Good food and ambiance. Great place to be with family and friends
Improved, need little more salt.
Some of the best Indian food I have ever had here in Little India. Ordered the chicken tikka masala at the spiciest level and a side of malai naan. It was on the pricier side but oh boy, the quality of both of these items was out of this world. The cheese naan was incredible and its pairing with the spicy tikka masala was immaculate. Also, though it was quite spicy, it was a bearable level of spice, at least for me. If you aren't used to eating spicy food though, I would be careful....read full review
Yantra Kitchen offers a range of dishes, with the Baingan Bhartha being a popular choice due to its distinct smoky taste. The chicken biryani and samosas have also received positive feedback, along with the fresh Garlic Naan and Shrimp Tikka Masala. The restaurant's clean and modern interior is noted, and the service is generally described as good, friendly, and attentive. Some customers may find the food spicier than expected, but the flavors are well-balanced and not overwhelming. The Go Goa Coconut Curry and Yellow Dal Tadka are standout dishes, made fresh to order with rich, complex sauces. Portions are generous, and the Mango Lassi is perfectly sweet. Parking is available in the back, though the space can be tight. While the decor is simple, the focus remains on the delicious food and convenient location near the Cerritos Performing Arts Center. The staff, including the server/owner, is helpful and provides recommendations. Some minor issues, like rice sharing or occasional service delays, have been noted, but overall, Yantra Kitchen delivers a satisfying dining experience.
