"One of the newer Indian joints in the heart of San Mateo downtown. They do have great vegetarian options. The Hara Bhara kebab was slightly crispy and was a good combination with the chutneys. Our favourite was Akbari Paneer- smooth, creamy and the right amount of smokiness. Since they are a new restaurant, they are experimenting with different items so do ask for dishes (chef special) that may not be on the wall menu inside the restaurant. Their gulab jamun with sprinkled pistachios is also amazing. All this combined with friendly service made for a nice evening out."

Shamila
We went this restaurant on New year eve, all the food items were awesome. We can’t compromise the taste of goat biriyani and it was delicious. Chef Francis was so polite and his beetroot cutlet was the showstopper. If anybody going around that way , you can try this restaurant. View menu

I went into this restaurant not really expecting too much, but I walked away pleasantly surprised! The service was very friendly and the food was amazing! Indian food is one of my favorites so it takes good food to impress me. For only being open a short while everything went smoothly. And the prices were reasonable $15 for a large meal is great these days. Would definitely recommend!
Akshada
Best Indian food I have had in long time! We ordered dahi kebabs as appetizers which melted in the mouth. Paneer akbari was outright delicious and naan was crispy yet soft. Reminded me of authentic Desi food you get in restaurants in India. Hands down one of the best places for Indian food in the bay area. Ras Malai was delicious too, it was fresh and soft. The manager told me that they have evening buffets on Friday, Saturday and Sundays for $17, I will be going there quite often ?. Happy to finally find one place which serves authentic Indian food!
