“The Best Indian Food ever ‼️“

“Best Indian Restaurant in Hayward. Food is so delicious and taste amazing. We tried Briyani, Garlic Naan, Noodles, MoMo(Dumplings), butter chicken and everything was amazingly delicious.“

“It was my first time here, and I thoroughly enjoyed my meal. We ordered a variety of dishes, including dhai bata dev puri, tandoori chicken, butter chicken, kulchas (onion and paneer), chole masala, and kadai paneer. The service was excellent, and the food was simply amazing. The meat was tender and flavorful, while the chaat was a delightful burst of taste. The kulchas were soft and fluffy, and the butter chicken was perfectly balanced, not too sweet. Overall, we had a fantastic dining experience.“

“This place serves CHEESE STUFFED NAAN. It's just so legit. You can ask them to stack multiple as whole cheesy pillows or get the standard single-sliced-into-4 basket. Also everything on the menu I've tasted so far is deliciously layered and complex, satisfyingly spicy and salty, and just good solid comfort-food tasty. Only short is that it gets chilly during dinner with the doors open for when they bring out our tandoori (sizzling plates). Dinner here on the weekend brings out families and friend groups along with me and my trans partner.
My current go-to for Pakistani Indian noms 🇵🇰🇮🇳💯“

We ordered Chicken Curry, Dal Makhani, Paneer Veggie Sabji, Raita, Naan, Rice, Salad & Rose Kheer. Rose Kheer was so yummy. Chicken Curry tasted homemade Punjabi. It was delicious.

“Came here for an impromptu dinner with my boyfriend!

Good:
- Super nice staff and they checked in us a ton despite this place being fairly casual
- Loved the Himalayan burrito - the paratha wrap and the paneer inside was so delicious
- The noodle soup was pretty good too - sweet and savory
- Portion sizes were great - super full at the end of it

Bad:
- The wait time was a bit long for our two entrees
- A bit more casual and self-service

Overall this was a good find after a long day of walking around and was the perfect thing to get us energized for a long night.“

“I went to the post office next door and decided to go in to buy some curry to make chicken with curry, and I found a small restaurant there. I decided to have lunch there; the food was typically Indian, with Indian spices. For my palate, it was strong because it was spicy, and I have stomach problems with spicy food. For those who like well-made and clean homemade Indian food, I recommend the place; it's clean, the food is clean, and the preparation is clean.“

“Very fun atmosphere with indoor and outdoor seating options, staff are very friendly and attentive, and the food was incredible!!! We tried one of their speciality dishes and it was our favorite item that we shared! Very highly recommend!!!“

“Hole in the wall with delicious food! Today we had saag with potatoes (medium spicy was SO tasty) and vegetable korma with vegetable dumplings and sesame naan. Big fan of the sesame naan! Our usual order is bindi (okra) and lamb vindaloo, and veggie samosas - all of which we consistently love. My husband also got the cumin-spiced lemonade but thought it was a bit salty.“

“The signature Momo dumplings were outstanding, fresh flavor with a beautiful savory sauce. Lamb shank was melt off the bone deliciousness. awesome outdoor seating & excellent friendly service“

“I have come here a couple times to take out Kulchas and Parathas. The quality is extremely good and breads are tasty and hot and cooked through. The pricing is very good and the service has always been very friendly. I have yet to try any of the food yet but plan to do so because the menu looks super interesting. Probably“

“Food is always amazing. All the snacks are made fresh daily.“

“I had an amazing experience at this Indian restaurant! Every dish was full of authentic flavor and perfectly cooked , especially the curry and tandoori items, Aslam chicken is the star among . The spices were balanced beautifully, and the naan came out soft and fresh. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect from start to finish.

“Munch India operates with quiet rigor from a compact storefront just off Shattuck. There is no dining room, only a kitchen. The entire floor plan is devoted to the hotline and prep station. There is no freezer, only refrigeration. Ingredients are purchased daily, mostly from Berkeley Bowl a few blocks away. Orders are placed online each morning before noon; cooking begins after.

The daily walk-in menu is limited, changes daily, and is prepared to order. The results are consistently superb. Spicing is precise, textures are balanced, and the dishes—drawn from across India—reflect deep training and care. The chefs, Diana Afroza and Nick Ahmed, have cooked professionally since the early 1990s, with backgrounds in Boston, Europe, and India.

Prices are extremely reasonable given the quality and labor involved. They are searching for a larger, dine-in location. If they find one, their costs—and likely their prices—will rise. For now, this is high-level regional Indian cooking, offered at below-market prices. It smells wonderful inside and the people you’ll meet are awesome. Order while you can.“

“Deeeelish! My favorite thing here is the chicken tikka roll, the pratha is so good and it’s very saucy and the perfect amount of spice. I also got the garlic masala fries and samosa and a mango lassi, all very good. Also the folks who work at wrap and roll are the best, so friendly. Highly recommend!“

“Was in town for a few days and was craving some Indian food, when I saw this spot I got excited when I saw the name. Just as I hoped, the menu said they also offered Tibetan/ Nepali dishes. I have always wanted to try Momos, so I had to go. Yoyo Momoss is a small spot, the kind I grew up finding the best food at, so I couldn't resist. I am so happy I found them! I got delicious Momos, Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic Naan, Aloo Gobi and oh my, everything was so good. I felt like I was home, or someone's grandmother's house. The kind of food only a seasoned chef could produce. I had been to 4 restaurants before being lucky enough to find Yoyo Momoss, and I am so glad I did. I only review restaurants I really, really enjoy, this has been the best since my arrival in Oakland! Bodhi and the cook that was with him preparing the food couldn't have been nicer. That made the visit so much better. The world needs more businesses like this one, do yourself a favor and eat here, if you're a local you will probably become a regular customer. This spot makes me wish I could stay in Oakland for a long, long time. Thank you for the wonderful food, I will be sure to come back next time I come to town.“

“The Fish Pakora at Favorite Indian Restaurant in Hayward is always fresh, crispy, and bursting with flavor. A must-try appetizer that pairs perfectly with their chutneys“

“Very good tasty food in a relaxed, friendly atmosphere. The service was fast and the staff was great. We had chicken tiki masala, fish curry, spicy coffee and samosas. They have quite an elaborate menu. I can't wait to go back and sample more items.“

“Best Food by Chef Jay... Good place for Indian cuisine, If you are craving for Indian food this is the place to be... Best food reasonably priced...“

“Royal Kitchen is truly a hidden gem in the East Bay .. freshly cooked, authentic Indian food that instantly feels like home. The egg curry is a rare and absolute standout, and hands down some of the best Indian food I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent curry tikka masala tho I was looking for something more like coconut chicken I guess. Maybe he has that. They have all the spices down. The onion naan was served hot from the tandoor and is fluffy and joyous, saving some for later.“

“The Food Is Delicious, I recommend the chicken curry they can make as spicy as you like 👌🏽😎“

“I went with my family to tandoori paradise in Hayward. The quality of food is great. Service is also admirable. Would highly recommend this restaurant.“

“An excellent restaurant. As a South Indian, thayir sadam is a comfort dish you grow up eating, but rarely get outside the house. For a very affordable $10, I got a sizable portion of thayir sadam that took me back to my childhood days. I got thayir sadam (yogurt + rice) with paneer, pickle, cucumbers, carrots, and spiced peanuts, and it was INCREDIBLY refreshing and tasty. I spoke with the owner as well, and he is a very nice gentleman. Highly recommend this restaurant for those who love thayir sadam, and those who have yet to try this South Indian staple!“
