26 Best Indian Restaurants in San Jose

“We had an amazing experience at Fitoor! The Paneer Lababdar was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced. For non-vegetarians, the Thecha Chicken was definitely the star — full of flavor and just the right amount of heat.

The Peri Peri Chicken had a nice kick and was super tender, while the Avocado & Paneer Galouti was one of the most unique and delicious appetizers we’ve had — melt-in-your-mouth good! The Paneer Fig Tikka was also a pleasant surprise with its subtle sweetness and smoky flavor.

We ended the meal with Shahi Tukda Tre Leches, which was the perfect fusion dessert — creamy, decadent, and beautifully presented.

Live belly dance performance and DJ was cherry on top.

Highly recommend this place for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike!“

“I will be ordering from this restaurant again. ***** :-)“

“I thank Suggi Oota to give the best experience of having food close to home food with a reasonable price. The owner is very accommodating in arranging catering when we need it. We had a catering from them for our family function and they did a fantastic job in delivering the food. Their food is very tasty and homely. I highly recommend suggi Oota for catering and the grab n go meals which are also very good!!“

“Ate the buffet here. Butter chicken was well balanced between sweet and spicy. Did not taste too tomato ish, and meat was lean and tender. Same goes for the goat curry - well flavored not overly spicy, and meat was cooked well and nice tender texture. Mixed veg - well it did what it was supposed to. Small restaurant with authentic taste and quality.“

“Hidden Gem for Indian Street Food in San Jose!
If you're craving authentic Indian flavors in San Jose, this small place inside SoFA Market is an absolute must-visit! I tried their Samosa Chaat, Veg Puff, Flavoured Golgappa, and of course, our classic Indian Masala Chai — and every single item was spot on and full of flavor. The taste, presentation, and freshness reminded me of home. It's a cozy little setup but delivers 5 out of 5 on taste and satisfaction. A perfect place to satisfy those desi street food cravings!“

“We visited Himalayan Magic Masala in San Jose for the first time with our family visiting from Canada, and we were all blown away! They said it was the best Nepali food they've had so far, and we completely agree. The butter chicken, momos, pani puri, tandoori chicken, and especially the butter naan and lacha paratha were absolutely delicious. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was welcoming. We’ll definitely be going back!“

“Came here on a weekday evening for some quick snacks after work. pretty casual spot, more of a cafeteria setup with curries laid out. Water and utensils were all self serve. I got the punugulu and cut mirchi bajji. Both were just okay. The punugulu came with coconut chutney. The bajji wasn’t spicy but tasted better with the sauce they gave. Food came out quick but didn’t feel super fresh. Prices were very reasonable though. parking was easy. I’d come back to try more since the menu was massive!“

“One of the most restaurant“

“We ordered bulk order togo for an event at home and the food was delicious. All the guests loved it. The Bengali cuisines are authentic and I would definitely recommend this restaurant! Also the owner was very kind and helpful which made the bulk ordering experience great!“

“Ah, nostalgia…my brother and I used to come here regularly growing up, and over the years, would return to this family-run gem. Their new location is beautiful. The space is immaculate in terms of cleanliness. The owners are super friendly. The cooks and other employees are attentive and hardworking. And the food is fresh, affordable, and delicious. Water is freshly filtered with hints of citrus. And the art is very appealing, culturally rich, beautiful, and beckoning. I’ll definitely come back when I’m back in town!“

“Service was great, prices very reasonable. Food, yum!😋. We will be back! Chili Chicken was so good!“

“I was pleasantly surprised to learn of An Indian Bengali Restaurant in The Bay Area offering Authentic Bengali Cuisine. I have to come here more to check out many of their menu offerings!“

“Had an excellent experience both in person and via catering. Quality and taste are a 11/10 for me. Received a lot of compliments from guests for the catered lunch and dinner. The catering menu has very interesting items that are not the usual kind we find around. The person who assisted with catering was patient and made the process really simple. Will recommend this place a 100%!“

“We recently ordered a small catering food was delicious and taste full. We definitely recommend the food here“

“I happened to visit the place randomly for another work related commitment and I took a chance to eat the Dosa.

Hands down, this is the best dosa ever in Bay area. I have eaten at a lot of Dosa spots but this one beats everything.
The Dosa was crispy, and almost melted inside the mouth.

Hands down! This is a must try place for all Bay Area Dosa Lovers!“
