Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan,Vegetable Samosa,  Pulao Rice, 2Piece Gulab Jamun
Bere G.

Es nuestro lugar favorito de comida India,el aroma, el sabor y la temperatura de la comida para mi es perfecta. El servicio es bueno y rápido. Cerraban a las 3pm y en 45min ya habíamos ordenado y comido. Es un lugar limpio. El ambiente del restaurante me gusta porque tienen televisores pasando música y canales indios. Te dan una hora de estacionamiento gratis.

Chicken Tikka Masala and saag Paneer
Winnie S.

Chicken tikka masala- 2.5/5 for me. The tomato flavors really overpowered this dish. Usually this item is my go to at any Indian spot Saag panner-4/5. Probably one of the better ones I have. Good spinach to sauce ratio Garlic naan 4/5. Can taste the garlic on the naan. Could be fluffier.

diy Pani Puri
Eri S.

pani puri was great, it's diy so you can make the perfect bite of shatteringly crisp, refreshing tangy sweet spicy potato and a little channa. i would have preferred more channa but otherwise great. ended up getting food to go for dinner: veg biryani was mild as requested, the eggplant and okra were medium, and the pickles were nice and tart and spicy - mouth watering as i write about it now. def would go back and try more dishes.

I ordered the lamb and the rice. It was very flavorful. My particularly enjoyed the sauce was cooked in super soft and tender. The price was a little high $27. Will definitely be back.

It's hard not to go crazy ordering everything when I go here. This is my absolute favorite Indian restaurant period! I have been to countless Indian restaurants in the Bay Area to give you an idea. Their chai is the best that I have had and perfectly balanced. The chicken tikka masala, veggie Korma, veggie Pakora are the best that I have had. The staff are nice and the facility as well as the bathroom are always clean. Honestly every dish that I have had here is delicious. Can't go wrong!

Food!!!

Excited to try more dishes, the butter chicken, jasmine rice, garlic jalapeño nan were all very tasty. The service is great, everything comes out nice and hot. Flavors are on point!

I've never had a bad meal from Indian Grill. When I first came here a few years ago, I knew it was going to be good from the aroma that permeated the air as we walked to the restaurant. The food is always fresh and hot. The service is always swift and friendly. The ambiance is cool enough for family night or for date night. Sometimes the music from the tv's are a little too loud but they are accommodating in turning it down if need be.

Vegetable Pakoda,  Aloo Gobhi, Mixed Vegetables,  Basmati Rice, Chicken Tikka Masala
Jillian P.

Fast and delicious takeout. Nothing like some hot Indian food to warm your belly on a stormy day. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Aloo Gobi, Garlic Naan, Mixed Vegetables, a side of basmati rice, and Samosa Chaat. I enjoyed everything, but the Chicken Tikka with Garlic Naan was the standout combo. Open at 5pm on weeknights, and delivered to our door by 5:30pm!

The buffet is available on weekends (I believe from 11 AM to 2 PM) and offers a nice selection of flavorful dishes, along with free drinks! You can also order items from the regular menu that aren't included in the buffet. I ordered samosas to compliment the meal I was having with my brother, and they were delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they do a great job keeping the buffet stocked. Whenever a tray started running low, fresh food appeared almost immediately. That attention to detail made the experience feel well-managed and welcoming. The atmosphere is another plus. The newer buffet area gives the restaurant a unique feel, but traditional indoor seating is also available if you prefer. Overall, Flavor of India offers a great combination of variety, service, and atmosphere.

When I think about authentic top-of-the-funnel chicken and North Indian cuisine prepared exactly as…read moreI remember from my childhood, one restaurant immediately comes to mind: Flavor of India. This exceptional establishment has become my go-to destination for experiencing the genuine flavors and aromas that transport me back to cherished memories of home-cooked meals from years past. I discovered Flavor of India several years ago, and since that initial visit, I have never once been disappointed--not with the food, not with the service, and not with the overall experience. What makes this restaurant truly special is the remarkable consistency they maintain. Every time I walk through their doors, I know I'm in for an authentic culinary journey that honors traditional North Indian cooking methods and recipes. The heart and soul of Flavor of India are undoubtedly Pawan and Gurudev, the dedicated staff members who don't just serve customers--they welcome guests like family. Their warm hospitality creates an atmosphere that goes far beyond a typical dining experience. They remember regular customers, take time to explain dishes, make thoughtful recommendations, and genuinely care about ensuring everyone feels comfortable and well-cared-for. This personal touch transforms a simple meal into something meaningful and memorable. The restaurant's physical space itself contributes significantly to the overall ambiance. Abundant natural light floods the dining area, creating a bright, welcoming environment that feels both refreshing and inviting. Unlike dimly lit restaurants where you strain to see your food, Flavor of India's well-lit space allows you to fully appreciate the vibrant colors of the dishes--the rich reds of tandoori preparations, the golden hues of curries, and the fresh greens of chutneys and garnishes. Adding another layer to the sensory experience, the restaurant often plays bhajans--devotional songs that provide a spiritual and cultural soundtrack to your meal. These traditional hymns are a true blessing, creating an atmosphere that feels authentically connected to Indian culture and heritage. The combination of soulful music with the aromatic spices wafting from the kitchen creates a multisensory experience that engages not just your taste buds but your entire being. Whether you're seeking the comfort of familiar childhood flavors or exploring North Indian cuisine for the first time, Flavor of India delivers on every front. The authenticity of the food, the warmth of the staff, the inviting atmosphere, and the thoughtful cultural touches all combine to create a dining experience that nourishes both body and soul. This is more than just a restaurant--it's a place where tradition, hospitality, and exceptional food come together perfectly.

We have our favorites from their menu but they host a variety of curries, proteins, and small bites/street eats. Panipuri - crispy balls ready to be loaded up with lentils, delicious fillings and sauces, these mouthfuls are great for starters but you'll find yourself eating these throughout the meal not only because you're hungry but also because you just can't get enough of them. Samosas - hearty fried dumplings packed with potatoes that are perfect for eating on the go. Great by itself or with sauces and curry, these hot pockets are a burst of flavor that will stuff you up. Goat curry - full of flavor and a bit on the spicy end for those sensitive to capsaicin. Pair with naan or rice and you'll be golden, from the tastes you'll be experience as well as the heat! Butter paneer/chicken - the sweetness of the curry is subtle but the creaminess is what will win you over. Smothered over chicken or paneer, this is a delicious palate pleaser. Biryani - solid staple, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Great by itself or paired with some curry or a grilled entree. Salmon - delicious but a bit overcooked for my liking but in a pinch, omega-3s can be supplemented in this meal. Overall, Phulkari satisfies our craving for Indian curry any day and it's great knowing that the experience will consistently be a good one anytime those cravings come up. We haven't had a chance to dine in but would welcome the opportunity to visit for a sit down. For now, they're still our go-to for Indian cuisine when we are in the area. Unsure of where you'll end up settling for food or not having the time or space to cook an elaborate meal packed with flavors and aromas? Phulkari pulls through as the restaurant of choice!

Beware of the dishonest coupon promotions…read more I actually like the food, but my experience with this restaurant's business practices was terrible. I have now received the same "20% OFF your entire order" promotion multiple times. The email contains a "CLAIM 20% OFF NOW!" button that directs customers to their online ordering platform, clearly implying that the coupon can be redeemed online. The coupon does not work online. When I called, I was told they would only honor the discount if I ordered in person. After I ordered, I discovered that the in-person menu prices were noticeably higher than the online prices. Then what worse? We were kept waiting for about 40 minutes, and the staff was RUDE and dismissive. After comparing the prices, the advertised 20% discount worked out to be only about 5%. A 5% discount is definitely not worth a 40-minute wait and the attitude! This was not a one-time mistake. I recently received the exact same promotion again, tried it again, and once again the coupon did not work online. At this point, I have lost trust in this restaurant's practice. I believe it is a distasteful tactic to get customers committed before they discover the reality. The coupon doesn't work online, so you're told to drive to the restaurant instead. Only after arriving and ordering do you realize the in-person menu prices are higher than the online prices. By then, you've already spent the time and effort to get there. The food is not bad, but given what they did and given how RUDE (getting worse actually) they are! I will no longer be returning nor recommending them to others after 6 yrs. ordering from them!

My friends have been raving about this place for a month or two now and I was finally able to…read morecheck it out. I'm happy to say, it lived up to their hype. I should also say, this is only the 2nd time I've had pani puri. The first time I had it was at a cart outside of an Indian market in SJ and it was really good. My opinion was affirmed when I saw a long long of mostly Indian people developing behind us patiently waiting for their turn. Anu's Chaat Corner has only 1 flavor compared to the 5 or 6 I had tried at my first experience, but this one was much more complex and had pieces of chick peas and I don't know what else (it might've been potato) but it was full of flavor. The Dahi Bhalla Chaat and Aloo Tikki Chole were equally impressive. I loved the potato patty in the Aloo Tikki Chole and the crunchy bits in the Bhalla Chaat. There's limited outdoor seating but this is a street food place so it's very quick to eat and go. And by go, I mean go inside Kulfi Creamery to cool off your tongue with some delicious ice cream. The couple that own Anu's Chaat Corner are very sweet and welcoming. Be sure to check their Instagram account (@shefanusharma) for their catering menu.
