“The vegetable momos were delicious. Nice outer dough with right amount of chew. Fresh light flavorful inside. The filling sauce was also great.

Sag aloo was some of the best I've had. Very savory. Potatoes weren't overcooked.

The dal was very good. Nothing special, just done well. It's on the thicker side for consistency but I like that.

The roti was excellent. Didn't taste like dirt how it does at some restaurants.

The ambiance was OK but could use more airflow. Maybe some more decorations. And the front door should look more like a front door.“

“Awesome food , taken by surprise. We had Samosa Chat reminded me of India, dal makhani was just perfect & vegi biryani with many varieties of vegetables in it. A hidden gem & prices very reasonable. Jatin & Deepak were excellent host.“

“Had such a wonderful experience at Jay Bhavani !! The food was absolutely amazing. We tried the vada pav, dabeli, bhakri pizza, and Manchurian noodles, and every dish was full of flavor.

The vada pav and dabeli tasted exactly like the ones in Ahmedabad, and honestly it brought back so many memories. It’s rare to find that authentic street-food taste here in the U.S., and they nailed it. The bhakri pizza was also incredible and a must-try.

We loved the food so much that we even packed some to take back with us to Seattle. The owner was incredibly kind and made sure everything was packed perfectly for travel. The staff were friendly, welcoming, and the restaurant was very clean and well maintained.

If you miss authentic Indian street food, this place is definitely worth visiting!“

“This was our first visit for a quick lunch. Pleasantly surprised by the ambience and the music. No loud indian music rather peaceful. Any curry comes with naan, rice and salad so in a way one dish for each person. Food was delicious and served quickly. In starter, bhel puri chaat was fresh and quite tasty.“

“Amazing food! The garlic nan was some of the best I’ve ever had, cooked and garlic’ed to perfection. Ordered the chicken tikka masala and the chicken biryani, both were full of flavor and tested fresh. I am definitely coming back and I hope others stop by and give it a try, I don’t want this place going anywhere.“

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

“Just ordered three different pizzas from Tikka Pizza and we immensely enjoyed all of them. Saag Paneer, Pav Bhani, and Butter Chicken were all tasty and faithful tributes to the dishes they’re based on, with the spice taken down a level. While they were excellent fresh, they were even better the day after reheated after the flavors melded a bit.

In addition to tasty pizza, I ordered online and the pizzas were fresh on pick up, and service from the pizza maker was great.

I’ve had Indian pizzas in the Bay Area, and in India, and I am so glad Tikka pizza is here in San Diego as a nice alternative to traditional pizza.“
