After enjoying Mission San Rafael Arcangel, go to this restaurant which is not far away. Indian and Vegetarian food is worth a try here. Nicely cooked paneer, naan and saag paneer may be what you need. Many visitors say that waiters serve tasty pudding, ice cream and gulab jamun here. Among the drinks, there is delicious beer. It is good to enjoy great mango lassi, masala chai or coffee. The success of Lotus Cuisine of India would be impossible without the energetic staff. Good service is something that guests highlight in their comments. A number of reviewers have noticed that prices are democratic for what you get. At this place, people can enjoy the charming atmosphere and terrific decor. 4.4 is what this spot got from the Google rating system.

I drove 60 miles from San Jose to try this restaurant since I had wanted to try it for a long time and finally got a chance. Most of the staff seemed nice and friendly. However, our server didn't smile at all and was so cold in general while taking our order. This was the biggest disappointment in this place. Second, the chicken bhiriyani had broccoli in it. As an Indian, I can say that this is the biggest fau pax in the culinary world. I know this restaurant is catered towards the white community, but there was really no need to put broccoli in the chicken biriyani when there are a host of other vegetables already in there. The goat curry which is supposedly the restaurants most specialized item had hard and tough pieces. Goat curry is difficult to cook and needs to melt in your mouth when you eat it. This restaurant doesn't know how to do it. I had to leave some pieces because they were too tough to chew. Also, this is the most expensive item on the menu. So, I was literally throwing my money away. Lastly, I was assured by our waiter that we could place our dessert order later even though we were almost past the 1:30pm cutoff time. However, after finishing our main course, when we asked for dessert, another server said we couldn't order dessert any longer. Shame on the restaurant for making a commitment and then going back on it. I only commend the restaurant for trying to use good ingredients, but I question how they differentiate between organic and non organic. If two orders are placed at a table and one order is for non organic chicken and the other is for organic, how does the kitchen and wait staff differentiate? They have no markings on the serving bowls to differentiate. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $30–50 Food: 1 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 5

This is the most spotlessly clean, beautiful restaurant I have ever been in (and my family owned a restaurant). Food, service everything top notch. Great for a date or a celebration event. Many different rooms and options for large parties. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
I would give Lotus Cuisine six stars if possible. The owners are so personable and sweet. I go out of my way to order from and eat at Lotus in San Rafael rather than closer locations. Also, the interior is Amazing. Service Take out Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Lamb Vindaloo
This Indian place has been my favorite since it opened years ago. My favorite dish with dairy is their chicken tiki masala. I’ve gone nondairy for health reasons and now my favorite dish is there spicy potatoes and spinach. Their food is amazing. You have to try it. Their building is beautiful too. Nice atmosphere fancy without feeling stuffy. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes Chicken Curry Surender

Spacious and tasty Indian restaurant connected to a comprehensive Indian food market. We had the buffet, which had the typical assortment, very tastily prepared. The issue was the cost, which seemed extremely expensive 🫰 to us - $100 for three people for buffet and tea.

Perfect dining experience. We were a group of five. Wait staff were welcoming and attentive. They were careful to confirm heat level for entrees. The food was all jot and delicious, in perfect portions for easy sharing. All the breads were done to perfection and the meats were ideal. I had lamb pakora, onion naan, lamb tikka masala, and a couple sweet lassis. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

My wife, adult daughter and I ate at Lotus on January 27, 2024. The service was barely adequate with an unpleasant and inattentive server. The appetizer, Chicken Momos, was the highlight of the food with the rest of the meal being only average at best. The plain naan was too hard while the Keema Naan had very little lamb. Both were tasteless. The main dishes, chicken and lamb curries, had tough meat but good sauces. All in all, this was a mediocre place compared to other Indian restaurants like Batika in Novato. We will not return. Service Dine in Food: 2 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 4
