Absolute Favorite Indian Food!
We visit this restaurant weekly, and it's our absolute favorite! It serves the best Indian food I've ever had. My personal favorites are the chicken tiki masala and Chana Samosa. The naan bread is also outstanding. Portions of both meat and rice are generous, ensuring you get your money's worth. The restaurant itself is very clean and welcoming. The owner is incredibly nice, and we love supporting him and this local business. Even my sister, who lives in L. A. , now considers it her favorite when she visits. I'm actually enjoying their food as I write this!

Okay Food, Nice Staff
My experience at the restaurant was okay. The food was decent, though the tandoori wasn't spicy at all. I found the garlic naan to be thin and crunchy. On the positive side, the individual at the front was nice.

Our Favorite Indian Restaurant for Years
We’ve been coming here for years, and it’s hands down our favorite Indian restaurant. The food is always delicious—fresh, flavorful, and consistently great no matter what we order. The staff are warm and welcoming, and they always make us feel at home. It’s the kind of place where you know you’ll have a good meal every single time. We feel lucky to have it in our neighborhood.

Spicy Curry Disaster
I was asked about the spiciness level of my curry, and I clearly stated '0, no spicy' twice. Despite this, I received a VERYEXTRASUPERSPICY dish. While I can normally handle spicy food, this was unbearable. I took it to go and tried adding cream at home, but it didn't help. I'm also questioning if it was even curry, as it looked more like red oil with chicken. This is disappointing, especially since I've had good masala from here before. It seems I was just unlucky today.

Ridiculous Price for Tiny Portions
My experience at this restaurant was disappointing due to the high prices for the portion sizes. I ordered the Malai Kofta, and for $16, I was surprised to receive only 4 tiny dumplings in a large bowl of sauce. The lunch special, which included Chana Masala and Saag Paneer, had good flavor and mild heat in the Chana Masala, but the Saag Paneer was bland and contained only 3 small, skinny pieces of paneer. I found it shocking how they justify charging so much for a meal that is primarily sauce. This will be my last visit.

Great Food, Convenient Location
My experience at this restaurant was very positive. It's a small place, but the food was great. The location is convenient for employees at Kaiser and County San Diego. They offer great lunch specials at a great price, and the Masala was delish!
