“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.“

“It was my first time here, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. We ordered a variety of dishes, including dhai bata dev puri, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, kulchas (onion and paneer), chole masala, and kadai paneer. The service was excellent, and the food was simply amazing. The meat was tender and flavorful, while the chaat was a delightful burst of taste. The kulchas were soft and fluffy, and the butter chicken was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience.“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“Excellent service by Raj and his team. Food was fresh and authentic. Loved the presentation and cuisine“

“Food is good here, so far attended party and quality seems maintained. Most of the areas are clean but near the buffet are very sticky . It wa 100 people party and restaurant was closed for party but they only have 3 staff maintaining things and which created lots of left over dishes and food on table and floor . There was no arrangement to dispose dirty dishes and asked to leave it on table. Sound system is ok . Took little long time to refill may be due to less staff .
Overall it was ok experience and stars are mainly for food .
Park is there but space is very small for SUV and 100% your next door car will hit you while opening and closing the door ..so be careful“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“Outstanding tasty and unusual Indian Fare. The vegetarian dishes were exceptional (except cauliflower, which was average). Service was wonderful and Jacob was particularly helpful. Amongst the best Indian we have had in the east bay. Slightly noisy“

“The food was absolutely scrumptious! Every dish was full of flavor and cooked to perfection.
Food was so good taking pictures was a secondary thought after we all had a couple bites. I highly recommend trying the Chicken 65 — it was crispy, spicy, and downright delicious.“

“Great authentic bengali food presented In a home style and cozy manner. owners r very friendly. Their Illish macher jhol is to die for. I have been there 10+ time and their food makes me happy all the time.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a wonderful dining experience! The food was absolutely delicious and full of authentic flavor. The dosa was excellent, especially the benne dosa, which was perfectly prepared. The Kesari was outstanding — one of the best we have had.

We also loved the onion samosa, sambar, and the filter coffee, which was very addictive and refreshing. Some other dishes that would be great additions to the menu are Medu Vada, Pongal, Chinna Vengaya (small onion) sambar, Sambar rice, Idly, and Pakora dipped in sambar idly — these would make the menu even more amazing.

The staff were extremely helpful, friendly, and attentive, making the whole experience even better. Overall, it was a fantastic meal and we truly enjoyed it. Highly recommended for anyone who loves authentic South Indian food!“

“We came here for lunch. The karvepaku chicken is good. The Naga special curry is very good. It tasted like chettinadu chicken but not chettinadu. The garlic naan and butter were cooked well. The rose soda was amazing. My daughter loved it. The service was great and adjusted the spice as requested. Overall like ved the food and service. Will come back again !“

“The food was awesome, heavenly,
stupendous piping hot and sizzling. The Butter Masala Dosa arrived with that perfect golden arrogance — crackling crisp outside, soft and yellow masala inside, tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares. One dunk into the coconut chutney and you know resistance is futile. Pair it with their filter coffee and suddenly “just a snack” turns into a spiritually satisfying meal. 😋☕“

“Idly Express Fremont is not just a takeout spot — it genuinely feels like an emotion ❤️

Kumaresan Anna and Yoshika bring so much warmth every single day. You can feel their happiness in what they do, and it naturally spreads to everyone who walks in.

Aditya and Jugesh are always caring, greeting customers with a calm, quiet smile that makes you feel comfortable and welcomed without saying much. And Hameed, as always, delivers the best.

This place goes beyond food. It’s about familiar faces, simple kindness, and that feeling of comfort you don’t get everywhere. Every visit feels personal.

Idly Express Fremont isn’t just where you pick up food — it’s where you feel at home. ❤️“

“The Fish Pakora at Favorite Indian Restaurant in Hayward is always fresh, crispy, and bursting with flavor. A must-try appetizer that pairs perfectly with their chutneys“

“Food is always amazing. All the snacks are made fresh daily.“

“Visited one evening with friends after reading reviews online, and I wasn't disappointed at all. The biryani for sure is the best in Bay area. The mandi reminded me of the mandi at Barkas area in Hyderabad and the chicken 65 and chicken Majestic that I order as take away for my room mate was also amazing.

The owners are friendly and open to suggestions, I happened to meet them. I would like them to open a bigger place, it seems popular and can get very busy so I think a bigger place might help.“

“I went to kabila's with a party of 8 the food was served buffet style , and everything was good. when we went to pay they refused to let us pay separately so please bring cash“

“Very good tasty food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The service was fast and the staff was great. We had chicken tiki masala, fish curry, spicy coffee and samosas. They have quite an elaborate menu. I can't wait to go back and sample more items.“

“Royal Kitchen is truly a hidden gem in the East Bay .. freshly cooked, authentic Indian food that instantly feels like home. The egg curry is a rare and absolute standout, and hands down some of the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!“

“I recently catered food from Hyderabadi Biryani House for a gathering of 20 people, and I couldn’t be more impressed. The packing was absolutely perfect—neat, secure, and kept everything hot and fresh.

Every single guest raved about the food! The spice level was just right, striking the perfect balance of flavor and heat. Their chilli chicken, fire cracking chicken, and dum biryani were truly mind-blowing—packed with authentic taste and aromatic goodness.

This is hands-down the best Indian food I’ve had in the Bay Area. Highly recommend for both catering and dine-in.“

“Back to my most favorite place to eat. Thanks to you Mr Abdul Aziz and your wife, you were upto the best as always. I have been coming to this place for last six years.Best authentic and food that tastes just like made at home. Hopefully I was staying near. I would go there every day. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Abdul for keeping this place a great one.“

“One of the good sign of simple but great clean food is look at menu options. A lot for time a place with very limited menu is the one where you would have great food quality in every food you order.

This was the case here. But keep in mind the Flavors here are Karnataka style. So you can't complain about Sambhar being on the sweeter side. Don't walk here expecting spicy food.

I tried Ponnugulu and Podi Masala Dosa and I enjoyed it thoroughly.“

“I love having my breakfast here of Idli, dosa, sambhar, vada etc. which is authentically prepared and is fresh, tasty and delicious. The chutneys are also very well prepared. They have vegetarian and vegan options. I love their coffee too.“

“This is a great place and has wonderful fresh organic vegetables.“

“The Food Is Delicious, I recommend the chicken curry they can make as spicy as you like 👌🏽😎“

“I went with my family to tandoori paradise in Hayward. The quality of food is great. Service is also admirable. Would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“The Best Indian Food ever ‼️“

“For romantic atmosphere and healthy options“

“Nice dine in place with very friendly staff.

Order at the table or with the staff who regularly check in on the food is and if anything is needed. Friendly to talk to.

Small menu focusing on kababs and rolls with paratha. The egg mutton roll is one of the best we have ever had. The tea was average - higher sugar than we like - but did the job.

Nice decor with catchy slogans all around on the walls, on the salt and pepper mills, on the napkin stand, and even in the bathroom!“

“I have been twice now and the food is really good. I had the lamb biryani and lamb tikka masala. Both times the lamb was nice and tender and the dishes were super. I have not dined in, but while waiting I could appreciate the dim lit space. Everyone there is lovely and kind. I will be dining here frequently.“
