Just look at the menu.Dietary restrictions: You can ask the servers. I'm sure there's a lot of good dietary restrictions that can help with your diet. Food isn't greasy nor fatty.

“Hi, whanau; I am pleasantly blown away by the food we had at this restaurant. The quality of the food is the highest standard I have ever eaten. Time taken to cook might be more than in fast food restaurants, but it discloses freshness and tenderness in the meat. Perfectly balanced flavours, not too chilli hot or creamy and sweet everything was excellent. Clay oven / tandoori-made Indian beads were the best eaten in the last few years. Quantity with quality means happy puku and repeating customers. sorry...no photos...we were too busy enjoying the food.“

“My boyfriend and I stopped by for a quick bite, and let me tell ya, it HIT THE SPOT! SO Delicious and fresh! The server was so friendly and I love the decor of the umbrellas hanging. Definitely will be stopping by next time I’m in Fontana.“

“I have been here a couple times and everytime I always get great survive and wonderful food. If you never tried something unique and wonderful tasting I cannot recommend this place enough. Sukh is always wonderful, friendly and very welcoming everytime I visit. Will be coming here for many more visit!“

“My carpooler was in the mood for curry after a long commute and Kaur Cafe was on the way. It's a small space and we were given plasticware and paper plates, but maybe it had to do with us showing up at 3pm... I don't know, but I didn't mind. The service was super friendly, quick, and it hit the spot. The curry, naan, and samosas were par for the course, but the chicken kabob was by far my favorite and I will return specifically for that dish, and to support this small business.“

“Spice Jar: A Tale of Two Worlds - Delicious Food, Bumpy ServiceMy Spice Jar experience was a curious tale of two halves: foodie paradise on the plate, and a bit of convenience store chaos in the air. Let's delve into the delicious first.The Food: Oh, the food! It was a vibrant tapestry of pungent spices and aromatic flavors. The lamb vindaloo (7/10) wrestled with my taste buds, offering a great flavor profile but leaving me yearning for a more intense fire. The chicken tikka masala (8/10), however, hit the spice sweet spot perfectly. Rich tomato gravy hugged tender chicken cubes, each bite an explosion of comfort and warmth.The goat biryani (9/10) was a revelation. Fluffy rice studded with succulent goat, aromatic spices, and caramelized onions – it was a symphony of textures and tastes. And the samosas (10/10). They were golden titans, crisp and flaky on the outside, bursting with spiced-potato goodness within. A single bite transported me to bustling street markets, a testament to their authenticity.The chili garlic naan (10/10) deserves a standing ovation. Fluffy, chewy, and infused with the perfect blend of chilies and garlic, it was the ideal dipping companion. Every morsel begged to be scooped up in its warm embrace.The Service: Now, the service (6/10) was a bit of a bumpy ride. Tucked away in the convenience store side with the main restaurant closed, things got a tad hectic. Orders got mixed up, wait times stretched, and the overall ambiance lacked the charm I expected. I give the staff credit for handling the unexpected rush with relative grace, but it took a bit of the shine off the dining experience.The Verdict: Despite the slight service hiccup, Spice Jar's food shines brightly. The bold flavors, generous portions, and exquisite textures left me wanting more. If you're chasing a spice adventure, and don't mind a touch of quirky ambience, Spice Jar is worth a visit. Just be prepared for a potential convenience store detour!“

“Best Indian take out food in the nation. I have been to hundreds of Indian restaurants in the country but these guys really know how to cook North Indian food correctly and the best quality of food. I visit them everytime when I’m in the area.“

“This was a pleasant surprise. I did not expect home cooked delicious Indian food in the middle of truck yards. Baljeet is the lovely lady doing all the cooking and my word, CAN SHE COOK!!! She can whip up any Indian dish you ask for and ready for you in 30-45 mins. I requested the Goat Biryani and samosas and I got so much food. I ate a quarter of it and was already full. I have to get some to go. Thank you so much Baljeet! More blessings to you.“

“I was so excited to go back to Desi Aroma. I just ordered a Chicken Tikka Massala pizza 3 days ago. I knew it was going to be great based on the reviews. It was the BOMB! just had a regular pizza with Canadian Bacon. I'm still salivating. Love this place!!“

“Inside the Lee's sandwich store Fri-Sundays btw. Was confused on whether they replaced Lee's entirely but they haven't. I got the Masala Dosa which is a curried potato mix inside a warm dosa. I've never tried dosa before so I have no clue how it's supposed to taste but it was delicious and fairly large for the price as well. Comes with a variety of sauces to dip it with. Very yummy so I'll be coming back. I do wish the menu had pictures or descriptions because it was a little confusing as a newcomer but the person at the counter was pretty helpful.“

“The food was really good and the cashier that was working with us was super sweet and gave us samples to try everything because we didn't know what to try. The restaurant itself is nice welcoming and warm. The service is really good and I really recommend it.“

“I have eaten Indian food all over Southern california and even in SF.This is hands down the best Indian food you will find in Southern California.My girlfriend had a bad experience with Indian food and never wanted to try it again, she was not impressed and was just disappointed.After convincing her to try this place out (it would have been both of our first time at Koyla) she was blown away and she is now obsessed with Indian food.We have always been served by Kaur, she always provides the best service and makes you feel like you are the most important customer.They are humble, attentive and the food is always top tier and consistently amazing. I’d give this place 10 stars if I had the option.Definitely a must have!“

“Best Indian food in the area for sure. Possibly best I’ve ever had. The food is always made fresh to order, it’s absolutely delicious, the fusion food is creative and simply a revelation. The interior of the restaurant is always clean and has gorgeous interior wall murals and wall art. I absolutely adore this place, it comes with my highest recommendation“

“I LOVE this place so much. As an international student craving home food constantly, this place has become my favorite spot for home food that's fresh and healthy. Reha aunty is the sweetest person I know The service is amazing and so good for price! Honestly so glad this place exists because I eat here most days of the month. There's an indoor seating that's perfect for when I come here with my friends. The ambience is homely and just enough to destress from a long day :)“

“For a food court I’m seriously impressed. Had the beef bowl I substituted the rice for salad. It was nice and fresh. The beef was son tender and flavorful if you like spice ask for level 10. The samosas were good the chutney made it better. Mint lemonade was excellent it reminded me of mint julep from Disney except this was less sweet which is perfect for me. Keep it up y’all“

“Lunch buffet is available again! All the food was quite delicious. Both vegetarians and non-vegetarians are satisfied. I enjoyed six types of curry (chicken, chicken tikka masala, palak paneer, dal makhani, veg korma, aloo gobi), pakora, tandoor chicken, two types of dessert (carrot and rice pudding), salad and fruit. Served garlic naan was also great. In addition, the ethnic interior improved my appetite. The price was $18.50, which was reasonable for the food quality.I believe that Punjab Palace is the best Indian restaurant in Riverside and would like to revisit.Vegetarian options: Curries for vegetarians, vegetable pakora, sweets, salad and fruits are available.“

“Hard to find tasty Indian food because many curries taste the same, but Mantra is authentic. We ordered Chicken tikka masala mild, yellow daal medium and coconut curry chicken hot, the spice level was perfect and did not ruin the taste of the spices which most places just make it unbearable to taste. Mantra chef know how to cook the perfect dishes. We will definitely be back! Thank you!“

“Just moved to Riverside recently and honestly there ain't ish to eat out here that's good. My wife's friend told her to try Maharajah if we wanted some good Indian food like in Los Angeles. This place does not disappoint. Everything so far has been delicious. We have been coming faithfully since we've been in the IE.“
