15 Best Indian Restaurants near Clayton

“Great food 👍🏻 excellent value“

“ID Cafe Oakland is one of those hidden gems that deserves to be much better known. From the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel welcome and took the time to answer questions and provide recommendations.

The food was outstanding. The dosas were fresh, crispy, and generously filled, while the chutneys and sambar tasted authentic and full of flavor. You can tell that a lot of care goes into maintaining traditional South Indian recipes while still making the menu approachable for everyone.

What impressed us most was finding such authentic South Indian food right in downtown Oakland. It's a great option whether you're grabbing lunch during the workday or meeting friends and family for dinner. Our kids also enjoyed the meal, which is always a huge plus. Great service, authentic food, and a warm atmosphere make this one of our favorite South Indian spots in the Bay Area.“

“Food was delicious, we ordered “medium” spice and it was a little too mild for our taste so we’ll order spicy next time. Had Lamb Vindaloo, Chicken Tikka and Veggie Korma with Butter Naan and Indian Pickles, so we kept it simple. Great flavors and everything was very fresh and hot. Restaurant well lit and very pleasant decor, and service was excellent. Highly recommend.“

“Nice place for all so visit it.“

“Absolutely amazing experience at Momo and Curry! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The food was outstanding—authentic Indian and Nepali flavors that truly hit the spot. The momos were perfectly steamed and packed with flavor, and the curries were rich, aromatic, and cooked to perfection.

The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right. Portions were generous, prices were reasonable, and every dish tasted fresh and delicious.

If you’re craving genuine Indian and Nepali cuisine, Momo and Curry is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended—I’ll definitely be coming back!“

“November 13th, around 4:50 PM aimlessly walking around decovering new places to see and dine in when I stumbled upon ANARKALI ( Pakistani/Halal/Indian ) The lady who took my order made me feel like I was the only one there (even though I was for a while) She made sure I toured the restaurant/store with a light and easy futter. My order took longer than expected by her, but honestly, I watched her put my meal together, and it was not rushed... She repeatedly apologized, but honestly, I loved the dedication to the craft. Another customer came in as well as a delivery order, but she gave all of us special attention. I loved how I felt in the atmosphere as well as wonderful. The food was prepared. 5 out of 5 stars 💜💜💜💜💜 Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!!“

“honestly i came in expecting kinda standard indian food not anything special but man was i wrong the curry was so rich and i really dont know what spice blend they used but it left me scooping up ever last bit of sauce with naan even the rice was perfect fluffly not sticky at all

the chickpea appetizer thing we ordered (forget the name sorry) totally blew my mind it was crispy and spiced just right not too bland not too fiery had to get a second order to take home which felt a little embarasing but i did it anyway

the place was crowded even on a weekday which i guess tells you everything right definately gonna bring my parents here next time they visit“

“Fantastic Environment Wonderful Staff“

“Words do not describe. Harry served us today, I moved across country and came back to visit and this was the first place I stopped at being back for food and it was Better then I Remembered! The crust was perfect. The flavor. Phenomenal!. And the service? I'm going to be showing up only when Harry is on shift 😂❤“

“Just tried Tandoori Pizza for the first time and were blown away. The pizza crust is delicious, not too much sauce on the pizzas, and packed full of flavor.

We tried the Tandoori Chicken pizza and the Butter Chicken pizza. They smelled and tasted incredible. My husband said it was genuinely the best pizza he has had in years. So different yet made complete sense. This is our new pizza place now.“

“Great place to eat and enjoy a meal“

“The food is ALWAYS delicious, whether you like it spicy or mild. The first place I ever had Indian food, and I’m so spoiled now - anywhere else we go, it’s usually, “...well, that was ok...but it wasn’t Saroor!” 😛🇮🇳🧡🤍💚“

“Great food, service and ambience in downtown Concord. Decent selection of wines and beers. Went with a friend for a $20 buffet lunch. Good selection of curries includes goat curry and fish in addition to chicken. Plenty of salad options. Very good naan bread. Ample parking. Only downside is they charge a 3% convenience fee for using a credit card which you don't find out until after you pay your bill. Hence 4 stars. But overall, a nice clean and well-appointed place with enough space between tables for a private lunch/meeting. It's quiet enough and the staff is attentive and friendly.“

“The grill platter was yummy with the tamarind sauce! It gave our family a chance to taste the authentic grilled Pakistani delights. The goat curry was so good, tender and flavorful. It reminded my husband of home food!. Thank you Sam for the gustatory experience.“
