21 Best Indian Restaurants near Redwood City

“Swekar was very helpful - thank you! - explaining dishes & making suggestions about which Nepalese dishes go together. The Buff momos, chilli badel (wild boar), aloo tikki (potato pancakes), & naan were all delicious!(The first time we ate here, we stayed with 'safe' choices. Delicious, but safe. The reviews encouraged us to try new dishes!)Hāmī phirtā hunēchauṁ! (We will be back!)“

“The food is consistent and incredible. The staff is all friendly and helpful. You can almost always be seated immediately. Very delicious lunch specials. I love meat usually but the vegetarian options are fantastic. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in RWC.“

“I have been to this place only a handful of times. Each time the food quality and service never ceases to amaze me. The food is spectacularly delicious. The service is quick. Don' t let that deter you in thinking the food quality must lack. On the contrary, they use fresh ingredients and the fact that they are so busy they food turn over is great. you know you are getting fresh cooked food. Hands down the best pakistani/indian restaurant in the bay area. I recommend the halwa puri thali on the weekends and the spinach gosht on the weekdays with garlic naan.“

“Eaten at "Hidden Tap & Barrel" in Redwood City. To eat, I had the mango habanero wings and they were spicy and flavor was tasty, but the wings themselves were soggy and I don't like soggy wings (I like them fully cooked and crispy, especially with a wet sauce). So the way the wings were cooked made it hard to enjoy them, they were small too. I got the 10 piece and it definitely came with more than 10 pieces so I liked that. My partner got the meat lover's pizza and that was delicious. Overall solid spot. Dim lighting, music is loud, but it's a fun spot with great drinks. Next time I'll get the pizza.“

“An absolute favorite that I am sure to visit on every trip to the Bay. Very unique fusions of Indian and Californian flavors with something for every palate. My favorites are the sesame leaf, burrata kulcha, house salad and dry boat scallops. Also don’t sleep on the cocktails. Very nicely crafted.“

“Food was great!! My daughter loves the butter chicken as she says it melts in your mouth with the amazing flavor. The oyster mushroom was delicious with the great texture!! And my son enjoyed the butter naan. Service was wonderful as always and the atmosphere was welcoming and aesthetically pleasing.“

“I came here last summer and it was quite an interesting experience. We ordered and then sat outside.The paratha roll was great all around -- tender and flavorful spicy chicken in a buttery roll. I'd definitely get this again.The sizzling chicken dish had good flavor but the chicken was not as tender as I would've liked.The palak paneer was pretty meh. Not creamy and just spinachy.The garlic naan and mango lassi were good. Overall I had a good time here and would definitely get the paratha roll again.“

“Went for a Friday night date with husband. The food was flavoursome . Specially the Bombay sliders were just mouthwatering ?Decent and quiet ambience with not much hustle bustle.-1 just for the fact they were out of the dessert we wanted to try.Overall had a nice calm dinner.“

“Ok this is the 4th time me and my wife we usually visit here every Friday on exactly 11:15 am . The place is always clean and tidy as always i have visited and the girl who is the server she is so sweet and nice . Her customer service is so nice and how sweetly she describes every single food . She is so cute . Ok talking about food we always order veggie momo steam tofu tika masala garlic nan and chowmein bowl with gobi manchurian so delicious mouth watering delicious food. I really recommend you guys to visit if you guys want good nepali and indian food in San Mateo downtown.??“

“The ambience is not great but the food and service totally make up for it. The dosas are fresh and very good. We asked for the masala on the side and they were great about it. We also enjoyed lamb, naan, biryani, and chicken tikka masala. All were delicious! Some of us had the chai and some had lassi and we all enjoyed the drinks. The portions were quite good I thought. Definitely worth trying if you are nearby and like Indian food.“

“A simple ambience welcomes you to the place with good indoor and outdoor seating. The outdoor seating is facilitated with lots of heaters and the vibe of the cute little downtown in Los Altos just adds up to the experience. The skeptical me opened ti menu to be surprised to see an actual fusion Indian menu with lots of favorite ingredients. Gobi - we started with cauliflower in rice flour( it's gluten free) and it was sooo crispy. Reminded me of the gobi my mom does. The spicy mayo( eggless) was the perfect combination. Paneer pesto- I was curious. The taste was similar to any Indian green chutney. But the panneer was perfectly cooked and the sauces that came along are just amazing as they look. My partner had a nice wine and he really liked it. We ordered biryani which came in an open bowl, a little oily to my taste. It was flavourful and tasty though. Would've been a 4/5 if not for the full presentation and the oil. So, I would give it a 3.5/5 Apricot kofta - this was a miss for me. The gravy is rich and the kofta is well fried. But, the apricots and the taste from them was no where to be found. The butter naan that came as a side(you pay separately) had very little butter. Though it was cooked to perfection, a small spoon of butter would've made wonders. The staff is super helpful and the service was quick. Presentation is curated and appetising. Chocolate rasamalai - it was a familiar taste. But the chop ate balanced the overtly sweet rasmalai and I liked the combination. Tiramisu - this was a miss for us. Both of us did not like the tiramisu and the gulabjamun that came along. Overall, a good experience and perfect place for date nights!“

“Very good taste. Tried Malai Kofta, Saag, Chana masala with Onion Kulcha, Rice and Garlic naan. Too good. Chana masala was less salty which you can pour on the top but wonderfully cooked.How can I forget complementary Bhajis. Thanks a lot.Yummy!“

“Very good Indian food and cocktails. Not completely typical north Indian food but not crazy innovation like at Rooh which is weird. Enjoyed the food here.Vegetarian options: As an Indian restaurant there are quite a few vegetarian dishes.Parking: There is a large parking garage a few blocks away.“

“My partner and I stopped by for lunch and were impressed! The restaurant's prices are worth the quality of food and service. The appetizers were fresh and served with flavorful chutneys. The curries were generously sized and tasted rich and delicious. The garlic naan was tasty if a bit fried. And the entire lunch special is only $20 on weekdays!Vegetarian options: The weekday lunch special has a few vegetarian curries“

“Freddie is the best!!!! He deserves a promotion! Loved his personality and service, even though he was not our server.Overall, went here during happy hours. Tandoori wings were very juicy, great French gimlet for a drink (not sweet). Definitely recommend both. Paneer tikka and chicken Saagwala was great too!“

“It’s a goto restaurant for Indian food. They provide both veg and non veg options. The biriyani’s are good usually they have lot of South Indian dishes on the menu.During peak hours the food taste is not the same biriyani tastes like fried rice. But otherwise it’s a good place when it’s not crowded and not all tables are occupied.Take aways are mostly good!“

“Excellent salad bowls clearly prepared by folks who care about providing healthy delicious meals. Came across this place when the owner posted on Nextdoor this weekend. Ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived in great condition. The bowls were very well prepared per our instructions and they even put cute little hearts on the boxes which my wife adored. The owner truly cares about providing the customers a great experience.The bowls were very tasty and portion size was very good. The chicken was perfect, and the sauces (makhani and chaat) were super tasty as well. The waffle egg in a heart shape was not only novel but very appetizing as well. This is a very novel concept and we are big fans. We will certainly order regularly!“

“I love Indian food and I wish I had tried this place sooner! It's a small restaurant right off El Camino and the 92 West entrance. There is street parking and Yelp claims there is a private lot but I'm not sure where it is. I was in the area and decided to get two curries to go. I ordered the chicken korma and the mattar paneer. It took about 20 minutes for the food. Both curries came with a nice container of rice which was great. I really liked both dishes. The dishes were oily but I like my curries oily since you know there's a lot of fat and flavor. I asked for mild spice for both and I felt like both were a bit on the spicier side (but yummy), so I'm curious how medium+ will taste! Both dishes were creamy and had the right flavors I was looking for. They were also perfectly salted as well. My spouse also thought the food was delicious as well and he's usually pretty neutral towards food. I would love to come back and try some of the other curries too!“

“We came here for our valentine's dinner on the day before Valentine's day. Definitely need to reserve before going. Ambience is great as always. Service could be better, there were no pleasantries, was hard to catch hold of a waiter and the dishes took forever to come. This time we tried the tandoori chicken bomba, paneer pinwheel with some naans. The Bomba was interesting and the paneer pinwheel was amazing. You can definitely come here for a special occasion as it is on the pricier side.“

“Authentic taste with great experience.We ordered Mysore masala dosa , podi idli and Madras dosa. Crispy tasty and real podi chutney.Although sambhar is not spicy at all and it has more sweet taste. Sambhar didn't had drumsticks and masala as it is supposed to be authentically.Chutneys are definitely tasty.Also like their buttermilk specially the fresh fragrance and taste of curry leaves.We had take out yesterday and uttapam is great too.Even samosa were crunchy and imli chutney is damn tasty.“

“if I could give this place 10 stars I would ! We felt very welcomed , My man & I had the best experience with both the owner Armin & our bartender/server Annette ! As a server I know good service and Annette just was the best person to take care of us in such a long time & truly helped us make our night so fun and special ! It was our anniversary and out of all the places we visited THIS IS BY FAR THE BEST SERVICE WE EXPERIENCED! The ambiance was great, drinks & food was just perfect . We will definitely be coming back next time we are in the area !“
