Tried their Lunch Special which was a great deal for an entree + rice & naan for $17 and they were able to replace my rice for another naan! Saag paneer was pretty tasty, naan can be better for sure. I also loved the decorations and ambiance in the restaurant. Service was good.

Today I went with a friend and ordered most dishes gluten free. We started with their gluten free mango lassi . I had an iced chai. I like the hot one more. We ordered a gluten free naan. This is the reason why I am giving this review a 4. It tasted like a toasted corn tortilla, pretty bland. The rest of the food was delish we had rice, vegan entree and the mint chicken kabab was so flavorful. The service was good, we got seated right away. We were the first customers of the day. I love all the Indian decor, the ambiance just feels like a celebration.

We decided to try Methi after seeing the great reviews. We ordered the butter chicken, curry chicken, garlic naan, basmati rice X2, chicken samosas,a beer, and mango lassi. Our bill came to about $70+ before tip. The entrees did not come with rice or naan so we had to order that separately. The curry was okay but sauce was very watery. The butter chicken was good but the chicken was a little dry. The chicken samosas were very dry and needed tons of sauce. I think a cream based sauce would've been better to help with the dryness of the chicken. Overall the food was okay, nothing stood out to justify the higher price point. The entree by themselves were $19 each and portions were not generous. Would not recommend the samosas. Chicken was so dry it was hard to swallow. Overall decent but I don't think we will be back.

Had a good meal here for the first time back in mid July. After The Essence closed, we were looking for a new Indian restaurant in Walnut Creek. I made a 6:30 reservation on a Friday night, and am glad I did since it was busy. The decorations are the first thing you notice when you walk in. Here's what we ordered: Vegan Mango Lassi 5/5 - so glad there was a vegan version of the drink! I'm not vegan but can't have a lot of dairy. This was delicious and helped between bites of spicy foods. Garlic Naan 4/5 - not the best naan I've had, but perfectly fine for dipping in curry Dosa 5/5 - this was delicious and HUGE! 4 people can share this as an appetizer. we had leftovers that we took home. This was the highlight of the meal. Coconut chicken curry 4/5 - pretty good! Lamb Saag 3.5/5 - not super memorable but good Service was decent, and there was free parking behind the building. I will likely eat here again.

Thanks to a recent Reddit thread on good Walnut Creek lunch specials, my family and I decided to try Methi, which is right on the last block of the downtown Walnut Creek area where you don't see many of the usual storefronts and restaurants. We're so glad we went because the food was spectacular, well spiced and flavored, and had huge portions! (No need for an appetizer, which was our mistake for ordering, the lunch meal was enough!) I can't wait to go back!

We've gone to Methi several times but today I finally took pictures and I'm writing a review. The people that work there are so nice. The restaurant is really small but super cute. I love the food. We had the garlic naan and it was just exceptionally yummy. I ordered a mango chutney and it was only two dollars and they gave a really nice amount and it was so tasty. We had basmati rice. That was really yummy as well. Great restaurant highly recommended it.

After seeing posts on Nextdoor, a friend and I tried Methi for the first time last month (January 2025). We both got the lunch special, which came with naan, rice, and salad. I had the veggie tikka masala and she had the baingan bharta. I didn't love the veggie tikka masala as it didn't have the tikka masala sauce I'm accustomed to in this dish. The best part of the special was the naan. Though we were there in the early afternoon, the restaurant wasn't crowded and our food was served quickly. Wanting to give Methi another chance, I ordered shrimp curry and roti tonight (2/14/2025) via DoorDash. When my order arrived, I got chicken curry instead. I called Methi to let them know the order was incorrect. Not only was the owner, Vikram, apologetic, but he offered to personally deliver the corrected order. When he arrived, he refused to take the tip I offered. Before I knew it, I was enjoying my shrimp curry! Though the sauce was a tad salty for my liking, the spices more than made up for it. I love that he included roti with the second order because it soaked up the curry nicely. Thanks Vikram for ensuring I got my order corrected (and I'm sorry my apartment can be difficult to find at night)! Tonight was the first time a restaurant owner addressed an issue with an incorrect order AND personally delivered it to me. It's clear customer satisfaction is important to him, which means he went into the restaurant business for the right reasons. I'll definitely be back for the roti and plan to try the paneer dishes and aloo gobi in the future!

A fun little restaurant with marigolds dangling from the ceiling, it's a nice looking interior, bright, cheery, homey. Indian music played in the background, the floor was clean and so were the tables. I was visited and taken care of by two different friendly staff members. Whenever I go to a new-to-me Indian restaurant, I always order the same thing: mango lassi, some form of soup, some form of bread, some rice, and butter chicken. Overall good flavor with everything, though I think their dishes lean towards an Afghani/Indian fusion. Mango lassi - thicker than any other lassi I've ever had but a good flavor and not overly sweet, homemade. 4/5 Chicken soup - I'm not a fan of rustic cut vegetables, which is what the soup was; good flavor though. It came out scalding hot, I had to eat it after my main dish. 3/5 Vegetable samosas - the outer pastry was much thicker than my liking, but the flavor of the Samosa inside was good. The tamarind chutney served with it was good, a little tart, little sweet, a little spicy. The cilantro chutney, they served with it, looked and tasted like the cilantro chutney from Afghani food. 3/5 Aloo paratha - when this came out it looked and tasted like bolani kachaloo. Adding the cilantro chutney on it made me think I was in an Afghani restaurant. It came out with a form of raita that was smoother, spicier and a more dill flavor than I've ever had before. The ramekin that it came in, was garnished with puffed rice. 4/5 Butter chicken - this butter chicken had a nice smoky flavor to it that I like, but any similarities between it and any other butter chicken I've ever had ends there. It doesn't look like the sauce was strained as it wasn't smooth, and it was missing the tanginess and slight sweetness that normally accompanies a tomato sauce. I asked for medium spice and I'm not sure there was any heat to it other than the temperature. lol I'm not sure that I would order it again, it was a decent flavor, but when I order butter chicken, I expect something different. 3/5 Overall, a positive experience and I will be back as I would like to try their dosa and idli sambar. My only concern with those two items would be their cut on the vegetables - rustic or diced and julienned?

Mint Chicken Kabab, Lamb Korma, Veggie Biryani, Plain Naan

My partner and I came here for a date night. Food was great and the server was very nice. Would come back and highly recommend to friends!

I'm not sure if it was what we ordered but very disappointed. I've been waiting for a dosa spot in Walnut Creek, so we ordered the dosas, papdi chaat, chicken samosa and aloo paratha. While the paratha and chicken samosa was average, the dosa should not be on the menu. The dosa was thick, super soft and crumbled and what I believe was supposed to be the coconut chutney tasted like it was sour cream. Servers weren't very friendly, seemed overly shy and the floor wasn't the cleanest. Unfortunately the search continues. read more

Methi was lovely. The food was delicious and things which could be ordered vegan were clearly labeled. The outdoor seating was a nice touch and the servers were friendly and knowledgeable. Only one small, minor issue. After asking if the spice level would be "American spicy" or "Indian Spicy," we settled on ordering medium. Unfortunately, their medium was mild and I had to ask for hot sauce. Easily fixed, and otherwise a lovely experience. Will return! read more

Wonderful experience! We've ordered twice now and haven't been disappointed by anything. Appreciate the clearly marked vegan options (takes the guess work out of ordering). Slowly trying all the vegan menu options, and everything has been absolutely delicious. The aloo saag, Chana saag, and aloo gobi are our favorites so far. The vegetable biryani and samosas are also excellent. The vegetables in everything taste fresh, the flavors are bursting from each dish, and everything is piping hot. Our other non veg family member really enjoyed the coconut chicken curry, garlic naan, and lamb korma. The vegan and non vegan Lassi drink was also very good. Would love to see Roti on the menu! No pictures because it was all devoured so quickly, but next time! Ordering online is very user friendly, easy parking, and the staff is SO kind. We need to dine in to speak on that experience, but I imagine it's just the same. read more

WC is so lucky to have an amazing restaurant like Methi! The food & service is outstanding. I would highly recommend any of their sizzling tandoori dishes. The dishes come with veggies like zucchini, broccoli & onions, which is a great compliment. My favorite so far is the mint chicken kabob with a side of garlic nan. Yum! Ask for the homemade spicy sauce, if you dare. It's unbelievable! The decor & ambiance is a cool vibe. Can't wait to go back next week! read more

The food was delicious, the ambiance I set to appear as an authentic Indian restaurant and service was attentive. I was hesitant to go and was actually on my way to Habit Burger next door when my friend suggested a last minute audible. I argued against the audible, but saw that the place didn't appear crowded and the environment felt welcoming so I gave it a shot knowing that I would have to use Tums because Indian restaurants often over spice everything, but no, I had no indigestion or heartburn and the spice was perfectly added to not overpower and kill the taste of the dish, but to enhance the taste to the next level. I recommend this place if you're into central Asian food. read more

My wife and I are so happy we went to dinner at Methi last night. Upon arrival the restaurant was about 25 percent full and it seemed smaller than my expectations. It was a comfortable, colorful and casual atmosphere. We noticed many people getting takeout as well. The menu has a large number of appetizers and entrees and a few different Indian beers. My wife ordered a glass of wine and I ordered Kati Patang beer. The beer was nice but my wife did not think much of the wine. We had the fried vegetables appetizer special and they were very good especially with some raita mixed with green chutney as a condiment. We ordered the lamb vindaloo, aloo gobi, Malai Chicken Kabab and some garlic naan. All were so flavorful, perfectly cooked - especially the Malai Chicken Kabab which was so tender. Needless to say we ordered more than enough and took about half home. The service was very attentive with the owner coming by several times to our table. We will definitely be returning for both eat in and takeout to try the many other entrees they offer. One last thing, the prices were very reasonable! read more

I usually do not like to give poor rating to a small business ,however this one was an exception.Ordered a aloo gobhi bowl that comes with naan / rice and another chicken tikka masala bowl.As someone from India ,I know when I taste decent Indian food.The aloo gobhi had no salt or any flavor and naan was basically frozen naan that had been reheated.The chef was Mexican and not Indian.Nothing wrong with a Mexican chef but he needs better training on making Indian food.We ended up throwing away the chicken bowl.I would be surprised if this restaurant survives unless they train the existing cook or get a new one.With that said will never visit this restaurant again.If you crave India cuisine just go to the Essence redefined the Indian food which is not that far from this restaurant. read more

My personal favorites were the chicken tikka masala, the karami paneer, the chicken pasanda, and the chicken tikka. There Walter a lot of vegetarian options as well. I enjoyed the buffet so much that I sent my teenagers to go have lunch right after I got home. We will definitely be back!

We arrived around 8 PM and were welcomed with the same warm, energetic greeting you'd expect at opening time. Kumar, a young host, was absolutely the friendliest -- such a pleasant start to the evening. We ordered a bunch of dishes: veg fried rice (delicious), dal makhani (yum), jeera rice, a vegetable curry, garlic naan, pakodas (yum), chai, and mango lassi. But the standout was the veg chowmein -- it was bomb. It became everyone's favorite instantly and was the first dish cleared from the table. We even met one of the cooks who was super sweet. Bless you guys for being so amazing. This is seriously some of the best food around -- I'll definitely be back for those chowmein. Highly recommend!

Their popular items like the chicken tikka and tandoori chicken were already running low. They maybe refilled only once while we were seated and we probably would've eaten more if they refilled more frequently. Their naan is made fresh to order and you can choose between regular, butter, or garlic. I recommend the garlic naan! Chai tea is also included but you have to ask for it. Parking is free as well. Overall, worth trying and would probably go earlier than later when the food is full and fresh!

The service has consistently been fine--nothing particularly memorable, but never a bad experience either.

I did not feel I was treated with any kindness, concern or care. He didn't seem to have the time to clean the table where I wanted to sit (and keep in mind there were no more than 8 people total dining in the restaurant) so I just took the table he offered which was right in front of the restroom. I then proceeded to help myself to the buffet, which had a lot of choices. On the left is salad items and very watered down chutneys, in the middle vegetable dishes, and on the right meat dishes (mostly chicken). The dishes on the back side of the buffet against the wall had foil on them and it wasn't until I went for a second plate and some of the foil had been taken off that I realized I missed half the food! All the fried foods for that matter! One thing they definitely have going for them is selection. I had no water so I had to ask for that, and the waiter just acted like he knew, but if he knew he should have brought it when I first sat down. Then I had to ask for naan, and again he just seemed to know he was late in getting it to me, and I had to wait. No apologies. I finished my first plate of food before the naan ever came, and it wasn't very good naan anyway, so no big loss there. The food was all incredibly too salty for my taste, and very average quality. As I was paying and leaving there was a couple that came in and they wanted to sit at the same table where I had initially wanted to sit, and the table was still dirty. Overall this experience was no better than the former Saroor, not bad but not good either.

The ramen was chewy and thick ( I believe they use a mochi ramen?) Emoki chips were great to share, however it was difficult to eat as they were super clumpy and did not separate. The mentaiko takoyaki was just alright. It was just takoyaki with some mentaiko sauce, I would probably skip this next time. The service was quick and they were constantly refilling our water :) Parking: street parking in DT Walnut Creek can be hard, but walk a couple of blocks and get 1st hour free in a nearby garage!

We've visited Methi multiple times now, and it has quickly become one of our favorite Indian restaurants. Every visit is consistently excellent and I love telling friends about this spot! One of the things that keeps us coming back is definitely the owner, who is always incredibly welcoming, friendly, and genuinely happy to see his guests. That kind of hospitality makes the experience feel special every time. The food is top-notch and easily among some of the best Indian cuisine we've come across. The portions are generous and perfect for sharing, making the prices feel like an even better value. The garlic naan is an absolute must-order...fresh, flavorful, and packed with herbs and great for dipping. The Indian salad is unique, refreshing, and a great complement to the richer dishes. The tikka masala hits the spot every single time and never disappoints. And if you're a fan of mango lassi, theirs is just perfect...thick, creamy, and absolutely delicious. Like I fear if they offered free refills, I would've drank them dry lol. The restaurant itself is also very charming. It's on the smaller side, but that's part of what makes it feel so inviting and cozy. If you're looking for great Indian food, generous portions, fair prices, and warm hospitality, Methi is definitely worth a visit. We'll be back again and again! read more
