Amazing food, very reasonably priced. Great taste and you can get it as hot as you want. Definitely coming back. Little update: I’ve tried a few different plates by now and every time I leave happier than the time before. It’s a must go place! I’m extremely happy with the fried cauliflower (Gobi … something?) . The broccoli option is good but I absolutely loved the cauliflower one. I’m not a vegetarian, but I would not mind skipping on meat for one meal if that’s what I was having.

My husband and I were looking for a new place to try, and we've never had Indian food before. So this was the first time we visited this restaurant. We ordered the "sampler", I think it's called 'Flight to India' at the suggestion of the person who took our order. It definitely did not disappoint. Everything was so delicious! Each of the 5 different samples had different flavors. Two were mildly spicy, but so good. One dish maybe a curry was slightly sweet. The tamale was awesome and the one we both liked the best was the Tandoori fried chicken. We also ordered some Paratha. It was delivered fresh and hot, so delicious. Everything that came on our plate were new flavors to us and it was amazing. We finished it all. We will most definitely be going back to have more delicious food. Highly recommend to anyone who has not tried this Cafe. They were also very nice people working there. Thank you Nandri!

Absolutely fantastic food and the owners are incredibly friendly. Hands down the best biryani I have ever had. You can taste all the spices. The chai tea is made fresh and is a must try with your meal. I missed the steak curry, limited quantities daily, but got to try the steak biryani and was so happy about it.

During my sister’s bachelorette party in San Diego, we decided to dine here, and it turned out to be an excellent choice. The biryani was absolutely delicious, packed with flavor and perfectly cooked. The customer service was outstanding; the staff were attentive and friendly, making us feel truly welcomed. They even had a live band, and we had a great time singing along.My friends and I loved it. If you’re looking for top-notch Indian cuisine and exceptional service in a lively atmosphere, this place is a must-visit!

Butter chicken was delicious! Lots of food, perfectly seasoned with lots of flavor. Parathas were flaky yumminess. Pakoras were cooked just right. We met the owners... Very nice couple. Nothing fancy but would be here every day if I could.

Ok…I’m PICKY with meat. This place was good! FLAVOR bursts! The meat was TENDER. Even the rice was bomb, and I don’t like rice that much. I LOVE Indian food, and the only other good place I know of is the Himalayan restaurant, but it’s expensive there… this food was just as delicious, in fact, I think it was BETTER, and the prices are very reasonable. I highly recommend this place! Fun atmosphere and kid friendly. They have board games available etc. The staff was so kind and served us with gladness. Highly recommend. Oh, try the curry tamales!
