50 Best Indian Restaurants near Union City

“Pretty nice restaurant in the UC area, they were able to accommodate my group of 12 though the restaurant is a bit smaller. The service was good, unlike the other reviews servers came to take our order, and food was good as well.

Started off with lamb seekh kabobs which were really good, and chicken malai was ok as well. Got the chilli chicken, I think it def could have been spicier, and had more veggies than meat, but meat was good. Mango Lassi was actually nice and thick! For entrees, we got the kadai chicken, chicken curry, and goat curry, all pretty good. And I absolutely LOVED the gulab jamun with ice cream at the end.“

“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.“

“Delicious and Fresh! Every dish at Garam Mirchi tastes homemade with fresh ingredients and authentic spices. The paneer fried rice and the Hakka noodles had a great smoky flavor. Definitely recommended!“

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

“I recently dined at a fantastic restaurant that left a lasting impression. The ambiance was inviting, the service impeccable, and the menu featured a diverse array of mouthwatering dishes. Each plate was a culinary masterpiece, showcasing the chef skill and creativity. The flavors were well-balanced, and the presentation was visually appealing. The staff was attentive, enhancing the overall dining experience. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone !❤️“

“I had chicken and lamb biryani and both were really good! Friendly staff too! Definitely worth it!“

“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.“

“Yesterday me and my wife tried annachikadai Fremont location for the first time. We went to watch a movie in cine lounge and then stopped here for lunch. We ordered vaazhai ilai virundhu (non-veg) and mutton biryani.

Banana leaf virundhu was really worth the price. Unlimited dishes. Everything was so fresh. My wife and I loved their parrotta (freshly made), chicken 65(hot, crispy and finger licking good), rasam (was out of the world) we had 3 cups and gulped it. It was like our mom’s preparation. I simply will go only to drink rasam. My god it was out of the world. Chicken curry, mutton curry, nethili fish kuzhambu, and fresh curd, kootu, appalam and kesari(I didn’t taste it, my wife mentioned it was good). You cannot share this meals with another person.

Mutton biryani - Was good and not that great honestly. It was jeeraga samba rice with ample pieces of mutton served with raita and Salan. I would prefer if it was prepared freshly , I felt it was cooked earlier during the day or previous day. May be I’m wrong. But we packed it home and my son loved it.

Overall definitely recommend this place for families and friends to come and try their authentic Tamil Nadu dishes. I met their chef and founder John who was very friendly and cool to speak with. Great service and great hospitality overall.“

“I have been wanting to try Eylan and was in the area last weekend, so stopped by on the off chance on getting a table. Even though it was so busy, the hostess, Jackie was so kind in trying to find a table for us. She went out of her way to get us a great table and even came to check on us during our meal! And then we got lucky with the best server, Mei. Mei had such a wonderful personality, professional and gave great food recommendations. I really appreciated her great service.

The food was delicious but honestly I will go back because of the amazing service we received from Jackie and Mei.“

“Great quality South Indian food 😍“

“Fast service… pay once you are done eating. Do not feel like in fast food setting. You pick your seat and order what you want. Awesome filter coffee. They have Dosa happy hour. And quality of food is great. Even the 3 chutney they give you is tasty. Overall one of the best in town.“

“Highly recommend as the everyday snacks are fresh and daily made. Biryani’s are heavenly, and yummy.“

“The food was really good, full of flavor and definitely one of the better meals we’ve had in a while. It’s great to finally find a place where the taste stands out. The only downside was the long waiting lines, and the staff seemed quite overwhelmed. Service could be smoother, but the food makes it worth trying.“

“Loved the food! Must visit!“

“This is Dublin's best kept secret for Vegetarian and south Indian cuisine and good lovers

Very less crowd.

Deserves much higher rating

Had Thali, was very fresh and homely taste.

The service and wait staff was very customer friendly and gave special attention“

“We had a great experience recently with Anurag and his catering team at our event. They were on time, very professional, and came fully prepared without missing even the smallest things. The food was delicious and all our guests really love the overall taste and experience. The live chole bhature station was a huge hit, and we especially loved that they adjusted the spice level exactly as requested. Guests also loved the chilly paneer, and everyone kept talking about how juicy and flavorful the chicken tikka was. The chicken lollipop tasted really good too. Overall, everything was handled smoothly and professionally.
Highly recommend them for any event!“

“Sofi’s Quinceañera was an absolutely unforgettable event, and a huge part of its success is thanks to the incredible team at the venue. From the moment we arrived, we were met with impeccable, friendly service and constant support with every detail.
The venue looked stunning—elegant, spotless, and perfectly prepared for each moment of the celebration.
The food was excellent, full of flavor and beautifully presented. Our guests were truly impressed.
We deeply appreciate the professionalism, organization, and kindness from the entire staff. We highly recommend this venue and will definitely choose it again for future family events. Thank you for making Sofi’s dream night come true! Raja thanksssssss“

“Our family enjoyed a great meal today @Raya. Dosa was tasty and we also ordered Chicken Biriyani. We also ordered appetizers , chicken 65 and mutton curry which was spicy. The service was great as well and was given accurate description of the spice level and food was on time. We will come back again 👍❤️“

“I’ve been a frequent customer since the restaurant first opened, and I truly appreciate how they’ve consistently maintained quality over the years. I also like that they proactively offer chutney and sambar without customers having to ask.
However, today was disappointing for the first time. I visited during happy hours, and the sambar was extremely watery and lacked flavor, which prompted me to write this review. I hope this was just a one-off and that the restaurant continues to maintain its usual high quality.“

“Really solid food. Great flavors, we had the Tikka Masala and the Pakistani beef dish. The naan was generous, we only wish the meat dishes had just a bit more meat to feel generous. That’s a good thing that we wanted more. Definitely a solid place.“

“Mumbai Chowk serves delicious staples and coastal Indian food! Personally I haven’t had Indian seafood dishes but their Pomfret fish fry thali is one our favorites! the goan fish curry, chicken kolhapuri, and butter chicken are some of other favorites!“

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

“We had Mylapore Kitchens cater our housewarming lunch, and they truly made the day special. From the start, Hameed sir took the time to understand exactly what we wanted and handled our 50-person order with the same care and attention as a much larger event.
The food was outstanding and felt deeply nostalgic. The rasam on a rainy day was perfect, the tangy tamarind rice and creamy vegetable kootu were highlights, and the spinach dal and okra sambar were comforting and full of flavor. The vadai and unlimited appalam were a hit with both kids and adults. Ending the meal with curd rice, fresh mango pickle, and buttery badusha was just right.
We also appreciated the thoughtful inclusion of lassi options so all our guests, including non-Indian friends, could enjoy the meal comfortably. Serving on bamboo plates with banana leaves added a beautiful, traditional touch.
There’s a saying that a housewarming isn’t complete until guests are fed and satisfied, and Mylapore Kitchens truly delivered that blessing for us. Highly recommend.
Anna datha Sukhibhava.“

“The food was awesome, heavenly,
stupendous piping hot and sizzling. The Butter Masala Dosa arrived with that perfect golden arrogance — crackling crisp outside, soft and yellow masala inside, tasting like someone in the kitchen actually cares. One dunk into the coconut chutney and you know resistance is futile. Pair it with their filter coffee and suddenly “just a snack” turns into a spiritually satisfying meal. 😋☕“

“It was our first time to go to this restaurant. The food was good, cooked fresh and hot. We liked the food very much and our server was wonderful. Looking forward to go again. #vegnchatcuisine #papihanandy #review #fremont #california #vegetarian #chholebhature #thali #vegthali #restaurant“

“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.“

“Dosa spot with delicious dosa and other Indian items too. 4.5 stars

Food: 4.5 Service: 4.5 Atmosphere: 4
Cost to worth it rating: 3
Opentableable: no but on their website but may not be needed
Return worthiness: yes
Eve award: best dosa I've had

Highlights:
- Dosa: loved the crispy chewy exterior and almost even more the mashed like potato inside was so delicate with mellow flavors. 5 stars
- Fried cauliflower: covered in super tasty sauce. Barely could tell it was veggie. 4.5 stars
- Biryani: packed full of of flavor and even though we got the milder one with chicken on the bone, had a kick. 4.25 stars
- Shrimp skewers: sizable simple shrimp cooked fine hidden under a lot of veggies including bell peppers, onions, broccoli, and kale. 3.5 stars
- Spinach paneer: mellow flavors and textures. 3.5 stars
- Can order online but also can order from the staff

Midlights:
- Menu online but quite long so harder to navigate with so many items. Would have preferred to peruse a physical menu.
- Casual restaurant but standing table numbers were odd like the ones you get when you order at a counter, but you order at the table.

Location:
- In a very small strip mall on a busy street. Parking has a few spots but many are only 20 minutes which is hard when you're dining in.“

“Maybe it was what we ordered or just a one off but the overall dining experience at Chowrasta just did not leave that feeling of satisfaction one should get after eating a delicious meal. The place was empty and looking at the seating capacity, it is more of a to go place. The hunt for Hyderabadi haleem brought us to this place. We also got the Mutton Mandi. Both of these dishes were served in plastic containers ready to go. The goat leg shank was tender and juicy but the Mandi rice was lacking flavor. The Haleem was better of the two items. Street Parking is a pain in this area especially in rush hours. Probably will try the Biryanis next time we are here and mostly will do a take out.“

“Food is very delicious“

“Thanks to some amazing IG posts we decided to visit Khati Peeti yesterday in Fremont. The restaurant is amazing, while it took a couple minutes to get us checked in and seated at peak lunch time on Sunday, we weren’t sure if the service would be fast.
Happy to review that their service and their food flavors were bang-on.
The Dahi puri, sheel kaba orders came quickly and the plates were cleared equally fast. As if on queue the main course arrived as soon as the starters
We’re finished. The naans and Lula were perfectly cooked and flavored and so was the paneer entree. A dessert order and receipt were fast as well..
on the way out we met both father and son owners duo.
We will be back soon! Great job Khaati Peeti!!“

“The vibe here is really lively. You can feel the desi atmosphere as soon as you walk into Chandini Chowk. We ordered Samosa Chaat and Pani Puri. The Samosa Chaat was delicious, packed with chutneys and yogurt. The Pani Puri comes with different types of water, and you get eight pieces to choose from flavors like mint, khatta meetha, kala khatta, pineapple, and mango. I really liked the khatta meetha pani the best. The chaat came out quickly, but we had to wait about 20-30 minutes for the pani puri. The best part is that we didn’t have to wait aimlessly, it was well organized with buzzers.“

“good home vibes. everyone was so nice. it was very clean. they run a tight ship at this restaurant. the workers were so gracious. but this is the best dosas i’ve had in the bay area. every other dosa lacks a lot of flavor but their fillings are so brilliantly made. also their sauces had a lot of flavor“

“Found Indian-Nepalese food truck in Oakley called Momo N Curry. Was very excited to try their food. Finding the location was little tricky as we have to take inner road to reach this truck. When I reached there, I was the only one as this is new location (mentioned by person who was taking order) and they have certain location fixed throughout the week.

Ordered Samosa Chat & Veg Chowmain for to-go. They prepared the food per order. Samosa chat was tasty 5/5
Veg Chowmain wasn't that tasty 4/5
Service was good 5/5
It's a food truck so can't rate atmosphere but would say good location.

Would try other items next time.“

“Tried this place for lunch with my colleagues. Great selection of vegetarian and non vegetarian options on the menu. For the first time ever, I was able to try a chicken dosa here (was OK, but I would not get it again). Pretty casual place for a quick lunch.“

“Stopped by for some vegan dinner. We had the vegan momo, tofu noodle soup and tofu curry. Food was good, the front desk guy was super friendly and helpful when we ordered. It is a take away place, but they have some tables if you want to eat there (we sat down for dinner)..

Vegetarian options: Vegan and vegetarian options“

“great food ,great hospitality, we love it.!!!!!“

“Back to my most favorite place to eat. Thanks to you Mr Abdul Aziz and your wife, you were upto the best as always. I have been coming to this place for last six years.Best authentic and food that tastes just like made at home. Hopefully I was staying near. I would go there every day. Thank you to Mr and Mrs Abdul for keeping this place a great one.“

“One of the good sign of simple but great clean food is look at menu options. A lot for time a place with very limited menu is the one where you would have great food quality in every food you order.

This was the case here. But keep in mind the Flavors here are Karnataka style. So you can't complain about Sambhar being on the sweeter side. Don't walk here expecting spicy food.

I tried Ponnugulu and Podi Masala Dosa and I enjoyed it thoroughly.“

“Always good and on time...“

“I love having my breakfast here of Idli, dosa, sambhar, vada etc. which is authentically prepared and is fresh, tasty and delicious. The chutneys are also very well prepared. They have vegetarian and vegan options. I love their coffee too.“

“We have been here almost every other week and this is at this point our fav restaurant in the area. Consistently good food (naan , biryani, malai kofta, chicken curries, very reasonable prices and very good staff who are courteous every single time. Not to mention free tea who doesn’t like that - hoping they maintain the consistency and fair prices we will keep coming back.“

“The ultimate deli the r best. Sandwiches yummm 5 stars for this place ..I will be back again“

“Authentic Kerala Malayali food in the San Francisco Bay Area and beyond! Karikku Cafe catered a feast at a celebratory event and all items were excellent! Aviyal, Erisseri, Kalan, Sambar, palada prathaman, Kichadi, Pachadi, Kichadi and so many items! We loved it! We plan to cater for our Onam Sadhya soon!“

“The food was good, I ordered Podi Masala dosa and it was perfect, the spice level and content and reasonably priced. The Sweet Lassi reminded me of Mumbai. With all those things, the ambiance is bit boring with no windows and you can see grocery stuff from the dining table, constantly reminding you to shop instead of enjoying the meal.“
