Good Indian style bakery in the bay area. If you miss your bakery in the home street in India, this is the closest we can get here!

The chicken tikka masala was good but has too much sugar.The fried shrimp, garlic naan and rice were all very good.

After eating at one of the cheapest Indian restaurants, Desi Tadka, we ate at one of the most expensive Indian restaurants, Passage to India.This place was famous for their weekday lunch buffets, and Thursday-Sunday dinner buffets. Lately lunch buffets have been limited to weekends, due to lack of customers, as Indian engineers working from home. I've come here once in 2018, 2019, and now 2021, aways in December before the $11 Entertainment Coupon expired.Came here Tuesday at 530pm. Exceptional ambiance, with huge expansive restaurant, tablecloths, cloth napkins, metal utensils, glasses. Place was covid safe, as we were the only customers here during our entire stay. Ordered the $17 chicken vindaloo, the $21 chicken tikka masala, and the $3.50 naan. Dishes come with basmati rice, so you don't have to pay extra for that.The naan was fresh out of the oven, with a layer of butter. Delicious while it was hot. Four very large pieces of bread, the size of a large pizza.The chicken vindaloo was as hot as the tropical sun in Hawaii 2 weeks ago. Drank my glass of water right away. Slices of boneless chicken breast in a very spicy hot, tangy red colored sauce, mixed in with potatoes. Serving size was about 16 ounces.The boneless chicken tikka marsala was exceptional, with a brown ish orange tomato-based curry sauce with onion flavoring, medium spicy. Very expensive for 16 ounces at $21, up from $18 exactly two years ago. Wasn't about to pay for $19 for Bengan Bertha, or mashed eggplant, even if it was my wife's favorite.Finished the chunks of chicken in both dishes, and took the sauce home, to mix with cooked eggplant and cauliflower in the following days. Indian restaurants expensive due to labor intensive making dishes, and the expensive spices that go into it. I'm one of the last diners at this location, as it will close December 31, 2021. Passage to India will move to the currently closed bakery location a mile away on El Camino Real next to Shoreline and will be take out only. The waitress taking our order was of Indian descent, as was the Maitre De at the entrance. The uniformed waiter checking on our table had dark skin, and could pass as an Indian, until he directed the cook to serve up a refill of basmati rice for me, in Spanish! Mexican cook for an Indian restaurant?

I went in cuz this place opened so close to me. I was made to wait for 15 min and then came out the lady cook. She dumped couple of sauces, spices and sprouts in a big poori and called it Raj Kachori. Charged me 6$ (apparently it was 12 and a 50% off. I thought it is a good deal, but even 6$ is too much for it). Substandard item, overly priced. I wouldn't go again (may be for the mango pastry, i would).

Beware, they put nuts in their Chicken Tikka Masala!If you have food allergies, ask about every single thing you get here, or just opt out of eating here. Unfortunately, typically "safe" dishes like Chicken Tikka Masala are not safe for folks with nut allergies at this restaurant. As someone with a nut allergy who has never had an issue with this dish at any restaurant until now, I learned the hard way that this place decided to go against convention and put nuts in it. Hopefully this review can help others avoid the same mistake.FWIW the food is good, if you aren't allergic to it.

Work lunch on a Thursday for colleague's birthday.Love that the garlic naan is still piping warm and the aroma of this entree is amazing. I love all kinds of Indian food. Today I stepped into something different for my palette and the amount of spice is quite spicy but I love it. As I'm writing I'm devouring and biting into the corn kofta is soft, I can taste the bits and pieces of the ingredients of corn and they give you huge pieces. I like that they don't skimp. This blows my brain, the spiciness. lol. I love it. I can't wait to try more dishes from Passage of India. I love spinach and this hit the spot for me.Thank you, "I'll be back"!

One of the best buffet in Bay Area and I think with the largest set of menus it such Bombay sandwich, pizza bread, burger and treats like samosa, kachori, aloo tikki. Variety of options in deserts and I can't write enough about the main course. Great food with great service. It's a Must try! Totally worth the money.

Ever since the buffet went away this place has been very disappointing. They regularly screw up on orders and often forget to make phone orders or mix up your food with someone else's. The old location with the extravagant and reasonably priced buffet was a hundred times better. Had been going there over 10 years. The new location, service, and lack of buffet is truly disappointing.

Excellent North Indian takeout. The sarson ka saag, bhindi, & Chole were delish. They are in the midst of a renovation.
