“Stumbled on Hyderabad Cafe on August 17th during a two-month work stint in Carlsbad, and I have been hooked ever since. The staff is super warm and helpful, gladly making my non-veg lunch special and juicy tandoori kababs totally mild with zero spice. The food tastes amazing and real, finishing off with sweet badam milk. Awesome service and food from the staff, they were very friendly!“

“Absolutely loved our experience at Tandoori Guys! The restaurant was super clean, welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and authentic. You can really tell they care about the quality of their food and their customers. We had such a great experience and will definitely be coming back. Highly recommend! ❤️“

“Such an underrated restaurant in San Diego! Not only is the service quick and efficient, but the Himalayan food is beyond flavorful. I always get their chicken tandoori and the mushroom tikka masala (which they can even do vegan). Highly, highly recommend for comforting, warming dishes. Beats Indian food to me!“

“Best Indian food in the area. My wife and I ate an amazing lunch. Delicious, fresh full of flavor. Restaurant is very clean. The manager and chef were very kind professional. Bathroom very clean also. Thank you. Highest recommendation.“

“Indian/Nepalese cuisine is one of my favorite cuisines. I am South African and grew up eating eating variety of traditional curries and stews. I travel a lot for work and have had the fortune of trying some of the best Indian restaurants in the nation, including dozens of places in SoCal. Everest Himalayan Cuisine is by far, the best restaurant I've ever been to. This cozy casual restaurant opened in November originally for take-out. I am a big fan of dine-in, so I was excited to find out that they recently opened for dine-in. I came with my best friend (we're always looking for new favorite restaurants). We decided to get a couple things to share. Started off with the Lamb Momos. They were such a wonderful treat. For Entrees, we went with the Lamb Tikka Masala and the Butter Chicken with Cilantro Garlic Naan. While eating our Momos, an adjacent table received their Tandoori Chicken and Lamb. It smelled and sounded so good, we decided that we would have to order more (we also ordered Chicken Vindaloo and Chicken Tandoori). Our food came, and when I dipped my Naan into the sauce, I nearly cried it was so good. It reminded me of a better version of my grandmas famous Tikka Masala. It's was then, that I knew this would become my new favorite place. It was so flavorful and luscious. All the meat was so tender. The Naan was supple, while pillowy and stretchy at the same time, (clearly proofed perfectly). Every dish we tried was the best iteration of the dish I've ever had. I usually order my food quite spicy (9-10), but if you like a flavorful warm heat, get a 5 to 7. We ordered another order of the Cilantro Garlic Naan to get every bit of the sauce. I know I'll be back soon. I really would like to try more of their dishes and their desserts. They also have a nice Lunch Special, I'd like to try. Thank you for sticking around, and reading to the end. I hope more people discover this new place; there's nothing like it, especially in San Diego.“

“This little hole in the wall is a gem! I walked in and immediately saw signs of beautiful authenticity. If you are looking for white-washed, Americanized Indian food, then this may not be your jam. But if you want the real thing, please plan a visit to Bombay Cafe. We ordered the Tandoori Chicken and the Lamb Tikka Masala. Both dishes were fantastic. The presentation of the Tandoori was particularly impressive!

Don’t plan your visit here with fast food timing in mind; everything is made to order. In fact, you can watch your chef cook your food through a glass window! When you read the menu, understand that everything is separate; we ordered Basmati rice and garlic naan to go with our dishes!

I would definitely go back and wholeheartedly recommend. It was a delicious experience.“
