We stopped at this place for lunch enroute to Napa Valley. The food and ambiance is excellent, the dishes were freshly made and was served really hot. The restaurant is also in the heart of the town but it was tough finding a parking spot.
Everything was good except the service. We had to call the waiter multiple times to take our order and they were busy chatting and laughing with some customers, this could have been improved.

Delicious Indian/Nepalese food with the awesome hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed every indian as well as nepalese authentic cuisine with our friends and loved the outdoor dining space. Foods are reasonably priced and served fresh. You can also enjoy authetic Nepalese Beer and other food items that’s not very common to find. Highly recommend this place, specially for nepalese cuisines.

Every time we come to batika the outstanding food and service is so wonderful. The best Indian restaurant in Marin and being British we are particularly picky. Great for couples, families or singles, great take away options and the cute patio on warm days – huge variety of food and drinks – don’t waste time visit today

Lunch special is the deal! Reasonably priced and pleasant service. Naan could have been better, but overall good experience dining here.

Vegetarian platter was excellent. Naan, rice and 2 sabjis with dessert. The veg tikka masala and palak paneer were delicious. Dessert was a let down. The rice was grainy. I loved the mulligatawny soup. Hot and spicy just like we wanted it. I would highly recommend this place.

I always come here for my family, whether it is takeout or dine in. The service is always impeccable. The people are so kind and so generous with their attention. The atmosphere is gorgeous both inside and out. They let us sit there for an hour after we finished eating to let us chitchat forever and they were courteous and kind and encouraged us to be comfortable. This place is so delicious though! you need to get yourself over here! Furthermore, I’m so glad that this restaurant has been here for so long and that it’s not going anywhere! You know how hard Novato can be with its restaurants!

The food is simply below average.
I got the kebab platter, lamb dish, and chicken biryani.
Kebab Platter – Chicken was dry. Lamb was so chewy, I didnt bother.
Lamb Dish- No coherent flavor profile. Just a bunch of spices dumped with onions and ginger garlic.
Chicken Biryani – Probably the best of the three. Chicken actually wasn’t tough and the flavor was good. Rice was overcooked and not how they should be in a biryani.
Salty and Greasy seems to be the theme. Seriously, thats not what Indian food should be like.
If you’re looking for Good indian food and dont mind a drive try out:
Prabh Kitchen in Mill Valley
Clay Oven and Grill in Vacaville
Masala Dosa in San Francisco.
In my experience there’s not a single half-decent Indian restaurant in Novato or San Rafael.
I have nothing to gain, I’m just a very picky eater.

The place was nice, only one person serving the food. It’s not authentic Indian food but definitely good for folks who like less spicy Indian. Tried fun biriyani and it was more or like the regular pulao with chicken. Breads are good. Naan and parathas are ok.

The vegetarian thali lunch special here was so good. I wouldn’t normally order a veg tika masala, but this restaurant has changed my mind.
Highly recommend Batika!
