Dishes like clay oven specialties, several types of curries, (seafood, chicken, goat, lamb), momos, biryani, soup and even Himalayan fried noodles and kabobs. Express Lunch menu (menu notes which items are gluten free and vegan), includes lentil soup, salad, butter naan and choice of white or brown rice. We really appreciated the brown rice option. Chicken tika masala - tandoori roasted chicken simmered in a mild creamy sauce. Our sweet server (owner?) mentioned that about 95% of the people love this dish and I am definitely in that group. Wonderful flavors and generous amount of tender chicken. Tofu, kale & potato curry - ingredients all simmered with basil and coconut milk. Very flavorful and seemed healthy. My husband would definitely order again. Our server was friendly, caring and was always smiling. Two servers were handling the entire dining room plus the outdoor diners and they were seamless in their efforts. Our server had recommended the tika masala to me and she was curious what I thought of it. I would order it again tomorrow! The interior is decorated comfortably. Located across the street from the town green. A lovely and enjoyable first time dining experience here.

Inside the restaurant there is a calming feeling as they were playing slow Hindu chanting music low on their sound system. The first server We began with was very young and maybe learning the menu still as he was really not that good at answering questions on the menu. As soon as we checked in on Yelp, suddenly service picked up. Another more experienced server brought us first, hand towels to wipe out hands (a nice touch, but the towels were almost cold when he brought them, was it an after thought?); and he also brought us complimentary cups of dal that were very tasty. The dishes we got were saag lamb, butter chicken, and organic channa masala, and garlic buttered Naan. Had our first server known how to describe menu better we may have chosen a few different items. He did recommend the butter chicken as one of his favorite so that's why we got it as we often enjoy it other places as well. It was very good, a classic with great sauce, probably the favorite dish. The saag lamb was good too, but we almost got the patak lamb, similar sounding dish but maybe creamier/ other veggie too? But our first server could not really describe difference well. I'm thinking we may have enjoyed the other dish better than saag lamb which was good, but felt the spinach was extremely over cooked, and so finely chopped almost like it was highly minced or powdered? But it was flavorful. The Channa Masala was on the dry side. We we're trying to decide on a saucy vegetable dish and we asked about this dish because we liked that it said organic. That same first server said it was saucy, but not that saucy. Each dish comes with your choice of white or brown rice, or steamed veggies. Two dishes we got brown rice with, and the third we got steamed veggies because we thought there would be more sauce overall to add them too. The rice was allot ( took quite a bit home); the veggies were this nice mix, but so boring with no taste, and what a waste. The veggies even had water floating in bottom of dish. It would be so much nicer if there were an option to have these lightly stirfried with a little flavor as an option ( they were completely bland) , and there was really not enough saucy stuff to add them to so only partially eaten, left remaining there on table instead of taking home with other stuff. We asked for a sample of their side sauces and we got a tiny (like a tablespoon each?) 3 dish sampling of their very tasty homemade mango sauce, tart and tangy cilantro mint sauce, and some sweeter tamarind sauce. But they were very tiny amounts. The Naan was light and crisp, very nice, but could barely taste garlic butter. We asked for our dishes to be medium heat and it was fairly mild for us still, but i guess with American palate, spicy can be relative. But oh well. We also had cups of chai (under $5.00) that had refills, and a glass of house white wine ( Murphy good Sauvignon Blanc was only $8.00 so that was a deal). I'm giving 4 stars for their efforts, but hope they read this so they can improve a few things.

The manager (I think) greeted and seated us. He was clearly bought into the place and excited about what they were doing. We were seated at a table near the center of the restaurant. Our server was very pleasant and kind. He seemed **fairly** knowledgeable about the menu. My wife asked about some of the coctails and he did not know, but the bartender was **exceptional.** She had two coctails and the bartender worked with her to tweek them just a little, to her taste, which she really appreciated. He even came to our table to take her second drink order. We got the three tip with veggie appetizer, which was good and a burger and pizza, both of which were exceptional. We ordered the corn ice cream. My wife asked if it was salted. The waiter said it wasn't and it was, but he did not charge us. We also had the tres leches cake, which was quite nice. They had two beers on tap, A Pilsner by Russian River and an IPA by someone else (I do not recall who). Neither struck my fancy, but I had a very nice hazy IPA in a can. We paid about $150 with tip and tax for an appetizer, two mains, two coctails and a beer. The next morning, I asked my wife how soon we could go back.

An older interior, high ceilings with some printed art on the walls with mirrors and a glass front. I ordered their Pakora for an appetizer, it was pretty good. Not a large serving but enough to get us started. I went with the Tandoori Duck, a nice presentation, served sizzling hot and was good. The food was good, and the service sort of okay.

Blink and you'll miss this unassuming place -- and boy will that be a mistake!…read more We walked in and I thought, "Okay" -- nothing fancy, although fancy doesn't necessarily mean great food. Got that right! Cause the food here was EXCELLENT. Shared garlic naan -- yes, some are better than others, and this place's was really good. Asked for recommendations from the person working at the front and got the chicken korma at her suggestion; highly recommend! We also had dal and sag paneer, as well as something with eggplant that I don't recall, but that I also enjoyed. All dishes come with a small side of rice. But if you don't do heat, I'd suggest mild -- or, as some restaurants sometimes do, even "no spice." We ordered our food medium spicy -- if you're a spice person, that should be enough, friend. It definitely made me pay attention, but the heat didn't linger on after the meal. The flavor, however, did. Definitely look forward to returning!

It wasn't busy, and the gentleman working was very nice, offering me samples of masala chai and dal before I made a final decision on my order. You won't find any amazing vibes here. It's just the truck on the side of the road, but the food is great! I really enjoyed the butter chicken. It was a tad spicy for my kids, and butter chicken usually isn't, but perfect for me. My grandma enjoyed the veggies and dal dish. The naan wasn't perfectly fresh, but good nonetheless. This certainly isn't the best indian food I have ever had, but it does the job and is really your only option for indian in this area. I felt like the prices were fair given the portions. While visiting Guerneville, I tried all three of the local permanent food trucks. They are all worth trying, but if I had to rate them, Jays Taste of India would be in second place out of the three. Enjoy!

He is most positive, friendly and conscientious He keeps an eye on all the diners, removing plates, replacing water for the table with a new chilled bottle, and he keeps a close eye on all the buffet items and communicates with the chef when something needs replenishing. The food is, therefore, hot, fresh and incredibly delicious. The one thing we really appreciated is they offer brown and white rice. We much prefer brown rice so that was another positive along with fresh greens. They provide the table with a huge order of fresh naan bread when you first sit down too. The buffet items were prepared with much love and care and all six of us had the most wonderful meal. The interior is clean and inviting.
