    Break Pakora
    Momo C.

    I had high hopes reading the reviews. But Oh boy wasn't it disappointing. First of all the Gulab Jamuns were rotten. Had that sour smell & rotten taste. We had to spit it out. You can see the image (dark hard center). There were literally no differences between the goat curry & lamb Korma. Again both were very average and both authentic. May be it's their own version but the curries looked and tasted exactly the same. The bread pakoras were really good though. Masala Papad were ehh nothing special. Overall it is a clean nice place with not so good food.

    Tandoori Express, Oakhurst: 2025 Jul 31 (3.33) I ordered to-go because of my schedule. When I got there, Vansh came out of the kitchen to greet me. Vansh didn't seem like he was in the mood to serve. He was very short with me. (2 of 5) My order: Lamb biryani is a classic South Asian dish featuring tender pieces of lamb layered with fragrant basmati rice, aromatic spices, and caramelized onions. It's a culinary masterpiece that combines rich flavors and textures into one satisfying meal. Unfortunately, the lamb, though tasty, was cold, tough and chewy. The rice was dry and lacked taste and I couldn't find any caramelized onions in my rice, just pieces of onion. (3 of 5) I grabbed a Mango Lassi to-go. Mango lassi is a popular Indian yogurt-based drink made with yogurt, mangoes, and sugar. It is known for its creamy texture and sweet, tropical mango flavor. Today was not a main meal kind of day, but the mango lassi scored a 5 of 5.

    Amazing little place for Indian food when you are in the area. I grabbed dinner a few times here when traveling to Yosemite NP!

    Lamb tikka masala

    I don't like to eat out during the trips, but this place is a gem. Food was sooo good, I left my bowl clean. Extremely delicious! I ordered lamb tikka masala which comes with rice and garlic bread, my hubby had lamb chop and loved it as well

    Butter Chicken Masala

    Really enjoyed dinner here tonight! Some of the best Butter Chicken I've ever had! Service was great too! Only thing holding this back from five stars is that it was crazy hot inside in August. Like they just not have AC or their AC was broken. That said, there's something to be said about eating amazing Indian food with sweat pouring down your face!

    Pretty average Indian food. The curries are on the sweet side. But a good Indian option available on DoorDash.

    Really enjoyed the food. However I wanted Saag Paneer and they were out. Ugh..ordered tea came in paper cup no refill...The chicken masala was very good. Nice chicken pieces tiny amount of onion and a couple pieces of peppers. The noti was fresh and good for dipping in masala and chutney. The rice was good and fresh. Slow evening. Couple carry outs and one other table. They do have beer and wine. Masala : 4.5 Out of stock on dish i wanted -2 Noti :5 Rice : 5 Service 4.5 Tea should be in a pot and at least 1 refill. I would return when in the area.

    Prompt service, pleasant Indian music, delicious food! A pleasant surprise to find an Indian Restaurant near the south entrance to Yosemite!

    Amazing staff very kind, welcoming! Wonderful food!! Authentic taste of all the dishes!! We tried Paneer, Naan, Raita and Chicken dishe.. All yummy ! Must try if u r in Oakhurst area!! Vanshikha owner super nice! Kajal very kind!

    Rosemary naan (left), a vegetarian curry (right), and rice it comes with (middle)

    Not bad for a random Indian place in Oakhurst! Came after a day in Yosemite so I was ravenous, and the portions were pretty decent! I got a vegetarian curry (comes with rice), chicken tikka app, and rosemary naan. I couldn't finish it all, but it made for a lovely breakfast the next morning (reheats well). The staff were friendly and helpful. The vibe inside is mid-scale, but they have outdoor bathrooms (reasonably clean) and Indian music videos playing on loop on the TVs. It's conveniently located right off the Main Street, so easy to find. Wouldn't seek it out, but if you're staying in oakhurst it'll do just fine if you want Indian food :)

    It was GOOD!
    Kasi K.

    It isn't often that I find food that makes me wish I had a larger stomach. Living in a small mountain town and seeing that it is a franchise, I didn't have high expectations walking in. Imagine my delight and surprise to have some frickin' delicious, authentic Indian cuisine only a short while later! Service was great, people were friendly, and I will be back soon!

    I love my shrimp butter masala, it's rich and creamy, a perfect balance of sweet, sour, and spiciness. This dish would be perfect if fresh shrimp were used instead of frozen ones, but given the location and price, there's not much to complain. Mango lassi is also my go-to drink, so creamy and silky. Garlic naan is crispy on the edge, a bit greasy on the fingers. Staff are friendly.

    My partner and I stayed in Oakhurst during our trip to Yosemite. We picked this place for dinner on a whim and could not have been happier that we did. Delicious tikka masala and mango lassi!! Definitely a small town gem.

That is exactly what happened during my recent dinner at Elderberry House. I visited with a group of four, and between us, we had two gluten-free diners and one vegetarian. After a quick heads-up the day before, the restaurant handled our needs with total ease. We went for the five-course tasting menu, and it was incredible from start to finish. We kicked things off with one of the best oysters I have ever had, followed by a beautiful tuna presentation. The kitchen even looked out for our gluten-free friends with a special version of their herbal-butter focaccia that was actually delicious. By the time the main courses arrived, I honestly could not decide if I liked my beef or my friend's snap pea risotto better; every single bite was pure perfection. The cocktails were another high point. My first drink was great, but after chatting with our server, Jordan, I decided to try the Last Word. It featured that hard-to-find green chartreuse, and I am a little annoyed to report that I have a new favorite cocktail that requires such a rare ingredient. The service is what really made the night so special. Jordan was so charismatic and helpful, making sure we were perfectly taken care of all evening. He was so good that I almost worried a second visit would not be the same without him, though the rest of the staff quickly put that fear to rest. Abby was so friendly and responsible for a truly unique but perfect-for-the-vibe playlist, and Chris the mixologist even stopped by to geek out about gin and cocktails with us. From the genuine care for our food sensitivities to the clever touch of the iPad check-in hidden in an elegant binder, it was a night for the books. I cannot recommend this place enough and look forward to bringing my family next!

Better than the frozen fish sticks from the supermarket. Fried zucchini was shaped like french fries. Batter was crunchy. I could barely taste the zucchini as there seemed to be more batter than zucchini. I prefer bigger pieces of zucchini and less batter. Ok dish. Fanta Pineapple soda was sweet and full of pineapple flavor. Very good. Server/Cashier was very nice and brought out our meals quickly.

I actually enjoy their pizza, but it's getting harder and harder to come here because the overall cleanliness has become a serious issue. The dining area was noticeably dirty. The windows were smudged with fingerprints, the cheese and pepper shakers on the tables looked like they hadn't been wiped down in a long time, and the floors seemed like they hadn't been mopped at all throughout the day. When we ordered soda, they were out of three different flavors. While we were sitting there, I watched several employees walk past overflowing trash without doing anything about it. I didn't even bother taking pictures of the men's restroom floor or the condition of one of the toilets, but I did take photos showing they were out of paper towels and toilet seat covers. If this is what guests can see, I can only imagine what the back area or kitchen looks like. What makes it even more frustrating is the comparison to other local places. Round Table in Oakhurst just remodeled and is spotless. Their staff is constantly wiping down tables, windows, doors, and counters. Pizza Factory has the same level of care and cleanliness. Meanwhile, this Me-N-Ed's feels neglected and honestly pretty gross. I don't know if it's a franchise issue or the owner, but there is zero pride of ownership here. After seven years of living up here and watching this location decline, it's very disappointing. I'm honestly surprised this place is still open.
