" If you're searching for authentic Indian food that tastes just like it does back in the homeland, Lotus is the place to go! I had their chicken tikka masala and the spice levels were exactly how I like it — just the right amount of heat! The staff members were incredibly friendly and even offered suggestions for appetizers that paired well with my main dish. The only drawback was the price point; while the quality was undeniable, the cost might be somewhat high for regular visits, but for a special occasion, it’s worth every penny. " (*Curated Review*)

" Lotus Cuisine has become our go-to for family dinners! We love the authentic Indian flavors and the kid-friendly atmosphere. The staff are always inviting and willing to offer recommendations, making the dining experience even better. One downside is that the prices are slightly higher than some of the other places we have been to, but given the great quality, it's worth it! " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Lotus Cuisine of India for lunch and was quite pleased with my experience! The ambiance really sets the mood for a nice meal. I opted for the lunch buffet, which was good, but I expected just a little more variety. Although most items were tasty, a few lacked that authentic kick I normally experience when having Indian food. The service was friendly but slightly slow during peak times, which I felt could be improved. Overall, a pleasant dining experience with potential for improvements in serving efficiency. " (*Curated Review*)

" I can't express how much I adore Lotus Cuisine of India. The flavors are spot on, and my go-to dish is the paneer tikka. Every bite feels like a burst of authentic Indian spices. The ambiance is beautiful, and I've always felt welcomed by the staff. I also love that they work hard to cater to different dietary preferences. I've had vegetarian and gluten-free options that are equally delicious. Highly recommend for any true food lover! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had such a wonderful experience at Lotus Cuisine of India. The moment I walked in, I was captivated by the beautiful decor — it really sets a nice ambiance for enjoying a meal. I ordered the butter chicken and it was absolutely delightful! The flavors reminded me of my visit to India. The service was attentive without being intrusive, and I never had to wait long for my water to be refilled. Overall, I can't wait to return for the lunch buffet next time; I’ve heard great things about it! " (*Curated Review*)

" 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*)
