Five Rivers - Reviews

We ordered their Lamb Tikka Masala, their Butter Chicken, and their chef's bread basket today. The flavor was good. However, while eating through the leftovers today, we found a piece of thin, curled-up metal in the curry. I do not think it's safe to eat from this establishment when you have to worry about eating metal. If I hadn't happened to feel it in my mouth, I would've swallowed it or cut my gums. We had to throw the rest of the food out as we didn't want to risk eating metal.

My experience at Five Rivers Indian Cuisine was a mixed bag. While the food orders have consistently been delicious, there was a concerning incident where a piece of steel wire was found inside an order of naan, likely from cleaning the cooking equipment. Despite this, the food itself has been very good. The service is solid and relatively quick, though not outstanding. I suggest giving them a try, but be aware of the owners' history with their previous Westlake Shopping Center location, which reportedly closed due to long-term rodent infestation issues.

My experience at the restaurant was marked by slow service. I had to wait for half an hour before receiving my meal.

My experience at this restaurant was the worst service ever. I ordered from the other location (314 Westlake Center, Daly City, CA 94015) via DoorDash, and they always send my food correctly. However, this Judah location failed to follow my instructions. My order was supposed to be no rice and extra small chicken tikka masala sauce, but they did not adhere to these requests. The customer service was unprofessional, and they ignored my specific instructions. I do not recommend wasting your time here.

Despite the restaurant undergoing construction due to its recent reopening, my experience was overwhelmingly positive. The food was excellent, and our server's attentiveness more than compensated for the temporary lack of atmosphere. The popularity of the place was evident even upon arrival, with six mobile pickups double-parked outside, indicating its strong demand.

My experience at this restaurant was not stellar. The staff behind the counter waited several minutes before asking me if they could help me get a table. Due to the lack of attention, I ended up choosing another restaurant for dinner.

Our go-to Indian spot offers consistently delicious food. We ordered Garlic naan, butter chicken, paneer saag, and chai, all of which were fantastic. However, the downside is that the service is slooow and unreliable. We've learned to add 40 minutes to the estimated wait time, which helps manage expectations and leads to a happier experience. If you're patient with the service, the food is definitely worth it.

My experience at this restaurant was largely positive, primarily due to the outstanding food. The portions were generous, and the quality was excellent. I did encounter a technical issue with their online ordering system, which prevented orders from being received. I would recommend calling orders in or at least checking if the system is functioning correctly. Hopefully, they can resolve these technical problems soon because the food itself is truly delicious.

My experience at this restaurant was exceptional. I found the Indian food to be the best in the area, and I would even go as far as saying it's the best in the entire city. The meal was for dinner and was a take-out order, with the price per person ranging from $10–20.

We visited this restaurant for lunch with my wife and 7-year-old son, who enjoys trying new foods. I had planned to order the tandoori chicken along with a few other dishes. However, upon being informed that the tandoori chicken would take 30 minutes, our plans quickly changed as we were short on time. After seeking recommendations, we ordered several dishes, but unfortunately, two of them were not to our liking. If you are set on having the tandoori chicken, be prepared for the wait, as other dishes also do not arrive particularly quickly.
