A very nice place for family or group of friends..We ordered chat, Indian Chinese and bowl of Malai kofta.Can't say which one was the best as all of that matched our taste and expectations.The owners are very kind and friendly. All in all, worth repeating, value for money and highly recommended.
Not sure what that is supposed to be, dry chicken, a ton of raw onion?!!!! Would not recommend to order there.

Horrible bakery! Their baked items are very old and are rotten. Eggless cup cake was filled with molds. Paneer puff was so old. Their food made my stomach sick. Please don't buy anything from this

Food was not good, Service is too bad. so both rating is one star. Atmosphere was ok. If food is bad but service is good at least we feel some happiness. Also i noticed these people take care of service only for white Americans . So much discrimination.Wont go back again.

I haven't ordered food from this location for dining but definitely visited their store to buy food items such as Pizza bread, Samosas and Paneer Puffs.Overall, I loved their Pizza bread but some of their food items didn't seem that fresh. Whenever I've visited their location, the staff have been super friendly and accommodating although there isn't much of an ambience on the inside (shop does seem pretty old and doesn't have a dining space)

Combo was decent but the appetizer plate was wasted because it was stale soggy and tasteless...waisted $10 and had to throw it away

I considered Passage To India to be my favorite Indian Restaurant in Santa Clara County, and one I always enjoyed visiting at their old location. However, the current status of the restaurant is ambiguous from both their webpage, and this Yelp page. My wife and I went there for dinner Aug 14, 2023, and they had removed all seating for dining. The employee informed us that the restaurant is now "takeout only". They also have a large bakery in another part of the building, but it is closed on Mondays. We may try it some other time when we are driving through Mountain View, and can place an order ahead of time and pick it up on our way home - if so, I'll report back in a revised review. Until then, I hope the owners will update their website to make the status clearer. I'm a little confused by the review from Betsy about the lunch buffet, unless they've make changes in the past two months, since they definitely didn't look set up to host that when we visited today.
First off, I don't eat indian food, its my moms bday and she loves it. I wanted to get her something she liked. Walked in and asked a simple question and lady taking my order was super rude didn't offer any advice or help. I hope anyone who reads this thinks carefully of who they are supporting.

I can't rate the atmosphere, as they only do take out. However their food and service is top notch. Best Indian food in the Valley.Vegetarian options: they have a very extensive menu you don't even list what I ordered.Parking: Parking lot directly in front of the restaurant as well as street parking

Recommended dishes: Vegetable Pakora and Chana Masala, Naan

Love the lunch buffet. Especially when they have the fish. This is a go to spot for my friend and I. It isn't even a discussion anymore, we just know we're going there if we have lunch together. Always leave satisfied.

Beware, they put nuts in their Chicken Tikka Masala!If you have food allergies, ask about every single thing you get here, or just opt out of eating here. Unfortunately, typically "safe" dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala are not safe for folks with nut allergies at this restaurant. As someone with a nut allergy who has never had an issue with this dish at any restaurant until now, I learned the hard way that this place decided to go against convention and put nuts in it. Hopefully this review can help others avoid the same mistake.FWIW the food is good, if you aren't allergic to it.
