It's been 13 years, so I thought to update, after we were terribly disappointed elsewhere. In short, we were pleased. We ordered aloo tikka, a new appetizer for us. I also got the vegetarian lentil soup. Both were solid, if not spectacular. I liked the chutney presentation, which also came with raita, which The Wife needed. She ordered the navratan vegetable korma, while I got the aloo gobhi. She can be finicky with her korma, but this definitely passed muster. I liked my medium spicy aloo gobhi very much, although The Wife noticed some kind of spice she didn't care for. Oh well. I also got a glass of Chardonnay, a nice sized pour. Finally, we both had chai tea, while I got the gulab jamun. Everything came out fresh and piping hot, perhaps because there was maybe one other customer. I wish the place was warmer. They seated us initially by a window, and we asked to move. Maybe insulate the windows? Service was quick, prices were reasonable, so this will be our go-to for Indian dinner, likely.

BEST INDIAN FOOD EVER. Portions are great for sharing. The chicken tikka masala + white rice + garlic naan goes crazy. The place was clean and the staff were very nice.

I havent dined out for indian food before, so this was my first experience. Upon coming here, there are some parking spots available behind the restaurant. The restaurant is small, and a little dark. Service was standard and they checked up on us twice. The menu can be overwhelming, but we ended up getting the mango chicken tikka masala, regular chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, leg quaters, chicken biriyani, and bread basket (naan). I wished the entrees came with rice or naan but you need to order that seperately. Food was average, and I liked how they ask for the spice level. I got the mango one with medium spice and it wasn't bad. We all agreed that the mango one tastes better than the regular chicken tikka masala.

The food was tasty. It was busy on the weekend so it took some time to get our order however I will say that the food was worth the wait.

Been searching for a new fave indian restaurant in the Bay Area and found this little gem! It is a small restaurant in downtown Pleasanton with a small parking lot (fills up quickly so may need street parking). Super cute, cozy and clean inside. As for the food, ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Curry, Chicken Biryani, Garlic Naan and Pakora. Everything had great flavor and a great amount of spice. Overall, a very solid experience and is def in the running for my new fav Indian spot!

Aloo Gobi was good although a little fiery. Samosas were fresh. We ordered pickup and it was ready on time. Recommended.
Kathleen G.
Don't let the simple exterior fool you. The food here is wonderful and the service was great! We had the butter chicken, vegetable fritters, rice and two types of naan (butter and garlic). I did not want to stop eating, but the feeling that I might explode prevented me from continuing on. The fritters came with three types of dips. They had a kick to them, but were unique and tasty. The naan had a nice chew and were so good. The star of the show was the butter chicken, though. Everything was flavorful and delicious.
Priscilla R.
Ordered delivery via a delivery app. I got an order of chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. The tikka masala was delicious. Perfectly spiced and plenty of chicken. The garlic naan actually tasted garlicky and was nice and chewy. Not as fluffy as other places but delish all the same. The mango lassi was my only let down. It was good but lacked that refreshing mango flavor. I'd order again but would skip the mango lassi.
Debbie W.
great food. Staff was attentive and food was served timely and fresh. Cute little hidden gem.

The best Indian food! I looked at the reviews then I chose to go! Definitely it was like I was expecting! 10 out of 10. The service was so good! People really kind! And the ambiance I felt like in some house in India. DEFINITELY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Came back here for dine-in after a long time away. It's a bummer to find that the buffet is gone (after Covid) and not coming back. But the food was still outstanding. An appetizer and a main dish to share was perfect. I highly recommend coming here for Indian in Pleasanton.

I have been looking for a nice NorthIndian Food place where butter Chicken was Not sweet in the EastBay area. Finally Found it great Job Paaji and Mataji running this place. Spick and span small home like setup amazing Food have to try everything one by one but for Now Malai Kofta, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Seekh Kebab Mutton. Only Feedback the seeks can use less Whole Coriander seeds and little more Black Cardamom for the earthy taste is all. Super amazing go try fellas

The best Indian food, hands down. best samosas. good service, friendly, charming ambiance
Teri H.
I did takeout, so I can't attest to the in-person dining experience, but I can say that the restaurant was full when i picked up my food. Every dish was great. We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala, Baingan Bartha, Palak Paneer, plain rice, and Gobi Manchurian. The Gobi Manchurian was a new dish for us. It consists of deep fried cauliflower topped with a sweet and spicy sauce. It was delicious, even though not as crispy as it would have been if eaten at the restaurant. We will definitely return.
Alexis M.
Super tiny, family run restaurant with absolutely amazing food! OMG I'm still thinking of how amazing everything was! Absolutely terrific service. We came in with a group of 8 (called in advance) and honestly took up 1/2 the restaurant but they were so gracious and helpful and even talked me through my gluten and nut allergies, even if they thought I was crazy
Sumedh M.
Hands down - the best authentic North Indian food around! The food is consistently delicious and perfect - I've been coming here for over 8 years now. Small, family owned joint ran by genuinely kind people. Service is spot on. Highly rated doesn't quite capture her much I recommend this restaurant to others. Give them a try - you will not regret it! Enjoy.

The service was very good. Food was amazing. The chilli chicken was delicious, nice and smoky. Highlight was South Indian lamb curry 🤤. Naan was fluffy, crispy, not much oily 😋. Overall we had a good experience and looking forward to coming again in the future.
Genius Kids
Amazing if you seek total home made cooking - and very accommodating. We came in at 9 pm after a show and despite the fact they close at 9:30 pm, they set up an entire room upstairs for the group and we had the best food!

Kshitija Kulkarni
Mango lassi is made from Alphonso Mango and tastes absolutely delicious! Highly recommend it. The Chole Bhature was okay; not the best I’ve had. Update: I had the paneer and naan; it was incredible! Love this place for the taste and quality.
Sandip Bhattacharjee
We had dinner recently and ordered chicken kebab, chicken biriyani, bread baskets, saag paneer, paneer butter masala and chicken korma. The food and the service was excellent.

My go-to in Pleasanton for Indian food. I've tried a lot of the local competitors, but India Garden always seems to have better food, so I keep coming back.

We visited the restaurant on a Saturday evening with our two toddlers, and had the best Indian meal we've eaten in a long time! The food was fresh and delicious, with big portions. The venue was clean and the staff friendly. We will definitely visit again!

Small setup but tasty food
Neeraj Nema
I visited India Garden in Pleasanton for lunch at 2:30 PM. The food was excellent; I ordered vegetarian dishes. The service was prompt, and the staff was attentive. They offer a wide variety of options for both vegetarians and non-vegetarians. Note that the parking area is small, so plan accordingly. Overall, I had a very positive experience.

De casualidad alguien recuerda el nombre del restaurant francés que estaba antes en este lugar??
Tyler AlexanderLai
It was great, the guy was super friendly. They have very active customer service. He came to my table probably 11 times over the 40ish minutes we ate. The Goat briyani was so good. A must try, although, the atmosphere could have been a little better. From the outside it's super cute, but when you go in it's a bit lack luster. They had Indian rap which was definitely intresting but the portions were great!

Excellent food. They didn't tell me this at first but there's an "extra spicy" option available that's incredible if you like heat. The palak, mughlai kadhai, baingan bhartha, and fish pakoda are all phenomenal. Haven't had a bad meal here once.
Val Kotelnikov
Very tasty food
