I grew up in the UK and have been to a lot of Indian restaurants. This place was very good. The food came out piping hot and fresh. The serving size was generous, specifically there was a lot of paneer in my radiant gold curry. It came with rice and I ordered a butter naan on the side. The owner was so personable and welcoming. I'm visiting from out of town but look forward to coming back here and hopefully bringing family to share the experience. I ate the food before being able to get a pic because I was hungry but here's the cup of chai which really hit the spot The mango lassi was also worth getting. read more

Chennai Bamboo Garden - Masala Chai (Tea) - Chinese Near Me - Folsom, California

Service was exceptional. There was only one waitress but she did her best to accommodate us. She reassuresd us to not rush our dining experience. All the entrees were rich and full of flavor. I ate everything before I could take good pics. We orders: 5/5 Clay Pot Rice with Goat was amazing. The goat was super tender. 5/5 Pompano Fish curry was surprisingly good as well. 4/5 jackfruit Masala - a little too tarty 5/5 And of course, the garlic naan..yum. read more

I am absolutely in love with Chennai Bamboo Garden. The food impressed me so much on my first visit that I found myself back within a week just to try more of their dishes. Every item we ordered was full of bold, authentic flavors and cooked with real care. The Manchurian soup and mutton soup were both deeply comforting and aromatic. The shrimp fry, chicken sukka, and chicken lollipops were packed with spice, texture, and that wonderful South Indian flair. The Chennai street rice and goat biryani were standouts, each infused with layers of seasoning that kept us going back for more. Even the lassi is beautifully made, with a subtle blend of fragrant Indian spices like saffron and cardamom. The service here is attentive, warm, and consistent. The ambience is simple and not extravagant, but it is comfortable and welcoming enough for a relaxed meal with friends or family. If you are craving outstanding Indian or Indo Chinese dishes, this is the place. I can almost guarantee you will return just as quickly as I did to explore more of their menu. I truly cannot wait to go back! read more

Got the vegetable biryani special at the bottom of the menu and hope they keep the good price for two meals in the future. It had all the unique flavors and sauce expected. It was busy and filled with people of that culture and is nice to be open when all the other places in the area closed at 8. It did take a little long to prepare my food and they did miss the two spring rolls that are supposed to be included with that special, guess I should have checked and asked. Also the default tip options for the takeout screen is kind of asking for it... read more

Chennai Bamboo Garden is tucked in the Broadstone Plaza that has always delivered consistent, great tasting food. All their Biryanis, clay pots, and curries taste amazing and we always have a great time here. Our favorites last time we went were the dry pepper chicken and the paneer and babycorn biryani. They were so flaovorful and delicious. Can't wait to come back! read more

Service is hit and miss. I would prefer ordering the food for take out. Indoor service- customer service was slow and they were not willing to combine the tables. We were party of 7 people. I would say, they have some good Indian dishes. read more

Never order Uber Eats or any other delivery from these guys. I have ordered twice - one time they missed the naan breads and the curry was all spilled in the bag - another time they missed 2 items. So frustrating. Uber refunds the money but that does not fix anything. The food that you were waiting to eat is not here and it is so disappointing and frustrating. read more

Always in search of new fusion cooking, we stopped by this place tonight. We spoke to Bharti about some of the below feedback and shared with her our thoughts. She was kind and working especially hard ( it seems that tonight they had fewer than usual staff). The Food: Four stars because the food is fantastic. Anything that is south indian on the menu, is fire. Amazing spices and perfectly fresh. Very impressed by how tasty the food is. Having high expectations for Indian food in general, they represented spicy south indian dishes very , very well. We had the Ghee Roast Chicken, Paneer 65, the Tawa Fish Fry, and Paneer/Veg Biryani. All great. The "Chinese" variety was not so expected and honestly they could eliminate it altogether. We go the veg noodles as MILD, and they were fresh but nothing to repeat. The restaurant would do much better being less confusing as an indo chinese place, but rather a go to south indian street food place. If you wanted noodles for kids, perhaps have a kids menu with simple dishes, rather than brand yourself as a "indo chinese". Definitely come here for the food. The ordering workflow: We shared this with Bharti. It was confusing. You need to go to the counter to let them know if you want to carry out or dine in. If you want to dine in, you pick a table, and the waiter brings over a tablet from which you can order . If you want a to go order, you walk over to the wall where there are paper signs that indicate those are for to go ordering. While we were dining in, we saw a gentleman order food from the wall, and then sit down at a table to eat. Not his fault, super confusing. A regular customer sitting next to us, also stated she didn't like the tablet ordering. Bharti mentioned this ordering system helped with saving time, and not having to wait for someone to take your order. But the trade off here, is not getting to talk to anyone about recommendations, it's stressful to the customer to order based on photos, and we still had to call over a waiter to ask questions. So unless you have only repeat customers that know your menu fully, this is not a good initial experience for the customer. The ordering kiosks are located in a wierd place too, if there was a full house of people you would have to be hovering over a table to place your order. I would get rid of those and maybe have a counter option. Honestly I would get rid of the whole tablet ordering altogether. Definitely post a menu online, and have some paper menu's available for your less tech savy customers, if you decide to keep the tablet ordering system. The service: So... we came in on a night that wasn't well staffed (happens sometimes) and we could see Bharti filling in and running around. She was so friendly and kind, and did it with a smile. She was bringing out orders, taking orders, talking to guests, basically everything. Its a family business, but I would leave kids out of the kitchen, and the chef which I believe is the husband, kept calling out for Bharti while she was talking to us. I can see she was stressed and he was kind of annoying, calling her name out every second and asking her to come to the kitchen. You need more professionalism, your wife was working super hard and doing a great job keeping customers happy. Overall, you must definitely try the food, they really do have a special talent here. Running a restaurnt is hard, and we hope that they take some pointers into consideration. We talked to Bharti at length after our meals and shared this information. She brought up an intersting point. She stated that desi (Indian origin) customers expect food immediately and are not willing to wait. But if that same customer goes to an american establishment they would never complain even if they waited for over 45 minutes. I agree with her. There needs to be a cultural shift here. The food we got was amazing, and served super fast. But we as customers should give the restaurant staff grace and they shouldn't feel pressurized. Let's all be mindful that good food takes time to cook. We hope to be back and hope to see it a little less chaotic and more organized next time. Great, great food, and that will definitely be the cornerstone for your success and return customers. read more

My family and I made a pit stop here for lunch coming from Tahoe. We're tired, a bit sore, and it was lunch time. Let's just say the food breathed life back into us, we just kept adding dishes to our table! Not to mention the kind service, everyone was so patient and nice! Highly recommend the chili chicken (has a slight kick), shrimp, and garlic flatbread. We will definitely come back again when we can! read more

Wow what an experience! We were gonna eat ramen noodles next door when we were overtaken by the aromas coming from this new Indo-Chinese fusion restaurant in the Bel Air Plaza. The place was decorated with neon and white marble tables. Soft pop dance music was nice to hear in the background. The Apollo Fish Fry appetizer and Warm Whispers (chicken) soup came out first and were super flavorful. The garlic nan and butter chicken came came out as the entrees and were probably the best I can remember having in a long time (and I've been to a lot of Indian restaurants all over town). Most of the dishes seemed like Indian staples although maybe the noodle and rice dishes were the fusion options. Overall I agree with the previous reviews - 5 stars! This place deserves more business read more

For a start, ambiance is great. Restaurant was clean, nicely decorated. Howedon't expect customer service here. You are better off placing an order to go on their kiosk and be on your way out. It was our first time there so we decided to look at the kiosk menu and sat down to dine in. We waited 10 mins and no one came out to greet us. There was a older man who was behind the counter, we let him know it's to dine in and he said to have a seat.. but there was some confusion and no one came out. We ended up ordering food on their kiosk as take out. At the end I tried to mention this to the lady, she wasn't receptive to my feedback. Everything was an excuse and she kept cutting me off. It was not worth it for me to continue, I will not be back. If they keep this up, they will be closing down in the next 6 months. Food was mediocre: Manchurian 5/10 Rice 5/10 Noodles 3/10 (too dry) Divine chicken 3/10 Will not be returning. read more

There is zero Chinese in this "fusion" restaurant. We choose all the most Chinese leaning cuisine available, which was not much- but their Indian food smelled amazing! This is not a suitable substitute for RHCP Folsom which has closed. I would not recommend this place if you want anything other than Indian cuisine. read more

First time eating here tonight, and I must say I'm glad I did. I was debating whether just to get a sandwich or try this new place, and I'm happy I made the latter choice. Food was amazing -- flavorful, portion is huge (I wasn't aware so I ordered two plates and couldn't even finish one), and service was great. Note that there are no paper menus. After you sit, they bring out a tablet for your table and you order from there. You can also add orders is the tablet no problem. The only glitch is, where they require a spice level, there is no option for "no spice" but you can't continue without choosing one. The server helped me through this and we resolved it by just adding it in the notes. Definitely recommend and will most certainly return. read more

First visit here and was quite impressed. The decor is pleasant and the service is friendly and attentive. We tried a variety of menu items and all were delicious, with a delightful depth of flavor. Butter Chicken is a standard dish we can always use for comparison and their version was superb. Lamb curry (I forget which curry it was), bonelesss fish fry, and garlic naan were all similarly delicious. Even their long grain rice was delightfully fluffy. (We didn't however see much of the Chinese part of Indo-Chinese on the menu.) One logistical criticism (but not sufficient to affect the five-star review), is that they use an iPad attached to one corner of the table as a menu and also to input your order. It worked fine for my wife and me, but for parties of more than two, it's going to be a problem, in that only one person at a time can interact with it and people at the opposite corner of the table aren't going to be able to see it at all. So maybe they might rethink that. But otherwise, we can't wait to return and further explore the menu. read more

Sat there for 15 minutes without anyone coming to our table. Saw a lot of other people waiting as well. On a previous occasion, with a group of 7 people, the first person got his food 15 minutes after ordering while last person had to wait for 45 minutes. Quality was good but service is pathetic. read more

Chennai has some good Indian cuisine. The restaurant was clean and the food was delicious. Will definitely go back there again.

Great find of authentic Indo Chinese food in El Dorado Hills on our way home from skiing and boarding. The food was quite tasty including the rice clay pot saffron rice with chicken, garlic flatbread, dragon Dash noodles, and a shrimp dish. Spicy but excellent! The service was very friendly and inviting...we highly recommend!! It beats burgers and chicken tenders on the way or back from Tahoe! read more

The food was tasty but I felt the prices were higher than other Indian restaurants in Folsom area for some of the same dishes

Our first time here and we loved it. First of all, there was music, but not loud...very soft. The TV screen showed stunning pictures of nature, very relaxing. The food was delicious and they will adjust the level of spiciness to your liking. The decor is pleasing and modern. More emphasis on Indian dishes than Chinese. It is our new go-to for Indo-Chinese food. Sauces were phenomenal! read more
