Indian cuisine is the most popular form of Asian food in the world. It is common in the U.S. to see Indian restaurants in all major cities, especially if many international students attend local universities. If you are going to open an Indian restaurant, you better make it stand out from its competition by selling something different and unique.

Whether you are looking for a business to grow your minimum investment or plan to have your own franchise business with no money, we would like to invite you to come and be part of our growing Indian food franchise family in the USA. You can take advantage of Fransmart’s list of profitable Indian food franchise opportunities that give a franchisee the benefits of business ownership, with the proven systems and support of a franchise.

Indian Franchise in America

The first Indian restaurant to open in the USA was in 1960, and since then, the demand for Indian food in the country has only been increasing. There are now a staggering 80,000 Indian restaurants in America. Indian cuisine is also recognized as the fastest-growing segment of the $700 billion American restaurant industry, making this category of franchises a promising business opportunity for the coming years.

Some of the most popular franchise brands in 2022 are in the Indian food category. This previously underdeveloped segment has caught the attention of intelligent investors all across the country so much so that celebrity and investor Priyanka Chopra Jones, a famous Bollywood actress, had gone all out in the recent grand opening of her dine-in take away restaurant in NYC.

There are many different style Indian food franchises available. Here we look at the best Indian franchises to own in the U.S.

Best Indian Franchise to Own in 2024

#1 Curry Up Now:

Curry Up Now was started in 2009 by Akash Kapoor. The chain serves an “innovative spin” on traditional Indian cuisine. Through the years, the brand has been recognized in many publications and presently is expanding its reach with 17 open locations, and 60+ more in the pipeline for North Carolina, Washington, Texas, and the U.K.

  • Initial Investment: $416,450 – $1,779,750
  • Franchise fees: $35,000

 

#2 Butter Chicken Company:

The founder, Asad Sheikh, serves India’s famous butter chicken based on the recipe of Moti Mahal in New Delhi, where the dish originated. Shareholders in Butter Chicken Company are the group that invested in Sweetgreen, Cava by Chloe and launched franchising for 5 Guys, The Halal Guys, and QDOBA.

  • Initial Investment: $392,000 – $1,671,500

#3 Rangoli Grill:

#4 Chutneys:

The Indian fast-casual segment is an untapped market that will see abundant growth as consumers continuously search for options to satisfy their hunger needs. Chutneys is the first fast-casual Indian franchise serving Indian food that is fast, fresh, and affordable.

Chutney’s menu has a unique build-to-order concept that offers fresh and delicious servings. The brand boasts fresh ingredients and food made in-house to give guests an exceptional dining experience.

#5 Rasoee:

Rasoee is a chain of American-based quick-casual restaurants. It is the only restaurant that serves authentic Indian preparations, individually portioned in less than 2 minutes. Compared to other restaurant brands, the modest investment requirement, coupled with a shallow break-even point, makes Rasoee a popular restaurant franchise opportunity.

#6 Twisted Indian Wraps:

Twisted Indian Wraps focuses on Indian flavours that are prepared slowly and served fast. The company provides exceptional tastes with high levels of speed and service. It supports its franchisees in site selection, lease negotiation, construction and design, training, marketing, and ongoing operations.

Conclusion

Starting an Indian restaurant can cost you anywhere between $100,000 to 300,000. However, some restaurants will have a lower initial cost and franchise fee than others. For example, Butter Chicken Company and Curry Up Now have better support, lower franchise fee, and better ROI than many other brands in the market.
