The Best Restaurants for Indian Food in Rome

It took ages for me to hunt down decent acai in the Italian capital; even longer for a poke bowl that didn鈥檛 taste like a fishy mess, but Indian food? Practically a spot on every block!

I love trying a different Indian restaurant at least once a week. The cuisine is a fantastic break from the never-ending pizza and pasta buffet that makes this city go round. There鈥檚 nothing like a warm Indian dinner in the chilly Italian winters. Here are a few of my top spots:

New Delhi Indian Restaurant in Rome

New Delhi Indian Restaurant is right across from the Termini Train Station in the center of Rome. If you鈥檙e taking ground transportation to any other Italian cites, like Milan or Verona, or take any day trips from Rome,听 you鈥檒l do so from here when the time comes.

For these prices you鈥檒l find it hard to fault anything on the menu. A thali combo plate will cost you just 鈧�10. Yes, the naan isn鈥檛 as rich, or fluffy, as it could be鈥� and yes you may be eating off of a metal tray but this is authentic Indian canteen food in the heart of Italy? Do we really need to be so critical?

One thing to note about New Delhi is that they don鈥檛 have any halal meats on their menu; strict halal eaters usually make use of the extensive vegetarian menu instead.

Jaipur – Ristorante Indiano in Rome

You can tell a lot about a restaurant based off of the clientele seated inside. At Jaipur, the space is always packed with people either from India, or people who have traveled to, and eaten in, India.

What鈥檚 more, Rome鈥檚 Trastevere neighborhood rarely has restaurants that are mediocre; they simply can鈥檛 be to keep up with the cost of rent. So Jaipur ticks all the boxes, over and over again.

The food is wonderfully authentic, and prices are not as high as they could be! I would recommend coming with a friend or two and doing a tapas-style shared dinner with a few different curries, breads, rice, sambals and dal.

The portions are huge; I advise against ordering starters unless you are used to consuming so much food.

Gandhi 2 Indian Restaurant in Rome

The name of this restaurant is what got me. Stroll past a sign that reads 鈥淕andhi 2鈥� while on a guided walking tour and tell me your immediate first thought isn鈥檛 鈥渨hat happened to Gandhi 1?鈥�.

I knew I had to visit. And thankfully this is the closest Indian restaurant to the Trevi Fountain, so I was able to combine both into a romantic evening with myself (when in Rome!).

Gandhi 2 blew me away. A complimentary glass of Champagne whilst browsing the menu on arrival? My date with myself started better than expected.

They have a full wine list, which is something a lot of Indian restaurants in Rome don鈥檛 actually offer for religious reasons. Vegans, vegetarians and meat eaters are all well catered too, and I did witness the staff making a great fuss & effort over a table where a diner reported her severe gluten allergy. It鈥檚 a safe and caring environment for everyone to enjoy.

As I said, if you鈥檙e dining here by night, definitely make the short walk over to the Trevi. It鈥檚 a wonder late in the evenings when it鈥檚 illuminated.

Himalaya Palace in Rome

This next spot is run by a fabulous character named Mr Gupta, who will grace you with his presence during your meal if you are so lucky. He鈥檚 been in Rome for decades, and in many ways he was one of the pioneers for the emergence of Indian food in the Italian capital.

The Himalaya Palace is a restaurant where you won鈥檛 dine with alcohol, and you will order starters. That鈥檚 simply how it is.

Their menu is perfectly portioned so that starter and entree dining can be experienced together, without the overwhelm of too much food. Desserts are also quite standard, but this is at your discretion. I鈥檓 tankful someone told me this prior to my arrival; were you to dine here and skip straight to mains you might be disappointed at the smaller servings.

Mr Gupta has worked hard brining traditional Indian dining to Rome, let鈥檚 show him some love!

Ristorante Indiano Bombay in Rome

When you need to go on a real Indian dinner date with another actual human being, be it an existing lover or new Tinder meet, then Ristorante Indiano Bombay would be my ultimate recommendation.

I say this because they have done extremely well in romanticising the space to create the perfect transportive night out. As charming and whimsical as Rome is, it鈥檚 sometimes nice to feel like you鈥檙e elsewhere, even for a few hours.

I can鈥檛 fault the menu at Indaino Bombay at all. I had low expectations my first visit, as this was the first Indian food I ever tried in Rome. I was the antithesis of disappointed and you will be too; this would be my number one recommendation for Indian food in Rome.
