50 Best Indian Restaurants near Saratoga

“Excellent food and service.“

“We order from here at least every 1-2 months, food for everyone's tastes, fast service.“

“This food truck is a hidden gem! The Volcano Biryani is a fiery masterpiece, with layers of flavors and a spicy kick. The fried rice and omelet base provide a comforting contrast. We also enjoyed the Peri Peri sandwich and the refreshing guava drink. The food truck itself has a cozy seating area and board games, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy a delicious meal."“

“Excellent food and service. Value for your money.“

“Had a great experience and food with Shubham hall and banquet. Ordered food and snacks for a non profit event- Mr Arun and team delivered very fresh food (samosas, harabhara kebab, paneer pakoda, gulab jamoon) to a guest size of 500 people. Everyone liked the food and we are planning to order more food for any occasion and events. They also do occasion & events in their banquet hall and personalized menu and items. 100% recommended.“

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

“We tried the prawn kebab, Schezwan fried rice, and surmai thali. The prawn kebab and fried rice were delicious, offering rich flavors that we thoroughly enjoyed. However, the surmai thali did not meet our expectations; the fish lacked freshness and had an unpleasant odor, and the accompanying curries were not good in taste. We also found the menu prices slightly higher than anticipated for the portion sizes.

The dining area was quite noisy, likely due to its compact size. On a positive note, the staff were attentive and efficient, ensuring we didn’t have to wait long for our meals. If you’re interested in exploring fish-based dishes, this restaurant could be worth considering.“

“Exceptional place!
It’s very hard to come by such well-run places these days. The food is absolutely fantastic as well as reasonably priced. They cater to all taste buds and even modify it if you ask.

Paul and other staff members know the definition of hospitality and put it into practice!

Also, unlike other Indian places, they use Olive Oil for their cooking which doesn’t make you uneasy after a big meal. For this very reason, most days, our post workout meal is at Maya’s Kitchen ????“

“We love Kadhai Kitchen, authentic india food, best in entire Bay Area. Taste is all that matters, and they remind of maa ke hath ka khana. 👌🏻“

“We had been to this place specifically for Misal Pav and Kokam Sharbat as we had seen a lot of great reviews! Unfortunately the Misal Pav didn’t meet our expectations especially as I am fan of Mumbai Misal and Puneri misal, this one was a bit of bland with not that spice and rasa as I wanted 😔

Kokam sharbat however tasted really good, overall if you are looking not for authentic ones you can definitely try here for their dishes as for me I am used to having the proper Maharashtrian style food 😊“

“I am a Nepali. I know what am talking about. Hands down one of the best Nepali chowmein and momo we have had in the States!

They were quiet so we got seated immediately. The place feels like some fast-food joint with advertisements plastered all over the wall. The vibe surely takes you back home to Nepal.

We dined here for an early dinner. For a party of 5, we had 2 plates of chicken steamed Momo, 1 plate of Titanic (Jhol) chicken momo, chicken lollipops, 2 chicken chowmein, and goat curry with nan and rice! We had 3 rounds of complementary chai. (trust me we kept asking for it. The chai was that good!)

The momo was so fresh, piping hot with 2 styles of Nepali chutney, the chowmein came fresh with enough veggies and chicken, and the lollipop was crunchy! We were so full that we asked them to put the curry/rice/naan in to go box!

It hits you home when you find a Nepali restaurant that does not compromise on quality. The manager and the team took good care of us!

Pls pls give this business a try! Trust me they won't disappoint you.“

Vegetarian options: We only had one vegetarian dish but there were more than a dozen on the menu

Parking: Several parking spaces were available between 5 and 7“

“Fantastic food. Great place for vegetarians..the spicy paneer paratha is amazing, the thali is worth the price .. lots of food options in the menu..

The shikanji is also something worth while to try. The owner is very hospitable and great service.“

“Ulavacharu Tiffins is hands down one of my favorite places for authentic South Indian flavors! They have different branches around the Bay Area, making it so convenient to enjoy their amazing food wherever you are. But the absolute highlight for me is their coffee—rich, aromatic, and brewed to perfection. It’s like a comforting hug in a cup! The staff is friendly, the ambiance is welcoming, and the variety of dishes never disappoints. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re in the area. I’m in love with their coffee!“

“Well said the food was excellent, service was very fast very well behaved staff, very clean and hygienic. For Mother’s Day they gave a bottle of champagne as gift. Oh lovely it was“

“One of the best food I ever had in California.“

“Feel good food & atmosphere :)“

“We’ve ordered from them twice. Everything was delicious. The presentation was amazing. Even my kids enjoyed it. Especially the chicken kabobs… which my husband loves. They were so flavorful! I definitely recommend them! The owners are so kind and sweet!!! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Pav Bhaji & More is a good food truck overall.

Pav Bhaji: The Pav Bhaji is absolutely outstanding—rich, flavorful, and packed with authentic spices that hit all the right notes. It’s easily one of the best I’ve had and an absolute delight for anyone craving real street-style flavors.

Portion Size and Value: The portion size is shockingly small, especially given the pricing. It’s hard to overlook how inadequate the quantity is, which really impacts the overall value for money.

Service: The service is average. While the staff are polite, there’s room for improvement in terms of efficiency and attentiveness.

Ambience: For a food truck, the ambience is impressive. The seating area is clean, well-maintained, and provides a comfortable spot to enjoy your meal outdoors.

Overall, the Pav Bhaji is exceptional, but the portion size leaves much to be desired.

Vegetarian options: Tasty vegetarian food and options“

“Badoota has the best curated menu for all the non vegetarians . We had ordered Chicken , mutton biryani and chicken ghee rost . In vegetarian avrekayi biryani. All the items very delicious . It definitely took us back home. The meat was very tender and fresh. Thanks for the amazing food🙌🏼“

“Very tasty Food...Friendly Staff Good Service 🤗😊“

“Good food. We ordered medium spicy but could have gone spicier. Lunch comes with Naan and Rice. Pakoras are included for lunch orders as appetizers. The Raita has sugar in it. They have interesting Vegan dishes such as Vegan butter Chick'n where the "Chicken" is made with soy strips.“

“Great food and even better service. Pawan single handedly maintains the entire front of the store and does a phenomenal job. This place is far from my house so I visit rarely. 3 months between my previous visit and today's visit and he remembers exactly what I would order. Greets me, guesses my order before I say it, and gets it. Great job. And the food is excellent too- very flavorful and well prepared.“

“Outstanding Indian Cuisine - Truly Authentic!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this fantastic Indian restaurant, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food was incredibly authentic, and I was particularly impressed with the butter chicken and naan. Both dishes were absolutely amazing, bursting with rich flavors and perfectly cooked.

The service here is unparalleled. It felt like I was dining at home, with the staff going above and beyond to ensure my satisfaction. They made sure my food was hot, served promptly, and checked on me multiple times throughout my meal. It was truly the best service I’ve ever experienced.

I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a genuine Indian dining experience. The prices are also very reasonable, making it a great value for the quality of food and service you receive.

One suggestion for fellow patrons: if you’re considering ordering the bread basket, be aware that it takes some time to prepare. As a result, some of the breads might not be as fresh as if you order them individually.

Overall, this restaurant is a gem, and I can’t wait to return!

Vegetarian options: Many indian vegetarian options like butter panner“

“As authentic as it can ever get!
Fresh, quality ingredients that do not fail to impress. The compostable cutlery and plates is a huge deal to me. The owner's attention to detail reflects in everything making it a wholesome experience, ALWAYS! This is a review after my 6th or 7th visit and the consistency of service is impressive. You've earned a fan, Idly express!“

“They have amazing buffet. Halal meat is their speciality. Being vegetarian, I won’t be able to justify the meat options. But Vegetarian options were amazing. They have different spice level they can prepare you food with. The place was quite and clean.“

“great food. good price. very good staff“

“Its a hole in the wall type of place.. so if you're looking for homestyle food and the best service you can get.. this is the place you want be in. When you eat at someone's home, your host usually watches you diligently to make sure they are catering to you before you need to ask for something.. they try to anticipate your needs and offer it.. well, this is the place for that type of treatment!!
We were a group of 4.. but ordered MORE food than we can handle.. what did they do first? Take our order.. when the food seemed like it might fill up our table fast, they just casually came over and added an extension to our table.. so we can fit our food while we eat comfortably.. like WHAT? Most restaurants will think about keeping that table free for other guests.. It was not a quiet night either.
After that.. they saw how much we've eaten.. and say.. maybe you want chai instead of the chaas you ordered? We're like.. as a matter of fact.. you're right.. thats what feels good right now. 2 chai please.
As we're shamelessly packing it up, we missed asking boxes for a couple of items.. no no.. they observed.. and brought us extra boxes for those items.
As we walk away not wanting to ask for anything more.. they come over to hand us plastic bags so we're not going to mess up our cars.. no we did not ask for them.

Now.. this is what I call service and the food was AMAZING! We loved everything.. didn't leave anything behind.. I am still eating the portions we ordered and I cant wait to eat it again for dinner! YUMMY! I wish I could give them more than 5 stars for their service

Dietary restrictions: Its fully vegetarian.. but I think you can ask to make things vegan.. its really just butter or ghee they will need to refrain from adding.“

“Their food is so good it should be illegal!“

“Place where you get the best party hall, food and wholesome experience!“

“This is a reallly wholesome, family-run Indian vegetarian restaurant. For $18, they have a very tasty all you can eat buffet. They bring to your table some fresh made chapati too. There is a delicious lemon pudding for dessert and also always fresh fruit. If you want some good home cooking, this is the place.“

“Chandni Chowk provides more than just tasty food; it envelops you in a nostalgic atmosphere. The walls, decorated with Indian art from the 80s and 90s, evoke cherished memories, enhancing the dining experience.

The Aslam BBQ Chicken, Pav Bhaji, and Chicken Lollipop were outstanding, and the service was flawless. Chandni Chowk is a must-visit for anyone seeking delicious food and a nostalgic journey.“

“I had ordered authentic karnataka food for our house warming ceremony and the quality and taste of food was beyond what I expected. Bisible bath and Majjige Huli was the best!! Will definitely recommend her for your food catering needs. Thanks Ranjini for delivering such amazingly delicious food“

“First time here, i love the fusion items loke the chicken tikka burrito and salad bowls. It's an awesome twist on classic Indian flavors“

“We ordered Vijaywada Chicken Biryani and I must say it was delicious. As the name suggest , it was very spicy . I don’t generally eat this spicy but loved it . The real authentic biryani flavor with South Indian twist . Will definitely try again .
And the quantity was sufficient for 2 persons.“

“During my recent visit to Ananda Bhavan, I ordered their uttappam and rava dosa. The uttappam was soft and generously topped with onions and chilies, offering a pleasant taste. The rava dosa was crisp with a subtle flavor, accompanied by sambar and chutneys that complemented the dish well.

While both items were enjoyable, they didn't quite capture the authentic flavors found in India. The dishes lacked the depth and richness characteristic of traditional South Indian cuisine. However, considering the challenges of sourcing authentic ingredients abroad, this is understandable.

The restaurant offers a wide variety of dosas and other South Indian specialties, making it a popular choice among locals. The ambiance is casual, and the service is efficient. Prices are slightly higher compared to other South Indian eateries in the area, but the quality is decent.“

“Very good restaurant and Great food Thanks for nice service ... 5 Stars ⭐️“

“Awesome food!!! Yummy Soy chap🤩“

“Great experience! Food was fresh, served quickly and delicious. Loved the customer service! Will definitely be coming back! Wishing you guys the best!“

“We came here from Florida and wanted to try something unique. The food here is delicious. This picture is all we have left from 3 containers. We are full and very satisfied with the food. And the staff was very friendly. I would definitely recommend this to travelers and locals alike.“

“Chaat House has the cutest homely interior with old school TVs playing old Bollywood movies. You have a view of the cooks working hard in the kitchen and there is a very casual vibe. The cashiers and workers are really kind m, but they do not go above and beyond in any way. I usually get takeout of the rotis and a mango lassi. The prices for the rotis are quite cheap which I appreciate. $6.50 for 10 rotis. Talk about a deal! The rotis are soft and authentic, and this is quite visible when you first look at the roti. The rotis are of decent size and they remain fresh in their aluminum foil. For a delicious dessert I usually get a mango lassi as well. The mango lassi is a bit more expensive at $4 per drink. The mango lassi comes cold and tastes tart and fresh! OVERALL, the food for the price is very fresh and tasty, so I definitely recommend this joint to others as a causal place to dine. I will definitely be coming again when I get cravings for some refreshing mango lassi and soft roti!

Vegetarian options: All vegetarian options and many vegan options“

“Unassuming little hole in the wall that can barely seat 8 but serves incredible food. I got the pesarattu upma and was delighted by the texture and the flavors. The upma was just right and the sambar and chutney were on point.

The poori was a bit on the dry side but the chole more than made up for it.

Unfortunately chai is still served with no sugar, but it made for a good ending. This will be on my favorites list!“

“Delicious lunch, good portions“

“I had a delicious food and a true taste of India at RRR. I liked chicken biryani, Karvepaku chicken and chicken 65. My kids liked Butter chicken with NaaN. I will definitely be coming back and highly recommend it to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine.

Kid-friendliness: Kids have French fries, NaaNs and butter chicken“

“The best puris in the Bay Area. This place has hands down the best puris to use for pani puri and are difference between average and great pani puri. They also have a small variety of other equally delicious fried snacks. The puris sell out pretty fast so make sure you get there early.

They only accept cash/Venmo(extra 5%).“

“my first time here I felt the food was surprising good for the look of the location.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at Chaat House and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment I stepped in, the warm and inviting ambiance set the tone for what would be a delicious meal. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making great recommendations for both food and drinks.

They offer an incredible experience for anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. Whether you’re a fan of mild or bold flavors, there’s something for everyone here. Highly recommend!“

“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.“

“very yummy 😋 unlimited vegetarian Thali, with lots of curries, rice, roti sweet“
