This place used to be so good. Haven't been here in a few years but I can tell that they change the flavor of Curry's. I talked to the waiter and he said there was a new chef. Whoever the chef is he needs to be fired. This used to be my favorite spot but now I cannot recommend this place to anyone anymore. I took my girlfriend there for the first time and she said the food was disgusting. And I told her that the place used to be so good. But I don't know what happened

The Mattar Paneer curry was wonderful. Get it “spicy” or one notch below.

Loved it!!Awesome location and ambiance. Food is cooked to perfection with exotic flavors. Loved the peaceful and serene atmosphere, especially the waterfall and the statues. If you have never tried Indian food, start here.

I thought I would treat myself to a Chicken Tikka Masala on my final night in the Marriot hotel.I ordered the food for delivery at 6.50pm via Eat24.45minutes later I requested an ETA through EAT24 they messaged me saying 8.01pm. At 8.15 I called the restaurant, they were busy and did not answer. I messaged Eat24 at 8.20 they said restaurant said 10 minutes or less. At 8.50 I messaged Eat24 to let them know I've been waiting over 2 hours and still no food.They contacted the restaurant and was put on hold!! They were told the order had not left yet. Eat 24 asked to speak to the manager who told them that his driver lagged and he had to pay someone else out of his own pocket to deliver the food to me.The food finally arrived 2 hours 20 minutes later. The food was stone cold!! I am certain it was sitting in the bag in their restaurant for over an hour.I have no way to warm it up as I don't have a microwave in my room.I messaged Eat24 and let them know the food was cold and incredibly late. They contacted the restaurant who told them that they are not willing to do anything!I couldn't tell you if the food was good. It tasted awful cold. The naan bread was hard. The samosa was a little damp but tasted ok.I'm done complaining for the night!!I wouldnt recommend this place due to their lack of customer service and not taking care of their mistakes.Definitely don't use their delivery option

Waited an hour and a half for food. Then it was burned and they forgot some of our order. Wouldn't remove empty plates when we were done with them, even after we ask them to. Our curry dishes were good but our meat dishes were terrible. I would never go back.

Food was delicious. The hottest option for spicy food is actually spicy (I have a high tolerance so usually I can't find things that I consider spicy). The atmosphere is fun. I've only been once so I don't want to say "expect this", but it seemed to take a while for the food. Timing is only reason I didn't give 5 stars, but again, I've only been once and it could've been "one of those days"

We came for the lunch buffet. The food was pretty good. I particularly like the curry dish. The service was decent, unlike what other reviewers mentioned above. There was no wait. It was good for some quick in and out lunch.

Always come for their lunch buffet, so good and affordable.

If I had option, I would have rated negative 5. We had a reservation for 7.30pm and apparently had to wait for 20min for a table. After a wait for another 10 min we had to literally hunt down a waiter, just to talk to us. After all this, they had the audacity to say, we are a bit lost and under staffed, you can leave if you wish to. Typical Indian chalta hai attitude.The folks who were already having dinner buffet, apparently were complaining many items were already finished for the day. They were charging 19 bucks for a half buffet - goodness gracious...my humble request to the City of San Diego, "Ban the restaurant from any further business."

Great atmosphere, friendly stuff and very delicious v food, especially vegetarian!Me and my wife will come again!

Barney McComas

Great food at reasonable prices in a good atmosphere. Service is always friendly but can be excruciatingly slow, for no apparent reason. One complaint about the atmosphere is the filthy crystal chandeliers. I personally love them and think they look amazing, but if you're going to have crystal, keep it clean. As it is, they look like they belong in a haunted house.

Love this place for Indian food. They have all the classics like naan and Somosas. This is a great place to come, especially if you are a vegetarian because they have lots of options. They have a great atmosphere and really good drinks.

The food was amazing! The ambiance is brilliant! It does take a little while to get your food so just be prepared to wait for your food to be prepared a little longer but iris well worth the wait. Very affordable for the experience. A little more westernized than k expected however.
