“We had never been to this spot and found it on Google. IT DID NOT DISAPPOINT!! The Curry Goat tender and well seasoned. Great fresh Naan. Our sever Karan took care of us and about 8 other tables but he did not slack on his service. Well done.“

“Best Indian restaurant for delicious Indian food in Orange County.“

“Simply delicious. The curry bowls are bowls full of yummy comfort and the paratha flatbread is perfection. I am officially obsessed with this hidden gem. The restaurant is family owed and it shows in the food. I love supporting the local family owed businesses, especially when they are this good.“

“Was super excited to eat at Masala Bae. My friend had been hyping the lunch buffet for so long and we would always talk about coming to eat here on a Saturday morning. Well today was finally the day and it really didn’t disappoint.

We showed up pretty much as soon as it opened and only had to wait about five minutes before we could start getting food from the buffet. It was all so delicious! The standouts for me were the paneer and the chili chicken. I felt like these two dishes complemented each other incredibly well. I am not much of a dessert guy but I also tried the different desserts they had and I enjoyed them very much. Especially the custard with the fruits.

The waitstaff were all amazing as well. Super welcoming and friendly, they made us feel right at home. It was nice and cold inside which was also great because of the heat outside. Would love to come back and eat here again.“

“Excellent Indian food“

“Truly phenomenal service from the waiter, Jatinder, and the new owner, Robin! They were so attentive, kindly checked on us frequently, and kept our water topped up. The pakora, onion bhaji, and samosa appetizer sampler was really delicious and I haven't had such wonderfully and delicately spiced samosas like these that weren't greasy at all. My family thoroughly enjoyed all the dishes. The potions were large and very reasonably priced. The location is a bit tucked away on the corner of Harbor/Adams as they don't have a sign on the large marquee, but it's a gem worth finding!“

“We took the whole family and ate so well. We had garlic naan (amazing!) goat curry, chicken, dal, aloo, mango lassi, etc. Everything was so flavorful and we couldn't get enough. The staff was attentive and kind. We liked it so much we went back their the next night. This is must try if you love indian/nepali food!

Coming back soon!!“

“My favorite buffett lunch in town!!! Great price, unlimited naan, great service, amazing owner! This is my go to Indian food in Orange County.“

“Masala Curry is a real gem of Anaheim. I get warm welcome with delicious Indian cuisine every time I visited. They provide good quality with affordable prices. I highly recommend them for dine, to-go and catering as well.“

“We ordered hara masala paneer, assorted starter and naan for dinner . Naan and paneer was too good. If you like spicy then you can ask them to make it. Service and staff are amazing. Place is decent. They have outdoor and indoor spaces for sitting.“

“Best ethnic food we’ve had:). Thank you so much!!“

“Awesome food and service. Interior decor is unique. We had a party there and everyone loved their creative drinks as well. Try their gulab jamun ice cream, paneer tikka for sure. Actually their kadi pakora was quite flavorful too. I am a vegetarian and of course they had a lot of variety for me however they have a full menu with non-veg items as well. See what stands out to you.“

“I was there for a sangeet.. food was excellent... out of all the places i have eaten at. Food here actually tastes better“

“It’s an Indian restaurant with most of the Indian staff .They know the real taste of India“

“it had been a few years since we were here. That was a mistake. We realize had much we missed it. The ambiance, the service and oh my, the food was delicious. My Indian husband and his Indian nephew and cousin were with us. We had 3 appetizers. I had the chicken Biryani, mild as requested, but very flavorful, hubs had a lamb dish and the others had vegetarian 😋. My husband complimented the owner when we were leaving. White tablecloths, fine artwork, authentic food, served artfully. A true 5 star dining experience. Royal Khyber now moves to the top of our go to restaurants 😀“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“This place is amazing. Fresh food and great service!!!“

“We recently visited Anaheim on vacation and had an incredible culinary experience at Namaste Biryani! Though it’s a cloud kitchen with no dine-in option, the food more than makes up for it.

We ordered the Karivepaku Paneer, Paneer Biryani, and their signature Namaste Biryani with boneless chicken—each dish was bursting with flavor and exceeded our expectations.

If you’re in or around Anaheim and craving authentic Indian flavors, this place is a hidden gem. Highly recommend giving it a try for takeout or delivery!“

“We were greeted by the jovial manager - owner of this local favorite Indian restaurant. There were so many delicious dishes to choose from; we had Lamb Masala and a Chicken dish both with yummy Aloo Paratha and Garlic Naan. All dishes were generous and we will bring more friends next time to try from the huge selection. Gulab Jamun is my favorite dessert with Mango lassi, a perfect pairing.“

“Vishnu Catering did a spectacular job at the event that I planned for ~100 people in Santa Barbara. They showed up on time, prepared, and were very professional to work with throughout the entire process. We haven't even gotten to the food yet - every single person at the event (desi and non-desi) enjoyed the food and praised the food to us. Of note, the rasmalai, double ka meetha, mutton curry, mango daal, chai, apollo fish, mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, aloo gobi, and more. You can't go wrong by choosing Vishnu Catering for your event. They were a hit. Thanks Ram, for all the effort and for helping making our day so special.“

“Great food, lunch buffet, friendly people“

“Just ? This Place & Yummy Food!

Vegetarian options: Love Their Hydrabadi Biryani, All Varieties Of Naans, All Kinds Of Dhosas, Idli-Sambhar/Medu-Vada Combo ( South Indian Food ) + They've Indo-Chinese Food Wth 3-Options = Mild, Hot ( Hot By Taste ) & Extra ? Hot Available Too?! Their Raita ( Made Out Of Yogurt With Cut Onions/Green Chillies/Cilantro Etc Is Lovely Too, Our Favorite, As A Condiment & In Dessert RasMalai Is Good Too! )“

“The food is delicious! 🤤👌🏻“

“Absolutely the best Indian food for 60 miles around. We have tried just about every Indian restaurant located near us. Tandoori is by far the most delicious Indian food, always made with fresh ingredients. The staff is super nice & friendly, and the prices are great.“

“This place is consistently great. I've tried their chicken and rice dishes, and they all taste great. The tandoori chicken and (I think) butter chicken are especially good. The only thing I'm not a huge fan of is that they skimp a bit on the portions and give you tons of sauce. If you're into that, it's great, but I just wish the meat portions were more generous.

The value is there, but for me it's borderline because of the portion size. Overall, this is a solid spot and very convenient for lunch if you're in the area.“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“I moved to Louisiana a couple years ago and miss this place sooo much!! Mama is so sweet. She always took care of me! One time my blood sugar dropped while i was waiting for my naan and she fixed me up a little plate so fast and sat with me to make sure i was ok. The food there is delicious! I can’t find it here like they make it! My favorites are vegetable korma - saag aloo - and chicken tiki masala!“

“Natraj’s is our FAVORITE place to eat in SoCal!“

“Loved this spot. My favorite Pakistani restaurant so far in Orange County! Fine dining restaurant with great ambience. Food was great. Delicious, flavorful, filling Desi food. Definitely recommend the lamb chops and Chicken Karhai.“

“Had the best Indian food here while traveling away from India! The chef did a superb job, and my friends and I were stuffed silly. I particularly liked the dal makhni and garlic naan, while my friend thought the lamb curry was delightful. Definitely returning on my next SoCal visit! My sister is also a fan. Can too easily pack on the pounds here! Drank a lot of their infused water too.“

“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.“

“Very good food very nice service they are very good people takes care of their customers. Quick service I highly recommend going here than any other Afghan place cause this is so far the best I’ve ever been to. Even got the best Afghan ice cream the kebab is a must try it’s so good. Now go try it for your self.“

“Very good indian food love the curries and naan is the best ive ever had!“

“Reshmi recently provided live Dosa center at my daughter's party. Everything about the Dosa center was perfect. Our guests enjoyed it a lot. Taste, presentation and variety of Dosa's was a big hit. I would definitely recommend her for events Incase you are considering“

“Go to Indian food spot. I usually always get palak chicken and veggie korma. Portions are always reasonable, always have left overs for the next day. You should definitely try if you always wanted to try Indian food but didn’t know where or what to get.“

“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!“

“It’s bad the lady is so rude, she don’t know how to handle the customers“

“So delicious! Where else can you get vegan tikka masala, butter tofu, saag tofu.. tell me, I wanna know! So hard to find. So pleased they offer so many vegan options beyond the normal chana, dal, bhindi, aloo we usually get. I missed having a creamy, rich tikka! The tofu butter masala was my favorite (at least I think I was that one - the darker orange one). Closest to a tikka one might have had before going vegan. Absolutely loved it. Called and confirmed everything on the "Indian Vegan Cafe" menu is 100% vegan. I bet you can also just go to Southern Spice and sit down and order it. I'll have to try someday. I did pickup after placing a GrubHub order - be warned, it seemed to take longer than the non vegan orders, wasn't ready quite when the app said it was. Not really a "ghost kitchen"... really just Southern Spice's vegan menu but separated into a different name for ordering. TLDR - highly recommend, especially if you're craving more creamy (but vegan!) Indian curries! Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08“
