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!

This restaurant is the best Indian food to speak of. Beautiful plating, exceptional service , and amazing food. It's quickly become my favorite go to. Harpreet is always so attentive and kind. Five stars.

The dishes were delicious and drink menu was creative! We took our friends for a date night. Can't wait to go back!

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

Ordered takeout again. Just delicious! Everything is such good quality and fairly quick preparation. Tried vegetable biryani for the first time - definitely recommend! So yum!!!

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.
