“I highly recommend this place for authentic and delicious Indian food. My favorite dishes are the following: 1. Butter chicken - chicken very tender and juicy, sauce tastes so good especially with the naan bread (they should bottle the sauce and sell it!) 2. Yellow dal - we enjoyed this dish. ordered mild spice but next time will order medium spice as we want a little more heat. 3. Appetizer Samosa - comes with 4 per order, generous amount of filling with potato and green peas. It was a little spicy. Comes with 2 dipping sauces - green sauce and sweet sauce.“

“My entire family loves Lotus and we appreciate that the food is made with high quality, organic ingredients. This food is the closest we've gotten to how food tastes back home in India :) Recently I worked with the Lotus team to cater a 45-50 person event. Surinder, the owner, was phenomenally helpful. He was in touch with me regularly, on time for delivery, provided everything I needed including the matches to keep the chafing dishes warm throughout the night. He went above and beyond. We were already HUGE fans of this place and are now SUPER fans. My preschool-aged daughter loves this place too and asks to go here all the time :) HIGHLY rec!“

“This IS our Favorite restaurant in Marin. Family run. Wonderfully prepared and excellent quality food. Service is always friendly. Whenever we don’t want to make a meal (lunch or dinner) and go down our list of options, we get excited when it is a Taste of Himalayas meal.Parking: 2 in front and plenty in back“

The ambiance and vibe is spot on. Keep up the good work. Mango lassi is a must with your meal or the Chai tea on a rainy day sure to warm you up.“

“My girlfriend is celiac, as well as allergic to dairy and most meats. The owner came over and went through all of her allergies and guaranteed they would all be covered with no cross contamination in the kitchen. He recommended a few dishes for us and it was truly the best Indian food we've ever had, all with being gluten-free and dairy free. We'd be very regular customers if we weren't just in town visiting.“

“Delicious! Great service, would definitely recommend.“

“Nice local Indian restaurant. But of a cafe-like feel but really good food. Onion pakoras were nicely cooked and not oily. Excellent sauces with the lamb tikka masala and chicken coconut curry. Naan was nice and crispy on the outside. Tandoori prawns were a bit overcooked. Service was very friendly and fast. Great place for a quick meal if you are in the mood for Indian.“

“My wife and I have made Little Goan our favorite Indian restaurant in Novato. We go almost every time we're in Marin. Sharona and Frankie are super sweet people and very accommodating. We always order an extra meal to take home. It's rare when I find a place where I want to eat s-l-o-w-l-y enough to truly savor the food. Little Goan captures my hedonistic desire to experience spirituality in a spoonVegetarian options: Lots of GF options.“

“A Mill Valley classic! Delicious South Asian food. Want to make it a hybrid? Try a chapati wrap with some chutney. There are tables inside and outside. Fun spot to grab to go and stroll through town, especially if you've got the burrito wrap!“

“I placed a pickup order really late (already really cool of them). After I got it, I saw that they had forgotten my samosas. I called them after close hoping to catch somebody and the person (who picked up from their cell phone) said he'd call me back and figure it out. They ended up going back to the restaurant and making em for me after they had closed, which they 100% didn't have to do. Really really cool of them. Love this spot. Big big thank you?“

“I think this a great North Indian restaurant. The staff is very kind and attentive and I found the food very fresh and authentic. I loved the aloo tikki chat and it reminded me of what I’d get in Delhi. I also really liked the vegetarian thali. It had plenty of food and everything was really fresh, especially the dal. This is a great vegetarian-friendly restaurant in Mill Valley.Vegetarian options: Aloo Tikki Chat, Vegetarian thali“
