“FANTASTIC FOOD AND SERVICE 🌟💓
Masala Waves is an absolute gem. We started with the tandoori fish and the samosa chaat and wow both were bursting with flavor. The fish was perfectly cooked tender and packed with smoky spices and the samosa chaat had the perfect balance of crispy tangy and comforting. The mango lassi was so refreshing and creamy easily one of the best I’ve had. The chicken biryani truly stole my heart. It honestly reminds me of my mom’s cooking. The spices the aroma and the tenderness of the chicken made it feel like a warm homemade meal made with love. On top of all that the service was wonderful and so kind and welcoming which made the experience even better. I absolutely love this place and cannot wait to come back 💓🍛✨“

He didn’t have to but he was happy to do it. So thank you so much. Also the food is always amazing have been going here for a long time now ✨“

“AMAZING value. Best value of any restaurant in entirety of north OC.

Friendly staff, flavorful food, suspiciously low prices. They give you huge portions, had about 8 different dishes on hand, free toppings (fried onions, chutney, etc.) which I’ve never seen offered before.

Dear lord please come and give them your money do not let them go out of business. Look at this stock pot full of flavor“

“Absolute perfection. I got the vegetable biryani, full of flavor, perfectly spiced, and aromatic in every bite. My girlfriend had the chicken tikka, buttery smooth and tender like it melted in your mouth. The butter and garlic naan were fresh, fluffy, and crispy on the edges. Wild combo, I don’t even know how they nailed it like that. Everything tasted freshly made with real care. Easily one of the best Indian meals we’ve ever had.“

“Dining at Kulfime was more than a meal, it felt like a warm hug. The cozy atmosphere and kind, welcoming made me feel right at home.

“My husband and I chose Annapoorna Indian Cuisine in Irvine for our Valentine’s Day dinner, and it turned out to be such a beautiful, intimate experience.
The restaurant itself is on the smaller side, which honestly made it even better for a date night. It felt cozy, clean, and incredibly comforting almost like being welcomed into someone’s home. The atmosphere was calm and intimate, perfect for actually enjoying conversation without feeling rushed.
Now let’s talk about the food. Absolutely delicious.
The butter chicken was the star of the night rich, flavorful, and incredibly satisfying. I genuinely haven’t stopped thinking about it. We also ordered chicken masala (and possibly biryani we were too busy enjoying everything to keep track!), along with both garlic naan and regular naan. The naan was warm, soft, and perfect for soaking up that amazing butter chicken sauce.
We also had the veggie samosas, which come with two pieces and two dipping sauces. They were so good that I honestly wish they gave more that’s how addictive they were. Crispy on the outside, flavorful on the inside, and paired perfectly with the sauces.
Portion sizes overall were generous. If I had one small note, it would be that the butter chicken had more sauce than chicken I would’ve loved a bit more protein in the dish. But flavor-wise? Incredible.
I also noticed they offer an all you can eat option, which I definitely plan on coming back to try.
Service was excellent. Our waiter was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything without being intrusive. The entire experience felt relaxed and special, which made our Valentine’s dinner even more memorable.
Highly recommend if you’re looking for a cozy, intimate Indian spot in Irvine with delicious food and great service. We will absolutely be back.“

“Tasty Afghani food is featured in this family restaurant run by Mustafa. We relished the Kabuli Polo, Mantu, and Karahi Chicken with freshly baked flat bread. The lightly refreshing Mango lassi helped us digest the food. Overall, it was a wonderful experience for my birthday!“

“I have been eating Indian food for about 40 years! this place is an AAA ➕. The spices are exactly right without being hot! The owner and chef cooked at high end restraunts before opening his own place. The chicken tikka is perfectly cooked every time. All bread and somosas are hand made from scratch. The price is VERY reasonable and they have a lunch special till 3pm that cant be beat“

“Vishnu Catering did a spectacular job at the event that I planned for ~100 people in Santa Barbara. They showed up on time, prepared, and were very professional to work with throughout the entire process. We haven't even gotten to the food yet - every single person at the event (desi and non-desi) enjoyed the food and praised the food to us. Of note, the rasmalai, double ka meetha, mutton curry, mango daal, chai, apollo fish, mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, aloo gobi, and more. You can't go wrong by choosing Vishnu Catering for your event. They were a hit. Thanks Ram, for all the effort and for helping making our day so special.“

“This is by far the best Indian food in OC and possibly in SoCal. My husband and I have been eating here for over a decade and we’ve found the service, food quality, and family that owns the place to be exceptional every single time. We are greeted like family when we come in and consistently have a great experience. We’ve had Indian food from CA to London, and still, Tandoori has the best flavor of them all. My husband has tried a number of things on the menu and raves about the Chicken tikka masala. I LOVE the veggie korma. The flavor is full and rich, and when you ask for spicy, they give it to you. The garlic naan is absolutely delicious, as are the samosas. We’ve eaten in, gotten takeout, and also ordered on DoorDash tons of times and every single time the food is piping hot and so flavorful. We love that it’s family run and that they use all family recipes. I’ve seen some reviews mention portion sizes being small, which is wild because I always have leftovers. I order an extra rice to make a second meal out of it and it never disappoints. The space is modest which makes it feel like a hidden gem. 10/10 will keep going here.“

“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.“

“Natraj’s is our FAVORITE place to eat in SoCal!“

“Awesome service. Awesome food. Namiste“

“This is a really amazing food place in the Irvine spectrum. The food was delicious, the prices were reasonable, The young lady working the counter was delightful – we definitely will be back here every time we hit the spectrum highly recommend.

– I normally think most of the places in the spectrum are overpriced too crowded noisy and service is bad and the food is mediocre – THIS IS EXACTLY THE OPPOSITE!!!!“

“I finally found a delicious Indian restaurant that is well worth the cost! Their food is incredible! Hot, spicy, and tasty. I love the portions and the price of the combos. I also love that the combos come with naan and their kheer is the best I’ve ever tried. I could eat buckets of it. Definitely coming back. I am feeling so excited and grateful to have found this spot!!“

“I have been both food and batter from FreshMe since years and there is no better option than them. Their batter is amazing and the Idlis are so soft and fluffy that I have never had luck getting the same quality from any other batter. It checks all the three boxes - fresh, tasty and healthy“
