Located just west of the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, and east of Las Vegas Boulevard in the Paradise Esplanade, a 60,000-square-foot shopping center, lies a gem of an Indian restaurant: Origin India. Serving authentic Indian cuisine, the restaurant is brought to you from London by successful husband-and-wife restaurateurs Raja Majid and Alena Olevic-Majid, who have replicated their London concept -- Origin Asia, which also featured Indian fine dining -- and brought it to Vegas. Every attention to detail is noted, from the authentic Indian décor to the varied menu, which couples old classics with new surprises that continue to delight. Whether you're new to Indian cuisine or a curry connoisseur, you'll love Origin India; far from "curry in a hurry," its cuisine deserves to be admired and savored -- just like the fine American, French, Chinese and Italian fare that Vegas restaurants are so famous for serving.
