New Mexico is well known for its food. New Mexican cuisine is traditionally known for its fusion of Pueblo Native American cuisine, Hispano cuisine, and Mexican cuisine, but New Mexico is also well known for its many diverse restaurants. India House, located on Cerrillos Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico is one of those spots, where you can get a taste of India right in your backyard.
Although India House may look unassuming from the outside, it is anything but. India House utilizes a tandoor, which is a tall cylindrical charcoal oven. This Tandoor is how India House makes such delicious meats for you.
The India House menu is filled with crowd favorites, starting with appetizers like tandoori chicken wings and paneer pakoras, all the way to lamb, goat, seafood, and vegetables.
As you make your way down the buffet line, you'll have trouble fitting all the delicious items you'll want to try on your plate. You'll definitely want to go back for seconds!
All of India House's meats are tenderized in a yogurt, garlic, turmeric, and garam masala mixture before going into the tandoor, giving them an excellent deep taste.
Chef Kewal Singh Dhindsa is the head chef at India House. He settled in Santa Fe after cooking in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and the Caribbean, and has consistently been voted "best Indian restaurant in New Mexico."

India House is one of those gems that once you try it, you won’t believe you have been missing out for so long. Check out the restaurant’s official website and let us know what your favorite dish was.
