Charminar Indian Restaurant & Catering

I had an amazing dining experience here, and a big part of that was thanks to our server, Narinder Singh. From the moment we walked in, they were welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. They made great recommendations and checked in at just the right times without ever being intrusive.
The food was absolutely outstanding everything came out fresh, beautifully presented, and full of flavor. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into every dish.
What truly stood out was the level of service. Narinder went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our meal. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm, personal touch. Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. I’ll definitely be coming back and I hope to be served by Narinder Singh

Tried their lunch deal with chicken tikka and paneer butter masala. Chicken is a bit hard but overall doable for that price of 10$
Some of my friends complimented that eatimg food here doesnt give them any stomach issues unlike other restaurants closeby so its definitely a plus

We recently dined at Charminar in San Diego. The overall experience was good, especially considering the generous portion sizes, which offer great value for money.

We ordered Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. Unfortunately, both dishes tasted very similar, making it difficult to distinguish between them. The Butter Chicken gravy was also sweeter than expected, which may not suit everyone's preference.

The Boneless Chicken 65 Biryani was the highlight of the meal. It was flavorful, well-seasoned, and enjoyable. The Plain Naan and Butter Naan were fresh, soft, and complemented the dishes nicely.

The best part of the dining experience was the serving size. The portions were large and more than sufficient, making it a satisfying meal overall. While there is room for improvement in differentiating the flavors of the curries, the quality of the biryani, naan, and the generous servings make Charminar worth a visit.
