22 Best Indian Restaurants near Laguna Niguel

“The water cups had kind of a fishy smell. The curries were thick and the garlic naan was good. There was a good amount of meat in the vindaloo and makhani chicken. We weren’t a huge fan of the mango lassi. They do have a screen with Indian music videos playing which is nice.“

“Crispy Palau chart fish Tikka lamb meat balls chicken sandwiches all were amazing“

“One of the best Indian fast food restaurant! You’ll meet the owner, Nathan at the counter and his son is the chef. His daughter designed the place. It’s a lovely family affair and you can taste the love in their food.

Traditional food with modern twist on ordering. You can “build it” by choosing burrito, crunch wrap, parathadilla (quesadilla) or grilled sandwich, then pick your protein, and filling (curry,korma,etc). There are traditional curry bowls like tikka masala, street bites like samosas, masala stir fry rice, Mac and cheese, house salad.

We ordered:

-Build it: I got a butter chicken burrito. It’s a regular tortilla filled with cheese, tomatoes, onion, rice, lettuce, chicken masala. I liked that the tortilla was thin to be able to taste the filling. It was delicious. It was so big that I split 3 meals out of it.

-chicken tikka masala curry bowl: Finally a place the loves up to their spice level. We asked for level hot and it was legit hot! Very flavorful with lots of spice. Came with Paratha which is similar to naan but thinner and made with a mix of white and brown flour.

-Popadams- crispy lentil crackers

-samosas: 3 pieces, fresh, stuffed with masala potato and pea. Came with tamarind chutney. We also bought cilantro chutney.

We enjoyed everything we tasted. A second location will be opening in Fullerton. Catering options.

Plenty of parking in this lot. It’s next door to Rooster and Rice.“

“Excellent food and service. En route our travel from San Diego to LA we stopped at around closing time at this restaurant. The chef went out of his way to accommodate my request for a special dish and made it fresh. The food was very delicious, not oily and was served with a lot of love. The chef makes his guests feel very welcome. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who would like a delectable home made taste to their Indian meal.

Vegetarian options: Aloo Gobi and Baigan Bhartha was really tasty.“
