Wonderfully healthy buffet that has both south and north Indian cuisine. The buffet is one of the healthiest buffets I’ve ever had at an Indian restaurant in the Bay Area. I just love the people that work here, Sincere and kind. Thank you guys for everything And being so accommodating 🙏🏽

Very pleasant customer service! The food is delicious, flavorful, and not oily or heavy. The staff are humble and respectful, which makes the experience even better. I’ve been here a couple of times and will definitely recommend this restaurant! Easy to find parking and clean bathroom!

I had an outstanding experience at this restaurant—it truly deserves the highest praise. From the moment I walked in, the warm and attentive staff made me feel welcome, and the inviting atmosphere set the perfect tone for the evening. Every dish was crafted with care and bursting with flavor, beautifully presented and showcasing the freshness of the ingredients. The service was impeccable, with staff anticipating needs without ever being intrusive, and the overall attention to detail created a dining experience that felt both special and memorable. This restaurant is a shining example of excellence, and I would recommend it without hesitation to anyone looking for an exceptional meal. Also the owner Jaiganesh is a delight to work with. Highly recommended for parties and weddings.

The food is always very good. A great variety of options. All curries and the popular butter chicken are great, as well as samosas. Many items are fairly spicy, which I enjoy, but check with the staff to see if you need to request mild. The daily 11am-3pm lunch buffet has lots of options. I really like both vegetarian and non-vegetarian choices, and desserts. The pricing is lower compared to other restaurants, while the food quality is better than what the pricing would suggest. Clean, pleasant atmosphere inside. All staff are diligent and hardworking. The servers don't come up every five minutes, which is nice, but sometimes need to wave for attention. Overall, a really nice lowkey place with good food, highly recommend to swing by.

Disclaimer: I am not in any way associated with this restaurant. Updated: Feb 2025. Went for lunch and found the buffet. The buffet was super yummy. A lot of vegetarian options. Something everyone should try on a weekend. All the item choices are good and flavorful. The rose milk was so good. A hidden gem of the bay area for Indian food. It's very unassuming with yummy Indian food, be it south Indian or north Indian. Their spicy peach cocktail is a must.

1/10/25 Update: just as good as I remember at the same great price. 8Elements is well named because it is truly perfect Indian cuisine. In the span of one month, I have dined on their delicious lunch buffet 4 times. In fact, my week doesn't feel quite right until I've had that amazing assortment of curries, biryani, and naan. The quality of everything is amazing, and they rotate their lunch buffet everyday! I've had a different selection of food every time I go, and each time, it blows me away. At $16 for their lunch buffet (Mon-Thurs), this is an unbeatable Evergreen lunch deal.

We visited here during the lunch hour after a few years due to the pandemic. They opened around 11:30 and we were one of the few to get in first. Pretty much had the place for ourselves. The folks there were welcoming and we were seated very quickly. We ordered a sweet corn soup, eggplant main dish and some wheat rotis. When the soup was just satisfactory, the eggplant dish and the wheat rotis were awesome. The potions are just sufficient for sharing family style between two people. I recommend this place for its casual ambience, good service and tasty food.

This was my first time in this restaurant and everything was wonderful. Fast and exceptional customer service. Food was very much better than other Indian restaurant around the area. Very friendly and engaging staff. Addressed our issues with a smile and quick. Usually it's 20-25 mins wait so it's better to go early. Ambience was fine. Loved their veg Manchurian balls and vada pav.

First time visiting 8 elements and really appreciate the professionalism and politeness of the staff. Food was good and most importantly I have to not wait long for my main course. I loved samosa chaat and its green chutney.
