Marigold Indian Eats

Earlier I had raved abput the chaat at this place. I came back, and tried the curries. Kind of a let down. The curries were so-so at best, and the vindaloo was just sad. Try the chaat and starters though!

The Ambiance in the restaurant was nice though I ordered for pickup and didn't eat there. Staff was nice. The food was not bad I liked the tikka masala I did find a hair in my food half way in which was a bit disturbing but I never contacted them to complain. I also got samosas that very the tastiest to me but they were veggie just kinda mushy on the inside but the sauce that came with it wa

We ordered food from Marigold the other day and thought, overall, it was average. The one outstanding item was the lamb korma, but unfortunately the vegetable Samosa were so soggy and small that these two dishes canceled each other out.The sauce on the lamb korma was amazingly good. Nice and thick and extremely complex. The pastry on the Samosa was soggy and limp. They were very small, with little filling. The chicken tandoori was fine. Maybe a little skimpy in terms of portion size compared to other places, but decent.The chicken tikka masala had a very light sauce, in terms of color, and the chicken was generous. You could tell the restaurant uses very high-quality chicken breast. The dish was fine, but I like a richer, more deeply-flavored sauce.The chutneys from this place are very good!Will be sticking with our regular places, because they are slightly less expensive, with food that is above average. I don't like paying more for food that is just average with smaller portions and does not include rice-- which our regular places do.It was also a bit of a turn-off that we ordered the Samosa chaat, but received the Samosa, so we had to go through the hassle of getting a refund.

I loved their version of veggie korma! And spicy is spicy (yay). I might ask for extra spicy next time. The chicken tikka masala was also yum. It reminded me of a squash soup I had. Also seemed cheesy. Regarding naans, I will stick to the pleasant "plain" style. Husband got the garlic naan but we were both indifferent to it. I appreciate we phoned in the pick up order and it was ready in 15-20 minutes, pretty quick.TLDR Awesome curry. Nice staff.

Solid Indian food. Kids loved it. Convenient takeout. Definitely coming back for an easy weeknight dinner.

Shocked and amazed. Indian food was absolutely amazing. This place has zero curb appeal. It's even less glamorous once you walk through the door. But, oh my gosh, the food and service is fantastic. Paneer tikka masala was top-notch. Garlic naan, fantastic. Huge portion of rice. Although five stars, I do have a recommendation. Please make a few new clean photocopies of the menu. The menu I was handed had definitely seen better days.

We ordered vegetarian takeout here several times. The food was always consistently good, the service was excellent. While I was waiting for my takeout order to be made, they were kind enough to offer some freshly made chai - such a pleasant experience and on top of that the chai was authentic, hot & made with a good balance of spices. They do have parking right in front, several spots. In case you were planning on eating there, they do have some limited seating inside and right outside. Enough seating to happily dine in with 2-3 friends as I suspect most people use this join as a takeout spot.

***3.5 Stars***Indian food in Temescal?! Welp... *ahem*: "It's about damn time!". The lack of Indian food restaurants around these parts is something serious. When I saw that this new Indian place had opened up in Temescal, my little heart skipped a beat. This is what I've been waiting for. Since I couldn't be out of the office for too long, I decided to order for to-go.Their menu is pretty legit. Prices are high but at this point in time, what ISN'T?! What's nice is that this place offers some really good lunch special deals. I'm always up for saving some coin, so I decided to take advantage of their lunch special. Ordered the chicken tikka masala and shrimp curry lunch and it came with basmati rice and butter naan. Their restaurant is super tiny and plain. It looks like they are still trying to get things together in there, but a few other people came in to pickup to-go orders, so I'm thinking that it's a good choice for Indian takeout. The guy at the register was pleasant but didn't seem to know much English, so it was a bit hard to ask him any questions. When I opened the bag, the aroma started to fill the room. Everything was nicely packaged and rationed. The butter naan was warm and soft and the rice was nice and fluffy. The shrimp curry was decent but definitely could have used more spices and they only put 3 pieces of shrimp in it. I mean, I know it's lunch portions but dayum! Can I at least have a full serving? It was basically all sauce. But the real winner here was that chicken tikka masala. The chicken tikka masala was lit! It was so damn rich and creamy. The flavor just took ahold of my mouth. I wanted to dip everything in that damn tikka masala! So, soooo good! And luckily they weren't as skimpy with the chicken as they were with shrimp. To be honest, their chicken tikka masala is what made me push them from a 3 to a 4 stars. It was so incredible, but without it, this place is easily a basic 3. I'm planning to dine in soon, so hopefully the dine in experience is much better. But, that chicken tikka masala is definitely worth coming here for. And, I'll be back again for it real soon.

This is the best place. Unbelievably delicious every time. Not only is it the best curry in the Bay but it is good EVERY single time, which is hard to find. Highly recommend the baingan bartha but truly you can't go wrong.

This place has really tasty Indian food made with care. I have tried the daal mahkani, chana masala, saag paneer, mixed tandoori, chicken tikka masala, rice, and garlic naan. I have found the tandoori to be a bit dry (maybe juicier at the restaurant since I'm always doing takeout), but I stick with the curries which are all delicious. We usually get mild for my son, so I can't speak to the spice level for those who like it spicy. The portions are also good for the price.I also appreciate the family that runs this business. Very nice guy at the counter. He has been cool with me bringing my own glass tupperware containers so that we don't accumulate more plastic (can't handle all the plastic takeaway containers in my life!). Go support this great neighborhood spot for delicious Indian food.
