I finally got to New India - wow! Their garlic naan is so light and the raita (yogurt) with the mint and mini pani-puri balls was just the thing to help cool the heat of the daal (for my tastebuds). I had their lunch special, which I ate about half of, so dinner tonight or lunch tomorrow for the rest! read more

A Pocket of Home in Martinez. Fresh flavors and a Sweet Welcome From the moment you step in, you're greeted by the owner, the sweetest lady, who makes you feel like a welcome guest in her home. In a small-town spot like Martinez, that personal touch goes a long way, and this little restaurant nails it. The food is consistently fresh and flavorful. You can tell ingredients are thoughtfully sourced and prepared with care. The garlic naan is to die for; soft, garlicky, and perfectly charred. The tandoori chicken is equally standout: juicy, smoky, and nicely spiced without being overwhelmed by heat. Even if you're not vegetarian, the veggie dishes are wonderfully satisfying and bright with flavor. It's clear the kitchen has a talent for balancing spices and textures to please a wide range of palates. If you're craving a comforting yet elevated Indian meal in a welcoming, intimate setting, this is the place to go. You won't be disappointed. read more

DO NOT MISS THIS NEW GEM! Martinez has been in need of a good Indian restaurant for a long time and not only is New India good, but it's OUTSTANDING. I've had a lot of Indian cuisine and their dishes are flavorful, healthy, and fresh. The service is lovely and kind. We're absolutely spoiled that New India is practically in our neighborhood. I hope they are beloved by the community enough to stay for the long haul. Now, what about the food? We tried our favorite take-out staples: Lamb Biryani, Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Palak Paneer, and Garlic Naan. The Lamb Biryani was flavorful and fluffed with veggies and spices and a nice balance of fat without being too greasy. Tandoori Chicken was moist and balanced, flavorful down to the last shred. Garlic Naan was perfectly garlicky and toasted without too much ghee or oil - just right! The Palak Paneer was a real treat - classic spinach flavor with the right amount of spices and firm, delicious chunks of paneer (cheese). My husband ate his indulgent Butter Chicken before I could try any, so take that as a compliment. He usually has sauce left over, but not this time! Plan a visit if you're open to Indian food, and if you've never tried it, this is an excellent place and time to check that off your list. I predict New India will be the new jewel in your take-out or dine-in rotation! read more

Nice folks. The food was very fresh and tasty. Limited space for seating. Give them a try!

First off, I called in my order and totally got side tracked and realized they had already closed, so I called them and the owner Navi or Avi answered and said, no problem we still have your order if you still want it you can come pick it up. So I sped on down and picked it up. Upon arriving I met Navi and immediately apologized again and thanked him for allowing me to grab my food after closing hours. Now, onto the food. I ordered your standard butter chicken and garlic naan. The butter chicken was delicious. It was rich, creamy and velvety. They even threw in extra chicken at no additional charge. The garlic naan was soft, bubbly and buttery. Oh, and Navi even gave me a free mango lassi! Such a cool guy. I will definitely be going back again and trying everything else on the menu. The interior is small, maybe a dozen tables, but I wasn't expecting much because I use to go there when it was Acme Express. I'm so glad we finally have a good Indian restaurant nearby. Thanks again Navi! We will be visiting again soon. read more

Very disappointed in the food this time! The chicken was very chewy and dry. Not what I was expecting. When they first opened I couldn't get enough. I can no longer refer my friends and customers to this place. read more

We did a fairly large catering order with them and the experience went smoothly, and the food was very good! Our guests were very complimentary about the food. Nicely packed in sealed trays, and helped to my car for transport. Highly recommended! read more

Martinez had no Indian Restaurant...until now! We had dinner in the restaurant and met one of the lovely owners. The food was amazing. The level of spice was perfectly balanced. I believe the default is medium and I thought it was perfect and I heard others order the spice level they wanted. Everything was piping hot! They have a tandoori oven, so the Nann was cooked to perfection. We started with Aloo Tikka Chaat, then for mains we had Chicken Boti Kabob, basmati rice and Lamb Sagg. Husband ordered a Mango Lassi. Normally I don't like them, but this one was so good, and not too sweet. We over ordered for just the two of us, but now I have lunch! Everyone walking in, including us, told them how beyond excited we were that Martinez has an Indian restaurant. Our new favorite restaurant in Martinez! read more

Wow... New India restaurant is great. My buddy and I had dinner last night there and it was delicious. I had the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and chicken tikka. I highly recommend everything I ate. The stand out was the Chicken Tikka. It was so flavorful, cooked perfectly, and the portion size was perfect. I will definitely go back. Staff was super nice and friendly. Good service and clean. read more

We've ordered takeout here a few times, and it's been a bit hit or miss. When it's on, the food is really good and definitely worth coming back for. When it's off, it's just okay. That said, the staff is always friendly, and our orders are consistently ready incredibly fast. read more

Once in awhile you try a new place and it's good enough that you question the wisdom of a five-star review that could help drive more people to a place you now kind of want to keep to yourself, but that would be short sighted. This is one of those places, and for the sake of their long term success and the thriving of a restaurant that fills a gap in our local cuisine range, I hope all of you go. Right now. Today. I live in Martinez and my favorite restaurants for this kind of food are in Vacaville and Walnut Creek, but this is as good or better than those places. The fact that I can now get Indian food this fresh and tasty in 5 minutes is not great for my wallet or waistline, but I'm tickled nonetheless. Well done New India! read more

The food is outstanding! We eat Indian food pretty regularly, usually twice a month or so, and this just became my new favorite spot. Highly recommend getting a chaat, we had the samosa chaat and the chutney is the best I have ever had. The spice level was just right and the dish was flavorful & fresh. The Shahi paneer was also amazing, the creamy tomato sauce was perfection. Everything we had was great, I am already looking forward to going back. read more

We didn't feel like cooking tonight and wanted something different. Had seen new India but how good could a little hole in the wall like this be. Well really good. I now have a new favorite place to go to close to home. We just ordered for pickup the curry chicken and butter chicken and boti chicken Kabobs were all perfect the Nan was good got a side of rice. Our first time there but it definitely won't be the last. read more

Surprised at the reviews and 5 stars, because as much as I wanted to love this place, it just wasn't good. The rice was dry or undercooked and the masala sauces just didn't have that impact on your tongue as good curry usually does. It was literally just OKAY. I'm a huge fan of Indian food and was excited to hear that one was finally coming to Martinez! For the same price as a lunch combo, I can get all you can eat at Swagat and Mehran which is much better IMO. read more

Finally, Martinez has an Indian restaurant that I can't wait to visit again! I recently had lunch from New India, and the food was absolutely amazing. I ordered the Chicken Boti, Garlic Naan, and Fish Pakora, and every dish was outstanding. The fish was moist and perfectly cooked, the chicken was tender, flavorful, and full of authentic spices, and the garlic naan was fresh, soft, and perfectly made. What impressed me most was that everything was flavorful without being heavy or greasy. The quality of the food really stood out. As someone who loves Indian cuisine, I can honestly say this is a restaurant I'll return to again and again. The service was just as wonderful as the food. I was greeted with kindness from the moment I walked in to pick up my food and I think she may have been the owner but she was lovely and made me feel genuinely welcome. I truly hope they continue providing the same excellent food and service because Martinez has gained a real gem. If you're looking for delicious Indian food, I highly recommend giving New India a try! read more

Yes food was yummy and tasted authentic. We had the butter chicken, tikka masala, naan and rice. Thought the serving of rice was a bit small but its not bad. read more

Loved this place! So happy to happy to have an Indian resturant in Martinez They had the most tender chicken ever it was amazing. Good sized portions. Perfect for one or get a couple entrees and share. Staff is super kind and welcoming. Will definitely be coming here more often. read more

Unfortunately, this didn't live up to the ratings. The chicken tikka masala was disappointing--the chicken tasted rubbery and had the texture of frozen, reheated meat. The sauce lacked spice depth and tasted more like creamy tomato soup than a proper tikka masala. The naan was also chewy rather than soft and fluffy. We were excited to try this place but left disappointed. read more

Stopped in for dinner after hearing so many great things, and New India definitely did not disappoint. The food was excellent, with a good variety of options, especially for vegetarians. The customer service was also pretty outstanding. Looking forward to coming back to try more items! read more

We ordered chicken tikka masala, Chana masala, panang paneer and garlic naan. My husband was in heaven, loved every bite. Very excited to add this place to our takeout rotation. read more

Nice to have local Indian restaurant. The food was very fresh and tasty. The couple running it were very attentive and welcoming. Definitely will be my go to place. read more

Their food here is excellent. I love Indian food and it always taste good! The Lamb and goat dishes, way overpriced. I can get Lamb Vinderloo for $15 and their rice for $3.50 at Anarkali in Concord. they charge $18.95 for their lamb Vinderloo. $19 for one entrée is not in my budget too bad because it's real close to my house. If you want inexpensive Indian Food go to Concord. read more
