Where Every Dish Tells a Regional Story
Step inside India Garden on East State Street — where clay-oven tandoori, slow-simmered curries, and warm hospitality make every visit worth the trip.
A Warm Welcome on East State Street
India Garden has been Traverse City's home for authentic regional Indian cuisine — over 600 reviews and a 4.8-star rating speak for themselves.
Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo, Garlic Naan
Our kitchen draws from the full breadth of India's regional traditions — from the creamy, slow-simmered north to the aromatic layers of the south.

What our guests are saying
This was so good. I haven’t had great Indian food like this in ages. The flavors were awesome. The people are very friendly too. I will happily be coming back.

The food came out fast, fresh, and absolutely delicious! The restaurant was very clean, and the portions were huge—enough for three or four meals. Hands down the best Indian food I’ve had in years. Highly recommend!

New place. Heard good reviews. Tried it. Need to go back!!!!! Sooooooo good!!!!! So fresh, deep and real spices. We had a cinnamon stick and cardamom pod in our mango curry and it made the aromatics so strong! The chicken, shrimp and lamb kabobs were off the hook. Veggies rocked. The cashew nut sauce was such a nice compliment. We got medium heat and it was just right. Enough to clear your head. We were so full!

From India's Kitchens to Northern Michigan
India Garden came to Traverse City with a simple conviction: that the bold, aromatic flavors of India's many regional kitchens deserved a proper home in northern Michigan. It turns out the city was ready — and hungry.
