Best Indian food I’ve tasted in SB! Highly recommend the Puri (deep fried naan). It’s made from scratch.

Amazing food, had a craving for some authentic Indian food and couldn't have picked a nicer place in IV. I had the chicken biryani and it comes with raita and a choice of curry from there selection. The biryani was amazing and the daily chicken curry was amazing as well. The guy at the front was really nice too

If you love spice and flavorful food this place is for you! I cannot believe I just found this place. I was blown away by how delicious everything is here. Yes! I tried everything because the owner provided samples of EVERYTHING! From the chicken curry to the tofu curry they have a scrumptious selection of food. I love that they have vegetarian options with their plates like lentils, garbanzo beans, and spinach. How do they make spinach taste delicious?!! It's still a mystery for me! Will definitely be back!!

10/10 would recommend! Excellent service and delicious food! The owner is very friendly, and I recommend getting the rice plate - you get so much delicious food: rice and your choice of 2 sides - chicken and/or vegetarian options. And you can sample anything you are interested in trying! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Food is fire and the guy who’s always working gives large portions + a little extra. Shop could look at little better but I go to restaurants for the food not the atmosphere. I would post a picture but I tore it up.

I went for primarily just the bread but the teas are really yummy as well

I have not nearly enough words to express what an incredible establishment Sunny & his family run here in Isla Vista. I’ve been visiting this place since 2016, almost 9 years later & I’m still driving all the way from Central Valley to get a plate of their delicious food. The quality & taste of their food truly stands the test of time.

Sunny (the owner) is always greeting us with the warmest & kindest customer service. He offers you samples to taste all their dishes & also offers a “special of the day.” So you’re bound to find something to your liking on their menu!

Pictured, is my usual order: chicken tikka masala, their “special chicken of the day,” toasted garlic naan, white basmati rice, & mango lassi. Their mango lassi is undeniably the best I have ever tasted, from any restaurant. And the portions for their food & drinks are a great value for their price.

Sunny, if you’re reading this, it was a pleasure seeing & speaking with you again, & my family & I will gladly return in the next coming years! Thank you for continuing to bring comfort to the heart of Isla Vista!

Try the teas and sample the curry if needed. If you love curry, then all of it's good. Kind, welcoming, and friendly service

I visited from Washington and had the best experience ever. The Vindaloo curry is perfectly spicy and with a savory taste. It’s mellow and calm atmosphere in this restaurant. The front cashier and workers are so kind. I will remember this forever.
