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.

Too Spicy while ordered mild . Ordered food a few days ago and it was great, exactly as ordered, mild and delicious. However, today's online order chicken dum biriyani, placed a few days later, was supposed to be mild but turned out to be too spicy. Couldn't eat it. Very disappointing.

We have kids and we have nut allergies- 2 factors that make eating Indian food challenging, even though we love it. Here, they knocked it out of the park. Our kids can handle strong flavors (spice), but not too much heat(spicy). Chicken 65 is lightly battered, fried and was very tasty. The saag chicken came with plentiful chicken and the spinach sauce wasn't spicy at all. Our kids mopped this up with the naan. The gentleman on the phone was clear when I asked him to inform me which dishes I was interested in had nuts. (Pretty much anything with a creamy sauce!) He was thoughtful to package the nut free dishes separately too. My son declared the lamb tikka masala the winner of the night. It is a slightly sweet creamy sauce with large chunks of tender lamb. We also enjoyed the chicken biryani. Rice was fragrant and generously seasoned. It comes with cashews and juicy pieces of chicken breast. Many restaurants give heaps of rice and a paltry amount of meat. This was not the case here. By the time I remembered to take a picture, we had devoured a lot of our dinner! We would order everything we ate again, and I can't wait to try other dishes. Bonus: They offer a 10% discount for cash.

Was craving Indian food tonight and just found this little place in my own backyard. Ordered the chicken dum biryani and the kashmir naan - takeout. Had to wait a little longer past the pick up time, not a big deal. The food was delicious and holy cow - so much of it! I devoured all the naan (I have zero willpower) but I have plenty of the biryani left for lunch tomorrow. Very flavorful and not too spicy. The guy working the counter was front of the house was fine - just very busy. I will definitely be back for takeout again!

The food was good. Restaurant has small number of tables for dine in. There are a couple on the outside. Mostly people take out orders from here. Overall food and service was good. Kothu parota, vegetable biriyani was good. Sambar couple have been better. Mini idly was good. Channa batura was good.The restrooms are outside the restaurant. Had plenty of parking at noon.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Ritha, and I must say, it exceeded all my expectations! The highlight of my experience was undoubtedly the biryani - hands down the best I've ever tasted. Each grain of rice was perfectly cooked, and the blend of aromatic spices was just divine.The curries were another delightful surprise. The rich and authentic flavors transported me straight to the streets of India. The variety of curries showcased the chef's mastery in balancing spices, creating a symphony of taste that left my taste buds dancing with joy.The ambiance was warm and inviting, providing a perfect setting for a memorable dining experience. The staff were attentive and friendly, adding to the overall positive atmosphere.I highly recommend Ritha to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. From the heavenly biryani to the mouthwatering curries, this place is a gem for food enthusiasts. I'm already looking forward to my next visit!

I've always ordered takeout from Ritha - mostly a lot of their biryanis. I can say the taste and flavor is very close to authentic south indian food. Their tiffins - dosa and idli are also spot on. Would 100% recommend.
We tried the biryani and dosa ..food was very delicious..service was great..we will visit

My husband and I regularly order Ritha's for delivery! We decided to make the drive tonight and eat in house and when I tell you the service was amazing I mean it! The staff Annad, Yamini, and Ravi were super attentive. Food came out fast and as usual was consistently good! Love the versatility in their menu! The Ambience was cozy and enjoyable! I'd give this place more stars if I could.

Whenever you come here next, ask for AVAKAYA BIRYANI. Thank me later.I’m sure there are other nice things here but none better than Avakaya biryani.
