On Hàng Hòm, a narrow lane threading through Hoan Kiem's Old Quarter, Grills & Gravy has built one of Hanoi's stronger reputations for Indian cooking — 2,332 Google reviews at 4.6 stars places it well above the noise of tourist-strip restaurants that cluster nearby. The name signals the kitchen's focus: grilled proteins and slow-cooked gravies, the kind of cooking that requires real technique and sourced spice rather than shortcuts.
Hoan Kiem draws a mix of long-term expats, Indian travelers, and Hanoians curious about subcontinental food, and Grills & Gravy appears to serve all three without diluting its identity toward any one group. That consistency — rare on a street where menus shift to chase whoever walked in last — likely explains the review volume.
The Old Quarter setting means tight spaces and street-level noise, but the trade-off is proximity to the lake, the night market, and the dense accommodation belt that keeps foot traffic steady year-round. For visitors staying in Hoan Kiem who want a break from pho and bun cha, or for the Indian community in Hanoi seeking familiar flavors, the restaurant functions as a reliable anchor rather than an occasional experiment.

I had the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan, and everything was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, the chicken was tender, and the garlic naan was fresh and perfectly cooked. The staff were friendly, and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely come back!
Great place with a bunch of options depending on what you’re looking for. Food is well-seasoned and hearty and very worth the price. Come hungry because it will make you full!
The food at Grill and Gravy Indian Restaurant is really tasty and delicious, with excellent quality and generous portions that leave you satisfied! They need to uplift the interior to attract even more people, as the ambiance could use a fresh upgrade to match the outstanding food. Overall, a great spot for authentic Indian flavors in Hanoi—highly recommend trying the curries and grilled items!
Grills & Gravy Indian Restaurant in Hanoi turned out to be an excellent choice for lunch. I found this place through a Google search, and what convinced me to try it was the high number of positive reviews compared to other Indian restaurants in the area. Since I was craving authentic Indian flavors, I decided to give it a shot. The food here is genuinely delicious, with flavors that taste exactly like what you’d get in India. I ordered Dal Tadka, Paneer Butter Masala, Jeera Rice, and Garlic Naan for two people, and the portion sizes were more than generous. Even if you have a big appetite, you’ll be satisfied. A special mention for the Garlic Naan—it’s massive! One naan is easily enough for two people, which was a pleasant surprise. The richness of flavors and perfect balance of spices made the meal even more enjoyable. The restaurant itself has a welcoming vibe, and the service was prompt and friendly. The staff was attentive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. On average, expect to spend around 150K VND per person, which is quite reasonable for the portion sizes and quality of food they serve. If you’re looking for truly authentic Indian food in Hanoi, this place is a no-brainer. The taste, portion sizes, and overall dining experience make it a must-visit for anyone missing home-style Indian flavors. Highly recommended!
Food here is absolutely delicious! We couldn't believe that it was even a notch up from our favourite Indian restaurant in Perth, Western Australia. Fairly low key ambience but if you're after bloody good food at a decent cost, beers are well priced too, you can't go past this place. Great service, friendly and helpful. 10/10!!
