Who can resist piping hot, fragrant food at an Indian restaurant? From Chaat and Chaiwala to Woodlands and Gaylord, here are the best Indian restaurants in Hong Kong.
From creamy korma and spicy vindaloos to endless baskets of buttery naan, there’s no better comfort food than Indian fare! While it’s not the easiest to cook at home (think of the number of spices that go into a simple dal), there are plenty of family-friendly Indian restaurants that you can head to for a satisfying meal. Here are some of our favourite Indian restaurants all across Hong Kong.

Best Indian Restaurants On Hong Kong Island
Bombay Dreams – Indian restaurant with great buffet lunch options
This is a Hong Kong favourite because it’s consistently good! It offers a great buffet lunch deal but what we love most about it is its fabulous Sunday brunch. Watch your kids devour the samosas, kebabs, biryani and more, but ask them to save space for the piping hot jalebis and mithai at the end.
Bombay Dreams menu: Choose from the a la carte, brunch, lunch and tasting menus here
Bombay Dreams, 1/F Winning Centre, Hong Kong Island, 46 Wyndham Street, Central, Hong Kong 2811 9888, www.sandshospitality.com/bombay-dreams

Leela is one of the latest additions to the Indian dining scene in Hong Kong and it’s a a showcase of India’s most diverse culinary delights, from street snacks to rich curries from all over the vast country. Admittedly, it’s pricier than regular Indian fare so we’ll save it for date nights or special occasions such as celebrating our teens’ milestones.
