Indian Village (Vegetarian Kitchen) serves really good food that truly feels like home-cooked meals. You can confidently order any main course from their menu—everything tastes great. However, they do not offer appetizers; only main courses are available. The main drawback is the service time—it takes around 30–40 minutes for food to be served. They also don’t seem to accept online or phone orders, so it’s best to visit and order in person. The restaurant appears to be understaffed, which may explain the delay. That said, apart from the wait time and limited staff, the food is absolutely finger-licking good and worth trying.

Very simple, VERY GOOD. I was extremely pleased with the food and the service at Indian Village. They do have Vegan menu options and they are Great. My server was very attentive and nice. I had the Dal Tadka. Don't know what it means, but I know it tastes excellent. I ordered it with the highest level of spice. Had tears, sweat and snot running out. It was HOT, but very good. I highly recommend this place. I came, I ordered, I ate. Famous new words. This place is friggin great. The service is very good and very proficient. The atmosphere is totally Indian, which is excellent. I would love to experience the same foods in India. The food, well, suffice it to say, if you love food, you will love this. Today I had the Tofu Mixed Vegetables, Pulao Rice, and Garlic Naan. EXCELLENT!!!!! I highly re-reccomend Indian Village. I cannot say enough good things about the food here. I have not been disappointed in all the times I ate at Indian Village. Today I had the Garlic Naan, ALWAYS great, the Basmati Rice, and the Paneer Tikka Masala. Heaven!!!!!. I am stuffed and happy.

Stumbled upon Indian Village while traveling back to the Bay Area from Death Valley, and what a discovery it turned out to be! Fair warning though – this is a small family-run operation with very limited support, so patience is key here. Order everything at once and give them ample time for food prep, because rushing things won't help anyone, least of all you. Now, coming to what really matters – the food. The taste and quality is absolutely top-notch, and honestly, the pictures do all the talking. What impressed me most was that even the naans, rotis, and kulchas are freshly made to order, which is increasingly rare these days. But here's a pro tip that saved my meal – let them know your preferences upfront. I personally enjoy thin and crispy breads, so I made sure to tell them explicitly to keep the garlic naan and rotis absolutely thin and crispy, and they delivered exactly that. The next time I ordered, I forgot to mention it and got the standard version which was a bit thicker than I prefer. Small detail, but it makes all the difference when you know what you like! The people running the restaurant seem to be new to the hotel industry, me thinks. They don't quite understand the nuances of customer service or order turnaround time expectations, so you'll need to forgive them for that. I really had to pester them quite a bit to let me order what I wanted, which, let's be honest, is not how things should work in the hospitality business. But then again, for the delicious food they're cooking, I'd go back in a heartbeat, unless I find better options in the area. The kadhai paneer was nothing short of excellent – redolent of spices, it came loaded with nice soft chunks of paneer and perfectly tossed bell peppers and onions that still had a slight crunch to them. The balance of flavors was spot-on, making it easily the star of our meal. The chole, comparatively, were just okay. Not bad by any means, but didn't quite reach the heights of the kadhai paneer. But the real showstopper was the Amritsari kulcha – an absolute bomb of flavors! Topped generously with fennel seeds and sesame, it had that authentic Punjabi dhaba quality that transported me straight to the streets of Amritsar. Now, if you're not a fan of fennel or sesame, let them know beforehand, or you could do what I did – just brush it off with your fingers and enjoy the rest. Either way, that kulcha paired with the kadhai paneer was pure bliss. All in all, Indian Village delivers authentic, homestyle North Indian vegetarian food with genuine passion, even if the service needs a bit of polishing. The fact that everything is made fresh and they're willing to customize according to your preferences (if you insist enough!) makes it worth the slight inconvenience. Perfect pit-stop if you're traveling on I-5 and craving some serious desi comfort food!
