Absolute Perfection! The Best Indian Food I've Ever Had. If I could give this place 10 stars, I would. I've tried Indian restaurants all over, but this meal was on an entirely different level. From the moment we walked in, the hospitality was incredibly warm and welcoming. But the food? Absolute magic. Here is what blew me away: The Curries: Rich, deeply layered with flavor, and complex. You can tell the spices are freshly ground and simmered with serious care--not just tossed together. The Naan: Perfectly pillowy, hot, and possessed that flawless slight char from the tandoor. The Balance: Often, places either compromise on flavor or overdo the heat. Here, the spice level was exactly what I asked for, without sacrificing the intricate taste of the dish. Ambiance is modern read more

Came here for a Friday lunch with coworkers and was surprised that it wasn't busy. We were seated right away, which is always a plus. The service was a bit on the slower side, but the staff was friendly and welcoming throughout our visit. One thing I really appreciated was that all of our food came out at the same time- such a small detail, but it makes a big difference when dining in a group! I ordered the Sanskrit Butter Masala with chicken along with garlic naan. Overall, the food was really good! The rice was slightly on the dry side, but pairing it with the creamy butter masala balanced it out well. The real standout for me, though, was the garlic naan. It was so flavorful, soft, and honestly the highlight of the meal. I'd definitely come back just for that! read more

Stopped in for the Sacramento Vegan Chef Challenge and was delighted to see that they have a regular vegan menu as well. So we feasted and dined outside with Gunner W at our feet, enjoying an early dinner on a fall evening after attending a nearby event. We started with the Seaweed Tofu Tikka Roll from the Vegan Challenge menu. Think Indian food in sushi roll form. It was creative and pretty good. If I see Gobi Manchurian, which is one of my absolute favorite dishes at an Indian restaurant, I'm ordering it and this one did not disappoint. The cauliflower had kick and was perfectly crispy. We also enjoyed the Baingan Bharata and the Sanskrit Vegan Pahadi curry with rice. Both I would recommend. Service was friendly and accommodating. We were checked on the right amount and Gunner W had plenty of water in his bowl. They also happen to be right next door to Temple Coffee, so I definitely would dine here again when in the area. read more

10/12/25 *Update, our Togo order was missing our chicken tikka. I called the restaurant and they are circling w/the manager to see if they can refund us for the missing entree. Waiting for a call back as we didn't want to drive 20 mins there and 20 mins back again for a missing item* Back to order dinner from Sanskrit for my boys! Garlic Naan, masala dosa, tandoori chicken, butter chicken and chicken tikka! Service is always good and restaurant ambiance is still welcoming. read more

We came here for lunch, and I again ordered my favorite dish, Goat Vindaloo (not on the menu). Oddly, it was quite different from the last time I was here. (I uploaded photos last time, but Yelp isn't displaying them in my review, for some reason. Search photos for 'goat'.) Today's had Vindaloo paste as opposed to a stew, and the meat was tougher chunks of meat (not like usual slow-cooked tender meat that easily comes off a bone). I asked for spicy (i.e., spicier than already spicy vindaloo sauce) and really liked that. My husband had the Veg Pahadi Lunch Combo. The lunch combo came with his entrée, Dal Makhani (I think that's what it was), rice, and bread (he had Tandoori Roti). He said the portions were a bit small, but understandable for the price, and an excellent value. He thought the Pahadi had a nice variety of veggies, and found both it and the Dal Makhani delicious. They have updated their physical menus since my last visit, and they now seem to match what's shown online. Service, as usual, was prompt, efficient, and pleasant. read more

Decent spot for Indian food in Folsom. My friends & I stopped by for dinner - we were seated very quickly, and our service was prompt and attentive. We ordered the Bombay sliders & samosa chaat as our appetizers. Loved the samosa chaat, but felt let down by the flavor and moistness of the Bombay sliders. It didn't feel authentic to what we were expecting. For our mains, we ordered the chana masala and butter paneer with garlic naan and rice. Portions were great! Chana masala was bursting with great flavor, but the paneer had an interesting coconut undertone to it that just didn't taste right. If I could optimize the right menu items to get here, I would definitely come back but otherwise I would recommend trying somewhere else in Folsom for Indian food! read more

We went here for dinner and it was great. Ordered the goat curry, shrimp curry, chicken tikka dosa, and garlic naan bread. We love spicy foods and the medium had the right amount of a mild kick. Our toddlers were able to enjoy it. They had quick service - we didn't need to wait long between ordering and getting our food. Very peaceful restaurant to eat at and nice folks. read more

Amazing food and excellent service! The food was fresh, delicious, and full of flavor. A special thanks to Preet for her warm smile and outstanding customer service. She was very friendly, welcoming, and made sure we had a great experience. Her positive attitude really stood out. I highly recommend this restaurant and will definitely be coming back! read more

This spot is right around the corner from me and honestly, I was impressed with both the quality and the portion sizes. I placed a to go order and when I walked in, it was a little dim inside and very quiet, but the staff was super friendly and my food was ready right on time. I ordered the Andhra Kara dosa, Pahadi kabob chicken, Sanskrit chicken biryani, and the tandoori chicken. Everything was packed with flavor and so good! For the price, the portions are generous and you really get your money's worth. I also appreciate how many sauces they include and how well they pack their to go orders. If you're nearby and want something tasty for dinner or a quick takeout option, definitely check this place out! read more

Sanskrit is our go-to Indian takeout spot. We love their Bombay sliders, tikkas, spinach paneer, and dosas. Their service is always fast!

An all-rounded Indian eatery with great lunch specials and Thali dishes. Get the garlic naan! Setting: Located in the Broadstone marketplace, there is ample parking and room in the restaurant to dine. Service: The service is quick and the staff are kind to answer questions. Food: They have a lunch special during the week with multiple options (including vegetarian). I personally enjoyed the chicken tikka while the others I was dining with got the various Thalis (large plates with multiple different items). read more

Hands down my favorite Indian restaurant in Folsom. I've been coming here for years, the quality of the food and flavor has been consistent and delicious. My favorite is Butter Chicken, Chicken Masala, Mysore Masala Dosa, and Samosas. The chutney for the samosas is amazing and the Sambar for the Dosas is delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant. read more

Good Indian restaurant in Folsom! I ordered for pick up and I got my food when I arrived exactly 30 mins as they said. - Samosa chatt: delicious samosas. The dough was crispy and the peas filling was flavorful. The sauce complemented the samosas very well but I wish that they gave me more. - Aloo gobi: this is a gravy style version. The gravy was very flavorful. There were lots of cauliflower pieces that were perfectly cooked (perfect firmness & not mushy). - Butter chicken: the gravy was good and creamy but I wish that it had bolder flavor. The chicken pieces were tender. read more

I have to say this area has some pretty authentic and yummy Indian restaurants that are top notch. But, Sanskrit is my favorite, hands down! Their lunch specials are reasonable and I lovvveee their palak paneer and butter chicken. The taste is always consistent and perfect. I try to find new places to try, but I always end up thinking, "I should've just went to Sanskrit." So, I think this place will be my staple Indian food for folsom. I shall see you soon my beloved palak paneer with less blocks of cheese. read more

I used to be a regular at this restaurant, wait staff is friendly, but recently the food quality has been really inconsistent. This is the second time receiving food that was served cold - from rice to entrees nothing seemed freshly made. Dal fry I ordered was mostly water...like they were running out or didn't make enough and just decided to fill the takeout container with water instead. Won't be returning. read more

Liked the handsome portion of their Biriyani , which I did a takeout. And the kabobs which I dined in. Service was professional. Ambiance was fine dining. Like the choice of beverages. Mango lemonade was truly a delicacy with its delicate flavor. They have good South Indian snacks like bonda soup. Apart from chaat. The chicken Biriyani came with breast and leg pieces. read more

Ordered the thali and was very disappointed. Cold left overs that was reheated in the microwave. Small portions and nothing tasted fresh.

PORTIONS: generous PRICE: appropriate SERVICE: HIT OR MISS - sometimes they give you a menu sometimes they expect you to order from the QR CODE? Not really sure SURROUNDINGS: cozy FLAVORS: (+ great, ~ ok, x no) ++ Masala Dosa ++ Goat Curry ++ Pav Bhaji Dosa BONUS TIP: Depending on the waiter/waitress, you might need to ask for a menu. They usually have 2 wait staff and one is constantly taking phone orders and getting distracted. read more

Mostly chain restaurants in this area. This spot seemed like a good break from the rest. Upon entering, very classy feel with the decor to the table set up. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and requested for it to be spicy. And it came out spicy. I worked up a little sweat. Definitely a must order. The butter chicken was also solid. Great menu and solid service here. read more

Been wanting to come here for some time. New Year's eve was the date. We called to reserve a table just in case. Came in a nice reserved placard on table. Promptly greeted and friendly service by our female server. They do have wine and beer and some nice choices. Had a Cab and we had a Sierra. Started with appetizer Dosas. Palak Paneer and Tikka Masala. Each item abundant with flavor. Came hot and fresh. And such great satiety. We did get the Yelp complimentary mango lassi however they basically had a tiny portion and offered a soda in lieu. However the mango had a very nice flavor. Will definitely come back. read more

We went for my husband's birthday dinner. We were a big group of about 23 people. We ordered over 36 dishes, and every meal came out piping hot and fast. Ayushi and Preet were meticulous about taking the orders and serving us. It made for a fabulous experience. Definitely going back!!! read more

I'm not going to beat around the bush. This is seriously the best Indian restaurant in the town and the surrounding areas. One of the very few restaurants wherein I felt compelled to call after having their meal to compliment the chef. Sometimes doing a simple dish as Dal(lentil) takes effort and they have nailed it. Their chicken biryani is a biryani and not a pulao. And did I mention the Mumbai sliders. Yes their Gobi can do with a little less tomato but I'm sure they will nail this dish as well. read more

We came here last night to give this new restaurant a try. It's located in a shopping with plenty of parking. It's is recommended to get reservations if you have a large group of friends. This restaurant has veggie, vegan and non-veggie options. We order the Tandoori Pomfret which was so delicious that we ordered a second one. The dosas had good flavor, the chicken tikka masala was A+, the goat curry had some kick it. Garlic naan was good as well. The only item that we didn't like was the goat briyani. The service was awesome and the price was fair. We really enjoyed this place. read more

This is our go to place for Indian food. My wife and I have been here for both lunch and dinner. The food is delicious and the servings are large. We always enjoy the take home leftovers! We have had the dosas, chicken tiki kabobs, Tandori shrimp, smoked eggplant with peas. We can't wait to return any try out their Chicken Bryiani and goat curry! read more

We had the pleasure of dining at Sanskrit again today, and everything about our visit was exceptional - from the very friendly and attentive server to the delicious menu items. We could not believe the size of the thali meals, which include a wide selection of delicious tastes, and an excellent value - a great way to sample their huge menu. Everything is made on-site, so the food was very fresh and absolutely delicious! My favorites were the Kadai Paneer and the Kala Channa Kala Kulambu which were incredibly flavorful with just the right amount of heat. Loved their house-made lemon pickle which is much less salty than commercial jarred pickle, with intense citrusy flavor. The staff is very friendly and helpful; our server was excellent. One of the best Indian restaurants we've ever dined at, and it won't be our last time - we will be back very soon! read more

So glad we happened to find this place after a performance at the Harris Center! The food was really delicious! We ordered the samosa chaat, paneer tikka masala, butter chicken, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. The samosa chaat was probably in my top three in the US - the chana was perfectly spiced. The other two dishes were very close in flavor profile, but different enough to show they weren't scooped from the same pot with the protein just popped in later. The staff was very attentive and checked in regularly to make sure we were pleased. Loved the music and feel of the place. We split a mango lassi for dessert and it was yummy! Why 4 stars you ask? The rice was really broken and small pieces. I prefer longer grain basmati rice. Perhaps it had been ready for awhile, but it just seemed beaten up. Also, the naan was a little too thin for a 5-star review for me. Picky, I know, but I'm trying to be honest. read more

My husband and I went here for the second time last night and both times we've gone everything has been wonderful! We got a little bit of everything and the presentation, the aromas, the flavor, the spice level-everything was on point! Our server was so sweet and attentive. She told us about their sister location which we are looking forward to trying out. Prices were very reasonable as well. We ordered a ton of food and definitely have enough for lunch today without breaking the bank. Best Indian food in Folsom or El Dorado Hills in my opinion. read more

This food is amazing! Tasty, fresh , with great presentation. The portions are very filling and the service is very prompt and professional. I love that it's very family friendly , and boy did our little ones make a little mess. We had so many togo boxes. We've eaten there several times as it's now one of our favorites. Each time they have never let us down . I wasn't sure how I would like Indian food or what to order. They guided me all the way. Mild to very spicy , I now know exist. Spicy is definitely not for me but my husband loves it. So what a perfect fit. If you haven't tried them , you won't regret it! A yummy, X 10 . read more

I found Sanskrit - New Age Indian restaurant in Folsom very close to where I was at the time. They have very high ratings on Yelp reviews. I decided to try them out. It is the right decision again! I miss the restaurant when I drive by in front of it twice because the lighted signs in front of the building are not turned on. I finally stopped my car in front of the building before I saw their A-frame in front of the restaurant. Lol! They have a nice dining room, and the buffet is available at lunchtime. But not at dinner. I ordered Butter Chicken, Curry Goat, Samosa, Garlic Naan, and rice. Everything is delicious. The garlic naan is one of the best I have had recently. However, the rice is not as good as most Indian restaurants. It is too soft and not as tasty as the rice from the other Indian restaurants. But this is not a big deal, because their curries are very yummy! The waitresses at Sanskrit are super attentive and friendly. They are working hard to make sure all their customers have everything they want and ensure they are enjoying their food. read more
