26 Best Indian Restaurants near Pacifica

“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.“

“Visited on a weekday night with a friend. We had the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, papadum and the wings. I also got the mango lassi which was so so good. Everything was so delicious and we've tried a couple of Indian restaurants in SF already -- this was truly outstanding! It was pretty affordable, service was quick and friendly. We will definitely be back.“

“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’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.“

“i am so grateful for Udupi Palace it’s one of my favorite restaurants in the Bay Area everything is so delicious!!! ���South Indian People, Food & Culture ���“

“Great food. Very pleasant waiter. View not so bad either.“

“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.“

“Very tasty Indian food with attentive service. Their chef clearly know what they’re doing—the recipes are absolutely mouth-watering. The restaurant is also very neat and clean. Honestly, I’m surprised to see any bad reviews, because my experience was excellent.“

“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!“

“Amazing!! Enjoyed our dinner very much! Chicken was so tender. The flavor was amazing. Definitely will eat here again!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We went in the evening after dancing. Very nice, very cozy, the freshest hot food, the dessert was especially delicious - not cloying like in the supermarket (where they use sugar substitutes), real, cold. Who wants silence and the smell of Indian spices, without pathos and excessive high prices and markups - you are here. paid only $38 Immediately remembered the Goa area ...“

“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 ...“

“I ordered some samosas today because I had a final and wanted something quick but warm and comforting and the guy was very nice and it didn't take long and when I sat down and took a bite I was filled with so much love at that moment. it was so good. I don't get why more people don't go here it's amazing this place deserves the worldddd. I've eaten here before and it hits every single time I love this place“

“Amazing food. Great service. Incredible space. Each dish was presented thoughtfully and with care and respect for preparation and Ingredients. Brilliant place. I will return“

“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“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“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“
