50 Best Indian Restaurants near Emeryville

“Had an absolutely lovely experience here! Manager Salman was so incredibly kind and welcoming, and checked up on our table throughout the night. Appetizers, entrees, drinks were all fantastic. Staff and waiters were all so kind and attentive. Will definitely be returning here!“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was absolutely delicious — a flavor that words can’t fully describe. The naan was excellent, and the Mango Lassi paired perfectly with my lunch. The portions were generous. I planned to take photos, but the food looked and smelled so good that I forgot. Overall, I highly recommend Konarq.“

“The food was excellent and mouth watering! The staff, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.“

“A rather odd place. First of all, the tandoori chicken and the palak paneer were fantastic – the best I’ve ever had, I think. However, the naan (we got plain and garlic) was the worst I have ever had. Think thin, bad pizza dough. The basmati rice was alright. Service was friendly but a bit slow and scattered. The women’s bathroom was dirty enough that I decided to wait until I got back home. The tension on the door to the women’s bathroom was set so high that the door slammed into me quite hard.“

“I’m punjabi and this is authentic punjabi food - we got rogan josh - yumm
the surprise was the hyderabadi vegetable mix w apricots - delicious

the naan was my fav coz i’m so picky about naans. It’s light but not too light. Naan should have some weight to it and the flakiness comes from the top crust.

Gavin was our server and delightful and attentive. Can’t wait to to back“

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

“Our top favorite Indian restaurant in SF, hands down. The ambience is unbeatable, warm, bright & vibrant. They were very accommodating despite a fully sold out evening, as we were driving from Sacramento just to dine at this fine place. A meal here is fulfilling. Favorites are: butter chicken, chicken meatballs, paneer pinwheel, dahi puri. The desserts were fantabulous: coconut & rasmalai. The service was perfect, shout out to Pooja, she is warm, friendly & very attentive. Shout out to chef Ashish, amazing food that consistently tastes good. Thank you team Rooh!“

“beat indian and nepali resturent in albany area.free parking and delicious food.highly recommended“

“Coworkers and I were actually looking for a different restaurant, got lost, decided to eat here and I am so glad we did because this place is DELICIOUS. The naan bread was SO good, crispy and chewy and fresh. I had the veggie korma, my coworkers had chicken curry dishes, we all had rice, everyone was delighted. I got a mango lasse to go and it too was fantastic. Our waiter was very nice too and we were served quickly. Total stroke of luck to wind up in front of this place, since we all want to go again soon.“

“We like to dine here after attending the Himalayan Faire every year in Berkeley. Delicious.“

“MoMo Masalas is a cozy little Himalayan and Indian restaurant near the UC Berkeley campus, and it’s a great place to go if you enjoy momos and bold, comforting flavors. The restaurant is casual and small, but the food has a very homemade feel.

The momos are definitely the highlight. The chicken momos are juicy and nicely seasoned, while the jhol momos come in a warm, spicy Kathmandu-style broth that gives them even more flavor. The fried momos are also good if you prefer something crispier.

Beyond dumplings, they have chicken biryani, pork chili, curries, vegetarian dishes, and other Nepali and Indian specialties. The mango lassi is a nice way to cool things down if you order something spicy.

The portions are satisfying, prices are reasonable for Berkeley, and the staff is friendly. It’s a good casual choice for students, locals, or anyone who wants to try Himalayan food without going somewhere too formal.“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“Very inviting and friendly place. Food is done well and at a good price point. Service a tad slow but it was a quiet Sunday afternoon. Check it out.“

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

“Best In Bay area.“

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! The vindaloo, tikka masala, and butter chicken are spiced to perfection and the sauces are a beautiful consistency. The space is always clean and quiet, with a big window. Service is quick and attentive.“

“Great food and service, I would like to explore more from the menu“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious, and every dish is full of flavor. Everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared.

The service was excellent as well. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

The restaurant is also very clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Indian food. I will definitely be coming back again!

Thank you for the wonderful food and outstanding service! ❤“

“Absolutely delicious cuisines, lovely ambience, excellent customer service and friendly staff. 100% recommend!! ❤️“

“Dallas has some amazing food, and I've tried a lot of dishes, but I have to give a special shoutout to the naan! It was truly one of the best I've ever had in the USA. The quality was so good, I ended up eating several pieces just because of the incredible taste and texture. I highly recommend everyone try the naan!“

“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“

“Been eating here basically since it opened. Used to be another Indian place that I frequented but when Tilak took over, the food took a leap up.

It's still one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. Easily. Everything is so good and flavorful... from basics like dahl and butter chicken to more unusual dishes like masala lamb racks and goan prawns. If something on the menu looks a bit unusual, that you don't recognize from other Indian places, I recommend going for it.

Tilak himself and the rest of the staff are friendly and awesome, but the food... Just great stuff all the way down the menu.

So, yeah, easily my favorite Indian place in SF and the place we've been doing our company holiday dinner for the last five or six years.“

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

“The chaat at Chandni Chowk was amazing! 😍 It was fresh, flavorful, and had the perfect mix of spicy, tangy, sweet, and crunchy flavors. Everything tasted so good and authentic. The portion was great, the presentation was nice, and the place was clean. Loved the food and the friendly service. Definitely a great spot for chaat lovers! 🌶❤“

“Had to meet my college friends after a long time. We found Trisara on Google after a pathetic experience at another restaurant. The host was welcoming and polite. Food was bland for our taste buds. But, we had a great time catching up. The place is open till 1am so good for us to meet post work, some traveling from as far as Cupertino to catch-up with friends.“

“THE BEST! delicious, sophisticated Indian food with burst of flavors in every bite. This is my one and only go to spot in the east bay. The owners are kind and genuine people who knows how to cook with high quality foods! They are super conscious of the ingredients used making it a truly authentic experience everything i order. My taste buds thank you munch india!“

“The butter paneer is excellent! I also really enjoyed the mango chicken tikka. The interior is really nice, recommend checking it out for a meal in.

Request to the restaurant - possible to mark on for each dish on the menu which ones have gluten and which ones are gluten free?“

“Su personal y su comida está deliciosa y accesible sus precios están bastante cómodos está muy rica su comida“

“Nice place by the university. Huge bar selection. Wooden table seating. Staff was cool. I got the paneer tacos and the dahi puri they both tasted good. Not spicy it could use a little more flavor no parking around there. Be prepared to drive around looking for parking“

“Delicious food , best Momo in the Bay Area“

“Arvin and Puja prepare authentic Nepalese Food that is delicious. My favorites are the Palak Panner, Mixed Vegetable, and Paneer Tikamasala as I am vegetarian. The Nan and Roti are to die for. I love the down to earth homie atmosphere and friendly service. It you want good quality wholesome food in a relaxed and friendly setting, this is your place. I highly recommend Mount Everest to anyone.“

“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“

“A cozy authentic and homey environment with wonderfully fresh food. The best tofu ever!“

“My dosa was good. Although I was surprised at the small amount filling inside. But overall I was happy with the food. Note, they don't sell beer or wine yet, but they're cool about letting you bring your own inside & no corkage fee. 👍“

“Amazing place. We went on Wednesday for the unlimited dosa. One of Berkeleys hidden gems. The food quality is just as good (or better than India), they serve piping hot tasty fresh chutney and sambar (unlimited) with the Wednesday deal. I'll be back here many Wednesdaya for sure. Oh and Sameer was very friendly and courteous. Super guy.“

“Excellent food and friendly service!!!“

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

“It was the only Indian restaurant with an all day buffet or AYCE and on a Sunday that at least I could find in the Bay Area and for a reasonable price: under $25 including garlic naan (& tax.) I expected extra dishes but the dishes that were there were very tasty and filling. The hostess/server was very friendly. I was in love with the decor and the atmosphere was great with light music and a cosy feeling. Overall it’s a place I see myself going again.“

“Everything I had here was outstanding. Their breads are a standout. Fresh and chewy and filled with garbanzo beans / flour (Chana Masala Paratha). Samosas had great texture and flavor and the chutneys were excellent. Saag Aloo was fresh and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Menu is vegan friendly but not labeled very well (online menu is a little more clear on some things but not on everything). Mixed Vegetable dish, Saag Aloo and maybe another entree or two are vegan but you'll definitely want to ask. Many of the breads are vegan (and definitely worth ordering). Yummy“

“We needed a larger table for my mom’s bday in a last minute decision to have dinner here, and although during their busier time, we were lucky and got a table. Nity was so kind, attentive and accommodating from the very start of our first phone call. She recommended a set menu for our party size and gave great recommendations. The process was smooth, informative and her communication was good. The entire staff was friendly and professional while also being polite and respectful. Food was served hot and freshly made and everything we had tasted excellent and nothing was over bearing. This included the super yummy and summery watermelon salad, malai chicken, tawa shrimp, baigan bharta, chole, dum biriyani, butter chicken, kheer brûlée and some pistachio trés leches! Kudos to the chefs! I know it can be hard to make a choice for Indian food in Berkeley but I recommend Noor, 10/10 ! Beautiful ambience, fresh and delicious food, premium service making for a really nice and refreshing experience. Ty again to you and your team Nity!“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the amazing flavors and the amount of food. The saag paneer and cheese naan are my absolute favorites — I can’t get enough! I’ve been three times now, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“i am so grateful for Udupi Palace it’s one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area everything is so delicious!!! ���South Indian People, Food & Culture ���“

“Words cand describe how delicious this food was! Not my first time either! 10 out of 10 for me! VERY FRIENDLY AND ATTENTIVE STAFF! Make you feel so comfortable OMG IM DEFINITELY GOING BACK! 🤤🤤🤤🤤♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️“

“This restaurant made sure I don't miss Indian food in the US. Surely gonna visit again if I am in Oakland“

“Ajanta is an excellent Indian restaurant where every dish is prepared so perfectly that you’ll want to return often to completely get to appreciate everything on their exquisite menu! From the moment we walked into Ajanta, the aromas from the kitchen, were seductively overwhelming our culinary senses.. Everything on the menu sounded delicious! The choices of breads, the wonderful welcoming staff, made us want to camp out and plan what we might orfer if we could spend a week tasting everything on their menu. While I tend to order seafood, I chose the lamb, which was outstanding. My wife had the chicken served with pistachios in a sauce that was also delicious. Our server, kept bringing more treats to our table: little bowls of soup, spicy and sweet vegetables. Every bite was memorable and delectable.
Unfortunately, ae were visiting from New York, so we had to relish in our one night of culinary delights, while feeling envious of folks who live in Berkeley and Bay Area.“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“The momo jhol is the absolute star. The tikka pizza is also good, but the momo has been my lunch the past 7 times I have been there. Creamy, rich, and supple soup, with incredibly spiced dumplings. When I have this and a napali beer I can work all day feeling fueled. Slightly barebones in the seating, but the food outshines that“
