The Scene
Though it's located in a somewhat generic strip mall, the owners have dressed up the interior with glittery Indian tapestries, statues and artifacts. The result is a cozy hangout for Indian-food lovers and neophytes alike.
The Food
With 20 pure vegetarian items to choose from, India Kitchen is probably the best choice for vegetarian Indian food in the city. The vegetable korma is lighter and less creamy than other restaurants' versions--a plus if you're looking for lighter fare. And the vegetarian Mulligatawny is tummy-filling and bargain priced. For those who do eat meat, try the spicy, exotic chicken eggplant or sweet-and-sour chicken with mango chutney. Be sure to order a cup of the spice-infused masala chai on cool evenings, or the spicy iced tea if it's hot out.

The India Kitchen is a hole in the wall restaurant that is some what hard to find for first time customers, but it is well worth the search. It has a mom & pop kind of vibe, and the focus is clearly on the flavor. Everything is served family style, and the dishes taste fresh, and surprisingly light, considering how oily some Indian food can be. Despite not having a buffet, the prices for dinner are quite reasonable, and the portions are big enough that it is often hard to save room for dessert. However if you do make it through your meal still hungry for more i would try the gulab jamun, my personal favorite. There is only one in an order, but it is bigger then they are traditionally, and are topped off with coconut. I would definitely recommend India Kitchen to anyone in Albuquerque looking for some good ethnic food.

This is the worst "indian" food I have eaten my entire life. I have eaten over 200 restaturants throughout the United States and by far this is the bottom of the barrel. The spices are all off. The service is terrible, the food was clearly left overs from the day before. If you want real indo/Pak food, go to India Palace on wyoming and Montgomery. They really know their stuff there.

The India Kitchen is definately not your normal Indian Restaurant. It is extremely unique with several vegetarian, non vegetarian, as well as Seafood. There are all the classic indian dishes, but there are also other special dishes with an Indian Twist. I would recommend this restaurant over other restaurants, especially if you want to try different meats and vegatables with an indian twist.

First Time?:
Try the appetizer combination platter and dessert combination platter and you'll get to sample a great cross section of dishes for less money.
Plan Ahead:
This place is surprisingly busy on weekend nights, so call ahead and make a reservation if you can.
Doggie Bag:
You can take home more than leftovers after dinner. The restaurant has a small shop where you can buy Indian spices and other ingredients.
