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.“

“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!!!“

“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 .“

“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“

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

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“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“

“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.“

“I wish I could rate more than 5 stars. Ill admit I was nervous at first, as ive never really tried Indian food. I was immediately welcomed in, not rushed to order, and they were extremely patient. Obviously the service was fantastic, that doesnt mean the food wasnt anything short of spectacular. My first bite I got a wave of flavor so unlike anything ive had before. I immediately understood why there are so many good reviews here. Thank you for being so kind and making such good food. I dont live nearby but will definitely be coming back.“

“I return here regularly because the food is consistently good, there's always 1-2 tables available and the service is not rushed - you can enjoy a leisurely meal. All the paneer dishes and lentils I have tried have been very good. Plain naan is my favorite.“

“For me, new flavors. I will 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!“

“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.“

“Kebab Kurry Express is one of my new favorite go to restaurants. If you're looking for delicious flavors and meats, this place hits the spot. The workers are also very friendly, and there's some seating outside.

The Chapli Kebab was delicious, flavorful ground beef patties served over some good rice and salad that was also tasty. The chicken platter was just as impressive, with tender, moist chicken that was served on some pita alongside hummus, salad, and fries (these were really good too!).

Pro Tip: Do not skip the Chapli Kebab! It was recommended by one of the workers, and she didn't lead me a stray.“

“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“

“Delicious food. The restaurant is small, but I like it for this reason. It doesn't feel crowded; it feels intimate. The staff are very friendly. I've been several times, and they always check in to make sure I'm enjoying the food. Once, when I got a little too adventurous and requested a high spicyness level, they offered to remake my dish when I was sweating trying to eat it (I didn't let them make me a new one, since it was my fault). A member of my party was gluten intolerant and they made several suggestions for accomodating. All around a great place to relax and have great food with nice staff.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“
