A New Dorp North Indian institution on the South Shore since 1990. Known for fresh-baked naan and consistently well-spiced curries, still going strong in its third decade.

A North Shore kitchen in New Brighton known for goat and lamb kormas and tandoor specialties. Praised for authentic flavor and family-friendly service.
The Malabar fish curry is a genuine reason to head to the North Shore.

- 3Grasmere · $$ · 1476 Hylan Blvd, Staten Island, NY 10305
A neighborhood favorite on the Hylan Blvd corridor, the rebranded successor to Indian Xpress 2. Hearty, well-priced North Indian classics, with a few Nepali dishes on an Indian-led menu.
Big, satisfying portions that make it a dependable Hylan Blvd standby.
The chicken biryani is the crowd-pleaser, and this is the successor to Indian Xpress 2 at a new address.
- 4Mariners Harbor · $$ · 2236 Forest Ave, Staten Island, NY 10303
A cozy Indian spot in Forest Commons Plaza in Mariners Harbor. Praised for freshly made seekh kebabs and tandoori chicken.
Fresh-off-the-grill seekh kebabs are worth the trip to the West Shore.
The seekh kebab is the order, and calling ahead helps since seating is tight.
