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.

Love Indian Buffets and I miss the Favorite Indian restaurant in San Ramon. I was excited to try…read morethis location especially when I read they offered fresh grilled meats that came around to the tables. I was impressed by the buffet offerings and spacious nice interior. The fresh grilled meats served table side is a nice idea but poorly executed. There weren't very many and it kept running out by the time it reached our table. The lamb was good but the grilled chicken kebabs were dry. My favorite buffet offerings were all the veggies plus the tandoori chicken and naan. The zucchini, cauliflower and chickpea dishes were delicious. The tandoori chicken was fresh and cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the meat curries were bland for me with little spice and heat. Plus the chicken in all the curries were very dry. I'm happy I tried it but not sure I'd come back.

Great food and great Service. I'll start with our server, Santos. If you have any kind of dietary…read morerestrictions. Santos is well versed and can give you specific recommendations as well as to let you know how it would be prepared. Our group was blown away by this. Personally, I had the Vegetable Nepali Thali, medium spicy. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I'd order it again and maybe try some meat the next time. Will I be back? You damn right, I AM! Parking is sometimes limited right in front of the restaurant, but there is plenty of parking real close by. You got Parking lot 4 on B Street and the Cinemark parking garage nearby on Foothill blvd.

We ordered the chicken mono, matar panner, and lamb vindaloo. Everything was delicious! The naan and paratha was 10/10 and honestly could have passed on the roti. It was more like a tortilla & wasn't a huge fan.

Flavor of India is my favorite spot for a weekend buffet. If you're looking for a chance to try a…read morevariety of Indian dishes without committing to just one entrée, this is a great option. The buffet is available on weekends (I believe from 11 AM to 2 PM) and offers a nice selection of flavorful dishes, along with free drinks! You can also order items from the regular menu that aren't included in the buffet. I ordered samosas to compliment the meal I was having with my brother, and they were delicious. The staff is friendly and attentive, and they do a great job keeping the buffet stocked. Whenever a tray started running low, fresh food appeared almost immediately. That attention to detail made the experience feel well-managed and welcoming. The atmosphere is another plus. The newer buffet area gives the restaurant a unique feel, but traditional indoor seating is also available if you prefer. Overall, Flavor of India offers a great combination of variety, service, and atmosphere.

We all ordered our own entrees but we also all ordered rice (oops) there's enough rice for at least 2 people. We also shared some plain naan. And don't skip the mango lassi. We were going to do dessert but we were all stuffed! I wish I had more reasons to come to San Lorenzo so I can eat here more often. Big parking lot - cleanest restaurant bathroom I've seen in ages. Nice family run staff.

Uber eats gave a "buy one get one free" for curry chicken. It's was $18, but then when I went to order it and the cart automatically gave me 2, and I added $3.40 for a side of rice, the cart updated to $25! The math did not work out, but I ordered it anyway. Then it arrived with no rice! That was a mistake, and I'm ok with that...mistakes happen. But what I'm not ok with, they just took one chicken curry dinner and split it into 2, for the "buy one get one free"! I always eat about half what they give and the rest for leftovers, so I know their portion sizes. It was such a rip off! I paid more for less...just so wrong.

I've been coming to Moon Indian Cuisine in Hayward since I was 17, and now I'm 29 -- that alone…read moresays a lot about how amazing this place is. 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!

Came here during lunch time with the bf because he keeps mentioning this place and how he likes…read moretheir mango lassi and butter chicken. 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. I ordered bhatura (two large crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside fried breads per order), butter chicken, lamb tikka masala, fish pakora, aloo gobi, mushroom masala - and it was all fantastic. Spice levels as requested, hot (temperature-wise), and it was gobbled up by my family of very picky eaters (not an easy bunch to feed). 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.

Yes they're located in the mall but honestly for the amount of food vs the price, really can't beat it vs other options in the area Side note - this combo was also the last meal I ate before going into labor with my son so it got the job done.
