Best Indian Food - Edit

Happened to be in SLC and saw the news story that they were just listed in the Michelin guide. So we stopped in for a late lunch. Truly great Indian food. We only shared veg samosas, naan, and navratan korma. Best I’ve ever had.

Be prepared. They news just came out about the Michelin guide and they’ve been getting slammed. And everything is fresh and made to order. So be kind and be prepared to wait. It’s worth it.

Best Indian Food in Salt Lake City Updated - Edit

UPDATE: It's been a few years since I've written my first comment. I have a few updates. Sadly, Covid did away with the lunch buffet and there is no sign of it returning. Happily, the food remains the best Indian food in Utah as I said years ago. During Covid I had to settle for Indian food from restaurants close to me house that delivery service would deliver to and I was way too far away from Star of Indian (about 20 miles) that delivery was unobtainable. It was nowhere near as good as Star of India so I was very happy when things went back to normal. Yellow dal, Chana Masala, Aloo Gobi Masala, Bhindi Masala and Kali Dal remain my favorites. I love Bengan Bartha, but I have to eat that family style. Too much eggplant for a single person at a single sitting.

The area where Star of India used to be, on the intersection of North Temple and Redwood Road, was razed in 2024 as part of a redevelopment project. Although it took several months to get the new location up and running, I am happy to report that the food still remains the best. Star of India's new location is 1000 Main Street in Salt Lake. They have been open for business for several months now. Responding to the sketchy area comment, the new location is in a much better neighborhood. Brand new construction of the restaurant interior made for a fantastic upgrade in ambiance and a bathroom that is always impeccable maintained.

But it's the food-- and family that makes the food-- that count the most. Because fresh Indian food, takes a little longer to prepare I call my order in before I get there when I have time limitations.

I've been to most of the Indian restaurants in Salt Lake County and Star of India definitely has the best food. At other restaurants they have a tendency to make the food too heavy and also not to prepare the spiciness in accordance with request. At Star of India they use fresh ingredients and when you ask for hot it's hot and when you ask for mild it's mild. The lunch buffet has hot sauce on the side so that you can season to taste. There are many extremely tasty and satisfying vegan options. With curry dishes you obviously are getting coconut milk but many non-saturated fat vegan items are available as well. The family who owns and operates the restaurant is very friendly and very interested that you get the best food experience you can get. The atmosphere is generally quiet and kids are welcomed. The pricing is modest and basmati rice is included free with most entree it

Superb freshly cooked food - Edit

They deserve the best compliments for serving freshly cooked food. Not very spicy. Vegan options available. They are not heating up frozen food. Everything seems fresh and that is why some time is needed for serving the food after it is ordered. Perfect taste. We had our meal here: Garlic Paratha, Paneer masala, rice, papad, yellow dal, mango lassi.

Pros: Real Indian food in taste, Freshly cooked food, Lot of options
