45 Best Indian Restaurants near Citrus Heights

“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.“

“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.“

“delicious food and good prices!! great customer service!!“

“We wanted a good old American breakfast and Rosie's had just that. I had chicken fried steak and eggs, hash browns and toast. And it was cooked perfectly. Cathy had pancakes and a couple eggs. Which looked yummy to and she said it was good also.
They also serve Indian food i saw on the next page. But i was having breakfast, so I'm not sure what the serve.“

“I have eaten a lot of biryani but none so like this! The rice and meat were so moist and tender. The flavors were subtle yet so vivid. I LOVED that they used actual chicken (not tenders or cubed chicken) I'm not sure the placement but I'm assuming the chicken had to be the drumstick meat bc of the texture. Extremely savory! The rice was cooked well and it was very fragrant as well as tasty. I also received a very large portion as well. The other dish was delicious, I should have requested for more spice but it was good the way it came. I am used to ordering it as a paste but this resturant makes it thick which was fun to eat. I took my food to go but saw that it was nice and clean inside. I'd definitely return just to eat here again! I'm really glad I found them!“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
An absolute gem for Indian cuisine! I ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken, and Garlic Naan—everything was incredibly delicious. The dishes came with a fragrant, flavorful rice that perfectly complemented the meal. The spices were well balanced, and every bite was rich with authentic taste.

Sanja Punjab Foods has quickly become one of my favorite spots. Whether you’re new to Indian food or already a fan, this place is a must-try. Five well-deserved stars and highly recommended!“

“From the moment we walked into Mantra, we were warmly welcomed and seated right away. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, making sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service made it even better. Mantra has a cozy, welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home. Can’t wait to come back!“

“Best Indian food I have had in years...better than restaurants I've been to in the Bay Area. Truly authentic. We had the garlic naan, butter chicken, lamb curry and palek paneer...all were outstanding...intense flavors, spice. Loved it and will definitely be back when we pass through Roseville again.“

“Super fun experience! Hindi music playing in the background, and great vegan options! Me and my daughter went and she got a mushroom veggie burger, and i just got the normal veggie burger. We also got all of the lemonades, and they were amazing! We will for sure be coming back.“

“Honestly couldn’t be better. The food is flavorful and the portions are generous. We eat primarily vegetarian: masala dosa, palak paneer, and malai kofta. The kofta in particular is amazing— they literally melt in your mouth, like little clouds of flavor. I don’t think you could go wrong here. The naan is fluffy, the dosa dough was so thin and light but generous on the filling… I really could go on. Not to mention every server we’ve had was so sweet and eager to answer questions and help.

Eat here please so that they are a huge success— they deserve it.“

“The food here is really delicious and comes out fresh and hot. The service was great. We were offered water refills, asked how everything was and if there was anything else we wanted, often. As of October 2024 I would recommend keeping your party to 4 or less people or ordering to-go because the tables/booths are fairly small. The place was very clean inside. I would definitely recommend this place.“

“Absolutely incredible food from a hidden gem!! Everything we ordered for our large group, from butter chicken to fried rice, momos, chicken chilli, baby corn manchurian, naan, chow mein was DELICIOUS. I know I’ll be craving and dreaming of these dishes regularly, and my only regret was not taking a photo before I inhaled my entire plate. Thank you for such wonderful service!!“

“This place is clean and great food excellent service.we love the delicious food. We recommend friends and family. Today we went to lunch non veg and tandoori chicken is great and went back again for dinner. Delicious“

“Great 😊 customer service delicious 😋 food 🍱“

“Delicious food with amazing service!“

“The food tastes really delicious, especially their chicken tikka masala. I also visited their lunch buffet and their menu is very promising. Lovely staff and they even provide suggestions on the dishes for customers.

Vegetarian options: They do serve vegetarian dishes and they are displayed in their menu verey clearly.“

“We were visiting the area and a friend took us here and boy are we glad she did! The food was Great, we had the Papadum, Karahi Chicken, Baingan Bharta, Garlic Naan and Cucumber Raita and everything was wonderful. Highly recommend this place to anyone that loves Indian food.“

“Wow! If I lived closer to this place my wallet would be in trouble. We were nearby at the Sac Children's Museum and stumbled across this place when looking through restaurant reviews and were so happy we did. If you are trying to decide where to eat in the area, stop and head over. Highly recommend due to the amazing food (we had the Potato Bolani, Lamb Kebab and Chicken Kebab), warm service, free tea while we waited and huge portions. Can't wait to go back.

Kid-friendliness: They had multiple high chairs and were very kind to my 2 year old -- even giving him a free lassi because it was his bday.“

“Tasty food I recommend 👌👌“

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

“The service was great and they took care of us so well! If you can’t handle spice then you can ask for mild, and the food was just delicious. The only thing that felt off was the music wasn’t playing so it felt too quiet, but it ultimately didn’t matter“

“We order Catering for all our staff once a month and the deliever the best food always. The restaurant is owned by our owners cousion, so I always had a thought that due to the owners influence we get some extra ordinary food for catering. But then I went in with my Family on one of Friday night to check the rstaurant and it was much more better when we ordered the food for Dine in. Those Sizzling Platters were just Amazing. Must Try out Place For Caterings, To Go & Dine in. The believe in perfection -Manager Redline Tires & Wheels - Roseville“

“I taste Dosa only ,Taste is very good and delicious. I never such taste earlier.“

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

“Great quality food, excellent prompt service and amazing ambiance. Enjoy“

“Fantastic food and service! Very quiet setting. Limited seating, but no one was there when we went. We had the egg curry special, chicken coconut korma, and garlic naan (2 people).

I hope this review brings them more business to fill those tables! And make sure to try the chai!“

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

“Glad to see authentic South Indian Chettinad flavors made available in Folsom. I get the same great taste as in their Pleasanton, Santa Clara and Sunnyvale restaurants. Bright ambience with sufficient menu choices for vegetarians, meat & seafood eaters alike. Service is great too.“

“Welcoming atmosphere with great service. The food was fantastic with nice variety! Kids loved it too ☺️“

“A gorgeous new place! Exceptional food quality, excellent service, and the decor is fine dining worthy.“

“The food was very delicious.“

“The proprietor exhibited exceptional hospitality by extending a complimentary dining experience for my family and me, allowing us to sample the culinary offerings prior to placing a catering order. While the initial preparation of the lamb seekh exhibited excessive saltiness, the chef promptly rectified the issue by preparing a second batch, though it still retained a slightly elevated salt content for my palate. The meal encompassed an assortment of dishes, including naan, korma, butter chicken, lamb biryani, fritters, and mango lassi. I highly recommend them and encourage you to communicate any preferences or concerns regarding the taste of your dish. They will be more than happy to remake it to your satisfaction.

“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! ❤️“

“What a great find this was. The absolute best Indian food I have ever had Service is fantastic as well!! I will absolutely be going back!“

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

“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.“

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

“We came back after their grand opening back in 2009! And what we tried was just as amazing! I ordered “fish in tikka masala sauce” which was delicious! My hubby ordered chicken in curry which he liked!
I can’t wait to come back to try their beef brain and beef soup next time!“

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