Get a lassi, skip the rest. Uninspired and bland, with weak quantity. In short, not a good experience. You're better off getting something frozen from Trader Joe's next door. It's that bland

Was really looking forward to Indian food again so I tried Arya. Ordered chicken tikka masala and lamb curry with basmati rice. What I received was large chunks of chicken thigh meat (I think) in their tikka masala sauce. Chicken was not as tender as I hoped. Sauce was good but it was a little bland. I hate to say this but I've had frozen chicken tikka masala that tasted better. The lamb curry was chunks of dried lamb in a dark curry sauce. Maybe I should have order the curry more spicy but I wasn't asked when I placed the order. I couldn't finish the lamb. Again I was expecting the lamb meat to be more tender. My wife's slow cooked beef stew meat is more tender than this lamb. Disappointing for the $14.49 price. Finally, the basmati rice was flavorless and dry. Overall, a disappointing dinner given my initial expectations of Adya.

Food was okay and I guess a little bit expensive compare to other Indian restaurants. I paid about $20 for Tikka Masala with bread and curry on the side.

I really enjoyed my Chicken Kathi rolls. I liked the salad and dressing as well. Good portion size.

Service was NOT good. The bushier had a bad attitude problem. The food came out and was not so great either it tasted bland and more like a snack than an actual meal. I was almost scared to eat it thinking I was going to get food poisoning or have hair in it. The cashier also wasn't wearing a mask. Pioneer Blvd in Artesia has WAYYYY better Indian food and a lot cheaper. It's only a 15 ish minute drive; but SO worth it

Menu board not working. No one at the cash register/front. Change of ownership? We stood at the counter to order for 5 min - never acknowledged by the 2 people facing us working in the kitchen. I did not need to stay to be further disappointed. 4 people = $80.00. Maybe it's not that important to ADYA.

Was trying to introduce a friend to Indian food and this was a bad first choice...Probably would not get again. I ordered chicken tikka masala and I got a tomato-based sauce that was more sour/sweet. (No spice at all). I've had tikka masala from a few different places in SoCal and this is the first time I've gotten a sweet tomato sauce rather than spicy and creamy...Their garlic naan was also moist from the butter/oil that was a bit too heavy in the top. Pretty disappointed with this especially for the price of it. The only thing I enjoyed was the rice and the samosas. Nice customer service though if it's worth anything.

I just ordered lunch here and I felt compelled to come here and write a review. The chicken kati roll is the best I have EVER tasted (and I'm from NYC) - the flavors are so so SO good. There is depth and complexity, a real homemade authentic taste. I enjoyed it very much. The chicken was fresh and tender, cooked to perfection. When I thought things couldnt get better, I tried the samosa chaat with the green chutney and hot sauce and I'm simply blown away. The sweet-and-sour-crunchy-tangy-spicy flavor of each and every ingredient is prevalent. The hot sauce itself has a range of flavors with a hefty kick - I can honestly say I am SUPER excited to go back and try everything else on the menu. Thanks Adya, my lunch today far exceeded my expectations.

I have order bhav Bhaji samosa chat and chickpea chat Very worst and less quantity. Compare to these Irvine spectrum curry up items are much better than adya.

Love the chats and pav bhaaji. Also samosas are awesome
I love the Chana masala from here it's probably one of the best. My only criticism is the portion sizes feel relatively small compared to other places I've been to.

The food is tasty overall. But the quantity is very disappointing.

I had the chicken tikka masala and naan which tasted good, but it is expensive (About $18)

They donated 100% of their sales in May to relief efforts in India. I have several students with family in India and who have suffered losses, so I came in to order take out for one of my student's families. to support the bigger picture. I don't know anything about Indian food. I don't eat it because I don't understand it and I am in desperate need of some education in the cuisine, so when I came in, I had no idea what to order. I asked the girl what one would order in the wake of a death and she pulled the manager to the front to help me. He listened carefully to the situation and advised me on what items to order that would be safe for a grieving family (dietary restrictions apply when facing loss of a loved one). He and the girl at the register were compassionate and patient and I appreciated their patience and information. I didn't eat the food but it smelled good and I think I'll be back some day when I find someone who knows about Indian cuisine to walk me through what I'm tasting. Thank you Adya for your care to your community.
