Even though there are a lot of Indians living in Hong Kong, it isn’t always so easy to find amazing Indian restaurants here.
I tried many looking for freshness and authentic flavors and I have been often disappointed.
Here are the restaurants that in my opinion deserve a visit:
Sangeetha
Found in a prime location in Tsim Sha Tsui, this place serves authentic and delicious Vegetarian Indian food at affordable prices. It specialises in South Indian cuisine but it offers some dishes from the North too, which are really tasty too.
Filled dosas – a sort of thin crêpe – are what you should really try. Sangeetha serves them filled with vegetables. There are a variety of options
Thali is served at weekends only.
The menu is small but what they do, they do everything well.
The restaurant is big enough that you don’t need to reserve in advance during the week. They do offer food delivery.
Decor is pretty simple so it won’t appear in any list for a romantic evening out, but the place is clean and tasty, which makes it an ideal place for lunch. It closes between 3 and 6pm
No alcohol is served.
UG 1-5 & 31, Wing On Plaza
62 Mody Road
East Tsim Sha Tsui
Kowloon, Hong Kong
Branto
Another Vegetarian Indian restaurant from the South of India with a more colourful but still simple decor. Located in a residential building, it would be hard to guess there was a good restaurant there unless was from word of mouth.
Dishes are good value, Fresh and delicious. The menu is quite large, plenty of things to try.
Dosa is again a hit but also the curries are good.
It also closes between 3 and 6pm but it’s usually open until 11pm.
No alcohol is served.
Karlock Building, 5-7A Lock Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, Hong Kong
Other highlights include a soft-play area, a craft workshop where instructors explain how to build certain Lego models and Lego pits where kids can just play.

Gaylord Indian Restaurant
Spacious and with a beautiful decor, serves both Vegetarian and non vegetarian options, from the north of India. Loved by Indian but also well-know among the western community of Indian food lovers. It has a vast menu with a number of less well-known dishes. It serves alcohol and cocktails.
Lamb dishes are really tasty and service is friendly. It comes at a price but still not too bad. It’s possible to get discounts to this restaurants by booking in advance through eatego app.
Closes between 2.30 and 6pm.
5/F, Prince Tower, 12A Peking Rd, Tsim Sha Tsui
Bombay Dreams
In the heart of central, with a very nice decor and good Indian food, this restaurant is popular and requires booking especially on Friday and Saturday night. Belong to a big restaurant group (the same as other good western restaurant Braza, Spiga, Fiamma, Alto etc). Opens every day non stop and has been around for a decade.
1/F Winning Centre, HK Hong Kong Island, 46 Wyndham St, Central
Jo Jo Indian Cuisine
There is a shortage of good Indian restaurants in Wan Chai but this is good. It’s a popular place for lunch during the week for it’s good buffet deal. It’s recomanded to book in advance.
It serves both vegetarian and non vegetarian dishes. It has a lot of natural light.
2/ Floor, David House, 37-39 Lockhart Rd, Wan Chai
New Punjab Club
It has a Michelin star since 2019, and serves authentic Punjab dishes. it’s part of the Black Sheep Group. The restaurant is quite small so prior booking is essential. The décor design has a post-colonial theme and it’s quite dark. It has some charms but despite being one of the most expensive Indian restaurants in town they don’t use a tablecloth so it’s okay for casual dining but not for a fancy dinner.
Food is really tasty.
Opens daily from 12 noon.
World Wide Commercial Building, 34 Wyndham St, Central
