" Lotus Cuisine truly knows how to bring authentic Indian flavors to the table! I went there for a quick lunch and had their dal makhani and garlic naan – both dishes wonderfully hit the spot. The service was top-notch; they maintained a warm atmosphere while ensuring all our needs were met. I cannot recommend this place enough. It's my go-to for Indian food, and next time I'm trying the lunch buffet! " (*Curated Review*)

" Lotus Cuisine is a delight! We celebrated a family gathering there and it surpassed all our expectations. The ambience is warm and inviting, making it perfect for family dinners. The highlight of our meal was definitely the buffet; everything was fresh, and I especially loved the malai kofta and the variety of desserts. The owner even stopped by to check on us, which added a personal touch. We will certainly return and recommend it to others seeking an authentic Indian dining experience! " (*Curated Review*)

" I was really looking forward to dining at Lotus Cuisine, but to be honest, it fell short of my expectations. The restaurant decor was lovely, but the food lacked depth and complexity in flavor. I tried the lamb curry and found the meat to be a bit on the tougher side. My dining companions enjoyed their meals a bit more, but it felt like something was missing in mine. Service was acceptable, though a little less attentive than I would have liked. It's a nice spot, but I think I might seek out other options next time. " (*Curated Review*)

" I discovered Lotus by chance and ended up quite pleased. I ordered takeout for a casual dinner. The staff was friendly, which is always a plus. I tried a few vegetarian dishes, and I loved the chana masala — so aromatic and flavorsome! However, the palak paneer was a bit bland compared to what I usually expect. Nonetheless, I loved the convenience of having an authentic Indian restaurant nearby, especially with their grocery store attached. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lotus Cuisine is where I discovered what real Indian food should taste like! From the moment I entered, the friendly staff made me feel welcome. I really enjoyed the thali platter — such a great way to taste multiple dishes at once! Everything was authentic and bursting with flavor. The restaurant is an alcohol-free establishment, which makes it family-friendly. Parking was also straightforward. I highly recommend this place for anyone seeking delicious Indian dishes.

" I had high hopes for Lotus Cuisine following several recommendations, but I was somewhat let down. Although the restaurant has an inviting atmosphere, the food I tried didn’t pack the punch I was expecting from an Indian restaurant. I ordered lamb curry, and while the sauce was excellent, the lamb was rather tough. Service was friendly but a bit slow, which added to the disappointment. I may give it another chance because the ambiance was pleasant. " (*Curated Review*)

" The Lotus Cuisine is a must-visit for anyone in the San Rafael area. The staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was delicious. I tried their saag paneer and tandoori chicken, both of which were cooked to perfection. The naan was fresh and fluffy, which added to the whole experience. It's nice to find a place that believes in serving authentic dishes. The only downside was that it can get a bit crowded during peak hours. " (*Curated Review*)
