I became an instant fan over 15 years ago. There's a salon just a few steps down on 20th that serviced my kids would and while they were getting something done, it was my chance to find something to eat in the neighborhood. On my very first visit ever, I knew in my head I wanted something with lamb and rice. I stated this to the owner who seated my wife and I and he recommended the House Special. It was a biriyani with pieces of chicken, lamb, beef, shrimp and love. I refuse to order anything else because this has everything I could possibly want in a meal, and it can last me 3 days...very rarely, though. Usually it only lasts me 20 minutes, lol. My wife enjoys their Tikka Masala and just yesterday my daughter wanted to try their Vegetable Samosa. I always try their food, and it's ha

I have been ordering from this place for about 6 years now. I always order the shrimp nirgisi very spicy and my husband always orders the spicy chicken curry. This place has some of the best consistency in quality that I've seen in any restaurant. Every time I order from here it's so delicious and I'm always so impressed with how freaking tasty it is EVERY time! I LOVE this place and any other place I've tried curry or anything spicy at all just pales in comparison. Thank you thank you thank you for the delicious food!!

Star of India has been my favorite Indian spot for years. The food is fantastic and the portions will last you for days. I often freeze the leftover sauce and use it for cooking later. If they offered butter chicken, I’d eat here every week. I’m confident it would be the best in the area. Highly recommend if you’re looking for reliably high-quality Indian cuisine

We've been a fan for almost 10 years since we moved here. The owner gentleman is wonderful, as well as the staff. They remember you (we always order the same menu items 🤣) and always greets us with a smile! They are full of kindness and friendliness. Food is delicious, very generous portions, too. We especially love their garlic naan (lots of fresh garlic sprinkled!), lamb korma and other curries, and biryanis. Highly recommend! It's our local favorite for take out dinners!! We've never eaten inside, but it is a very quiet, peaceful ambience. I'm sure the service will be fantastic.

I have been frequenting Star of India for over 20 years. The food is always delicious and the portions are always very generous. The ambiance here is unique, comfortable, and inviting. It is dimly lit (for anyone who that may be an issue for) but has so much character. I've enjoyed many meals here with my family over the years, and every time we were greeted so warmly by the family that owns/runs it. More recently I've enjoyed ordering their food for delivery. Either way the food never disappoints. The curries (sauces) are absolutely delicious. Some of our faves include the chicken tikka masala, chicken peshwari, and shrimp jal-frozi, along with the star appetizer, papdum, and chutneys. Just recently came to find out that they are also participating with 2g2g which I think is amazing on t
