Food is okay, not the BEST. However the prices are exorbitant :way above my pay grade. Unaffordable. Not good value for my hard earned dollars. Add in tax and tip and meal for two approaches $100.

My experience with this restaurant is really funny because 50% of the times the food was really bad and 50% of the times it was exceptional so I rate it overall 3 star. The biggest highlight was the server Mr. Talah was really going out of his way to make sure that we were welcomed, The food was nice and make sure that the experience was really great. We ordered samosas which looked like the samosas from store which were refried. The fish stick was OK and lack salt and the $26 chicken kadai (see photo) came in a bowl which was half cooked and 50% of it was just chopped big onion pieces, green pepper and big chunks of chicken. There was no gravy at all. I told this to Talah and he took get back immediately to the cook to make the fix. Graciously Day did fix it, but wasn’t up to the mark like what I had last time. Last one not the least when I asked about the dessert Mr. Talah was kind enough to sample us the desserts and then told order whatever you like. I’m certainly sure that the cook must have changed and all the four times I have been there every time the cook was different and I can significantly feel the difference..

Please maintain the cooks if they’re doing good because at the end of the day, that is what matters . At the same time I would like to mention that the price point is way too high and really not worth the cost.

Anyway, I still give them 3.5 star because they did try their best and with certain consistency, they can be much better.

I hope next time when I go there, the food will be better !

Recently had a favorite restaurant for malai kofta in another state and am happy to say theirs tops it!!! Malai kofta medium spice is perfect spice level not to ruin the creaminess but still give aromatic kick. Go mild if you need to. Authentic homemade style. Must come back to try more of the menu. Excellent attentive friendly service.

I'm going to give only 1 star to this restaurant because the last time i ordered a food (Chicken tikka masala, paneer karahi etc. ) it wasn't good as like before few days. Also, I visited the restaurant and had a dinner there that was my first day and met with a girl who was the manager of there she was so nice and friendly with me and with my family but she wasn't there the next time . I got to know that somebody tried to fire her because she was asking for her salary and didn't give her food in the San clemente branch . All of them misbehaved with her , tortured her, and abused her, but why ? Just because she asked for her salary OMG I'm not gonna visit there ever and don't let visit to my knowns you don't have humanity so bad!!!! This restaurant can not run for a long time.
..SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!

This restaraunt nails it...if you want great Indian food then give this spot a try. Delish!!!!

Had the Malai Kofta. First time I tried such a dish. Really good. Enjoyed the garlic Naan and veg. Samosa. Portion size was good for two of us to share. Met the owner Narjees who said they also own a restaurant of the same name in San Clemente.

Great place to eat! We came here for a holiday lunch and ordered the family platter, garlic naan, and mango lassi. The food was delicious and perfect for a family of 4-5. The service was also hospitable, our server Riya was very friendly!

Lunch special ran me $23 with a drink. Good portions, nice variety on the plate (tandoori, paneer, lentils, rice, yogurt, and naan), and highly flavorful cooking. I was the only customer, and enjoyed conversation with Riya, who was personable and attentive. This place is easy to overlook, but worth stopping in.
