where to eat Indian? Here’s your Naan-o-matic Guide to Indian Eats in Sonoma and Napa.
BiteClub gives a rating from 1-5 (being the best) for Naan (fresh Indian bread served with the meal); Tikka Masala (which, though hardly authentic, is the General Tso Chicken of Indian cuisine and a benchmark for most non-native eaters); whethere they have live entertainment (sitar, bellydancing) or a lunch buffet; price (from $ to $$$$ — Indian food can be surprisingly spendy) and some of the restaurant’s specialties.

| Pamposh | 4 | 5 | No | No | $$$$ | Top pick for Sonoma County. Don’t miss the tandoori or apricot chicken. Well-trained staff and always-spot-on dishes from this SR kitchen. Tikka is dead on. |
| Sizzling Tandoor | 3 | 4 | Yes | Yes | $$$ | Butter chicken beats tikka hands down. Extensive menu can sometimes be overwhelming.Regional specialties are worth checking out. Live entertainment including belly dancers and sitar music adds fun. Lunch buffet is solid, but not extraordinaty. |
| Shangri-La | 4 | 4 | No | No | $$ | Reasonably priced and close to SSU. Solid Tikka and wonderful naan. |
| Himalayan Tandoor and Curry House | 3 | 3 | No | No | $$ | Nepalese dishes, plenty of vegetarian options that reflect tastes of Sebastopolians. |
| Yeti | 5 | 3 | No. | No | $$$ | Best naan in Sonoma. Don’t miss the honey naan. Hidden away in Glen Ellen it can be hard to find, but seriously. The naan. |
