43 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.“

“Have been here a few times now, and Tiya has been consistent with the quality of food and service. I ended up taking their tasting menu everytime so can only comment to those .. and they never disappointment. Being a person of Indian origin, I must say that they have done justice to the flavours of India... a modern take on traditional flavours while maintaining the true essence.“

lots of nice touches like mint in the water carafe. The Service was so attentive. The food was really outstanding wonderful flavors, some of the best tikka masala and vindaloo anywhere.“

“Everything was so good! I took my cousin here for her first time trying Indian food, and she loved it. We had the chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, garlic naan, fish pakora, and rice - all delicious and really generous portions. The tikka masala had a rich, buttery flavor, and the chicken curry tasted super fresh and homemade. The naan was soft with just the right amount of garlic. Plus, our waiter was awesome - super friendly and attentive. Definitely coming back!“

“My family and I had an amazing experience at Sunset Indian Cuisine last night. We love trying new places and this was the one which didn't disappointed us. The ambiance was cozy for a relaxed dinner.
The food we had was so delicious. We started with the noodles, which was amazing with less oil. The Juicy Chicken Momo with chutney on the side was incredible. We also ordered Garlic naan, which was soft and warm, Tandoori chicken, Chicken curry, everything was perfect. The service was perfect with friendly and attentive waiter who was knowledgeable about the menu.
We'll definitely be back to try more of their Indian and Nepalese dishes, and we highly recommend this place to others !“

“The combination of cultural food here is great. Some of the best Indian food I've ever had combined with some unique items from Nepal such as dumplings that seem similar to something you would find at a dim sum restaurant. Overall, the food was outstanding, including high quality sag lamb and great naan bread too.
This is a family restaurant and clearly the people running it care very deeply about providing great service and great food.
Prices are very reasonable too. We had an appetizer, two main courses, and one drink each for a total of $68 before tip.“

“Started with warm greetings and complimentary little cups of Dal. Ordered 3 big beautiful meals, got served in under 15 minutes. Momo, chowmein, and biryani, a quintessential Nepali order. All tasted fabulous. Spice levels were offered, a Nepali tongue needs 8+ for mittho spicy levels. Partly because it transported me to 2010s Lhasso restaurant in old baneshwor Kathmandu, I was blown away by the momo platter. Thank you for the pleasant experience, will surely visit again.“

“I had a great experience. The server was probably busy and the one who accommodated me was actually doing dishes. Later, both of them helped me pick a palate. Jhol momo’s jhol was a bit thick for my taste but it did taste wonderful. Very good atmosphere, very good service and tasty food.“

“Had lunch with my family today
Just want to share my experience
A very warm welcome with a pleasant smile 😍
It was a table for 7, for a small get together
The the service was great, there was no disappointment
About the food I really have no words as everything was the best, chicken xacuti , prawns curry, naan , chicken lollipops
I really enjoyed all the dishes. This was much beyond my expectations.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone“

“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!“

“One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!
Staff were beyond warm and welcoming; they shared their culture with us alongside their cuisine.
The butter chicken, mango lassi, gol gappa, chai, and everything else was perfect and in great portion sizes.
10/10, will eat again“

“The menu covers both Indian and Nepalese dishes. We ordered Tandoori Chicken Kebab, Mutton Kebab, Dal Makhani, Chicken Momos, and Naan. The tandoori chicken and mutton kebabs had a nice smokiness and rich meatiness. The restaurant is also willing to adjust spice levels based on your preference, which is a plus. The chicken momos had a juicy filling and a good texture. The Dal Makhani—a butter-rich lentil dish—was creamy and flavorful. The naan was a bit thick; it would have been better if it were slightly thinner and puffier. We also tried the Nepalese beer, but it wasn’t as good as expected. Overall, the service was pleasant, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming.“

“Tara Indian Cuisine is the best I have tried!! The people are super friendly and fun, the food is amazing ( my personal favorite on the menu is the kheer) not crowded and portions are amazing. Amazing experience both eating in person and ordering to go. I highly recommend 🤩.“

“Taj is excellent. We order from here all the time. Mainstays like tikka masala are great, as are vegetarian options, such as baingan bhartha or saag paneer. The naan is also very tasty. Highly recommend the tandoori salmon or shrimp curry if you’re looking for a seafood option. It’s all good! Super nice staff is a plus.“

“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!“

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

“Beyond the absolutely delicious and flavorful food (the best I've had in a long time), the service and the kindness of the staff truly blew me away.
I visited quite close to their closing time, and instead of rushing us or making us feel unwelcome, they were incredibly patient and warm. What really exemplified their exceptional hospitality was when they went above and beyond and offered me a complimentary, appreciation cup of coffee as we were finishing up.
This simple, generous gesture speaks volumes about how much they value their customers. It’s clear they are run by genuinely good people. If you want fantastic Indian food served with heart, you must visit! Thank you for a wonderful experience—I will definitely be back!“

“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.“

“Lunch buffet is really good and at a fair price.“

“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 recently visited this Indian restaurant for their buffet, and I was really impressed! The food selection was excellent — a wonderful variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes, all rich in authentic flavor. The biryani, butter chicken, and paneer curry were especially delicious, and everything was fresh and nicely presented.
The restaurant maintained a clean and comfortable atmosphere, and the service was quick and attentive. The manager Sue was exceptionally friendly and made sure guests felt welcome, checking in personally to ensure everything was satisfactory.
Overall, it was a great dining experience with amazing food and warm hospitality. I’ll definitely be coming back and recommending it to friends and family.“

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

“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.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“We got chhole and pav bhaji. I found the spices and oils were not over the top which is amazing. Bedmi poori with chhole was not oily at all but at the same it it was soft and tasty. Felt like when mom makes something restraunt style. Dahi puri chat was also nice.“

“I Definitely recommend their momos. its super tasty and juicy.“

“Support excellent food and a longtime San Francisco tradition!“

“Su personal y su comida está deliciosa y accesible sus precios están bastante cómodos está muy rica su comida“

“This is our second time or so ordering from here. Absolutely delicious ! Vada pav (with three sauces) is stunning and also the Egg Hakka noodles with Schezwan sauce which was perfect! Takes me back to my childhood in India. Authentic, high quality and consistent ! Will order again“

“We had a great meal here on a quiet Tuesday night, and I’d love for more people to know what a gem this spot is! The food was tasty — we had a variety of vegetarian dishes — and the service was super friendly. I loved the calming water feature and a lack of screens in the dining room; the presence of screens seems to be becoming the norm at more casual restaurants. Looking forward to coming here regularly!“

“Amazing place! Everything I order from here is delicious. If you dine in you receive some kind of flat bread with sauces (highly recommended). Ordered fish a few times and it was cooked just right. Lamb meatballs (hydrabati kofta) and chicken tikki masala might be my favorites.“

“Just stopped in as a business owner staying at the Clancy hotel up the street and found this place open. They were amazingly open towards helping me with my food choices since I haven’t been always open to it. I wanted simple, not too spicy and they nailed it. I got a great simple chicken appetizer followed by an easy lamb dish with potatoes. Holy moly! She came back with a small dessert on the house.Don’t expect a freebie when you come but I always love it when I’m appreciated. Give these guys a chance. They are special. They now have cocktails too. I happened to stumble in on the week they got their license.“

“You go to this kind of places for the love of food.... and it does delivers. Its a very sketchy street, not to be alone in the dark. But the food is incredible (had goat curry with garlic naan). Bathroom? dont ask. Higine? Dont know... but flavor... superb“

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“
