The Indian food was fresh and excellent. For a Valentine's Eve dinner the family made us really welcome and had a fresh red rose on each table. It was not as expensive as many other options for Valentine's Day and we found this an excellent choice for a romantic night out. We had lamb saag which had plenty of spinach. The Tandoori fish was excellent. We also had mushrooms. naan bread and rice with peas. The kulfi was the best I've ever had in the San Francisco Bay Area - we had both mango and plain - both were delicious. This was a delightful, established find. It doesn't look much from the outside and for over 10 years we've missed it - but it was well worth the trip for home made Indian food.

Amazing Indian food near half moon bay.

Loved their starters, garlic nans, chapatis. Chicken nd mutton dishes were amazing.

Slightly disappointed with biriyani though. Rice was squished and more like Chicken rice.

Vegetarian options: Good veg options

Parking: Easily park around 10 cars. There are road side parking as well.

Pretty bad food - particularly vegetarian food. Tea was horrible - looks like they have no idea how to
make Chai. Onion Bhajia was undercooked. Baigan Bharata was more like a pickle. Coconut gravy dish was passable. Naan was dry. Will never go back.

Vegetarian options: Pathetic Vegetarian food.

We were a group of 5 and had a terrible experience. The food took more than an hour to arrive and was very bland. It lacked Indian spices. The taste of fish seemed very off. The green chutney was really bad too.

Located in a touristy place with minimum Asian population I expected it to be just OK at best but this place is absolutely Amazing. I can’t speak to authenticity but look at these metal containers and the interior decorations. The food is so much better than most of other places I’ve been to in the Bay Area that I think I’ll want to visit the town just for the food here.

They made me complete my pick up order. Which they claim they never received.
They didn’t even offer to reach out to UberEats even though I have confirmation number.
So I drove 10 miles to go pick up my food and left without any food.
I have been here before they made me wait almost 20 minutes. I will never order or eat in this place. Terrible customer service

Food was fresh and delicious. I also liked the location and the floor sitting arrangement. Good place to eat, drink and relax.

The only reason India Beach has a 4+ star average rating is that there are no other Indian options in the area. This pales in comparison to pretty much any Indian restaurant in any more urban setting.

Dry rice that has been sitting in the rice cooker too long, stale naan, some dishes slightly overcooked, yet the tandoori chicken was literally served raw, we pointed it out and they cooked it again. The saag paneer was quite a strange taste and consistency.

They also were a bit annoying trying to upsell us on more food and dessert.

This is a family just working to make a living, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't rate accurately.

Mediocre food and an experience I wouldn't repeat.
