I don't understand how people think this food is too spicy. We have to beg and plead for extra spicy and often it still isn't spicy enough. I mean, we're sweating, but we're not on fire. We're talking give me Lamb Vindaloo extra, extra, extra, extra spicy but still make it taste good not like a pile of dirt kind of heat. It's possible, but someone really has to understand heat to get it right.
Regardless, the flavor is always amazing for the most part. A vanilla Vindaloo is the only item on the menu that packs any real heat. Often I'll take Korma when we just want something calm and eat-every-last-drop delicious. I'm take it or leave it on the oven items. They are ok, but I've had experiences with dry meat.
The bread is always a huge hit with the table.
The atmosphere and crowds have never brought our experience down. It's family friendly and romantic. The servers are usually good, but sometimes they can be a little slow. It really depends on the crowd.
You really should try it. However, if the thought of a couple shakes of black pepper on your morning eggs turns you off as too spicy, then you might not be a good fit for this restaurant. You will definitely be coming to yelp complaining of your mouth burning because you haven't had any spice since that one time you had bad experience with spicy Cheetos in the third grade.
P.S. The lunch buffet is terrible. I rate that 2 out of 5. -

I recently went there for lunch while visiting Harrisburg. I had eaten there years earlier as well during another trip.
This time however, what a disappointment.
Yeah the service was good, yeah the decor was good, yeah the place was packed (signaling its popularity).
But, the food was outright disgusting. Potatoes weren't cooked properly, Cauliflower was half raw. And much much more. If the food had any taste, those flaws could've have been overlooked. But, non of the food had any taste to them at all. I mean, we had to put chutneys and chilly pepper from the salad area to add some taste to the food.
I don't understand how everyone loves this place so much.
I felt really embarrassed for taking along my friends and family this time as well. -

My boyfriend and I ate here the other night. It was amazing! The view, the service, the atmosphere.... Just perfect. This restaurant lives up to all the awards that it has received (which is many!) we enjoyed it so much that we're going back on valentine's day and I can't wait. Highly recommend this place!

Now I am no stranger to Indian food. After trying the other two Indian restaurants in the area, passage to India is by far the best. Authentic Indian food with something for everyone! I love spicy food but my wife can only eat mild. This was not even a problem. After eating here, I don't think I'm ever going to get better Indian food unless I actually go to India. Plus the riverfront view while dining was incredible. A definite must

Food very good. Tasteful vegetarian dishes and nice chicken dishes for kids. We came at closing time but they still let us sit and eat and did not rush us. Only Indian restaurant I like to eat at in pa. Beautiful indian decorations to look at while eating.

So......totally random spot for an Indian restaurant. Adjacent to the Comfort Inn pool?!?! Very bizzarre. I mean, the decor inside the restaurant was incredible; lovely colors, great lighting, tons of awards hanging on the walls...but then you sit and look outside to see a handful of kids splashing around in the pool, and a group of delinquent -looking bachelors drinking beers and smoking next to their cooler. It's an odd scene...
BUT, that is not why you come to Passage to India. You come here for the food (which is DELICIOUS)!!! I came here with a fairly large group (8 people), and we ordered up a ton of food to share. And for the most part it was fabulous! The chicken tikki masala? wonderful! The shrimp/ lamb vindaloos? spicy, but not overpowering! The chicken korma? yum-tastic! My only complaint food-wise would be the mango chicken I ordered. The chicken breast was dry on the inside and the sauce was too sweet.
The rice and the naan bread here are also amazing. The rice has saffron and bay leaves and probably a ton of other spices I have yet to define. It was sooo flavorful and still complimented the curries well. But my all-time favorite Indian food is perhaps NAAN bread, And Passage to India makes incredible naan bread. It's both soft and crispy, and loaded with goodness. I ordered garlic naan, which was great, and also tried the passage naan, which had raisins and nuts in it.....wow, what a treat!
The service here was okay, nothing to complain about, but also nothing to write home about.
*Tip* - the entrance to this restaurant is hard to find. It's right off of Rice Street, before you enter all the Freeways from Front Street.....Googlemap it first! -

This is my favorite Indian place in the area. I've been here for dinner many times and for the lunch buffet once. Oh, and if you sign up for their emails they don't spam you, just send out a coupon probably once every two months.
Setting: Great location in downtown Harrisburg, large place - I've never had to wait for a table, great view of the Susquehanna river
Service: Excellent, attentive
Food: The food is awesome. Between my boyfriend and I we've tried probably all of the vegetarian and chicken dishes on the menu - they won't let you down. My favorite entree would probably either be the chicken korma or the mutter paneer. The vegetable samosas and vegetable pakora are great appetizers if you're in the mood for something fried. -

Great Indian restaurant! Hubby and I are huge fans of Indian food, and this is probably the best place in Central PA. We've always had just amazing food, great service, wonderful drinks. Yeah, the location is a little strange, but at least it's easy to get to! Am in love with their mango chicken and Passage naan. Great food!

Hands down the best Indian restaurant in Harrisburg. The food is excellent and very reasonably priced. The staff is friendly, courteous and attentive. I have never had a bad meal or bad service. This is truly a place where you come as a guest and leave as a friend.

Wasn't sure what to expect from an Indian restaurant in The 'Burg but was pleasantly surprised by this place. It was a bit weird to find and a potentially-stunning view of the Susquehanna is compromised by the Comfort Inn's pool and its gaggle of swimmers in the foreground. The atmosphere is otherwise quite elegant. Always particular about our Indian, my wife and I stuck with our standard go-to options, chicken tikka masala and chicken korma respectively. and both passed the test with flying colors. The samosas were tasty and filling enough but the service was a bit slow and inattentive. However,overall Passage to India is good enough that we plan to go back to sample their other fare.

We went here on a friends recommendation. He told us the food was great but more over the service was incredible! Then his wife took me aside and whispered "well, we get great service because they know us. I don't know if they treat everyone that way". And so I pass on to you my fellow yelpers this bit of info...they don't. Upon entering the restaurant we were quickly passed off to a table with barley a hello. I can deal with a little rudeness but what followed was ridiculous. It started when I asked the waiter which soup he recommended. It is important for me to note that we have never been to an Indian restaurant before. He impatiently responded "Whatever you want is good". Well, I don't KNOW what I want because this food is unfamiliar Sherlock! A little stunned by his response I just ordered the soup listed first and hoped for the best. As we were waiting for our soup he dropped off a tray of what looked like sauces. He then quickly darted away. When he came back to drop off our soup I asked him what the sauces were and how best to use them. He started walking away and called back over his shoulder "just put them on your appetizers or whatever". I called back "this is our first time here can you help?" but he either just ignored me or did not hear me. Btw, its not like the restaurant was crowded. He certainly could have spared a moment or two to explain some of the food we were getting. Another waiter delivered our entree and seemed annoyed that we had so many little dishes that needed to be bused and he could not figure out where to place our entrees. I literally felt like I was supposed to help him clear off the table or something! Like it was our fault there was not enough room on the table! We were then pretty much ignored for the remainder of our meal. No water refills, no one asked if we were doing okay. The only time we got a smile was when the hostess brought our check over. Btw, the food was okay. Certainly not good enough to be worth enduring that type of rudeness. I am not asking to be treated like a queen but I do expect to be treated with some gratitude for picking your restaurant as a place to spend my hard earned money. Saving this treatment for only the "regulars" seems quite shortsighted, particularly in these hard economic times.

My company recently used this place for an event and the team there went above and beyond to make sure every conveivable detail of our event was taken care of. I had set aside an entire work day to be on site and help set up but they anticpated pretty much every need I had and when I got there everything was perfect. They accomodated special menu requests and even brought me snacks and drinks before the event while I was working. The food is delicous and the prices are great but what really sets this venue apart is the customer service. In my time there I met the manager and the owner. They both spoke to me for a while and I saw them spending time with other customers so it seems like every visitor (whether you are renting out their banquet hall or just getting dinner with your family) gets the special treatment. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Bravo!

Very good Indian food in a lousy location. Ignore that when you drive in, and expect for some deliciousness.
I'm a vegetarian, so I've only had those dishes. What I've had was always well prepared, very delicious, and well presented. As of right now, its the only restaurant I've enjoyed in Harrisburg. -

Easily the best Indian food I've had in Harrisburg. Even better is the very well decorated, lush dining room, with a beautiful view of the Susquehanna River. Service is always friendly and professional. Love the lunch buffet also. They have a full bar, and reasonably priced wine. Really a great restaurant!!

I have been here several times, and this place always impresses me. I have gone there for the lunch buffet numerous times. My husband and I went a couple weeks ago and had a pleasant time. It was busy, so we were sat in the middle at a small two person table, which made me feel somewhat exposed. Also, the prices are a bit higher than other Indian restaurants in the area.

Not too shabby for HBG. I was there as part of a cast party for an opera I did in town and I enjoyed the buffet spread. There wasn't anything all that authentic. It's very Americanized. But still a good quality for what it is.

So after having to use them as my caterer for my wedding, I am thoroughly pissed off at them and their service and their complete and utter lack of professionalism.
First, we went to them months ago to agree on a menu. The owner hands us a sheet with menu options and gives us a set price. Fast forward to 2 weeks before the wedding and the owner is MIA. His wife decides that the quote her husband had given us was outrageously low and refuses to honor it. Then tells us that she can honor it for double what she originally quoted us. We finally get the price down to something somewhat reasonable (still well above the quoted price mind you).
Then the wedding day. We had them caterer the appetizers and dinner portion of our reception. The appetizers for the most part go off without a hitch, but the dinner was horrible. The food was cold. The lassis were more like yogurt. They kept running out of food and couldn't refill it in time. It was a mess.
After talking to them about what happened, they of course blamed the hotel and its staff. I'm not sure who's telling the truth on that one, but I will say this: I will NEVER use them again for a catering gig. EVER! Its no surprise that most Indian weddings that happen in the area end up going up to New Jersey for their catering. I thought that was ridiculous, but I now know why: there just isn't anyone good in the Harrisburg area.Listed in: Indian Wedding, anyone?

Review from Vishal S.

I was in Harrisburg last night and my friend recommended that we give Passage to India a try. We got there late after work - 9:40 PM! The place looks good even though it is next to a Comfort Inn. The staff was very cordial and seated us even though their last order is at 9:45 PM.
We went straight for the main course - no time for appetizers and we were super hungry too.
We were in a vegetarian mood and ordered the following:
- Dal Makhani (Whole black lentils, yellow lentils and kidney beans simmered with tomatoes, onions, and freshly ground spices, garnished with a touch of cream)
- Bhindi Masala (whole okras cooked in spicy sauce
- and House recommended Vegetable Xaccutti (Pronounced "sha-ku-tee" A spicy vegetable curry from west coast of India (Goa), made with ground and roasted coconut, and a blend of aromatic spices)
We wanted all the food to be mild/ medium spicy. What came out of the kitchen was SPICY food! So beware of that when ordering.
Bhindi was definitely a pass 2 stars (out of 5). Okras were not well cooked and half raw.
Dal was good - the usual like any other Indian restaurant
Vegetable Xaccutti was spicy for sure! That blanketed the taste of the dish IMO.
Service was good and attentive.
Bottom Line - Reading other reviews I would return for buffet and give this place another try... -
Review from Lea C.

The is probably my favorite Indian restaurant in the world as of yet. I spent a lot of time here during law school, and it's probably the thing I miss the most in Central PA.
Yes, it's attached to the Comfort Inn, but I promise this has nothing to do with the caliber of the restaurant. The decor is beautiful and very evocative of India, beginning with the heavy filigreed silver front door.
I am told by some of my Indian friends that this place is famous in the Indian community, and that there are families that will come down from NYC just to eat here. The tamarind chutney that is kept on the table is the best I have ever had, and I put it on everything I eat. The portions here are large, which means that if you get an appetizer and entree, you won't possibly be able to finish, so bring a friend and share (and of course, take home leftovers!). It is also incredibly inexpensive for the quality and amount of food.
The papri chat made here is the best I have ever had and I crave it daily. It's served cold, and the crispy bits never seem to get soggy. The pakoras are perfectly spiced, and the samosa filling is yellow and falls apart in your mouth. The naan is large, buttered, and always slighty charred. My favorite entree is a stereotypical one: chicken makhani. It is super juicy, swimming in its complex, creamy sauce, and accompanied with a big platter of basmati rice with saffron, peas, and orange zest. All the entrees are served in beautiful copper bowls. Again, don't let them take away the chutneys, as the dark, burgundy tamarind chutney will satisfy any sweet tooth and I think is the perfect complement to...well, everything.
Once you come here once, you'll keep coming back, I promise. -

Passage is such a strange place...the restaurant is attached to a hotel and yet it has such delicious food.
We've been going to Passage for years now, and even though Harrisburg now has other Indian options I'm always partial to Passage.
Nice staff, good basics, and always easy to get table. -

Great Indian food buffet here at Passage to India. We come here whenever we're driving through, and have never been disappointed. The lunch buffet always includes salad fixins, a veggie soup, and a mix of veggie and meat dishes,with naan and a dessert, usually mango pudding with fruit. The vegetarian food is always solid, and sometimes achieves truly great heights. The buffet today included tandoor chicken, coconut chicken, dal, aloo matar capsicum (potatoes, peas and bell peppers in a curry sauce), kidney beans with squash, basmati rice, naan, tiny masala dosas, mango pudding, and the aforementioned soup and salad. Doug had the coconut chicken and said it was wonderful. Service is efficient if not warm.

I first visited this restaurant 2 years ago and it was my first experience with Indian food.
The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was fantastic. This is a great place for an introduction to Indian food as the staff is helpful in determining a meal that is best for you. The location is next to the river which is perfect for a post-meal stroll with a nice date.
The reason I gave this four stars instead of five is because of the price. It wasn't enough to deter me from having gone again but it is something that should be mentioned. -
Review from E G.

Updated - 8/11/2008
We went back. I dunno why, I guess we wanted a river view and felt like Indian food. Don't order the Tandoori Thali. Simply gross. No way it is worth the $18.95 price tag it's honored with, seeing that it is small in size and obviously cooked at the beginning of the night and then used throughout the evening. Not warm, not fresh and left us with stomach aches. It is about 8 small pieces of a number of tandoori chicken, one lamb piece and one shrimp. The shrimp made me gag, it was so stringy and overcooked, yet cold. The chicken was cold and had obviously been sitting around all night. The lamb was fat.
The Aloo Mutter was surprisingly good, I may order that to go one time again. I would say I like the atmosphere, but when you have a waiter arguing with a customer at the table next to you about the price of a catering quote loudly for 30 mintues I can't even enjoy my meal even if it was good. Seriously, do that business at the counter or over the phone. Nothing worse then a drawn out dispute over money ruining a dining experience. Can't say I was surprised though ;) Our waiter didn't even look at us the whole time he was taking the order and checked back with us half heartedly, seemingly more concerned with a party across the restaurant. 1 star it again.Listed in: Stay Away!

Review from Amy G.
Hampden, PA

If you like Indian food, this is a great place. If you like Indian food that is hard core and not modified for the Central PA palate, get over it because it doesn't exist in Central PA. This, my friend, is some of the best Indian you'll find in the area.
I've eaten here on many, many occasions. Usually for the lunch buffet but also occasionally for dinner. My Indian friends enjoy the restaurant, although they're very clear that this is not 100% authentic and that it only touches upon a small portion of the vastly differing types of Indian food you find in India. Bottom line - if the Indian people like it, it has to be good. Indian people are very hospitable and have distinguished palates.
The lunch buffet is a good deal. There is plenty to eat. There is always a green salad. There is always dal. I can't remember them having a buffet without tandoori chicken. They always have one or two vegetarian dishes and one or two additional meat dishes. You will also find some type of dessert offering.
Their food isn't overly spicy, but the meekest of you might find a slight tingle on your tongue. They usually have a few garnishes or relishes that can add some heat if you need something a little more exciting.
If you like Indian food, you'll love the scent as you walk through the glass doors - basmati rice, curry, cardamom, etc. The location is a little odd - if you miss the entrance to the restaurant/hotel you usually end up in a panic and getting onto the ramp to the highway. The parking is adequate since is shares the lot with the hotel. There are huge glass windows that face the river, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it water-front dining. The staff is nicely dressed, very polite, and very attentive. It feels like a find dining establishment.
Their vegetable pakora is good, but be careful for anything fried on the buffet - it can get a little greasy if it sits too long. Their mango lassi is also a good item. Their chicken vindaloo and their chicken tikka masala are also very good options. Any of the stuffed nans are also good - I like the Passage nan which is on the sweet side. My favorite Indian dishes are made with paneer - a type of cheese curd. This place doesn't disappoint - their Matteer Paneer is great!
We make frozen Gulab Jamun at the house but I'm dying to try it there so it's fresh out of the syrup bath when it comes to the table.
The decor is nice and very upscale with brass, tapestries, artwork, textiles . . . all in beautiful colors. The lunch patrons are usually in business clothes - which today ranges from jeans to suits. At night, most people seem to dress up a little bit.
On the way out, don't forget to freshen your breath with the candied fennel seeds! -

This is a decent place overall. I think there's better Indian in the area, however. I've had several things on the menu, but the papri chat appetizer is still my favorite. They offer a full bar here unlike most Indian places in the area that are BYOB. The service is really great. I recommend getting a reservation as they get busy on Fri/Sat nights.

Despite the mixed reviews of the place I decided to try it for myself and was pleasantly pleased. The interior of the restaurant is just beautiful, very elegant and classy with great river views.
I personally ordered the Lamb Xaccuti which I found terribly delicious with just the right amount of heat. The lamb was tender and very mild. The other curries at my table were decent but the Xaccuti was by far my favorite. I didn't appreciate that we had to order naan separately from our meals, but they have a number of different kinds you can choose from which was cool. I found the passage naan to be delicious.
The service was fine for us, not superb but certainly not insulting. Overall I really enjoyed the place. -

My go to Indian restaurant in the Burg. Sure I can walk there but it's also DELICIOUS! Some other Yelpers pointed out that it is a rough location, I suppose that is true. Ignore that it's next to the Comfort Inn because it is some of the best Indian you will have. Everything I've ever had is fantastic here and my Veggie friends always beg to go. Try the Passage Naan. It's pretty darn good kids.

I just went here tonight and split two entrees, two appetizers, and an order of naan with my family.
I have been there several times and always enjoy it. We ordered dal (there are a few types on the menu but I can't remember which kind - sorry!) and vegetable korma for the entrees and patras and a chickpea nest for the appetizers.
I've never had Passage's dal before tonight. I usually think it is bland and kind of dull, but this was FANTASTIC.
I can't remember the last time I was this pleased with a restaurant's food. Service is prompt and always refills your water glass, but a little... I don't know... the wait staff wasn't too personable or welcoming. Perhaps this is because they automatically added 18% gratuity to our check? I don't know. So that loses about half a star. But Yelp doesn't let me give half stars :) So Passage got a 4 out of 5. -

I was excited to try this place out. I hadn't read the reviews here first before going. I have to agree with EG that the food didn't seem authentic, and that everything tasted similar.
I think it all comes down to taste. My husband and I weren't fond of the food and preferred Aangans. My daughter really liked the food. I have to disagree with Khalid though (sorry Khalid) :D We all agreed Aangan's bread is better, even though Passage to India's was pretty good.
Basically I thought all the food tasted the same - it was all spiced similarly. I had a hard time getting through some of the meal (and I very much love Indian food). It was just all spicy and tasted the same. I said that already, but that's how the food impressed me.
We did go to the buffet - maybe ordering off the menu would be better. One thing I thought was extremely good was the lentil soup they had that day. It was very delicious and satisfying.
Mango lassi - extremely rich so much so that I couldn't even try the dessert. That drink was my dessert. -

Let me preface this review by stating that I'm not a fan of Indian food, or at least haven't enjoyed dishes that I've had (or smelled) in the past.
In December we dined at Passage to India and had a great dinner. We chowed down on yummy Naan bread and had a nice bottle of Shiraz. I ordered the Lamb Saag, and it was delicious. I will consent to being dragged here again in the future. -

This is likely the best Indian restaurant in Harrisburg. The menu offers a lot of options, so whether you're a carnivore or a vegetarian, you should be able to find something you like. The naan is good. The mango drink is good, too. I haven't tried all the entrees before, but the ones I've tried are pretty good.

I'd like to start off by saying that I'm in no way an Indian food expert. Basically, I get the Samosas, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan bread every time. However, that being said, I really enjoy the food, service, and atmosphere at Passage to India! The staff is super friendly and responsive. I'd highly recommend Passage to India!

If you like Indian food and buffets, this is a good place for you. I have been there a few times, only for the lunch buffet, and found it to be consistently good. I tend to agree with Khalid that this may be the westernized version of Indian but this style may appeal to a wider variety of palates. I love the naan here ... fresh and hot! The chicken tikka masaala was delicious (but was only there 1 out of the 3 times I was there). The saag paneer was also very good. Desserts are interesting and tasty. The management and staff are very attentive.

Just moving back from England where I am used to a curry a week (if not two) this place scratches my itch. They make a great saag and the price for dinner is spot on. If you love English Indian (basically its more mild spicy dishes) then this is the place for you. The interior is very nice and the service is polite and accomdating. Indian is very vegan and veggie friendly as well if that is a concern.

Much better than any "Indian" place we ate at in Los Angeles, and much better value for money. We really liked the different flavors on Nan and I loved my Lamb dish. The mango drink was really tasty too. If you are staying at the Comfort Inn next door you might rename this restaurant as Passage out of Hell. Haven't yet tried the buffet yet but we are looking forward to it.
