“Went here on the 4th of July weekend for lunch. The service was quick maybe because the restaurant was pretty empty.We ordered a couple of curries, roti, naan and mango lassi. Mango lassi was the best I would say. The paneer makhni was too tangy and tasted tomato all over. Dal tadka was slightly watery and could be thicker.Good place for a quick bite. Would definitely try again to give them another chance.“

Panner Briyani, veg tikka masala, madras chicken curry, shrimp masala , butter and garlic Naan. It looks Paneer Briyani was ok , but all other items tasted really good. Some people from our groups we’re colleagues from Europe. Spicy level ok ok for them too. All liked the food. Naan and Madras chicken curry combination was too good. Service was good as well and relatively quicker . It looks there is lunch buffet as well . Enough parking space available. Overall both service and food gets thumbs up.“

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.“

They do charge an upcharge for the garlic bread. I highly suggest just getting the regular bread and ordering a side of garlic bread because then you get double the bread for the price of the upcharge. The food overall was great... if you are in the mood for Indian food or something with curry then definitely hit this place up.“

3850 Barranca Pkwy Suite O-B, Irvine - 6.85 miles

“So delicious! Where else can you get vegan tikka masala, butter tofu, saag tofu.. tell me, I wanna know! So hard to find. So pleased they offer so many vegan options beyond the normal chana, dal, bhindi, aloo we usually get. I missed having a creamy, rich tikka! The tofu butter masala was my favorite (at least I think I was that one - the darker orange one). Closest to a tikka one might have had before going vegan. Absolutely loved it. Called and confirmed everything on the "Indian Vegan Cafe" menu is 100% vegan. I bet you can also just go to Southern Spice and sit down and order it. I'll have to try someday. I did pickup after placing a GrubHub order - be warned, it seemed to take longer than the non vegan orders, wasn't ready quite when the app said it was. Not really a "ghost kitchen"... really just Southern Spice's vegan menu but separated into a different name for ordering. TLDR - highly recommend, especially if you're craving more creamy (but vegan!) Indian curries! Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08“

“We went here more for the food than groceries. Our first experience with the chaat was surprisingly good, so we went back a week later. Did not disappoint on either visit. We tried Sev Puri, Kachori Channa, Dhokla, Gobi Manchurian and Chilli Chicken. All the items were delicious. Definitely one of the better options for chaat in Orange county. Portions were generous for the price. While the Gobi Manchurian took some time to prepare, it was well worth the wait. Hot, crispy and just the right blend of spices and flavor. This appears like a simple, economical, family run place and it shows in the attention to detail and repeat patrons who struck casual conversations. Will definitely be on our short list of places to satiate our chaat and snack cravings!Vegetarian options: Most of the items on the menu are vegetarian.“

“SENSATIONAL SERVICE ! We have been here a couple of times for lunch in recent weeks and loved it. On Saturday my wife and I arrived here for lunch around 12.30pm. In fact the miserable cold damp weather screamed out for some delicious and hot food. It was pretty packed out when we entered but we found a table in a corner. I fetched us a couple of ice cold waters in plastic cups from their soda machine. We ran our hungry eyes over the menu determined to try something new. AND WE DID ! A very informed server named Arbaz helped us to make our selections. My wife ordered Chicken Tikka Masala ( cubed chicken pieces marinated in tandoor spices, cooked in the tandoor on a skewer ) and I decided on Vijayawada Special Biryani ( special flavored rice, layered with chicken and tossed in a spicy sauce ). Instead of our usual choice of Naan we picked a serve of Onion Kulcha ( leavened bread stuffed with onions and spices. I asked Arbaz to kick up my Biryani.....there were 3 levels of spiciness on offer and I chose medium. As I said earlier in my review we have been very impressed with the food quality here and today our talented server Arbaz has blown us away with his helpful advice. Our lunch orders arrived courtesy of Alex a food runner / server. HOLY GUACAMOLE ! I could not get over the sheer size of my mountain of Vijayawada Biryani. My wife's Chicken Tikka Masala looked very appetizing. WHERE ? For some reason our Onion Kulcha ( bread ) didn't arrive at the same time. We had to chase it up with Arbaz. When it did finally arrive it was more cold than warm..a bit of a letdown ! My wife thought her Chicken Tikka Masala tasted as good as it gets. I dished out a few big spoonfuls of my Biryani onto my meat dish and added some of the side sauces. It went well with the Onion Kulcha. SUPER DELICIOUS ! The chicken tasted fabulous and the medium spice level was perfect for me ...a level 5 I would say. Arbaz had explained to me that for this dish the chicken is special coated then marinated and left to sit for a while. It truly was delicious. I had another serve of my delicious Biryani but in the end had to box virtually 2/3rds to take home. My wife boxed the remainder of her Chicken Tikka Masala too. DESSERT ! When I checked in here Yelp offered me a FREE DESSERT with purchase over $20. YES PLEASE ! I love free anything so I asked Arbaz for my free dessert....I chose the cold one called Rasmalai ( a Bengali dish ). I've had it here before....it tastes like rice soaked in creamy milk. So I polished off my enjoyable dessert...perfect after my spicy Biryani. WE CAN'T WAIT TO COME BACK !“
