33 Best Indian Restaurants near Poway

“Love the Shrimp 🍤 Curry along with great customer service“

“Highly recommended for family outings and great comfort food“

“I had a wonderful experience dining here. I actually visited a few months ago with my boyfriend while we were heading out on a camping trip. We had received a Costco gift card, and this restaurant was one of the many options available to use it.

The space itself is beautifully decorated, very clean, and welcoming. I believe the staff member who helped us was named Navdeep. He took our order, served our food, and gave helpful recommendations that made choosing dishes so much easier. Everything he suggested turned out to be absolutely delicious.

Compared to other Indian restaurants I’ve visited, the pricing here is very fair—especially considering the portion sizes and the quality of ingredients used. You can really taste the freshness and care in every dish. From the aroma to the flavors, everything was spot on.

Overall, I had an amazing experience and would confidently rate it a 10 out of 10. Highly recommended!“

“Very excellent taste. Serving is good but only issue is with drinking water“

“The Paneer Biryani was an absolute delight. The fragrant blend of spices and the perfectly cooked paneer made each bite a burst of flavor. The rice was fluffy, and the paneer was tender and generously portioned. The balance of spices was just right, providing a wonderful depth of flavor without overwhelming the palate.“

“I had a great experience with Anjapaar San Diego as the caterer for my wedding. Ramesh took care of everything and even showed up personally at the venue to ensure everything went smoothly. The variety of curries was fantastic, and we received countless compliments from guests of all backgrounds, who said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had. His attention to detail and the care he put into the service were truly evident. I highly recommend this restaurant!“

“Excellent place for Indian food. Very quick service and great taste.“

“Our favorite place in San Diego for Indian/Nepalese food. The flavors are terrific, no matter the spice level chosen. We try a new dish every time we go. We've never had a dish we didn't like. The lunch specials are a screamin' deal. Wait staff is friendly; only once in a half dozen visits was there a long lag between ordering and serving.“

“Absolutely amazing experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a welcoming ambiance. The food was beyond delicious—every dish was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. The service was impeccable, with attentive and friendly staff who made sure we had everything we needed especially Upwinder. Highly recommend, and I can’t wait to come back“

“Oh my gosh! I FINALLY went here and was not disappointed... I only had both types of dal and a mango lassi ...all were REALLY wonderful and VERY fresh tasting. I will be back!“

“Great place. Wonderful food, unique, spicy but not too spicy. Great staff.“

“It was our 1st time at this restaurant, and we were really impressed with both the food and the customer service. The owner personally served us and took the time to recommend their vegetarian specialties, that we truly appreciated.
We were also excited to learn that they offer catering and even cook live at your events - even as far as imperial valley! With such delicious food and excellent customer service, you will do great. Good luck guys.“

“For context, I was born and grew up in Delhi. Got it for my dad who was visiting and we picked up the Dhaba Chicken Curry which was excellent. Closest to authentic Delhi food I've had in SD. Shout-out to the naans which were exactly what I would expect in Delhi. My dad also gives it 5 stars!“

“If I was on death row and I had one last meal, it would be their murgh makhani with garlic naan and rice pudding. This is easily my favorite Indian food place.“

“Awesome food and good hospitality“

“The food was just great. Choice of spicy-ness offered; the portion is filling. The ambience was just as great: calm music, nice decorations, and clean. And the service was also awesome: personable, fr“

“I am regular customer to Mr Biryani. Would like to thank whole team on their amazing customer service and excellent food options.
I never disappointed with their food. Specially mirapakaya kodi, fried chicken peas biryani, chilli gobi biryani and gutti vankaya biryani.
Specially I have to mention their pani puri stall on weekends and really ??????
I became regular customer to them and I strongly suggest everyone to visit mr biryani and taste authentic Indian food.“

“I give 4 stars because service is friendly and food is(but kind of small amount of food): good AND it is hard to find this type of food when all other choices are fast food garbage Literally this place is truly special compared to the norm fried whatever meals you find anywhere & everywhere .“

“Been eating here since before they were named Masala House. Go for the weekday lunch buffet!“

“The food is amazing! Every time we come we have the best meal. When the owner is here the service is amazing. When he’s not the employees tell you at the door that they are closing when you are coming in mins before 7 pm and the website says they close at 8:30 pm on Sundays. They told a family coming in at 7:05 pm they were closed so they left. According to the person who greeted us they close at 8 pm. Not sure if maybe they should change the hours on Google.

I would definitely recommend if you get here early enough to not feel that they are rejecting your order. You can’t order more Naan 30 mins before closing as the kitchen closes. That’s what they should say at the door. Kitchen closes at 7:30 pm and let the client decide if they want to stay rather than saying we are closed.

The party sitting next to us said they love going to the San Marcos location as the service is superb. They said the something similar as we thought “Great food, lousy service”.

Other than that the service is good. We will definitely come back hopefully earlier.“

“I've only been here once...and I came away VERY impressed...food was VERY tasty and FRESH... service was wonderful and they were so eager to have you enjoy their food. A lovely small neighborhood restaurant. I'll go again!“

“Try everything if you haven't but my absolute favorite from their kitchen is the chicken marsala, samosas, curry, and garlic naan (OMG)!“

“Good lunch buffet with balanced options for both veg and non-veg. Wide food spread with chana puri, idlis, paneer, chicken, lamb naan etc. etc. A couple of yummy desserts. Slightly on the milder side but pickle helps bridge that gap. Atmosphere can be made more lively. They do include hot Indian tea.“

“The men that work there are super friendly and provide great customer service. The bread of the pizza is crispy and fluffy at the same time. The toppings are generous. However, i didn’t have sauce to give it the flavor you’re looking for. Everyone recommends the butter paneer which was good but the curry chicken has that hint of heat and Indian curry that makes it more unique. It was good but not great enough for me to go back which I am bummed about. Definitely try it as more sauce for me may be a personal preference“

“Great menu of food options! The food we ordered, salmon coconut curry, Mushroom paneer, chili cheese naan, and regular naan, and mango lassi, were all delicious. They are still expanding services (they just opened) but service was great! Can’t wait for the buffet!“

“Everything about this place is amazing!!! Authentic Pakistani food, great clean ambiance, and super friendly staff!! Must try their beef haleem and seekh kebabs!!“

“It is an absolute gem for dessert lovers! From the moment you walk in, the sweet aroma of freshly baked cakes greets you, creating an inviting and cozy atmosphere. Their selection is both wide and creative — from classic chocolate truffle to unique seasonal flavors, every bite is pure bliss.
Whether you’re celebrating a special event or just craving something sweet, Cake Korner is the perfect spot. Highly recommend giving it a try — it’s a delightful experience every single time!“

“Getting better. The rude girl at billing is out. New staff is nice. One thing they can work on is to replace those cheap thermacol disposables. Please. World is waking up to the health risks.

Kid-friendliness: Yes

Wheelchair accessibility: Yes“

“Grab and go joint. The pizza dough is delicious! Light and crispy. Their combo is the best deal $13 for a personal pizza and a drink. The pizza is big enough to share, but delicious enough to keep to yourself (I just saved it for lunch the next day and it was still good). Definitely recommend ordering online and pickup.“
