50 Best Indian Restaurants near Los Altos

“Feel good food & atmosphere :)“

“Great ambience, delicious food, and amazing service!“

“This food truck is a hidden gem! The Volcano Biryani is a fiery masterpiece, with layers of flavors and a spicy kick. The fried rice and omelet base provide a comforting contrast. We also enjoyed the Peri Peri sandwich and the refreshing guava drink. The food truck itself has a cozy seating area and board games, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal."“

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.“

“Had a great experience and food with Shubham hall and banquet. Ordered food and snacks for a non profit event- Mr Arun and team delivered very fresh food (samosas, harabhara kebab, paneer pakoda, gulab jamoon) to a guest size of 500 people. Everyone liked the food and we are planning to order more food for any occasion and events. They also do occasion & events in their banquet hall and personalized menu and items. 100% recommended.“

“We tried the prawn kebab, Schezwan fried rice, and surmai thali. The prawn kebab and fried rice were delicious, offering rich flavors that we thoroughly enjoyed. However, the surmai thali did not meet our expectations; the fish lacked freshness and had an unpleasant odor, and the accompanying curries were not good in taste. We also found the menu prices slightly higher than anticipated for the portion sizes.

The dining area was quite noisy, likely due to its compact size. On a positive note, the staff were attentive and efficient, ensuring we didn’t have to wait long for our meals. If you’re interested in exploring fish-based dishes, this restaurant could be worth considering.“

“A must visit spot while in Monterey for authentic tasty meal, great dining experience.“

“Exceptional place!
It’s very hard to come by such well-run places these days. The food is absolutely fantastic as well as reasonably priced. They cater to all taste buds and even modify it if you ask.

Paul and other staff members know the definition of hospitality and put it into practice!

Also, unlike other Indian places, they use Olive Oil for their cooking which doesn’t make you uneasy after a big meal. For this very reason, most days, our post workout meal is at Maya’s Kitchen ????“

“🎉 Just had an unforgettable evening at Ettan! Cozy vibes, top-notch service, and every dish was a masterpiece. 🍽 The chef's special? Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“I am a Nepali. I know what am talking about. Hands down one of the best Nepali chowmein and momo we have had in the States!

They were quiet so we got seated immediately. The place feels like some fast-food joint with advertisements plastered all over the wall. The vibe surely takes you back home to Nepal.

We dined here for an early dinner. For a party of 5, we had 2 plates of chicken steamed Momo, 1 plate of Titanic (Jhol) chicken momo, chicken lollipops, 2 chicken chowmein, and goat curry with nan and rice! We had 3 rounds of complementary chai. (trust me we kept asking for it. The chai was that good!)

The momo was so fresh, piping hot with 2 styles of Nepali chutney, the chowmein came fresh with enough veggies and chicken, and the lollipop was crunchy! We were so full that we asked them to put the curry/rice/naan in to go box!

It hits you home when you find a Nepali restaurant that does not compromise on quality. The manager and the team took good care of us!

Pls pls give this business a try! Trust me they won't disappoint you.“

“Great service and delicious food!“

“Fantastic food. Great place for vegetarians..the spicy paneer paratha is amazing, the thali is worth the price .. lots of food options in the menu..

The shikanji is also something worth while to try. The owner is very hospitable and great service.“

“Ulavacharu Tiffins is hands down one of my favorite places for authentic South Indian flavors! They have different branches around the Bay Area, making it so convenient to enjoy their amazing food wherever you are. But the absolute highlight for me is their coffee—rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. It’s like a comforting hug in a cup! The staff is friendly, the ambiance is welcoming, and the variety of dishes never disappoints. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. I’m in love with their coffee!“

“Pav Bhaji & More is a good food truck overall.

Pav Bhaji: The Pav Bhaji is absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful, and packed with authentic spices that hit all the right notes. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had and an absolute delight for anyone craving real street-style flavors.

Portion Size and Value: The portion size is shockingly small, especially given the pricing. It’s hard to overlook how inadequate the quantity is, which really impacts the overall value for money.

Service: The service is average. While the staff are polite, there’s room for improvement in terms of efficiency and attentiveness.

Ambience: For a food truck, the ambience is impressive. The seating area is clean, well-maintained, and provides a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal outdoors.

Overall, the Pav Bhaji is exceptional, but the portion size leaves much to be desired.

Vegetarian options: Tasty vegetarian food and options“

“We’ve ordered from them twice. Everything was delicious. The presentation was amazing. Even my kids enjoyed it. Especially the chicken kabobs… which my husband loves. They were so flavorful! I definitely recommend them! The owners are so kind and sweet!!! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant that left a lasting impression. The ambiance was inviting, the service impeccable, and the menu featured a diverse array of mouthwatering dishes. Each plate was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the chef skill and creativity. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was visually appealing. The staff was attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone !❤️“

“Cheerful welcome greeting, seated quickly and attended to throughout a very good meal.“

“Great food and even better service. Pawan single handedly maintains the entire front of the store and does a phenomenal job. This place is far from my house so I visit rarely. 3 months between my previous visit and today's visit and he remembers exactly what I would order. Greets me, guesses my order before I say it, and gets it. Great job. And the food is excellent too- very flavorful and well prepared.“

“Outstanding Indian Cuisine - Truly Authentic!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was incredibly authentic, and I was particularly impressed with the butter chicken and naan. Both dishes were absolutely amazing, bursting with rich flavors and perfectly cooked.

The service here is unparalleled. It felt like I was dining at home, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. They made sure my food was hot, served promptly, and checked on me multiple times throughout my meal. It was truly the best service I’ve ever experienced.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Indian dining experience. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service you receive.

One suggestion for fellow patrons: if you’re considering ordering the bread basket, be aware that it takes some time to prepare. As a result, some of the breads might not be as fresh as if you order them individually.

Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

Vegetarian options: Many indian vegetarian options like butter panner“

“As authentic as it can ever get!
Fresh, quality ingredients that do not fail to impress. The compostable cutlery and plates is a huge deal to me. The owner's attention to detail reflects in everything making it a wholesome experience, ALWAYS! This is a review after my 6th or 7th visit and the consistency of service is impressive. You've earned a fan, Idly express!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“great food. good price. very good staff“

“Its a hole in the wall type of place.. so if you're looking for homestyle food and the best service you can get.. this is the place you want be in. When you eat at someone's home, your host usually watches you diligently to make sure they are catering to you before you need to ask for something.. they try to anticipate your needs and offer it.. well, this is the place for that type of treatment!!
We were a group of 4.. but ordered MORE food than we can handle.. what did they do first? Take our order.. when the food seemed like it might fill up our table fast, they just casually came over and added an extension to our table.. so we can fit our food while we eat comfortably.. like WHAT? Most restaurants will think about keeping that table free for other guests.. It was not a quiet night either.
After that.. they saw how much we've eaten.. and say.. maybe you want chai instead of the chaas you ordered? We're like.. as a matter of fact.. you're right.. thats what feels good right now. 2 chai please.
As we're shamelessly packing it up, we missed asking boxes for a couple of items.. no no.. they observed.. and brought us extra boxes for those items.
As we walk away not wanting to ask for anything more.. they come over to hand us plastic bags so we're not going to mess up our cars.. no we did not ask for them.

Now.. this is what I call service and the food was AMAZING! We loved everything.. didn't leave anything behind.. I am still eating the portions we ordered and I cant wait to eat it again for dinner! YUMMY! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for their service

Dietary restrictions: Its fully vegetarian.. but I think you can ask to make things vegan.. its really just butter or ghee they will need to refrain from adding.“

“Their food is so good it should be illegal!“

“Place where you get the best party hall, food and wholesome experience!“

“Tasty food, family style and friendly service.“

“Came to check out this new restaurant for my husband's birthday dinner. Being the sister restaurant of well known Ettan & Copra, we were indeed very excited for our meal here. Of course, we were also excited to check out what they have brought in terms of decor to this new establishment, as the decor at their other 2 restaurants is quite exceptional. This one didn't disappoint us. My only complaint though was the lighting was way too low.

We got the bellweather farm ricotta, celeriac & pineapple kebab, chicken yakhni pulao and the Indian milk cake ice cream. The ricotta dish was decent. Pineapple kebab was outstanding with the tandoor char and the sauce it came in. The chicken in the yakhni pulao was cooked very soft and tender. But, I don't know if $32 justifies that quantity. They gave the condiments for only half of a small vessel. When we ran out of raita, we asked for some more and they said there will be an extra charge for it, which I felt isn't the right thing for them to do. The milk cake ice cream was wonderful, definitely try it.

Our server Daisy gave exceptional service. They also gave a small mango sorbet with a candle knowing that it's my husband's birthday. Overall it was a good experience, would love to come back again for another occasion to try other dishes on the menu.“

“Very good restaurant and Great food Thanks for nice service ... 5 Stars ⭐️“

“We ordered Vijaywada Chicken Biryani and I must say it was delicious. As the name suggest , it was very spicy . I don’t generally eat this spicy but loved it . The real authentic biryani flavor with South Indian twist . Will definitely try again .
And the quantity was sufficient for 2 persons.“

“During my recent visit to Ananda Bhavan, I ordered their uttappam and rava dosa. The uttappam was soft and generously topped with onions and chilies, offering a pleasant taste. The rava dosa was crisp with a subtle flavor, accompanied by sambar and chutneys that complemented the dish well.

While both items were enjoyable, they didn't quite capture the authentic flavors found in India. The dishes lacked the depth and richness characteristic of traditional South Indian cuisine. However, considering the challenges of sourcing authentic ingredients abroad, this is understandable.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dosas and other South Indian specialties, making it a popular choice among locals. The ambiance is casual, and the service is efficient. Prices are slightly higher compared to other South Indian eateries in the area, but the quality is decent.“

“PSA they have dessert dosas now. For the adventurous eater, I’m sure.

Been coming here for a few years, since they opened.

Consistently excellent dosas. Probably the only dosa place I drag people to from out of town.

This used to be a Mexican restaurant so a lot of the lively colors have been kept.

Pretty inexpensive and a great place to go to after a busy Costco shopping session next door.

Gets busy on the weekends. Come around 5pm on a weekday to get quick service and the freshest of the day.

The staff are incredibly polite and professional. Packaging is great.

Living the Fremont dream ✌🏼“

“Awesome food!!! Yummy Soy chap🤩“

“It's amazing food with amazing customer service. Shahi paneer/ butter, chicken
Plain Naan and Garlic Naan are very yummy/ Delicious. They also treat you like a family. Specially Employee name Kiran is very friendly with good customer service skill . This restaurant will provide you Very good customer service.“

“Chaat House has the cutest homely interior with old school TVs playing old Bollywood movies. You have a view of the cooks working hard in the kitchen and there is a very casual vibe. The cashiers and workers are really kind m, but they do not go above and beyond in any way. I usually get takeout of the rotis and a mango lassi. The prices for the rotis are quite cheap which I appreciate. $6.50 for 10 rotis. Talk about a deal! The rotis are soft and authentic, and this is quite visible when you first look at the roti. The rotis are of decent size and they remain fresh in their aluminum foil. For a delicious dessert I usually get a mango lassi as well. The mango lassi is a bit more expensive at $4 per drink. The mango lassi comes cold and tastes tart and fresh! OVERALL, the food for the price is very fresh and tasty, so I definitely recommend this joint to others as a causal place to dine. I will definitely be coming again when I get cravings for some refreshing mango lassi and soft roti!

Vegetarian options: All vegetarian options and many vegan options“

“The best puris in the Bay Area. This place has hands down the best puris to use for pani puri and are difference between average and great pani puri. They also have a small variety of other equally delicious fried snacks. The puris sell out pretty fast so make sure you get there early.

They only accept cash/Venmo(extra 5%).“

“Great experience! Food was fresh, served quickly and delicious. Loved the customer service! Will definitely be coming back! Wishing you guys the best!“

“Unassuming little hole in the wall that can barely seat 8 but serves incredible food. I got the pesarattu upma and was delighted by the texture and the flavors. The upma was just right and the sambar and chutney were on point.

The poori was a bit on the dry side but the chole more than made up for it.

Unfortunately chai is still served with no sugar, but it made for a good ending. This will be on my favorites list!“

“Delicious lunch, good portions“

“I had a delicious food and a true taste of India at RRR. I liked chicken biryani, Karvepaku chicken and chicken 65. My kids liked Butter chicken with NaaN. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

Kid-friendliness: Kids have French fries, NaaNs and butter chicken“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chaat House and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for what would be a delicious meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making great recommendations for both food and drinks.

They offer an incredible experience for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. Whether you’re a fan of mild or bold flavors, there’s something for everyone here. Highly recommend!“

“very yummy 😋 unlimited vegetarian Thali, with lots of curries, rice, roti sweet“

“Always good and on time...“

“We recently hosted a Diwali gathering at Banquet Hall at Brundavan, and it was a wonderful experience! The food was exceptional specially nizami handi and biryani. They had a variety of options to choose from. A special mention to Mr. Raju, and kirthi who truly made the entire event seamless from booking to end. Overall was a great time.“

“I was never a fan of Lamb Gosht curry until I tried it at this restaurant. The gravy here is noticeably thicker, with a subtle hint of tomato flavor that set it apart from others I’ve had. In a well-prepared curry like this, the meat almost melts into the sauce, blending seamlessly—a result of slow cooking over hours, and it’s clear the restaurant has put in the effort to achieve that perfection.“

“This is our go to place for North Indian food. Love the Chole bhature, paneer masala , malai kofta, vegetarian thali among other dishes. Service is great! Deserts are great, reminds of India. It’s my go to place. Gurwinder Singh is awesome, friendly and at the same professional. He ll give you some best recommendations and make your meal perfect!!“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“Overall really flavorful full, some of the richest butter chicken I’ve had. However they were kinda slow to make my order took around 20-25 minutes when dining in. But it was definitely worth it, they give you nearly a pint of butter chicken and you can order a pretty large side of rice but I recommend you get the rice and naan to clean up all the sauce. Overall pretty good I just think they could be a bit faster.“

“This place is amazing! The food was fantastic, reminding me of authentic desi food!! It took them a little bit to bring our naan,but at the end even though it was super busy. One of the guys came apologizing for the delay and also brought us 5 masala chai and lassi on house, If I wasn’t visiting San Francisco, I would 100% come back!“

“This family-owned Indian restaurant is a true find!

The food service is impressively quick, making it perfect for both a quick bite or a full meal with friends and family. The warmth and hospitality of the owners add to the experience, making you feel at home from the moment you walk in.

Their combos are money saving and fulfilling. They have small seating area, but mostly people do take-out.

Try puran poli, khajur poli and you will love it.“
