Indian Restaurants in Sharm El Sheikh

If you’re craving Indian food while in Sharm El Sheikh, you’re in luck. There’s a small but solid scene here that locals and expats keep coming back to. You won’t find dozens of options, but the ones that exist usually nail the balance between authentic and adapted for local tastes.

For instance, Masala House near Hadaba is a fave of mine. The chicken tikka masala there is rich but not overly spicy, and their garlic naan is often the last thing on my plate. And don’t miss the chaat if you get a chance , a refreshing break from the usual Mediterranean fare. The vibe is relaxed, nothing fancy, and the staff are usually more than happy to explain the menu if you’re unsure.

Another spot I like is Krishna Indian in Naama Bay. It’s a bit pricier, but you get solid portions and a range of dishes from different regions of India. I usually go for the lamb rogan josh. If you’re visiting during the hotter months, try to grab a table in the evening when it’s cooler outside. Just a heads up, some Indian places close earlier than you might expect, so plan to eat a bit before the main dinner rush around 8 pm.

Pro tip: Indian food can be heavy, so pairing your meal with fresh mango lassi or a minty yogurt drink helps a lot. Also, keep an eye out for specials on weekends. It’s a great way to try something new without breaking the bank.
