50 Best Indian Restaurants near San Bruno

“This place serves really good Indian food! Recently, I came to know that they offer two types of thali. One comes with dal makhani, curry, raita, and salad, while the other is their lunch plate, which is available on weekdays during lunch.

The only feedback I have is that they could reduce the quantity of rice a little and include half a roti with the lunch plate and thali. That way, we wouldn’t have to choose between adding rice or naan—we could enjoy both.

Overall, the food is really good, and I would definitely recommend trying it!“

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

“Stopped by for a quick lunch on Sunday afternoon and ordered the lamb tikka masala (medium spice) along with two butter naans. The lamb tikka masala came out with a generous portion of tender, well-seasoned meat and a delicious sauce. I was pleasantly surprised by the enormous size of the naan, which was easily 1.5 times larger than any I’ve had in the Bay Area.

Dipping the naan into the sauce was incredible. The restaurant and restrooms are exceptionally clean, and the service was attentive—my water was refilled without me asking, and they even brought out a hot cup of chai at the end. I will definitely be back.“

“I was driving by Sunset Indian Cuisine, and stopped by to check the restaurant out. To say everything exceeded my expectations is understatement, Food was delicious and generous portion, and ate all of it ( usually I would not eat full but it was impossible to stop eating). Inside is very cozy and warm, and this will be my place from now on to eat. 12 out of 10 would recommend this gem“

“I’m punjabi and this is authentic punjabi food - we got rogan josh - yumm
the surprise was the hyderabadi vegetable mix w apricots - delicious

the naan was my fav coz i’m so picky about naans. It’s light but not too light. Naan should have some weight to it and the flakiness comes from the top crust.

Gavin was our server and delightful and attentive. Can’t wait to to back“

“So so good! Had aloo gobo, tadka dal and malai kofta. The first two we got mild and my only grievance is that the aloo gobi still had some zing to it for my wife. So if you need dishes really mild, maybe this isn’t the place. I got the kofta as spicy and that was delicious for me. A ton of flavor.“

“Everything from the greeting to the goodbye was excellent. We ordered the Chutney Prawns, the Cauliflower, the Genovese Basil Dosa & the Halibut (all very flavorful, succulent, delicious.) Generous portions & very good service as well. Highly recommend!“

“I absolutely love this restaurant! The food is incredibly delicious, and every dish is full of flavor. Everything we ordered was fresh and well prepared.

The service was excellent as well. All of the staff were friendly, welcoming, and attentive, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable.

The restaurant is also very clean and comfortable. The atmosphere is relaxing and pleasant, making it a great place to enjoy a meal.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and tasty Indian food. I will definitely be coming back again!

Thank you for the wonderful food and outstanding service! ❤“

“Very inviting and friendly place. Food is done well and at a good price point. Service a tad slow but it was a quiet Sunday afternoon. Check it out.“

“Some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had! The vindaloo, tikka masala, and butter chicken are spiced to perfection and the sauces are a beautiful consistency. The space is always clean and quiet, with a big window. Service is quick and attentive.“

“Delicious Food and Great Service! Had the Samosas and the Momos to eat and paired with the ABCD and Rose Water cocktails and the flavors really complimented themselves. Didn’t take any photos cause I devoured everything too quickly. Go in and try it for yourself“

“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!“

“solid indian food on market st! Their butter chicken was sweet and creamy, and love that they have saag tofu as a menu option! We found their roti and paratha was slightly dry and didn’t love their veggie momo filling, but overall good food!“

“The butter paneer is excellent! I also really enjoyed the mango chicken tikka. The interior is really nice, recommend checking it out for a meal in.

Request to the restaurant - possible to mark on for each dish on the menu which ones have gluten and which ones are gluten free?“

“A cozy authentic and homey environment with wonderfully fresh food. The best tofu ever!“

“Been eating here basically since it opened. Used to be another Indian place that I frequented but when Tilak took over, the food took a leap up.

It's still one of the best Indian restaurants in the city. Easily. Everything is so good and flavorful... from basics like dahl and butter chicken to more unusual dishes like masala lamb racks and goan prawns. If something on the menu looks a bit unusual, that you don't recognize from other Indian places, I recommend going for it.

Tilak himself and the rest of the staff are friendly and awesome, but the food... Just great stuff all the way down the menu.

So, yeah, easily my favorite Indian place in SF and the place we've been doing our company holiday dinner for the last five or six years.“

“A handful of dishes are excellent, but I really dislike all (except tikka masala) their chicken curries because they cook it in-bone chicken thighs.. also the rice has too much anise seeds it takes over all flavors.
The prices are fair though and the portions are good, customer service is good as well hence the 4 stars.“

“honestly this place is such a find. i got the butter chicken and garlic naan and it was so good im still thinking about it a day later.

the flavors were super authentic and the service was really friendly. definitely coming back to try more stuff on the menu.“

“Su personal y su comida está deliciosa y accesible sus precios están bastante cómodos está muy rica su comida“

“Absolutely delicious mutton preparation by this establishment. We had a delightful meal of chicken momos, nimki chaat and Mutton thakali thali. The place was filled with authentic south east Asian cuisine and aromas. If you're looking for Nepali, Indian cuisine do visit this place.“

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

“We ordered Lamb biryani. It was very good, but the mild option was still pretty spicy. Mango lassie really helped temper the heat. Wait staff was very friendly. We sat at the table on the sidewalk during the street festival and enjoyed the atmosphere.“

“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!“

“Very tasty food and good service !!!“

“I had my all time favorite mysur masala dosa and mutton pepper fry. Been visiting here since year always good. The guy in the front is best warm welcome good service. Definitely recommend and see you soon again. Until good luck 🍀👍“

“I had a fantastic dinner at Curry and Kabab in San Mateo tonight! The **Soya Chaap** was incredibly flavorful and well-textured, and the **Aloo Gobi** was cooked to perfection with just the right balance of spices. Pairing them with their fresh, warm **Naan** made for a truly satisfying meal.

If you're looking for authentic flavors and great service in San Mateo, this spot is a must-visit. Five stars all the way!

Really liked their wall paintings though“

“Tabla in Atlanta serves amazing Indian flavor in a chic, modern setting. Don't miss their Handi Gosht and Kurkuri Bhindi perfect for both meat lovers and vegetarians!“

“Pakwan was really good! Everything we ordered was delicious, fresh, and incredibly flavorful, and the food came out quickly and on time. The ambience is fantastic as well—it is a beautiful, inviting space and makes for a really enjoyable dining experience.

The only thing to keep in mind is that it is more of a self-service setup when it comes to the extras. You grab your own silverware, plates, napkins, drinks, and to-go boxes. It was not a major issue for us, but it is helpful to know what to expect going in.

Overall, we really enjoyed the food and atmosphere and would definitely come back!“

“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“

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

“🧆🧆🧆 **5 Stars All The Way!** 🌟

Just tried the falafel plate at **Halal Shop San Francisco** and OMG — it’s next-level delicious! 😍 The falafels were perfectly crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, and that creamy white sauce with the spicy red drizzle took it to another dimension 🔥🔥🔥! The rice was fluffy, the salad was super fresh, and the whole plate looked like a piece of art 😋💚

The vibes were great, service was fast, and everything tasted 100% fresh and halal 🕌✨

📍 **Halal Shop**
Alcove C, Cesar Chavez Student Center
**1650 Holloway Ave, San Francisco, CA 94132**

Can’t wait to come back for more! 🧆💥🧆💚🧆🔥🧆“

“Everything is delicious here! Great, friendly staff!“

“Wanted to like this place more. Dosa Box is one of the ghost kitchens in San Mateo Food Mall. Ordered from the website for pick up. You get a text when it's ready, go inside and check in with the worker who is at the desk. They open the locker for you where the food is placed.

Our dosas were completely soggy. Would have been very good if it was still crispy. Although it makes sense that dosa would not be a good take out item. They could've poked holes in the box or put the masala potatoes separate instead of inside the dosa to maintain crispiness.

Also just a note if anyone was wondering, the masala dosa comes with sambar (since the menu is not clear about that).“

“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.“

“The portions are generous, and the staff are friendly, helpful, and attentive. However, the cuisine is not really my personal favorite, so the food didn't quite suit my taste.

Overall, it's a decent place if you're looking for generous portions and good service.“

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

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“
