The owners of La Bella Italia are themselves Indian (from the Punjab, I&#8217;d guess, as they are Sikh) &#8211; but their true love is Italian food.  Alas, La Bella Italia was not very successful in its current location, I rarely saw anyone there, so they seem to finally give in and give San Leandro what it really needs: an Indian restaurant.  They&#8217;ll continue serving Italian food, however.  We had desert there last month, and it was quite good, so they&#8217;ll hopefully keep that.<br \/>\nAs for the new menu, it includes your usual North Indian dishes (they have chicken tikka masala and lamb korma, my favorites), but a bunch of others as well.  Indeed, I wonder if their menu is not too ambitious.  They have a daily lunch buffet for $7 (11 AM &#8211; 3 PM).<br \/>\nI hope I&#8217;ll get to go this week &#8211; I&#8217;ll let you know what I think.<br \/>\nMy Ultimate Tandoori<br \/>\n15015 East 14th St.<br \/>\nSan Leandro, CA<br \/>\n510-278-5899<br \/>\nDaily 11 AM &#8211; 3 PM and 4 PM &#8211; 10 PM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It has happened!
