Test of real Indian food with great food and services 😋
Samosa Chana $8 and Samosa chutney $5, do you see any difference? $3 more for small portion of Chana masala in side..wow!
I've been coming here for 20 years, and didn't mind the prices getting higher as long as the customer service was ok. The food quality is also getting less tasty and the portion sizes are getting smaller, all the while the prices are getting more.
A few weeks ago, I ordered the channa-bhatura for the first time, and I ate it there. I didn't know that I was supposed to receive 2 bhaturas or puris, and I only got one. When I found out, I told the employee who helped me out that time, and she agreed to give me another one. BUT, another lady employee-NAMED PRAGUA heard me and was really on my case about this, and made me feel LIKE I WAS TRYING TO CHEAT, even though she has helped me out many times for many years. PRAGUA questioned me about this 5 times, and was sure that what I had said did not happen.
Then on my next 2 visits, PRAGUA RETALLIATED AGAINST ME. First she refused to give me the different chutneys I always get when I order the $15 dosas. I was upset, but didn't say anything, and just accepted it, paid for it since the dosas were already being cooked, and I decided to not order dosas there in the future.
Then the next visit, I ordered over $50 of food from the kitchen, and PRAGUA REFUSED to give me the chutneys and raita because she said I didn't order the combos. But, I ordered the same food as the combos but just got large and extra large sizes of everything. Then PRAGUA REFUSED to give me the side rice that comes when you order an extra-large item. I ordered the extra large potato stuffing of the dosas, which costs as much any other extra large vegetable item.
THIS IS IT 4 ME. I can't take PRAGUA'S RETALIATION AND NEGATIVE ATTITUDE towards me anymore.
I am no longer going there and spending $50 every week, $200 every month, $2400 every year here. I came for the ambience and great customer service, but PRAGUA has completely RUINED that.
I used to drive 30 minutes just to get there from Irvine, 1 hour round-trip. I didn't mind spending the time and gas money as the people there always were polite, courteous, and friendly, BUT PRAGUA has RUINED THAT COMPLETELY.
I have been saving a lot of time and money by getting my Indian food from TRADER JOE'S. They have a lot of selections including garlic naan, chana, somosas, and even excellent vegetarian byrani with cashews and raisins and vegetable dumplings for only $2.99
I will definitely miss the great customer service I used to get from SUNISHKA, SUNDIP, SHEETAL, and many others there, but PRAGUA'S BAD ATTITUDE has STOPPED ME FROM EVER GOING TO NINA'S EVER AGAIN.
We ordered pani puri it was pathetic 😡😖 my whole throat got swelled after having that worst pani puri chtni , gol gappa wasn’t even fresh, otherwise masala dosa and dahi bhalla chaat wa okay.✅

Good customer service 🥰 and the meal is tasty 😋
I love Nina’s and rely on it for my British and South African foods for my family! I also highly recommend the restaurant that is located at the back of the store!
Decent food, added convenience of grocery shopping in the same place
Very good collection of Indian items. You will get almost everything home away here. I do visit there at least once in month and never got disappointed. Price is also at par and for some it is even cheaper
Great food and value !
