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.“

“Sunset Indian Restaurant, has taken over the former Naan N' Curry location, and the transformation is impressive. The interior has been thoughtfully updated with attractive décor, a carpeted dining room that softens the space, and the welcome addition of two bathrooms — a definite improvement for guests.

I especially appreciate that they now offer beer on tap, which pairs nicely with their menu. The wine selection is also solid, providing good options to complement the meal.

As for the food, the Lamb Biryani is easily a 5+ star dish. The rice is light, loose, and beautifully aromatic, with just the right level of spice. The addition of cashews adds a subtle richness and texture that really elevates the dish. I also thoroughly enjoyed the Palak Paneer, which was prepared with a creamy, well-balanced sauce and a generous amount of paneer.

An added treat was the plain naan — simple yet perfectly done — which complemented both dishes wonderfully and rounded out the meal.

Overall, Sunset Indian Restaurant is a strong addition to the neighborhood, offering flavorful dishes, thoughtful updates to the space, and a comfortable dining experience.“

“Excellent service from the workers and owner was so welcoming from the step I entered to the way out. I was delighted with the quality of food and it tasted very nice with the owner even complimenting me with kheer on the house as I was visitor in SF. Overall I would recommend this to all family and friends.“

“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“

“Wow! We visited this restaurant for the first time today and were pleasantly surprised by the incredible taste of their food. They had dairy free options which we really appreciated and absolutely every dish that we ordered was delicious. We'll be coming back to this place for sure!“

“I’ve been eating here for years and love this spot! Even when I was diagnosed with celiac’s I was able to keep eating here because they have so many gluten-free options.

Food is delicious, staff is incredibly nice, and the new location is so cute!“

“We visited during new year’s eve; the place was empty and service was quick.

The ambience is ambient, food options excellent and drinks also on point.

We ordered chilly momo, tandoori chicken, coconut chicken curry and Indian breads.

The best dish was hands down the chilly momo, super tasty!
Tandoori chicken was overcooked and rubbery.
Coconut chicken curry was tasty too!
The breads were excellent.

I also ordered an old fashioned, and it was powerfully! One drink and I was buzzed.

Our bill was around 120$ for 4 adults.“

“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“

“The food is quite good but having a blaring TV in the dining room is so wrong- it cheapens the experience, robs the atmosphere diners might enjoy on a night out. Quite unpleasant. The owners should rethink that and visit other restaurants in SF to see if they are blaring TV’s. San Franciscans do not enjoy having TV’s playing in restaurants. It’s a misunderstanding of the culture here.“

“Everything was great and fresh foods. Friendly service and. The spices and flavors were perfectly balanced. I especially love dal makhani, samosa and my boyfriend love their butter chicken, chicken korma and tandoori chicken. Highly recommended.“

“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!“

“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!“

“All is good Food and Service“

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

“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!“

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

“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.“

“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 ���“

“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 ❤️)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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!“

“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 ...“

“My sister and I came here yesterday to celebrate our birthday lunch and had such a lovely experience. Our server, a very kind older gentleman, was incredibly attentive and kept checking in on us. He was also so accommodating with my 12 month old baby.

The food was excellent! the butter chicken was very tasty and tender, the fish pakora was delicious and baby approved!, the rogan josh lamb was full of flavor, and the garlic naan was so fresh. At the end of our meal he even surprised us with complimentary gulab jamuns for our birthday, which was such a thoughtful touch.

Wonderful service and great food. We'll definitely be back!“

“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!“

“We love Pakwan. I mostly order to go and I am always happy with the quality of food and the consistency. I like their chicken tikka masala with garlic naan, and also the tandoori chicken leg.
I wasn’t the fan of seekh kebab, but overall a good experience.“

“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.“

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

“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“

“very delicious and scrumptious“

“🧆🧆🧆 **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! 🧆💥🧆💚🧆🔥🧆“

“This restaurant was absolutely delicious! The servers were attentive, and the bartender was very friendly. The staff seemed knowledgeable about the menu, one that was pretty unique with word play. I would definitely recommend coming with a friend or even by yourself if you want some really good food.“

“The staff was incredibly friendly and the overall atmosphere was really great. The food was absolutely amazing, we ended up ordering a lot of different things because everything looked so delicious, and we were absolutely right about it. Definitely a must-try 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!“

“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).“

“I usually crave bold and spicy flavors and the Kadapa Karam Dosa at Dosa Express totally hit the spot! 🔥
It’s perfectly spicy, super flavorful, and genuinely satisfying if you love that extra kick. The dosa was crispy and fresh, and the karam spice just takes it to another level. Honestly, one of the best spicy dosas I’ve had in the Bay Area. Highly recommend for spice lovers!“
