Moon Indian Cuisine

Getting takeout from here once a week since time immemorial, and still haven't reviewed this place!When they opened more than a decade ago, we ate there twice a week. Then times changed and so many Indian restaurants opened up in Fremont, and we sorta forgot about this place. Honestly though, such a nice thing to have a place like this you can pick up food from once a week. Our staples are chicken vindaloo, dal tadka, fish pakoras and all their entrees come with choice of naan or rice, so that works out nicely.

Butter chicken was more like chicken tikka masala in flavor and had a very mild chilli level. I wouldn't call it butter chicken. Ordered this over chicken tikka masala thinking butter chicken would have no chilli since someone in my party is very sensitive to spicy foods. I wouldn't mind getting this again for myself. Chicken karahi was tasty and the chicken was tender. Not amazing but I wouldn't mind getting it again. Fish masala was initially good but over time got too salty for me. I would pass on this. Sweet lassi was good, not too sweet, not too thick and not too runny. Wouldn't mind getting it again although I typically go for mango lassi. We were told that each entree came with naan so asked for garlic naan with each entree. Found out after I left and checked the receipt that we were actually charged for the garlic naan. We ordered a side of naan in addition to the "included" naan since there were 4 of us and thought that the amount of naan included with the entree was a single serving. The "included" naan was indeed single serving and the side of naan was more like 2-3 servings. Looking at the receipt, they up charged $1.30 for garlic naan per entree. I wish they were more transparent instead of being surprised on the bill. Their menu should say plain naan included. Service was really slow to order and to receive the bill. We had to flag them down for the bill only to be told that we need to go to the register. They charge a ~3% fee to pay for card payments.

I ordered the lunch special because I thought it was a bang for your buck.. just to enjoy barely half of the plate. To start off, I ordered on the phone and when I picked it up the service was quick. Nice staff!The plate really turned me off. The vegetables lacked flavor and the lentils were slimy. I tasted more of the cream in the butter chicken than the spices which made it hard for me to enjoy. The naan was my #1 from this order, great size! Overall, I hope this was just an off day because the price is so good and I still see potential despite the cons I endured. But with my experience my rating would be a solid 2.3/5

My favorite place to order Indian food in the east bay!Customer service here is quick and seamless --They are really hospitable and quick to refill glasses of water. Very attentive and ready to add any additions and make suggestions if you want to try new things. Only positive things to say about their customer service.Butter chicken is a must, but the goat curry is perfection --Butter chicken here does not miss. Has perfect balance of spices and ghee. Pair it with garlic naan and that's already a fire meal.Also ordered goat curry and lamb vindaloo. Not a fan of the potatoes but there was not much. The meat portions are always really high.EACH dish comes with rice but keep in mind, it's a lot of rice. THE wings are a must try too. So much flavor and affordable.Overall, well worth the visit. This place also has a plethora of desserts ready to buy too!

I lost track of how many times I've been here but it feels like I'm here almost every other week. Each time I always liked to try something new from the menu that I can have since I'm lactose intolerant I have to stay away from dairy. I fell in love with the chicken wrap especially when i started trying the spice levels they had & yesterday they finally got it the way I like it because I love my food spicy. The staff here are so friendly and sweet and I love when they would recommend something for us to try or answer any questions I have of any menu item. I definitely do recommend people to come here because the food is very delicious and I always leave with enough food to eat for later on. I love tasting all the different spices they use and the food is very addicting makes you come for more.

Sometimes during our endless pursuit of culinary happiness we find hidden gems that surprise even us. This was NOT one of those occasions. The reviews were quite deceiving compared to what we experienced. Located in a 'less desirable part of Hayward, on what is now a dead end street (chain link fences block the road now) tucked behind commercial businesses and next to residential, they do have a very small parking area next to the restaurant. Inside is a 'sweets counter' and a handful of tables along each wall. There was one family at one of the tables. We asked to sit outside in their relatively new enclosed outdoor patio area. You access this by exiting the restaurant door, and immediately opening the patio door. Odd, but I get the logistics. Our server was nice if not practically silent. On to the food:Palak Paneer - not bad, but very bland. We have had much better elsewhereChili Chicken - We requested their "extra spicy" for this dish. It was just okLamb Vindaloo - For this we requested "spicy" yet it was clearly mild. BIG issue for me was that they served us goat meat, not lamb... I know the difference. VERY unhappy with this issue. What was missing from the two meat dishes (goat meat aside) was any depth in flavor. Just adding heat to a dish does not create depth. It just makes it hot. Something was missing from each of them that would bring the flavors out.Each dish included either naan or rice, so with three dishes we had 2 rice sides and one naan side. The naan was plain and tough (think a grilled tortilla). Scratch this one off our list as there are so many other incredible Indian restaurants out there.

Great food, good service, very clean restaurant. I do takeaways from this place every now and then. The owner of this place is a wonderful person, always smilling. Highly recommend other to go here and experience their great food and service.

We ordered to-go Sunday around 7:30 and our food was ready around 15 mins. We really liked the eggplant, goat, and chicken tikka masala. They all had some sort of spice level. 1 piece of the garlic naan was burnt but I think that's normal since other places also have burnt naans too. If we were dining in, we would have asked them to remake some pieces. The Tandoori mixed grill was ok. Some pieces were dry. But the fish was really moist and juicy. I would probably just order the curries.

I find myself coming back here time and time again and introducing all my friends to Moon indian! The service is quick and friendlyThe food is super flavorful and has a level of richness that sets it apart from other Indian restaurants. The pricing is super affordable! Most dishes priced under $14. My go it is always the butter chicken, chicken tikka, and garlic naan. They also have lunch specials where you can get a bit of everything. I also love that the curries come with naan or rice as most other restaurants you have to order it separately. You will not be disappointed

Their food is delicious! We have been consistently ordering delivery from their website and every time it shows up hot, fresh, and flavorful.Their chicken tikka masala is one of the best that I have had anywhere. Their Aloo gobi is also delicious if you are looking for a vegetarian dish. When you order a meal you get the option of rice or naan; the portions are very large and the quality of the food is amazing. 10/10 yum!
