25 Best Indian Restaurants in Milpitas

“Great location and delicious Indian cuisine. Ambience is excellent. Menu covers wide variety of south and North Indian dishes“

“I came here to order a takeaway around 6.30ish.
I got spicy pav bhaji, and tried the new items a vada pav and the dabeli.
They hand a buzzer which will let you know when the order is ready.
The order was ready quickly.
The vada pav was very authentic with the dry chutney powder and the chillies. It was crispy and right amount of spicy.
The dabeli was tangy and sweet and the right combo with the crispy peanuts
The spicy amul pav bhaji was what brought me here.
The pav was loaded with butter and spices.
The bhaji was a bit large quantity and loaded with butter.
The bhaji has little heavy flavor to lavang/elaichi but was good overall.
Definitely gonna be back for the other new items“

“Came to the mall to waste some time, but I was hungry. I wanted something easy, healthy and quick. I spotted the decals on the window of chicken biryani and butter chicken and it made me pause. This is a small dine in with table service or carry out place. Family run and owner. I ordered the chicken biryani. I don’t like spicy so they did mild. It was absolutely delicious. I wish I had a bigger appetite so I could order more. I highly recommend! Good for kids too because you share the meals.“

“After a tiring vacation, this was exactly what we were looking for – a meal that feels homely yet festive, relaxing and soul-satisfying in every sense. Royal Thaali in Milpitas delivered just that, and then some! The bright and cheerful space was bustling with families and groups, all diving into their unlimited thalis with visible delight, and we were about to join that happy brigade.

What makes their thali special is how every element fits together like little pieces of a puzzle, each complementing the other so beautifully, or should I say, so tastefully. The meal began with a nicely churned and spiced buttermilk that arrived promptly, setting the tone for what was to come. As the server started filling all the little utensils on our plate, our appetite built up steadily, almost like watching a performance unfold before the main act.

The kala chana masala was a pleasant surprise – usually this dish comes devoid of any gravy, but here it had this thin, soup-like consistency that was lightly spiced and tasted incredibly refreshing. It paired beautifully with the accompanying kadhi, creating a harmony that was comforting and familiar. The dry paneer curry had that rustic, dhaba-like quality with minced tomatoes and onions that took me straight back to roadside eateries on highway trips.

But the show-stealer, hands down, was the aloo curry made with karela. Now, karela isn't everyone's favorite, me thinks, but the way they've incorporated it here offered a unique and pleasant bitter taste that elevated the entire dish. It was bold yet balanced, and honestly, I couldn't stop going back for more. The cabbage curry was as homely as it could be, the kind your grandmother would make on a lazy Sunday afternoon.

What really impressed me was the service – the ghee-laced phulkas and masala pooris kept coming to our table piping hot, even without us asking for them. The staff was attentive and the refills came just at the right time, making the entire experience nothing short of impeccable. There's something to be said about a restaurant where the service flows so seamlessly that you barely notice it happening.

And then came the desserts, which were truly the icing on the cake. The kheer arrived perfectly chilled, laced generously with kesar, and tasted phenomenal. Each spoonful was creamy, fragrant, and just the right amount of sweet. But what blew me away was the malai kalakand – easily the freshest I've had anywhere in the Bay Area. It was soft, milky, and had that melt-in-your-mouth quality that only comes from using the finest ingredients and making it fresh.

All in all, Royal Thaali is something you absolutely should not miss if you're in Milpitas and around.“

“We ordered dahi puri, palak chaat, chicken achari kabab and lollipop chicken for starters, along with few garlic naan, butter naan, laccha paratha, malai kofta and chicken lababdar. Most of the dishes are above average and the ambience is very nice and clean. However the service stands out over all this . Our server shanty was very friendly, attentive and took great care of us.“

“Outstanding food at Chup Chaap Truck in Milpitas.
The Amritsari naan was perfectly crisp outside and soft inside with authentic flavor, and the kadai chicken had a rich, bold masala that tasted just like classic Punjabi dhaba cooking.

Simple, flavorful, and very satisfying. Definitely a must-try if you’re in the area.“

“The Onam Sadhya was awesome ! My daughter who’s not much into spice loved it ! Thank you ! Yet to try the pothi chorre !“

“Amazing food coupled with generous hospitality“

“Great food. Not a great ambience. Try veg biriyani, naan and Kadai panner.“

“Really flavorful food! Tried the egg juicy mandi, chicken juicy mandi, and nalli gosht mandi.

The egg and chicken were actually juicy and well-seasoned. The rice was nicely flavored too—not too heavy on masala, which I liked.

The nalli gosht was very well cooked, super soft and almost melts in the mouth. Slightly on the drier side, but still good.“

“I really enjoyed the variety of foods that were served and the presentation. Wonderful spice flavors as well as mild to spicy foods. I really enjoyed the biryani dish. Loved the traditional serving dishes like clay pots and drinking cups. The restaurant decor is well done too. Very traditional restaurant all around.“

“Amazing find. Authentic Bengali Cuisine in the Bay Area for all the people missing Bengali food. Be it the chicken / egg rolls or the mishti doi or Tangra Chinese this is the place to check out.“

“Have maintained their food quality. Good service, nice staff.“

“Im a Filipino and I love this place. Its clean and the food is amazing. The waiters are nice and well trained as well.“

“We recently hosted a wedding sangeet at Aria Banquet Hall, and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. From the very beginning, the team was warm, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Every query was answered with patience, and they guided us through the process—from initial planning to final touches like decor—with true professionalism and care. A special shout-out to Atinder, the manager, and her phenomenal team. Their service was fantastic throughout. What really stood out was their timely and smooth event management. When a last-minute situation arose that required quick action, Atinder didn’t hesitate—she went above and beyond to make sure everything was handled seamlessly and with grace. The food was exceptional, and it was clear that a lot of thought had gone into planning the menu. During the tasting, Atinder offered great suggestions that suited our multicultural crowd. Thanks to her insight, we were able to cater to a variety of tastes and dietary preferences, which our guests absolutely loved. Overall, Aria Banquet Hall provided the perfect backdrop for our special day. Kudos to Atinder and her entire team for making our wedding sangeet truly memorable. We are so grateful and would highly recommend this venue to anyone looking for a well-run, elegant, and accommodating event space.“

“Ambiance is good, large enough space, but be prepared to spare at wait time. Ordered thalappakatti chicken and mutton biryani, chicken lollipops also. Taste is amazing. This is the only place I liked them. My first recommendation at milpitas“

“Good for corporate lunches! Nice food and quite for meetings! Lots of parking!“

“Authentic Matathi Food in Bay area....as if you are in Parle or in Pune 👌👌👌👍👍👍❤❤❤“

“amazing vijayadasami thali ...and seamless delivery by godysh...I have been consistently ordering their specials and they have been consistently delivering beyond delicious specials..thank you“

“Man this place was GOOD. I get Indian food a lot and this place is some of the best for South Indian. They were VERY helpful in finding me vegan options when I was turned away from the thali place across the street that said every dish has dairy. I’m so grateful to have found something, and I will definitely be coming back next time I’m in the area!“

“Just traveled from Canada today, my friends couldn’t stop talking about this place. I finally got to try this and it was amazing. It was insane, I can vouch and say this is the best pizza I’ve ever had. Nothing in Canada is even close to this. 10/10 recommended. Please do try their Chilli Paneer and Aloo Chaat. Insane. Best food and an even better service.“

“Super quality Nice service Good place for india food“

“Not sure why this place has low ratings. I’ve ordered Uber pickup 20+ times, and they’ve never disappointed me once!

In my opinion, this is one of the best biriyanis in the Bay Area. Coming from Bangalore, if you like Meghana’s style biryani, you should definitely give this a try.

My top picks are their in-house Special Chicken Boneless Biryani and Vijayawada Chicken Boneless Biryani. They cook the rice to aromatic perfection and take cooking instructions very seriously. This is my go-to spot for biryani now!“

“Amazing. the butter chicken pizza so good so much flavor also had the Desperado pizza very good but butter chicken to die for“
