    Tandoori Chicken
    Brandy L.

    Small restaurant offering a buffet everyday until 4. Fast service. Food was delicious and servings were large. Had plenty of leftovers . Average pricing which now a days is expensive but worth it . Service wasn't the best . We keep having to ask for items like napkins, silverware , water etc.... Server seemed very distracted but food was good. Door is kept open allowing flies in restaurant so that was unappealing. I will not dine in but I would order for pick up .

Take about a hidden gem! The place is small it sits about 50 . The food is on point .! They have a nice and affordable menu ranging form curry , chicken, lamb etc. Bbq dishes , and a great vegetarian options , they have Indian style raps (slimmer to a pita ) fill with goods form meat veggies and a killer sauce;). The counter in the front also sale array for Indian sweets fill with delicious dates, dfruits ,sweet rose jams and nuts . This place get great food for a great price and service is good . You every want fly over the moon like me come check it out it will not disappoint:)

    Aloo Gobi Chicken Tikka Masala Saag paneer
    Winnie S.

    Chicken tikka masala- chicken is a little dry Saag paneer - can taste the spinach. Not too creamy Aloo gobi- can taste the spices Comes with rice or naan Will come again

    Butter chicken
    Sheila E.

    Butter chicken was more like chicken tikka masala in flavor and had a very mild chilli level. I wouldn't call it butter chicken. Ordered this over chicken tikka masala thinking butter chicken would have no chilli since someone in my party is very sensitive to spicy foods. I wouldn't mind getting this again for myself. Chicken karahi was tasty and the chicken was tender. Not amazing but I wouldn't mind getting it again. Fish masala was initially good but over time got too salty for me. I would pass on this. Sweet lassi was good, not too sweet, not too thick and not too runny. Wouldn't mind getting it again although I typically go for mango lassi. We were told that each entree came with naan so asked for garlic naan with each entree. Found out after I left and checked the receipt that we were actually charged for the garlic naan. We ordered a side of naan in addition to the "included" naan since there were 4 of us and thought that the amount of naan included with the entree was a single serving. The "included" naan was indeed single serving and the side of naan was more like 2-3 servings. Looking at the receipt, they up charged $1.30 for garlic naan per entree. I wish they were more transparent instead of being surprised on the bill. Their menu should say plain naan included. Service was really slow to order and to receive the bill. We had to flag them down for the bill only to be told that we need to go to the register. They charge a ~3% fee to pay for card payments.

    I ordered the lunch special because I thought it was a bang for your buck.. just to enjoy barely half of the plate. To start off, I ordered on the phone and when I picked it up the service was quick. Nice staff! The plate really turned me off. The vegetables lacked flavor and the lentils were slimy. I tasted more of the cream in the butter chicken than the spices which made it hard for me to enjoy. The naan was my #1 from this order, great size! Overall, I hope this was just an off day because the price is so good and I still see potential despite the cons I endured. But with my experience my rating would be a solid 2.3/5

    After 10 years, Moon is still one of the best value (dollar vs quality) Indian places in the bay. Food isn't always consistent (spice level, balanced flavors, oiliness), which is noticeable when we only order the same things every time, but good enough. Things we like: butter chicken (tastes more like chicken tikka masala but that's fine), okra masala, daal, biriyani (inconsistent in flavor sometimes), samosa, and all their chaat--not recommended for takeout as they get mushy. Post COVID we haven't dined in, but takeout is quick and free chai when dine in is a plus. Including updated menus.

    I have been eating here for at least 10 years; the food is fresh and tasty Recently they upped their sweets game and offer a wider variety of Indian sweets and snacks The Jalebis are made fresh daily. I usually get the lunch specials for variety and value

    I use to buy My Lamb Biryani and among other stuff at Kabila Restaurant, but the recent poor service I had with Kabila had led me to Moon Indian Cuisine. Everything I ordered in Moon Indian Cuisine was Excellent. The Tricky Part was the Lamb Biryani the plastic plate look small but actually has huge generous amounts. Moon Indian Cuisine is my new gem. Goodbye Kabila Restaurant and your poor Customer Service.

    Acharri Wings
    Tommy P.

    My favorite place to order Indian food in the east bay! Customer service here is quick and seamless -- They are really hospitable and quick to refill glasses of water. Very attentive and ready to add any additions and make suggestions if you want to try new things. Only positive things to say about their customer service. Butter chicken is a must, but the goat curry is perfection -- Butter chicken here does not miss. Has perfect balance of spices and ghee. Pair it with garlic naan and that's already a fire meal. Also ordered goat curry and lamb vindaloo. Not a fan of the potatoes but there was not much. The meat portions are always really high. EACH dish comes with rice but keep in mind, it's a lot of rice. THE wings are a must try too. So much flavor and affordable. Overall, well worth the visit. This place also has a plethora of desserts ready to buy too!

    Jalebi
    Aabhas S.

    Called them before driving over 40 minutes to ask if their jalebi is fresh, told it's fresh. Drive over and ask again before ordering - told to wait 10 minutes so they can get me fresh jalebi. Handed a box of cold (and what tastes like pretty rancid) jalebi. Ask the cashier how jalebi (deep fried dough) can be fresh and cold at the same time. Told that "fresh" just means "not old" so I guess they have me dead to rights on pedantics. The rest of the food looked good (didn't try it), but if you're in the market of fresh jalebi this isn't it.

    Chicken Kabob and rice and garlic bread
    Jersey C.

    My stomach is very sensitive. I order the chicken kabob plain without sauce and the rice and the garlic bread. I had a mango drink as well. The service was excellent and Moon and his wife are the nicest people in the world. The servers are very kind and I give the service 10 stars!! Thank you moon for being a great part of our community.

    Sometimes during our endless pursuit of culinary happiness we find hidden gems that surprise even us. This was NOT one of those occasions. The reviews were quite deceiving compared to what we experienced. Located in a 'less desirable part of Hayward, on what is now a dead end street (chain link fences block the road now) tucked behind commercial businesses and next to residential, they do have a very small parking area next to the restaurant. Inside is a 'sweets counter' and a handful of tables along each wall. There was one family at one of the tables. We asked to sit outside in their relatively new enclosed outdoor patio area. You access this by exiting the restaurant door, and immediately opening the patio door. Odd, but I get the logistics. Our server was nice if not practically silent. On to the food: Palak Paneer - not bad, but very bland. We have had much better elsewhere Chili Chicken - We requested their "extra spicy" for this dish. It was just ok Lamb Vindaloo - For this we requested "spicy" yet it was clearly mild. BIG issue for me was that they served us goat meat, not lamb... I know the difference. VERY unhappy with this issue. What was missing from the two meat dishes (goat meat aside) was any depth in flavor. Just adding heat to a dish does not create depth. It just makes it hot. Something was missing from each of them that would bring the flavors out. Each dish included either naan or rice, so with three dishes we had 2 rice sides and one naan side. The naan was plain and tough (think a grilled tortilla). Scratch this one off our list as there are so many other incredible Indian restaurants out there.

    Buffet
    Jasmine B.

    This weekend we visited moon restaurant me and my family enjoyed there buffet in the out door patio. The food was amazing and the server I believe his name was raj or raja helped us with the Buffet and he also recommended more from inside the kitchen which we tried their sizzlers the malai paneer was perfectly cooked and seasoning was just perfect. This restaurant has always been a hot pick for us but this buffet has made this restaurant choice a must!

It was hard to flag them down even though it's not a big space. The clam chowder wasn't very hot. It was cool at the top and a bit warm at the bottom. The white rice just wasn't soft at all :/ The combo was alright. No complaints on the quality of the seafood.

The Pricing Confusion: We placed our order at 5:05 PM, and the server initially took it. However, a few minutes later, they came back to explain it wasn't actually a happy hour deal, but a lunch special. This was frustrating since we had called to confirm and had already ordered. While our other food arrived earlier, we waited over an hour for the shrimp. We watched five separate tables who arrived after us get served their shrimp first. Even though we told the staff a couple of times that our shrimp hadn't arrived yet, we were still left waiting. The shrimp didn't finally arrive until 6-6:10pm. They eventually explained they thought we had already been served and suspected our order had accidentally been packed into a to-go order. The food itself was actually delicious, the shrimp and garlic noodles were very flavorful. I don't even have a photo of the shrimp because by the time it finally arrived, we were so hungry we just started eating! To their credit, once they realized the error, they slashed the price of the 1lb shrimp and gave us free rice to make it right The food is great, but the kitchen organization was a mess during our visit. Management was honest and tried to fix the mistake, but waiting an hour for the main part of your meal while watching five other tables eat is a major headache.
