Indian Paradise

My husband and I order take out often and it’s always delicious!! Great service and quality! Sometimes the food can take a while, but I don’t mind because I know it’s going to be delicious. The owners and employees are always very kind. If you follow there page on facebook you can keep up with specials they have, so worth it! Indian food is my favorite cuisine, I’m so glad they have opened cause I’ve been having to travel to Baton Rouge for good Indian food before this place opened up.

This is the best place I have been to in a long time, Me, My mom, and My cousin went to this restaurant and we got fresh food and the service exceeded expectations. We highly recommend.

One word: delicious! We drove in from out of town to try this establishment. We like to eat and make Indian food often, so we were excited to find that there was a new place to try.

Upon entering the restaurant, I noticed it was clean and nicely decorated. We were greeted and sat promptly. There was a buffet; however, we opted to order several dishes and share. The owner recommended the honey cauliflower. It reminded me of orange chicken. It was very good and came with a cilantro-mint sauce that was excellent.

We ordered Chana masala, paneer saag, veggie korma, and madras curry. We also ordered naan and papadm. I haven’t had papadm in many years, and I was thrilled that it arrived tasting as good as I remember. All of the dishes were enjoyed. We had a bit to take home too. The saag was some of the best I’ve ever had. The paneer was slightly browned, which added a nice texture and flavor.

The restaurant was moderately crowded; it was encouraging to see people supporting a local business.

We had a great experience and intend to return.

I will start by saying that I have a lot of experience with good, authentic Indian food. I will happily say that the food that I ate from here was the best of any local Indian food restaurant I have tried, so far. The food was a bit lacking in spices, as I have found in other local Indian restaurants. (I realize that many may disagree, but this is based on my own personal experiences.) Was it the best Indian food that I have ever eaten? No. However, it is probably the best that I will ever find in this general area, and it was acceptable. I gave four stars instead of five, because the portions were a bit small, based on the entree prices charged. The plastic container in the photo is what you receive for a dinner portion of chicken tikka masala. The naan that I tried (two varieties) was okay, but also a bit smaller portion than what is served in most Indian restaurants that I have been to. The owner and staff were very nice, and welcoming. Overall, a nice addition to the area, and we will continue to give them our business.

First of all, I have to say how excited I am to have an Indian restaurant in Bay Saint Louis. This is such a courageous move for the owners - to introduce a very deep international food culture into another. They should be applauded and supported. I normally write a a good, bad and ugly type review but today I can only write a good, better, amazing! The good...atmosphere is in the early stages. The building has come a long way from the dark and dingy days of The Third Base. Good riddance to that eyesore! I have no doubt that it will improve with time. I for one look forward to the growth and evolution of the space. For now, Indian Paradise is bright, sunny and lively. Rachel and the rest of the wait staff are warm and welcoming and made me feel at home. The better...simply put FOOD IS AMAZING! We enjoyed standard dishes you will find in most Indian restaurants like Chana Massala and Chicken Tikka Massala but also enjoyed an amazing fish curry and honey cauliflower. For the next few days the menu will rotate so I'm sure there are more delights coming. I cannot wait to try all of them. The AMAZING...so many things are amazing about this place but one thing truly blew me away...the hot chai tea. Even on this warm day it was a warm, soothing, homemade hug from far away.

I hope everyone can appreciate that the food cultures of India and South Louisiana/Mississippi are much more alike than different. Dig into the recipes and you'll find tons of similarities. Don't be afraid. Please, do yourself a favor, come to Indian Paradise. Welcome Rachel, Amit and the team into our amazing and unique town. It can only make us more unique and amazing! Who knows, maybe we can even have a Diwali celebration this fall! File next to: variety is the spice of life!
