From the moment you enter that restaurant they give you an excellent feeling. Very comfortable crew, it is a happy place to to go out with friends and colleagues or with your date. enjoyable meals, professional chief cook and stuff, reasonable cost and excellent service. Warmly recommended.

Every time I go the food is always delicious and the service is wonderful. It's must try for anyone who loves Indian food or looking to try something new.

Very disappointed. This is for an online order. The order was for Mushroom Matar, Prawn Curry, Samosas and naan. We were given Matar and Curry, AND RICE which we did not order but no samosa, no naan. The Mushroom Matar had almost no peas and was so excessively oily that even after straining it, it was hardly palatable. The prawns were rubbery but that is perhaps because there was a mixup about delivery (I expected delivery; they expected me to pick it up), so it had been sitting there around 2 hours.

This was my first time eating Indian food and I am hooked!! We had the Aloo Gobi, Samosa, & Papadum. All of it was amazing! We have a few serious food allergy issues and our server was so helpful in picking out what to order. She knew exactly what the ingredients of the dishes were which was really reassuring.The only sad thing is that we were just visiting Monterey so we won't be able to go back to this fantastic restaurant very often.

The food is absolutely fabulous! The server made really delicious recommendations - the tandoori cumin chicken in particular!!!! Nom nom nomOur server was very kind, attentive, and generous with how much rice and naan she gave us. She even surprised us with gulag jamun at the end of our meal when she presented the check. The patio is small, but clean. I will be supporting Aabha Indian Grill through these difficult times, and I highly recommend everyone do the same:)

Just had another amazing experience & food @ one of my favorite places, we had vegetable curry, lemon rice, walnut chicken korma and garlic naan, the service was great, the chef came out to say he apologized for not having iced tea but then went and made me on the spot Indian black iced tea which was amazing, the server came out several times to check on us.I've had lunch/dinner here several times as well as take-out, very timely on deliveries.

I'm a regular here and I feel bad for not leaving a review but this place is THE BEST INDIAN FOOD in town--hands down. I love the pistachio lamb korma--in spicy sauce. OMG, you'll be feeling and tasting the flavors of exotic Indian subcontinent as your noes gets rainy and your mouth feels like it's in an Indian musical movie--while your mind is thinking about turning it into a liquid so it can be injected into your bloodstream DIRECTLY. I have also tried their chicken tikka masala--yes and yes! If you're new to this dish, lie and you'll be forgiven for your sin.

Just had vegetable curry, walnut chicken Korma, garlic naan with lemon rice (3rd time eating on site & have called for take out numerous times)I asked for Iced tea but they don't have it so they made me fresh Indian black tea which was delicious, as always everything was fantastic, I highly recommend this place and remember medium is pretty spicy for us "naan" used to it

I don't even know where to begin with this review. I have ordered from Aabha during quarantine and gone inside pre-Covid and I have never had a bad experience. The food is absolutely amazing and the staff are so nice. The waitress/hostess there has been nothing but kind to me each and every time I go in, and always makes sure that I enjoy my food. I messed up in my order my most recent time there (today) and SHE compensated ME. The cooks as well are super accommodating and I will never go to any other Indian restaurant. None compare to this place and I feel welcome every time I go in. Thank you to Aabha Indian Grill in Monterey for being so welcoming and having such great food!

Naan, butter chicken, and pistachio lamb korma are all ABSOLUTELY delicious.

This is my favorite restaurant in Monterey right now! I've been here three times in the past month. All my friends love everything on the menu. The wait staff is extremely professional. All the food is authentic and flavorful. Definitely recommend coming here! Due to coronavirus they are only offering outdoor seating right now. There are only four tables outside, HOWEVER I encourage everybody to get takeout and sit by the beach to enjoy this divine food! ITS THAT GOOD. The main server Prinyanka is also so helpful and kind! Grateful for this business! Keep being awesome!

Good Indian Food. Fresh and delicious but I was disappointed that I asked for spicy and my food was very mild. It says while ordering that you can adjust the spice level but in my case that was not true. Overall a good experience.
