    We arrived for a Tuesday dinner with a friend. We had some misunderstanding with the reservation but they had plenty of seats anyway. The service is quick and kind. There is a great selection of Indian dishes. For the first time I tried the lentils soup and was very satisfied. Both the meaty and vegetarian options were to our liking. A very similar experience as in their Buda restaurant but less packed and shorter waiting times.

    Good Indian food in a very nice setting! We are visiting Budapest and wanted to enjoy some different cuisine so we opted for Indigo Indian food based upon the google reviews. The wait staff were very nice and accommodating- the food was fresh and tasty! I think made for the Hungarian palate as my chicken tikki masala was rather paprika heavy as opposed to the traditional garlic spices. I did enjoy it but of the three big dishes on our table, it was the least spicy, even thought I asked for it “hott!” The naan was nice and the lamb was delightful. My Australian wife did NOT like the Aussie wine… so stick to beer. Certainly worth your time and money!

    Best street food easy to find is this place but chef need to understand food is too blend and Indian curries are not meant to be bland. Pls correct that.

    Best Indian restaurant! ❤️ We have visited both, the Buda and the Pest Indigo restaurant as well, and it's just reliable delicious food,. Everything we have tried was just yummy. An Indian friend of mine also told me it is really authentic Indian food and he didn't experience a lot of it yet in Europe. I simply love it, a visit to Budapest without some indigo food is wasted time 😋

    Food was ok, being Indian not as per expection. We order chilli garlic nan having no chilli, paneer lehsuni tikka with no garlic taste, paneer makhanwala is too sweet. Being Indian in Hungary I will not recommend to anyone if any one like good Indian taste.

    Weird experience... first I felt quite good in the restaurant, the waiter was kind, polite, menu looked amazing, wide selection of authentic Indian dishes. Food got ready within 15 minutes. Naan bread was small portion but delicious, everything else was big portion though. Chicken Tikka Massala was tasty, but a bit too tomato flavored, in other Indian restaurants that I visited, it tasted differently. Palak paneer was okay. Now the bill.... when they came to the table with the bill I asked if the service charge is included, they said "yes, we already added 10%", as I usually tip not more than that, I didn't leave anything extra...the waiter did not like it and became a bit rude. Sorry Indigo, but this was a really unprofessional reaction, I won't be visiting your restaurant again!!!

    The place is charming with a beautiful light. The Indian food is good but very basic, some dishes were extremely sweet and I didn't find the flavors of traditional dishes and the price is a bit high. Still, it's a nice place to go with friends.

    Great Indian restaurant with a nice atmosphere. Food is very spicy, but you can choose some meals without too much spice. We ordered one traditional dish and one without spice, the first one was tasty but too spicy for us, so we finished only half of it. If you like Indian food, this place good choice for you!

    Very authentic Indian food. We loved everything bout it. The person serving us was very gentle as well. Onion Kulcha was really very soft and tasty. Dal Makhanj and Aloo Jeera were great as well. Definitely a must go place for me if somebody wants to enjoy authentic Indian food with price that is really worth.

    We wanted to try different cuisines so after nice reviews decided to eat dinner here. It was nice restaurant, Indian traditional foods, design and hospitality. Food was very delicious, price was good, tables, plates and bathroom was very clean. We found a very clean and good place. Highly recommend to try to eat grill. Go and enjoy your dinner. Better than most of expensive and luxury looking places ...

    Amazing food with perfect hospitality. The only Indian restaurant that could bring back the authentic taste of India in not just Hungary but the entire Europe till now. We were a group of 7 people, and loved everything about this place to the core. The chef is a very humble man from India and the staff tries their best to make you feel home speaking a few words of Hindi here and there. A must go!

    I specially came to this restaurant after a Recommendation from a colleague and was pretty excited. Firstly, there's no lunch buffet. Secondly, i ordered lunch from the daily menu. It was Chicken Jalfrezi with Naan bread and Chicken soup. It took 10 mins for Chicken soup to arrive. It was terrible, with overcooked pieces of chicken and salty water. And then came the main dish (see image). I was actually surprised how tasty it was. Perfectly cooked and well presented. All 5 stars for the taste. The Naan was really soft, it needs special mention as it is difficult to get such high quality Naan anywhere in Europe, even in India. I finished it off with a plate of Gulab Jamun and it was totally amazing. 😋 The waiter was a bit funny but that's okay 😅

    Taste wise the food was good. I have rated less because I ordered chai, vegetarian thali and chicken tandoori everything was cold. And tandoori could be much better.

  • 5/5 Stipe M. 2 months ago on Google New
    Very tasty food and even better service. The whole experience was elevated to a higher level because of Anil who was very kind and helpful and recommended us the best dishes considering that it was my first time eating traditional Indian food.

    One of my favorite Indian restaurants in Budapest!!! Their butter chicken and Naan are amazing. I celebrated my birthday there and they catered us really well, I highly recommend :)

  • 5/5 AM G. 9 months ago on Google
    Amazing Indian food. Great flavors, big portions. The price is also very good. Highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Marcu D. 8 months ago on Google
    We came here just in time for lunch so we got the lunch special( from 12 pm to 4 pm). It was amazing. Each dish was great. We chose the chicken option. You also get a dessert "ball" which is great to finish the meal. Highly recommend getting another serving of naan with the menu, as we finished it quite quickly. The soda kinda felt like a store bought one though. Would recommend going. We paid around 5000 Huf per person.

  • 5/5 Anita P. 5 months ago on Google
    Great Indian food. The lunch veg Thali was amazing. Had one paneer dish, one mixed ceg, dal, rice , curd ,salad and roti . And the best part was the gulab jamun dessert which was also included in the Thali. The portion size is more than enough for a single person. The service was quick . And the ambience of the restaurant is very pleasant. Do try this if you like Indian food and if you are from India like us and want a taste of home do visit. The location is also quite convinient from the main train station..

  • 5/5 Hanne B. 3 months ago on Google New
    Food was really good and ideally for sharing, we had Anil as our server and he was very kind and helped with reccomendations. Food was quick as well. Consider making a reservation because otherwise you may have to wait for a table

  • 5/5 Yogesh K. 3 months ago on Google New
    Best food I have had in a while. Must visit place if you want authentic indian taste. Special mention to the service person Anil, he was humble, polite and very sweet. 😊

  • 5/5 Zuzana A. 3 months ago on Google New
    We have decided to order a takeaway after a long afternoon at very busy Christmas markets. We stumbled upon this restaurant and thought why not! The manager at the front house was great with fantastic sense of humour, the service was fab and the food was delicious and prepared very quickly despite the restaurant being absolutely full! We will certainly visit again, next time for a sit down meal for sure. 👍

  • 5/5 Viktor L. 2 months ago on Google New
    One of the best Indian restaurants in Budapest, not too fancy, not too casual - also recommended by Indian people. The service is attentive and kind, prices are matching the category and location. I had a Tikka Masala which arrived in the traditional dish, and added a nicely prepared, fresh, layered paratha bread. Also grabbed a mango lassi, all of these tasted good, not too spicy.

  • 5/5 Rahul R. 2 months ago on Google New
    Our favourite Indian restaurant in Budapest! We visited it for New year’s dinner. Anil convinced us to go for Lasooni Paneer Tikka and it was brilliant. The chole was good and so were the garlic naan and onion kulcha. The gulag jamun was delicious too. I would definitely visit here again!

  • 5/5 Елизавета �. 10 months ago on Google
    Amazing place with delicious food, great portions and fare prices! We took madras curry chicken, lamb curry and traditional garlic bread (garlic naan). Everything was delicious! It’s better to book a table beforehand if you are going on the weekends. On weekdays they have special lunch offers 12:00-16:00

  • 5/5 Lavanya L. 1 year ago on Google
    Tasty food, lovely ambience & friendly staff!!! We arrived 45 mins earlier than our booking time but they were very kind in accommodating us. They served food in 15 mins from taking order. Food was yummy & worth the price! Lorand served us & he took very good care of us. He was well versed with Indian food. Highly recommend this place.

  • 5/5 Kata Budapest tour g. 1 year ago on Google
    Had their butter chicken (was not the first time) and we were not dissapointed. Creamy and thick, delicious flavours! Butter naan is nice too. Also mango lassi was great. We like this place a lot.

  • 5/5 Chic T. 1 year ago on Google
    A serious address if you look for Indian food in Budapest. I was several time. Tasty tika massala and naam. Well recommended.

  • 5/5 Andrej D. 2 years ago on Google
    I try not to give too many five-star ratings, but this place deserves it. Amazing food (I don't know how authentic since I haven't had much Indian before) and great service. The restaurant was full, but I still didn't have to wait long for the food to arrive (maybe 10 mins or so for the main dish after I was done with the soup). The prices seem fair--not cheap but also not too expensive--and I really like the look and slightly dim ambiance of the place, too.

  • 5/5 Istvan E. 2 years ago on Google
    The food was yet again delicious, and we were very happy with this restaurant on the Pest side, too.

  • 5/5 Pradnya M. 2 years ago on Google
    Loved the food here. I felt so good after having my favorite delicacies... The staff is very friendly and warm. Ambience is great too. ❤️❤️❤️

  • 5/5 Tímea M. 2 years ago on Google
    Very delicious Indian food. The service was great and I think the prices are not expensive at all, since you get a big portion. I definitely recommend you to try this place if you want real authentic food.

    One of the best Indian food I have had in a long time. Was pleasantly surprised to find such authentic taste in middle of Budapest.

  • 5/5 A G. 2 years ago on Google
    Nice staff, perfect food and drinks. My two vegan friends were given advise about their options very well and could enjoy a delicious complete meal. Have been there the frist time more than 5 years ago and have always been very pleased. (:

  • 4/5 Iván N. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is delicious! Wide range of dishes for vegetarians, too. The only thing that I did not like about the place was that it isn't really an authentic Indian restaurant, when it comes to its look and feel.

  • 1/5 Mohamed T. 2 years ago on Google
    Went once again due to multiple great earlier experiences .. this time totally bad experience.. served not warm food.. unattended for long time..very bad feeling unfortunately...☹️☹️☹️

    Best restaurant i ever visited in europe I can say. Service is at its best. At this price you will get quality with quantity.

  • 5/5 Sarah 2 years ago on Google
    It was good. Friendly staff and not expensive. It's not close to the center, but it's a good choice if you want to eat Indian food.

  • 5/5 Marco van H. 2 years ago on Google
    The food and service were incredible, coming for a most reasonable price. We absolutely loved the main course, side dishes, and dessert. The waiter was really friendly and advised us well. My girlfriend picked this place, but for me it was my first experience with Indian food. I can definitely say; you made me a big fan for the tasteful food you serve!
