A classy, tasty, and affordable Indian restaurant in the Central Richmond. The service is attentive yet not overbearing. They can handle a group of 8 at 7pm on a Friday. The dining room is elegant with white table cloths and fresh roses. Polished glassware to boot. Modern music plays at a comfortable volume to not be awkward or overbearing. Just do yourself a favor and get over here. They have a nice selection of beer and wine as well. Cheers!

Ocean Indian Cuisine is a solid choice for cleanliness, service, and well-executed classic Indian dishes. From the moment we sat down, they welcomed us with crispy papadum and a trio of chutneys, which was a great way to start the meal.For appetizers and bread, we ordered two garlic naans and a basket of puri. The naan was warm, pillowy, and had the right balance of chew and crisp edges, while the puri was soft, stretchy, and delightfully airy--definitely a highlight. The portions were generous, making it easy to share. The chicken momos were also a hit, with thick, doughy wrappers and a well-seasoned, meaty filling. The dipping sauce that came with them complemented the dumplings nicely, adding a bit of tang and spice.One of the standout items for me was the salmon in the tandoori mixed platter. The salmon chunks were cooked to perfection--flaky, tender, and infused with a smoky char that added depth to the flavor. It's not often that I find tandoori salmon this well-executed, so I'd definitely order it again.For entrees, we went with the palak paneer, lamb biryani, lamb rogan josh, and chicken korma. While the flavors were all enjoyable, the spice level was much milder than expected, despite requesting medium spice. Next time, we'll opt for "hot" to get the heat we were looking for. My favorite was the chicken korma--it was creamy, rich, and had a well-balanced blend of spices. If they added golden raisins for a slight sweetness, it would have been perfect, but even without them, it was still excellent. The palak paneer also stood out because of the paneer itself--it was fresh, soft, and had none of that rubbery texture that some places serve. You can tell they put effort into using quality ingredients.Service was another strong point. Our server was attentive, frequently refilling our waters and swapping out plates as new dishes arrived, making for a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.Parking is street meter parking, so be prepared to hunt for a spot during peak hours. We were too full to try their mango lassi this time, but it's on my list for the next visit! Looking forward to coming back to explore more of their menu.

This place really ticked all the boxes for me for a neighborhood spot. We tried several dishes and the heat for each one was perfectly adjusted to mild or medium instructions. Also not one dish felt oily- which I really appreciated. Friendly staff that really went above and beyond - a refreshing change from the typical SF attitude. I will definitely be back.

This place was the top rated Indian restaurant in the Yelp Top 100 Bay Area list in 2022 and it's been on my bookmarks since then.I finally tried it when my cousin was visiting SF! I liked the food but was not blown away. Probably because it was a bit collect spiced for my liking and I'm used to more spice and flavor. I would rate it 4/5. We ordered in the following to our hotel to have along with some beer,Veg Momos - Filling was definitely flavorful and the momo itself was huge! But it was slightly more doughy than I am typically used to, that's my only negative to this.Paneer Tikka - soft well cooked/grilled paneer but I definitely needed more heat and spice on this one.Dal Tadka - hint of garlic and really well cooked, we liked this dish but slightly low on salt/butter/garlic. Definitely to the healthier side.Egg fried rice - got this for the side and this was pretty good. Simple dish, no complaints here. Went well with our other orders. I would probably emphasize on making things spicier (their highest level?) next time if I come back.

Excellent food - recommend the fish curries which feature salmon, and everything was very flavorful and good. Also very attentive service and not too terribly difficult to find parking. Nicely affordable as well... not a fancy ambience for special occasions, but a great place for a delicious meal with family or friends.

Great takeout option, the momos are really filling even though there's only 5 pieces. I tried both veggie and meat one, I like the veggie one more as it had more flavor. The butter chicken was amazing, I would 10/10 order it again. Garlic naan is huge too, would recommend getting that to go with the butter chicken. Everything came so hot and fresh.

There's a reason this place has such a high rating. The food and service are excellent. I ordered the paneer veg chowmein, mild spicy because even their papadum sauces were pretty spicy! I like that they have a chow mein option with protein as opposed to just veggies. They also serve delicious crispy papadum with 3 sauces once you sit down at the table.The service is as good as it gets - everyone is friendly, attentive e.g. filling up water often, and very helpful (they packed my to go food for me. Can't wait some curries next time!

First off, this restaurant is clean. That's important to me. Secondly, the service and food are excellent. I can tell they really care about their guests. And thirdly, the prices are reasonable. Who doesn't want to eat at a place they can easily afford?I noticed this restaurant with its sidewalk awning while driving past it on Geary Street, towards The Grocery Outlet and the Orthodox Cathedral (otherwise known for its onion-shape domes). A quick look on Yelp and the reviews were very good. I love Indian food and it's been a while since I had it. So I decide to try it; after all, my stomach was nearly empty. The place appears formal with each table covered by white tablecloths, and enhanced with noticeably bright red cloth napkins and large water glasses. It's elegant without being uncomfortable. Dinner guests were dressed casually and there were quite a few families and groups when I arrived on a Saturday evening. The staff is very eager to see guests to a table and fill their glasses with water promptly. Two large seed-filled crackers with three distinct flavored sauces (mint, sweet syrup, and reddish hot pepper) were brought to me on-the-house. My tastebuds were awakened. I ordered the lentil dahl soup which arrived piping hot and the raita made with yogurt, cucumber, and spices; it not only cooled down the soup, but added more flavor to the mild taste of the dahl soup. Their chai tea's deep sweet flavor was delightful.I ordered the garlic naan that was very long in size and tasty. The medium-spice lamb curry was filled with chunks of meat; a separate order of basmati rice that's served in a tin bowl was more than enough for the curry sauce.After dinner, a complementary bowl of delicious rice pudding was brought to me which was a nice surprise. My first visit to this place was a real pleasure and I hope to return again soon.

Very solid Indian food! I don't have Indian food often, but I was pleased by the dishes we ordered at this restaurant. For a party of 4, we were seated immediately on a weekday night and throughout the duration of our meal, the service was quick and friendly. They came multiple times to fill up our waters, and the food came out pretty quickly. We ordered the chicken momos, biryani, butter chicken, malai kofta, and garlic naan. My favorites were the momos and dipping the garlic naan into the butter chicken. So delicious! I did not love the biryani as I felt the dish overall was a bit dry and had a lot of cilantro incorporated in. Otherwise, I would totally come back and order my favorites to get my fix!
