17 Best Indian Restaurants in Oakland

“The restaurant itself is not in the best location, and the interior and bathroom isn't the best. But we went in and were welcomed so warmly for dinner when the place wasn't busy. We got the chicken biryani, garlic naan, and chicken tikka masala. The biryani is one of the best I have ever had in the US and the garlic naan was perfect and fluffy but crispy. The chicken tikka masala was creamy, not overcooked, and well seasoned. The best Indian restaurant we went to in East Bay. Would come again.“

“Absolutely delicious cuisines, lovely ambience, excellent customer service and friendly staff. 100% recommend!! ❤️“

“Awesome to have a quick, clean, and tasty Indian restaurant in town. Pani puri, malai kofta, and garlic naan were all great. This is quick and easy North Indian fare. Service is exceptional and while busy, I didn’t have to wait for a table for 1. If you are looking for Indian food in Berkeley, this is a solid choice.“

“Hole in the wall with delicious food! Today we had saag with potatoes (medium spicy was SO tasty) and vegetable korma with vegetable dumplings and sesame naan. Big fan of the sesame naan! Our usual order is bindi (okra) and lamb vindaloo, and veggie samosas - all of which we consistently love. My husband also got the cumin-spiced lemonade but thought it was a bit salty.“

“Bopping in to town to see Harry Mack at Fox Theater, we parked around the corner and wanted something to eat. I saw the phrase Indian Street Food on the window, mentioned it to Brian and it was immediately decided. I am stoked, because the food was delicious!! The tikka masala was great, mango chutney to die for, salsa with my rice (sooooo good, you have no idea!!), and if I wasn't on a diet I'd have the El Jefe burrito, which is a burrito made with naan!!! Check this place out if you're anywhere near one! I believe they have multiple locations.“

“AMAZING momos. The pani puri is FANTASTIC. it’s packaged perfectly so you can take it home and eat it. No problem. The chili chicken momos r my favorite. And always get pani puri. 10/10. Favorite spot in Oakland.

“Food was absolutely amazing. The chicken tikka masala was awesome. They did a good job accommodating our family's preference for very mild spice. Patient with our menu indecision. Friendly staff, clean floors and tables and parking is easy around there. My kids said it was the best Gulob Jamun they ever had.“
