22 Best Indian Restaurants in San Jose

“In the case of Fitoor, food was not the only expectation raised. Each course has been plated with a pixie’s touch resulting in many a dishes being considered Instagram worthy by many. The lamb biryani apart from its richness was aromatic, the chili garlic prawn’s were the highlight in that the spice was just right. For the last course we ordered the gulab jamun cheesecake which was quite ingenious in combining two flavors every one loves. The only problem though, is that it was a bit too much people and the waiting staff seemed to be a bit overstretched. Be that as it may, when one wants to have a culinary experience of Indian food that is going a notch higher than the usual, Fitoor is that place.“

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

“We ordered catering for a function from Suggi Oota last week, and she did a wonderful job without adding onions or garlic. We had a sufficient amount of food. I told her to make it a customized order with less spice and no onions or garlic, and it was perfect! I highly recommend her service, especially for events and functions. Everything was packed neatly, and it was still hot by the time we served it. :)“

“Best traditional Indian food in the Bay Area!

My wife is from Delhi and this is the 1st and only restaurant we’ve been to which she can compare to Delhi.

The quality of their food is unbelievable. The prices are slightly higher than other restaurants in the area but rightly so. Every single one of their dishes is amazing. Best tandoori chicken. Best chicken curry. Gulab jamun like my mom makes. They simply outdo any restaurant in this area. We used to frequent 8Elements (because we didn’t know any better) until we found this place.

If you eat at any other Indian restaurant within a 10 mile radius of this place I assume it’s because you haven’t been to Haveli.

Great service and atmosphere, beaten only by the incredibly high quality taste in all their dishes!“

“We always liked the food here especially the pulao and curries. So we went ahead and placed a catering order for an event at our home and the food was very delicious with hardly any leftovers. We ordered the poornalu as a desert and did not expect them to be so yummy. Everyone loved all the dishes which made us so happy!! Thank you Sri's kitchen.

Kid-friendliness: Veg pulao and shahi paneer were mild for the kids“

“The food is simply outstanding, specially Paneer tikka Sandwich, Dahi Balla Chaat and Golgappe. Every dish I tried there has a flavorful journey that reminded me of home-cooked meals. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious, authentic Indian that truly feels like home.

Vegetarian options: Your can find many veg options. Staff over there is very friendly and always happy to offer recommendations.“

“Went to New Indian Cuisine Sunday afternoon and were very happy with our choice by the end. I would highly recommend this place. the food is quality and you get ample portions. The server was very knowledgeable of the food, and helped other customers figure ideal dishes for their taste. We ordered Ordered 3 dishes. The Tandoori Mixed grill Dinner which included Lamb, chicken & prawns charcoal grilled with onions & bell peppers. The pieces of whole chicken (breast, leg, thigh) were tender, and marinated delicious. They had little cubes of chicken that where a bit dry. The Shrimp was yummy and cooked perfectly. It was a very shareable plate The Chicken Tikka Masala It is marinated boneless chicken in delicious creamy sauce red sauce. It was not just a great sauce, but the chicken was tender and plentiful (very shareable). The final dish we ordered was Panner Kurma. Grated homemade cheese in creamy sauce with mixed veggies and nuts. Was yummy. Also suggest you get the dinner option which includes Pilau rice, Naan bread, Dal and Raita. The Dal lentil soup not my thing, but the rice and Raita (Yogurt, Cucumber, Mint--counters spicy) are worth the upgrade. Also ask for an upgrade to garlic naan its is the bomb. we had plenty for left overs, but the food was excellent in preparation and presentation.“

“Sagar Sweet Store is a great place for Indian sweets and snacks. Their sweets are the best, and every bite is full of flavor. The samosas are crispy and packed with delicious spiced potatoes.

The chai is also amazing—rich and aromatic, it goes perfectly with their snacks.

Uncle, the owner, is a really nice man. He welcomes everyone and makes sure you have a good experience.

If you're in the area, definitely check out Sagar Sweet Store. You won't regret it! Call Uncle before arriving and inform him you'll be there, he will make sure your food is ready by the time you arrive.“

“Great price for amazing quality and big servings!“

“Mynt Restaurant offers a standout buffet experience with a limited yet delicious selection. Their butter chicken and paneer matar are particularly noteworthy, paired perfectly with roti. It's been a long time since we've enjoyed such satisfying buffet food. The friendly service further enhances the overall experience. Highly recommended for a great meal!“

“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!“

“We ordered paneer tikka sandwiches and chicken sandwiches and curry fries.Sandwiches were pretty good. Will definitely reorder. But fries were soggy and not tasty at all!I do recommend this restaurant but maybe skip fries!

Vegetarian options: They have decent selection of vegetarian options.“
