32 Best Indian Restaurants near San Lorenzo

“Excellent place to get authentic, great tasting Indian food and the people them are amazing as well, starting with karma, the young guy working there, very professional and pleasant server. The place is very inviting, clean and elegant looking unlike other places I've been to. We ordered samosas for appetizer, lamb curry, goat curry, butter chicken rice and naan. Everything came out looking lovely and the taste was over the top....If I could give them 10 stars I would, it really blew my mind. Keep up the great work Flavors of India!!!!“

“My wife liked the chicken that she ordered. The chicken momos were too spicy for her even after it was supposed to be medium s spicy. I liked the aloo matar but my wife didn't like it. She liked the veg chowmein. I didn't like it. We both liked the kulfi. The pistachio kulfi was very good with almost no sweet or ever less of it. The mango kulfi was too sweet for our taste buds and it was ok. The service is really great. Will come again.Vegetarian options: There are few veggie options. Please ask and the waiter can suggest you some options.Parking: There are some parking spots outside the restaurant.“

“We are new to the Bay Area and went to this restaurant for the first time . Their service and food was excellent! I am North Indian and not easy to please with North Indian food but I have not had such mind blowing chole kulche and sarson ka saag , makke di roti in the US . Definitely recommend . Our server, Sabi,was awesome, brought complementary French fries for my son and gajar ka halwa for us. Very hospitable, felt like we were in India. Would go back soon.Vegetarian options: We were told that the kitchen is separated into veg and non veg sections and they do not mix things up which is great!“

“Came here as it had the highest ranking in Danville, very pleased with our orders. Tandoori chicken was sizzling and tender, butter chicken was spicy and tangy, very impressive. Goat curry was well cooked since goat can be tough and gristly when not prepared well. Palak paneer was mild and creamy. Medium spice left a pleasant heat in the mouth without being painful. Atmosphere is nonexistant and we were the only party in there from 630-730 on a friday night. They'll need to rely on takeout and word of mouth to stay afloat since the location is off the main drag and it's got all the ambiance of a panda express. But the food was deeeeelish.“

“Authentic freshly prepared North Indian fare. Fresh high quality Sharbathi Aata rotis, piping hot vegan kofta curry, bhel puri with strawberries and paneer paratha with creamy curd! What more does one need. The owner is a botanist and his wife a doctor. The meals are prepared right then and there and the owner is really sweet and treats you like you are his child. It's endearing!“

“Went here for takeout dinner--many choices, all tasty--and found an Indian grocery to rival Santos Spice Products. I mean, it's smaller, but they have filled every spot with something. They even sell little cones of henna, ready to use on your hands and feet! Also very friendly.“

“Do yourself a favor and run don't walk! The Karahi is made to perfection with slow cooked meat and pieces of ginger that give a nice textured spice to the dish. The Chicken biryani has caramelized onions folded in for pockets of sweetness. The chicken Makhni is a classic butter chicken that never misses. Their cheese Naan is gooey and delicious! I've ordered delivery and dined in before with no change in quality.“

“We were a bunch of 6 people that went here and hence got to try quite a few things on the menu and I must say each of them were bursting with flavors . I have lived in the Bay Area for abt 3.5 years and although there are a lot of Indian options I missed having a go to place for chats and am glad we tumbled upon this place !! We tried the golgappe, barwa golgappe( which is like Dahi puri) , aloo tikki, bhelpuri, crispy gobi kati roll, spicy paneer kati roll, pav bhaji and each of them was authentic and super yummy . The service was great and the place was very clean . The cleanliness could be because they are new so I would highly recommend going there now to try their food . It is also a family owned business so I loved that I could support local business . Since it’s new , the owners came out to check if we liked the food and ask for feedback. My personal favorite were the golgappe ( they have 4 different kinds of pani - spicy, sweet, hing and jeera) , u get to chose 1, May be ask half n half . U will come back satisfied after your visit . The pav bhaji reminded me of pav bhaji from chowpaty. Overall a must try for all chaat lovers like me !“

“We ordered a variety of their recommended dishes including a noodle soup and goat dish. My favorite is still their chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. The tikka masala is a bit thicker in consistency and their naan is slightly sweet, which adds a nice twist.“

“Came here for dinner last night with a family since we were craving Indian food and we were not disappointed! We got the garlic naan, orange fig tikka the butter chicken, and the chicken tikka masala. Everything was deliciously hot and fresh. We were happily surprised. portions were very affordable and Can't wait to come back and try more food!“

“I ordered the two plate combo. I am from out of town, so sadly I won’t be able to come here again unless I decided to take another trip to the Bay Area.The Rogan Josh was cooked to perfection, with tender chunks of meat simmered in a rich and aromatic sauce that had just the right balance of spices. Every bite was a delight, and I found myself savoring each mouthful.The vindaloo, on the other hand, was a spicy masterpiece. The heat level was just right for me, adding a nice kick without overpowering the other flavors. The tender meat soaked up the tangy and fiery sauce, creating a dish that was both satisfying and exciting!“

“I came here specifically because I was craving chicken karahi and it definitely hit the spot. My partner got the madras chicken and that was also good. Both tender bite-size pieces of chicken breast, yet somehow so moist. And there's unlimited complimentary chai and hot water/tea bags. It was a mildly spiced chai. When we got here, there were only a few people, and the manager (didn't get his name!) said we could sit anywhere. After looking at the menu, we asked him his chicken recommendations. He was refreshingly honest about how some dishes weren't particularly unique or difficult to make and guided us. For spice, we got the karahi med-spicy and madras just medium. I'd say medium is pretty mild by my standards, next time I'd get spicy if I wasn't dining with my mild-spice white bf. After asking about the naan over papadum, he suggested naan but gave us papadum on the house, which was really appreciated. Mid way through dinner a large party (15+) came in, making the place much more lively and busy, but service was still good. I was glad to see it for the business :) Next time I would try some different appetizers, a lamb dish, and maybe aloo naan. Looking forward to coming back.“

“Their Chole bhature are the best in the whole Bay Area. Try it once and you can tell the difference. I have ordered it many times and will continue to do so but I have tried their other food items which were just ok. Their naans needs improvement. Not sure what happened but when I took them home and tried to eat them, they were basically stretchy and unchewable. I hope they fix this problem. When eaten in the store, they are very good.“

“Loved this simple restaurant with very delicious dosas. We had a tiffin plate which was pretty filling and an onion masala dosa which was delicious. The chutneys were definitely the best. Will come back for a quick weekend South Indian brunch.“

“Love finding great food in San Leandro, and this place deserves way more attention. I could eat the fries with green chutney ranch sauce all day, every day. Chicken curry has the perfect amount of heat for me. Tasty street food and excellent service. Portions are generous. Their website makes it easy to order online (they are takeout only). Lots of gluten free options with a labled menu. Wish they were downtown where they'd get more foot traffic, but I'd support them anywhere.“

“One of the finest Indian vegetarian food outlets in Fremont. The ambiance, more suited for takeout than for dine-in due to limited space, still adds to the overall charm of the place. I've indulged in their Shahi Paneer Korma, butter rotis, Chole Masala, and Onion Chilli Parathas extensively, and the taste and quality consistently impress. The pricing is also quite reasonable. And let's not forget Mr. Pavan, the wonderfully customer-friendly owner, who truly sets this establishment apart and makes it one of my favorite spots to enjoy a delicious meal here in the Bay Area. P.S. Not a complaint, just my personal observation: The 'Shahi Paneer Korma' here is not exactly what the name suggests, but more akin to 'Paneer Butter Masala' in disguise!“

“I discovered this restaurant through yelp. It is a tiny hole-in-the-wall place with less than 10 tables. They are used to catering to offices and a to-go place. Incredible Food - the flavors of are unique and delicious. Food is medium spicy. Service is fantastic - I got good recommendations - Salmon Curry, Chicken Momo, Veg Fried Rice, Paneer Masala Curry and Garlic Naan. After the meal, even the chef came out to meet us. It is awesome to meet a friendly Fremont family owned establishment. I would strongly recommend trying this out.“

“The dosas are good, served a little darker than expected but with plenty of stuffing. The service needs work, we ordered an appetizer and it came after the entrees we're served.Do not order the butter chicken, it was awful, very obvious the cook does not make even decent north Indian chicken.“

“I stumbled into this place and the nice sever Subash said I would like the sampler first item on menu and boy is he right! It is almost too much food for one person! The flavors are a wonderful surprise after a long day of work! Mint, curry, buttery rice thing lol, an herb doughnut I dipped into the mint chutney. A surprise of desert surgery almost a pudding with raisins. All for a out $13. I highly recommend this place.The 3 atmosphere rating is because I wanted to sit down and there are no seats or tables. They must have changed to take out only.“

“I tried mutton seek kebab and chicken kebabs earlier but today for a change I tried Chicken roll and Fish tikka. After first bite I went back to my Delhi college days. Same chicken roll taste as India and tikkas are always awesome.Our host Varun is one of the best chef in Fremont :) Keep it up ??“

“I didn't grow up in a South Asian background, and had little experience in "authentic" Indian cuisine. So I ordered a little bit of everything. Mild masala dosa, chicken curry, mutton dum biryani, and garlic naan. A little after noon, and the place was filled. They didn't have the weekend specials (ie. chittor chicken) but we were satisfied with the food.“

“Anyday the best Indian pizza in Fremont. They're service is fast. I have never sat down and dined.Usually I order and pick up. Their menu is amazing very diverse for both veg and non veg. I love the achari Gobi pizza and they're chicken wings. I have Done birthday party orders here and they are pretty quick. I highly recommend this place if you are looking for a good India pizza spot in Fremont/ Union City area“

“I could not be more stoked about a restaurant than this one. This place has the best tandoori meats and today I got to try a pani puri too and man!!! did my taste buds transport to New Delhi days or what!!! I ordered a combo plate with lamb chops and lamb sheesh kabob. Perhaps the most tender and meatiest lamb chops ever and amazing value for money. The owner himself is vegetarian, yet seems to have perfected meat and veg tandoor dishes. this place is Magic!“

“I stopped by a few days ago to grab a chicken wrap, and let me tell you it was on of the best I ever had. The tandoori chicken was well marinated, and fresh lest not forget to mention. Also the cashier was very nice and it was quick since I was in lunch. I totally recommend.“

“First, good cuisine, then good service is how I roll!However, the food and service are also excellent.Five stars for the cuisine and five stars for the service; the owner was incredibly gracious.Try the tantrori wings, the delicious desi barbecue, and the dish ? if you enjoy something sweet.“

“The best Bangladeshi cuisine restaurant I have been to in the last 15 years in both the east and the west coast. Some of our favorites- Special items - Eelish polau, bhorta Regular - Goat Kacchi biriyani, Chicken Kacchi (even better) Shorshe eelish, Chicken jhol, Goat rejala, Morog polau, Chicken roast. Pretty much everything.“

“Exceptional experience at Rameshwaram Cafe! The Indian-style breakfast was a delightful surprise in California. From perfectly spiced dosas to flavorful sambar, every bite was a journey of taste. The variety and authenticity exceeded expectations. Kudos to the chef and staff for such a memorable start to the “

“Great Indian takeout in San Leandro / Oakland boarder. Warning: butter chicken is addictive! Signs of withdrawal: watery mouth, lack of interest in other food and dream about an orange creamy stew over basmati rice.Tip: spicy option is HOOOT. Settle for medium“

“Deciitontet this new spot out. They have lots of options online menu and 2 kiosk to order yourself inside. They also have catering options. I tried the pizza samosa which were good and spicy. Not pizza flavored they have a nice Indian taste but spicy so not really for kids but delicious. Smaller than most Samosas about the size of pizza rolls. The lamb gyro was tasty and I enjoyed it. No fat on the meat it was thinly sliced had lots of meat. They serve drinks, smoothies,juices,bowls,salads,soups, sandwichws,gyro, really everything. The juice was refreshing and all natural veggies and fruit. No sweeteners unless upon request. I was also gifted a tiny chocolate pudding to try. It was really delicious and fresh my daughter enjoy it. I'd try something different next time lots of choices.“

“We had Misal Pav and Vada Pav. This dishes made me remind of true Maharashtrian authentic flavours. I would strongly recommend this place. The owners/ team is very humble and is always welcoming suggestions. I got to know in quick chat they are going try more different kind of Vada Pav like maska Vada Pav and chutney maska cheese Vada pav. I would come back to try those. Keep the good work and this great flavours. Kudos to the team!“

“My father found the best caterer in the Bay Area and the best part is they are both from Hoshiarpur! When we called Ravinder uncle he made us feel so welcome and promised us the catered food would be beyond our expectation....and he surely delivered! At our event, we had 4 people come on site and make FRESH food in front of our guests! Even a month after my event, people are still raving about the food and service! Long life customer!“

“Fiji Sweets & Snacks opened where Donutland once was. Small shelf area. Didn't see any made in house sweets. Ordered lamb curry to go. Ready in 10ish minutes. Store had the usual rice, grains, condiments, cooking oils, teas, snacks, house made snacks. Menu of food to go in corner had no prices..not too legible. Buys: curry lamb(10.99) -didn't taste curry per se. Liquid tasted like a chili. Burning localized in mouth. Mix of tender & semi tender lamb pieces bone-in. A piece had bone marrow. Bongo baked cheese puffs (3.99) -made in Fiji. Baked puffs were melt in mouth. Cheese just a sprinkling of cheese powder, neglible taste. Lots of artificial chemicals Fried green peas (2.50) -made in house of peas, vegetable oil, salt, spices, chili. Slight burning sensation. 4.5 stars: small space. Doesn't look organized.“
