Indian Restaurants near Carmichael

“The food is really good. We tried many things on the menu. I really like the kabobs and daal with rice and garlic naan bread. The service was really good/friendly. Everything seems made to order and fresh. The ambiance is very traditional. Went there two days in a row.“

“Great Department Store.“

“New Owners! Delicious Persian and Pakistani (alternate pages of menu). We had their paneer appetizer). It had big cubes of soft Pakistani cheese in a tomato based cream sauce with finely chopped ginger. Fabulous. We also enjoyed a grilled eggplant with a Persian yogurt cultured from sheep and goat milks. The butter chicken was exceptional: he grills his chicken, chops it, then adds the juicy chunks of meat into his delectable sauce. His ground beef kabob was juicy and tender. I enjoyed an inhouse, freshly made mango lassi. Wow! We have enough leftover to enjoy a shared lunch tomorrow.“

“the fresh, cooked to order food. tender chicken, full spice flavors...loved it , I give it 5, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s“

“Hands down, the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Great portion sizes, and flavorful as heck. Had some Tikka Masala that was fantastic and a pizza naan stuffed with cheese. Excellent service and free dessert! Amazing experience. You Should Eat Here!!!!“

“High quality Indian buffet, full of flavor and with great variety. Naan is made to order, so it is fresh and delicious but you may want to call ahead as it can take 7-10 minutes to make.

I have been coming here 1-2 times a week since I discovered it and have yet to have a bad experience. The staff are attentive and polite and the owner often comes out to ask if we are enjoying the meal.

For $13, the lunch buffet is an incredible deal.

They have plenty of vegetarian options and a variety of beverages that are included with the buffet.“

“Great food, we loved the pan fried chicken momo's. Also chicken curry was awesome with egg or shrimp fried rice. 👌“

“Whenever we come here, we’re attended to with the utmost care. The service is always wonderful, the food is amazing and truly authentic, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It’s such a family-friendly restaurant, and we always leave happy.“

“We have searched so many Indian restaurants. This is by far the best tasting food outside of India. Anjoo is still talking about her Chole bhatura. Everything is made from the love of taste. Five out of five stars. I dare anyone after tasting the food to say anywhere outside of India is better prepared.“

“I had a wonderful experience at this Indian buffet. The food was fresh, flavorful, and had a great variety of options. Each dish was well-prepared and tasted authentic. The service was excellent—staff were attentive, welcoming, and made sure everything went smoothly during my visit. The atmosphere was comfortable and inviting, making it an all-around enjoyable dining experience. I’ll definitely be coming back and highly recommend this spot to anyone who enjoys quality Indian food and great service.“

“Tried the weekend buffet. Very tasty and fresh. Was quite busy so took a bit to refill the buffet. Overall everything was delicious and lots of variety. Staff was friendly but tend to be soft spoken so hard to hear when busy. Food was a bit spicy but overall delicious. Clean and bright restaurant.“

“Very delicious food and fantastic Costomer service!! We came here to celebrate my sons birthday and we loved every bit of it.“

“Best Punjabi food, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan so tasty“

“Alhamdulilah good food and friendly staff“

“Tasty food I recommend 👌👌“

“This is our first time to this new (to us) restaurant in Fair Oaks. All 4 dishes that we ordered were excellent. We will definitely be back!“

“Excellent authentic taste. Highly recommend“

“First time here and I’ll be back! Beef kabab was tender and flavorful, with house-made sauces that make the rice sing. Hospitable staff, complimentary tea if you dine in, and overall—delicious! Hot tip: order online if you’re in a rush, kababs take time. Extra bonus: it’s a family-run spot, not a chain, so every bite supports local.“

“Love this place. Not much to look at inside but great food. Combo of Mexican and Indian food. I have had the burritos, tacos, quesadillas, french fries, samosas with yummy sauces, and chicken tiki masala (available on weekends) and have never been disappointed. The prices are reasonable too.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Delicious food. I eat it every time I’m in town 🥰“

“Tried Bollywood pizza after hearing about it from friends, and ordered the butter chicken pizza. The crust is pretty good and the pizza was flavourful. I’d say that the butter chicken flavour could have been incorporated even more, but everything else was pretty good! Asked for a lassi, but they sadly didn’t have any.“

“🥟🥟🥟 Clay Oven Indian Cuisine – Orangevale 🥟🥟🥟

If you’re looking for the BEST Indian food in Orangevale, look no further than Clay Oven Indian Cuisine (8807 Greenback Ln, Orangevale, CA 95662)! This new gem is absolutely amazing, and the Punjabi owners are a delight to meet. Priya, the manager, goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. 🌟

We started with the samosas, and wow – they were on another level! Hot and crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced filling inside, and that magical “time release” effect where the flavor hits you a few seconds after the first bite… OMG, pure heaven! 🥟✨

Next up, the Aloo tikis – so good I finished two in one go! 🥟🔥 And let me just say, the Tamarind sauce deserves an Oscar award 🎬🏆 – tangy, rich, and the perfect complement to every bite.

To end on a sweet note, we tried the Mango Lassi 🥭🥤 – creamy, refreshing, and absolutely hit it out of the park. Each dish was so authentic it reminded me of the dhabas back in Punjab! 🇮🇳💛

I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Please do yourself a favor and check out this amazing local restaurant. Best Indian food in Orangevale, hands down! 🥟🔥🥟🔥🥟“

“The food was very delicious.“

“I came here for a bday party last year. The staff was very friendly and attentive, the food was great, and the restaurant had a cozy/family vibe. My best friend is here from out of state and she wanted Tikka Masala. Once again, Kathmandu Kitchen did not disappoint. I love the Butter Chicken as well. I don't think you could go wrong eating here. Love supporting small businesses! Thanks New Kathmandu Kitchen 😃“

“Beef curry, polaw, Bangladeshi dishes is sooo good� I really enjoyed it �“

“Food was delicious and authentic. Spices were on point, chicken was tender and juicy, samosas were spiced with great thought and care. Presentation was delightful. Interior was a bit clashy since it had look of old location mixed with new designs. Seats looked like they came from a wedding. Chandelier was missing 3-4 beads so looked off-putting. Window curtains were too flashy would be better with rolling blinds. Decorations did not have an appeal. A mural done by a local middle eastern college student could really showcase better. Wood paneling needs to go along with booths since they looked old and worn-down. Buffet food looked delicious, but needs a sneeze guard. Cashier table was in the back with unused buffet area and too much cluttering of tables. Dirty dishes in a tub should never be visible or left next to buffet. Salad should be on top of a bed of ice to ensure temp. Clutter at cash register needs to be out of sight. Spiced tea was delicious along with serving of water. Floor was clean though could use a buffering. Wiring visible and signs old and not mounted properly. Foiled upper design was interesting. 3 TV's mounted that were too close together and not being used. Lights changing too fast and blinking giving more of a party vibe than a restaurant. Beautiful couch but with leg missing in a corner was not necessary. Speakers should be put away until their use. Lots of improvement needed for front interior, but with the food being delicious and mouthwatering, I will definitely come back hungry for more.“

“I don't even know what to say about Namaste foods other than I've never had anything that I didn't like from there. the food tastes wonderful. I was just at Sac Yard brewing where your truck was and had the samosas and the butter chicken fries and everything was hot fresh and tasty. the food is very gourmet tasting. fresh, hot and very well prepared!! I actually like it better than some of the fine establishments I've been to here locally. that's the best I can say to describe this truck. in this day and age of restaurants not seeming to care about their product this is a welcomed port in the proverbial storm! thank you Namaste Foods for caring! ❤️“

“I always enjoy their cooking. Besides the food, I like the friendly staff! I recommend dining with them.“

“This place is legit. Everything we had was fantastic: Curry Chicken Masala Pizza Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza Masala Chips Desi Garlic Sticks Chocolate Chip Cookie“

“Fantastic Korma! Love the Saag Paneer! We will most definitely be coming back!“

“This place is so good. The spicy 🌶 is just right and they have a lot of options. Their beers are great. The lamb is cooked perfectly and their priced right. I always enjoy eating their food.“

“For a little hole in the wall place the Food was good, very friendly staff. I went early in the morning around 7am I think and not many people. The only thing I didn't like was that you can't order lunch in the morning I guess I got used to that at other places. I worked overnight and would get off around 7am and wanted lunch or dinner not breakfast. And I really wanted to try their curry dishes and they didn't have a Curry option for breakfast. But the breakfast was good,will definitely try it again.“

“Love the lunch combo!All the dishes are cooked to perfection!Awesome service!“

“I had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of rich, authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, from the naan to the curries. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and put care into every dish. The staff was friendly and welcoming too, which made the meal even better. Highly recommended if you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying Indian meal!“

“Wonderful family‑owned spot with delicious Indian food and sweets. What made my first visit even better was the warm, genuine welcome from the mother‑and‑daughter team. Such a lovely experience — I’ll definitely be back for more.

If you want it to sound more enthusiastic, more formal, or more casual, I can tweak it.“

“I've passed by this place many times but never went in. One day I got a coupon in the mail and was intrigued. Prices are good. And they serve Indian food too, what?!? I had to try it. And ya know what? I was not disappointed. The decor has that old school diner vibe. The people are nice. And the butter chicken I had was very creamy and tasty. Though this isn't a fancy hip new joint, it's fun to have Indian food in a place called country kitchen. For that I'll give it all the stars.“

“Best food! Mashallah...Fun to go with family... delicious karahi chicken... chana masala & chicken Biryani“

“food is delicious an the service is great ill be back soon 😋“
