We decided to try Methi after seeing the great reviews. We ordered the butter chicken, curry chicken, garlic naan, basmati rice X2, chicken samosas,a beer, and mango lassi. Our bill came to about $70+ before tip. The entrees did not come with rice or naan so we had to order that separately. The curry was okay but sauce was very watery. The butter chicken was good but the chicken was a little dry. The chicken samosas were very dry and needed tons of sauce. I think a cream based sauce would've been better to help with the dryness of the chicken. Overall the food was okay, nothing stood out to justify the higher price point. The entree by themselves were $19 each and portions were not generous. Would not recommend the samosas. Chicken was so dry it was hard to swallow. Overall decent but I don't think we will be back.

Had a good meal here for the first time back in mid July. After The Essence closed, we were looking for a new Indian restaurant in Walnut Creek. I made a 6:30 reservation on a Friday night, and am glad I did since it was busy. The decorations are the first thing you notice when you walk in. Here's what we ordered: Vegan Mango Lassi 5/5 - so glad there was a vegan version of the drink! I'm not vegan but can't have a lot of dairy. This was delicious and helped between bites of spicy foods. Garlic Naan 4/5 - not the best naan I've had, but perfectly fine for dipping in curry Dosa 5/5 - this was delicious and HUGE! 4 people can share this as an appetizer. we had leftovers that we took home. This was the highlight of the meal. Coconut chicken curry 4/5 - pretty good! Lamb Saag 3.5/5 - not super memorable but good Service was decent, and there was free parking behind the building. I will likely eat here again.

Thanks to a recent Reddit thread on good Walnut Creek lunch specials, my family and I decided to try Methi, which is right on the last block of the downtown Walnut Creek area where you don't see many of the usual storefronts and restaurants. We're so glad we went because the food was spectacular, well spiced and flavored, and had huge portions! (No need for an appetizer, which was our mistake for ordering, the lunch meal was enough!) I can't wait to go back!

Garlic Naan and Mango Chutney and Plain Basmati Rice

We've gone to Methi several times but today I finally took pictures and I'm writing a review. The people that work there are so nice. The restaurant is really small but super cute. I love the food. We had the garlic naan and it was just exceptionally yummy. I ordered a mango chutney and it was only two dollars and they gave a really nice amount and it was so tasty. We had basmati rice. That was really yummy as well. Great restaurant highly recommended it.

After seeing posts on Nextdoor, a friend and I tried Methi for the first time last month (January 2025). We both got the lunch special, which came with naan, rice, and salad. I had the veggie tikka masala and she had the baingan bharta. I didn't love the veggie tikka masala as it didn't have the tikka masala sauce I'm accustomed to in this dish. The best part of the special was the naan. Though we were there in the early afternoon, the restaurant wasn't crowded and our food was served quickly. Wanting to give Methi another chance, I ordered shrimp curry and roti tonight (2/14/2025) via DoorDash. When my order arrived, I got chicken curry instead. I called Methi to let them know the order was incorrect. Not only was the owner, Vikram, apologetic, but he offered to personally deliver the corrected order. When he arrived, he refused to take the tip I offered. Before I knew it, I was enjoying my shrimp curry! Though the sauce was a tad salty for my liking, the spices more than made up for it. I love that he included roti with the second order because it soaked up the curry nicely. Thanks Vikram for ensuring I got my order corrected (and I'm sorry my apartment can be difficult to find at night)! Tonight was the first time a restaurant owner addressed an issue with an incorrect order AND personally delivered it to me. It's clear customer satisfaction is important to him, which means he went into the restaurant business for the right reasons. I'll definitely be back for the roti and plan to try the paneer dishes and aloo gobi in the future!

Mint Chicken Kabab, Lamb Korma, Veggie Biryani, Plain Naan

My partner and I came here for a date night. Food was great and the server was very nice. Would come back and highly recommend to friends!

A fun little restaurant with marigolds dangling from the ceiling, it's a nice looking interior, bright, cheery, homey. Indian music played in the background, the floor was clean and so were the tables. I was visited and taken care of by two different friendly staff members. Whenever I go to a new-to-me Indian restaurant, I always order the same thing: mango lassi, some form of soup, some form of bread, some rice, and butter chicken. Overall good flavor with everything, though I think their dishes lean towards an Afghani/Indian fusion. Mango lassi - thicker than any other lassi I've ever had but a good flavor and not overly sweet, homemade. 4/5 Chicken soup - I'm not a fan of rustic cut vegetables, which is what the soup was; good flavor though. It came out scalding hot, I had to eat it after my main dish. 3/5 Vegetable samosas - the outer pastry was much thicker than my liking, but the flavor of the Samosa inside was good. The tamarind chutney served with it was good, a little tart, little sweet, a little spicy. The cilantro chutney, they served with it, looked and tasted like the cilantro chutney from Afghani food. 3/5 Aloo paratha - when this came out it looked and tasted like bolani kachaloo. Adding the cilantro chutney on it made me think I was in an Afghani restaurant. It came out with a form of raita that was smoother, spicier and a more dill flavor than I've ever had before. The ramekin that it came in, was garnished with puffed rice. 4/5 Butter chicken - this butter chicken had a nice smoky flavor to it that I like, but any similarities between it and any other butter chicken I've ever had ends there. It doesn't look like the sauce was strained as it wasn't smooth, and it was missing the tanginess and slight sweetness that normally accompanies a tomato sauce. I asked for medium spice and I'm not sure there was any heat to it other than the temperature. lol I'm not sure that I would order it again, it was a decent flavor, but when I order butter chicken, I expect something different. 3/5 Overall, a positive experience and I will be back as I would like to try their dosa and idli sambar. My only concern with those two items would be their cut on the vegetables - rustic or diced and julienned?

A delightful Indian restaurant in Downtown Walnut Creek, nestled next to The Habit and Yogurtland. My husband and I came in last Wednesday for dinner because I was craving Indian food. We ordered their chicken tikka masala and saag paneer (both mild) with plain naan, paratha, and plain basmati rice to accompany the dishes. Everything was cooked well and so flavorful! The chicken pieces in the CTM were surprisingly moist, and went extremely well with the naan and rice of course. The saag paneer had a little bit of tanginess/sour notes to it, which I didn't mind, but definitely wasn't expecting. Still good though. Also got an Iced Chai to wash it all down, which was not too sweet and had a nice light chai flavor to it. We were the only customers dining in at the time, so of course we had the most attentive server. She was great. No complaints about this visit! Will definitely come back again.

Methi in Walnut Creek is an absolute gem. The food is always phenomenal--fresh, flavorful, and consistently delicious...and the service is always unbelievably fast without ever feeling rushed. We've been lucky enough to have Victor as our server on multiple occasions, and he made the experience even better. I once came in feeling under the weather, and he was so kind and thoughtful, bringing me chai and telling me it would help me feel better. He was right...it really did. That level of care is rare and so appreciated. My go-to order is the veg samosa...crispy, perfectly seasoned, and paired with tamarind sauce that is seriously THE BOMB. The garlic naan is a must every time. I love the coconut curry chicken, and my date swears by the chicken tikka masala with a side of rice for us to share. The portions are generous, so we always have enough to take home, and it's still delicious the next day! Also don't forget a hot chai tea The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated and has such a cozy, cute vibe, perfect for a date or a relaxed dinner out. Between the incredible food, warm service, and quick turnaround, Methi is easily one of my favorite spots in Walnut Creek. Highly recommend!

Outside - good thing they have the 'I' in the name !!!

Off the beaten track some what on California st -,but the quality of food was worth the extra walk from Main Street. Service was good -,though had to call for extra bottle of water after first one finished. Definitely would come back as food was of high standard and cooked just right.

WC is so lucky to have an amazing restaurant like Methi! The food & service is outstanding. I would highly recommend any of their sizzling tandoori dishes. The dishes come with veggies like zucchini, broccoli & onions, which is a great compliment. My favorite so far is the mint chicken kabob with a side of garlic nan. Yum! Ask for the homemade spicy sauce, if you dare. It's unbelievable! The decor & ambiance is a cool vibe. Can't wait to go back next week! read more

The food was delicious, the ambiance I set to appear as an authentic Indian restaurant and service was attentive. I was hesitant to go and was actually on my way to Habit Burger next door when my friend suggested a last minute audible. I argued against the audible, but saw that the place didn't appear crowded and the environment felt welcoming so I gave it a shot knowing that I would have to use Tums because Indian restaurants often over spice everything, but no, I had no indigestion or heartburn and the spice was perfectly added to not overpower and kill the taste of the dish, but to enhance the taste to the next level. I recommend this place if you're into central Asian food. read more

One of my favorite (if not most favorite) Indian restaurant in the Bay Area. I have been coming here since its opening and have been satisfied every time. The owner is quite kind and always provides excellent service. Methi uses high quality spices and it's apparent in the quality of the food. I honestly don't know what else to say.. I like dining in and out here at Methi. Oh, and I will mention this too: I have an issue with my gut so sometimes I'm nervous about eating out.

My wife and I are so happy we went to dinner at Methi last night. Upon arrival the restaurant was about 25 percent full and it seemed smaller than my expectations. It was a comfortable, colorful and casual atmosphere. We noticed many people getting takeout as well. The menu has a large number of appetizers and entrees and a few different Indian beers. My wife ordered a glass of wine and I ordered Kati Patang beer. The beer was nice but my wife did not think much of the wine. We had the fried vegetables appetizer special and they were very good especially with some raita mixed with green chutney as a condiment. We ordered the lamb vindaloo, aloo gobi, Malai Chicken Kabab and some garlic naan. All were so flavorful, perfectly cooked - especially the Malai Chicken Kabab which was so tender. Needless to say we ordered more than enough and took about half home. The service was very attentive with the owner coming by several times to our table. We will definitely be returning for both eat in and takeout to try the many other entrees they offer. One last thing, the prices were very reasonable! read more

I usually do not like to give poor rating to a small business ,however this one was an exception.Ordered a aloo gobhi bowl that comes with naan / rice and another chicken tikka masala bowl.As someone from India ,I know when I taste decent Indian food.The aloo gobhi had no salt or any flavor and naan was basically frozen naan that had been reheated.The chef was Mexican and not Indian.Nothing wrong with a Mexican chef but he needs better training on making Indian food.We ended up throwing away the chicken bowl.I would be surprised if this restaurant survives unless they train the existing cook or get a new one.With that said will never visit this restaurant again.If you crave India cuisine just go to the Essence redefined the Indian food which is not that far from this restaurant. read more

We also often take home a Mixed Tandoori Grill platter, which combines many tasty kinds of meat, and goes a long way!)

$20 All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet?! Ummm.... Yes please!! I came here for lunch today with friends,…read moreand had no idea there was such an amazing buffet. I only wish I was 20 years younger so I could have splurged even more. Everything was so delicious. I especially loved the fresh, hot naan they brought to our table, perfect for dipping in all the dishes. My personal favorites were the chicken tikka masala, the karami paneer, the chicken pasanda, and the chicken tikka. There Walter a lot of vegetarian options as well. I enjoyed the buffet so much that I sent my teenagers to go have lunch right after I got home. We will definitely be back!

I instantly felt like I was back in my country the moment I got out of my car -- the location and…read morevibe at Masala Place made that feeling immediate and real. We arrived around 8 PM and were welcomed with the same warm, energetic greeting you'd expect at opening time. Kumar, a young host, was absolutely the friendliest -- such a pleasant start to the evening. We ordered a bunch of dishes: veg fried rice (delicious), dal makhani (yum), jeera rice, a vegetable curry, garlic naan, pakodas (yum), chai, and mango lassi. But the standout was the veg chowmein -- it was bomb. It became everyone's favorite instantly and was the first dish cleared from the table. We even met one of the cooks who was super sweet. Bless you guys for being so amazing. This is seriously some of the best food around -- I'll definitely be back for those chowmein. Highly recommend!

Their popular items like the chicken tikka and tandoori chicken were already running low. They maybe refilled only once while we were seated and we probably would've eaten more if they refilled more frequently. Their naan is made fresh to order and you can choose between regular, butter, or garlic. I recommend the garlic naan! Chai tea is also included but you have to ask for it. Parking is free as well. Overall, worth trying and would probably go earlier than later when the food is full and fresh!

Everything was really clean and beautiful! I went for the $18.99 lunch buffet, and everything was fresh and delicious. They had many popular dishes, such as Vindaloo, Tika Masala, and even Goat Curry. The buffet specials rotate daily. The buffet is available seven days a week from 11 AM - 3 PM. They also have a to-go option; I think it's around $21. This is the new owner's first time owning a restaurant; it's been their dream. Congratulations to them! During the transition, they closed the restaurant for about 10 days to completely transform the space, and they did all the work themselves!

We've visited Methi multiple times now, and it has quickly become one of our favorite Indian restaurants. Every visit is consistently excellent and I love telling friends about this spot! One of the things that keeps us coming back is definitely the owner, who is always incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely happy to see his guests. That kind of hospitality makes the experience feel special every time. The food is top-notch and easily among some of the best Indian cuisine we've come across. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing, making the prices feel like an even better value. The garlic naan is an absolute must-order...fresh, flavorful, and packed with herbs and great for dipping. The Indian salad is unique, refreshing, and a great complement to the richer dishes. The tikka masala hits the spot every single time and never disappoints. And if you're a fan of mango lassi, theirs is just perfect...thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Like I fear if they offered free refills, I would've drank them dry lol. The restaurant itself is also very charming. It's on the smaller side, but that's part of what makes it feel so inviting and cozy. If you're looking for great Indian food, generous portions, fair prices, and warm hospitality, Methi is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back again and again! read more

Amazing quality and delicious! I've become a regular here and I have yet to be dissatisfied with the food! My go-to is the lamb tikka masala as well as the pani puri. The workers are very nice and welcoming! I had also tried the mango lassi and it is my favourite drink on the menu! 10/10 recommend if you're in the area. read more
