“I’m punjabi and this is authentic punjabi food - we got rogan josh - yumm
the surprise was the hyderabadi vegetable mix w apricots - delicious

the naan was my fav coz i’m so picky about naans. It’s light but not too light. Naan should have some weight to it and the flakiness comes from the top crust.

Gavin was our server and delightful and attentive. Can’t wait to to back“

“A rather odd place. First of all, the tandoori chicken and the palak paneer were fantastic – the best I’ve ever had, I think. However, the naan (we got plain and garlic) was the worst I have ever had. Think thin, bad pizza dough. The basmati rice was alright. Service was friendly but a bit slow and scattered. The women’s bathroom was dirty enough that I decided to wait until I got back home. The tension on the door to the women’s bathroom was set so high that the door slammed into me quite hard.“

“Tiya is hands down the best Indian restaurant in the Bay Area. The food is exceptional, the atmosphere is beautiful, and the staff genuinely make the entire experience feel special.

And the cocktails are in a league of their own. Izler Thomas is easily one of the best bartenders in the Bay Area, incredibly creative, thoughtful, and technically brilliant. Every drink feels like it has a story behind it, and the execution is flawless.

From the food to the cocktails to the hospitality, Tiya gets everything right. I’ve tried plenty of the other highly regarded Indian restaurants around the Bay, including Copra, and for me it’s not even close. Tiya is the one. Cannot recommend it enough.“

“Our experience at Copra was memorable due to the high quality and creativity of the food and excellent personal service. Everything we ordered felt like a labor of love from the kitchen, and our server Antonio was warm, helpful, and a true professional. The dosa and accompaniments and the rasam poori were just so much fun to eat, so flavorful and surprising. We especially loved the bone marrow, with plenty of parotta to dredge in the gravy - decadent and delicious. "VOD" vegetables of the day and beet salad were excellent. The flavors and textures of "Gods Own" Coconut Variation were a delightful cap to our meal.“

“Hey there foodie friends, Guess what? I just had the most delicious and authentic North Indian food during my visit to San Francisco! I never expected to find such yummy flavors in the USA. From buttery naan to spicy curries, my taste buds were dancing with joy! If you ever get the chance, you HAVE to try it out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Keep on adventuring and trying new things!“

“Best Indian cuisine in all of Berkeley, do yourself a favor and stop in! great people, great food, a real gem in the city.“

“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!“

“It’s a good restaurant with good food; however, the service could be better. We were celebrating a birthday and had requested whether the complimentary celebration dessert could be changed from ice cream to something else, as the birthday person was dealing with a sore throat. Unfortunately, they declined the request. I believe they could have handled the situation with a little more thoughtfulness and flexibility, especially given that it was a birthday celebration and we are anyway paying super high prices for super small portions. Their dahi puri and paneer pinwheel were good.“

“love this place. Food is fresh and delicious. Owner is also very hospitable and always greets us with a warm 😃“

“Amazing restaurant with delicious food, great atmosphere, and outstanding customer service. The staff was incredibly friendly, attentive, and welcoming throughout our visit. Special thanks to the owner for being so kind and making sure every guest feels valued and comfortable. You can truly see the passion and care they put into both the food and customer experience. Highly recommended, and we will definitely be coming back again!“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“It’s my first time getting Indian food in San Francisco, and I was very satisfied with eating at Noe Indian Cuisine.

Our server Subi was very friendly, kind, and sweet. The food (samosa, chicken tikka masala, chicken biriyani, naan) was all delicious and freshly cooked. The two of us really enjoyed all of the food and had nothing left on our plates.

We will definitely come back soon in the future.“

“I went at 8:10PM (20 minutes before closing), and they treated me so kindly and let me stay and eat past the closing time. I had a great experience because not only was the food delicious, so was the service, ambiance, and treatment. The food is 100% made with love and you can taste it.“

“Our favorite Indian food in San Francisco. They truly go above and beyond for their customers and their food is always delicious. They forgot to add my Naan into my Togo bag this evening and personally drove it to my house to make sure that we were able to enjoy it with our meal. Have eaten in house a few times with my in laws and their table side service is just as attentive.

Their Chicken Lolipops (appetizer version) or the Chicken 65 (entree version) are always a must/go to especially when we bring our family and friends!“

“Delicious Food and Great Service! Had the Samosas and the Momos to eat and paired with the ABCD and Rose Water cocktails and the flavors really complimented themselves. Didn’t take any photos cause I devoured everything too quickly. Go in and try it for yourself“

The service was excellent as well. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

The restaurant is also very clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.

“Great food and service, I would like to explore more from the menu“

“$120 for 3 people including tax+tip, this is a very nice spot and great location, don't come here if you're in a hurry though the service and food was a little slow haha. The smashed samosas were so good! Also really liked the chicken dumpling tikka masala“

“Grabbed a quick bite to eat with my husband, we had some Mango Lassi smoothies and chicken samosas. DELICIOUS!“

“First time here and we absolutely loved it! The food was so delicious, and our server Navi was incredibly nice, friendly, and attentive. She made our experience even better. Everything was great, and we’ll definitely be coming back! Highly recommend!“

“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!“

“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“

“Very nice place, my family came here for late night cravings and did not leave disappointed. Such amazing food everything looked great, I had the vegetarian malifa kalfi, to mention they also had a great amount of vegetarian options, I couldn't get enough of my food it was delicious, the Britain looked great, and the Haan wasn't to soft to be chewy and weird and not so hard to be burnt and unjoyable but it was perfectly cooked to pair with rice and curry. Dont know how to share pictures but if I did you would be blessed by how good it looked, tasted so so good, again the malai kofta was MIND BLOWING, great food and even better service, the owner and server was so kind and giving,“

“The chaat at Chandni Chowk was amazing! 😍 It was fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect mix of spicy, tangy, sweet, and crunchy flavors. Everything tasted so good and authentic. The portion was great, the presentation was nice, and the place was clean. Loved the food and the friendly service. Definitely a great spot for chaat lovers! 🌶❤“

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

“The butter paneer is excellent! I also really enjoyed the mango chicken tikka. The interior is really nice, recommend checking it out for a meal in.

Request to the restaurant - possible to mark on for each dish on the menu which ones have gluten and which ones are gluten free?“

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! The vindaloo, tikka masala, and butter chicken are spiced to perfection and the sauces are a beautiful consistency. The space is always clean and quiet, with a big window. Service is quick and attentive.“

“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 :)“

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

“Su personal y su comida está deliciosa y accesible sus precios están bastante cómodos está muy rica su comida“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“Excellent food and friendly service!!!“

“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.“

“Recently moved to the area, been searching for a spot that made a good chicken tikka masala and this place knocks it out of the park! Seriously so good. Good portion, good sauce, if you don’t like spicy order the mild. I ordered medium and it’s a bit spicy! Cant complain, just a heads up. The butter naan is soooo good, really ties it all together. Wish it was a fragrant white rice but can’t go wrong with plain white rice as a base. Highly recommend this spot for chicken tikka masala!!!“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“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.“

“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“

“I have been getting take outs from them for sometime now . Whatever u order usually comes out great . M a simple guy i dont like to change much of what i eat but the one time i felt adventurous and tried their malai chicken i thank god that i was able to do that cause it was just amazing and the flavors made me almost cry it is a literal perfection of the food i grew up eating . thanks a lot please keep cooking yummy food like this“
