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“

“Ordered several vegetarian options and loved all of it. Loved that they made the food right there fresh. I'm so happy I came here for lunch today! Nice worker ladies with good customer service as I watched them serve many happy customers. Good luck to this business!“

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

“Super yummy food! Now our favorite place to eat in Benicia. I can’t speak for the meat dishes, but the vegetarian/vegan options are incredible. Highly recommend!“

“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 !“

“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“

“The best Indian food in the east bay!“

“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!“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“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.“

“I rate the Baltic Kiss five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We love the atmosphere and the music. The cocktail was memorable and the food is tasty and delicious. I had the Gumbo and the vegetables were fresh and cooked just right, not mushy. My group were very happy with their order. The homemade ice cream for dessert is fluffy and delicious. The sound of the music remarkably sounded so professional because the speakers were purchased from Yoshi’s when they decided to upgrade their sound system.“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“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“

“This place has a lunch special that offers rice and naan, plus 2 kinds of entrees. I had the tikka masala and chicken vindaloo. The naan was nice and buttery and fluffy, no burnt or dryness to it, and both entrees were tasty. I had ordered ahead of time for pickup and it was ready right on time. I am giving the food 4 out of 5 stars because I would have liked both dishes to be spicy like I requested, especially the vindaloo (tikka masalas aren’t typically spicy so that’s ok!). I like my food to be pretty spicy though and they probably don’t want to overdo it for other folks. Overall good quality and portions for $17, the gentleman who helped me was quite nice and courteous, and I will be back :)“

“Just tried this place for the first time yesterday! We got the lamb curry, butter chicken, and some samosas. Everything was great :)“

“Great for vegetarians, of course. Food is not bad, not the best you can get, but good and generous servings too. I actually think the food quality has improved some over the past few years. Service has always been quite friendly. The room has been upgraded a bit, but could use a little more spiffing up. These folks deserve your business. You won't be disappointed.“

“Love, love, LOVE Aroma Indian Cuisine here in Benicia! <3 It's a family-owned restaurant with friendly staff and an inviting atmosphere. The food is always cooked to perfection, and they have plenty of yummy vegetarian and vegan options. The best!“

“East Bay Spice Company has some amazing cocktails, and don't sleep on their tikka masala flatbread!! I added lamb–no regrets!

The drinks have likely rotated off the menu, but I have to give props to the Achari Margarita, which was such a vibrant drink boosted by the garam masala rim. The cucumber shrub and lime cooled that sweet heat very well.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options

Parking: Downtown Berkeley is difficult for parking!“

“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“

“The food was very good! The server was also very friendly which I greatly appreciate and the chicken tikka masala was amazing. Great place to try Indian food for the first time. (For the server who asked) My perfume is called Coach Dreams Sunset?! Thank you ?“

“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!“

“I used to go to their food truck ages ago and loved their food. When they stopped coming, I heard they had opened a restaurant back in 2018. Unfortunately I found out that this is now just a takeout only operation and you MUST pre-order by 12PM the day you want your food.

When we came to pick up, the owner came and talked to us and told us that the reason they had closed was because someone notorious for targeting mom and pop operations sued them for $40k over an inaccessible bathroom and because they either couldn’t fix the issue in their current space or couldn’t afford to move to another location, they had to pivot their business model. Because of the new model, they are just breaking even with bills, so please support them in any way they can!“

“I have eaten several times in this restaurant. It is elegant enough to have a meeting or friends reunion, and reasonably priced for students. You may treat yourself for a 'tandoori' delicious dish, or just go vegetarian. The owners are almost always there and give a nice atmosphere to the place. I just love this restaurant! Decoración elegante · Restaurantes económicos · Cosy atmosphere · Comida excelente · Opciones saludables · Raciones grandes“

“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.“

“It was a wonderful experience. All the foods were super tasteful and had some real sense of Indian food. Chicken Pakora, Lamb Chop, Chicken Chaat, Chicken Wings, And none other than Pinot Noir Wine. All of them are so fresh and organic. Even wine is fresh and smooth. They have well maintained wine stocks you can see from your table. Overall a great experience with my wife and my infant son.“

“I got the Udupi combo and picked mysore masala dosa- the food was great although I got delivery, I bet it’s even better cooked fresh dining in. I’d Recommend coming here and giving it a try

Edit -
Went to dine in and enjoyed the house curry dosa (personal favorite!), medu Vada, and onion chili uthapam highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Great food and customer service too match!“

“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…“

“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. :)“

“This place is a hidden gem for desi food. Looks very unassuming from the outside. Food tasted like it was home cooked. Tried the chicken handi, goat karahi, aloo ghost, chana chicken, paya, and biryani. Best was the handi and chana chicken.“

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

“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!!“

“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.“

“We are Vegetarian and had next level Chana-Kulcha, freshly made aloo paratha (not microwaved frozen paratha) and paneer paratha. I'll definitely come back here and hope I still get the same food.You might be better off for a take out. Sit down can be hit or a miss as this place is crowded.“

“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“

“Great food! Nice, friendly staff!“

“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.“

“One of the most modest place with the most authentic and delicious food. We've tried many places on Solano and this is definitely one of our favorite. The Aloo Naan was adequately stuffed and fresh. The Saag Paneer was prepared with fresh ingredients. The place is simple, modest and meets all our needs.“

“Clean efficient great for gathering (outdoors) or to grab and go. The food is fresh with dishes like dosa, made to order. Indian food is part of my heritage, so the grocery store next door is a bonus.“

“Authentic Indian food. Enjoyed the boneless Lamb in mild spinach sauce - delish, spice just a tinge. Highly recommend! Definitely will come again!“

“I often do delivery from here, and everything I've had has been excellent. Their channa masala is quite spicy, so I get medium at most on that but usually opt for spicy on everything else. Been eating their food for years now and it's always fantastic. The few times I've eaten in the restaurant it's been comfortable and quiet with great service. Love this place!“

“Yeti is definitely a great local bar... Food is good... service is great... atmosphere is warm and inviting. They have Karaoke every Wednesday and Friday...so much fun. They also have 24 beers on tap with more to come.Don't take my word for it! Please stop in, and see for yourself.“

“Great food and lots of outdoor seating“

“Good momos, just really tasty and savory. Prices are pretty high for what you get, and it's not the most pleasant experience (paper plate, really flimsy plastic silverwear). If you don't mind that, or just plan on getting takeout, it's really good!“
