We have made a list of Indian restaurants for you to visit and eat the best Indian food while being in Hong Kong.
Gaylord
Gaylord came into being in 1972. In the view of Hong Kong’s competitive restaurants, it is good to discover and enjoy the glory of the food culture it serves.
Here, you will be greeted by smiling faces with the aroma of spices and freshly baked naans from tandoor. Once you are inside, you will fall in love with the menu. You can explore as many vegetables as possible. Just to help you, in case you can’t decide which to try at first, go for onion bhaji and vegetable samosas. These are quite crispy delights.
Chicken tikka malai is delicately marinated in yogurt, and cardamom, to make the plump chicken moist and tender.
The vegetable dishes are also delicious. The fresh okra in the bhindi masala retains a little bite, while the chole bhature is a wonderful mix of crispiness, softness with spicy chickpeas in rich tomato gravy with big bhatura (fried unleavened bread).
Gaylord definitely nails the chicken tikka masala, but the showstopper is one and only, the lamb madras. It is quite tender, includes the chunks cooked in a rich, spicy, coconut gravy which is served with a fragrant saffron pulao and a delightfully charred yet pillowy garlic naan.
Bombay Dreams
If being busy indicates the popularity and is a sign of a good restaurant, then Bombay Dreams is the place where you can definitely finger lick Indian cuisine. Bombay Dreams is a fine-dining eatery that blends a contemporary feel with authentic Indian cuisines that are just excellent in approach.
Here are the food items that you can try- three courses, plus accompaniments and desserts. Apart from being reasonable, it has also added the benefit of selecting a dish from the menu a lot easier.
You can even try their tandoori pink salmon, rosemary chicken tikka and sesame paneer tikka. My rosemary chicken tikka was easily the best I have ever had — great in taste with perfectly cooked chicken.
Curry Lounge
This Indian restaurant in Hong Kong was established because there was a lack of good- quality, authentic Indian food in Hong Kong. So, curry lounge was born in 2016.
