Long time fan of this place, especially in winter of you need a hearty lunch to warm you up.Recommend the butter chicken and chicken tikka, especially with a naan.

No place to sit, walked in no one greeted 3 men all of them look like havent showered or slept in days older gentleman on the phone very loud middle age gentleman quiet and younger male was on his phone Bluetooth tucked in side his turban, was almost offended why we walked in and order food while he was on the phone with family back home. Menu is too big too many options, while ordering i made an honest mistake/question was immediately scolded by the younger gentleman prices are good i loved the naan but food curries doesn’t back that up it was not good at all Chana was undercooked and watery, veg korma had a weird creamy/yogurty back taste Probably will not return huge turn off not sure why this place has this many reviews

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.

Worst Punjabi food ever !! We live in sacramento and decided to try this restaurant while driving through Carlsbad . . The paneer was rubbery and old , the kheer that came with the combo had turned sour (for those who don’t know kheer is a dessert made of milk and should be sweet , it has to be very old and stale to have turned sour under refrigeration and current cold weather conditions )the daal was extremely spicy. The attitude and mannerism of staff were as bad as the food .I was under the misconception that only sacramento area is deficient in good North Indian / Punjabi restaurants . Carlsbad is no exception . Who on earth is giving them 5 star reviews for serving such pathetic food ??

We ordered fish and chicken, and couldn't tll which was which. Service was nothing special, and the armosphere wasn't as high as one would expect.

The worst food I have ever had. Don’t deserve 1 star too. Can’t believe it is run by Punjabi people.

Fair curry at fair pricing. Not sure if I will try them again.

A great little place for lunch. Tasty food that is great value for what you get. Presented well and served with a smile. One of the several units in "The Island" with a well cared for seating area, where there are many different lunch options to suit anyone's taste.

I ordered thru Doordash, and it included garlic naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, basmati rice, and egg bhurjhi. Everyone loved their food.

Even though I had my share of Indian food I still know nothing about the difference between North, South or whatever region.Picked this strictly because it's outdoor seating and parking are plentiful.Turned out this Indian place is very delicious. There were prior comments about Curry being too watery etc. Again not professing authenticity for the food here I actually enjoyed the liquidity as I can dip the freshly made and absolutely delicious naan (Palm size) into it.#9 lunch combo of $15.00 with lamb and chicken hit the spot with a small container of Kheer (sweet rice pudding) rounding out a marvelous experience.Service was fast.

The food was very good, but one of our group ordered a vegetarian dish and asked for it to be mild, nor spicy. It was too spicy for her. Other than that it was great.
