Went here because it's a DDD which means Guy Fieri ate here and it was featured in Food Network. I'm not a huge fan of Indian food but I had the chicken momo and they were delicious. read more

Passage to India - Indian Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Excellent food here! We arrived at 7:30pm before closing at 8:00pm but they had no problem seating us. Decent decor but little air conditioning on a hot evening in July. I enjoyed the history of India on the wall dating back to 3600 BC. We ordered vegetable samosas, Garlic naam, Chicken Biryani and palak paneer both at medium heat. Somosas came out quickly nice and hot. The pastry was crispy and the filing had some heat but it was not the most flavorful that I have had. The garlic naan was superb, fresh, hot, and tender. The biryani was had nice chunks of chicken thighs with a good amount of heat. The palak paneer was delicious, spinach and paneer, just the way I like it. The service was attentive and kind. Overall, I would recommend Passage to India and will definitely go back on my next trip to Fargo. (No Pictures, I was too hungry to wait). read more

It's no wonder Guy visited from DDD! Love the location, savored the food. Delish butter chicken, veggie korma and naan in plentiful portions. The service was friendly, attentive. The location was adorable. We especially found the WiFi password to be delightfully humorous. Bathrooms were super clean and smelled good Highly recommend. Would return. read more

Passage to India - a bowl of rice, a bowl of curry, and a bowl of naan bread - Indian Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Service 5/5 - the service was great! Routinely checking in on the two of us. Food came out relatively quickly. Additionally, the server was upfront that the biryani dish was rather spicy, which was nice. Food 5/5 - Awesome!!! My partner and I got the chicken biryani and lamb curry, garlic naan, and samosas. It was served hot. Highly recommend the naan. Lastly, I would recommend this place to anyone wanting to try a new place to eat! read more

Always good food. However, their BUFFET was taken down due to Covid-19, and never put back up again. So NO BUFFET! read more

the happiest I've felt in almost 20 years. keep doing your thing. unbelievable food. the food is seasoned beautifully, and although the samosas were slightly greasy, the seasoning was so damn good, I don't even care. the chicken bariani, I think that's how you spell it, could heal depression. you guys are an unbelievably beautiful contribution to our beautiful city of fargo, you have absolutely no idea. I'm sure the service is dope too, but I got it door dashed, so I can't say. shout out Stanford though! he was my door dash guy. in conclusion, if you are having a bad day, bad week, bad month, year, decade, WHATEVER. Come to this place, and they will show you happiness, and a journey in seasoning form. stay blessed, and keep loving what you do. because it's worth all of the love it can get. best regards, Elliot Frost. read more

Passage to India - a man pouring water over a plate of food - Indian Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

Fabulous dishes and the heat lingers! Top it off with a mango lassi. Finish with cinnamon sweet potato cheesecake.

The food is fantastic! My favorite appetizer that can't be beaten is the garlic naan bread. Crispy with a soft texture with every bite with a blast of garlic and spices on top. It compliments almost every curry and masala dish. Speaking of masala, the Chicken Tikka Masala is an iconic staple of Indian cuisine. It's originally mild in spice heat, but the creaminess, tenderness of the chicken, and near perfect blend of spices makes up for it. If you wanted an extra kick, feel free to ask for extra spices, go with the Vindaloo, which tastes like chili, for a comparison, or some Malai Methi, a cashew curry sauce instead of a tomato base. The staff were fantastic and have excellent pointers on new foods to try and know the menus of almost every dish's ingredients. Passage to India has memorabilia of most things Indian and Indian culture. It has a great feel to it like you wandered to a pocket of India! If you wanted to make some of these iconic dishes, they have a market attached to the back of the restaurant to buy the ingredients to make these wonderful dishes! If you've got a sweet tooth, I strongly recommend the Chai Tea, a vanilla black tea, and a side of the Black Forest Cherry Chocolate Cake. The tartness of the cherries and semi-sweet chocolate are seamlessly blended in a perfect combo with the tea and the pastry. Would recommend and return whenever the craving hits! read more

I love this place! I've always had great food! I try to come every time I get to Fargo.

Food and service good server's were also neat and clean well behaved good is real good on vegetarian

It's always when I have a random craving for Indian food that I am so lucky to find a local spot to serve just that. Everything was absolutely delicious with one exception: I ordered the lamb biryani and it was definitely beef. Aside from that. The portion was great and still yummy! read more

Passage to India 855 45th St S, Fargo, ND 58103 May 14, 2021 Friday - 7:15 PM  for take-out dinner 2 Adults (I was the one picking up the order) Atmosphere - 4 stars Food - 5 stars Service - 5 stars Background - Our cross country road trip has just started this afternoon as we left Minot ND earlier today.  We love Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives television show and knew this restaurant was featured within the last year. Atmosphere - Nothing special, but I did not spend much time in the restaurant as it was take out dinner for two people.  Service was takeout and it was very fast, in and out. Food - The food containers were not conducive to the Lamb Rogan Josh that I ordered. I did not have a place to empty the containers onto.  Sorry no picture of the saffron rice.  The lamb chunks we very large and tender. I was able just use my fork to break into smaller pieces.  So the size was not even an issue.  The sauce or stew that it was in was amazing, I can not even put it into words.  So get yourself to the place and order it, NOW!!  My wife loves India food, that being said we have never had anything like these meals tonight.  She had the Lamb Biryani which had the same large lamb chunks in basically a very spice fried rice dish.  Her food container was perfect. Another excellent choice as I stole some early in the meal. Service - We found their menu online as we were driving, okay wife did all the work as she was the passenger.  I already knew I wanted based on Triple D.  She placed the call so it would be ready when arrived, which it was.  It had to the fastest food order ever, fast and to the point.  They had a table near the registers with probably five plus bags of take out.  You tell them your name, they find your bag, ring you up and bam you are done.  If you need plasticware it is next to those backs, I did have to go back in and find it. Future - I would love to visit again! read more

See all

FYI Beware; Passage to India on 45th will charge you 15% tip with you knowing it. We were a party of three our bill was almost $80 dollars we were ok with it until we saw the 15% tip, we were shocked, I asked why they charged us the tip? They said this is how we operate. I automatically said NO, the law states in ND if your are a party of 6 or more you can charge for extra gratuity. The man behind the counter said no and showed me the menu that they have written in their Indian language that he can charge because it written and stated that's how I run my restaurant. I completely refused and said call the Police because I will not pay it. An old lady (maybe the owner) when she heard I said call the police, she returned the tip. Again BEWARE and do not get SCAMMED. It will be reported "The Passage to India" to the City Licensing and the DEPARTMENT of Revenue. read more

They're food is always delicious and hot! Never disappointed. I've traveled to other cities and they're still the best!

This is our favorite restaurant in Fargo. Wonderful Indian cuisine, but the owners and staff make it a relaxed, peaceful experience.

My favorite Indian restaurant in town. I miss the old buffet though. Could be quicker on the pop refills. read more

We really enjoyed the fresh high quality food, lots of great options and super hot naan bread. Service was exceptional and the inside was clean and very comfortable. We were made to feel so welcome. We will definitely be back! I also love that they include the 15% gratuity right away as it makes the process more efficient for all parties. read more

We have been eating here for years and nothing compares. Our favorite dish is Malai Methi Murgh!

This place is one of the best Indian restaurants in town. The food is amazing, the staff is awesome. The food is rich in flavor and colorful. They do take-outs too - which is equally as awesome. Their buffet is really good, and, I know this is silly, but their water is good. Very good place to take with family. Attached is a plate I got before this year. Their takeout is amazing as well, and I love going here! read more

Passage to India - Amazing food! - Indian Near Me - Fargo, North Dakota

The wife and father-in-law came over, and we enjoyed a delightful meal. The highlight was undoubtedly the Gobi Manchurian, the best I've ever tasted, along with butter chicken, vindaloo, paneer, and naan. This restaurant now ranks among my top two favorite Indian dining spots. read more

Holy Yum Amazingness... gah! So good! I'm pausing my meal to write this review before I inhale every last bite and slip into sweet yummy death. I do t remember which entree this is... when I called I asked for a recommendation for a no-meat and no-dairy dish. Whatever this is, it's worth getting another dozen times. Even if you are a meat eater... get this. Show him the picture... I don't know... but figure it out and order it! And the momos I could bathe in the dipping sauce. And the naan, I could wrap myself up in it like a towel. I won't. But I could. And it's be glorious. read more

Amazingly great food! I have a new favorite place in Fargo. I was in town for 5 days and stopped in a second time because I have such a great experience. Friendly and accommodating staff and excellent food. read more

One of my favorite dishes is Chicken Tikka Masala and I have tried it all over the country. Passage to India has one of, if not the best I've ever had! Everyone was also very friendly and helpful! I can't wait to come back to Fargo and enjoy some of the best Indian cuisine out there!! read more

Great food but hidden charges. Ordered takeout and paid when I picking up the order. Looked at the receipt and saw 18% gratuity was added automatically. They said they did this for multiple reasons; Covid tax, accidentally, I selected it (I did not), Etc. We thought the employee was scamming us so we tired contacting the owners of the restaurant and got told a similar story by other staff about the charge. I have no problem tipping but 18% for a take out order, nope. If they need to charge more add it to the price of the food don't charge me fraudulently. After much arguing and me threatening to take the food back a report this as fraud to my credit card company they reversed the 18% added gratuity. See picture for proof. read more

Decided to take a one-day trip to Fargo. After seeing many of the usual chains, I opted for something a little more personalized. I was glad I took the time to hit up Passage to India. The food was very well seasoned and most dishes had very good flavor. Option on the buffet included a kidney bean curry, rice pudding, chicken curry, chili chicken, gobi manchurian, veggie masala, chicken tiki masala, and tandoori chicken. Chai is also available as a buffet item. There was also a carrot dessert that I did not sample, nor did I sample the fried jalapeno peppers. I'll note the peppers were whole; jalapenos just aren't my thing. Additionally, they have a nice little compartment of sliced onions, jalapenos, and lemons in the "cold" section. Three different types of chutneys are available. The uttahpam was stuffed with onion and cilantro. Very good flavor. The employees staffing the place were very nice. I had a waitress who told me she was new. She was extra-cautious about clearing plates and refilling water. I think she's on the right path. Definitely recommend this place. For those who have concerns about such things, I did see a Halal certificate hanging in the front entryway. read more

I have always had great food from here, tonight the lamb kabobs were not eatable, tough as leather and no taste I threw out more than half my order never order that again ugg horrible hope they can make this better or take it off the menu. This was negative 5 stars but had to put at least a star to post just FYI. read more

Traveled here on business and was recommended to try this place. WOW what a hidden gem this food knocked me off my feet it was insanely delicious. One of my most memorable meals, you absolutely need to eat here if you get the chance!! read more

This place is outta bounds. It felt like I was actually in India. Have to get the lamb rogan and devil's shrimp. The berry cake is also by far the best in Fargo. Will be back read more

The place has really great food, It's probably one of the best Indian food restaurants I've been too. I usually eat at the restaurant, but as of recently I've been getting it delivered to my apartment. I've done it twice and the first time I didn't get one of the entrees but got the rice for it. The second time i got it delivered I found a piece of wood or something in my food. So I just be weary if you have it delivered, but otherwise if your dining in the restaurant it has a great atmosphere and awesome food. read more

The food was absolutely delicious. Along with amazing food, they have the most wonderfully attentive servers I have ever come across. They also have a very nice atmosphere. I especially enjoyed the paintings they had on their walls. Another plus that I appreciated was the good amount of vegetarian options. Overall I highly recommend this restaurant and I plan to return and enjoy their amazing food. Small Aside: Google maps was a bit off with the navigation to this restaurant, so if you find yourself at the halaal market or the pawn shop, drive around to the other side of the building and you will find the restaurant. read more
