50 Best Indian Restaurants near El Sobrante

“Grabbed a quick bite to eat with my husband, we had some Mango Lassi smoothies and chicken samosas. DELICIOUS!“

“Wow! Food is well reasoned and the right amount of spices..
I ordered pick up, and I did not dinne in, but they do have lamb meat, not like other Indian restaurants. They serve you cow instead of lamb. I recommend this restaurant“

“Walked in and were greeted right away and seated. Within seconds brought over a pitcher of water and menus. We ordered butter chicken, rice, garlic and regular naan. I also got the mango lassi. Everything came out piping hot and delicious. Probably some of the best Indian food I’ve tried. Highly recommend and would come back again!“

“Delicious food at a very good price. Highly recommend.“

“I have the pleasure of eating here once for the buffet then returned for a birthday dinner. The chef/owner nicknamed “Gopi” is a very special human being as well as a great cook! He was so warm and welcoming! I felt like I was at a friends home rather than just a restaurant! That’s so rare these days. I love that they still have a buffet at lunch! That’s rare indeed. The food was authentic and excellent as well as reasonably priced. We will definitely be coming back !“

“The best Momos and butter chicken and many other things you will eat in Berkeley. Have been living here since 4 years and I make it a point to walk down to the Resturant from the hills at least twice a week for their delicious food. The food tastes like what we eat at home, spices are a perfect blend, and the produce always taste fresh. Khendu & Gopal, the hard working couple behind the Resturant are super friendly and very kind.
It’s very close to University so you all see a lotta kids come for a hot meal & the love the couple have these kids is so beautiful.
I highly recommend Momo Masala. Our favorite place in Berkeley !“

“Best Indian cuisine in all of Berkeley, do yourself a favor and stop in! great people, great food, a real gem in the city.“

“This is the best Indian food you can get in Berkeley! (Even better than Viks) We got the Vada Pav, Masala Chai and Donne Biryani. Everything tasted great and authentic! Vada pav reminded me of homemade ones in Bombay. Owner was very nice and welcoming. We are definitely coming back for sure!“

“Best In Bay area.“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“Im a local food blogger/chef I had a great experience at this restaurant I ordered the chili chicken and my God this is great dish I would order this again again and again! Salute to the restaurant and who ever cooked this! GREAT FOOD GREAT SERVICE“

“Excellent food. Peaceful atmosphere. Dedicated owners. Nice sized portions. Try the tandoori chicken. Also the spinach naan. Try everything. Highly recommend.“

“Awesome to have a quick, clean, and tasty Indian restaurant in town. Pani puri, malai kofta, and garlic naan were all great. This is quick and easy North Indian fare. Service is exceptional and while busy, I didn’t have to wait for a table for 1. If you are looking for Indian food in Berkeley, this is a solid choice.“

“We had the chicken biriyani and litti chokha. Its really good. They are very close to the authentic taste. The chicken biriyani here is lucknow style which is a bit rare to find in the east bay. Irrespective of that detail, the biriyani is really amazing.
Portions and service, really good.

p.s: if you get a patio seat on a sunny day, you get a nice view of the bay and the Golden Gate bridge.“

“Tondoor Restaurant offers an exceptional dining experience with delicious food and a welcoming atmosphere. The menu boasts a variety of flavorful dishes that are sure to satisfy any palate. The ambiance is charming and perfect for a cozy meal with friends or family. Overall, Tondoor Restaurant is a top choice for a memorable culinary adventure.“

“Hole in the wall with delicious food! Today we had saag with potatoes (medium spicy was SO tasty) and vegetable korma with vegetable dumplings and sesame naan. Big fan of the sesame naan! Our usual order is bindi (okra) and lamb vindaloo, and veggie samosas - all of which we consistently love. My husband also got the cumin-spiced lemonade but thought it was a bit salty.“

“Wonderful downtown Benicia dining experience. Felt like we were back in India! Very good food and service.“

“My dinner partner and I both agree that the physical atmosphere, and food were excellent. The place was almost empty on a Sunday night yet the service was mediocre. We had to keep tracking down the waiter for our hot water for the tea, box for take away, etc. Inattentive. The staff also seemed unhappy or dissatisfied with their jobs. The prices have gone up so don’t feel we got value for our money“

“Wonderful authentic Indian cuisine served by a fine group of people.“

“The fried rice with the Gobi Manchurian tasted delicious and a fantastic pairing. Samosa chaat was delightfully tangy and the chilli momos were saucy and flavorful. The spice level customizations are carefully done - the mild offered no teary eyes and the medium had a kick to it. The Nepal ice beer was light and crisp. Portion sizes were huge and we had leftovers over 1-2 more meals. If you'd like to avoid leftovers and are moderately hungry, share a fried rice and an entree to pair it with. Service was attentive and friendly.We'll definitely be back for more!“

“I love what they're doing here. The food is insanely good and I think the ordering system is brilliant—allowing for less food waste and an expansive menu. My wife also wants to point out that it was ready promptly. Tbh it could have been an hour late and I still would have given in 5 stars.“

“Tikka masala: spicy but good, great portions of tender lamb (I like spice but needed more rice).

Service was quick and friendly--a godsend as I was starving at 11pm. They serve food late.

Cocktails not my fave but good. You can't beat this place for late night food and drink, however. If I was still in college, I'd come here.

Great dim interior, cozy to hang out in. Noticeably young crowd, though.

I miss the old location but the new one ain't bad.“

“love this place. Food is fresh and delicious. Owner is also very hospitable and always greets us with a warm 😃“

“The signature Momo dumplings were outstanding, fresh flavor with a beautiful savory sauce. Lamb shank was melt off the bone deliciousness. awesome outdoor seating & excellent friendly service“

“Great people and extremely satisfying food. It was just what we wanted and we will be back soon and undoubtedly regularly thereafter. Five stars for sure. Thanks!“

“Food is great. Service is prompt. Place is clean. We tried malai boti roll , samosa, and chicken tikka fries. They are generous with chatnis. Chai was lovely. Nutella paratha was a great fusion twist. The Owner is very attentive. Will highly recommend this place if you are visiting Berkeley, you must try this place.“

“Always delicious Indian food! My family and I always come here when we are in the neighborhood. Maude and Rosemarie are very gracious hosts. I highly recommend this restaurant seven days a week. :)“

“Came here with my friend for lunch. The lunch special is an amazing value and the portions were huge! The owner was very attentive and taught me something new about how to enjoy the food with the sides. Great music and quaint for lunch. It's rare to get such a great value from a lunch special! We even needed a box. I will definitely be coming back for dinner as well.“

“I went to this place for lunch for the very first time and it is some of the best Indian food I have had in the US! I ordered a Thali and it had a lot of food items and it was very filling. The food was so tasty - I loved it! I’m definitely coming back here, for sure. And the thali cost me under $18. The quantity of food for the price I paid was really amazing! I’m glad I went there today and had such tasty food.“

“Our kids really wanna try food here as they have seen the menu and pictures. Finally we manage to go on her birthday to celebrate with family and friends . We had Mango lassi, pani puri , samosa, chicken Momo, Briyani, paneer lababda, muglai chicken, butter naan, butter chicken,jeera rice ,Chicken Briyani, tres lache cake and lal Mohan with ice cream . Of course gentlemen had wine 🍷 too.All the food were yummy , desent portion . I was expecting 8 pieces of Momo but it was only 5. Shout out to Briyani . It was yummy . Do visit this place . I bet you won’t regret.“

“Wonderful food on a comfortable patio with very friendly staff. Thumbs up 👍🏾“

“Yummmm. They should have a higher rating!! Their food is really tasty. And it’s not greasy like some of the other Indian restaurants around. I got the butter chicken to go and it came with a leg and thigh. Was surprised to get two big pieces of chicken. I ate them so fast I ended up in food comatose. Oops.

The meal comes with rice and a little salad. It doesn’t cost as much as other restaurants and is far better tasting. Going to be back to try more of their food.“

“Halal!! Not sure what to make of this place; food was good; we had the Papadi chaat: not bad; the papas was a bit hard; and there Saturday special: Chicken 65 Calupa: very tasty; the chalup is like a thick puri and the small mango cubes were a good touch

Atmosphere: very small tables and not enough for even 3 people; they also done do a good job of cleaning after someone leaves; it’s up to you to do it;
There is no service as you have to order on kiosk and menu is a bit confusing…“

“I had the chicken Tika Masala Burrito, it is one of the best meals I’ve had in the Bay. Don’t sleep on this place, if you don’t like it then you are a hater. I’d fly all the way back to California from Chicago just to have that burrito again.“

“Great food and customer service too match!“

“I’ve gone to this place before but of recently the food had an upgrade in taste and quality :) the food was extremely authentic . The service was extremely kind and they very patient despite us staying past closing. One of the best places in Berkeley ! Highly recommend.“

“Pizza was fantastic as well as the custom garlic bread pizza. Food is almost as good as the staffs friendliness and customer service.“

“Still the best deal at the Emeryville market.
Big portions for the lowest prices you will find at the place. The chicken is so tender. The sauce they pour over the rice is awesome. I will return.

Vegetarian options: Half the menu is vegetarian.

Parking: Lots of spaces.“

“I really love the samosas here. They're extra crunchy and stuffed with savory potatoes and peas! The tamarind sauce just takes it over the top. I also had the chicken take a masala. The sauce was good, but the dish was just okay overall because the meat was bone dry and had no flavor. My suggestion to the restaurant would be switch to thigh meat. It is almost always going to be more tender and flavorful. The rice was also a rather bland and I didn't get even a hint of cardamom. I'll probably try it again in a couple of months.“

“I love Thayir Sadam. It’s an authentic South Indian comfort food that tastes so amazing, clean and fresh. The service was excellent and the owner was very friendly and helpful
Thank you for bringing this to our neighborhood
I will be back soon“

“I have been wanting to try this restaurant for a while and I finally got to visit here.
The momo dumplings are delicious!
The garlic Naan bread was so good as well.
Definitely will be returning for the mango Lassi drink for sure.
Great serive and the parking is not bad at all. I got lucky that day.
I look forward to try more dishes!
Thank you so much Everest Kitchen for your amazing food!!“

“Took a risk on this place despite it being too new to have reviews, and I'm very glad I did. The restaurant has a cozy vibe with Karam boards and complimentary chai. Server was extremely nice, and even gave me complimentary rice with my appetizer. Food was also very good. I got the Fried Momo and the Chili Paneer. All felt like it was freshly prepared and had good quality ingredients. Definitely going back for a more complete meal.“

“Great food! Nice, friendly staff!“

“If you’re looking for an authentic and delicious dining experience, Himalayan Curry House is the place to go! The food is absolutely amazing,. The Nepali momo and chowmein are incredibly tasty,

Their chicken tandoori is hands down the best—juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. On top of that, the service is outstanding—friendly, fast, and attentive.
