Explore and be mesmerized...

Let us take you to a culinary adventure at the India House, a showcase of the finest authentic Indian dishes. We are proud to be the first Indian restaurant to open in Pioneer valley. We have been in Northampton under the same management and location since 1984.

We specialize in North-Indian cuisine with an exciting array of elegant dishes using only our own home cooked recipes to ensure the taste that we have been savoring since our childhoods. We are delighted to bring you the same passion that we share for our food in our fine dining home. Your hosts, Alka and Omi Kanoujia, extend you a personal invitation to join them at the India House to experience Indian food and hospitality at its best.

Our most unique feature is that we enjoy entertaining our guests and we are delighted to explain the way a dish is cooked, the pairing of bread, or how it is best spiced… even the way it is properly pronounced. ("CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA" not the popular version " CHICKEN TIKKI MARSALA".) Our purpose is not just serving the food but enhancing and broadening your experience with the finest that Indian food has to offer. So, don't be afraid; come in and be mesmerized by enticing flavors for your creative palates.

"India House"…. like walking into a beautiful home with all the fine trimmings of Jaipuri art work… handsomely carved wooden chairs, matching tables with brass and copper inlays… imported and custom-made (just like our dishes) straight from India.

Let the tantalizing aromas arising from the sizzling Salmon, Tandoori Chicken and Lamb Kababs dominant your senses. Watch them as they appear before you, grilled to perfection served over a bed of caramelized onions and bell peppers.

Indian food is not just yellow curry; the most common misconception is "there is curry in this dish". On the contrary, it is a flavorful blend of spices and fresh herbs carefully crafted together in a perfect marriage.

In addition to these robust curries, we offer Biryani a lavish banquet dish consisting of the finest long grain basmati rice, tossed with a mixture of herbs and spices, vegetables and meats, cashews and raisins.

Following India's long vegetarian tradition, we have an extensive vegetarian and Vegan selection with panache for using our favorite family recipes.

Our whole menu is tailored to suit your palate. Whether it is Atkins or Seafood, sizzling or saucy, a spice or a special dietary need, our carefully crafted menu will accommodate your desire.

In addition to fine authentic dishes we serve Beer and Wine, yummy yogurt sippers, gift certificates and our special attention.
