14 Best Indian Restaurants in Oakland

“The restaurant itself is not in the best location, and the interior and bathroom isn't the best. But we went in and were welcomed so warmly for dinner when the place wasn't busy. We got the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala. The biryani is one of the best I have ever had in the US and the garlic naan was perfect and fluffy but crispy. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, not overcooked, and well seasoned. The best Indian restaurant we went to in East Bay. Would come again.“

“Hole in the wall with delicious food! Today we had saag with potatoes (medium spicy was SO tasty) and vegetable korma with vegetable dumplings and sesame naan. Big fan of the sesame naan! Our usual order is bindi (okra) and lamb vindaloo, and veggie samosas - all of which we consistently love. My husband also got the cumin-spiced lemonade but thought it was a bit salty.“

“Was in town for a few days and was craving some Indian food, when I saw this spot I got excited when I saw the name. Just as I hoped, the menu said they also offered Tibetan/ Nepali dishes. I have always wanted to try Momos, so I had to go. Yoyo Momoss is a small spot, the kind I grew up finding the best food at, so I couldn't resist. I am so happy I found them! I got delicious Momos, Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic Naan, Aloo Gobi and oh my, everything was so good. I felt like I was home, or someone's grandmother's house. The kind of food only a seasoned chef could produce. I had been to 4 restaurants before being lucky enough to find Yoyo Momoss, and I am so glad I did. I only review restaurants I really, really enjoy, this has been the best since my arrival in Oakland! Bodhi and the cook that was with him preparing the food couldn't have been nicer. That made the visit so much better. The world needs more businesses like this one, do yourself a favor and eat here, if you're a local you will probably become a regular customer. This spot makes me wish I could stay in Oakland for a long, long time. Thank you for the wonderful food, I will be sure to come back next time I come to town.“

“Delicious Curry House truly lives up to its name,
Their food is simply delicious, it's a culinary acclaim.
The ambiance is awesome, a perfect dining space,
Coupled with nice service, it's a place you won't replace.“

“Don’t let the location deter you too much because the food here is excellent, their chicken tikka masala is always superb and they prepare okra the best of any Indian restaurant I’ve had it at. The service is always friendly and polite and the restaurant interior is nice. I happen to work nearby and my colleagues and I come here once in a while or order takeout.“

“Bopping in to town to see Harry Mack at Fox Theater, we parked around the corner and wanted something to eat. I saw the phrase Indian Street Food on the window, mentioned it to Brian and it was immediately decided. I am stoked, because the food was delicious!! The tikka masala was great, mango chutney to die for, salsa with my rice (sooooo good, you have no idea!!), and if I wasn't on a diet I'd have the El Jefe burrito, which is a burrito made with naan!!! Check this place out if you're anywhere near one! I believe they have multiple locations.“

“Best Food by Chef Jay... Good place for Indian cuisine, If you are craving for Indian food this is the place to be... Best food reasonably priced...“

“I have been twice now and the food is really good. I had the lamb biryani and lamb tikka masala. Both times the lamb was nice and tender and the dishes were super. I have not dined in, but while waiting I could appreciate the dim lit space. Everyone there is lovely and kind. I will be dining here frequently.“
