“An absolute favorite that I am sure to visit on every trip to the Bay. Very unique fusions of Indian and Californian flavors with something for every palate. My favorites are the sesame leaf, burrata kulcha, house salad and dry boat scallops. Also don’t sleep on the cocktails. Very nicely crafted.“
“Food was great!! My daughter loves the butter chicken as she says it melts in your mouth with the amazing flavor. The oyster mushroom was delicious with the great texture!! And my son enjoyed the butter naan. Service was wonderful as always and the atmosphere was welcoming and aesthetically pleasing.“
“The food is consistent and incredible. The staff is all friendly and helpful. You can almost always be seated immediately. Very delicious lunch specials. I love meat usually but the vegetarian options are fantastic. This is my favorite Indian restaurant in RWC.“
“Swekar was very helpful - thank you! - explaining dishes & making suggestions about which Nepalese dishes go together. The Buff momos, chilli badel (wild boar), aloo tikki (potato pancakes), & naan were all delicious!(The first time we ate here, we stayed with 'safe' choices. Delicious, but safe. The reviews encouraged us to try new dishes!)Hāmī phirtā hunēchauṁ! (We will be back!)“
“I came here last summer and it was quite an interesting experience. We ordered and then sat outside.The paratha roll was great all around -- tender and flavorful spicy chicken in a buttery roll. I'd definitely get this again.The sizzling chicken dish had good flavor but the chicken was not as tender as I would've liked.The palak paneer was pretty meh. Not creamy and just spinachy.The garlic naan and mango lassi were good. Overall I had a good time here and would definitely get the paratha roll again.“
“Went for a Friday night date with husband. The food was flavoursome . Specially the Bombay sliders were just mouthwatering ?Decent and quiet ambience with not much hustle bustle.-1 just for the fact they were out of the dessert we wanted to try.Overall had a nice calm dinner.“
“I have been to this place only a handful of times. Each time the food quality and service never ceases to amaze me. The food is spectacularly delicious. The service is quick. Don' t let that deter you in thinking the food quality must lack. On the contrary, they use fresh ingredients and the fact that they are so busy they food turn over is great. you know you are getting fresh cooked food. Hands down the best pakistani/indian restaurant in the bay area. I recommend the halwa puri thali on the weekends and the spinach gosht on the weekdays with garlic naan.“
“Ok this is the 4th time me and my wife we usually visit here every Friday on exactly 11:15 am . The place is always clean and tidy as always i have visited and the girl who is the server she is so sweet and nice . Her customer service is so nice and how sweetly she describes every single food . She is so cute . Ok talking about food we always order veggie momo steam tofu tika masala garlic nan and chowmein bowl with gobi manchurian so delicious mouth watering delicious food. I really recommend you guys to visit if you guys want good nepali and indian food in San Mateo downtown.??“
“Very good taste. Tried Malai Kofta, Saag, Chana masala with Onion Kulcha, Rice and Garlic naan. Too good. Chana masala was less salty which you can pour on the top but wonderfully cooked.How can I forget complementary Bhajis. Thanks a lot.Yummy!“
“Very good Indian food and cocktails. Not completely typical north Indian food but not crazy innovation like at Rooh which is weird. Enjoyed the food here.Vegetarian options: As an Indian restaurant there are quite a few vegetarian dishes.Parking: There is a large parking garage a few blocks away.“
“Freddie is the best!!!! He deserves a promotion! Loved his personality and service, even though he was not our server.Overall, went here during happy hours. Tandoori wings were very juicy, great French gimlet for a drink (not sweet). Definitely recommend both. Paneer tikka and chicken Saagwala was great too!“
“My partner and I stopped by for lunch and were impressed! The restaurant's prices are worth the quality of food and service. The appetizers were fresh and served with flavorful chutneys. The curries were generously sized and tasted rich and delicious. The garlic naan was tasty if a bit fried. And the entire lunch special is only $20 on weekdays!Vegetarian options: The weekday lunch special has a few vegetarian curries“

“It’s a goto restaurant for Indian food. They provide both veg and non veg options. The biriyani’s are good usually they have lot of South Indian dishes on the menu.During peak hours the food taste is not the same biriyani tastes like fried rice. But otherwise it’s a good place when it’s not crowded and not all tables are occupied.Take aways are mostly good!“
“Eaten at "Hidden Tap & Barrel" in Redwood City. To eat, I had the mango habanero wings and they were spicy and flavor was tasty, but the wings themselves were soggy and I don't like soggy wings (I like them fully cooked and crispy, especially with a wet sauce). So the way the wings were cooked made it hard to enjoy them, they were small too. I got the 10 piece and it definitely came with more than 10 pieces so I liked that. My partner got the meat lover's pizza and that was delicious. Overall solid spot. Dim lighting, music is loud, but it's a fun spot with great drinks. Next time I'll get the pizza.“
“Great food, great taste and flavors, great prices! Service was great and the restaurant was clean, nice, and roomy. The spice level was perfect and the naan was fresh. Would definitely go back! There's a parking lot across the street that is convenient and I see many people picking up take out orders as well.“
“Excellent salad bowls clearly prepared by folks who care about providing healthy delicious meals. Came across this place when the owner posted on Nextdoor this weekend. Ordered through DoorDash and the food arrived in great condition. The bowls were very well prepared per our instructions and they even put cute little hearts on the boxes which my wife adored. The owner truly cares about providing the customers a great experience.The bowls were very tasty and portion size was very good. The chicken was perfect, and the sauces (makhani and chaat) were super tasty as well. The waffle egg in a heart shape was not only novel but very appetizing as well. This is a very novel concept and we are big fans. We will certainly order regularly!“
“Family owned and run and so delicious! The samosas are unlike the tough crusted ones elsewhere. The dough must be a family recipe because the crust on these is tender, yet crisp. Also, the mint dipping sauce has a nice spicy kick that rivals the tamarind sauce for memorable flavor and mint isn't even a favorite flavor of mine. Their chicken korma is also really good. I've stopped comparing kormas because they vary so widely, but theirs is warming and comforting like the best of them. I ordered everything with medium heat and for me, it was perfectly spiced, lingering on the tongue only a few minutes, but I will try it even spicier next time.Parking: Follow map that Curry & Kebab features on Google Maps. A little unclear if you can park in the covered parking area while the spa store is still open, but there are plenty of spots beyond. Note: this is a one way parking lot that exits onto Ivy St. You can circle the block to get back onto El Camino.“
“Wonderful, Unusual and Delicious, Pizza. My husband and I both enjoyed our pizza’s. We both got cauliflower crust My husband’s idea for food is, the spicer the better so he chose just that. I settled into my curry, not hot chicken pizza. It was great! Our server was Annette and she was informative and delightful. If it was closer to us it would be our go to!“
“This is our new favorite Indian spot! Incredibly full flavors, wide ranging menu with Dosa, Biriyani, and other familiar specialties. Cant say enough about this local gem.Parking: Big free city parking lot just behind, Sugandh has a rear entrance.“
“Authentic taste with great experience.We ordered Mysore masala dosa , podi idli and Madras dosa. Crispy tasty and real podi chutney.Although sambhar is not spicy at all and it has more sweet taste. Sambhar didn't had drumsticks and masala as it is supposed to be authentically.Chutneys are definitely tasty.Also like their buttermilk specially the fresh fragrance and taste of curry leaves.We had take out yesterday and uttapam is great too.Even samosa were crunchy and imli chutney is damn tasty.“

“Excellent Indian restaurant in the heart of Foster City. Small unassuming restaurant which at first glance not impressed. However, the food was delicious. Garlic naan was excellent. Tikka masala lamb was flavorful. Love the mango lassi. Will definitely return.“
