"Absolutely loved this place! It’s family-owned and you can taste the love and care in every bite. The food was incredibly fresh, and the flavors—just wow. The chicken came with a spicy sauce that was an absolute explosion of flavor, the kind that lingers in the best way. The naan was perfectly soft and buttery, great for scooping up all the extra sauce from the generous Chicken Tikka Masala, which was rich, creamy, and easily enough to satisfy two people. This is the kind of spot that makes you want to come back again and again. Highly recommend! Even spoke with owners daughter to share how amazing it was! Thank you! "

"-Goat curry was good but there was sharp bones in it.. sauce was divine - The Lamb B rice- Lamb was tender but overall it was spicier than expected definitely packed a punch -Honey Nann was tasty even though the Honey leaked in the bag"

"The Goat Haleem (16oz) + Free Coke was one of the best haleems I had in the bay area!!!! The cosistency is spot on, the flavor -very close to hyderabad haleem, The aroma, the temperature so good! The Gongura Boneless Chicken Biryani, tasted fresh, flavorful and I relished every bite!"

"The 6oz appetizer is one mini samosa. The sweet is a gulab jamun. The vegetable biryani is literally pulav. The taste is mediocre. For a family size biryani, they have not provided enough mirchi salan and raita. I would not recommend getting this."

Please don't order from this rip off restaurant! 16$ for bite sized uncooked Tandoori Chicken Tikka Boti? 6$ for one lousy excuse of overcooked Chicken Seekh Kabab! Chana Masala was meh.

"I have been ordering regularly from this store. However, in the past few orders for the Family Paneer Biryani, the paneer quantity was very less and just a lot of rice. Additionally, the rice is just plain rice and missing the actual biryani spices."

"Butter chicken, rice, and garlic naan were all flavorful and perfectly cooked. Prices were slightly better than other nearby Indian restaurants. "

"I am extremely disappointed in the quantity of meat. as you see in my picture I have one small piece of chicken and two bite sizes of lamb. this is a combo dinner and says that it's 5 oz of me each no way! other than that the flavor is fantastic but the quantity is not there. this is not worth $20. this is the only reason for the low rating. the meat is tender.. also they forgot the salad😔"

Guru Curry House

"We have been ordering from this place for years. We eat a lot of Indian food and this is the best place we have eaten. Everything is so fresh, spices are bright tasting and they listed to the details of how you want things. The tandoori fish, vegetable korma, aloo gobi and samosas and pakoras are excellent! We have never had a bad dish here. Service is very good and prices are reasonable."

"Wow! Some of the best Indian food I've ever had. The Prawn Tikka Masala was amazing, I'm sure the chicken TM would be ever better but my bf doesn't eat chicken so we compromised this time. The Saag Paneer - amazing as well. Neither were too spicy, which we prefer. If you want spice I'd include it in the special instructions. The Garlic Naan and Butter Naan were okay, can't really go wrong with naan bread but could've been a little better taste/texture. Overall amazing! As far as portions go - one order of basmati rice is enough for 2 people. Wasn't sure since it was only $2.95 but it's a good amount! Veggie Vegetable Samosa were good too, could've used a bit more diverse spices/veggies. Added some mango Mango Chutney and it was definitely better that way. "

"Food was delicious. Very very flavorful. Way too little amount of plum sauce for our samosas. Tiny little condiment container. Even when I asked for extra plum sauce they didn't add another. That was only enough plum for one samosa not two. Chicken Tikki Masala had maybe 12 pieces of chicken in it. Not a huge deal breaker but they should definitely up the amount at the 14.99 amount. Flavors were very rich and delicious, they just need to make some adjustments to their to go orders and give customers a better value. "

"the Malabar Fish Curry was the worst I have ever had. the dish came with only 2 pieces. one big piece of fish head which has minimal meat and mostly bone...the second piece was the part after with a huge bone and some meat. I've had better curry. This place just didn't work for me. Also, the rice was under cooked properly. maybe some other items are better"
