Today was our first, but definitely not our last, lunch at Destination India. The restaurant is clean, and the service was extremely welcoming! Our server was not only friendly and pleasant but offered whatever assistance we needed with the menu and even explained that the menu was not all inclusive so if a diner requests something that isn't specifically on the menu, they will gladly prepare it, if possible.The food is delicious, came to the table hot, and the serving sizes are generous. The nan was fresh and baked just right! Since I don't eat meat, I was particularly delighted with the vegetarian options and there were several dishes that my husband was interested in trying. We both enjoyed our selections and plan to return to continue trying other dishes in the future.I highly recommend Destination India!

Great first time experience for my friends and I. The staff were friendly, and very willing to answer any questions I had. My friends and I had a delicious and filling meal that left us craving more. Half of us are vegetarian and half are omnivores, and on all fronts they impressed. The Naan was great, I've never seen so many Naan flavors.

My mom and I just moved to Derry and we decided to try some Indian food downtown. This place was awesome. The staff was very friendly and professional. And the food had great flavour. The staff made sure it was made just how we like it. We will definitely be coming again.

Finally stopped in to try this Indian restaurant near my home. Glad I did! The food was delicious. They even made a lamb biryani dish for me that was not on the menu. The food was fresh, large portions and the owner/chef came out to chat and make sure all was to my liking. His bartender was also sweet and made a nice cocktail. I'll be back for sure.

Fun atmosphere and great service! We love Indian food and exploring new restaurants so we had to give this a try. The food was good, not out all time favorite though. The drinks where fairly small and mostly fully of ice but definitely full of flavor!

I would recommend Destination India to anyone looking for quality, delicious, Indian cuisine. The space is soothing and comfortable, with a great bar top area. They have an excellent selection of beers including Rising Tide, Founders, 603, etc. The food always exceeds my expectations, and the staff is nothing short of exceptional. 10/10.

We get our craving for Indian once a month or so and since destination India delivers it's an easy choice. Not only is that super convenient, it's the hands down best Indian cuisine in the whole area, Manchester included. I just wish they had more Saag choices. Wife doesn't like the lamb but I think it's great. Everything is consistent and delicious.

We absolutely love this restaurant! Amazing food and if you want spice… they’ve got the authentic thing, but you can still dial it back if needed. It’s perfect!

First experience here for take out food, it was on time to the minute. We tried several different items and it was spectacular. Hot and fresh. We will be going back in the future to try many more of their dishes.

Hands down the best ethnic food in the area, of all types. Every dish we've tried has been amazing. Always hot, fresh, and cooked with pride. So glad we found this awesome place!

Destination India is a diamond in the rough. There aren't many exceptional restaurants in the close proximity in my opinion, but this place definitely fits the bill. I've eaten in and done take out as well. Every dish I get is fresh and the flavors are on point. Also the people who run it and work there are kind and professional so you get amazing service.

This is the best Indian food you’ll find in the area! Were British and moved here 10 years ago. We miss nothing more than good Indian food (Englands #1 take out and eat out food!)Thankfully someone recommended this place after we’d tried a few others in New Hampshire, and it’s so pleasing to report the food is phenomenal, the service is great, good selection of drinks and above all the place is clean and welcoming unlike many run down Indian restaurants!Keep up the great work guys, will see you soon.

I've been eating Indian food for years and was excited to try this place that just opened up in my home town. I'm very impressed with the service, quantity of food and amazing flavor. I decided to talk my boyfriend into trying it as he was a little skeptical but gave it a shotHe absolutely loves it now and I'm happy he does so now we can come here more often.Destination India,I have to say I'm very intrigued with the spices you add to your dishes.. thank you for your great service !

I am not well-versed in Indian Food or culture, and I was nervous to try Indian food for the first time. I move to Derry in March 2021 and learn of an Indian restaurant within walking distance of my house.After work one day where my coworkers were discussing Indian food, I decide to stop in for dinner on a whim, and absolutely loved it! I was open with the staff and admitted I didn't know what I was doing and if they could guide me through the menu. Without hesitation, the waitress/hostess and bartender were eager to help me! I felt an overwhelming sense of pride for the food , which gave me comfort and that's when I knew I'd like this place.Now it is one of my favorite places to grab a delicious top-tier meal, packed with delicious flavors that I never knew existed. Without question, my favorite items they offer are the Malai Kabab cooked in their Tandoori oven, cheese naan bread, mango kulfi, and Gulab Jamun (pictured). If you want some consistently amazing and flavorful Indian food, or want to try it for the first time but are nervous, you need to go to Destination India!

Best Indian restaurant I have tried in a long time. Being Indian and a cooking enthusiast, I often get disappointed when eating at Indian restaurants. This one was an exception. The food is very delicious. Lamb saag is my favorite. The staff is very courteous and the Chef came out to talk to us. They will also make anything that is not on the menu, if you tell them in advance. Very happy support this restaurant.

I was a little nervous about a 4.9 restaurant, because a 4.9 or 5 is usually achieved through fake reviews. BUT my friends and I went anyway. The 4.9 was definitely earned. The food was excellent. A little pricey, but honestly worth it. The staff was nice and attentive as well. Cant wait to go again.

My family and I have been wanting to go here for a while, and we were not disappointed when we did! The workers are so nice and the food is a whole other story! You really get all of the flavors melting on their tongue. They are quick to bring your food out, and the food itself is better than I could ever describe! 10/10

I tried this place when it first opened and wasn't a fan, but ended up eating there a few more times and now it's one of my favorite Indian spots. I've had a few different kinds of curry and naan and they were all fantastic. Drinks taste very strong whenever I get them... whether that's a plus is up to you.

Well priced, tasty food.If you like Indian food, but you’re not a big fan of spicy food, you have a choice from mild to super spicy. The young lady Mega who works there is very nice, polite, and took good care of my girlfriend and I.

Delicious food at great prices and located in a fantastic area! I wish I'd see more people enjoying their dine-in location as it is filled with mouth-drooling smells and has a very nice atmosphere. But what's important is that the food is 11/10 good!!!

Our second meal at Destination India. Ordered take out when they first opened, dined in last night. Being a Brit living in the U.S for over 12 years it’s been hard to find the quality Indian food we are accustomed to, look no further this is the place!Excellent!! We will be back, only negative is you’ve got to have Indian beer with a curry…… please.

First time for us. You know a restaurant is good when on a Tuesday night at 5:30, almost every table is filled. Simply outstanding food. We tried apps, chicken and lamb entrees, breads, and dessert. Everything was fresh and delicious. Highly recommend.

I dined here last night, accompanied by my mother and a few other family members. The atmosphere was beautiful and eye-catching, the amber string lights that glow in the front windows set the mood perfectly. The staff were more than pleasant- extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and made us feel oh so welcomed. When it came time to eat, the food was presented quickly and tasted astounding! I've had Indian food many a time, but this was next level. The perfect amount and just spicy enough. (you can let them know the level of spice) This was a magnificent dining experience and I would absolutely be returning- and soon!

We ordered take out and it was the best experience. From the super sweet guy on the phone helping me correct my butchered pronunciation to the fabulous food. Which hot had people sweating in a good way and made us wonder about Indian spicy? I had wished the online order had a pay in person option but speaking to the restaurant to place the order did not make me hate that it wasn't there in the end. Again amazing food. Can't wait to visit our friends again and get more from Destination India.

I came up from DC to visit family and had to make sure I stopped at Destination India after I'd heard so many rave reviews about it. The staff is friendly and attentive, the food is good, and the atmosphere comfortable. Admittedly, I've had Indian food in the DC area that I found slightly better, but love that folks in Derry now have easy access to really solid Indian food. We ordered our lunch medium spicy, which I felt was a fair description of what we got (as an avid hot food lover -- pass me some of that Last Dab!). The flavors were great, and I'd definitely recommend DI for anyone looking to introduce themselves to Indian cuisine. Looks like they had a great bar selection, too!

Tried this place for the first time a month ago and have been back 3 times already! Caring and attentive staff, warm and inviting. The food is absolutely delicious, best curry I’ve had in a long time. Love the naan bread options. They also adjust each dish based on personal preference, you can have a mild, medium or very spicy meal pending on your mood and taste buds. If you haven’t been here it’s a must add to your list! Looking forward to eating here on a regular basis.

We have had nothing but wonderful experiences with this brand new restaurant in Derry, NH! We started with Door Dash delivery and we were not sure what to expect....but, it was ALL so good! We have since ordered online twice more for ourselves and picked up at the restaurant....and I have also ordered for friends who had just returned from a year in the Middle East and had Door Dash deliver to them! They loved their meals as well! The owners are so wonderfully friendly and attentive to the customers needs as well! All their ingredients are fresh! Never canned or frozen! Highly recommend! Ps. We like ours on the mild side....and our Indian friends like theirs “Indian Spicy” we were ALL pleased with our “spice levels”!

Very happy with this restaurant, friendly staff and great food, BUT I have one suggestion for improvement: My husband ordered the Tandoori Lamb, the pieces were different sizes. The smaller ones were dry and tough (overcooked) while the larger ones were tender. An easy way to fix this is to use the same size pieces for each order (large or small), so that the cooking time is the same and none are burnt. Will be back.

What a treat to have this wonderful new restaurant in nearby Derry, NH! My wife and I dined here for the first time last night and we will definitely be back. I think it may be my new favorite restaurant, period. From the “cauliflower 65” appetizer to the coconut shrimp curry to the tandoori chicken to the cheese naan, everything was delicious and prepared to perfection. And the service from beginning to end was simply outstanding. I can’t recommend Destination India highly enough! Well done!

Its been really tough finding good Indian food nearby, but now that we have some in downtown, I’m so happy! The food is great and they have lots of genuine choices - particularly happy with all of the vegetarian options. Would highly recommend giving them a go

My brother and I went to Destination India this evening. Great selection on the menu, beautiful atmosphere, and the most polite staff. When I mentioned that the mild house spice had a little bite to it, our waiter brought me one of their smoothies to ease my palette. And, OMG, it was like magic, the smoothie took the spice away instantly. It was so great!! We definitely will be returning and recommending it to our friends and family. 🙂

I have ordered delivery three times before but this was the first time I got to eat at the restaurant. The food there is absolutely amazing. For many years I have had to travel to Boston to find great Indian food now it’s just down the street? Personally I like my food spicy and they make it just the way I like but if that is not your thing they will make it milder and the flavor will still be the same. Give it a try, you will love it.

Food and service are amazing we got the coconut curry mussel appetizer which was big enough to be a meal. I couldn't get enough of that broth! I got the goat curry .... delicious! And my husband got the lamb saag ..... if possible, even.more delicious! They're doing a huge takeout business so apparently the word is out. Highly recommend!
