    Lotus is a great restaurant. The people there are very kind and seem to work very hard. I just started going there and I love it soo much. I totally recommend chai tea and potato pakoras to start off with. Then for your main meal just get chicken masala, naan (any flavor), and rice. After to conclude the meal all you need is their yummy little pastry that is covered with honey. It is a great place for a family and everyone who has never tried Indian food should go to Lotus.

    My absolute favorite place to eat real indian food in Marin county! It's like being in India, without the long flight, As soon as you step in their door your taken to a far away land with scents from heaven, and at the same time you feel right at home. Your satisfied before you even taste the food.
    Then when you taste the food again transported....Check it out and see for yourselves.
