50 Best Indian Restaurants near Cupertino

“Delicious lunch, good portions“

“I visited last night with my family. She was very polite and respectful. The food was great — I ordered a medium pizza, garlic sticks, and wings. After serving, she even checked in to make sure everything was good and asked if we needed anything else. Really impressed with both the service and the food. I’ll definitely come back again!“

“Second review: This is my go-to pizza spot in Cupertino. I usually order the same pizza because it’s always consistent and done right, but today I switched it up and tried the all-meat pizza—and wow. What really stood out was the fried, crispy bacon on top. Most places just throw on ham or soft bacon, but this was next-level. The crispy bacon added so much flavor and texture and made the whole pizza incredible. Definitely a new favorite, and I’ll be ordering this again.

I love this place! The service is excellent, and the pizza is always served quickly. They really understand what pizza lovers want. They even allow you to request that the pizza box be left open, so the pizza doesn’t retain moisture. This is a long-overdue review. Thank you, Blaine, for maintaining such high quality!“

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.“

“I will be ordering from this restaurant again. ***** :-)“

“What a taste, Paramod bhaiyya! Tried the paneer peri peri sandwich and leela lasuni kheema, both were so tasty, truly finger-licking 🤌🏻

Quick suggestion: adding some ‘desi khaat’ seating outside would give proper food-truck dhaba vibes!“

“The highlight was food! We had a vegetarian buffet and food was really great which overshadowed some last minute delays and minor glitches. I would really recommend shubham halls if you want great food in your event. My suggestion would be to be in the venue atleast 2 hrs before the event to make sure the place is cleaned and decorated properly.“

“This place truly hits your cravings. The bhakri was really soft and fresh, and the fish curry felt so homely — it absolutely hit the spot. The fish was mouthwatering, perfectly spiced, and had a great crisp texture. The tomato curry was delicious as well.

We also got the prawn fry, and it was perfect. Honestly, it was a 10/10 experience. Too bad I was just visiting SF, otherwise I’d be coming here all the time!“

“Momos are delicious. 10/10. You cannot go wrong with any vegetarian momos. Be it steamed, baked in a tandoor, or saucy (Jhol).

Breads are well-made to perfection. Curry was good, nothing spectacular. I look forward to trying other curries.

The dine in experience was excruciating. We were offered the pappadam immediately after we were seated. We waited 30 minutes for the momos (appetizer) to arrive and another 40 minutes after we finished momos for the main course (1 curry & 2 naan).

While we patiently waited 60+ minutes in total for our food, there were plenty of to go orders slinging out of kitchen every 2-3 minutes. I suspect this restaurant prefers takeout (they also offer discounts for takeout if I remember correctly).“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“Great location and delicious Indian cuisine. Ambience is excellent. Menu covers wide variety of south and North Indian dishes“

“We discovered the place by accident and am glad we did. I had chhole bhature - they were savory and I loved them. Wife had seekh kabab wrap. She said it was the best she had in many years. Service by Jass was way above and beyond. Highly recommend..“

“We’ve ordered from them twice. Everything was delicious. The presentation was amazing. Even my kids enjoyed it. Especially the chicken kabobs… which my husband loves. They were so flavorful! I definitely recommend them! The owners are so kind and sweet!!! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Really enjoyed my time at Bharat Social. The vibe is fun and modern, and the food was super flavorful. The highlight for me was their Coco and Jain Burger — absolutely amazing and a must-try! Service was friendly and quick too. Definitely coming back 👍“

“Amazing food and service provided is top notch!! Aloo tikki & Malai Kofta is a must try here.

Rajan bhai(owner) gave us complimentary masala chai and it was very flavorful. I believe it’s the best you can get in the bay area.

Will surely visit again!!!“

“I came here to order a takeaway around 6.30ish.
I got spicy pav bhaji, and tried the new items a vada pav and the dabeli.
They hand a buzzer which will let you know when the order is ready.
The order was ready quickly.
The vada pav was very authentic with the dry chutney powder and the chillies. It was crispy and right amount of spicy.
The dabeli was tangy and sweet and the right combo with the crispy peanuts
The spicy amul pav bhaji was what brought me here.
The pav was loaded with butter and spices.
The bhaji was a bit large quantity and loaded with butter.
The bhaji has little heavy flavor to lavang/elaichi but was good overall.
Definitely gonna be back for the other new items“

“One of the best food I ever had in California.“

“Came to the mall to waste some time, but I was hungry. I wanted something easy, healthy and quick. I spotted the decals on the window of chicken biryani and butter chicken and it made me pause. This is a small dine in with table service or carry out place. Family run and owner. I ordered the chicken biryani. I don’t like spicy so they did mild. It was absolutely delicious. I wish I had a bigger appetite so I could order more. I highly recommend! Good for kids too because you share the meals.“

“Bday party,ordered chicken 65,Gobi Manchurian,chicken Biryani,noodles,masala chicken sandwich.Kids Best part of cakes,Matcha,lychee,Oreo boba drinks and coffee.must try f.fries!Food n Service 5/5“

“We have enjoyed Authentic Puran poli with Pure ghee, Modak and Kothimbir vadi, so many times, felt like home made dishes are served keeping the delicious taste unchanged.
Second time we took dine in experience too, which was quite satisfactory and relished the taste. Lunch thali was adequate, tasty but portion size of sweet served was very small.
Misal pav was quite tasty, kadhai paneer, bharli vangi had bhakri had authentic taste.
Its really enjoyable experience.“

“After a tiring vacation, this was exactly what we were looking for – a meal that feels homely yet festive, relaxing and soul-satisfying in every sense. Royal Thaali in Milpitas delivered just that, and then some! The bright and cheerful space was bustling with families and groups, all diving into their unlimited thalis with visible delight, and we were about to join that happy brigade.

What makes their thali special is how every element fits together like little pieces of a puzzle, each complementing the other so beautifully, or should I say, so tastefully. The meal began with a nicely churned and spiced buttermilk that arrived promptly, setting the tone for what was to come. As the server started filling all the little utensils on our plate, our appetite built up steadily, almost like watching a performance unfold before the main act.

The kala chana masala was a pleasant surprise – usually this dish comes devoid of any gravy, but here it had this thin, soup-like consistency that was lightly spiced and tasted incredibly refreshing. It paired beautifully with the accompanying kadhi, creating a harmony that was comforting and familiar. The dry paneer curry had that rustic, dhaba-like quality with minced tomatoes and onions that took me straight back to roadside eateries on highway trips.

But the show-stealer, hands down, was the aloo curry made with karela. Now, karela isn't everyone's favorite, me thinks, but the way they've incorporated it here offered a unique and pleasant bitter taste that elevated the entire dish. It was bold yet balanced, and honestly, I couldn't stop going back for more. The cabbage curry was as homely as it could be, the kind your grandmother would make on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

What really impressed me was the service – the ghee-laced phulkas and masala pooris kept coming to our table piping hot, even without us asking for them. The staff was attentive and the refills came just at the right time, making the entire experience nothing short of impeccable. There's something to be said about a restaurant where the service flows so seamlessly that you barely notice it happening.

And then came the desserts, which were truly the icing on the cake. The kheer arrived perfectly chilled, laced generously with kesar, and tasted phenomenal. Each spoonful was creamy, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweet. But what blew me away was the malai kalakand – easily the freshest I've had anywhere in the Bay Area. It was soft, milky, and had that melt-in-your-mouth quality that only comes from using the finest ingredients and making it fresh.

All in all, Royal Thaali is something you absolutely should not miss if you're in Milpitas and around.“

“We visited with friends and ordered Tandoori Veg Momo, Avocado Chaat, Garlic Naan, and Butter Chicken. The Tandoori Momo tasted rich and fresh. The Garlic Naan came soft and had a unique flavor. Everything arrived hot and well prepared. We plan to return soon with our office team.“

“Cheerful welcome greeting, seated quickly and attended to throughout a very good meal.“

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“1/24/2026

Tandoori Junction
698 W Dana St
Mountain View, CA 94041

We went for lunch on a Saturday, it's at the corner of Dana and Hope streets with parking on Hope and a city lot nearby.

It's a cozy clean table setup with more tables in a back room available. The menu may be limited compared to other places but it has all our favorites. We got the Garlic Naan, Lamb Curry and Chicken Tikka Masala; both spicy. The food took some time to bring out. Both curries were flavorfully spiced with generous amounts of protein and good heat. My Lamb was tender with no bones.

Yet another great Indian restaurant in MTV. We sat next to the kitchen and heard a lot of loud chopping. Good service, value, flavor and portions. Definitely repeatable.“

“Feel good food & atmosphere :)“

“Pav Bhaji & More is a good food truck overall.

Pav Bhaji: The Pav Bhaji is absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful, and packed with authentic spices that hit all the right notes. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had and an absolute delight for anyone craving real street-style flavors.

Portion Size and Value: The portion size is shockingly small, especially given the pricing. It’s hard to overlook how inadequate the quantity is, which really impacts the overall value for money.

Service: The service is average. While the staff are polite, there’s room for improvement in terms of efficiency and attentiveness.

Ambience: For a food truck, the ambience is impressive. The seating area is clean, well-maintained, and provides a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal outdoors.

Overall, the Pav Bhaji is exceptional, but the portion size leaves much to be desired.

Vegetarian options: Tasty vegetarian food and options“

“Was waiting to do catering from here from very long time. Finally the time had come!
We did catering for 30 ppl - Wanted to have mix of north Karnataka and malnad style food :) Ranjinj just did everything whole heartedly whatever we asked for. Food was very yummy just like home food very soothing and reminds me of Amma’s cooking. If anyone looking for Karnataka style food I highly recommend her. Every guest loved the food (I had mix crowd from almost every part of India) they all loved every item. It was a super hit event mainly due to the lips smacking food :)“

“Overall it was an excellent experience. We had the Sufi Kaju chicken (was good) and butter chicken (was good). For starters we got samosa (ok) and one of the mutton dishes (great). They gave us free chai which was a great touch.

The only wish is that I don’t think the garlic naan hit the spot. It was very basic, not very flavorful.“

“great food. good price. very good staff“

“Went on weekend...was bit crowded, difficult to get parking spot.I had to be in queue for 15-20 minutes to get a table.It offers several varieties of dosas and other Andhra tiffins.Quality of food was very good .They offered 3-4 Chutneys, people coming for first time would enjoy Allam( Ginger) chutney for sure.“

“Very tasty Food...Friendly Staff Good Service 🤗😊“

“Place where you get the best party hall, food and wholesome experience!“

“We ordered dahi puri, palak chaat, chicken achari kabab and lollipop chicken for starters, along with few garlic naan, butter naan, laccha paratha, malai kofta and chicken lababdar. Most of the dishes are above average and the ambience is very nice and clean. However the service stands out over all this . Our server shanty was very friendly, attentive and took great care of us.“

“Mr. Chef!! Hope everyone is safe and ok! Always enjoy eating at your restaurant. My wife and I appreciated you taking the time to show is your oils and spices. Your place is a gem. Hope you guys land on your feet. Looking forward to the day you guys can reopen. Best wishes 🙏“

“Badoota has the best curated menu for all the non vegetarians . We had ordered Chicken , mutton biryani and chicken ghee rost . In vegetarian avrekayi biryani. All the items very delicious . It definitely took us back home. The meat was very tender and fresh. Thanks for the amazing food🙌🏼“

“Good to have desi choice in California.“

“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.“

“We ordered food from Idly Express Milpitas via Uber Eats. Excellent food quality, with good packaging. Everything tasted fresh! Thank you Idly Express!!“

“Forget about Shalimar… forget about Zareens .. forget about Pakwaan …this is the restaurant to eat Desi food . Karachi Level food. Big portions as well. Parking is easy .. front and huge lot in the back .“

“We had a solid Indian lunch experience at Jashn in Santa Clara. Apps hit the spot - good size, taste, and texture. Main however could've used a bit more Thai curry like they described, but still tasted good. Portions felt a tad small for the price - would love bigger mains for a more sumptuous meal. Naan and tandoori roti were spot on. Will return, to try the rose kulfi live-prep Xp @ the table.“

“Very delicious and tasty food. One should try it once.“

“Outstanding food at Chup Chaap Truck in Milpitas.
The Amritsari naan was perfectly crisp outside and soft inside with authentic flavor, and the kadai chicken had a rich, bold masala that tasted just like classic Punjabi dhaba cooking.

Simple, flavorful, and very satisfying. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the area.“

“curry leaf dosa. my consistent favorite“

“Stylish & Cool Indian Bistro in Lovely Los Gatos. Alfresco Dinning with heaters makes for a comfortable dinning experience full of charm. The restaurant has many small touches throughout the experience which made it worthwhile. She loved the French style of seating by the window.“

“Tasty food, family style and friendly service.“

“The best puris in the Bay Area. This place has hands down the best puris to use for pani puri and are difference between average and great pani puri. They have sev puri, mohan thal (sweet). Awesome place to purchase these items. I give them 5 star for amazing service over the last 20 years.“

“This is my absolute favorite place for catering big parties! Every time I host an event and order from here, all my guests genuinely appreciate the food and ask where it’s from. That says a lot.

The quality is always consistent — which is so important when you’re catering for a large group. The taste, freshness, and presentation never disappoint. On top of that, the quantity is generous, so you don’t have to worry about running short when hosting.

I’ve tried other Chaat Bhawan locations and similar restaurants, but this particular branch stands out for me. The flavors are just right, the service is reliable, and the overall experience gives me peace of mind every single time.

Highly recommend for anyone planning a party or gathering — they truly make hosting easier!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“my first time here I felt the food was surprising good for the look of the location.“
