Sargam Indian Cuisine - Walnut Creek

Great Indian food. Been going here for years and it has been consistently great. Love the butter chicken and naan.

We've driven past here for a couple of years now. We finally decided to stop in. Now wish we'd done it sooner. The ambiance is a little cold and sparse,...

Last evening, I had the pleasure of dining at Sargam Indian Cuisine, and it was an experience that tantalized my taste buds like never before. The...

This is the only Indian place that is close upon my area of work that is mostly open than the other Indian cuisines.Now here's the thing with this particular restaurant. It is not for people who are trying to make quick time. The staff here are very lax and will take time to fulfill your orders and also will take time if you need anything else. So if you're here to basically get in and get out you will not like this place and I advise it for people who are just chilling out relaxing and have all the time on their hands.Now this is a family restaurant it is run by a different culture and its service is generally different than most American services, some people may regard this as insensitive or rude but personally I just regard this as something that they do usually since I love any international kind of food and have more experience with these but these doesn't work really bothering me that bit.I ordered a tikka masala with a delicious mango smoothie. It is important to note that the tiki masala has a level of spice that they ask you. Now if you are like me and you can handle your spice I will go with spicy but if you can't and can handle a little spice a bit go with mild and if you just can't handle your spice at all. Try to tell him to just no on a spice.Overall the proportions were very filling the rice mixed very well with the sauces of the tikka masala and there was enough meat with the rice. Both the rice and the tikka masala comes separate bowls. Overall the tiki masala has that usual Indian sweet spicy tangy taste which meant to my satisfaction. Also the smoothie mango one, was very delicious $4 it is a bit pricey but it's very worth the excellent taste.There is nothing too much to say about this place. Food is great. Service is slow and very relaxed. And I pretty much would come here every time I can but I'm feeling very peckish about Indian cuisine.Overall, 10 out of 10 in my book

I hate to leave less than five for Sargams…I’ve been going here for over ten years but something has changed. Food was NOT the usual…first time I have had to drain oil from the dishes like an overwatered plant. I hope they figure this out cause tonight was a real let down
