14 Best Indian Restaurants near Fairfax

“The best Indian vegetarian food! Organic and amazing seasoning.“

“We had a wonderful experience at New Delhi Indian Cuisine in San Rafael. We ordered Palak Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, Veg Momo, and Chicken Tikka Masala — and every dish was absolutely delicious. The food arrived relatively quickly, was piping hot, and full of rich, authentic flavors.

Everyone at our table loved the meal, and we especially appreciated the generous portions. The taste truly reminded us of how Indian food is meant to be — just like what you’d get in India.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving flavorful, comforting Indian cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Incredible, authentic food. What a delight to discover this place. The chef & family who run it are actually sherpas! The butter chicken curry had so many different flavors, I don’t even know how to describe it, except delicious. Grilled meats and veggies also incredible. Naan prepared to perfection. And the Himalayan hot ginger tea hit the spot!

There’s a reason this restaurant currently has a 4.9 out of 5.0 (Dec 2024). Enjoy!

Parking: Tons of free parking“

“You can taste the love and dedication in every bite. Arti deserves high praise for their hard work, incredible flavors, and excellent service. This is some of the best Indian food around. Nothing beats enjoying one of their lunch wraps by the creek on a sunny day!“

“Absolutely amazing! Such wonderful dishes!! Will be back for more!! 😋❤️🧡❤️“

“What a charming restaurant that we would not have noticed from the location, but once inside we were not disappointed with the food, service or the the decor. We would highly recommend this place to all and it will be one of our favorites for future eatings.“

“Had just arrived in San Francisco, and hit the road heading to Sonoma for a wedding this weekend. Looking for a place to have lunch and we found Avatars on line. So, we decided to try it, and we are glad we did. Our meals were cooked fresh to order and they were delicious! Friendly staff and a place we will fondly remember and look forward to trying again on our next trip out here!!“

“Long touted as the best Indian kitchen in Marin, this motel restaurant packs more than just flavor, but also some pleasant surprises.

An all-you-can-eat lunch buffet (hooray!), increasingly hard to find anywhere in the Bay Area post-Covid. A window into the kitchen adds to the dining experience, but also indicative of the high-quality standards of food preparation.

Chicken Tandoori is excellently marinated and perfectly chargrilled. Bone-in Lamb Curry, Vegetable Curry, and Butter Chicken are highlights. Tastes are spicy, but subdued and refined.

Worth a stop-in when driving up from the city to Marin. An excellent meal to warm up with after spending the day on a hike or along the coast.“

“This place made the tastiest veggie curry dish - I asked for the Channa Masala extra spicy and they did such a great job! Their garlic naan is very good too. I am not an expert or Indian food aficionado. However, I love the taste of their food and the girl I spoke with over the phone was very sweet!“

“Lunch buffet is really good and at a fair price.“

“Best Indian food I’ve eaten in many years!!“

“First off, the restaurant is beautifully decorated. All our servers were professional and didn't hover. The food is delicious with healthy serving sizes. The price is right. I'll be back.“

“Visiting from England and fancied a curry. The curry did not disappoint. Good food, friendly staff and good service. Next time I visit San Francisco I’ll definitely eat there again.“
