10. Kumar’s

Northern Indian cuisine is well represented in Minneapolis and may be recognized by its frequent usage of garam masala, curries, and naan bread. If you think that sounds good, you still need to experience the fantastic cuisine of South India. To our relief, Kumars in Apple Valley supplies Minneapolis with delicious South Indian cuisine. It is a refreshing change of pace from the standard Indian fare seen in urban areas, with a menu featuring all the delicious variations on rice, bread, and soups typical in Southern India.
