Menu Dec 2022
Lisa T.

True and authentic Punjabi food is on the menu here. I loved their palak paneer and chai. But the dish that steals the spotlight is the aloo paratha. Gigantic, hearty, and topped with melted butter. Note they do love their chilis here so if they ask you how spicy you want it, round it down a bit! Trust me!

We were very hungry! Food was OK. Samosa Chhole were good! veggie briyani was delish! Goat curry wasn't that good. No flavor very greasy Masala fried chicken was ok Naan bread was good Sauces were ok Staff was very friendly! Fast service. Clean

The food is here not what I expected. I was really disappointed by the food here. We ordered gol gappa, pav bhaji, noodle burger, aloo tikki burger, gobi Manchurian, and momos. Instead of giving us our momos, she decided on her own without asking us and gave us noodles instead. All the food tasted genuinely old. It was quite upsetting. None of us finished the burgers, didn't take more than a bite, it tasted like old oil or something. The noodles were lukewarm at best. The only decent thing was the gol gappa but if you're not into sweet gol gappa, then don't bother getting it. The gobi manchurian was so inconsistent, the sauce wasn't mixed in with the fried gobi. We asked for fried rice and they handed us jeera rice. I would not recommend this place to anyone.

Vegan spicy potato Dosa $7.50
Casey M.

This place was pretty delightful. I got the vegan spicy Dosa and it was delicious, the daal that came with it tasted a little off to me (maybe some spice I don't like) but the coconut dip was a good balance. I ate the whole thing and was totally full, paying $7.50. What a deal. I wish I lived closer. The ladies were helpful too in guiding me towards the vegan and gluten free options. Also noteworthy, they have some less typical food options, things you might see eating Indian at a friend's house as opposed to an Americanized restaurant. Unfortunately they serve on paper/plastic and provide plastic cutlery. I hope the owners see this and consider compostable or non-plastic items.

Vegetarian samosa to go.
Jeanell J.

Glad they were open during COVID-19. This is my second visit here. The first time was by happenstance. I happen to be visiting the bakery next door. On my first visit, I ordered lamb curry, naan and gulab jamun. The dish was good, but there was a one note curry flavor instead of the depth of flavor I usually taste with Indian food. The galub jamun was delicious. On today's visit, I ordered vegetarian samosas. I'm not a huge fan of vegetarian samosas, but these were good. I ordered them for my son and loved them. The prices are great. Comparable for the quality and quantity of food received.

Lahori fish- highly recommended
Debika M.

FOUND MY NEW FAVORITE INDIAN STREET FOOD RESTAURANT IN EAST BAY! I really wanted some chaat and Indo Chinese at the same time, and it's so hard to find a place that even serves one or both. We were in the Richmond area, and I knew it was a long shot but I still looked up "indo chinese" on yelp and found this gem! Couldn't be happier about this find! The best part? For the Bay Area, it's so cheap! This place reminds me of restaurants back in ATL :) This is a true hole in the wall, self-service kind of place in a little strip mall in technically what's San Pablo, not Richmond. But who cares where it is and if it's a hole in the wall or not when the food is out of this world? You're in the mood for chaat? Pakoda?They have got it. Indo Chinese? Covered. Biryani? Kebabs? Fish fry? No problem! What was that? Oh, you want Dosa, too? Sure, why not! Love the diversity in the menu here. Although I have only tried three items here, I have no doubt the others are excellent as well. I will definitely be coming to try them! We ordered the Lahori fish fry, chicken noodles, and gobi manchurian. Food came out super fast, and it was really fun to watch the lady cook behind the counter. The lahori fish fry was perfectly cooked and seasoned- crispy on the outside with lots of crushed whole spices and flavorful on the inside. No fishy smell at all that usually keeps me from ordering fish. The chicken noodles and gobi manchurian Botha's a wonderful smoky smell common in Hakka food. The gobi was perfectly fried too. Our friends have already visited and vouched for their aloo paratha! We are planning a game night soon just so we can order in on from spicy bite!

They do not have a great deal of variety. But they have a different menu from other Indian restaurants. Doesn't hurt to try.

Chicken Dosa $6.75 (Also comes with lentil soup).

I wish they gave first responder and military discount discounts, But to each his own. And of course, the food is good. I've had the butter, chicken, and the chicken tiki masala. I wish the naan was more toasted and crispy. But it does have a good taste. You should try it sometime. Let me know what you think. PS everything has gone up two extra dollars. I'm guessing it's because of the tariffs.

Jan 16 2026 3.9 stars…read more Normally we will drive from Crockett to Dublin for Indian food. A long drive since we often hit commute trafic on the way home. Shalimar's Naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, Tandoori Chicken and their rice. Shalimar is a bit holee-in-the- wallee but their food is delicious. Today we decided to give Paradise a chance and save some driving miles and time.. First impression. The glass entrance door could use some windex and tape removed. Sprucing up. Looking good. Maybe this place IS Just Like Shalimar but without the drive. Inside the place looks spacious and clean with the exception of two pieces of litter near a band stage that keep screaming to be picked up. As we were not greeted when we arrived, we walked across the restaurant to interupt the cashier\waiter''s conversation he is engaged in. We are told we should take our menus he hands us to the table of our choosing and that he will be our waiter. The Waiter\Cashier is charming and attentive on every interaction we have with him after this. After about 30 minutes our Tandoori Chicken arrives sizzling and steaming on a heated metal plate. A nice touch. That heated metal plate kept the chicken hot the entire meal. The size of the Tandoori order was smaller than we are used to but I'm still happy I'm not driving to Dublin. My wife complains that the chicken tastes "old" as if it was precooked and then reheated. The other items arrived. We both loved the Tikka Masala , Rice and Garlic Naan. And enjoyed skipping the round trip to Dublin. We wanted to order more rice but the Waiter/Cashier was being bum rushed with what looked like to-go orders and I didn't want to wait in line to ask for rice. Our meal is almost finished and the Waiter/Cashier stops by to ask how things are. We mention the rice story and he immediately offers an order of rice and Tikka Masala gravy. Turns out it was the rice With Chicken in the gravy. Nice one Sir. Wife and I both agree that we will stop by for Tikka Masala but will be driving to Dublin for Tandori Chicken. Take note that there may be an automatically applied service charge added to your bill regardless of your party size. We got one for a party of two. Also the toilet bowl in the first of two variable sex restrooms that you come to is not totally secured to the floor.

Located in an incredibly small strip mall off San Pablo in El Cerrito (there is parking), you'll find this spot. Check hours ahead of time because they do close after lunch hours and reopen for dinner. We've ordered to-go from here several times, but this was the first time we've sat down and had a meal in-person. There's nothing like warm Naan bread, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Saag Paneer on a cold day. So delicious. And of course, a Mango Lassi for the kiddo. They also tried the Rice Pudding for dessert and a cup of the Dal soup..what a spread we had. The staff is so kind, and we truly had such a wonderful dinner shared together. You can tell they put so much heart into their dishes and the community that comes to support them. We can't wait to come back and try the Momos, Tandoori Special Kebabs, and the Chowmein (with egg!) There's an incredible amount of veggie dishes and vegetarian dishes here too. Not too bad on the wallet. A fun, local find for any occasion.

We were seated immediately and didn't need to look at the menu too long before we ordered. We decided on pani puri and veggie samosas for apps and tikka masala and butter chicken, rice and garlic naan. I ordered a vegan mango lassi and him a regular mango lassi. The pani puri was ok. I like the crispy, but I wasn't too fond of the filling to be chilled. It also had a slight sweetness to it and it wasn't my favorite. I've had it before, but I don't remember it being chilled on the inside, but what I do like about it what is that? It has a crispy shell when you bite into it. The veggie samosas were my favorites. The butter chicken was kind of bland as well as the tikka masala. It did not stop me from finishing my garlic naan with our dishes but I found myself wishing it was more flavorful. My vegan mango lassi had a taste that I wasn't too fond of and didn't finish it. At the end of the meal, it was more than $100 and that was sticker shock for me. I don't think I'm returning, but the service is friendly.

We get their Pumpkin Tikka Masala with Garlic Roti (all Vegan and sooo good)! Tip: Add extra Tikka Masala sauce if you like to dip. Their Roti has a craveable chewy texture that no other place makes.

We get it delivered through Grubhub. $0 fees for orders over $50. And the restaurant packs everything carefully and thoughtfully!
