I love what they're doing here. The food is insanely good and I think the ordering system is brilliant—allowing for less food waste and an expansive menu. My wife also wants to point out that it was ready promptly. Tbh it could have been an hour late and I still would have given in 5 stars.

This has got to be some of the best Indian food I've ever had. My friends and I tried a lot of dishes and each one of them was completely delicious. Highly recommend!

Munch is excellent. An absolute must among East Bay restaurants. The spice was so well balanced, the meat tender and cooked perfectly. We walked in and ordered to-go ~20min wait and worth every minute. Not sure if there's a seating area inside -If no, that would be the only thing this place is missing. Great conversation with who I'm assuming is the owner. Apologies not getting your name sir but my girlfriend and I will undoubtedly be back in no time at all.

This place is to-go only since the pandemic. Ordered butter chicken and lamb kabob, they were both incredibly tasty and felt like homemade. Only complaint is that the mango lassi was overly sweet IMO.

I used to go to their food truck ages ago and loved their food. When they stopped coming, I heard they had opened a restaurant back in 2018. Unfortunately I found out that this is now just a takeout only operation and you MUST pre-order by 12PM the day you want your food.

When we came to pick up, the owner came and talked to us and told us that the reason they had closed was because someone notorious for targeting mom and pop operations sued them for $40k over an inaccessible bathroom and because they either couldn’t fix the issue in their current space or couldn’t afford to move to another location, they had to pivot their business model. Because of the new model, they are just breaking even with bills, so please support them in any way they can!

The food was DELICIOUS! My partner and I ordered a bunch of stuff for her birthday and we were happy with every dish. The Bombay Chicken and the Samosas were so tasty and spiced differently than a lot of other places in the East Bay, setting Munch India apart. My partner said it reminded her of how her food was spiced when she lived in India. We will be back to try more!

Some of the best Indian food I've had in my life. It's a little complicated-- you either have to order well ahead of time or walk in for their modest take out menu, which has like only 5 items or so. And then after you walk in, it takes another 20 min or so( it's a tiny place, no seating). But everything we got was exceptional---

Food looks good but when I called to place an order I was redirected to a web site and restricted from placing an order that same day. I placed an order from another place that had it ready to pick up in 5 minutes.

The Bombay butter chicken was reallyyy good ?? the chicken was tender and sauce was delicious - the best butter chicken I’ve had in the US so far! But I had to leave 3 stars because everything else was just okay. I had the samosa, chana dal, basmati pulao, & garlic naan. The garlic naan was the biggest let down ?? it was too thick (like pizza dough instead of the thin, flaky naan dough) & had big chunks of garlic on top, so the garlic flavor was unpleasant & overwhelming ??. The people seemed really nice though.

Consistently late. Today they are 45+ minutes late on an order they wanted us to place on advance. The food is good, but I don’t like waiting for food when so many other places want my business.

The place is tiny. The food is excellent although the menu is changing seems daily. There is no buffet so I do not know why it is listed under buffet.

If you want the finest cuisine from all the regions of India, Munch is the place to go. Chef Afroza is probably the foremost expert in this regional gastronomy that one could find in this country. Don't miss it! You are in for a treat & an unforgettable experience!
