San Jose is home to one of the largest Indian-American communities in the United States, and the city's Indian restaurant scene reflects that diversity. The Berryessa Road corridor in particular has become a destination for South Indian, North Indian, and Indo-Chinese food that rivals any city outside of India.
You'll find crispy dosas the size of your arm, tandoori dishes cooked in proper clay ovens, biryanis layered with saffron and slow-cooked meat, spicy Chettinad curries, and chaat (street food) that tastes like it came from a Mumbai sidewalk stall. The variety of regional Indian cuisines available in San Jose is remarkable.
We researched every top-rated Indian restaurant in the San Jose area, analyzed thousands of reviews, and ranked these 10 based on food quality, authenticity, value, and overall dining experience.
