If you're looking for a delicious and authentic Indian meal in Half Moon Bay, I highly recommend India Beach. You won't be disappointed!

India Beach is a hidden gem in Half Moon Bay. The restaurant is located in a small strip mall, but don't let that fool you. The food is amazing, the service is friendly, and the ambiance is inviting.

The food is made with fresh, high-quality ingredients. The spices are used in the right proportions, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. The portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable.

I first came to India Beach with my family a few weeks ago. We were looking for a new place to try, and we were not disappointed. We started with the samosas, which were crispy and flavorful. For our main course, we had the tnjabi ccrry hicken and the lamb vindaloo. Both dishes were cooked to perfection and were full of flavor. We also had the naan, which was perfectly cooked and fluffy

The service at India Beach is excellent. Our was attentive and knowledgeable about the menu. He made sure that we had everything we needed and that we were enjoying our meal.

The ambiance at India Beach is warm and inviting. The restaurant is decorated in a traditional Indian style, and there is a soft, calming atmosphere. We felt very comfortable and relaxed while we were dining there.

My wife and I embarked on an adventure in Half Moon Bay, the land of traffic jams and hangry tourists. The situation got so dire that we considered making a break for it, executing a daring illegal u-turn like something out of a heist movie. But just as our grumbling stomachs were about to stage a coup, a ray of hope shone through the car window - the glorious beacon of India Beach, with its flashing open sign! We made a decision quicker than you can say "naan bread."

As we pulled into the parking lot, it was as if we'd stumbled upon a hidden treasure. Unlike the overcrowded tourist traps nearby, India Beach exuded serenity and delicious aromas that promised an exotic escape. They even had tables set up on the patio, providing a front-row seat to the shoreline. It was like finding an oasis in the desert of hangry despair.

The staff greeted us with smiles that could rival the sun's brilliance, and the food? Oh, it was a taste explosion that put our grumbling stomachs to shame. We devoured our meals like it was a race against time, savoring every flavorful bite.

But the icing on the mango lassi had to be the owner's brother, who made an appearance like a cameo in a feel-good movie. This guy was so friendly; I half-expected him to start offering life advice or auditioning for a buddy-cop film. He added the perfect touch of hospitality to an already fantastic meal. In the end, we left India Beach with full bellies, happy hearts, and a renewed faith in the power of illegal u-turns. I /may/ have asked chatgpt to punch this up a little... But seriously, we had a really nice time and enjoyed both the food and the really friendly people here. If you find yourself in Half Moon Bay,...

We LOVE LOVE LOVE this family-owned restaurant, it's been our all-time local favorite for several years now. The food is DELICIOUS but even more so we really appreciate how much the owners have gone ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure their take-out process is SUPER SAFE during the current pandemic.

Honestly, since our household includes a high risk person we've been extremely cautious about ordering take-out. I can truly say that I trust India Beach and their dedication to bringing our community the most delectable Indian food while keeping their customers extremely safe.

It really seems like they've thought through everything... from the plastic sheets to create a germ barrier at the door to proactively handing back your credit card with an alcohol wipe so you're able to immediately sanitize. They also sanitize the pens used by customers to sign their receipts between each transaction. AMAZING!

We just absolutely LOVE this restaurant and wanted to hop on here and give them a huge shout out of APPRECIATION!

If you're in El Granada and have a hankering for some PHENOMENAL food served in the most SAFE way possible... EAT HERE!

p.s. the samosas are out of this world! Getting hungry just thinking...

We were in the area and were able to find a place open after 9pm. This place stays opens till 10:30 which is a good thing for late diners like us. The place has a very vintage vibe with floor seating as well. We took the canopy seats as we haven’t seen it much elsewhere.! What we tried: ➡️Mango Lassi- great in taste, not too sweet. ➡️Vegetable pakoras- Very crisp, less oily and we relished it in the cold weather. Must try item. ➡️Chili chicken- stir fried chicken and veggies. Delicious! ➡️For main course we had rogan josh, mushroom masala, and mango chicken. All of the gravies were tasty. I liked the chicken but have had better mushroom masala at other places. ➡️The breads were a little thick. Naan breads are usually thinner and my friend who ordered garlic naan didn’t feel it was a garlic naan. The service is fast and prompt. Our server was very friendly and took good care of us. We ate a lot so our bill was naturally high!! In a nutshell, this place has good food and good beach views if you like eating Indian food 🥘😍

My husband and I really enjoyed going to this restaurant last night for the first time. We are in town for the weekend and this was truly a great option. We were able to sit Indian style on a ground level table with cushions and pillows, we have never been able to experience dining like that but always wanted to. Thank you to our server and the chef for wonderful service. For starters we ordered the vegetable samosa and onion bahji (not pictured), and for our entree’s we ordered butter chicken, chicken coconut curry, rice pilav, assorted basket of naan bread and enjoyed a sweet treat afterward by ordering their gulab jamun, sooooo delicious! The perfect amount of sweetness after a delicious meal. Would definitely recommend this place to other friends if they are ever visiting the El Grenada/Half Moon Bay area.
