Baltimore, MDIndian

Peerce's places Royal Indian cooking in a restored stone building beside the Loch Raven Reservoir. The dining room suits a lingering meal of kebabs, curries, biryani, breads, and composed seafood or meat plates. Its rural Baltimore County setting and polished service give the menu a distinct sense of occasion without losing the warmth of family hospitality.

Royal Taj serves Indian classics in a Columbia dining room with chandeliers, upholstered chairs, and a marble bar. Tikka masala, lamb roganjosh, tandoor dishes, and vegetarian or vegan choices give the menu breadth. The service and setting make a meal here feel generous and deliberate.

Sangam gives South Indian cooking meaningful space alongside northern dishes and Indo-Chinese plates. Dosas, appam, biryani, peppery soups, curries, and tandoor preparations create a menu with real range. The Ellicott City location is especially useful for diners who want to move beyond a standard curry order and compare several regional textures.

Mirchi's Woodlawn kitchen crosses northern and southern Indian traditions without reducing either to a token section. Guests can pair dosas and regional rice dishes with kebabs, breads, rich gravies, and street-food snacks. The menu rewards a group willing to order widely, especially when crisp, fermented, grilled, and slow-cooked dishes share the table.

India Tandoor cooks from the back of a Remington convenience store, with pickup and delivery in place of a dining room. The family kitchen makes chicken biryani, garlic naan, paneer and masala stews, and meats smoked in a tandoor. The storefront has no restaurant sign, so the Huntingdon Avenue address matters when seeking out its Indian cooking.
