20 Best Indian Restaurants near Huntington Beach

“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.“

“Masala Waves in Huntington Beach is an absolute must-try! 🇳🇵

My girlfriend and I had such a great experience here. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and she got the Lamb Tikka Masala, and both dishes were absolutely delicious. The garlic naan was also some of the best we’ve had — perfectly warm, soft, and flavorful.

The service was amazing, and the atmosphere really made us feel like we were in Nepal. Everything felt authentic, welcoming, and thoughtfully done. The food was also very reasonably priced, especially for the quality and portions.

They even surprised us with a complimentary dessert, which was such a nice touch! Definitely try the pistachio ice cream — it was delicious. 🍨

Overall, great food, great service, great atmosphere, and great prices. We’ll definitely be coming back! 🇳🇵“

“Great service and great food! My family loves this place!! 👍🏻“

“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“

“We stopped by for a late lunch and it was a great call. We ordered the veg pakora, green chili chicken, malai kofta, garlic naan, chili naan, chai, and mango lassi.

The veg pakora was a standout: light, fluffy, and really well made. The green chili chicken tasted just like what you'd get in India, which is hard to find here. The malai kofta was creamy and rich without being heavy, so it didn't sit badly afterward. Both naans were incredibly soft. The mango lassi was delicious, and the chai hit the spot.

Service was warm and attentive, the ambience is really nice, and it's conveniently located. All in all, a hidden gem. If you want authentic Indian taste, stop by. We'll be back!“

“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!“

“I have gotten their pani puri, chicken biryani, and chicken tikka masala. Everything is very good high-quality and very authentic Indian food. I truly recommend whoever wants to eat good Indian food. Also, their prices are very affordable and reasonable.“

“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“

“great food, nice ambient“

“This place has more flavor than anywhere on 2nd street. Their food is INCREDIBLE. My wife and i order takeout from here every Sunday and it’s our version of going to church.

The chicken tikka masala is 10/10. The garlic naan is good and the peshwari naan 😍😍. Also everything is better with mango chutney!!

The family that owns this place is local and super kind. Support small business and if you are on the fence give this place a try!“

As an Orange County resident for more than four decades and an actor who has traveled around the world tasting different cuisines, I have always been searching for authentic Afghan and Mediterranean food that reminds me of home. Today, I finally found it! The husband-and-wife owners of Kebab Kurry Express have brought truly delicious food and wonderful Afghan flavors to our community. I highly recommend everyone in Orange County come and experience it for yourself—I guarantee you’ll want to come back again and again!

“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.“

“A good casual choice when I’m in the mood for rich Indian comfort food. The menu has plenty of variety, including butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, chicken Madras, goat curry, lamb vindaloo, biryani, saag paneer, samosas, and several naan choices. The curries are flavorful and portions are usually generous, especially with rice and garlic naan.

Service is generally friendly and fairly quick, although it can vary a little when they get busy. The dining room is simple and relaxed, making this more about good food and value than a fancy atmosphere.“

“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!“

“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.“

“We have been catering food from freshme flavors for the past 5-6 years. Just last month We catered food for a group of 40 people. Idli vada and a live dosa center. The live Dosa center is a crowd pleaser. Chutney and sambar were awesome, highlight was the cilantro / coconut/ lime rice. She brings everythjbg including serving table/ paper plates / utensils. They leave the place clean , and make sure all food has been properly packed. Highly recommend Reshmi for your next party. Hassle free/ tension free party guaranteed“
