Found my go-to place for Indian food in the peninsula (I've been disappointed by SO many other spots). Stopped by today to get a takeout order. Saag paneer is my go-to, so ordered that, lamb curry, butter naan, and paratha, all medium spicy. The guy who took my order was really friendly. Got home, tore into the containers because the food smelled so good, and...it was excellent! Good portions, spice level was perfect. Definitely coming back to try other stuff! read more

It's been about 3 years. Just updating my review to say that we've been loyal customers of Sugandh since my first review. We ordered take out from them yesterday on Valentine's Day and everything was so delicious and fresh. Their quality of food has been consistently good. read more

I love coming here! The place is spacious, with a big bar right in the middle. The food is delicious, packed with flavor, and served in generous portions. Even the plates are huge. The staff are all friendly, though you may have to wait a bit for the food depending on how busy it gets, but it's definitely worth it. You'll leave feeling full -- I had to walk off the food afterward and ended up strolling around a few blocks. read more

Absolutely disgusting experience. My order arrived with half of the naan looking like it had already been eaten or tampered with, and one piece of samosa was missing. This is completely unacceptable and raises serious concerns about food safety, hygiene, and how this restaurant handles customer orders. I paid for fresh, complete food -- not something that looks touched or partially eaten. I will not be ordering from this place again unless they take food safety and order accuracy seriously. When i called restaurant about this issue they hang up on me. read more

A restaurant serving South and North Indian food along with Nepali food. I would have never guessed that the food would be this good. We were in a large group and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the food. I was a little wary when I went in since the guy at the front seemed brusque. Thankfully, our waiter (long hair) was awesome. Very friendly and helped us through our order and checked up on us multiple times. He shared that the cook and owner had been to India to learn the different cuisines. It clearly showed. They do a great job. Note that street parking in the front is challenging but they have a large lot in the back. read more

We finally got a chance to try Sugandh even though we are always in that neighborhood. Chicken Vindaloo and Saag Aloo are our go to dishes and they did not disappoint. We tried the medium spicy and was perfect for us. They do their Vindaloo their own way but we enjoyed it. I think it was what they used to get it spicy was different. The saag was less creamy as we are used to but good. Their naan was excellent and fresh. Service was great and ambiance was fine. Aside from screaming kids which was out of their control. Not a place for romantic vibe if that is what your after. read more

After having many wonderful meals here, we had an ok meal here. The chef must have changed. We often order the same items: chicken korma, butter chicken, lamb biryani and butter nan. This time we also had chicken momoes. The three chicken dishes were very good. The lamb biryani had meat that lacked flavor and there was less meat. The ingredients have also changed and I had hives after eating it. The butter nan was only two halves. Disappointing because this was my favorite for Indian food. We will try another day and hope it was just a temporary chef change. read more

Wow. I've been trying all sorts of Indian restaurants and this one is my new favorite. Aloo paratha - BEST I've ever had Garlic naan - good, but not memorable Paneer tikka masala - hmm it was a bit bland and needed more spice. The texture was nice. The sauce reminded me of a vodka sauce Dal makhani - HELL YEAH. I get this dish whenever it is available at any restaurant and this version is delicious. I rationed the leftovers. Raita and pickles - good and huge portions I will say they should have better openers--the doors didn't open on time and there were still chairs stacked on top of tables when I entered read more

Beautiful restaurant with great variety of options, with all Your favorites. We were greeted and seated right away and had their samosas, butter chicken, spinach with garbanzos and garlic naan. The butter chicken was so tender and the sauce perfect with spice and cream. Great for dipping the naan breads, which were these impressive long strips of buttered and sprinkled garlic breads. The spinach dish rounded it all out with just the right spices and tender garbanzos. This was a great place to eat dinner when you are craving Indian flavors. Lots to choose from and service was quick! read more

Came by on a Saturday night to grab some dinner to go. The tikka masala and chick pea dishes were good, but not spicy enough for me. Note to self: get the highest level of spicy! The star was the lamb briyani :) thank you! read more

This is my favorite Indian/Nepalese restaurant in the Bay Area. The menu is maybe a bit ambitious in that there are Southern and Northern Indian dishes as well as a host of Nepalese ones. But all of them are solid, with the Northern Indian and Nepalese dishes really standing out. Some standout dishes: * Goat curry--get this one as spicy as you can handle it and you won't be disappointed. * Choila--do not skip this! The lamb is unbelievably good and the flavors are so unique. * Any of the momos, but personally I like the vegetable one best. * Onion chili tomato uttapam * Tandoori chicken and lamb. I usually hate this dish because most restaurants dry out the meat, but Sugandh always serves up a moist, tender, and delicious tandoori meat. It's amazing. * Malai kofta. Theirs is maybe a little on the sweet side, but it's still great. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. This is truly a wonderful place to bring a family. They've also got a full bar, and the pours tend to be very stiff. They also have a variety of beers including Nepalese beers. The only drawback is the physical restaurant is old and a bit run down, but it's kept clean. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! read more

My samosa was still frozen in the middle...which means that it was most likely not made in house and not cooked well. The Old Fashioned cocktail I ordered was so rough I couldn't drink it. The three dips that came with the papadam were unpleasant-the mint dip was watered down, the brown sauce was overly sweet, and the "spicy sauce" was just sriracha sauce... The chicken tikka masala was decent, but the korma tasted like beef stroganoff. We also had to ask for the check three times before it was brought to us. After such a disappointing meal, waiting so long to be able to leave, especially with a giant, loud, TV dominating the space, was beyond irritating. read more

Wow! Was s fantastic meal all around. Went with two Indians, got medium spice, and it was perfect. I went mixed vegetables korma and was quite happy. Others were happy with their neat options. Would recommend! Seating was simple and service effective. read more

Food was delicious. Servers were welcoming and seems like a place that has plenty of locals. Hands down out of the items we ordered the chicken breast served on a sizzling platter was so flavorful, even the onions on the bottom were so delicious. I'm not sure when I will return but when I'm in the area I will for sure be back! Was my first time trying the shrimp korma and omg that was so bomb. The curry was on point and a 10 out of 10 must try again lol. I'll be back! read more

Food was different from most "Indian" restaurants. It may be on the top 1 or 2 of any I have tried. It is authentic and larger than average portions from most other Indian restaurants. Quality extremely high. Service was very good. Never had a less than very satisfying meal in the dozens of visits there. The pricing was extremely reasonable ( again in contrast to most Indian restaurants, or any other restaurants ). read more

Very solid Indian restaurant with some Nepalese items like Momo's on the menu. For me I have not had Indian for awhile and started with papadums and samosa's, with various chutney offerings. In reviewing the menu the Street Curry sounded different and gave it a try with chicken. It was very good and will for sure have again. My only complaint was service as they were not busy but seemed to do a lot of take out business. They are open late and by the airport so Sugandh is a great option if you need a late dinner. I will be back read more

This is an excellent restaurant with great staff. The chicken momos were absolutely incredible I actually enjoyed them more than the curries. Papadum is complimentary if you ask for it, which is a nice touch. This is definitely a spot worth checking out, and I'll be returning for sure. Parking is decent, but it can be a bit challenging during peak hours. I'd recommend the chicken momos! read more

Reasonable prices because they give you a lot of meat in each meat dish! As in they could give you less and I'd be happy. Great service which is a nice plus. Really made us feel welcome. The space is large and they have a cool bar, neat artwork, and multiple TVs playing sports games. There's two main rooms for seating and there were Indian people so it's authentic. Lamb biryani is a must-get--also recommend the chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, saag gosh, and naan. They're open late until 11:45pm, have an extensive bar and alcohol selection, and do a pretty good takeout business. Lots of parking in the back. read more

Sad I haven't reviewed this place sooner. Hands down our favorite Indian delivery spot. We order a few of the same dishes each time because they're so good: chicken tikka masala, lamb curry, garlic naan, and rice. It always hits the spot. Their saag paneer is solid too. The flavor profile is delicious and the lamb is always cooked really well. If you're craving Indian food that's flavorful, I'd definitely recommend this place. read more

I've lived in Millbrae for 5 years now and never knew this place was here! Went for a stroll through downtown to see what options I had for dinner and ended up walking into Sugandh. The place looks fairly new. Nice clean floors. Decorated well with nice bench seats across the wall as well as chairs with backings across the table. I was greeted upon entering and welcomed to take any available table. I sat down and immediately ordered appetizers. Samosas, naan, raita and the tandoori chicken wings. Everything was delicious! Especially the wings! Then for my main course, I ordered rice and the chicken vindaloo. Again, absolutely delicious! I got everything medium spicy as they offer it all mild, medium or spicy. It was the perfect amount of heat in my opinion. Not too spicy but added a little kick to each bite. Washed it all down with a cucumber cilantro margarita which was new to me, and again very delicious. Overall a great first experience here and I'm glad to have this place in my neighborhood. I recommend anyone in the mood for Indian food and in the Millbrae area to come check this place out. read more

On the way for a job interview, hubby and I decided to have a lunch date first before my appointment. We love indian food and been craving for couple of weeks now so we chose this close to the area of our destination. I checked the reviews first and their menu before I made the decision. The place has a nice decor, lots of space and has another huge area in the back. Clean restrooms. Staff are pleasant and very helpful and accommodating. Love their service. On top of it, their food were excellent! Mixed w Nepalese dishes too! Love them as always! We ordered our faves. They have the Dinner set for 2 for (eventhough it was lunchtime, they let us order them) it comes with Papadum that has 3 different dips, Samosas, Tandoori chicken and Boti beef kbab, tikka masala(again they were so accomodating, we replaced it with butter chicken and it was ok. It also includes rice, paneer, nan bread, and a rice pudding for dessert. We just ordered the fish pakora separately to complete the course. They give you options if you like mild, medium or spicy. We requested medium but oh boy... I'm already a spicy-eater and still find it really spicy my nose and hubby's were running lol But they were good though. I also got their Raita(my fave) to neutralize the spicyness. So...Mild would be the best option if you can't take the heat. What we love about this restaurant too is they have a full bar lol Hubby got his favorite whiskey Jamieson Our total came up to $80 plus tax and gratuity = $100. But we had a lot of leftovers for the two of us. So i think it's worth it. 2 more servings for each of us so that totals to 6 meals all in all. $100/6=$16.67 per meal. That's still reasonable. Buying a burger meal nowadays is around $12-15 pp. This is a full meal but healthier version though. Overall, I highly recommend this place. I will come back with my whole family for sure! read more

Wow.. I did not expect to find choila on the menu in Millbrae. As a newar from Nepal, I am very impressed by this lamb choila set. It was served with crispy chiura, traditional potato salad and bara.

3 & 1/2 The service was great and the food was exceptional! "Solrose" (my apologies if I spelt your name wrong!) was our server and there is a great spirit of servant hood amongst the few workers we met and they were kind enough to ask if we liked everything and if everything was ok. Overall superb service! We accompanied our dishes with ginger-ale (excellent accompaniment for any curry-based dish) and mango lassi. We always get Garlic Naan to eat with our curry dishes too. coconut chicken curry was indeed the highlight of the experience with very well balanced in flavor and tenderness of the chicken, with equal feedback from three people who tasted the same dish. Lamb biryani was a tad flavorless but the lamb itself was pleasantly tender. I don't know if we'll get the Lamb biryani again but if we do, we'll probably order it with some more spice next time. Chicken biryani was good as well with pleasant tenderness. For these two dishes (chicken & lamb biryani) we expected a bit more flavor so we requested mild spiciness but next time, we'll get the next level up. And to top it off, we ordered a cup of Chai tea. It was very flavorful and delightful to end the meal with as an after taste of the experience. The ambiance could use some work. Upon walking in, we didn't see much indication that this restaurant was "Indian cuisine" and we ended up questioning upon entrance of this place if we were at the right restaurant. It would be nice if the workers dressed more professional. Overall, great experience, very chill energy, and good food. read more

I came in on a Thursday evening at 7 pm with a large group of 15. The restaurant is huge with separate dining areas. The Tandoori mix was a lot of food. The order came with lamb, chicken and salmon. The lamb was a little tough but chicken and salmon were pretty good. Definitely would come back to try other items. They provided the lentil thin cracker. They have a bar with a few televisions. The staff were nice and food came out in a quick turnaround. Street parking read more

We were planning to go to another Indian spot, but it was closed so glad we ended up at Sugand Indian Restaurant & Bar instead! The service was amazing.

The food was incredibly flavorful and authentic honestly felt like a 5 star Michelin experience without the crazy price tag. We'll definitely be back! read more

I love Indian food and I love cauliflower. I always try a new restaurant's aloo gobi which is cauliflower and potato. I didn't order rice or Naan and it was still such a good meal. I ordered it medium spicy and my mouth is on a good fire. I also ordered a samosa, which is pea and potato. It comes with mint chutney and tamarind sauce. I liked the freshness the chutney gave to the fried samosa. Wow, what's that seasoning sprinkled on the samosa, I love it! The packaging for take out kept the samosas crispy (left the paper box open). The aloo gobi came in a cup container. No utensils were given to me, but maybe I was supposed to request it since it's the new plastic utensil law. read more

The vegetable tikka masala was extremely tasty as is the coconut curry. The Naan with green chili is spicy! Love it. Looking forward to visiting in person eventually The Damage: Reasonably priced and good portions read more

Came for Mother's Day dinner. I don't eat Indian food often but this was very good. This place is clean, many tables available, a bar is in the front of the restaurant. Considering it was Mother's Day, it was not busy? We ordered Calamari Pakora, Coconut Vegetable Curry, Bhindi Masala, Lamb Shank, Butter Chicken Masala, Chicken Bharta, Assorted Naan Bread, and Basmati Rice. All dishes are offered milk, medium or hot. We ordered all our dishes medium. Although the dishes sort of all looked the same, the sauces were all different in taste. They were all very delicious. Sugandh has great service, attentive wait staff, and nice atmosphere. We enjoyed all the dishes. The Calamari appetizer dish was okay but very small (maybe 8 pieces of calamari) for the price; that was maybe my only disappointed dish (didn't get a picture of this)! read more
