45 Best Indian Restaurants near Alameda

“I went to the post office next door and decided to go in to buy some curry to make chicken with curry, and I found a small restaurant there. I decided to have lunch there; the food was typically Indian, with Indian spices. For my palate, it was strong because it was spicy, and I have stomach problems with spicy food. For those who like well-made and clean homemade Indian food, I recommend the place; it's clean, the food is clean, and the preparation is clean.“

“Really friendly staff and tasty food. I will go again when in the area again.“

“This is the best South Asian cuisine I have had outside of my home. The food actually tastes authentic and not watered down for people who do not like spicy food. The goat biryani, chicken biryani, and goat karahi were excellent. If you are in the Oakland area, you have to try this place out!“

“Absolutely outstanding experience! This Indian restaurant is a true gem in Las Vegas. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was beyond exceptional — warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. The staff made us feel like honored guests, checking in at just the right times and offering great recommendations.
The food was phenomenal: rich flavors, perfectly balanced spices, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. Every dish was fresh, authentic, and beautifully presented. You can really tell they care deeply about both the cuisine and the customer experience.
Between the incredible food, inviting atmosphere, and hands-down the best hospitality we’ve experienced, this place stands out as one of the best Indian restaurants in Vegas. Highly recommended — we will definitely be back!“

“Best In Bay area.“

“My dinner partner and I both agree that the physical atmosphere, and food were excellent. The place was almost empty on a Sunday night yet the service was mediocre. We had to keep tracking down the waiter for our hot water for the tea, box for take away, etc. Inattentive. The staff also seemed unhappy or dissatisfied with their jobs. The prices have gone up so don’t feel we got value for our money“

“Dallas has some amazing food, and I've tried a lot of dishes, but I have to give a special shoutout to the naan! It was truly one of the best I've ever had in the USA. The quality was so good, I ended up eating several pieces just because of the incredible taste and texture. I highly recommend everyone try the naan!“

“Absolutely delicious cuisines, lovely ambience, excellent customer service and friendly staff. 100% recommend!! ❤️“

“Simple the best Indian / Nepalese food I have ever had period. +20 yrs in the Bay and we are blessed with so many great options - but this place takes the cake. Service was also stellar. It is now my go-to for Indian food. Garlic Naan, Saag Paneer and Tandoori Chicken fantastic.“

“Wonderful food on a comfortable patio with very friendly staff. Thumbs up 👍🏾“

“Arvin and Puja prepare authentic Nepalese Food that is delicious. My favorites are the Palak Panner, Mixed Vegetable, and Paneer Tikamasala as I am vegetarian. The Nan and Roti are to die for. I love the down to earth homie atmosphere and friendly service. It you want good quality wholesome food in a relaxed and friendly setting, this is your place. I highly recommend Mount Everest to anyone.“

“I had a really huge family gathering here 6/26/26 and it was a great experience. The owner was very accommodating and the chef
made very very authentic afghan food. They managed to fit an insane amount of people and the space was nice, clean, and spacious. Will host all future events here!“

“7/5/25

The food was amazing! Delicious. It was expensive for an Indian restaurant. But u understand since it’s in a prime location. The staff were kind and friendly. They gave honest recommendations about what to order and the potions. I would definitely go back! :)

8/30
Been here a few times, Edward was an amazing server. And Salman (General Manager) was a wonderful host :)“

“It was the only Indian restaurant with an all day buffet or AYCE and on a Sunday that at least I could find in the Bay Area and for a reasonable price: under $25 including garlic naan (& tax.) I expected extra dishes but the dishes that were there were very tasty and filling. The hostess/server was very friendly. I was in love with the decor and the atmosphere was great with light music and a cosy feeling. Overall it’s a place I see myself going again.“

“My dosa was good. Although I was surprised at the small amount filling inside. But overall I was happy with the food. Note, they don't sell beer or wine yet, but they're cool about letting you bring your own inside & no corkage fee. 👍“

“Amazing place. We went on Wednesday for the unlimited dosa. One of Berkeleys hidden gems. The food quality is just as good (or better than India), they serve piping hot tasty fresh chutney and sambar (unlimited) with the Wednesday deal. I'll be back here many Wednesdaya for sure. Oh and Sameer was very friendly and courteous. Super guy.“

“The signature Momo dumplings were outstanding, fresh flavor with a beautiful savory sauce. Lamb shank was melt off the bone deliciousness. awesome outdoor seating & excellent friendly service“

“Yesterday I had the pleasure of walking into this family owned establishment, The environment was clean, and the people were very kind. The menu was exceptional with great prices. I got the chicken Marcella, the naan, and the salmon which was the daily special. The chicken Masala was perfectly spiced. I got the mild because I can't eat spicy food. I dipped the naan in it and it tasted perfect. The naan was big and fresh and its own separate bag, so I was able to take it home and munch on it later now the salmon was delicious. It was super crispy and juicy on the inside, and the seasoning was complementary to the fish. it was wonderful to be able to talk to the Chef and get to know the people that cooked my food. The chef that's been working there. He's on the establishment for a while and he's been cooking for over 40 years. He also told me that he is from New York, which definitely shows in his food because this Indian Pakistani restaurant is definitely authentic. I will drive an hour and a half to come back here again. Definitely would recommend them for Catering or a nice dinner date.“

“Wonderful authentic Indian cuisine served by a fine group of people.“

“This restaurant made sure I don't miss Indian food in the US. Surely gonna visit again if I am in Oakland“

“Food is good, potential to be great but currently it is extremely greasy and oily (especially the aloo gobhi and baingan bharta). Still, I recommend the spice roasted pineapple, a creative dish. Very comfortable, nice atmosphere and place to sit, and great service.“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“Everything I had here was outstanding. Their breads are a standout. Fresh and chewy and filled with garbanzo beans / flour (Chana Masala Paratha). Samosas had great texture and flavor and the chutneys were excellent. Saag Aloo was fresh and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Menu is vegan friendly but not labeled very well (online menu is a little more clear on some things but not on everything). Mixed Vegetable dish, Saag Aloo and maybe another entree or two are vegan but you'll definitely want to ask. Many of the breads are vegan (and definitely worth ordering). Yummy“

“Good food, I always like to eat over here because food are soo good and tasty, momo is best and chowmein too“

“An absolutely lovely experience. Prab, Kritika, and Srishti went above and beyond to provide fantastic service. They were able to cater to a severe gluten allergy with confidence, and happy to report no adverse reactions. The owner was welcoming and graciously inquired about our meal, sharing polite conversation. 5 star experience— the biryani was mouth watering good, as was the pan seared eggplant, cardamom gelato, and finally the mango chutney and raita, which Kritika made special as a complementary treat. Will be back over and over.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this Indian restaurant. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste. The spices were perfectly balanced, and everything was cooked to perfection. The combination of excellent cleanliness, great service, and incredibly tasty food makes this a place I would happily visit again and recommend to others.“

“Marigold has become my go to Indian spot in Temescal! The owner is an incredibly kind and welcoming woman who always takes good care of her customers. I have been obsessed with the Madras Chicken in particular. They also have a great lunch special with rice, naan, and choice of two entrees for an unbeatable price.“

“The four of us ordered three appetizers and three main dishes and they were all very delicious. They brought the appetizers first and that was good because we were getting pretty hungry. They also gave us a crispy bread with some green and red sauce on the house. We sat in a cozy booth in the corner. We will definitely check out this place again!“

“Just finished a wonderful family dinner here. Had a mix of dishes each were well-spiced and cooked perfectly. The naan was buttery soft and the garlic was freshly chopped. The restaurant was extremely clean and well-lit and the service was attentive and kind. We left with full bellies as I couldn’t stop eating one more taste and with the generous portions we have some leftovers for tomorrow I am already looking forward too! Can’t wait to try more of their dishes!“

“Fantastic & authentic yogurt rice! (The TS comes in large portions, I couldn’t finish a single large TS.)

I consider myself a bit of an Indian yogurt connoisseur, and I believe this is the closest to home-style ThayirSadam that I’ve eaten in the US :)

The owner cares a lot about the food and experience, and took time to walk me through the menu and his story. (He told me how his son painted the mural with elements from his childhood and the restaurant’s theme — that was pretty cool!)

I will be back to try the other snack items.“

“Excellent food good and fast service.“

“Really wholesome tasting food. All dishes I ordered were full of flavor and reminded us of the traditional food my family makes at home. The fragrance and taste were both really inviting. Both the vegetarian and meat dishes were delicious.

Pricing is also very good, especially for the flavorful and well made food. If you like your food spicy, ask for it. Default spice local is somewhat mild.

Will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.“

“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...“

“Great food and great drinks! Friendly staff. You have to come by and check it out.“

“THE BEST! delicious, sophisticated Indian food with burst of flavors in every bite. This is my one and only go to spot in the east bay. The owners are kind and genuine people who knows how to cook with high quality foods! They are super conscious of the ingredients used making it a truly authentic experience everything i order. My taste buds thank you munch india!“

“Really great food with a somewhat open kitchen and three small television screens playing news and sports. They have many pods from chicken biryani to paneer wraps with fries, a personal favorite of mine is the fried veg momo, another one being the paneer tikka masala with rice. The place may be small, but without doubt, I would eat this all three meals of the day and for a snack. Thank you.“

“I have been enjoying Mehak for over a year now. Since moving to the east bay I hadn't found an Indian restaurant in my area that makes butter chicken/chicken Mehkani the way I learned to love it until Mehak. This is my favorite dish and theirs is fantastic. We also enjoy the saag paneer and chana masala. The naan is delicious and such a good value that the curry comes with the rice.

Also have tried the mango lassi and kheer and enjoyed both! Best kheer I'd had in ages.

Will continue to come back.

Found through tgtg and go about once a month.“

“Excellent experience the food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and full of authentic flavor. Every dish was prepared perfectly, and the portions were generous.
