House of India

I happened to be on vacation while here in Tennessee and the delicious Aroma of the genuine Indian cuisine dragged me in. Rankeet bhai , Shaun , JP and last but not least Moheet made me feel like I was being hosted in their own home. Grate service, fresh baked naan and off course the all you can eat sumptuous lunch buffet Chai and sweets were the icing on the cake Definitely coming back during my short stay in TN. Uttam! Perfect in hindi 👌🏻

My second time here, and this place still does not disappoint! I came for the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet, and I love that I get to try so many different dishes I never would’ve thought to try on my own. Everything is always well-stocked, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The music and the smells throughout the restaurant are absolutely perfect, and the service is just as wonderful… everyone is so polite and friendly. And the hot chai? Incredible! Highly recommend giving this spot a try!

We had a great dinner at House of India. We ordered the Garlic Naan, Chicken Tika Marsala and vegetable Biriyani. Everything was so flavorful and made with fresh ingredients. The best Indian food we’ve experienced in Tennessee. We highly recommend it.

House of India in Franklin truly stands out—not just because it’s one of the few Indian restaurants in the area open late, but because of their genuine hospitality. I had a rough night after some hot sauce messed up my stomach and, on a last-minute call, I asked if they could make curd rice (which isn’t even on their menu). To my surprise, they told me to come by, and when I got there, they had prepared it fresh just for me. This is a Punjabi-style restaurant, yet they went out of their way to accommodate me. The staff didn’t just stop there, they listened to my situation, offered me a mango lassi, and treated me with so much care that it honestly felt like family. That level of compassion is rare to find in restaurants these days. Beyond that, the food on their menu is top-notch, full of flavor, and served in a warm, welcoming ambiance. While I was there, I even heard customers calling in just to praise their food after taking to-go orders, that says everything about the quality and service. House of India didn’t just serve me dinner; they turned my night around with their kindness and hospitality. A hidden gem in Franklin, highly recommend for both food and experience!

I have traveled across the country and have not encountered such delectable Indian cuisine. This is the best Indian food that America has to offer. The price is excellent for the quality as well as service. The workers are kind, friendly, and feel like family, especially Shaun who served us. Everything was excellent tasting and I will be coming again. I felt welcomed and appreciated as a guest, and got to enjoy the best food I’ve had all month.

Always amazing service and incredible food. I’ve gone through the entire menu at this point in all the years I’ve come here. The people who work here are like my family now! Always get the hot tea. You won’t regret it :)

If you’re looking for incredible Indian food in Middle Tennessee, House of India is absolutely amazing. The food is packed with flavor, fresh, and perfectly cooked every time. The buffet is seriously one of the best parts — so many great options, all hot and constantly refilled, and everything tastes authentic and high quality. The tikka masala is rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced, and the tea is so comforting and flavorful. The mango lassi was smooth, sweet, and the perfect refreshing drink to go with the meal. On top of that, the service was friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. Overall, everything from the food to the service to the vibe was outstanding — I’ll definitely be coming back!

YALL THIS PLACE IS FANTASTIC. From the chutneys to the mains, lassi and masala tea. Every dish, sauce, and bread I tasted I melted into that “yummmm” feeling. Heads up they make no bones about the spice, if you say a spice level, mean it with your chest. The serving floor works quickly and kindly, no sooner did you finish your water than they come to top you off. I am an out of towner, here for work—if you’re native here. Oof. I am jealous, so eat a dish for me. (Ps. The Rogan Josh Slaps)

Absolutely enjoyed the dinner here. Amazing very friendly customer service. And food was authentic and tasty. I had the vegetable biryani and paneer tikka masala. Vegetable biryani medium was spicy for me, so I had to get them to change to mild. Paneer tikka masala was really good. My family liked the kaju curry they ordered. Tandoori roti was really good and garlic chilli naan. Gulab jamun is house made, it's great but I would avoid putting coconut powder on top. Overall so happy to have such an authentic Indian taste in Nashville.

I highly recommend House of India if you want fantastic flavorful Indian food. The garlic naan, vegetable Biriyani and Chicken Tika Marsala were the best we've had in Tennessee (and California). The people who work there are very friendly and welcoming.

This is my go to dinner when I stay at the Hilton Garden Inn around the corner. The food is always amazing and the service is great. Most recently I had the House Special Chicken and some Garlic Naan. I paired that with an Indian Sauvignon Blanc.

The service here is always impeccable. We had not eaten here in a while. We actually took it to go this time. There are a lot of Indian restaurants in our neighborhood lucky for us, but I have to tell you that house of India was really I'll step above the rest ! The ingredients were so good sometimes some Indian restaurants have a lot of bones and fat on their meats. This was choice cuts of everything. The sauces were delicious. I will definitely be frequent in here more often. !

My friend and I are visiting in from Texas, and this is the BEST food I have had in weeks. So delicious! I am Vegetarian, so I appreciated so many options. The staff were very friendly and even brought us some dessert rice pudding to try. If ever back in town then this will definitely be on our list to eat at again. Get the Garlic Naan!

Have ordered from House of India and I appreciate their consistency. I've tried the Chicken Korma, garlic Naan, rice, paratha and have enjoyed all except the paratha. No biggie as they have plenty of excellent options.

Good food good service, friendly staff. Bat available. Everything was great. Not sure what else to say.

Best Indian food in TN! So much flavor and spice and the quality is OUTSTANDING you cannot ask for a better meal. Don't go anywhere else this place is amazing! Spicy shrimp tikka masala, best garlic naan I have ever had, and the best samosa I ever had! WOW! House of India should change name to house of delicious!

New Years Eve 23 and no reservations anywhere! But yu want a fantastic meal? Who cares about planning an evening and forethought? Clearly not me this year! Good thing we have House of India to the rescue! Once again - Above and beyond expectations for this gem in the Franklin / Brentwood areas. Ambiance - Traditional indian (but with Linens on the table) and a lot of traditional decorations with some light music in the background making it very quaint and comfortable. Service- Top notch - from the greeting at the door, to being seated right away, and everyone is always anting to make sure you have an amazing experience here. Food- Again, Top notch. From the appetizers and dipping sauces to the main dishes. I have the Chicken Tikka (dry) and my wife had the Chicken Tikka Masala (the sauce is to die for)....Both are excellent and favorite meals here most eery time we visit. The garlin nann is also amazing. Everything about House of India on the menu I am sure stands out...next time Butter Chicken! I also had a King Chakra beer and it was a very good lager and typically I'm only an IPA snob guy,...so theres that! Summary- GO HERE, EAT ALL THE FOOD. LOVE IT Keep Munching!!!

This place is spectacular... great food, ambiance, & service! Highly recommend. I've had Chicken Tikka Masala in many restaurants and this dish was top notch h, so delicious.

The buffet was awesome and I wish I was local to try it again another day. Spice level and flavors were spot on for me. I plan to come back the next time I come through to Nashville.

This has become our favorite restaurant. I think we had only had Indian food once before we came to this restaurant years ago and this has become our favorite go-to. You can't beat the customer service and food.

Decent food, the worst customer service and delivery on earth. I live about 20 minutes away now so have to get it delivered now. Every single time, it is late, rude, and wrong. Please see tonight's photo of 'proof of delivery' - that yellow strip is is not at my apartment, and if you zoom in on the bag, it is NOT from House of India. I called him 5 times - photo below - and he was sitting in my parking lot the whole time ignoring me. When he finally showed up, he pretended he was shocked I called. Really? My food was cold because he sat there so long. In addition, my order, which is the same every time (creature of habit), has been delivered and executed incorrectly 3 of the last 6 times. I have been a regular customer of theirs for the last 3 years. Tonight was my last straw. I love Indian food so much! I want to rave, but this place has disappointed me time and time again. Do not recommend.

Food was delicious! Service was great. Their papadums were perfection!!! The restaurant was clean and we had a great evening!

Amazing flavor. A lot of choices and the servings are large. They box everything up and it is great to snack on for the rest of the week. Service is always very good. They are very helpful if you're not used to Indian food and the spice.

Good and friendly service, but my colleague and I did not enjoy the food too much. I got the lamb rogan Josh and she got some goat dish, along with chili chicken as an app. Chili chicken was over cooked and didn't have a punch. Lamb in the rogan Josh was tender, but the curry itself didn't have a deep flavor you expect from a lamb dish. The goat dish was better than the lamb, but also looked like they added tons of food coloring to it. I'm Indian so I'm probably biased, but unfortunately not my cup of tea. Ambiance was nice though with the decorations and music.

Excellent choice! Our first visit and it's a new favorite! We loved the 4 dishes we ordered and the service was outstanding! We couldn't have enjoyed a family dinner more. Food-5 star Food was quick and delicious-all levels of spiciness are available. My favorites were the butter chicken and lamb vindaloo. The garlic naan was done just right -hot but not dried out. The rice pudding was a perfect end to a great dinner. Service -wish I could give more than 5 stars ! Unbelievably helpful with our choices, all levels of spiciness available. The manager and staff made the whole evening an exceptional experience. Facility 5 - clean, neat, plenty of space, tables and booths available, cloth napkins, adequate parking in front lot Location 5 star -easy to find in a busy shopping area, We will plan to return when we are in town again.

Super kind staff and delicious food. Chutney selection was awesome, the mint chutney was spicy as it should be. I had lamb samosas, vegetable korma, and garlic naan-- all were great. Spice scale was 1-10, I got a 4 which felt accurate. Next time I hope to get there for the lunch buffet.

Everything tastes so plain, there are very few choices, the buffet sauces have virtually no meat and rather than exchanging out the hot tray they just add to it which is not hygienic. The decor is not good and it just feels way too crowded. There is no service beyond drinks as to be expected at a buffet. It's not the worse place but I will never go back.

This is a Franklin GEM! The service is excellent, the food is sooo tasty and the environment feels authentic and classy. The workers are very sweet and even gave me a free dessert. Go do yourself a favor and enjoy the tikki masala with some garlic naan! You won't regret!

The food here is amazing!! I love the chicken biryani with the lowest spice level. The meat samoas are great as well. The food is affordable, but the service is fancy and amazing. Makes you feel like you're at a boujee restaurant without the price tag that comes with that. Very wide variety on the menu as well. We got a complimentary dessert.

I was in town for a week and was looking for a highly rated Indian restaurant. I went with the top pick in House of India and it was great. The staff was attentive, the restaurant was very clean, and the food was awesome. I'm pretty basic with Indian food so ordered the chicken tikka masala both times I went. A very generous serving of rice, a good amount of meat and the naan bread is sliced into several pieces. The food was excellent When I'm in town again I will be coming here 100%

Incredible food and great service! I loved the paneer tikka masala. Would definitely recommen.

The buffet has everything you could want and the service is excellent. One of my favorite things here is the chai tea that is on the buffet service for dine-in patrons. I've had better rice at Indian restaurants but that may just be a personal preference. The restaurant is clean and atmosphere is classy, this is my favorite Indian restaurant in Franklin so I go often.

This resturant is so nice and the food is absolutely to die for. They were so sweet and they even gave us some extra donuts and free drinks for the wait. the resturant is clean and you don't leave smelling of the kitchen or spices (although we wouldn't mind). Worth the visit! :)

First time going there. Excellent selections. Food was tasty. Price was $15.95 plus 9.75% tax. Brentwood is an expensive part of Tennessee. No military discount. Food was delicious and the staff was quite friendly. Would go back.

I was not only impressed with the food, perhaps the Indian food I've ever had, but the service was exceptional. From the time my husband and I walked into the door we were treated as a family, the good kind. I emphatically recommend House of India!

My boyfriend and I were so excited to come here, but were deeply disappointed by the service. From the moment we entered the restaurant to when we asked for the check, we were only checked on once by the owner. We repeatedly had to ask the staff for attention because we kept getting overlooked. People who came in after us received their food before us, which was really frustrating. It took us 20 minutes to find someone to take our order, and then 45 minutes for everything to be served. I hate that our service experience was so bad because the food was delicious. The lamb samosas were delightfully crisp with well seasoned meat. We ordered Chicken Makhani (aka Butter Chicken) and Paneer Karahi with garlic naan on the side. The curries were served with a little candle at the bottom to keep everything hot, which I loved. The naan was so rich with garlic and flavor that it was good enough to eat by itself. Also, as I walked past other groups to go to the bathroom, I noticed that literally every table had Chicken Tikka Masala or Chicken Makhani. I challenge you to try something on the menu you haven't heard of before. I challenge myself that too, but honestly, I'm not sure if I will come back. Maybe I'll just order to go.

It's still good! Service is great and buffet is clean. Food choices are fantastic! Curry is great and fan of their Tikka Masala! Naan bread is good, just ask for some during the lunch buffet. Buffet is great so you can try different options!

Our favorite place to get Indian food! Warm service, great food and wonderful vibes. When you eat in you are welcomed by papadums (I think this is what they're called?) and all the fixings! The food is so scrumptious and I feel the portions are enough for two to share. My partner and I usually split the Marsala and still have some for leftovers. If you're thinking about checking House of India out they do offer a wonderful lunch buffet that way you can get a little taste of everything. Highly recommend :)

Amazing desi chicken bone in. Jaswinder was amazing. He even offered tea for the road at 9:45pm. Amazing service and food was great.

I was very impressed with da House. This evening, my son-in-law and granddaughter joined me in experiencing this fine establishment. We weren't expecting that when we entered the restaurant, we would be welcomed by a gentleman nicely dressed and wearing a tie! I thought, boy, did we blow it. We were in our regular day attire. You know, baggy t-shirt, jeans, and holey tennis shoes. Perfect threads for House of Hot Dogs. But after seeing the staff at House of India decked out in shirts and ties, maybe, just maybe, we may have been a tad underdressed? There were no looks of disgust. At least none from the staff. I did, however, catch a slight look of disdain from the son-in-law. But he knows on which side his bread is buttered. He's a good kid, and he's absolutely aware of who Daddy's little girl is and who's going to foot the bill for this evening of exotic indulgence. Our waiter was very professional and explained the dishes that we had chosen. I was after a good bowl of Mulligatawny soup, and I wasn't disappointed. Perfect. Just as Mom used to make. And considering that my mom was as Caucasian as Caucasian can get, it's no ding on the Houses chef. They both knew their spices. I can't spell the other dishes we ordered, but all were wonderfully seasoned to our liking. I always have interesting dreams after eating Indian food. I wonder what they'll be like tonight. Will I be on a barge floating down the Ganges? Or possibly operating a spinning wheel as Ghandi speaks? With my luck, I'll dream that I'm passed out on the floor of the Taj Mahal. Quick Tip: The staff at the House of India are sharp in their attire. So, don't come dressed as an untouchable.

Great food and probably the best service of any Indian restaurant I've eaten at in the USA. Can't go wrong. Drink prices a bit expensive.

I went on a Friday for the lunch buffet and it was an amazing experience. The food was fresh and the staff were extremely nice and attentive. Price was fair for what was offered. They also made sure I had plenty of naan and didn't run out. I'll continue to come for a while and hope to have similar experiences. Dinner menu prices look a little high - lunch buffet seems like the best way to go.

I was in town from out of town and had an amazing experience. The food was authentic and delicious. I was also impressed with the staff and quality of food. Hope to have the opportunity to come back.

Grest service and food. The owner was able to help with dietary restrictions. Service was very good and we loved everything we ordered.

Restaurants in this area are either full of life or random tables in an empty space with no atmosphere. HOI was full of life, glorious smells, and welcoming. As soon as I walked in the door the gentleman at the cash register welcomed me as though we were old friends. I'm glad I got take out (extremely easy to order on line) as there were many families waiting to be sat. This is the place to be on a Friday night! The huge vegetarian samosas were filling. I quite enjoyed the saag paneer. My favorite was the Lasi. The rose and pistachio flavors permeated through the yogurt drink. It took me three meals to fully eat through my take out order.

Wow, What an amazing experience, me and my family we're taking a stop in Franklin Tennessee after a long 12hr drive. These people were so nice they kept open their restaurant late just for us, most restaurants weren't even answering their phones. By far this is the best Indian vegetarian food I have had. Their Dal Makhani was AMAZING must recommend for any of you who want to try. The quality of this food Dosent even compare to any other restaurant in Franklin if you are stopping here you must try this.

Sooooo good! The lunch buffet is a great way to discover what you like!! So yummy and it's a great atmosphere!

Love love love House of India. First time here, and let me tell you they met any and all expectations. The ambiance is very nice, the dining room is spaced out and the atmosphere is great. The waitresses/waiters were all extremely accommodating and helpful with any questions we had. We came to surprise my mom for her birthday and drove from Huntsville because we had heard of many positive things. The vegetable pakora was delicious, I really liked the cauliflower. The papadum and the different sauces/chutney served as well was perfect. But the main highlight is the entrees. At the table we had a Lamb Rogan Josh Spice level 7, Chicken Tikka Masala spice level 5, and a Chicken Korma spice level 7. We also had garlic naan and garlic chilly naan. Hands down the best Rogan josh and korma I have ever had, the flavors were explosive as the heat was perfect. The garlic chilly naan was such a great addition to the meal. Fluffy and flavorful but crispy almost on the bottom. Heaven. They served the entrees on these little heater warmers which was absolutely amazing so the food doesn't get cold while you are eating. One thing I didn't get a picture of was the rice pudding at the end of the meal, they offered it to us and it was so light and refreshing and just the perfect amount of sweetness. I will definitely make trips just to have House of India, it really was exceptional and would gladly drive an hour or so for the Korma and Naan.

The food and service were outstanding. We had the chicken tikka masala and garlic Naan. The flavors were so good. We were discussing the spices in the dish with our server; he was very engaging. He discussed the recipe with us. Very enjoyable experience.

That was so shocking. Ordered lamb korma from here last night, 16 Sept, 2023 and got the food with a drawing of a ... on it. Totally shocked and disappointed. Will never order from here again.

Fantastic food and amazing people! We've visited Indian restaurants every where and this one at the top of my list!

Flavorful and plentiful food, attentive staff, a great place to stop for dinner. Highly recommend.

Amazing flavors & service. Favorite out of every Indian restaurant I've been to. Better than the SF Bay Area restaurants, which is home to about 1 million Indians. I hope the owner thrives here.

Found this yummy place on Yelp and I definitely recommend it!!! Will definitely come back cause it has a buffet so you can try many things!! If you want true authentic Indian food you have to come here !! Service was really nice and very friendly. The ambience was pleasant and aesthetically pleasing !! It's a very friendly place ! They even let us take home the leftover naan bread !!

LOVE House of India. Best in Franklin! We've tried several other restaurants in our area, but find that there is just something extra special about this place. They bend over backwards, making sure you are happy. Fantastic service.

Service is always amazing and we love the food! I'm basic and stick to the chicken tikka but you can't go wrong with it! This will always be my go to Indian in Cool Springs! Edited- we were waiting on a to go naan for about 20 minutes, no big deal, we just had to follow up on it. While we were waiting I decided to leave a 5 star review but as soon as we got our to go naan- the server told us to get up as they were busy and needed to seat someone else. It was super rude and tainted the entire experience. Dropping my stars to 3 for this rudeness. Food is still a 5.

I was visiting the area from out of Atlanta. I found this restaurant near my hotel. I stopped in for dinner and found the place to be exceptionally clean and well appointed like a fine dining restaurant but with reasonable prices. All the restaurant employees were well dressed with a very professional mannerisms. The food was the very best Indian that I've ever had. I would recommend this to anyone interested in authentic Indian cuisine. He will not be disappointed.
