35 Best Indian Restaurants near San Carlos

“I love that there’s a place like this where you can enjoy such special and delicious food—especially when I’m hanging out with my friends (especially girls). Just eating at a restaurant with flower decorations and pretty artwork on the walls already puts me in a good mood. And on top of that, the food is amazing. If I had to pick one fusion Indian spot, I’d say this is the best one I’ve been to in the Bay Area.“

“I love momos , fried corn , noodles & fried rice ...“

“My husband and I love coming in for the lunch buffet. It's so delicious!“

“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“

“My experience with Broadway Masala has been outstanding and extraordinary. Customer service 5 out of 5. Food 10 out of 5. Yes 10. Amazing food. Love this place. Staff amazing. Chef amazing. Thank you for being so good. We have a place to dine for every special moment now. Five star hands down. 🤗“

“Cheerful welcome greeting, seated quickly and attended to throughout a very good meal.“

“Great ambience and vibe on a Saturday evening! We went for a birthday dinner and it lived upto our expectations. The food was different and really good. We ordered a vegetarian meal and you will want to try the taro root chaat, bellwether kebabs and plantain kebabs served with thecha. What topped for us was the flaxseed poee! A fermented bread with burani raita, eggplant choka and avocado dip! Main course we ordered cabbage curry which was average and more vegetarian main course can be added! A must go !“

Mind-blowing! 🤯 Whether it's for the ambiance, the flavors, or the amazing staff, Ettan's a must-visit. Left with a full belly and even fuller heart. ❤️ Can't wait to go back! #EttanMagic #FoodieDream #BestDinnerEver“

“All is good Food and Service“

“The staff are friendly, polite and professional. The food is good, delicious and tasty. Big portions.“

“Enjoy Nepalese food. Yummy on tummy“

“The people that work here are super friendly and hospitable. They knew me by name after the first visit and were extremely accommodating, even when ordering food like 15 min to closing. The food is also very good. We picked up food from here 3x in one week. ? The "mild" is definitely more like white people medium, but the flavor is very good. The stand out dishes we've had so far are the masala fries, butter chicken, and chicken biryani. It's also a good amount of food for the price in my opinion. Highly recommend this place!“

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

“The food was so delicious and the service was really great👍“

“A bit of a conundrum. The food here is really good-fully developed flavors, good selection, and actually one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to in Bay Area (I'm originally from the UK and in general find Indian food on the West Coast a bit disappointing v London). Service is very friendly too. We ordered things like the okra (delicious!), and the chicken/eggplant curry -with its wonderful smoky flavor. Great selection of dishes, really good breads/nans and even tasty cocktails! The tough thing is that this restaurant is tired and needs a makeover. The booth seats were worn and shabby, and in general the place felt sad. I'm not sure if investing in an existence makeover would make sense on this business strip or not -it's almost like this great food needs a different, prettier home. I wonder if there are any inexpensive ways to update the decor and furnishings? I will definitely eat here again but am more likely to get takeout than dine in given the way the place feels.“

“I have done catering from KASA for Diwali Party for 2 years and every time it was a hit with the guest. Food is delicious (we ordered variety of roti kati rolls and daal), delivery was on time and Anamika was very responsive to all my questions and requests. I will continue catering from KASA for the parties for sure.“

“I used to live in the area, and every time I stop by I have to come back to Dosa Point. It’s just good classic south Indian food (idli, vada, dosa, uttapam) along with other curry options. The vegan menu labeling is a little suspect i.e. things that *should* be vegan are not labeled as such, but in general it is accurate and you can always ask the staff. Compared to a lot of indian restaurants, they have a good understanding of veganism and default to oil rather than ghee. Seriously, just great food if you enjoy classic south indian stuff.“

“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.“

“I give 5 Star!!! Awesome find for me. Definitely a stop for me here in near future! Awesome and delicious food 🍱!!!“

“Food was better than expected, with quite excellent curry. Thankfully I had naan and bread to avoid licking the plate ;)

We ordered the food spicy, it came what I'd call medium heat. My wife thought it was perfect heat.

"Malabari" Prawns in sourdough 5/5
When it first arrived it reminded my of a clam chowder bowl. But it's even better! Had a smoky coconut taste I couldn't get enough of.

Tellicherry Pepper chicken 5/5
First time having it. Good portion of chicken. Reminded me of butter chicken. Definitely recommend.

Basmati rice - enough portion for 2
Plain naan - was crispy

Service was great. They filled my wife's water like 5 times. It was never empty.

Ambiance is nice. Mellow music. Nice lighting. We sat right next to the window“

“An absolute gem for anyone craving authentic and flavorful South Asian cuisine. The food is consistently delicious, and the atmosphere has a cozy, welcoming feel that makes you want to keep coming back.

Their Chapli Kabab is a standout—juicy, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. Paired with their soft, fluffy plain naan, it’s a combo that hits the spot every time. You can tell they put real care into their recipes.

The service is friendly and efficient, even during busy hours. It gets packed, especially around lunch, but the food is always worth the wait.

Highly recommended for a casual meal that doesn’t compromise on taste.“

“My wife has eaten here often after her shift ends. Its quality food that is hot and good!!!

The price is a bit too competitive for the food but given the area and quality of food it is worth it i think. This is the only place open until 11 PM and I think that alone deserves 5.0 star !!!

Thanks for the quality dining and watching the warriors game!!“

“Loved the food
The personnel were super friendly
The food was ready fast
The space is super beautiful and nice
We got chicken Tikka masala with rice and garlic naan

It was super delicious the portions aren't that big
The naan is fresh and hot very soft

We also got the burger with masala fries
It was good but similar to regular fries

We also got the mango yogurt drink which was super tasty

All the food is halal and not very spicy
The portions aren't that big though.“

“Epic food. 100% recommend! Ordered the vijayawada paneer biryani, chicken biryani, and the chicken 65. We love it hot so ordered “spicy” and they delivered! The masala in the biryani is soooo effing good and trust me I’m a huge food critic! More so, when it comes to Indian food. The rice grains were cooked only as much as they should be, and were super flavorful. Please give this a try and I can bet you won’t be disappointed. If you’re South Indian and craving biryani, you gotta get takeout from here. Note that you cannot dine in because it’s a cloud kitchen with minimal (or no) human interaction. I’m from New York and would love to have a branch opened there! Management please look into this!

Vegetarian options: Lots to choose from. Excellent biryanis.“

“Yummy food. Highly recommend“

“The food is great and always flavorful. I like to order the deconstructed samosas, Fried ravioli, and chicken tacos. Their mango lassi is very good too. My only complaint that I have now is that The chicken taco recipe has changed. It used to be really juicy and flavorful with grilled chicken, bell peppers, and pico de gallo. Now it has changed up to this horrible Recipe with chipotle sauce on it. Not nearly as good. I don’t know why they changed it. They should change it back.“

“The food is so good - I love the bowls and Ginger iced coffee! Thank you for the nice service too!“

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

“love the Food. perfect seasoning. love the environment and Food is great“

“A momo-centric review. We tried three of their chicken momos - Steamed, Jhol, and Chilli. The momos are delicious and generously filled for the stuffing. Tad bit expensive when compared to Everest Momo.

Outdoor seating is awesome for your four legged friend. Will come back 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!“

“pizzas muy ricas y saludables buen servicio“

“Great food, if you’re from Singapore and Malaysia and missing food from home, great place to eat at. Recommend the Hokkien Mee, Chicken Rice and oyster Omlette. Crazy good! 👍🏽“
