While San Leandrans have been fortunate to experience the arrival of a number of new restaurants in recent years, Indian food has not typically been represented among them. But now, with the opening of Kismat Cuisine at 15099 Hesperian Boulevard, local diners can get their fix!

Open for less than two weeks, Kismat has already earned strong reviews on Yelp, for service, quality, and affordability. The restaurant renovated a former Taco Bell space into a warm and inviting full service restaurant.

From the naan and the mint sauce to its curries and mango lassi, the dishes offer a wide variety of well-balanced flavors. With over a hundred dishes on the menu, more than twenty of which are vegetarian, diners are sure to find a new favorite, or at the very least something new! Kismat also offers a reasonably priced all-you-can-eat lunch buffet with a considerable selection of staple dishes.

Located at the book-end of a small shopping center, parking is both plentiful and accessible, and with lunch and dinner hours every day of the week, lovers of Indian food will be hard pressed to find excuses to not go. And judging by the Yelp reviews, Kismat delivers in both authenticity and quality, so San Leandrans can indeed be excited to welcome this latest addition to the growing catalog of new and exciting eateries in the ‘Dro!
