37 Best Indian Restaurants near San Leandro

“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.“

“I’ve been on the hunt for the perfect butter chicken/chicken tikka masala and I’m happy I found this place. I ordered both extra spicy, both really good. The containers weren’t marked so I’m unsure I don’t know which one is which. I prefer the one with cubed chicken, if you happen to read this would you please tell me which one it is?“

“This is the best South Asian cuisine I have had outside of my home. The food actually tastes authentic and not watered down for people who do not like spicy food. The goat biryani, chicken biryani, and goat karahi were excellent. If you are in the Oakland area, you have to try this place out!“

“great food & atmosphere! 5 stars!!“

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

“I did catering from them for our baby shower and ordered paneer tikka , hakka noodles and samosas and gobi manchurian. The owners went above and beyond in many places to help me with the whole experience. The total price was much reaaonable compared to many other standard per plate catering . The best part - the food was fantastic and got appreciation from so many guests. Have been ordering and dining in many times from there on and can clearly say the food has one of the best north indian spot for me.“

“Dallas has some amazing food, and I've tried a lot of dishes, but I have to give a special shoutout to the naan! It was truly one of the best I've ever had in the USA. The quality was so good, I ended up eating several pieces just because of the incredible taste and texture. I highly recommend everyone try the naan!“

“Absolutely delicious cuisines, lovely ambience, excellent customer service and friendly staff. 100% recommend!! ❤️“

“Wonderful food on a comfortable patio with very friendly staff. Thumbs up 👍🏾“

“100% recommend!! Pippal is one of our absolute favorite restaurants in the Bay! We've been regulars at Pippal since they opened, and it's one of those places we look forward to coming back to as often as possible.

Today we got to try their Mediterranean collaboration (available for the month of June), sharing the family-style meal alongside the Journey Through the Mediterranean platter. It was such a fun way to experience a different side of the kitchen. It was fresh, flavorful, and perfect for sharing. I hope they consider running this collaboration again in the future!

But if it's your first visit, we have to mention the dishes that made us fall in love with Pippal in the first place. Our standing order is usually the chicken momo, gangura chicken, vada pao sliders, butter chicken, and plenty of chili garlic naan to soak up every last bit of sauce.

What has kept us coming back all these years is the quality and consistency. Every visit, the food is thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and always delicious! The cocktails are also consistently creative and yummy!

The service is always wonderful! Truly, that's a big part of why we keep coming back. The staff always make us feel welcome! And it's been a pleasure to get to know them too.

The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and the whole experience is special enough for a celebration and comfortable enough for a more casual Friday night dinner. We love it! The location is great, and we often come here before or after going to the movies at the AMC or shopping at Tokyo Central, both of which are just a few steps away.“

“Simple the best Indian / Nepalese food I have ever had period. +20 yrs in the Bay and we are blessed with so many great options - but this place takes the cake. Service was also stellar. It is now my go-to for Indian food. Garlic Naan, Saag Paneer and Tandoori Chicken fantastic.“

“Arvin and Puja prepare authentic Nepalese Food that is delicious. My favorites are the Palak Panner, Mixed Vegetable, and Paneer Tikamasala as I am vegetarian. The Nan and Roti are to die for. I love the down to earth homie atmosphere and friendly service. It you want good quality wholesome food in a relaxed and friendly setting, this is your place. I highly recommend Mount Everest to anyone.“

“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.“

“I had a really huge family gathering here 6/26/26 and it was a great experience. The owner was very accommodating and the chef
made very very authentic afghan food. They managed to fit an insane amount of people and the space was nice, clean, and spacious. Will host all future events here!“

“It was the only Indian restaurant with an all day buffet or AYCE and on a Sunday that at least I could find in the Bay Area and for a reasonable price: under $25 including garlic naan (& tax.) I expected extra dishes but the dishes that were there were very tasty and filling. The hostess/server was very friendly. I was in love with the decor and the atmosphere was great with light music and a cosy feeling. Overall it’s a place I see myself going again.“

“This restaurant made sure I don't miss Indian food in the US. Surely gonna visit again if I am in Oakland“

“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.“

“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“

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

“Everything I had here was outstanding. Their breads are a standout. Fresh and chewy and filled with garbanzo beans / flour (Chana Masala Paratha). Samosas had great texture and flavor and the chutneys were excellent. Saag Aloo was fresh and the potatoes were cooked perfectly. Menu is vegan friendly but not labeled very well (online menu is a little more clear on some things but not on everything). Mixed Vegetable dish, Saag Aloo and maybe another entree or two are vegan but you'll definitely want to ask. Many of the breads are vegan (and definitely worth ordering). Yummy“

“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.“

“I had a wonderful dining experience at this Indian restaurant. The restaurant was exceptionally clean, creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere from the moment I walked in. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and full of authentic taste. The spices were perfectly balanced, and everything was cooked to perfection. The combination of excellent cleanliness, great service, and incredibly tasty food makes this a place I would happily visit again and recommend to others.“

“Marigold has become my go to Indian spot in Temescal! The owner is an incredibly kind and welcoming woman who always takes good care of her customers. I have been obsessed with the Madras Chicken in particular. They also have a great lunch special with rice, naan, and choice of two entrees for an unbeatable price.“

“Lovely, fresh, cheerful, simple, spotlessly clean, inexpensive South Indian spot on Telegraph. I tried the Idli Vada Combo with sambar and coconut chutney, and a cup of chai. The sambar was nice and everything was so fresh! The vada was extra light and crunchy. I'll be back for the thayirsadam when I'm a bit hungrier! Check it out!“

“The four of us ordered three appetizers and three main dishes and they were all very delicious. They brought the appetizers first and that was good because we were getting pretty hungry. They also gave us a crispy bread with some green and red sauce on the house. We sat in a cozy booth in the corner. We will definitely check out this place again!“

“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“

“Great food and great drinks! Friendly staff. You have to come by and check it out.“

“Our kids really wanna try food here as they have seen the menu and pictures. Finally we manage to go on her birthday to celebrate with family and friends . We had Mango lassi, pani puri , samosa, chicken Momo, Briyani, paneer lababda, muglai chicken, butter naan, butter chicken,jeera rice ,Chicken Briyani, tres lache cake and lal Mohan with ice cream . Of course gentlemen had wine 🍷 too.All the food were yummy , desent portion . I was expecting 8 pieces of Momo but it was only 5. Shout out to Briyani . It was yummy . Do visit this place . I bet you won’t regret.“

“Really great food with a somewhat open kitchen and three small television screens playing news and sports. They have many pods from chicken biryani to paneer wraps with fries, a personal favorite of mine is the fried veg momo, another one being the paneer tikka masala with rice. The place may be small, but without doubt, I would eat this all three meals of the day and for a snack. Thank you.“

“I have been enjoying Mehak for over a year now. Since moving to the east bay I hadn't found an Indian restaurant in my area that makes butter chicken/chicken Mehkani the way I learned to love it until Mehak. This is my favorite dish and theirs is fantastic. We also enjoy the saag paneer and chana masala. The naan is delicious and such a good value that the curry comes with the rice.

Also have tried the mango lassi and kheer and enjoyed both! Best kheer I'd had in ages.

Will continue to come back.

Found through tgtg and go about once a month.“

“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...“

“THE BEST! delicious, sophisticated Indian food with burst of flavors in every bite. This is my one and only go to spot in the east bay. The owners are kind and genuine people who knows how to cook with high quality foods! They are super conscious of the ingredients used making it a truly authentic experience everything i order. My taste buds thank you munch india!“

“I stumbled across this place after officiating a wedding nearby, and I'm so happy about it! I'm currently sitting in my car afterwards with a full and contented tummy.

I decided to have Thalia as I didn't know what it was. To my delight, it was several small bowls with scrumptious dishes.

The lamb in coconut was so tender. The creamed spinach was incredible and the veggies with perfectly flavored, allowing their natural flavor to shine. The channa massala was nice and spicy, maybe medium level. It kicked but was still full flavored. The yogurt side was so good that I ate it alone, lol. The rice pudding was delicate, a perfect balance to the full flavors of the other dishes. And the na'an was to die for!

Nita, my server, was such a sweetheart! I can see why this place has been around for 18 years with such excellent service and food!!“

“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.“

“I had the Chicken Tikka Masala, and it was absolutely delicious — a flavor that words can’t fully describe. The naan was excellent, and the Mango Lassi paired perfectly with my lunch. The portions were generous. I planned to take photos, but the food looked and smelled so good that I forgot. Overall, I highly recommend Konarq.“
