41 Best Indian Restaurants near Mill Valley

“Had just arrived in San Francisco, and hit the road heading to Sonoma for a wedding this weekend. Looking for a place to have lunch and we found Avatars on line. So, we decided to try it, and we are glad we did. Our meals were cooked fresh to order and they were delicious! Friendly staff and a place we will fondly remember and look forward to trying again on our next trip out here!!“

“Long touted as the best Indian kitchen in Marin, this motel restaurant packs more than just flavor, but also some pleasant surprises.

An all-you-can-eat lunch buffet (hooray!), increasingly hard to find anywhere in the Bay Area post-Covid. A window into the kitchen adds to the dining experience, but also indicative of the high-quality standards of food preparation.

Chicken Tandoori is excellently marinated and perfectly chargrilled. Bone-in Lamb Curry, Vegetable Curry, and Butter Chicken are highlights. Tastes are spicy, but subdued and refined.

Worth a stop-in when driving up from the city to Marin. An excellent meal to warm up with after spending the day on a hike or along the coast.“

“First off, the restaurant is beautifully decorated. All our servers were professional and didn't hover. The food is delicious with healthy serving sizes. The price is right. I'll be back.“

“I really never have enjoyed tasting menus….but Tiya’s tasting menu fully changed my opinion on them. 4/6 dishes were things I probably wouldn’t have ordered on a regular menu so getting to try these dishes was a treat. We supplemented the tasting menu with the chicken gushtaba and the shrimp. They were both so good but the gushtaba was outstanding….Think a chicken meatball in fondue.
Everything was a flavor bomb and I would definitely come back“

“Very hard to overstate how absolutely amazing this place is. The food is superb, the atmosphere is wonderful, and the service goes above and beyond to ensure you have the most perfect experience. Some of the best restaurants in the Bay Area. Extremely recommended!“

“We chose India Clay Oven for hosting a Baby shower, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. We were 25 people and everyone had a great time! The owner Mr. Nirmal(Norman) is a gem of a person. He was very sincere and helped us choose the right menu. He was also able to accommodate a few extra people who showed up! The service was also great, hats off!“

“We ordered chicken curry, dal makhni, garlic naan and mango lassi and were pretty much satisfied with the taste and quality of food. Also the prices were pocket friendly and portion were decent. Would definitely recommend this place for quality Indian food.“

“I loved the variety of flavours at this restaurant. It’s a great place for people who don’t typically eat Indian food, but want to try it. Highlights were the dosa and bone marrow. Only thing is some dishes were a bit dry/tough (the large beef dish and the fried chicken)“

“The food was excellent and mouth watering! The staff, friendly and attentive. I highly recommend.“

“Highly highly recommend. It’s hard for us to go to the city without stopping here to eat, we love bringing new friends here as well. If you love Indian food, this is a great place.

Vegetarian options: There’s a large vegetarian section and they are familiar with vegan and we’re even careful to warn me that one of the items I ordered is not vegan“

“We had a wonderful experience at New Delhi Indian Cuisine in San Rafael. We ordered Palak Paneer, Paneer Tikka Masala, Dal Makhani, Veg Momo, and Chicken Tikka Masala — and every dish was absolutely delicious. The food arrived relatively quickly, was piping hot, and full of rich, authentic flavors.

Everyone at our table loved the meal, and we especially appreciated the generous portions. The taste truly reminded us of how Indian food is meant to be — just like what you’d get in India.

Highly recommend this place for anyone craving flavorful, comforting Indian cuisine. We’ll definitely be back!“

“Enjoyed a beautiful meal here. Food: buryani, naan basket, chicken potato curry, Napalese noodle soup to start. Excellent food, EXCEPT the $9 top Ramen soup starter. Wtf? Wouldn't recommend. Absolutely delightful waiter! Will return.“

“There used to be a different indian restaurant in the space, but it’s under new ownership now and the food is delicious! They are always so friendly and the ambiance is perfect for dining in. Don’t skip the momos! Will be my go-to spot for indian and nepalese food moving forward.“

“Incredible, authentic food. What a delight to discover this place. The chef & family who run it are actually sherpas! The butter chicken curry had so many different flavors, I don’t even know how to describe it, except delicious. Grilled meats and veggies also incredible. Naan prepared to perfection. And the Himalayan hot ginger tea hit the spot!

There’s a reason this restaurant currently has a 4.9 out of 5.0 (Dec 2024). Enjoy!

Parking: Tons of free parking“

“Hey there foodie friends, Guess what? I just had the most delicious and authentic North Indian food during my visit to San Francisco! I never expected to find such yummy flavors in the USA. From buttery naan to spicy curries, my taste buds were dancing with joy! If you ever get the chance, you HAVE to try it out. Trust me, you won't be disappointed! Keep on adventuring and trying new things!“

“Rose Indian is super delicious. Everything was really tasty and well done. Papadam and chutneys came with the meal and I ordered Mixed Pickles, Coconut Vegetable Curry and Roti. The Curry was complex and very flavorful and paired wonderfully with the Roti, which was also fantastic. Loved the Mixed Pickle and Chutneys and the Papadam was light and crispy without being too oily. Really impressed by everything here. Menu is very clearly labeled with vegan entrees and there are a lot of them. Great service as well. Definitely going back soon.“

“Really good Nepalese momo and chwomin there. Recommend everyone to give this a try“

“Chaska Restaurant serves a really nice paneer naan that’s soft, fluffy, and stuffed with flavorful, spiced paneer. The combination of buttery naan and rich paneer makes it a delicious and indulgent treat that pairs perfectly with their curries. A must-try for paneer lovers and anyone looking to elevate their Indian meal!“

“This is a very cozy place with good ambiance, good food and great service.
I had madrasi chicken and it was very creamy and spicy. My spouse had malai kofta, it had a flavor of sweet and spice. For breads we had Naans, garlic and chilly cheese, they were very soft!“

“I attended a birthday dinner here and had the most delicious Indian food ever in my life. everything I tried was amazing, including the mango lassi. the staff was super nice even though we stayed for almost 3 hours talking loudly. they even gave us mango ice cream at the end!“

“I had their lamb roganjosh, aloo Gobi, and chicken chettinand. People might say Pakwan is the place to go for good Indian food in the city, but I was thoroughly impressed with what I ate at Keeva. This is not watered down gringofied Indian food. Absolutely loved the lamb roganjosh, the cauliflower and potatoes were very well spiced, and while I personally didn't like the chettinand, I understand the flavor profile and what that dish is. You're missing out on really delicious Indian food if you're not eating here.“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala and Aloo Naan. It was very good I recommend this restaurant.“

“I got Karahi Gosht and it was authentic and flavorful. Serving quantity was decent as well. I live in the South Bay and most places over there don't get this dish right. 5* from me, for the Karahi Gosht and Naan. Service understandably took some time because they make it fresh and piping hot. And I went there in between performances of standup comedy at Cobb's next door.“

“The best Indian vegetarian food! Organic and amazing seasoning.“

“This place made the tastiest veggie curry dish - I asked for the Channa Masala extra spicy and they did such a great job! Their garlic naan is very good too. I am not an expert or Indian food aficionado. However, I love the taste of their food and the girl I spoke with over the phone was very sweet!“

“Great and delicious food awsome service and great quantinty and quality with desi taste its a place to had a food blast....... ...“

“The food here is absolutely delicious! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the amazing flavors and the amount of food. The saag paneer and cheese naan are my absolute favorites — I can’t get enough! I’ve been three times now, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“I ordered takeout from NEWA. The food was excellent! The paneer tikka masala was super good. We ordered the spicy, and were humbled but honestly that’s what you’re looking for from an Indian/nepalese restaurant. The vegetable momos were unlike any momos I’ve had before but were super flavorful, with great texture & came with a punchy dipping sauce. Definitely have to order from them again!!“
