On the final day of our trip to Fresno, we returned from Sequoia National Park, skipping all the restaurants along the way, eager to find out what the five-star hype was about. Is it worth it? Absolutely, 100%! This restaurant perfectly combines a fabulous ambiance, attentive service, and delicious food. The interior ambience is tastefully done from the walls to even the most minor details. We ordered almost 8 to 9 dishes, and everything was top notch. Tandoori Chicken was incredibly fresh and juicy. Every dish was expertly prepared and utterly delicious. Their patience and consistency amaze me even at the last dine-in seating time. Our server, Balreen, was kind and patient with our orders, even though it was quite late. She was attentive throughout our meal. They do have a bar with seating. The restaurant is kid-friendly and wheelchair accessible.

Everything from the food to the service was absolutely top-notch. The standout dish was their Butter Chicken—rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Each bite was pure comfort, and the flavors were deeply satisfying without being overwhelming. What made it even better was pairing it with their hot, flaky Lachcha Paratha. It was beautifully layered and crispy on the edges, perfect for scooping up every last bit of that amazing sauce. You can tell the care that goes into each dish. But what truly made our experience exceptional was our server, Amar. She was incredibly welcoming, attentive, and knowledgeable about the menu. Amar went out of her way to make great recommendations and ensured everything arrived just right and on time. Her warm personality and professionalism elevated the whole experience. If you’re craving authentic Indian cuisine with generous hospitality, this place is a must-visit. Ask for Amar—you won’t be disappointed!

Love the amazing exterior. The atmosphere inside is very chill. Service was prompt and didn't have long to wait for our order. Balreen suggested the Goat Biryani out of two options I gave her, and it was very tasty! Thank you! Definitely start with mild spice level. My lips were tingling. The naan was wonderfully thin, and the after meal breath freshener was a lovely surprise. I will be coming back for more.

Delicious food served piping hot and fresh. The environment was clean, quiet and comfortable. The food was outstanding, served with visually appealing presentation. The restaurant is gorgeous. Thank you to Amar for your great hospitality and friendliness while serving us. I recommend Gulab Indian Bistro to anyone looking for great Indian food!

We recently visited Gulab Indian Bistro for the first time, and we were not disappointed! The decor and ambiance were warm and inviting—perfect for a date night. The food was absolutely delicious, served on hot plates that added to the experience. Our server, Dev, was fantastic. He was attentive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. His service truly elevated our dining experience. Overall, the food and service were both outstanding. I would highly recommend Gulab Indian Bistro. It’s definitely a place worth returning to—and date-worthy, too!

This is the best place we've been in a long time. Our waiter Dev was amazing, we've never tried Indian food before and he explained the dishes to us perfectly and made sure we were happy. At the end of dinner, Dev asked if we wanted dessert but we declined since we were full but he still came back with a complimentary digestive aid as well as a small dessert. The food was amazing. We will definitely be returning.

This spot brings serious big city food vibes right to Fresno — fresh, bold, and full of flavor. Every dish was on point, and the quality really stands out. Our server, Dev, was amazing — super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. Definitely a new favorite!

A highly recommended restaurant from my peers. Just so happened a invite was extended to us by a fellow Yelp Elite so my wife and took the opportunity to see for ourselves what the hype was all about with this place. Service: Our group made a reservation for a party 8. We were promptly seated upon our arrival. Our server "Barleen" (sorry if I mispelled your name) was very accomodating and very welcoming of us as new guests. She gave us recommendations when asked. 5 of 5 stars Food/Offering: As a group, we ordered two orders or rice, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, veggie samosas, a few other vegeterian dishes (which I didn't quite get the names), a biryani dish (forgot the meat choice), channa masala, goat and a cauliflower concoction. In addition, we ordered veggie naan. We were also provided additional naan on the house, a toasty bread topped with condenseand and sweet sugar candy. The dishes were very flavorful! The goat however was a little on the tougher side, almost jerkyish. I also tried for the first time a Taj Mahal beer (lager) which was very good. 5 of 5. Overall: A bit on the pricier side than others but I don't mind paying a little more for good food and a good experience. It was nice to dine with my fellow Yelp Elites. I swear people were just looking at us with our cell phones snapping pictures left and right =) Also, this place caters a lot to the indian community of Fresno/Clovis especially to those that work in the medical field so I guess the trust is there that this place is good. I will most definitely come back when the craving is there.

The service here is pathetic along with the food , some items were good. This place had mango lassi with milk, we forgot to read ingredients ( the word lassi consists of milk or buttermilk, not sure why they made it with milk). That was our first disappointment. We ordered noodles in appetizers and they were overcooked and mushy. Dalmakhani in main course it has too many tomatoes in it.

On 6/13/25 I came here with several of my Yelp peeps as a yelper we love trying new places. Upon entering it was like walking into a high class restaurant. I was greeted immediately by the host. He pointed out where my group was seated. The staff was absolutely phenomenal! We had garlic, naan and veggie samosas, which both dishes were absolutely delicious. I ended up ordering the Gulab twist it was 9/10! It was like a twist on a gin and tonic, but Indian style. I highly recommend if you like gin and tonics. We decide to order family style to try out various dishes as this was our first time dining here and definitely not my last. Staff definitely made us for welcome. The atmosphere was great. It was very lovely. The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered butter, chicken, I believe chicken masala , Saag which is a spinach dish absolutely delicious, the chickpea dish was yummy as well and the cauliflower and potato dish was my number one favorite of the night. The others ordered curry, goat, and other meat dishes, which I really didn't sample since I'm a vegetarian, but I did taste a little bit of the broth and it was delicious. The staff let us try various dessert items which the hospitality was absolutely amazing . I cannot wait to come back to Gulab Indian bistro. It will definitely be on my rotation to dine out. Overall, it was a lot of fun to sample various dishes, meet the staff and share a loving meal with my Yelp peeps . Thank you, Gulab. Indian bistro for the lovely night. Cannot wait to come back!

Definitely recommend this place! This place feels higher end with affordable prices. Our server Jap took really good care of us. He forgot to include a drink in our order and told us it's on the house. He also gave us a dessert on the house. The food portions looked small but it was a good amount. The ambiance is amazing with excellent music. It' gives cool bar vibes. First bite of garlic naan bread with tamarind sauce made me love this place immediately. Garlic naan bread: 5/5 Baingan bharta (eggplant): 4/5 Palak paneer: 4/5 Butter chicken: 4/5 Veggie samosa: 5/5 Rice: 5/5

The good is that the food is delicious. The bad is that the service is poor. We did not have a reservation, so it resulted in us sitting at the bar, which was fine. Except that I had to flag the guy down to order, to get the check, and then to close out the check. Furthermore, the reserved table he wouldn't give us was still reserved without anybody sitting at that table the entire time when we left an hour later. If the owner saw how the staff was running the dining room, I am sure he would make changes. Recommend not taking reservations for such a small restaurant! Did I mention the food was very good? It was!

This was a great experience. Good and service were amazing. This get together was arranged by Kevin our fellow Yelp Elite. This place is fancy and very intimate. Their decoration inside looks very pretty. If kevin didn't included me on this get together I would've never come and tried this place. I was very happy with everything. We ordered some dishes to share. They were some that i don't remember the name but the ones I tried I did remember. Some of them order drinks and I just got Water. It tasted purified. That I did enjoyed. So there was some appetizers. Some Naan and some veggie Samosas. Then the other others star coming in. The Saag was good the rice yummy and the Chana Masala was very tasty. They said that the butter chicken was very good. Also they brought us some more Naan on the house. At the end of our dinner they offered a type of dessert. They said it was on the greasy side. Also it was some Alo Gobi it was very delicious. I have tried it on another places and it was on the greasy side. This one was perfect. So delicious. The waiter was very helpful and very generous. I needed my water refill but they didn't asked and we were so busy talking every time they came I forgot to ask. Also I forgot I could use the button they gave us to call the auger if we need anything. Overall I loved the visit and the company. I for sure will be coming back. Thank you for the free items.

Friday evening a few fellow Yelper Friends and I had dinner here. First time here and honestly never heard of them. My Yelp Elite Friend Andrew K. set this gathering up and made reservations the morning of party of 8 adults and 2 kids. We all voted between two places and majority of us wanted to give this place a try. At the entrance this place didn't seem much but upon entry not only were we greeted by the lovely staff I thought this place stunningly beautiful and quite elegant. Menus were provided and later our server Barleen greeted us with water all around. I brought my 2 littles and she was considerate enough to put them in to-go cup containers so it wouldn't spill without having to request. As Yelpers of course we were all open to trying everything and anything on the menu. We decided to do family style. We each ordered a dish or 2 for everyone to try. For apps we ordered veggie samosas and garlic naan. The samosas were delicious it had a tad spicy kick to it my favorite is the green sauce, pairs perfectly with the samosas. The garlic naan was toasty wish there was more garlic flavor to it but it was good. A few of the main courses that we ordered were: butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag, aloo gobi, lamb biryani, channa masala and goat curry. Everything came out hot and beautifully presented they give you spice level options. It was nice to venture out and try different dishes other than my usual butter chicken order, which was delicious by the way. The goat curry had a good flavor but the goat meat it self was a bit too tough to my liking. The lamb biryani was mostly all rice didn't get to try the lamb. Some Indian food restaurants that I've tried their dishes would be greasy, this place was not. My favorite would have to be the aloo gobi. I've never had it before and cauliflower is meh, I'll eat it but not my go to, it's amazing how they can elevate it. My Yelp friends mentioned how the cocktails here were delicious I didn't try any but my husband ordered a drink and was raving about how amazing it was. They gave us complimentary naan and dessert also what they call refreshers. Which was so kind of them They provide a call button on the table where you can push it if you need your server to come. I thought that was great, convenient and I feel it prevents your server from either coming too often or not enough to check on you. We pushed it and our server came. Overall it was a great experience. We were all stuffed with some leftovers. The food was delicious and the service was wonderful. It was so much fun getting together with Yelp Friends doing what we love to do. Would recommend and would love to return again soon.

Beautiful inside, tasty food, but the service was slow and the price for the tiny amount of food that was served was way too high.

Very nicely decorated restaurant in the Plaza near Shaw and Fowler. We were seated immediately in a booth of our choice. They have a special from 11-4 which includes 7 items for $15. We just ordered off the menu, because my favorite usual dish was not among the 7. We ordered chicken tikka masala, shrimp madras curry, lamb samosas, jeera rice and of course naan. Both curry dishes, especially the tikka masala, tasted like there was no spice, even though we asked for medium spice level. We sent the tikka masala back for them to add more spices, but even then it honestly just tasted like tomato sauce to me. The rice was good. Naan was ok. The service is ok, but they put a call button on your table of which I was first not aware. You are supposed to push it if you need anything opposed to them coming back and checking on you. Therefore I had to push it to ask for more water. I would have given 1 more star if I had liked any of the dishes, but alas I didn't like anything, and for 3 of us it was $70 for lunch. Conclusion: If you like Indian food, this place is not for you. If you are one of those people who complain that even the mild version of dishes is too spicy for you, this is your place

Do not waste your time with this place . food had no flavor. Bland and tasteless dishes. Service was pathetic. We got our appetizers and main course together . But forget to bring an ordered dish. Had to request to have the water refilled . The server lurking around the table waiting for you to leave but don't bother refilling water or asking if anything we need.

Officially my favorite Indian restaurant in Fresno. Couldn't pronounce a single word on the menu, but I'm glad I had my fellow translator help me butcher every name. You wouldn't think this nice restaurant would be located at the side of the Walmart, but here it is. They also have a controller at the table so you can silently call the staff if you're ready for anything. Note to self, don't eats big cube of cane sugar.

The best Indian food in Fresno or Clovis! The ingredients are all fresh, and the service is great. The decor really created a nice ambiance and a warm atmosphere. The butter chicken with the garlic naan was exceptional every single time! I shall return...

Been here at least five times. Always been amazing food and service. Food is like homemade fresh food, no overstuffed heavy feeling after. Naan is always fresh and shahi paneer is amazing which is what we always get along with other dishes. Service had been great. But recently, last couple time we noticed the service is delayed, waiters are sitting around, food took a long time, it was slow and vibe was just off. Food was still good. It's on the other side of the town like 25-30 min drive but we always think of going to Gulab whenever we want to go out to eat Indian food.

My friends and I decided to come try out this hidden gem during the evening on Tuesday 6/10! It was our first experience here and it was everything we could ask for! I really enjoyed the dark ambiance inside the restaurant, it felt very cozy. My friends and I ordered a few things off the menu and shared along. For my first time having Indian cuisine, I was in love! Everything tasted delicious. Our server Aman was very welcoming and friendly. She was VERY attentive which we loved. I will definitely be returning because of the great service and great food! I recommend this place if you're looking for great food and for a great price point to fit everyone's budget. It's perfect for a friend's night out or date night!

I thought I had written a review, but I love GULAB! I've been maybe 3 times and food has always been delicious. The ambiance is nice and dark, with really cute restrooms. For appetizers I've indulged in is Fish Pakora and Veggie Samosas, Both were delicious!! On my first visit, we ordered Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala.... To die for, I absolutely love the chicken tikka over white rice with Garlic Naan. Food is delicious, very expensive I wish the entrees came with rice instead of ordering separately Service has been so so, they're just starting out so I can't blame them with uncertainty, The first visit took awhile for the person to bring us our menus and then awhile to come back and check our order Also on my last visit with my mom, They brought us some sweets, Maybe because they noticed I had been back with 3 different people. I love it, delicious food.

First visit here. Beautiful place inside and out. Looks very upscale. Booths everywhere. We were greeted and seated promptly. We ordered the Samosas as an appetizer, delicious! The entrees were butter chicken, chicken Vindaloo, with a side of rice and garlic naan. Everything was amazing! The price was not extravagant. I will definitely repeat

The food is outstanding. The service is amazing. Atmosphere is upbeat a little bit dark but still good just on the intimate side. The music is nice. I've been here so many times the food is always very consistent. When the owner is there, he always walks around to make sure everybody's doing well. I haven't had a bad dish yet.

Service was a little slow and our server made me feel a little awkward. Indian food is a little new to me and I didn't know what some of the dishes were. So I would ask for recommendations and she said everything is good but it just depends on me.... Then would give me this blank stare.... I didn't like the service button that we had to press when we were ready to order our drinks, ready to order food, needed napkins/plates/anything and for our tab. Maybe they are trying something new, but I just didn't care for it. Food came out quickly and it was sizzling on the hot plate. The fragrance of the food was amazing. Flavor was pretty good. I didn't care for the saucy chicken and potatoes. It was way too flavorful. We definitely needed to order a side of rice and bread. Which didn't come with the dish. The bread and the grill chicken was my favorite. Our server checked on us about 3 times, which was a bit much.... Isn't that why we have a button if we needed something?? Towards the end of our dinner, (thank God) was a screaming toddler. He was standing on the table in the booth next to us. Taking his spoon banging it against the wall, stomping his feet on the table and screaming. The parents literally did not try to stop him. Even servers didn't tell the parents anything. Just glad that was happening at the end of our meal otherwise we would have gotten up and left. Glad I got to experience it, but definitely not worth the visit for me.

Nice restaurant. Convenient location. Have been there in person and hand food to go. Everything is spicier than I can handle. If you like spicy then this is the place for you. I like teasing the food without the burn or the after burn. With so many Indian restaurants to pick from this is not my go to.

We were welcomed and greeted upon entering. The ambiance is very elegant, clean, comfortable, and the music definitely adds a touch to the theme of the restaurant. The service was quick, but it helped that we had an idea of what we wanted to try. Our waiter's name is Davinder Singh. He was nice and attentive. We ordered veggie samosas, butter chicken (mild), fish pakora, plain naan, chicken tikka (gravy). Everything was very flavorful and fresh. The samosas had a good spicy kick to it. Loved the crispy on the outside and soft texture on the inside. Fish pakora were crispy and not over cooked. Naan was perfectly toasted. Butter chicken and chicken tikka tasted similar. The gravy was flavorful, but I probably would've gone up to medium on the spice level. They gave us some complimentary dessert and it was super sweet and warm. My only minor complaints would be their silverware, the length of your food coming out, and we had asked if rice came with our entree and the waiter said yes, but apparently it didn't because we were charged for it. Although, the silverware look nice, holding them were "slippery" at times or you couldn't really grip them to eat. As though they're rolling around in your hand. Be prepare to wait for your food as it does take some time. Party of 2 and our time there was about 1.5 hours. Most of the time was on waiting for our food. Overall the experience was good.

Our friends told us about this place so we thought we'd check it out. They did a great job renovating the space, they clearly put money into it. The staff was friendly, but need some extra training to make the service smoother. We decided to try the chicken tiki masala and the dal tadka, with plain rice and garlic naan. All the food items were delicious! The flavors were great and the garlic naan is dangerously good! We also decided to try the special cocktails... I ordered The Grasshopper and my husband tried the Gulab Old Fashioned. His drink was... different, but tasty. My drink on the other hand presented pretty, but was NOT good. With the ingredients listed, I was expecting a sugar rim, but NOPE! I took a sip and it was iodized salt on the rim! When I let our server know that I think they accidentally put salt instead of sugar, he said it was how they make it. Come for the food, skip the cocktails until they have more experience and get someone in there that understands making a good cocktail. We will be back for the great food, they definitely have a passion for that.

Easily and by far the best Indian food I have ever had. I came here with my family for dinner and we were all extremely impressed. The inside environment is very nice and feels fancy. The menu has extremely well labeled vegan options. The food is absolutely incredible. I had the mix veg, which I honestly wasn't expecting a lot from but I was completely blown away by how delicious it was. The rest of my family tried the lamb biryani, butter chicken, a seafood curry, noodles, and garlic naan, all of which I was told were fantastic. The only thing is that even if you request no spice the food is still a little bit spicy, so my little sister had some trouble with the food. At the end they bring out complimentary jaggery and fennelseed as a dessert. Highly highly recommend!

Absolutely excellent Indian food. I was greatly impressed by the quality of the food, the friendliness of the staff, and the overall charm of the restaurant. The whole experience, was just wonderful. I went Sunday afternoon with a few friends and I'm pretty happy I did. The interior of the restaurant is nice. I mean, real nice. Between the darker color tones, the subdued lighting, and your patterns on the ceiling tiles, this place has strong personality. Overall, the place looked very clean, and well kept. The waitress that helped us was very helpful, kind, and even recommended her favorite item on the menu. She recommended we try the fish Pekora and I am so glad she recommended it. It was absolutely delicious. Not only was fish cooked perfectly, but the flavors from the spices really shined through; yet not overpowering. We tried the butter chicken and it was creamy and decadent, and two different types of naan. The chili naan was just okay, and not very spicy at all. I mostly tasted butter with a very subtle undertone of heat. But the butter chicken, the butter chicken is probably one of the best butter chicken I've had in Fresno. The butter naan was delicious, but I think they accidentally sent me the roti instead of the naan; Either way, it was very tasty All in all, this place was wonderful and it's totally worth a visit. It's great food, at a decent price, with a wonderful ambience. I can't wait to go again.

Nice place but I did not eat in. Prompt service. Great goat biryani though need to use less oil. The tikka masala were tasty, medium spicy was enough for me. It maybe a bit much for some as my spice level tolerance is high. Love the cucumber salad, it took the heat off the tikka masala. I will go back again

Ordered dinner here last night, got tandoor chicken, garlic naan, white rice, Chili chicken, and chicken curry. The interior of the restaurant was well done and it had a full service bar. However, the food was not to the mark. The white rice was way undercooked and not good for digestion. The chili chicken all you can taste was tomato ketchup. The chicken was not battered and deep fried it was more on the steamed side. The chicken curry was horrible. The chicken used in the curry seemed like was cooked already and dropped into a sauce and heated again. The chicken lacked any flavor. The garlic naan was the worst of want I had so far in my life. The Tandoor grill chicken was ok and had some flavor the marination was flavorful but the chicken didn't seem to be fresh . Bottom line will not visit this place again.

We came for dinner on a Wednesday night at about 545. There was only one table sat when we got there, but they were at the end of their meal. We were promptly seated and given menus. The hostess/waitress (same person) brought us waters, and asked us what we wanted to order. We got two orders of butter chicken, two orders of plain naan, and we weren't sure how much rice to order so I asked if the portion of rice was enough for two people and she seemed confused by this question- so we chanced it and just ordered one order (it was plenty for the two of us). It took a while for the food to come out, but it was worth the wait. We thought it was delicious. The ambiance of the restaurant is really romantic, I just wish the music wasn't soooooo loud. I also wish the waitress was more friendly, and didn't just give a deadpan stare whenever you had a question. She definitely acted like she didn't want to be there. I'd probably eat here again, since it's close to my house, but I'll probably order it for takeout.

Growing up, I never tried Indian food and boy have I missed out. After receiving some recommendations to try out Gulab Indian Bistro, I knew I had to try it. As soon as I walked in, I was blown away. The restaurant was elegant from the ceiling tiles to the bathroom mirror. The waitress was unbelievably nice to me. Now for the food. I ordered the chicken tikka and garlic naan. I have never had such unbelievable flavors in my mouth. I'm truly heartbroken that this Iowa originated man hasn't gone out of his comfort zone way sooner to try out Indian food! I will definitely be back to Gulab Indian Bistro in the near future!

When I tell y'all this was the best Indian food I've ever had in my entire life...I'm well traveled and have had a LOT of Indian food in the U.S., but nothing has ever been as good as this place. Im sad I'm flying back home tomorrow, because I would've come back to eat here again tomorrow without hesitation. I'm either going round 2 with my leftovers tonight, or it's getting packed into my carry on to take home tomorrow - it is THAT good. I rarely come to Fresno because....it's Fresno...but I was in town visiting family, and this is place is making me rethink skipping out on Christmas just so I can come back What we ordered (sorry ate everything too fast for pics): -Veggie Samosas: start -Chicken Tikka: So so so good. Lots of flavor. Only downside was, it was fresh off the stove and I kept burning my tongue trying to eat it too fast haha. I was too eager, and it was too good! -The Chicken Vindaloo (mild): the chicken was SO tender and flavorful! Spiced perfectly. Probably my favorite of them all! -Garlic Naan: I didn't have this one, because I couldn't have the butter, but my bf seemed to enjoy it. -Plain Naan: Super fresh and I didn't feel like I was missing out without the butter at all -Plain rice: It's rice. It was cooked well. No complaints. Nothing to write home about. Ambiance: The outside is lit up like the Vegas strip haha which I appreciated. The inside was decorated beautifully with lots of ornate embellishments, wallpapers, and art pieces. It's tastefully done. Service: Service was maybe a 4/5. Everyone was very nice, and maybe they were just a little busy with the rush so we had to flag folks down a lot but overall still very good. The food came out very quickly! I'm telling y'all to come up here and get some of this! Highly recommend. I'll be back FOR SURE

Fast becoming my favorite restaurant. We are trying new dishes every time we are here. Lamb Samosas are a must have. The Butter Chicken was excellent.

I've been here twice and would happily come again any time. Even my husband made sure to tell his friends from work about it. The food is very good and has great flavor. They did a beautiful job decorating and I love the aesthetic.

We had dinner here with some friends the other night. When you walk in, it feels like you've walked in to a speak easy restaurant/bar. The colors and motif of the restaurant are very calming. The food was absolutely delicious. My favorites included the chicken tikka, fish tandoori and chana masala. The service was wonderful. Our waiter (Dev) went above and beyond accommodating our large group. I will definitely be back.
