48 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.“

“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“

“This is my favorite Indian restaurant in town! The food is always fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious. Every dish is packed with authentic taste, and the service is outstanding.

A special thank you to Dennis, who always provides exceptional service. He is friendly, attentive, and makes every visit enjoyable. It’s rare to find such great food and such welcoming hospitality in one place. I always leave happy and look forward to coming back. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“Exceptional food: a creative and imaginative menu. Haven’t had such good Indian-fusion food in the longest time. Most importantly, the service (Chris was our server) was remarkable! I can’t wait to get all my friends and family here!!! What a gem of a find.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

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

“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 ���“

“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!
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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“It’s was aww❤️ delicious food 🍲“

“Aditi Indian Cuisine delivered an outstanding dining experience. The flavors were rich and authentic, the curries perfectly seasoned, and the naan fresh and delicious. Friendly service and a welcoming atmosphere made everything even better. From the butter chicken to the flavorful spices, every dish tasted carefully prepared and absolutely satisfying.“

“The lunch combo was delicious and very reasonably priced. The food was fresh and tasty. The tandoori roti was really good and the curries were nice as well. The combo also included chai and a dessert. A good place to get some food in the area.“

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

The service was friendly and the place felt clean and comfortable. Overall, a great experience—I’d definitely come back.”“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at Clay Oven. The food was absolutely delicious—the fish Tikka Masala was cooked to perfection and had such an authentic depth of flavor. Mango lassi was real punjabi! All with amazing Indian classical music!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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 ...“

“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.“

“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 --“

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

“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)“

“The best taste with less spicy!“

“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“

“🧆🧆🧆 **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! 🧆💥🧆💚🧆🔥🧆“

“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).“

“Great food must try uggani bajji kapada karam Dosa“

“Great bartenders, especially Joseph!“

“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“
