30 Best Indian Restaurants near Costa Mesa

“Truly phenomenal service from the waiter, Jatinder, and the new owner, Robin! They were so attentive, kindly checked on us frequently, and kept our water topped up. The pakora, onion bhaji, and samosa appetizer sampler was really delicious and I haven't had such wonderfully and delicately spiced samosas like these that weren't greasy at all. My family thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. The potions were large and very reasonably priced. The location is a bit tucked away on the corner of Harbor/Adams as they don't have a sign on the large marquee, but it's a gem worth finding!“

“For me, new flavors. I will be back.“

“Best Indian food I've had in OC. The service was absolutely great! Our server was extremely friendly and made us feel welcomed. The young man answered all our questions. It was our first time there and we can't wait to go back to try the entire menu. The food was DELICIOUS. So much flavor!! The venue was clean and really well decorated. They have beer on tap which is a huge plus! I am a huge carnivore but for those who are not they have plenty vegan options.“

“What a lovely surprise! We had been eyeing Himalayan Delights since it opened and finally ordered take out a few months ago. It’s been on repeat ever since! We have tried the butter chicken, chicken korma, chicken tikka masala, tandoori, naan, and our absolute favorite is the chicken momo!! Omg it’s amazing. Wonderful service, delicious and authentic food….it’s our go-to for Indian/Nepalese. Must try!“

“Excellent Indian food“

“They have really good food“

“Been here for father's day with my family. We ordered a number of dishes and had requested to serve mild spicy. It was really mild and the freshness of all the dishes ordered was quite remarkable. Was impressed with the immense cleaning of this place including the restroom. The ambience was very open and relaxing. Enjoyed the dinner. Recommended.“

“Thank you so much to the gentleman who provided me with the most amazing customer service tonight. He brought my food out to the car for me so I didn’t have to take all three of my kids in. 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 ✨“

“This small Indian restaurant is not the best place to eat in. It gets hot inside and there is no air conditioning. However, it is perfect for takeout. The food is consistently delicious. The butter chicken, chicken tandoori, and chicken tikka masala are all full of flavor. The garlic naan is soft, warm, and really tasty.

Service is fast and efficient, so picking up your order is quick and easy. If you are looking for great Indian food to take home, this is a solid choice.“

“We ordered hara masala paneer, assorted starter and naan for dinner . Naan and paneer was too good. If you like spicy then you can ask them to make it. Service and staff are amazing. Place is decent. They have outdoor and indoor spaces for sitting.“

“it had been a few years since we were here. That was a mistake. We realize had much we missed it. The ambiance, the service and oh my, the food was delicious. My Indian husband and his Indian nephew and cousin were with us. We had 3 appetizers. I had the chicken Biryani, mild as requested, but very flavorful, hubs had a lamb dish and the others had vegetarian 😋. My husband complimented the owner when we were leaving. White tablecloths, fine artwork, authentic food, served artfully. A true 5 star dining experience. Royal Khyber now moves to the top of our go to restaurants 😀“

“The waitress was super nice to me, I got a mango lassi , and some chicken and goat curry . It was so yummy. And she was so friendly 😁👍 , as I had an exhausting week 🤧😭. Made my day 😁 by her friendliness and great food .“

“My favorite buffett lunch in town!!! Great price, unlimited naan, great service, amazing owner! This is my go to Indian food in Orange County.“

“We took the whole family and ate so well. We had garlic naan (amazing!) goat curry, chicken, dal, aloo, mango lassi, etc. Everything was so flavorful and we couldn't get enough. The staff was attentive and kind. We liked it so much we went back their the next night. This is must try if you love indian/nepali food!

Coming back soon!!“

“We were greeted by the jovial manager - owner of this local favorite Indian restaurant. There were so many delicious dishes to choose from; we had Lamb Masala and a Chicken dish both with yummy Aloo Paratha and Garlic Naan. All dishes were generous and we will bring more friends next time to try from the huge selection. Gulab Jamun is my favorite dessert with Mango lassi, a perfect pairing.“

“Wow, first time trying this place and I’m so happy I did. Best donuts and strawberry & crème croissant/whatever it was, ever! One of the donuts was a hybrid glaze/cinnamon roll donut…amazing! I just finished eating everything and my mouth is watering just typing this out right now. Highly recommend this place! So good!“

“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. Every dish was crafted with care, bursting with authentic flavors that instantly comforted my soul. The portions were generous, the prices fair, and the experience unforgettable. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian food or new to it, this is the kind of place that leaves you smiling long after you’ve left. I can’t wait to return and relive the magic!!“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

I’d honestly give Annapoorna 4.5 stars if I could. This is my go-to when I’m craving Indian food — I’ve eaten dinner inside a couple of times, but mostly I get takeout, and it’s always good.

My must-haves are the Kadai Chicken, Kadai Lamb, Goat Biryani, Baingan Bharta, and their naan — love them all, and they taste even better the next day. My mom’s favorites are the rasam and their dosas, so we’re both happy when we order.

It’s just a little restaurant tucked in a shopping plaza — kind of a hole-in-the-wall — but the food is so good I’ve never once been disappointed.“

“I moved to Louisiana a couple years ago and miss this place sooo much!! Mama is so sweet. She always took care of me! One time my blood sugar dropped while i was waiting for my naan and she fixed me up a little plate so fast and sat with me to make sure i was ok. The food there is delicious! I can’t find it here like they make it! My favorites are vegetable korma - saag aloo - and chicken tiki masala!“

“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.“

“Absolutely the best Indian food for 60 miles around. We have tried just about every Indian restaurant located near us. Tandoori is by far the most delicious Indian food, always made with fresh ingredients. The staff is super nice & friendly, and the prices are great.“

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

“We tried Punjabi Tandoor Irvine location, and got their 2 curry combo which comes with 2
Curry of your choice, naan and rice.
Their Saag was really good, overall good portion size and food was fresh.
Definitely recommend this place, especially for lunch.“

“Awesome service. Awesome food. Namiste“

“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!“
