13 Best Indian Restaurants near Carlsbad

“This Himalayan Sherpa cuisine has great food but slow service. It is in a funky location that looks like it may have been a diner, with booths and tables. They decorated the walls with fabric wall hanging that are also for sale. We ate Lamb! This is not the place to come for steak.lol. Lamb! Veges! Naan bread! Delicious food. Just be patient. Slow service and every table was filled. Busy! We enjoyed a vege dish, Nawaeratan Korma, which proved tastier than expected. Veges, including tofu in the most delicious coconut curry sauce. The two lamb dishes we got: Lamb Saag and Lamb Tikka Masala were delightful. Now, we love curry, so we have an appreciation of the flavors. The food is consistently delicious. We have come twice. No issues with the food. The servers run around, taking orders, clearing tables, bringing food, taking payments. There are plenty of people who come in to pick up their TO GO Orders; so that seems to slow down the process for those people dining in. But it is worth it!“

“This is the first time we have visited this restaurant. I was shopping in the area and stopped by to see their menu. It smelled wonderful just walking in the door. It was my husband's birthday, so we decided to go there for dinner. He had the chicken mo-mos, and I had the lamb kabob/vegetables tandoori. We also had some soup. The sauce for the mo-mos was awesome, and the lamb was very tender and flavorful. Tutu was our waitress, and she told us the restaurant was established 7 years ago. What a gem this place is! She even gave us a little dessert to take back to the room. Two little cakes in a honey drizzle. She told us to heat in the microwave for 18 seconds, melts in your mouth delicious! We will definitely visit here again.“

“I don’t live in Carlsbad but tried Food here and it was delicious, it was clean and service was great…I come to Carlsbad every 2 months and this will be my place to eat at least once per visitVegetarian options: It is hard to find vegetarian option and this is the best place“

“If you're not eating here while charging the Tessie, you're doing it wrong. This food is not only shamelessly authentic, but the guys are very cool, friendly, and attentive to customer requests. Plus... Best garlic naan in san Diego hands down.“

“Not fancy in appearance, but it’s very clean and comfortable. A lot more spacious than many San Diego area restaurants.The food was excellent. I don’t know anything about Nepalese food, but I liked this. I’m not a fan of Indian food, and though this food shares a lot of the same seasonings, they’re not arranged in the same way.The waitstaff was reserved and quiet, but knowledgeable.We tried too many dishes and each was more mind blowing. They even had their take on chow mein for the picky kid.Chose a 2 spice level and everyone was satisfied but not “burned”. Probably would do a 3 or 4 if it was just me and the scale was reliably linear. But 2 was nice.If you haven’t tried Nepalese, try this, it’s not what you think. It’s pretty unique.“

“The food here is amazing! Freshly cooked, high quality, generous portions and presented well. Prices reasonable especially for the quality. The flavor of the dishes are unique and the seasonings just magical. Every bite is a culinary delight! We have had other Indian food and nothing compares to Tumeric Hut! The staff work hard and are very kind and fun to get to know. We are fans and will definetly be back!!“

“My first time here and it is very very delicious food, amazing service and a positive and relaxing atmosphere. The service comes with a beautiful smile that makes the place wonderful! I am very happy to find this new place and will definitely return! Highly recommended!! Thank you so much “

“Always amazing. NOT to be confused with the other Everest Himalayan across town (which I avoid after a bad experience.) The staff here are just-the-right-amount of friendly and personable and the food is always excellent.Dietary restrictions: I've been missing out on Vegetable Pokara...there's is made.of chickpea flour and is gluten friendly! As well as the Papad which is a perfect little starter.“

“I LOVE this place !!! I enjoy coming for the lunch special - M - Fri 11am - 3pm. You get two curries, soup, and naan for $12! great deal. The food comes quickly and it's hot! It's flavorful and the staff is great! this is a retailer spot for me“

“There isn't enough stars to give this place! So good!! We took a group of 10 and every single person said it was the best meal they ever had. They made me look good because I pick the spot. The menu is so approachable and they like to teach you about the food. And don't be scared to say the menu item wrong they understand it's hard for people and absolutely don't expect people to say it right.“

“Tikka Masala Hut Taste of India was amazing. I really like Indian food and have frequented India from time to.... well I've been there once for sure. This place had the best food. The wait was kinda long at 25 mins after order, but you really can't put a time on FLAVOR TOWN.I had the chicken Tika masalA. The wife had BUTTER CHICKEN.you can choose your spice level. 1-10. I got a 7.... it was perfect (I like spicy).OkByeGarlic Naan“

“Masala Street is a must try! Very friendly staff with great service. I had the Tikka Masalá (House Special), Chief Special Chicken with Bone with a Salad and it was delicious!!! They have so many menu options, great prices and portions.I highly recommend Masala and will return for sure.“

“If you want home cooking and good Indian food in one place, this is where you go. A small family team that make their own spice blend for their curies. They take their time and it is worth the wait. My family and I have been going here for 10+ years. Never disappointed. Great local eatery in Vista.“
