Favorite Indian Restaurant: A Culinary Journey Through Authentic Pakistani and Indian Buffets

The food quality here is outstanding. The butter chicken, lamb biryani, and paneer tikka were full of flavor and perfectly cooked. Even the buffet items tasted like they were made fresh to order. The gulab jamun and rasmalai were the perfect ending. Truly a fine-dining experience.

We always have Favorite Indian Restaurant delivered for our bi-monthly bookclub. It’s always delicious. this was my first time using the app and it was super user-friendly. The only thing I wish that could be different is for the restaurant to add the name or the initials of the dish on the tub.

This a long overdue review. I've been here a few times. I really like the $25 buffet which is only offered on Fridays and Saturdays. There are vegetarian options too, as is the case with a lot of Indian restaurants. I like the variety of food here. Price includes soft drinks and chai. Great food, great value. I would definitely like to return.

The best in all the bay! At first, I was scared of trying this place because I get hesitant trying new places, but I really liked the tandoori chicken! The lady who works at the front is really sweet and I enjoyed all the food. The buffet is the best.

By far, the best Indian food I have tasted! Presentation, we were told, was old tradition. I couldn't eat it all, because we had soooo much! Definitely a must go to spot! Thank you!

Yes! We have been coming here for more than 10 years now. I found this place when I was going to school at Cal State Hayward, aka Cal State East Bay! Prior to the pandemic, we always come here for their awesome lunch buffet, which they dont have anymore.. except Friday/Saturday dinner buffet (I think). Generous portions,delicious food and friendly service is all I need.

I come here for the vegetarian dishes, so I cannot comment on the meat dishes. Everything that I tried here is either good or delicious. The garlic naan has never disappointed. It is a great place to stop by for the lunch special if you work nearby because it not not usually too busy.

This has been a longtime favorite of ours. The food is consistently good, and the staff is warm and welcoming. Before the pandemic, we used to come here often—especially for the buffet. It was a highlight, and we were disappointed when it went away. Thankfully, it’s back on weekends now. That said, a few things have changed. Previously, they would bring fresh naan directly to your table, and you could choose the type you wanted. Yes we had to wait for it to arrive but it was nice to have options and get our own naan. Now the naan is part of the buffet line, and we still find ourselves waiting for it to be replenished. It feels like a downgrade in the experience. Overall, it’s still a decent option for Indian food in Hayward, but in my opinion, the prices are a bit high for the quality. Still, it’s familiar, satisfying, and worth visiting if you’re in the area—especially if you’ve missed that buffet.
