This fantastic Indian restaurant just gets everything right. Great, unique concept of putting salad, entree, rice and vegetables all on one big plate, making tasting and sharing easy and fun. Top-notch ingredients, beautiful presentation, fresh, hot, wonderful. Service is impeccable. Restaurant is gorgeous, no expense spared. Atmosphere is warm and comfortable. Price may be a little high, considering all the options in Las Vegas. But you will be full, happy, satisfied, and most likely, you will be writing a five-star review like I am and telling your friends all about it. Highly recommended.

Pros: Great Indian cuisine

Cons: absolutely none

I have been to every Indian restaurant in Las Vegas as well as in many other cities and OriginIndia is by far the best. The dishes are innovated with a modern twist, healthy and the service is friendly yet professional and always knowledgeable. If you are visiting Las Vegas or are a local I highly recommend this hidden jewel of the dessert, be brave and adventurous, Indian food is extremely comforting and so very delicious. They also cater to parties of all sizes and can house as many as 600 for private luncheons and diners. Enjoy!!!

Pros: Ambience, parking, healthy and delightful cuisine, first-rate knowledgeable service, price per person

Cons: No complaints, this restaurant is a gem!

Cheers to : a) Location - Very close to the heart of the Las Vegas Strip. b) Decor - wonderful ambiance and decor. c) Service - Stellar. d) Presentation - fab. Now onto the food : We tried the full meal sampler that was $70 for two. We started off with the Mulligatawny soup which was a tad too salty. Then the hightlight of our meal - the chicken mint and lamb boti kabab. One word describes it - perfect. Just the right mix of spices and the chicken and lamb grilled items were very tender. The Southern Grill fish was slightly on the bland side but very fresh and the Kodi Vepudu was definitely an acquired taste. The lamb Biryani was not all that impressive and the chicken makhani and dal were good but not spectacular. Ras Malai was excessively sweet and the halwa was not exceptional. The pistachio ice cream (kulfi) was superb. I would recommend this restaurant because of its decor, ambience, location (very close to the strip) and service but with a caveat - stick to the tandoori (grill) items because these are surefire winners. The other stuff is touch and go (imho). Overall, perhaps I walked in with high expectations but some of the items on the sampler menu fell short of expectations; especially given the menu prices !

Pros: Ambience, Location, Parking, Service, Grill

Cons: Food not exceptional given price

Another great spot in Vegas!!! Try the chicken mahkni and the eggplant appetizer. They are both lovely and the chicken has the perfect amount of spice... The staff was very friendly and the space is very well done. Nice ambience. It was empty though, which I found surprising. Maybe people are still catchin on to Indian food here? It was great great great, and I highly recommend it!

Pros: great spicy food

The best restaurant in town. Since the opening over a year ago - we haven't been to any other indian place. The food is just too good. They have just rolled out a new menu and I highly recommend you try some of the new selections. We can't get enough of this place.

Pros: Food

Cons: Bar Stools too short

I have been eating at Origin India for several weeks now, and the food is always amazing. Recently with the kebab festival going on, we just couldn't get enough. Friday nights are a great spot for dancing and socializing. If you are open to new food or just want to try a nice restaurant this place is definitely for you.

Pros: Food, close to strip, service

Cons: none that I can think of

My wife and I decided to try Origin India after we have heard several good reviews. We were definitely impressed. The food was amazing. My vegetarian wife had several delcious choices. Highly recommend the potato appetizer. I was thoroughly impressed with the kebab menu. The lamb selection was out of this world. The bar is a little small, but the drinks were definitely not short on flavor. The location is central across from the Hard Rock. Highly recommended.

Pros: Food, location, service

Cons: small bar

My boy friend and I were visiting from San Diego and were told to check this place out. It was amazing. I tried a potato vegetarian dish and my boy friend tried one of the lamb dishes. Both were excellent. The service was very friendly and helpful. They also offered for us to try these wonderful mango martini's. We were very happy with the whole experience and wish there was one of these in San Diego.

Pros: Food, Service

Cons: We live too far :(

Revised to reflect (3) 12/07 visits: 1) We were served housemade papadum with mint and tamarind sauces followed by a complimentary sweet potato salad that managed to be both spicy and cooling. My wife ordered the lamb chop masala - small tender chops that had been cooked in masala sauce. My entrée was chicken makhani, aka butter chicken, - melt-in-your mouth pieces of chicken cooked in a creamy tomato sauce. Both entrees included basmati rice, a black lentil dipping sauce, naan and an unadorned salad. I signed up online for the restaurant’s VIP club and used a 2/1 entrée coupon that was emailed to me shortly before we departed for this trip. 2) We were the only customers this Saturday afternoon so I suspect luncheon hours may be curtailed in the future. We each ordered chicken kebab roll – grilled tandoor chicken wrapped in a Romali roll. Lunches include a choice of ice tea or soda, we chose the ice tea. The flavor was truly amazing, but the amount of food was more than we needed. The cost of the meal is net of a $10 coupon received after I provided feedback on our experience in September. 3) We were served complimentary papadum with mint and tamarind sauces. Orders of chicken Chettinad - boneless thigh pieces cooked with pounded southern spices with a hint of coconut and lamb Rajwari - boneless lamb cooked with spices, tomatoes, yogurt and a touch of cashew. Both dishes included a vegetable dish, naan, rice and salad. We used a printable 2/1 coupon that had been emailed to members of the restaurant’s VIP club)

Pros: Beautiful decor and food

Cons: none
