Reviews Summary
Indian Ocean Restaurant is celebrated for its delicious and authentic Indian cuisine, with many patrons highlighting dishes like buttered King prawn and tikka Masala. The service is consistently praised as exceptional, with staff noted for their friendliness and attentiveness. While the ambiance is generally pleasant and clean, some reviews mention a lack of starting dips or finishing shots, and one reviewer found a specific scallop dish to be overcooked and disappointing.

"A great little gem for Indian food, located just outside the elevator to the beach! The food was delicious and freshly prepared, and the prices were very reasonable for both food and drinks. What stood out most was the warm and accommodating staff — they were incredibly kind and attentive to our needs, especially since we were dining with our infant. A welcoming spot with great service and authentic flavors — highly recommended if you're in the area!"

"My boyfriend and I love Indian food. We challenged ourselves to try something new that we have never had before. We ordered the cheese naan and vegetable curry. He ordered a lamb dish, I forgot the name. The food was full of flavor and delicious and glad we tried something new. Caution the medium is hot!"

6 Places to eat Gluten Free in Albufeira
Located on Rua Latino Coelho in Albuferia Old Town the Indian Ocean Restaurant is a little past the busy area of the old town but well worth the extra steps it takes to get there. We consulted with the owner about what we could eat and apart from the obvious such as naan bread a great proportion of the menu was naturally gluten free. On each occasion bottle of house red was ordered and we feasted on wonderful onion bargees, poppadum’s and amazing curry, the lamb bhuna is particularly good and don’t miss the chicken korai.
