50 Best Indian Restaurants near San Bruno

“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!“

“Great Sunset neighborhood Indian/Pakistani restaurant. Friendly service. Accommodates my spice shy palate. Recently introduced thali lunch boxes perfect for single diners. Reasonable prices.“

“My family and I had an amazing experience at Sunset Indian Cuisine last night. We love trying new places and this was the one which didn't disappointed us. The ambiance was cozy for a relaxed dinner.
The food we had was so delicious. We started with the noodles, which was amazing with less oil. The Juicy Chicken Momo with chutney on the side was incredible. We also ordered Garlic naan, which was soft and warm, Tandoori chicken, Chicken curry, everything was perfect. The service was perfect with friendly and attentive waiter who was knowledgeable about the menu.
We'll definitely be back to try more of their Indian and Nepalese dishes, and we highly recommend this place to others !“

“I had a great experience. The server was probably busy and the one who accommodated me was actually doing dishes. Later, both of them helped me pick a palate. Jhol momo’s jhol was a bit thick for my taste but it did taste wonderful. Very good atmosphere, very good service and tasty food.“

“One of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had!
Staff were beyond warm and welcoming; they shared their culture with us alongside their cuisine.
The butter chicken, mango lassi, gol gappa, chai, and everything else was perfect and in great portion sizes.
10/10, will eat again“

“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.“

“We were initially worried that the menu was so huge they couldn't do everything great and – but they did! The four of us ordered something from every part of the menu and everything was delicious and well prepared. We especially appreciated the advice on spiciness – all of us, but one love spicy food, but we were warned that their level of spice is higher than most people‘s comfort level. So we ordered medium, and that was just perfect. We tried the Momo, the tikka masala, roti, samosas, and the delicious chicken sandwich believe it or not. Everything was wonderful. The server seemed new and a little clueless, but very friendly and helpful.“

“Tara Indian Cuisine is the best I have tried!! The people are super friendly and fun, the food is amazing ( my personal favorite on the menu is the kheer) not crowded and portions are amazing. Amazing experience both eating in person and ordering to go. I highly recommend 🤩.“

“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!“

“Rose Indian is super delicious. Everything was really tasty and well done. Papadam and chutneys came with the meal and I ordered Mixed Pickles, Coconut Vegetable Curry and Roti. The Curry was complex and very flavorful and paired wonderfully with the Roti, which was also fantastic. Loved the Mixed Pickle and Chutneys and the Papadam was light and crispy without being too oily. Really impressed by everything here. Menu is very clearly labeled with vegan entrees and there are a lot of them. Great service as well. Definitely going back soon.“

“I recently visited this Indian restaurant and was blown away by the variety on the menu! From rich curries to sizzling tandoori platters, there’s something for every palate. But what truly stole the show for me were the momos and chowmein absolute perfection!
The momos were juicy, flavorful, and served with a spicy dipping sauce that packed just the right punch. The chowmein was delightfully savory, with a perfect balance of spices and fresh veggies a comforting, street-style classic done right.
Whether you're craving traditional Indian dishes or something with a Nepali flair, this place delivers on all fronts. Highly recommend for anyone looking to explore bold, authentic flavors in a cozy setting!“

“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.“

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

“The food here is absolutely delicious! It’s a bit on the pricey side, but totally worth it for the amazing flavors and the amount of food. The saag paneer and cheese naan are my absolute favorites — I can’t get enough! I’ve been three times now, and it never disappoints. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“

“Three food, really liked the lamb curry and chicken tea masala and the friendly staff“

“Golden Gate Indian Cuisine and Pizza has been my rock for the last 5 years. I swear their food has cured hangovers, the flu, heartache, and bad days. I have only ordered take out, but feel very welcomed by the owners and staff every time I pick up. So much so, that my fiancé and I are catering our welcome event through them. Here’s our go-to order: 1. Veggie Pakora 2.Bindi Masala (my personal favorite) 3. Lamb Biryani (Fiancé’s favorite) 4. Vegetarian Tiki Masala 5. Naan/ Garlic Naan/ Onion Kulcha.“

“Great and delicious food awsome service and great quantinty and quality with desi taste its a place to had a food blast....... ...“

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

“Outstanding Indian food in a casual and cozy location. The food here is probably the best Indian food I've had anywhere. We had the Butter Chicken and Lamb Vindaloo with garlic naan. Both dishes were authentic tasting and superbly prepared. Neither dish was overpowering in spices or heat. You could tell fresh spices, seasonings and ingredients were used. Servings were ample too.“

“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.“

“Very nice decor Pleasantly surprised The food was flavorful And they gave good portions We will eat there again“

“Sungandh Indian Restaurant, tucked away in San Francisco, offers a nostalgic dining experience with a menu that truly delivers on flavor. I recently visited and, while the food was a definite highlight, the overall experience left me with mixed feelings about the restaurant's potential.
Let's start with the stars of the show: the food. The Butter Chicken Masala was nothing short of amazing. The chicken was tender, and the sauce was a creamy, rich, and perfectly spiced dream. It's a dish that lives up to its reputation and is a must-try for any butter chicken enthusiast. Similarly, the Paneer Kadhai was outstanding. The paneer was soft and fresh, and the vibrant, aromatic sauce was packed with the right amount of heat and spices. Both dishes were clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients, showcasing a kitchen that knows its craft.
Unfortunately, the culinary journey hit a slight snag with the Mango Lassi. It was, to be honest, a bit average. It lacked the rich, thick consistency and vibrant mango flavor I typically expect from a good lassi. It was drinkable, but it didn't quite complement the stellar main courses as I had hoped.
The service was decent, though a little lackluster. Our server was kind and attentive enough to our basic needs, but the service felt more transactional than genuinely welcoming. There wasn't a strong sense of hospitality, which is often a key ingredient in a great dining experience.
The most significant area for improvement, however, is the restaurant itself. Sungandh has a very old-school feel, and not in a charming, vintage way. The decor is dated, and the restaurant is in serious need of a refresh. More critically, the lack of a proper HVAC system was noticeable, making the interior feel stuffy and uncomfortable. A much-needed renovation could transform this place from a hidden gem with great food into a truly top-tier dining destination.
In summary, Sungandh Indian Restaurant is a place you go for the food, particularly the exceptional butter chicken and paneer kadhai. The kitchen staff are clearly masters of their craft. However, be prepared for an experience that feels a bit rough around the edges. If they can invest in a much-needed facelift and elevate their service to match the quality of their cuisine, Sungandh has the potential to be one of the best Indian restaurants in San Francisco. Until then, it's a great spot for takeout or a casual, no-frills meal where the flavors are the main event.“

“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 ...“

“Having spent time in many villages in the Gorkha district and having close Gurung friends, I can say with confidence that Gurung Kitchen is absolutely perfect. The food is incredible — traditional, authentic, and beautifully prepared. Every dish feels like it was made with care and love, just like in Nepal.

The atmosphere is peaceful and welcoming, with lovely flower and butterfly decorations that make the space feel warm and special. You’ll notice that many of the guests are Nepali, which tells you how true to home the flavors are.

The service is gentle, kind, and attentive — you really feel taken care of here. This is a restaurant that serves not just food, but genuine hospitality and culture.

Definitely a must-visit in San Francisco. I’ll be coming back every time I’m in the city!“

“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!“

“I have eaten at this restaurant for years since 1995. I worked close by so I would go for their lunch buffet at least twice a week. I love Indian food. I have tried many Indian restaurants over the years and this is my favorite, top notch! I have tried most items in their menu a la carte as well when I’ve been there for dinner. Yesterday I visited again since I moved out of the Bay Area and their bengan bharta continues to be my very favorite of all restaurants I’ve tried over the years. The ambiance is great, the music fabulous and the owners are very friendly and helpful. They had another location in Livermore which sadly was closed. It was equally good!“

“wow Big Brother Special is a must so delicious ...“

“This restaurant food is much more better than other Pakistani Indian restaurants all around the US. Chicken biryani & seekh kabob was so delicious authentic Pakistani flavor specially the Tea which is so so so good like Pakistani famous Pathan’s tea and we never had an experience before this in US. The best thing is they make in front of us so the quality of the food is so fresh and yummy like your own kitchen.“

“Came here with a big group and we all get good food, super fast, and had a great spot to sit! The night was super warm so we sat outside and it was perfect. The menu has something for everyone. The biryani plates are huge! Definitely enough to take some home.“

“It looks like a small place from the outside, but the inside is big and the food is delicious. Very strongly suggested.“

“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“

“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!“

“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“

“very delicious and scrumptious“

“Urban Momo San Mateo is a true delight for anyone craving Nepali and Indian flavors. Every dish we tried; from momo and choila to chicken chilly, naan curry, and biryani was packed with authentic taste. The staff are warm and welcoming, making every visit a pleasure. If you’re in the area, this place is an absolute must-try!“

“Good quick bites and friendly staff, I’ve come here often enough to be considered a regular and I’m always greeted by the wonderful people who work here! The deconstructed samosa is wonderful, and there are plenty of vegan and vegetarian options for us non meat-eaters.

I definitely recommend this place for lunch or dinner, but get ready to ask for a to-go box because the portions are very generous!

There is plenty of seating for all group sizes, and there is even a connected bar area through the back if you’re looking for a craft cocktail.“

“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“

“Yummy food. Highly recommend“
