Honestly, everything we ordered was absolutely delicious. Familiar Indian flavors with ample other options to try out. You can tell it’s the freshest of ingredients. Lamb curry dish - so tender and with a healthy kick of heat. The owners name literary translated means “happy” which is evident she pours that into her dishes. Don’t forget to try the blonde ale that is microbrewed right on site. Ice cold and full of depth. I will make this a staple stop whenever visiting...

I recently visited Castro Indian American restaurant and was thoroughly impressed with the entire experience! Starting with drinks, I tried the Castro Mule, Avani Modi, and ABCD cocktails. While all were equally good, my favorite by far was the Avani Modi—an absolute must-try! The bartender did a fantastic job balancing the flavors in each.
For appetizers, I went with their bestseller podi idli, which was simply perfect—light, flavorful, and beautifully...
