Indian restaurant names

Tips for naming a indian restaurant

• Name a spice, dish, or region, such as Masala, Tandoor, or Punjab, to tell guests what the menu centers on.
• Words that mean palace, garden, or royal court make a dine-in restaurant feel special and memorable.
• Keep the name short enough to fit a delivery app header without truncation.
• Choose a name that non-native speakers can say easily, since word of mouth matters a lot in this category.
• If one dish anchors the menu, such as biryani or dosa, consider naming it so guests remember what to order.

What to avoid

• Avoid religious or sacred imagery in the name, since it can be sensitive for guests and communities.
• Avoid names built around hotel brands or palace resorts, which may confuse guests or raise trademark concerns.
• Avoid leaning on the word curry alone, which reads as generic and blends in with other listings.

Before you commit to a name

Search the name with your city on Google and Maps, check your state's business registry and the USPTO trademark database, and confirm the domain and social handles are free. These ideas are starting points; any of them may already be in use near you.

Once it's yours, put it on a free menu template and give it a home guests can order from directly with commission-free online ordering.
