“Excellent customer experience“

“Sweet and friendly server , small restaurant. Several booths and a few small tables. Not fancy but comfortable.

We ordered 2 lamb dishes and one vegetarian, all were tasty. The korma was noted on other recommendations so we tried and were not disappointed.

The dessert was a small portion so I wished the kheer had a bit more serving for the cost.

I keep forgetting to take photos but other reviews include.

Beer and wine options but no cocktails fyi.

Extra note/ This is Definitely better than another Indian restaurant further down Second st amidst the sport bar district. ( Natraj) That one has small portions, less fresh, and less friendly service. They also upcharge / don't even include rice with their entrees.

We will visit“

“Jana was our server & was very friendly & enjoyed & loved the food! Will come here again!😊“

“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.“

“I had an absolutely wonderful dining experience at Curry Lounge. From the moment we walked in, the elegant décor and warm lighting created a perfect fine-dining atmosphere. The staff were incredibly attentive, polite, and made us feel truly valued throughout the evening.
The food was outstanding. The butter chicken was rich and creamy with perfectly balanced spices, and the lamb karahi was cooked to perfection – tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The garlic naan was fresh, soft, and complemented every dish perfectly.“

“Good restaurant I love the food“

“Rajubhai and Truptiben are a powerful team!
They pulled off the impossible. They catered for 200 people in the mountains for multiple events including our wedding with a huge and extensive Gujarati menu. When thy were challenged to have the meal served at the table by plate the old fashioned way they took on this challenge and pulled it off like masters.

If you are looking for a company to cater any event where you want PERFECT Gujarati food then this is your team. The taste was flawless. Raju has a fantastic personality and is committed to customer satisfaction. Nothing less. He is a humble professional with an eye for perfection. They drove an entire day to get to the location with their trailers. Cooked in a massive tent outdoors and had zero failures.

The response and reactions to the food from the guests were overwhelming. He brought unique items to the menu that created an amazing twist to originals. Super creative!

Raju’s food tasted like it was made by your own Ba. That perfect flavor nobody else can perfect.“

“The food is delicious and the service is very good! though I eat in, I always order more food to go to enjoy the next day.“

“The owner Sarfraz, was very hospitable and kept good company while waiting for food. We ordered the chicken biryani and Nihari, and both were so delicious! We ended our meal with the pink tea, which is a must, since it's not very common to see at Desi restaurants. Highly recommend eating here!“

“They have the best naan I’ve ever had! Delicious Indian food including vegetarian, meat and fish entrees, and a wide selection of dosa and biryanis. Very friendly staff and a cosy environment. Have enjoyed it every time we’ve eaten there.“

“This is our favorite spot for a late breakfast/brunch on the weekends. Order a couple of dosas or idlis and filter coffee.If you are still hungry, a fried rice and gobi Manchurian to share. Or some of their fritters. We love their outside patio and can easily spend an hour or two when we are here. It's the perfect lazy weekend experience for us! Love their rose milk and badam milk too.
Oh and I got to say this, I especially love their sambhar. I haven't noticed any veggies except for pearl onion, yet it is very finger licking good! Better than my homemade version with all the vegetables. This might be my favorite sambhar at a restaurant actually. Maybe ever! They have gotten the sambhar powder/masala perfectly.

Request to owner - If it's your own creation, please consider selling the sambhar powder. I would love to try and recreate the same flavours at home. Thank you!“

“I had the chicken burger for lunch and really enjoyed it. The chicken was juicy and perfectly crispy, and the fries were nicely seasoned and delicious. I also noticed they have a curry buffet that looked amazing. I believe it’s around $14.99, so I’m definitely planning to try that next time.“

“Khansaab (previously Shor) in Hawaiin garden is an absolute gem. The food was incredible, and the ambiance and hospitality were even better, truly a Michelin star-worthy experience.

We ordered mango lassi, chicken psao, malai tikka, and Peshawari chicken with garlic naan (the highlight of the night with mouthwatering flavors), and finished with knafah- everything was outstanding and full of authentic Pakistani flavor.

Special recognition to Ali for the warm, and kind hospitality that made us feel like family. Definitely worth a visit!“

“Good south indian vegetarian food .free parking available vengatesh perumal idol like I am in Thirupathi or USA. There is outside seating as well. I can see the nice and big Aquarium where kids can enjoy their time and the capacity of the restaurant is around 150 seating. Filter coffee has taken my heart as it is very tasty I like for bhimas south indian vegetarian food“

“I come here once a month to stock up on Indian food. The frozen curries are enough for 2 or 3 meals each with rice. the samosas are great and the lentil soup or dal is great for protein! I'll also buy a masala Dosa or idli's to eat with a mango lassie before going home. It's a great deal!“

“The cuisine was top notch and the service was even better. Pure and authentic Panjabi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“This place is the best Indian food I’ve had in Southern California. The chicken tikka is so good and so are the samosas!“

“It was real authentic food with large portion , served nice and hot and tasty to eat. The chef and people are very friendly and nice . They cater to your needs if needed .“

“Everything is top notch including the food the staff.. everyone around is so friendly and typical North Indian food and the variety for South Indian food and Hyderabad I biryani is also so delicious..it's so difficult to resist yourself to not come here everyday..“

“We want to thank Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the entire Rasraj team for being amazing caterers for our wedding day and reception! Hemal, Hetal, and Saumil worked with us months in advance to create an amazing all-day wedding menu that was unique, delicious, and incredibly creative. They walked us through numerous options and ideas during our tasting with our family and were extremely professional and on top of things on the big day.

The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the dishes, and we even had family from India commenting that some of the entrees were the best they had ever had. The fun presentations, like drinks and appetizers served pre-ceremony, were a big hit and added a special touch to the event.

Rasraj was fully prepared with all the equipment and supplies and arrived on time, ensuring that no one went hungry. The service was seamless, and their attention to detail was impressive. If you’re looking for amazing catering for your wedding or event, look no further than Rasraj! Thanks so much, Hemal, Hetal, Saumil and the Rasraj team!“

“Even though I don't have much background on Rajshtani cuisine but I loved the Maharaja Thalia. 3 different kinds of lentils were my most favorite. Not sure what their name was. Bit expensive at $30 per person but very well done though.“

“They have a daily rotating menu (check their website).

Take out is a better option for this place. They had one table. It's akin to a quick serve Chinese restaurant where they give you rice, garlic naan, plus the items of your choice.

They had 3 vegetarian curries and 3 meat curries when I went today. I was offered samples befoee deciding.

I chose the goat curry and the eggplant curry. Both the perfect amount of spicy and spiced properly.

The foods I tried today were excellent and I'll be back to try more in the future.“

“VERY HOME TOUCH SEEET AND DELICIAS CHAT. WE HAD PAN SEV PURI DABELI AND BHEL. FAMILY OWENED AND OPERATED CHAT HOUSE. VERY TESTY. DO TRY ONCE AND U WILL FAN FOR EVER. NAIK FMLY.“

“Wow, first time trying this place and I’m so happy I did. Best donuts and strawberry & crème croissant/whatever it was, ever! One of the donuts was a hybrid glaze/cinnamon roll donut…amazing! I just finished eating everything and my mouth is watering just typing this out right now. Highly recommend this place! So good!“

“The food was tasty but there were some disappointments- we asked very clearly for very spicy and I made it clear that my wife is from Thailand and we are both accustomed to eating extremely spicy food. The food was not very spicy at all. I was disappointed by the lack of condiments and chutneys and also disappointed they brought so much bread at once and never offered fresh, so it was no longer warm and crispy by the time we finished. These are things I would overlook at a budget restaurant but this isn’t a budget restaurant. The food was good but I don’t think we’ll be back“

“We had the pleasure to go to Cloud Naan Urban BBQ . We received the excellent service..By far it was the best BBQ, we have had. We highly recommend Cloud Naan for excellent customer service..“

“Auténtic South Indian food“

“I got the Tikka masala pizza and garden salad as takeout and everything was delicious. It was some of the best pizza I've ever had and the salad was a larger portion than I was expecting for $8. I arrived about a minute before the order was estimated to be done and I had to wait about two minutes before it was ready. I can't wait to go back and try everything else.“

“Sambar and chutneys were excellent. I was craving something spicy and andra kara masala dosa hit the spot very well. I also liked how it didn't felt too greasy or had an overwhelming buttery taste. However, the dosa came out soft and pale. It would have been a perfect meal if they didn't undercook the dosa.“

“Shepherd’s Pie & fish & chips are amazing! The drink & service was awesome! I can’t wait to go back!“

“Testy food…very nice respectful staff..we enjoyed testy yummy food 🥘“

“When go to Famous Tandoori please try their Philly Cheese Sandwich, Zinger Burger with Fries, Chicken Tikka Roll, Chapli Kabob, Shami Kabob, Lamb Biryani on Saturday, Chicken 65, Chicken Wings, Halwa Puri on Sunday, their Beef and Chicken Samosa's are the Best and Very Tasty“

“it would be nice if you start sealing the bags. I purchased bunch of farsan and none of the were sealed.The new zip lock bags are poor quality. The food is amazing. It would be nice if it was less spicy. People who enjoy spice just give them chilli paste. Thank you.“

“Bezawada & Bamboo biryani 5-star ***** Highly Recommended for tasty n delicious food 😋“

“New, clean and food tastes excellent!

Location of this place is amazing. Quite a small space to dine in but fits in a group of 2-3 perfectly. Best would be to take out.

Pizza was amazing. We tried vegetarian options of Peppy and cheese makhani pizza (with additional paneer). Size and price of the pizza were worth it.

Only point to note was, the service could have been faster. The cashier himself had to bake the pizza. However, he did a great job when the pizza was served.

Overall must try place especially for vegetarian options.“

“One of the best places for Indian food I have ever eaten and been to. We ordered Palak Paneer, Chicken Makhani, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Garlic Naan, all of them tasted really good and authentic! And also 5 stars for the service. Highly recommended!“

“The food and the atmosphere were great! We will definitely be back!“

“This place rocks. The pizza is awesome and how cool is it that they offer so many vegan options (I’m not vegan but my partner is). Big recommend.“
