I tried their cholle bhature and sarson ka saag. The food tasted average, but portion sizes were…read morebig. Cholle tasted alright with the bhatura but I wouldn't order them ala carte. They had very little flavor, it tasted like they used canned chickpeas or the chickpeas were boiled a while back and simply heated in a watery sauce before serving. The saag was also a let down, greasy to a point where we couldn't taste anything besides oil. The monthly special rabri was also a let down. Service was poor, staff had be flagged a few times, they never came to check in on anything by and avoided eye contact. We expect better flavors from a Punjabi restaurant. Unfortunately I will not be returning or recommending this place.

The Favorite Indian Restaurant is... not my favorite Indian restaurant. But an Uber Eats…read morebuy-one-get-one deal plus a sudden craving for chilli chicken was apparently enough to get me through the door. We got the chilli chicken, and while it wasn't especially good, it did exactly what I needed it to do in that moment. Craving: handled. The surprise was the chicken curry. Rustic, hearty, comforting, and the kind of dish that feels less like restaurant food and more like something made to actually satisfy you. That one definitely hit the spot. So no, this isn't going on my "best Indian food" list. But when the craving hits and there's a good deal involved? I get it. Sometimes dinner doesn't need to be transcendent. It just needs to show up and do its job. And the food here did just that

Favorite Indian Restaurant, Hayward…read more August 2026 My nephew was craving for Tandoori and Butter chicken so we came here for much. We were served with appetizer called Papadum (Papad) which is are thin, crispy discs made from lentil, chickpea, or rice flour. They are served as an appetizer with mint chutney or tamarind sauce. They were so good! Next we ordered the Tandoori chicken and their lunch specials: Butter chicken, Chicken Vinaloo and Paneer Tikka Masala. All came with naan and side dishes. We also ordered the onion naan too. All the chicken entrees were very tender and fall off the bones. The Chicken Vinaloo was my favorite because of the tender, juicy chicken and the Vinaloo sauce was a tad spicy which I loved! I need to order an entree by itself next time! There was a rice pudding as a side dish they had and it was really good! It used to be plain and bland which I didn't like, now they added sliced almonds, golden raisins and other stuff that made it sweet. Perfect way to end the meal! Services were excellent! The waiter had all our orders correct and he was attentive. Definitely coming back for the weekend when they serve the buffet! Highly recommend this place.

I wasn't sure he'd like it since flavors can be a little different and I don't like chow mein noodles with Indian spices, it just taste weird. I asked our Nepalese waiter lots of questions and he was very sweet. I ordered the Nepalese thali with boneless curry chicken. It was sweeter than traditional Indian curry which I really enjoyed and their side dishes were also delicious. The potatoes were very traditional Indian but the pickles were different . They also had this butter you pour on top of the rice which made it so much richer. I enjoyed every bit of my thali. He ordered the Kashmiri lamb which he totally enjoyed. Also they had complimentary chai, which I love to finish off the meal.

Over the years, the quality and flavor have always stayed consistent. Their butter chicken, curry, biryani rice, and samosas never disappoint, and the jalebi and gulab jamun are some of my favorite desserts ever. The food is always flavorful, comforting, and authentic. The staff has always been welcoming, and it truly feels like a hometown favorite for me. If a restaurant can keep you coming back for over a decade, you know they're doing something right. Highly recommend!

We got the pani puri, the samosas, and we both got their lunch combo. The pani puri was like eating stale tortillas, like they bought the economy pack and will keep using them regardless of freshness. The samosas were good, not really rememberable or better than other Indian food spots. The bf got their butter chicken and the sauce was good. But I don't go to Indian places to get the butter chicken. I actually don't remeber what I got for my lunch combo, but it wasn't anthing to write home about. Pricing was okay given it was the lunch time special pricing. Honestly the atmosphere felt like a family shop where no one wants to work there but it pays the bills. There's a counter filled with unlabeled treats. They looked good but I had no idea what they were. Service was the minimum which doesn't really bother me but some people enjoy it. Felt really cramped filled with tables and people who think they're having an exotic lunch instead of McDonald's. This place is not for me and after I told by bf this he agreed. Kinda hard to find, it's like a blink and you miss it. Parking is sparse, I parked down the street.

Solid authentic Indian food exceeding quality expectations and a veteran in takeout service…read more Phulkari Indian Cuisine is a top choice for us when we are in the area as their food is delicious, made fresh, and packaged well for on the go families like us. We have our favorites from their menu but they host a variety of curries, proteins, and small bites/street eats. Panipuri - crispy balls ready to be loaded up with lentils, delicious fillings and sauces, these mouthfuls are great for starters but you'll find yourself eating these throughout the meal not only because you're hungry but also because you just can't get enough of them. Samosas - hearty fried dumplings packed with potatoes that are perfect for eating on the go. Great by itself or with sauces and curry, these hot pockets are a burst of flavor that will stuff you up. Goat curry - full of flavor and a bit on the spicy end for those sensitive to capsaicin. Pair with naan or rice and you'll be golden, from the tastes you'll be experience as well as the heat! Butter paneer/chicken - the sweetness of the curry is subtle but the creaminess is what will win you over. Smothered over chicken or paneer, this is a delicious palate pleaser. Biryani - solid staple, flavorful and cooked perfectly. Great by itself or paired with some curry or a grilled entree. Salmon - delicious but a bit overcooked for my liking but in a pinch, omega-3s can be supplemented in this meal. Overall, Phulkari satisfies our craving for Indian curry any day and it's great knowing that the experience will consistently be a good one anytime those cravings come up. We haven't had a chance to dine in but would welcome the opportunity to visit for a sit down. For now, they're still our go-to for Indian cuisine when we are in the area. Unsure of where you'll end up settling for food or not having the time or space to cook an elaborate meal packed with flavors and aromas? Phulkari pulls through as the restaurant of choice!

This last time I actually went to the restaurant to pick up my order and it was a nice place, with a convenient adjacent free parking lot and my order was ready to go as promised.

The menu is diverse, meats are halal certified and there are great options for vegans as well. Overall, highly recommended - you won't be disappointed.
