Everything we ordered was very fresh -- like they had taken it straight out of the pan and to our table -- and incredibly flavorful. The portions are generous, as well. I'd highly recommend the Paneer Chili (it's in the starter section but could definitely be taken as a main dish). The breads we had were also delectable. I can't recommend this place enough!

Every dish we have ordered was outstanding. From the tender, boneless lamb in the Rogan Josh to the incredibly flavorful paneer dishes and the chicken and mushroom in a creamy sauce! Their staff is kind and thoughtful-they even included an extra dessert on New Years! We are lucky to have them so close to home.

We ordered takeout on a Saturday, online ordering said it would be ready in 15 minutes. This was…read morenot the case, it was more like 40 minutes. Not ideal when you have a hungry toddler waiting in the car. No ambiance inside, really could use brighter lights (it was dim), some cleaning, decor and music. The place feels tired. Service was also lacking, did not receive a welcome and many people were just waiting there and had to approach the host stand (which is also at what appears to be the bar area?) Now to the food. Chana masala was good. Chicken tikka was fine, nothing special. Rice was fine but we received more like 1-1.5 portions of it instead of 2 (for the 2 entrees). Maybe they were short staffed, but my recent experiences missed the mark and I do not know if we will be coming back

I never write reviews, but I have to emphasize how amazing this restaurant is. First of all, the…read morefood is amazing. The best Indian food I have personally had in Minneapolis (or anywhere, for that matter). I have a love for spice, and am usually disappointed in the spice level offered by places that claim to be spicy! Mdikbal (the owner) delivers on that front without sacrificing flavor of his dishes. His hospitality is commendable, I've been in plenty of times where he will casually drop an appetizer on the house for people to try. The service is always amazing. The ambience is welcoming, although I am always sad to see when it is empty inside. This place is too good for them to be empty!! Located right on lake street, this place deserves to be booming with people. I bid you if you've read this far to give India Kutir a try. You will not be disappointed.

First time here and was super excited to try Nepalese food, so didn't get many pictures (whoops)…read more We had a table of 6 and ordered family style to share between all of us. Orders: Yak momo (12): DELICIOUS. Would 100% ordering this for anyone coming here. They were delicious. Cheese pakora: yummy deep fried cheese with a nice sauce - how could you go wrong? Naan: we ordered the garlic naan and butter naan. The butter naan was the best! Chicken thukpa: amazing soup with noodles. I wish we had ordered 2 of these. One was not enough. Chicken tikka masala: not bad, but not my favorite. I wouldn't order again because I liked everything else a lot better. Kabuli Chana: also v good! Came with rice. Though I still liked the soup and sides wayyy better. Overall, the service was great and it was a nice place to hang out and eat with friends. I'd definitely come back to try more of the menu!

We were greeted the moment we walked into the space and sat down next to a big window allowing us an opportunity to check out the action on Grand Ave. Our server was respectful and made frequent check-in's to our table. We got varying versions of masala, naan and samosa for our appetizer. Everything had great spice and was served perfectly warm. One of my goals is to eat more Indian food and therefore, I know I will be back. Thank you, Everest!!

You can fill them with beautifully spiced vegetarian or meat options, a variety of zesty chutneys (sauces), fresh salads/toppings, and something crunchy. I got the lunch deal: it's a half-rice bowl with the paratha bread and their sauce on the side. I filled it with basmati rice, chicken tikka masala, milt cilantro and pickled aioli, all the "fresh" options, and crispy fried chickpea with the masala fried. So flavorful I loved it! Whether you're new to Indian food, or just looking for something to spice up your life while shopping, it's definitely worth the stop. The staff was friendly and explained menu items I wasn't familiar with. I love coming here when I'm at the MOA, or to their other locations around the Twin Cities.

The server accidentally gave us dessert before we got our food, and the owner told them to take it back so we can be served fresh. We got some combo meals that come with side dishes.

Vibes are just cozy and warm overall, and I can't wait to be back for the second time!!

Thankfully, my companions were all willing to split dishes, so I could try more than one. We started out with the lentil green onion pancakes. They were don't earth than I had expected. I thought they would be more of a super crispy flat dish, but they have the substance of a real pancake, with savory flavors. Really wonderful. We ordered three entrées, including the jackfruit and the eggplant. The jackfruit was my absolute favorite, but that was not universal. I think it was very well well prepared, but not everyone likes jackfruit and not everyone loves those spices. But it made me so happy. The eggplant dish was pretty good, but the potato two eggplant ratio could be improved. A few too many potatoes and not enough eggplant. Otherwise excellent. The service was fine. The owner did come over and say hello to us afterwards and he was delightful. Another excellent immigrant owned business to support in Minneapolis.
