14 Best Indian Restaurants near Half Moon Bay

“Best Himalayan cuisine ever! Never a bad meal! Fresh and made to order! One of my favorites!!! I ordered Lamb combination meal with a side of Tandoori Roti!“

“Great food. Very pleasant waiter. View not so bad either.“

“Exceptional food: a creative and imaginative menu. Haven’t had such good Indian-fusion food in the longest time. Most importantly, the service (Chris was our server) was remarkable! I can’t wait to get all my friends and family here!!! What a gem of a find.“

“Great food!
Took away a star for a somewhat odd service. We were repeatedly asked to clarify our order -we had ordered samosa and chai (snack) but strangely were served samosa chaat. Tasted great though.
The Idlies were also great . Would have loved a bit more of the chutneys and the sambar.

Also would be good to have drinks in non-disposable cups for sit-down orders.Would suggest considering non-plastic stirrers.

Would highly recommend the restaurant overall.“

“Tabla in Atlanta serves amazing Indian flavor in a chic, modern setting. Don't miss their Handi Gosht and Kurkuri Bhindi perfect for both meat lovers and vegetarians!“

“I had a fantastic dinner at Curry and Kabab in San Mateo tonight! The **Soya Chaap** was incredibly flavorful and well-textured, and the **Aloo Gobi** was cooked to perfection with just the right balance of spices. Pairing them with their fresh, warm **Naan** made for a truly satisfying meal.

If you're looking for authentic flavors and great service in San Mateo, this spot is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

Really liked their wall paintings though“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at Clay Oven. The food was absolutely delicious—the fish Tikka Masala was cooked to perfection and had such an authentic depth of flavor. Mango lassi was real punjabi! All with amazing Indian classical music!“

“Everything is delicious here! Great, friendly staff!“

“It looks like a small place from the outside, but the inside is big and the food is delicious. Very strongly suggested.“

“They use an AI call taker and there is no one at the store who can take a call. I left my glasses there and I called 5 times , each time I was forwarded to the store and then the call just dropped while I was waiting.

--- updated the score back because somebody replied here --“

“Tried the downtown SJ location a long time ago and remembered liking it. Ordered takeout by phone and order was ready in 20 mins. We got the Jhol momo $14, tandoori chicken momo $16, chicken curry $14, lamb tikka masala $16.50, and garlic naan $5. Food is all high quality and pretty good overall. Asked for no added salt or butter and they were able to accommodate. Tandoori chicken momo was my favorite followed by the Jhol momo and lamb tikka masala. Lamb tikka had really good flavor, but the lamb wasn't very tender, although not tough or dry either. Chicken curry wasn't anything special. Garlic naan was decent. Generous portions for the price, it's nice that the curries include rice. Small restaurant with some tables inside and a lot more outside on the patio deck. I recommend it, but like Himali just a bit better (sister restaurant in Burlingame)“

“Wanted to like this place more. Dosa Box is one of the ghost kitchens in San Mateo Food Mall. Ordered from the website for pick up. You get a text when it's ready, go inside and check in with the worker who is at the desk. They open the locker for you where the food is placed.

Our dosas were completely soggy. Would have been very good if it was still crispy. Although it makes sense that dosa would not be a good take out item. They could've poked holes in the box or put the masala potatoes separate instead of inside the dosa to maintain crispiness.

Also just a note if anyone was wondering, the masala dosa comes with sambar (since the menu is not clear about that).“

“Great food must try uggani bajji kapada karam Dosa“

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“
