We started with the samosas, and wow – they were on another level! Hot and crispy on the outside, perfectly spiced filling inside, and that magical “time release” effect where the flavor hits you a few seconds after the first bite… OMG, pure heaven! 🥟✨

“New Owners! Delicious Persian and Pakistani (alternate pages of menu). We had their paneer appetizer). It had big cubes of soft Pakistani cheese in a tomato based cream sauce with finely chopped ginger. Fabulous. We also enjoyed a grilled eggplant with a Persian yogurt cultured from sheep and goat milks. The butter chicken was exceptional: he grills his chicken, chops it, then adds the juicy chunks of meat into his delectable sauce. His ground beef kabob was juicy and tender. I enjoyed an inhouse, freshly made mango lassi. Wow! We have enough leftover to enjoy a shared lunch tomorrow.“

“Recalling the Tastes of Godavari
If you ever want to relive the rich and authentic flavors of Godavari cuisine, you must try the Rajahmundry Chicken Biryani at Biryani’s and Chats.
I visited with a friend and it was truly one of the most flavorful and memorable biryanis I’ve ever tasted.
Kudos to the owners and the chefs for their dedication and passion, they’ve perfectly captured the soul of Godavari in every bite.“

“Hands down, the best Indian food I’ve ever eaten. Great portion sizes, and flavorful as heck. Had some Tikka Masala that was fantastic and a pizza naan stuffed with cheese. Excellent service and free dessert! Amazing experience. You Should Eat Here!!!!“

“We have searched so many Indian restaurants. This is by far the best tasting food outside of India. Anjoo is still talking about her Chole bhatura. Everything is made from the love of taste. Five out of five stars. I dare anyone after tasting the food to say anywhere outside of India is better prepared.“

“Whenever we come here, we’re attended to with the utmost care. The service is always wonderful, the food is amazing and truly authentic, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It’s such a family-friendly restaurant, and we always leave happy.“

“This place is clean and great food excellent service.we love the delicious food. We recommend friends and family. Today we went to lunch non veg and tandoori chicken is great and went back again for dinner. Delicious“

“Had an amazing experience at Fuzion Bistro in Rancho Cordova! The food was absolutely delicious, and a few dishes really stood out. The Fish Tandoori was perfectly seasoned with just the right amount of smoky flavor, tender on the inside with a nice char on the outside. The White Sauce Pizza was rich and creamy without being too heavy—each bite was packed with flavor. And the Baingan Bharta? Easily one of the best I’ve had, with that deep, roasted eggplant flavor coming through beautifully. On top of the great food, the service was friendly and efficient, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. Definitely a spot worth visiting if you’re in the area. Will be back for sure!“

“Great food, we loved the pan fried chicken momo's. Also chicken curry was awesome with egg or shrimp fried rice. 👌“

“Delicious food with amazing service!“

“Excellent choice to stop on the way to South Lake Tahoe. Very clean place, helpful and kind staff and good quality food. The place is also kid friendly.

As a bonus, there is an amazing indian ice cream parlour next to this 😅“

“Tried the weekend buffet. Very tasty and fresh. Was quite busy so took a bit to refill the buffet. Overall everything was delicious and lots of variety. Staff was friendly but tend to be soft spoken so hard to hear when busy. Food was a bit spicy but overall delicious. Clean and bright restaurant.“

“Great 😊 customer service delicious 😋 food 🍱“

“The food is really good. We tried many things on the menu. I really like the kabobs and daal with rice and garlic naan bread. The service was really good/friendly. Everything seems made to order and fresh. The ambiance is very traditional. Went there two days in a row.“

“When it comes to Indian food in the Folsom area, there’s nothing better for your buck, tastebuds, or gut than this spot. There’s plenty of options for those that are vegetarian which is why we looked into this spot. My best friend is Indian and I grew up with many of these vegetarian selections, but if you are an omnivores, like me - they got ya covered too.

They have the best butter chicken in town! By far, and the rice they give with it is supreme. The garlic naan melts with the flavors you savor. One thing they can upgrade is the atmosphere of the restaurant but when the food is this good - who cares?“

“I taste Dosa only ,Taste is very good and delicious. I never such taste earlier.“

“We went for my husband's birthday dinner. We were a big group of about 23 people. We ordered over 36 dishes, and every meal came out piping hot and fast. Ayushi and Preet were meticulous about taking the orders and serving us. It made for a fabulous experience. Definitely going back!!!“

“First time here and I’ll be back! Beef kabab was tender and flavorful, with house-made sauces that make the rice sing. Hospitable staff, complimentary tea if you dine in, and overall—delicious! Hot tip: order online if you’re in a rush, kababs take time. Extra bonus: it’s a family-run spot, not a chain, so every bite supports local.“

“Tasty food I recommend 👌👌“

“We went today and it was great! Friendly staff and fantastic food. 5 STARS. We will be returning, for sure.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Welcoming atmosphere with great service. The food was fantastic with nice variety! Kids loved it too ☺️“

“Delicious food. I eat it every time I’m in town 🥰“

“We order Catering for all our staff once a month and the deliever the best food always. The restaurant is owned by our owners cousion, so I always had a thought that due to the owners influence we get some extra ordinary food for catering. But then I went in with my Family on one of Friday night to check the rstaurant and it was much more better when we ordered the food for Dine in. Those Sizzling Platters were just Amazing. Must Try out Place For Caterings, To Go & Dine in. The believe in perfection -Manager Redline Tires & Wheels - Roseville“

“Love this place. Not much to look at inside but great food. Combo of Mexican and Indian food. I have had the burritos, tacos, quesadillas, french fries, samosas with yummy sauces, and chicken tiki masala (available on weekends) and have never been disappointed. The prices are reasonable too.“

“Great quality food, excellent prompt service and amazing ambiance. Enjoy“

“Beef curry, polaw, Bangladeshi dishes is sooo good� I really enjoyed it �“

“Food was delicious and authentic. Spices were on point, chicken was tender and juicy, samosas were spiced with great thought and care. Presentation was delightful. Interior was a bit clashy since it had look of old location mixed with new designs. Seats looked like they came from a wedding. Chandelier was missing 3-4 beads so looked off-putting. Window curtains were too flashy would be better with rolling blinds. Decorations did not have an appeal. A mural done by a local middle eastern college student could really showcase better. Wood paneling needs to go along with booths since they looked old and worn-down. Buffet food looked delicious, but needs a sneeze guard. Cashier table was in the back with unused buffet area and too much cluttering of tables. Dirty dishes in a tub should never be visible or left next to buffet. Salad should be on top of a bed of ice to ensure temp. Clutter at cash register needs to be out of sight. Spiced tea was delicious along with serving of water. Floor was clean though could use a buffering. Wiring visible and signs old and not mounted properly. Foiled upper design was interesting. 3 TV's mounted that were too close together and not being used. Lights changing too fast and blinking giving more of a party vibe than a restaurant. Beautiful couch but with leg missing in a corner was not necessary. Speakers should be put away until their use. Lots of improvement needed for front interior, but with the food being delicious and mouthwatering, I will definitely come back hungry for more.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“I don't even know what to say about Namaste foods other than I've never had anything that I didn't like from there. the food tastes wonderful. I was just at Sac Yard brewing where your truck was and had the samosas and the butter chicken fries and everything was hot fresh and tasty. the food is very gourmet tasting. fresh, hot and very well prepared!! I actually like it better than some of the fine establishments I've been to here locally. that's the best I can say to describe this truck. in this day and age of restaurants not seeming to care about their product this is a welcomed port in the proverbial storm! thank you Namaste Foods for caring! ❤️“

“Wonderful experience at Ruchi, as always. The server was so polite, food was so delicious. You can tell everything is made for order. My husband and I frequent here. The lunch buffet is unbeatable in price and taste!! If you get the buffet, try the chai tea, you won’t regret it.

Don’t mind the half eaten food in the pics, we couldn’t wait!“

“This place is legit. Everything we had was fantastic: Curry Chicken Masala Pizza Pepperoni and Cheese Pizza Masala Chips Desi Garlic Sticks Chocolate Chip Cookie“

“What a great find this was. The absolute best Indian food I have ever had Service is fantastic as well!! I will absolutely be going back!“

“I always enjoy their cooking. Besides the food, I like the friendly staff! I recommend dining with them.“

“A gorgeous new place! Exceptional food quality, excellent service, and the decor is fine dining worthy.“

“Excellent food and service! The Paya was rich and flavorful, and the Chicken Daal tasted just like home. Everyone working there was very respectful and friendly, which made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Tandoori Nights for anyone who loves authentic Pakistani and Indian cuisine!“

“Catered food from the restaurant.. able to pick up on time.was told to pay in cash.
Mint/ cilantro chutney for mixed vegetable pakora was frothy and like rasam..very watery. Pakoras were more like onion than mixed vegetables. Starter paneer dish was almost charred..chicken drum sticks were also a little overdone. Chicken curry was great, but was packed in a single half tray and was not double packed..hence was messy to deal with. Naans were not packed right, hence very soggy.“

“For a little hole in the wall place the Food was good, very friendly staff. I went early in the morning around 7am I think and not many people. The only thing I didn't like was that you can't order lunch in the morning I guess I got used to that at other places. I worked overnight and would get off around 7am and wanted lunch or dinner not breakfast. And I really wanted to try their curry dishes and they didn't have a Curry option for breakfast. But the breakfast was good,will definitely try it again.“

“Love the lunch combo!All the dishes are cooked to perfection!Awesome service!“

“I've passed by this place many times but never went in. One day I got a coupon in the mail and was intrigued. Prices are good. And they serve Indian food too, what?!? I had to try it. And ya know what? I was not disappointed. The decor has that old school diner vibe. The people are nice. And the butter chicken I had was very creamy and tasty. Though this isn't a fancy hip new joint, it's fun to have Indian food in a place called country kitchen. For that I'll give it all the stars.“

“Vada Pav is back and delicious. Goat Mutton and Pav Bhaji - Yummy!!!“

“Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. Delicious!“
