39 Best Indian Restaurants near Rancho Cordova

“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!“

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

“This is my favorite restaurant in the Rancho Cordova/Folsom area. I’ve tried most of the Persian and Afghan restaurants in the area and this is my favorite. The mantu dumplings amazing 🔥🔥🔥 The lamb chops are perfectly seasoned and cooked every time, the beef kabobs are tender and packed with flavor, and the chicken biryani is rich, aromatic, and balanced. The naan is fresh, warm, and some of the best I’ve had. The white/green/red sauces are incredible and ties everything together. On top of the food, the service is consistently top tier —
attentive, welcoming, and professional. Highly recommend.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“If you know good food, you know Taj Grill.
The Dal Makhani and Paneer Tikka are on another level. Get the Cheese Naan to go with the Saag Paneer—you won’t regret it. The Kabab was seasoned exactly how it should be.
Big shout-out to Samar. He served the food with class and made sure everything was right. It’s rare to find a place where the service matches the quality of the kitchen.
Top-tier experience. Respect.“

“the fresh, cooked to order food. tender chicken, full spice flavors...loved it , I give it 5, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐'s“

“High quality Indian buffet, full of flavor and with great variety. Naan is made to order, so it is fresh and delicious but you may want to call ahead as it can take 7-10 minutes to make.

I have been coming here 1-2 times a week since I discovered it and have yet to have a bad experience. The staff are attentive and polite and the owner often comes out to ask if we are enjoying the meal.

For $13, the lunch buffet is an incredible deal.

They have plenty of vegetarian options and a variety of beverages that are included with the buffet.“

“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.“

“Visited for dinner and was impressed with everything. The appetizers were tasty and the main dishes were cooked beautifully. The portion sizes were generous, and the prices were reasonable. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. Highly recommend the [malai kofta ] — it was the best part of the meal!“

“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.“

“Best Punjabi food, chicken tikka masala and garlic naan so tasty“

“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.“

“Hands down the best Indian food I’ve ever had that keeps me coming back. Been to many other Indian restaurants, even friends homes, but nothing compares to the flavors at Curry Club. You will surely fall in love at first bite. Presentation of dishes dining in and customer service is outstanding.“

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

“Very delicious food and fantastic Costomer service!! We came here to celebrate my sons birthday and we loved every bit of it.“

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

“Excellent authentic taste. Highly recommend“

“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.“

“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.“

“My friends saw some IG promos of this place and we decided to check it out.
Decent location off of Folsom Blvd/65th, tiny parking lot but plenty of street parking.
We dined as, as we often do when grabbing pizza for dinner. We arrived at 6pm and were the only ones there. Don't mind, whole place to ourselves. When we walked in, the two staff members were sitting in the dining area to see us arrive and promptly assisted us with our order. First order was a half chicken tikka and half Italian garlic combo. Second order was half tandoori chicken and also half Italian combo.
While we waited for our food, we checked out the decor and it's a nice spot with lots of seating and 3 large TVS.
Wall of tap beer for you to choose from and I really like the Bollywood movie quotes on the front wall. Saw one of my fav quotes up there too! One of the TVs was playing a movie and the other had on music videos. We heard neither. It was dead silent in there, which was a downer. Was hoping for some lively music.
Food was BUSSIN! The tandoori chicken pizza was a 10/10! Masala ranch is hella good. Chicken tikka, which is normally my fav at other Indian pizza spots was maybe a 6/10. I give the Italian garlic combo a solid 5.
We will definitely be back. But maybe next time we will come later at night. This place had a sign out front that they are open from 10AM - 6AM!! Wild. I can definitely see this place being popular with the late night college crowa.“

“This place is so good. The spicy 🌶 is just right and they have a lot of options. Their beers are great. The lamb is cooked perfectly and their priced right. I always enjoy eating their food.“

“🥟🥟🥟 Clay Oven Indian Cuisine – Orangevale 🥟🥟🥟

If you’re looking for the BEST Indian food in Orangevale, look no further than Clay Oven Indian Cuisine (8807 Greenback Ln, Orangevale, CA 95662)! This new gem is absolutely amazing, and the Punjabi owners are a delight to meet. Priya, the manager, goes above and beyond to make every guest feel welcome. 🌟

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! 🥟✨

Next up, the Aloo tikis – so good I finished two in one go! 🥟🔥 And let me just say, the Tamarind sauce deserves an Oscar award 🎬🏆 – tangy, rich, and the perfect complement to every bite.

To end on a sweet note, we tried the Mango Lassi 🥭🥤 – creamy, refreshing, and absolutely hit it out of the park. Each dish was so authentic it reminded me of the dhabas back in Punjab! 🇮🇳💛

I can’t wait to come back and try the rest of the menu. Please do yourself a favor and check out this amazing local restaurant. Best Indian food in Orangevale, hands down! 🥟🔥🥟🔥🥟“

“I arrived here wanted to buy Tea and Gajar Halwa I am very impressed with the young Man I ask him for his Name to mention in my reviews,

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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! ❤️“

“I had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! The food was absolutely delicious — full of rich, authentic flavors and perfectly spiced. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, from the naan to the curries. You can really tell they use high-quality ingredients and put care into every dish. The staff was friendly and welcoming too, which made the meal even better. Highly recommended if you're looking for a flavorful and satisfying Indian meal!“

“Quaint restaurant that somehow feels small, but is actually quite large. I was only passing through, and had some time to kill, so I looked for a good sit-down breakfast. The portions, food quality, and service were absolutely top notch, I saved this place in my Google maps in case I’m ever back in the area!!!“

“Wonderful family‑owned spot with delicious Indian food and sweets. What made my first visit even better was the warm, genuine welcome from the mother‑and‑daughter team. Such a lovely experience — I’ll definitely be back for more.

If you want it to sound more enthusiastic, more formal, or more casual, I can tweak it.“

“Best food! Mashallah...Fun to go with family... delicious karahi chicken... chana masala & chicken Biryani“

“This Nihari was gone in seconds, it was mouthwatering!! And so was the Malai boti- truly delectable!! An appealing choice of flavorful Pakistani/Indian cuisine, can't wait to be back soon!“

“The food is very good for the price you pay. My husband and I love the goat curry, chicken masala, nan garlic bread and beef kebab. The staff is very friendly and helpful, Leticia is such a sweet lady, always checking us what we need with a smile always. She’s very pleasant and nice. We will definitely coming back again. ❤️“
