42 Best Indian Restaurants near Fountain Valley

“This place is so good every time we go and order it’s sooooo good. Their food is made fresh and delicious. It’s my favorite Indian food restaurant. Me and my family love it so much we drive for like 20 min to get it instead of another closer Indian food place that couldn’t even come close to this one. I definitely recommend getting this“

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.“

“This was my go to Indian food restaurant in Huntington Beach before being diagnosed with Celiac’s and I was so excited to meet the owner Sal and learn that he and the entire staff are so knowledgeable about the disease and gluten free kitchen practices. Sal’s mom has food allergies and so he has maintained his kitchen with strict gluten free dishes and separate areas for food prep. There are many options on the menu since most Indian food is naturally gluten free. My favorite has always been the Chicken Tikka Masala and Lama Vindaloo, but since the staff always brings out little samples of stuff I now love the Lentil Soup! And testing with my Nima Gluten Detector always shows NO Gluten Detected and I'm good to eat without fear...but I already knew that. Thanks you guys!!! Love love love this place!!!“

“Delicious Indian food that is not your usual restaurant fare. Friendly accommodating owners. Picked up with no issues from their Anaheim restaurant on Lincoln near Western.“

“Food was delicious although it did take a while for it to be ready after ordering. Level 5 spice felt more like a 1 or 2 as it didn't really have much of a kick. Good amount of parking available and there wasn't much ppl eating inside. Chicken biryani was flavorful. So was the paneer shahi. Lamb vindaloo wasn't bad either“

“A man from a far country came to this restaurant, tired and hungry, and bought some Indian food. Much to his embarrassment the credit card denied the transaction. No problem, said the seller, take it and pay another time. God Bless you noble @Sandeep Kumar and your staff ברכה והצלחה בכל מעשי ידיך“

“They have really good food“

“They have the best naan I’ve ever had! Delicious Indian food including vegetarian, meat and fish entrees, and a wide selection of dosa and biryanis. Very friendly staff and a cosy environment. Have enjoyed it every time we’ve eaten there.“

“I ordered a large chicken biryani, and it was amazing.
I don’t know what changed but when i ordered same dish when they first opened i wasn’t satisfied, but i decided to give it a try again. And just WOW! I am going to be a regular here. I hope theh always keep this up.“

“Was a Hot date night tonight 😜 So thought we would try Masala Indian and wow… next level 🔥 Tried a number of curries and every single one was spot on 👌 The garlic naan 🤤 unreal… and the mango lassi… don’t even get me started 😍 So good having a quality Indian spot just around the corner from home when we’re in town ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ all day We’ll definitely be back 💯 The Teeth Man Team“

“This restaurant has the best authentic and homemade style food in Southern California. The owner cares about not only what’s on your plate but also her customers. Overall I recommend this restaurant for someone who just wants food that tastes homemade but also professional all at once.“

“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!!“

“Had a great time here with my family! The staff was very friendly and professional, and Ali provided excellent service.

The Karahi was 10/10, and the Namkeen Tikka was also 10/10. We finished with amazing Dudh Patti Chai. Great food, great service, and a wonderful experience. Definitely coming back!“

“Been here twice now and both times the food has been incredible. I’m definitely not an expert on authentic Indian food, but this feels like the real deal. Everything tastes fresh, flavorful, and made with care. The lunch special is one of the best values around. You get a ton of food for the price, and the quality is still top-notch. One of those spots where you leave full and already thinking about coming back.“

“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.“

“Their 2 combo meal was a delightful experience. The portion size is generous and any additional curry comes at a reasonable $1 extra. It’s an excellent spot for lunch in the Santa Ana neighborhood. Parking can be challenging during peak hours. One unique feature I have noticed in this Indian restaurant is the roasted onions.“

“this was the best Indian food around here .great service 👏 very friendly and highly recommended. thank you aunty for some yummy deserts.halwa was yummy and kheer tasted so good.if we are in town will definitely come back here.my son enjoyed butter chicken.“

“It was real authentic food with large portion , served nice and hot and tasty to eat. The chef and people are very friendly and nice . They cater to your needs if needed .“

“I’ve been looking for Indian cuisine in the Costa Mesa area and I just haven’t found one I was truly happy with, until now!!! Sooo good! I’m annoyed it took me this many years living in the area to order takeout from here. It was hot, fresh, perfect spice level for us on medium, and the guys at the counter were friendly. We ordered garlic naan, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala…. I know those are the “basic” options for Indian food but too many places just don’t seem to nail it, Andaaz nailed it! Well done - we WILL be back!“

“Absolutely amazing! I got the combo kebab plate with chapli & lamb. The chapli was so amazing. The lamb was also perfectly cooked which is hard to come by. Usually the salad that comes with these combos is just ehhh but I actually liked this one. It came with a spicy, cilantro-ey dressing that was delicious. I ended up pouring over my rice as well. Would recommend.“

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

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

“great food. very nice staff. food was fast and wonderful! only togo on indoor eating right now.“

“Excellent Indian food“

“A solid option for buffet style Indian food. I wouldn’t say it’s the best in OC but it is decently priced and they have a fair amount of variety and dishes to choose from. What stood out to me most was the paneer curry and the tikka masala. Was not the biggest fan of the goat dish or the chili chicken. I liked the atmosphere in here though. Very clean and they had the Bollywood music on in the background which really helps set the mood lol.“

“This place is amazing. Fresh food and great service!!!“

“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 .“

“Super cute donut shop Donuts were fresh and amazing I got the cake Donuts one is the cinnamon sugar and one is cinnamon crumb they are amazing it was under $4 after tax for the two Donuts well worth it I would say just for the quality very nice lady working inside I'm assuming she was the owner I come in this area often for deliveries I will definitely be back wanted to try the cinnamon roll cream cheese muffin among a few other things I saw also to know she was serving fresh coffee yum“

“Went to the US for a holiday 2 years ago and still to this day talk about this restaurant! In Love!!! Amazing food, kind employees. I will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later :) yummmm“

“💯👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 perfect……………………..“

“I would strongly disagree with any negative reviews here - we catered from Vishnu Catering for our large Indian wedding the entire weekend and it was the best food we and many of our guests have ever had at a wedding! Ram was kind, helpful, professional, and incredibly reliable as a vendor - we never had to worry about anything going wrong with catering and he was easily one of our favorite and best vendors of the whole process. The food and drink was phenomenal across all events. We are still getting comments from guests, Indian and non-Indian, about how amazing the food was. We are so grateful we got to work with Ram and his team and we would cater again for any event big or small in a heartbeat!“

“Very good tasting food. Plus very clean. Felt like 👍 home. Reasonable prices. Great 😊 cup of tea 💯👍👌🏽✅“

“Reshmi and her crew did a catering in our backyard party recently. It was a unique experience to have a live Dosa station for our friends and families. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was fresh and tasty. There was plenty of varieties in Dosa to pick from, which was great. Specifically the S'more Dosa was a hit with the kids as well as adults.“

“Amazing Food!
I am a local here first time visit.
I ordered pick up the #31 Chicken Malai - marinated chicken and yogurt and spices, cooked in a creamy coconut sauce, served with a small side of rice on the side. I choose mild. I also opted to add the garlic naan bread.
Great for those who want not a huge kick of spice but next time I will definitely order the medium to kick up the heat.
Will definitely be back!
I also took the time to call the restaurant back and give them positive feedback to the kitchen as well as the owner and to pass it along.
There are too many times people complain either online or via phone, but it really goes a long way just to call to say something positive!“

“Had the best Indian food here while traveling away from India! The chef did a superb job, and my friends and I were stuffed silly. I particularly liked the dal makhni and garlic naan, while my friend thought the lamb curry was delightful. Definitely returning on my next SoCal visit! My sister is also a fan. Can too easily pack on the pounds here! Drank a lot of their infused water too.“

“The staff at this establishment were incredibly friendly and welcoming. When picking up our online order, we were greeted by a gentleman with exuberant energy that had a short but immediate impact. Customer service like this goes a really long way, 5 stars! Plus our tikka masala and mango lassis were delicious!“

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

“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.“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“Gave Namaste Biryani a try and honestly, it stood out. The biryani had that rich aroma and proper desi flavor—each bite felt fresh and well-balanced.
The fried chicken was a nice surprise too good.
Everything came neatly packed and on time. Overall, a tasty and satisfying order—definitely hits the spot when you’re craving good Indian food.“

“It’s bad the lady is so rude, she don’t know how to handle the customers“

“The food is so amazing. Taste is the best. I have never had amazing South Indian food in LA as good as here. Hearty food. The thali was so tasty and they have unlimited refills. The thali has so many components and also DOSA! I would highly recommend the thali and definitely have the filter coffee.“
