Choose Ganesh Indian Restaurant for a broad menu around Van Cao, Indian Kitchen Hai Phong for the Vinhomes Marina area, or KP Yoga & Indian Vegetarian Restaurant for a vegetarian-focused meal. Your location and dietary needs are the most useful starting points for choosing between them.
For a meal in central Hai Phong, use the addresses below. Ganesh on Cat Ba Island and Indian Rasoi in the former Hai Duong urban area require separate journeys, so they are not nearby alternatives. Opening hours, phone numbers and delivery availability can change; confirm the exact branch on the day you plan to visit.

Three Indian restaurants in central Hai Phong
Ganesh Indian Restaurant – 130 Văn Cao
- Address: 130 Văn Cao, Hải Phòng.
- Phone: 0937 322 721.
- Reference hours: lunch and dinner service; call ahead if you plan to arrive between 14:30 and 17:00 or late in the evening.
- Menu focus: North and South Indian vegetarian dishes, chicken, lamb, fish, prawns, tandoori dishes, naan, rice, biryani, dosa, uttapam, vada and idli.
Ganesh is a useful starting point when a group wants a wide menu rather than one particular style of Indian food. Its published menu covers both meat and vegetarian dishes, as well as breads and rice dishes that can be shared. Ask the staff to suggest a balanced order instead of choosing several rich curries with similar sauces.
For a milder first meal, ask about butter chicken or chicken korma and state how little chilli you want. Korma can contain cream and cashew nuts, while tandoori marinades commonly use yogurt. “Mild” describes heat, not allergens or the absence of dairy.
For a broader comparison, combine one curry with rice or naan and add a tandoori dish only if the group wants another substantial plate. Vegetarian choices are available, but vegan diners should ask about ghee, butter, cream, paneer and yogurt in each sauce and bread. Ganesh also lists South Indian items such as dosa, uttapam, vada and idli; confirm availability at the Hai Phong branch rather than assuming every item shown by the chain is served throughout the day.
The Ganesh branch at 171 Một Tháng Tư is on Cat Ba Island. It has separate contact details and should not be treated as a second central-city address. If your itinerary includes Cat Ba, check that branch directly rather than using the Văn Cao phone number or service information.
Best for: mixed groups that want a wide selection and diners staying around Văn Cao.
Indian Kitchen Hai Phong – Vinhomes Marina
- Current address to use: SH06-S01, Vinhomes Marina, Hải Phòng.
- Phones: +84 989 062 990 or +84 52 285 8857.
- Service pattern: opens at 09:00, takes an afternoon break and resumes dinner service at 17:00. Confirm the day’s last orders before arriving after 14:00 or late in the evening.
- Menu focus: curries, naan, paneer dishes, biryani, tandoori dishes, lassi and both meat and vegetarian choices.
Use the Vinhomes Marina address when navigating to Indian Kitchen. Do not travel to 22D Minh Khai unless the restaurant first confirms that it is still operating as a separate branch.
Indian Kitchen is a practical option for a group that wants familiar dishes such as naan and curry alongside vegetarian choices. When ordering, ask which portion sizes are intended for sharing and whether the kitchen can adjust chilli heat; neither detail can be inferred reliably from a dish name.
Best for: diners staying near Vinhomes Marina and groups combining meat and vegetarian orders.
KP Yoga & Indian Vegetarian Restaurant – 4/25 Điện Biên Phủ
- Address: 4/25 Điện Biên Phủ, Hải Phòng.
- Phone: 0901 625 886.
- Reference hours: approximately 07:30–14:00 and 17:00–22:00 daily.
- Menu focus: Indian vegetarian food, including breads, rice dishes, curries and paneer-based choices.
KP describes itself as a pure vegetarian restaurant rather than a mixed kitchen with a vegetarian section. Use the complete 4/25 Điện Biên Phủ address when navigating.
Vegetarian does not automatically mean vegan. If you avoid all animal products, ask about ghee, butter, cream, yoghurt, paneer and egg before ordering. Some dishes may be suitable for vegans, but preparation should be confirmed for each dish. Diners following Jain or other strict diets should explain every excluded ingredient when placing the order.
Best for: vegetarians, vegan diners who are comfortable confirming ingredients, and groups that prefer a vegetarian-focused restaurant.
How to order Indian food in Hai Phong
Build a balanced shared meal
For two or more people, a practical order is one bread or rice dish, one curry or lentil dish, one grilled or dry dish and a cooling side such as raita. This gives the table different textures without ordering several heavy sauces. Portion sizes vary, so ask how many people each dish normally serves.
Describe chilli heat clearly
“Spiced” and “hot” are not the same. Indian food can contain many aromatic spices without being high in chilli, while a dish described as medium may still feel very hot to an unfamiliar diner. If you need low heat, say that you want very little chilli and ask whether extra chilli can be served separately.
Confirm dietary requirements before ordering
Do not assume that an Indian restaurant is halal, vegan, gluten-free or safe for a particular allergy. Treat halal status as unconfirmed unless the restaurant can provide current certification. Ask directly about meat sourcing, separate preparation and ingredients such as dairy, egg, wheat, cashews and other nuts.
Check the branch and service window
Use the exact restaurant name and street address when booking a taxi or placing a delivery order. KP and Indian Kitchen have an afternoon break. Hai Phong Tours recommends confirming the kitchen’s service window before making a special trip after a late train or transfer; opening in the morning does not mean continuous service until dinner.
Frequently asked questions
Which Indian restaurant in Hai Phong should a first-time diner choose?
Choose Ganesh when menu breadth matters most, Indian Kitchen when Vinhomes Marina is the more convenient location, and KP when you want a vegetarian-focused restaurant. Review rankings change, so location and dietary needs are more useful decision factors.
Is there a fully vegetarian Indian restaurant in Hai Phong?
Yes. KP Yoga & Indian Vegetarian Restaurant presents itself as an Indian vegetarian restaurant. Ganesh and Indian Kitchen also list vegetarian choices, but their kitchens serve meat as well. Strict vegan diners should still confirm the ingredients and preparation of each dish.
Is Ganesh Indian Restaurant on Cat Ba included?
No. Ganesh on Cat Ba is a separate island branch at 171 Một Tháng Tư. It may suit a Cat Ba itinerary, but it is not a practical alternative for someone choosing dinner in central Hai Phong.
Are the Indian restaurants in Hai Phong halal?
Do not rely on cuisine type as proof of halal status. Ask the restaurant whether its meat is halal-certified and whether preparation meets your requirements before ordering.
Final choice
For a wide published menu, start with Ganesh on Văn Cao. Choose Indian Kitchen if Marina is closer, or KP if a vegetarian restaurant is the priority. Whichever restaurant you select, confirm the current address, hours and dietary requirements on the same day.
