50 Best Indian Restaurants near San Bruno

“Finger licking food. As an Indian, I vouch for its authenticity. Dined with my parents who loved it as well. You can adjust spice level. We did level 4, which was perfect for us. Great flavors. They accommodated no garlic request where possible as well.

We ordered Veg thali with kadhai paneer, chicken tikka masala, punjabi naan, amritasri kulcha plate and rose falooda drink.

Will come back again!

Edit: Went back again. Same amazing flavors!! Truly reminds me of Delhi food.“

“Seriously underrated. The owner wanted me to eat the panipuri in the restraunt when it was takeout order saying it would get soggy. I was like nah I'm still going to have that that takeout and he literally poured a bunch of the tamarind water into a Togo coffee cup with lid. The service is second to none. Also the lamb biryani is so good. Cost wise its not overly expensive. Taste wise its rlly good“

They give you a ton of free food before your dishes come out and it's very affordable. Huge recommend for Bay Area residents:)“

“It’s my first time getting Indian food in San Francisco, and I was very satisfied with eating at Noe Indian Cuisine.

Our server Subi was very friendly, kind, and sweet. The food (samosa, chicken tikka masala, chicken biriyani, naan) was all delicious and freshly cooked. The two of us really enjoyed all of the food and had nothing left on our plates.

We will definitely come back soon in the future.“

“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“

“I had lunch here and did not know what to expect and they exceeded my expectations. The staff was so friendly and the food was amazing. You have to try the giant dosa. The lamb shank fell off of the bone and was so juicy, and their drinks were so refreshing“

“So delicious and affordable! Ordered the chicken Tikka Masala. The Chicken comes in huge pieces and is so tender and juicy and the sauce is just right. You can’t skip an order of the Samosas! The flavors are so vibrant and the textures are perfectly crispy and not oily at all! The sauces are also to die for! Trust me, you have to go here!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Oh my God, the chef’s cooking is like a song that brings me back to India. His food is absolutely amazing. Blend of Himalayan, Nepalese and Indian. I think the last time I had food this good I was in India at my aunt’s house. They have gluten-free and dairy free options for their naan and their curries. they have a deal on the menu for $66 a couple you eat literally so much food. It’s insane.“

“All is good Food and Service“

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

“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!“

“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!
Took away a star for a somewhat odd service. We were repeatedly asked to clarify our order -we had ordered samosa and chai (snack) but strangely were served samosa chaat. Tasted great though.
The Idlies were also great . Would have loved a bit more of the chutneys and the sambar.

Also would be good to have drinks in non-disposable cups for sit-down orders.Would suggest considering non-plastic stirrers.

Would highly recommend the restaurant overall.“

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

“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!“

“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“

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

“Aditi Indian Cuisine continues to impress with its authentic flavors and standout dishes that truly showcase the chef’s skill and attention to detail.

The tandoori fish is absolutely exceptional — perfectly marinated, tender on the inside with a lightly charred, smoky crust on the outside. The spices are balanced beautifully, not overpowering, letting the natural flavor of the fish shine through. It’s easily one of the best tandoori fish dishes I’ve had in San Francisco.

The dosa is another highlight — crisp, golden, and freshly made to order. It has the perfect texture: light, crunchy edges with a soft center that pairs wonderfully with the chutneys. You can really taste the freshness in every bite.

The sambar deserves special mention as well — rich, aromatic, and deeply flavorful. It has the perfect balance of tanginess, spice, and lentil richness, making it the ideal companion for the dosa. Every spoonful feels comforting and authentic, just like traditional South Indian home-style cooking.

Overall, Aditi Indian Cuisine delivers consistently excellent food, and these dishes especially reflect the chef’s mastery of both North and South Indian flavors. Highly recommended for anyone craving genuine, well-crafted Indian food“

“Probably my favorite pizza place.

I have been coming here since I was a kid, and I have never been disappointed.
One of the most unique things you can do with this pizza is order curry (or my favorite Chicken Masala) and use it as a dip or extra topping on their pizzas, you will not be disappointed.

Their Pizza is really good on its own too so if you want the classics don't be afraid to get them.“

“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.“

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

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“

“Great Indian place! The man in front was very nice, excellent service. I really like that food here is significantly less oily than other places. Chicken tikka masala did not have too much cream. Will try to return for the lunch buffet :)“

“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.“

“very delicious and scrumptious“

“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.“

“wow Big Brother Special is a must so 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“

“They use an AI call taker and there is no one at the store who can take a call. I left my glasses there and I called 5 times , each time I was forwarded to the store and then the call just dropped while I was waiting.

--- updated the score back because somebody replied here --“

“🧆🧆🧆 **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! 🧆💥🧆💚🧆🔥🧆“

“The Chicken Achar and Egg curry were authentic in their flavor. The Onion naan was soft and fluffy oozing freshness and flavor. We were amazed by the quality of food, given how often we get disappointed choosing an Indian restaurant based on reviews. Not a quiet place to enjoy your food but when the food is so good, everything else fades away.“

“All the food are good and the service as well ! I wanna give 4.5 star as the chicken is not cooked enough and kinda have the raw flavor but other meats are all well cooked just the chicken tho ! I do buy here a lot and I hope u guys fixed it tho! I do recommend buying here tho! Super affordable and super delicious“

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

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“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).“

“Tried the downtown SJ location a long time ago and remembered liking it. Ordered takeout by phone and order was ready in 20 mins. We got the Jhol momo $14, tandoori chicken momo $16, chicken curry $14, lamb tikka masala $16.50, and garlic naan $5. Food is all high quality and pretty good overall. Asked for no added salt or butter and they were able to accommodate. Tandoori chicken momo was my favorite followed by the Jhol momo and lamb tikka masala. Lamb tikka had really good flavor, but the lamb wasn't very tender, although not tough or dry either. Chicken curry wasn't anything special. Garlic naan was decent. Generous portions for the price, it's nice that the curries include rice. Small restaurant with some tables inside and a lot more outside on the patio deck. I recommend it, but like Himali just a bit better (sister restaurant in Burlingame)“

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“
