Star Of India Restaurant 302-738-2919

Newark, DE 19711


An inexpensive restaurant specializing in take-out, lunch buffet, and dinner. A wide variety of Indian restaurant standards and some unique items as well. Dinners can be ordered mild, medium, or spicy. More than 15 vegetarian dishes. Located next to the University of Delaware, they've moved to what used to be Bombay Palace/Mirage accross from Pizza Hut (near The Trap restaruant).

Delicious food makes it worthwhile! Nov 2nd, 2005
Star of India is my favorite restaurant in Newark. The food is delicious, especially anything tikka masala! I have enjoyed the food at least once a month for several years now. The restaurant is quiet and usually uncrowded. The service is admittedly not so great - you will wait a long time, and you may have to get up and look for the waitress to get a refill on water - but the food makes it worthwhile.

Good food, bad place Oct 17th, 2005
I completely agree with Bob that this place is in decline. The food is actually the best North Indian food in Delaware but the place is in shambles. If only they'd spend some time and money to renovate the place!

Don't waste your time! Jan 9th, 2005
Was told it would only be 1/2 hr when I called in takeout order, but when I got there they made me wait another 40 mins! They wouldn't let me cancel or have refund, manager was rude! Food was packed in a flimsy paper bag... heavy food was put on top so it squashed the bottom food & leaked sauce all over the place. It made the bag rip & food fell upside down on ground - ruined!

The Chef is home, but is anyone running the place? Dec 19th, 2004
This restaurant seems in decay/decline. But perhaps it was always this way. Your first greeted upon entry by plastic plants that have somehow died and the wall remains of what was once clearly a payphone. Press on a little further and you will see a large fairly nice looking bar, that to get to you will have to step around a large broken fountain, replete with extension cord piled on top. Look around the rest of the entry way and there are two couches with blankets and a space heater--does someone live there? Could they at least have "made" their couch and put the blankets away before serving dinner? Really, the place looks untended, unclean or broken, depending upon where you glance.

Our waitress asked us about drinks, but she was only teasing. The aforementioned bar does not include a bartender, apparently. The only drink the waitress could make was "maybe vodka and coke?". We declined and ordered some wine, thinking it safer. After bringing out the wrong appetizer, the waitress then proceeded to bring the correct one, but could not conceal her outright annoyance at us for the rest of the meal. We ordered "Tandoori Assorted Appetizers" which were served in a sizzling hot skillet and surprisingly good. For entres, both the Lamb Korma and Chicken Vindaloo were excellent. Water glasses were regularly refilled, but not much else in the way of service. Dinner was only $38.

Good food, but I doubt we'd ever visit again. I would recommend the owners spend a few hours and dollars to clear the clutter and broken things, replace some light bulbs and clean the floors. A bizzare experience.
