Butter Chicken
Mike P.

Hidden, but solid Pakistani food spot in El Sobrante. It's located in a such non-descript area, but well worth it once you find it. I love traditional Indian food, and Pakistani food is very similar....but at the same time it also has its differences. Food is very flavorful and you can taste various spices in each dish. This place is a 10 min drive so I can always come here for my Pakistan food crave.

Enjoying a family meal at Vegan and Chicken.

A very good and local Indian cuisine restaurant in the heart of El Sobrante. On the several occasions I've been there the food has been consistently good. The curries, the naan bread, and rice are excellent. The set up is reminiscent of the old Naan and Curry in San Francisco and Berkeley where you walk in and place your order at the counter, help your self to the plates and utensils and go to a vacant table of your choosing as your food is being prepared. Also as the best part , free Chai is provided that you serve yourself as well. The local Indian community in the area frequents this establishment, so you know the food here legitimate and good.

Tandoori Chicken and Tandoori Shrimp. Both seasoned to be spicy.
Zeid K.

The Good: They have the best tandoori chicken of any place around here. I've tried them all and this is the spot to go. If it wasn't for how amazing their tandoori is, I might've gave them a lower rating. This, coming from a Desi person. Their naan and roti are delicious and the roti is whole wheat. Online ordering system is good. Very convenient and simple. The Bad: Their fried chicken is super salty. I couldn't eat more than 2. Also, if you order food in different spice levels, they don't label them. If you and friends/family get the same dish, but mild, medium and spicy. You'll just have to taste each others foods to try and find out what is what.

Papadum and mango lassi

I ordered this for delivery a while back since I had an opportunity to get it for a low delivery fee to Berkeley. The order was correct and came in the time range that I was told it would. I got paneer tikka masala, papadum, and mango lassi. Paneer tikka masala: Salty and actually spicier than I expected. I didn't order rice or naan to go with it this time, so I had to pause a bit while I was eating it since I have low tolerance for spiciness, unfortunately. It would go well with a carb especially if you like your food spicy. Papadum: Tangier flavor than I expected, but it's great. Just have to be careful when you bite into it or break into pieces since it's hard and crisp, so it'll easily crumble and lead to little pieces flying everywhere. Mango lassi: Sweet, creamy, I only wish there were more!

If I could eat Indian food every day, I would. If I lived near this place, I would buy in bulk and eat it three times a day. It is THAT good. The people are friendly and you immediately feel at home when you walk in. Prices are really great, and the garlic naan... I cannot even describe how good it is and it is the size of a pizza. If you want ambiance, this might not be the place but if you want superb eats, this is the place!

Bismillah Restaurant - Chicken Biryani

Bismillah Restaurant

We have a couple of Indian restaurants closer to us that we like, but we ventured out a little…read morefurther this time. We were having dinner with a friend that eats Halal food and Bismillah popped up on Yelpas a good option. Being the uncultured person I am, the only reference to Bismillah that I knew of was from Bohemian Rapsody, so I had Queen running around in my head for the week leading up to this dinner. We walk in on a Friday night, the lights are off, there are no customers, and an older gentleman greets us at the register. It's not the most welcoming environment, but we are hungry, so we order our food and grab a window side table lit by the setting sun. Two modifications to our order - they ran out of mango lassi , and when I asked for Raita, the gentleman recommended the chutney instead. Also, no tap water, but you can buy bottled water. Turns out the guy behind the counter is the chef and waiter as well. We ordered Chicken Tandoori (leg), Lamb Biryani, Palak Paneer, Chicken Karahi, and Chicken Tikka Masala for our entrees. My favorites: Chicken Tandoori - nice char, flavorful and tender Chicken Karahi - kind of like a hearty chicken stew Onion kulcha and Roghni (sesame) naan - the garlic naan was actually a bit disappointing (on the dry side). So when we ordered more naan, we tried the other varieties and liked them better. Pricing was very reasonable.

Do not pass this up. I cannot find a comparable place that makes mixed veggies or tikka masala as…read morethey do. Honestly, I've gone as far as Sacramento and none hits like home like Bismillah. We are a frequent for many years. In the early 2000's when they first opened. Of course it's changed a lot in dining styles but the quality and service the same since day one. Same order every time, mixed vegetables, chicken tikki masala, rice, one plain and one garlic naan. This can feed four females, two teens and two adults. Plenty of parking in the plaza. There is a discounted rate of you use cash.

I ordered the " OKRA CHICKEN & WHEAT ROTI BREAD " for Dinner Last nite via Doordash.com …read more... Chicken Breast Meat was TENDER , FRESH & JUICY , The OKRA was also done ' Just Right ' being packed with " Oomph " !!!!!! Love the Melee of Curry Spice and the ' Downhome Aromas ' emanating from their "" GOURMET PAKISTANI HALAL KITCHEN "" in Downtown Oakland !!! Miraculously never had any PARKONG ISSUES around here always finding a spot , if not ' Bang in Front ' then on Adjoining Webster St. !!!! Lovely Ultra Clean AMBIANCE w/ Clean Customer Washroom & Sparkling GRANITE TOP tables. Establishment Very Appropriate For Families !!!!!!

Overall, would not recommend this place. I encountered very racist and bigoted treatment here…read more I placed an online order last night and went by for the pick up. When I approached the front counter, the lady present was very standoffish with me. I informed her of why I was there and she asked my name for the order. Upon giving her my name she then glared at me and literally asked me to recite my entire order lol! I showed her my online receipt in which she then insisted I still tell her my order. She brushed away my receipt and let another customer cut in front of me. Interestingly, the customer told her his name and she retrieved his order with no issue and was very friendly with him. To note, I was the only Black person present at that time. When I inquired as to why that customer wasn't asked to recite his entire order, she grinned and said that he's a "regular" and that I was "new." She went on to let a few other customers cut in front of me. I then asked for my money back in which she refused to return. Even when I asked for the manager, she said he was very busy. I made several requests for this resulting in her saying no and refusing to return my money. I then noted to her I'm calling the authorities in which I did. Furthermore, while servicing some of the other patrons, she would speak in another language with them while they looked at me and start laughing and staring me down. Eventually, the manager came out. He presented himself professionally and upon explaining what occurred he apologized and said it was unacceptable. He even offered me a drink with my meal and asked that I please accept the order instead and wanted to make things right. I took him at face value and said fine. While the situation was remedied, I definitely will not be returning to this restaurant. I researched some of the other reviews and came across several where other Black patrons have had similar racially motivated experiences here. That tells me there's a common practice of racism here. I refuse to support a business where this kind of behavior is tolerated. I have zero tolerance for bigots of any kind. Overall, the experience was a waste of my time and very dehumanizing. To hate someone you don't even know simply because of their skin pigmentation and ethnicity is irrational at best and bad for business especially in a place like Oakland where it's multicultural. My advice would be to not support this establishment. I especially advise any Black patrons not to come here as they clearly have issue with anyone who is simply Black, despite not knowing them as a person. Don't give your money, nor your valuable time, to hateful individuals who dehumanize others. All in all, this place gets a thumbs down.

The chickpea on the side tastes so good and smoky. Palek paneer is my usual choice at Indian restaurants, and I'm blown away. She serves the best I ever had. The spinach isn't blanched in water, but in milk! Which makes a difference. Not for vegans, but vegetarians you're in for a treat. The staff all are very friendly and I hope they expand to other states.

We didn't look at reviews or anything so we didn't know what we were getting ourselves into. We just needed lunch fast for our toddler. We ordered at the front. They have Pakistani or middle eastern food. I ordered from their lunch menu. My husband got their lamb wrap, and I got their lunch special plate. The plate came with lamb korma, rice, and garbanzo bean (chana dal), naan, and a regular soda/drink. OMG it was delicious! I haven't had good Pakistani food in a long time. The lamb korma had so much flavor, a little spice kick (loved it), and the chana dal was surprisingly good too. I hate any kind of beans but this was so good. My picky toddler even ate the lamb and rice! It was that good. My husband lamb wrap was a treat too. They had this sort of sweat relish, it went so well with the lamb. The lady who was at the front was SUPER nice, super accommodating. We had a crazy toddler. She brought over water and eventually came over and dropped our food off. We sat in the back patio. The guy who took our order came around and checked up on us too. Super friendly people! Definitely on our list when we do our annual SF visit now.
