39 Best Indian Restaurants near San Leandro

“insanely good indian food. This has been my favorite restaurant since around 2021, and I have never stopped coming here. They have the best tikka masala i've ever had. I reccomend getting it with paneer because sometime the chicken can be a little bit dry. Their garlic naan is also super good.“

“Recently stopped by for a weekend lunch and it was delicious! Unfortunately, no pictures of the dish I ate (chicken curry, pacific iced tea) but my friend did snap a few photos of her food (tacos, samosa, and bhajia). The bhajia actually has an interesting story! My friend tried ordering it when we first arrived but we were told that they had run out due to a large order that morning. We ended up ordering our other items and sat at one of their outdoor tables to enjoy our food. Near the end of the meal, one of the owners comes by and offers us an order of bhajia on the house(!) because they ended up having enough for us. It was such a kind gesture and we ended up having a short chat with the owner. Really nice owners and great food - what more can you ask for?!“

“Great Indian takeout in San Leandro / Oakland boarder. Warning: butter chicken is addictive! Signs of withdrawal: watery mouth, lack of interest in other food and dream about an orange creamy stew over basmati rice.Tip: spicy option is HOOOT. Settle for medium“

“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.“

“This place had some very tasty food, one of the best. The Tandoori Paneer Quesadillas were crazy ? tasty, same as the Corn Masala Chaat. Dahl Makhani with the Garlic Naan was super. Only ate veg this first time, and it was excellent. Going to come back to try the non-veg menu. Highly recommend this place. ?

Vegetarian options: We only ate vegetarian this time around, and it was crazy tasty.“

“Very good food with good service. Definitely, recommend for a visit“

“I was headed to the post office on 13th street when I noticed this kabab restaurant. I thought, I'll stop in on my way back. What a treat, I had the curry lamb with rice. I must say that it has to the best curry sauce that I have ever had. The flavors were bold and rich and the lamb was cooked to perfection. I will most definitely be going back!“

“Thrilled to have a one-stop Indian store in Alameda! I'm so excited to have discovered a comprehensive Indian store in Alameda, conveniently stocked with all the essentials we need.

The store offers an impressive range of food options, including delicious home-style North Indian dishes that remind me of authentic flavors. This has been a lifesaver, especially during our kitchen renovation when cooking at home was a challenge.

Previously, we had to travel to Fremont for small items, but now we can find everything we need right here in our own town! Kudos to the store for catering to the local Indian community's needs and providing a welcoming shopping experience. I'm grateful for the convenience and variety they offer, and I look forward to continued patronage.
Only one little suggestion to keep some Indian veggies including curry leaves , green chilies etc“

“We had the chicken biriyani and litti chokha. Its really good. They are very close to the authentic taste. The chicken biriyani here is lucknow style which is a bit rare to find in the east bay. Irrespective of that detail, the biriyani is really amazing.
Portions and service, really good.

p.s: if you get a patio seat on a sunny day, you get a nice view of the bay and the Golden Gate bridge.“

“The best Indian food in the east bay!“

“Awesome to have a quick, clean, and tasty Indian restaurant in town. Pani puri, malai kofta, and garlic naan were all great. This is quick and easy North Indian fare. Service is exceptional and while busy, I didn’t have to wait for a table for 1. If you are looking for Indian food in Berkeley, this is a solid choice.“

“We had food catered & delivered from them. All the food was authentic, super tasty, well packaged and presented. Everyone loved it & mentioned multiple times. I recommend them wholeheartedly. 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. Paneer Sabji & Daal were also very yummy. Spices were mild. You can't go wrong by ordering from them.“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

“Best food in town. If you love Indian food then you should go and try their authentic Indian food. I am pretty much sure that you won’t be disappointed. I give them 5 out of 5.“

“I am vegetarian and I love to try different food places for vegetarian foods and I have no hesitation to tellThis place has no comparison with other North Indian restaurants because this place is best for North Indian food . Dal makhani c Muglayi kadahi paneer , Malai methi paneer are best ever“

“Just tried this place for the first time yesterday! We got the lamb curry, butter chicken, and some samosas. Everything was great :)“

“Hosted a traditional party in this venue recently and we were very impressed! The hall was very nice and clean! The backdrop was awesome! It was a one-stop shop. The owner was pleasant to work with and very professional. He made sure everything was covered. The staff were all great, as well! Would recommend this venue anytime! Thank you“

“This place has a lunch special that offers rice and naan, plus 2 kinds of entrees. I had the tikka masala and chicken vindaloo. The naan was nice and buttery and fluffy, no burnt or dryness to it, and both entrees were tasty. I had ordered ahead of time for pickup and it was ready right on time. I am giving the food 4 out of 5 stars because I would have liked both dishes to be spicy like I requested, especially the vindaloo (tikka masalas aren’t typically spicy so that’s ok!). I like my food to be pretty spicy though and they probably don’t want to overdo it for other folks. Overall good quality and portions for $17, the gentleman who helped me was quite nice and courteous, and I will be back :)“

“This place is great every time.

1) Food tasted fresh, properly seasoned, and tasty
2) CLEAN. You can tell that they work hard to upkeep. Bathroom was also spotless.
3) Very nice customer service. My mom asked for some specific afghan inspired yogurt drink. They didn’t offer it on the menu but they asked her for the ingredients and offered to make it from scratch.

Would highly recommend.“

“Delicious Curry House truly lives up to its name,
Their food is simply delicious, it's a culinary acclaim.
The ambiance is awesome, a perfect dining space,
Coupled with nice service, it's a place you won't replace.“

“Great for vegetarians, of course. Food is not bad, not the best you can get, but good and generous servings too. I actually think the food quality has improved some over the past few years. Service has always been quite friendly. The room has been upgraded a bit, but could use a little more spiffing up. These folks deserve your business. You won't be disappointed.“

“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“

“Great people and extremely satisfying food. It was just what we wanted and we will be back soon and undoubtedly regularly thereafter. Five stars for sure. Thanks!“

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

“I have eaten several times in this restaurant. It is elegant enough to have a meeting or friends reunion, and reasonably priced for students. You may treat yourself for a 'tandoori' delicious dish, or just go vegetarian. The owners are almost always there and give a nice atmosphere to the place. I just love this restaurant! Decoración elegante · Restaurantes económicos · Cosy atmosphere · Comida excelente · Opciones saludables · Raciones grandes“

“I used to go to their food truck ages ago and loved their food. When they stopped coming, I heard they had opened a restaurant back in 2018. Unfortunately I found out that this is now just a takeout only operation and you MUST pre-order by 12PM the day you want your food.

When we came to pick up, the owner came and talked to us and told us that the reason they had closed was because someone notorious for targeting mom and pop operations sued them for $40k over an inaccessible bathroom and because they either couldn’t fix the issue in their current space or couldn’t afford to move to another location, they had to pivot their business model. Because of the new model, they are just breaking even with bills, so please support them in any way they can!“

“Amazing service. We were super hungry after late ending of a show and all nearby places were crowded with long waits. So we found Mamta’s on Yelp and called them at a whim. They told us that they are closing in a couple of minutes, yet offered to get us to go. I requested if we could dine in to enjoy fresh hot food and surprisingly they said yes.

So we got there and asked for Dosa, Veg thali and some chaat. Then we asked if we could get chai and guess what! They said yes! I mean who does that (who = Indian restaurant).

Overall amazing service. With a smile (rarity in and of itself) and very welcoming. Food was fresh and delicious.

We plan to go there again next weekend?“

“Yummmm. They should have a higher rating!! Their food is really tasty. And it’s not greasy like some of the other Indian restaurants around. I got the butter chicken to go and it came with a leg and thigh. Was surprised to get two big pieces of chicken. I ate them so fast I ended up in food comatose. Oops.

The meal comes with rice and a little salad. It doesn’t cost as much as other restaurants and is far better tasting. Going to be back to try more of their food.“

“Their buffet is back after 3 long years! Everything was prepared well, each with their unique flavor. Good balance of meat and veggie options.
Given the increased cost of everything in 2024, the updated price of about 22usd isn't too bad.

Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetarian options“

“AMAZING momos. The pani puri is FANTASTIC. it’s packaged perfectly so you can take it home and eat it. No problem. The chili chicken momos r my favorite. And always get pani puri. 10/10. Favorite spot in Oakland.

Vegetarian options: Half of the menu is vegetarian. Lots of vegetarian options. And the chicken is halal“

“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...“

“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.“

“First of all, you guys need a SM page, like Instagram or what not. I’m ready to tag you on my IG page because our family’s favorite dish is the Aloo Gobi??????❤️ the flavors are CONSISTENT, and though costs is mentionable, it’s a La carte service that delivers excellent Indian food! Shaan we love you, and so sorry what happened to your store front. I hope this review helps! Everyone, EVERYTHING IS GOOD! But make SURE you try the Aloo Gobi! (I could eat that stuff by itself and by MYself). There’s a parking lot FREE behind Peet’s coffee.“

“Great food! Nice, friendly staff!“

“We are Vegetarian and had next level Chana-Kulcha, freshly made aloo paratha (not microwaved frozen paratha) and paneer paratha. I'll definitely come back here and hope I still get the same food.You might be better off for a take out. Sit down can be hit or a miss as this place is crowded.“

“Amazing food and service. Great quality and flavor, staff was very sweet!“

“THe delicious deconstructed samosa was everything!“

“good food and good service“

“Very polite staff and merchandise selection is huge. Very nice customer service and price is very low from other Indian stores.“
