44 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.“

The staff made us feel like honored guests, checking in at just the right times and offering great recommendations.

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.“

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

“We cannot thank Raj, Wife, and Nick enough for making Samantha’s Quinceañera absolutely beautiful and unforgettable.

The venue looked breathtaking, the decorations were stunning, and the LED screens throughout the venue created such an incredible WOW factor for all of our guests. The Photo Booth, LED DJ backdrop area, lighting, smoke effects, sparks, and every detail made the event feel elegant, luxurious, and so special.

And the food… AMAZING. The Mexican food exceeded all expectations and our guests could not stop complimenting it all night.

What truly stood out was the professionalism, kindness, attention to detail, and exceptional service from beginning to end. Everything was organized perfectly and they made the entire process feel completely stress-free.

Our guests are still talking about how beautiful everything was. We are beyond grateful for the unforgettable memories they helped create for our family. Highly recommend this amazing team and venue!!!“

“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.“

“100% recommend!! Pippal is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in the Bay! We've been regulars at Pippal since they opened, and it's one of those places we look forward to coming back to as often as possible.

Today we got to try their Mediterranean collaboration (available for the month of June), sharing the family-style meal alongside the Journey Through the Mediterranean platter. It was such a fun way to experience a different side of the kitchen. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I hope they consider running this collaboration again in the future!

But if it's your first visit, we have to mention the dishes that made us fall in love with Pippal in the first place. Our standing order is usually the chicken momo, gangura chicken, vada pao sliders, butter chicken, and plenty of chili garlic naan to soak up every last bit of sauce.

What has kept us coming back all these years is the quality and consistency. Every visit, the food is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and always delicious! The cocktails are also consistently creative and yummy!

The service is always wonderful! Truly, that's a big part of why we keep coming back. The staff always make us feel welcome! And it's been a pleasure to get to know them too.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the whole experience is special enough for a celebration and comfortable enough for a more casual Friday night dinner. We love it! The location is great, and we often come here before or after going to the movies at the AMC or shopping at Tokyo Central, both of which are just a few steps away.“

“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. 👍“

“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.“

“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“

“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.“

“I have come here a couple times to take out Kulchas and Parathas. The quality is extremely good and breads are tasty and hot and cooked through. The pricing is very good and the service has always been very friendly. I have yet to try any of the food yet but plan to do so because the menu looks super interesting. Probably“

“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.“

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

“Lovely, fresh, cheerful, simple, spotlessly clean, inexpensive South Indian spot on Telegraph. I tried the Idli Vada Combo with sambar and coconut chutney, and a cup of chai. The sambar was nice and everything was so fresh! The vada was extra light and crunchy. I'll be back for the thayirsadam when I'm a bit hungrier! Check it out!“

“Two of our party (not me) had the chef's tasting menu. It was an amazing value--an incredible amount and variety of food, and they thought it was really high quality. I had a chicken curry that was delicious and satisfying. The staff were very nice but maybe a little overworked.“

“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.“

“If you are looking for authentic, mouth-watering North Indian food, Flavor of India North Cuisine is an absolute must-visit.

The moment you walk in, the great ambience and super friendly staff make you feel right at home.
Their Monday Lunch Thali is hands-down the best deal around—perfectly balanced, filling, and delicious. You also can't miss the appetizers; the samosas are fresh, crispy, and honestly the best I've had in years.

On top of the incredible food, the place is immaculate (even the restroom is spotlessly clean). Highly recommended!“

“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!“

“We had pani puri, dahi puri, wai wai sadeko, and the goat thali, and everything was absolutely delicious. The pani puri was fresh and flavorful, the dahi puri was perfectly balanced and creamy, and the wai wai sadeko had the right amount of spice and tang. The goat thali was the highlight rich in flavor, well-cooked, and very satisfying. Overall, the food tasted authentic and fresh, and the experience was excellent. Highly recommend this place. We will definitely back“

“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.

My taste buds thank you munch india!“

“Excellent food good and fast service.“

“I’ve been coming to Kabana since 1999, and it continues to be one of my favorite spots. Over the years I must have eaten here at least 50 times, and the food has never disappointed. My go-to dishes are the aloo matar, chicken karahi, and the fish—all consistently flavorful and well prepared. It’s one of those places you can keep coming back to for decades and still enjoy just as much. Highly recommended“

“5/5 no doubt, the food is so good! I had butter chicken with mint rice. Came in large portion, the chicken was tender and flavorful, could taste the layering of flavor and texture, very impressive! I especially like their rice, cooked just right.“

“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...“

“Cozy dim lit environment with authentic flavor. The cuisine is always on the richer side when it comes to flavor. The authenticity is worthy of elevated attention and the taste deserves to be experienced. My go to is the tandoori chicken, always seasoned to perfection. The lentil soup is my wife’s favorite and even I cannot refuse a bowl. Overall the service and food is top notch. Hospitality and flavors galore.“

“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.“

“Always delicious Indian food! My family and I always come here when we are in the neighborhood. Maude and Rosemarie are very gracious hosts. I highly recommend this restaurant seven days a week. :)“
