33 Best Indian Restaurants near Millbrae

“Im guessing based on the items on the menu that this was North Indian/Nepali cuisine. The hakka noodles were amazing and so were their curries. The butter naan was fluffy and soft but a little different from regular Indian naan that I’m used to. But it was a “good” different. Parking was available when we arrived but seeing that it is streetside parking, it might be difficult during packed hours. There seems to be a public parking closer by.“

“extremely bad tasting food and bizzare combinations....miffed at kichadi like biryani with no flavour and being served with aam ka achar....god knows how this restaurant got Michelin star rating ....Shame on the chefs and the owners for ripping off the customers with overpricing of the food for poor service, absence of any ambience or decor“

“We stopped there on our way to catch our flight at SF airport. We were short on time and we placed our order. Our server was fantastic helping us to order and we were served our dinner promptly. There was a feeling that all the staff worked together as a team, looking after all the tables not just their own station. That is a sign of true teamwork. We really enjoyed our dinner there. Food and service~ EXCELLENT!“

“We recently discovered a new local Indian restaurant in our neighborhood, located near Safeway in Pacifica. We tried the goat biryani, chicken curry, and garlic naan, and all dishes were exceptionally flavorful and well-prepared. You might want to customize the spice level; while the restaurant's dishes are milder than other places, they still offer a satisfying heat suitable for those sensitive to spiciness. The portion sizes could be slightly larger to better match the typical serving sizes at similar Indian restaurants in the area, especially considering the price point. The service staff is attentive; they check on your table frequently and ensure a pleasant dining experience. However, adding a selection of imported Indian beers, such as Kingfisher or Taj Mahal, could enhance the authenticity and provide more beverage options for customers. The restaurant features a casual ambiance with a quiet atmosphere, spacious tables, and comfortable seating. I plan to continue supporting this establishment as one of the most authentic local Indian restaurants in Pacifica.“

“We love this place! Saffron offers the best North Indian food in the area (San Carlos / San Mateo) in a warm, welcoming setting.

The food quality is top-notch; our favorites include Lahsooni Saag Paneer, Malai Kofta, and the Aloo Kulcha on the weekend brunch menu. Parking can be a bit tough especially on weekend evenings, but it's worth it!“

“We’ve moved to different parts of SF and have searched high and low for Indian restaurants that could live up to Tilak. We’ve come close but Tilak is really in a league of its own. The butter chicken is so rich and flavorful, hands down the best in SF. Our favorites are the butter chicken and the biryani, which comes topped with strings of sweet caramelized onions. We alwayslook forward to going back.“

“Finally had a time to leave review for this amazing place that we dined 2 times while on our trip to California.

The place is amazing with variety of Indian food options, place is also cozy and the staff is very friendly and welcoming. Coming from
Canada and finding a comfort Indian food, we came across this place and thought to give it a try and our first experience on first day of trip made us come back on the last day of trip too.

Their veggie biryani was everything, their curries were delicious too and the Mango lassi was yummmm 😋

The staff, specially Arjun and Arun were the most amicable and friendly. They provided good suggestions for the food to eat and places to visit as well. Their service was also excellent leaving our experience as memorable as possible.

Will definitely recommend this place for a good, friendly , comfortable qnd welcoming experience for anyone visiting in and around the area.

P.S: @Arjun @Arun hope you remember us as we do( an Indian couple with a 3 yr old whom the complimentary yummy mango lassis was offered ❤️)“

“Excellent pizza, will try again. Pizza crust is authentic, masala is fresh.“

“If definitely satisfied the craving for indian food. My boyfriend and i have nut allergies and the staff was very attentive and made sure there would be no cross contamination. The chicken vindaloo was great paired with the garlic naan and the complimentary rice they serve you. The chana masala was decent but not my favorite that i’ve tried. Overall the service was great and the food was good and comes close to my favorite indian spot in north beach. Will definitely be back!“

“Outstanding Indian food in a casual and cozy location. The food here is probably the best Indian food I've had anywhere. We had the Butter Chicken and Lamb Vindaloo with garlic naan. Both dishes were authentic tasting and superbly prepared. Neither dish was overpowering in spices or heat. You could tell fresh spices, seasonings and ingredients were used. Servings were ample too.“

“The food! The spinach paneer was delicious & the chicken Tikka Masada had a nuanced spicing that was scrumptious! The mint sauce had a nice bite and the tamarind sauce was yummy. The clayoven thali for two is an incredible value.“

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.“

“Very nice decor Pleasantly surprised The food was flavorful And they gave good portions We will eat there again“

“Tried Curry Pizza House in Kent, WA for the first time. Great flavors! Wonderful wings, Desi bread, and pizza! The mango lassis are yummy. Definitely check it out!“

“wow Big Brother Special is a must so delicious ...“

“My husband and I have been enjoying dining at Clay Oven in San Mateo for several months. I love high-quality proteins and highly recommend this tasty Indian restaurant for an outstanding dining experience, especially the tandoori chicken and prawns that are truly exceptional. The next-door bar is also available for evening alcoholic drinks that are serviced in the restaurant.“

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

“🧆🧆🧆 **5 Stars All The Way!** 🌟

Just tried the falafel plate at **Halal Shop San Francisco** and OMG — it’s next-level delicious! 😍 The falafels were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and that creamy white sauce with the spicy red drizzle took it to another dimension 🔥🔥🔥! The rice was fluffy, the salad was super fresh, and the whole plate looked like a piece of art 😋💚

The vibes were great, service was fast, and everything tasted 100% fresh and halal 🕌✨

📍 **Halal Shop**
Alcove C, Cesar Chavez Student Center

Can’t wait to come back for more! 🧆💥🧆💚🧆🔥🧆“

Every dish we tried; from momo and choila to chicken chilly, naan curry, and biryani was packed with authentic taste. The staff are warm and welcoming, making every visit a pleasure. If you’re in the area, this place is an absolute must-try!“

“Nan N Curry is one of the best spots in town for authentic Pakistani and Indian food. The flavors are rich, the naan is always soft and fresh, and the curries taste perfectly balanced. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and the service is fast even during busy hours. Highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan — absolutely delicious!“

“very delicious and scrumptious“

“If I could eat here every day I would. This is my new favorite place. To say I inhaled the Makhni Butter Burrito is true. The incredible flavor, my favorite things puts together burrito/Indian food, this was just amazing and I can’t express how much I am looking forward to coming here more often as the entire menu looked mouthwatering.“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...“

“Dosa Express was amazing! The owner was friendly and the service was great. We came in for breakfast, and the food was so tasty and reminded us of Kurnool-style flavors that we ended up ordering takeout too. The ghee podi idli was the best I’ve had (even better than Mylapore in Sunnyvale). We also took Gongura rice and Coconut rice to go, and both were delicious. Highly recommend!“

“I was there about a hour and a half ago they were very friendly I ordered the Zante’s special I left Zante pizza to wait for my pizza to be ready my mind was not here due to just leaving a funeral!!!! I left my purse and my phone on the chair by time I realized I panicked ran back up the street to Zante’s and my phone and purse was sitting right where I left it I was so relieved and grateful!!! Great people that work there and great Atmosphere“

“Yummy food. Highly recommend“
