Reviews for Five Rivers Indian Cuisine
This place has one the best indian food in the city. Food is always fresh, especially the prawn saag...which is uncomparable to other indian restaurants. While other places use frozen shrimp, the shrimp in this dish always tastes fresh and is well prepared.
It took over an hour and 30 minutes to deliver the food. When it arrived most of the food was cold.
I didn?t get the extras I wanted in my dish.
Authentic & consistently-excellent Indian food. Many varied dishes & flavors. One of my two favorite Indian restaurants in the SF Bay Area. Their name originates from the Punjab regions & many of their dishes come from there.
