50 Best Indian Restaurants in San Diego

“Wow they have great lunch specials. You get the best value in price, quality and quantity. Monday to Friday 11am-3pm $12.99 plus tax for a plate of rice, naan, soda can and a curry dish.

We got veg korma and chicken tikka masala and added veggie samosas for $1.99 each. We also ordered a plate of butter chicken to take home. I love how all the flavors soaked into the protein.

We got a level 8 in spice but it wasn’t at all spicy. I’m working up my spice tolerant and it wasn’t spicy for me. I would definitely come back here many more times.“

“Highly recommended for family outings and great comfort food“

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

“Great conversation with the owner here today about how this style of food benefits our bodies and being a healthy option to cook at home. Very personable and relatable! I will be back“

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

“I love coming here. They have great tasting food and excellent service. They also play good music in the background and it's not too loud. I love coming for lunch with my sister. They have great lunch specials (you can spend more at McDonald's but it won't be as nutritious, delicious, or filling than here!) The cashier is very friendly and will come check on you. Definitely recommend.

Vegetarian options: Meatless Monday special!

Parking: Can get tight around 11am-12pm bc all of the companies around there go to lunch“

“We sat on the swings and looked out a the PB hub bub - great place! Nice easy Indian cuisine!“

“Excellent beautiful extravagant just magnificent they take their time in cooking healthy food“

“I’m in love with biryani here vegetarian biryani I tried at 100places but finally I quit eating vegetable biryani But this place when I tried I loved it Will never go anywhere if I want vegetarian biryani this is my only place to go Plus another thing I love their chats samosa chat and aloo tikki chat Aloo tikki chat is my favourite one Haven’t tried anything else yet but will update if I will tried some another dishes 💯 recommended“

“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!“

“best in the town“

“We catered food from this place for our daughter's Wedding in San Diego. Tandoori Group's food was delicious in All our events with different varieties it was exceptional experience :) Varun and his team was THE Best Catering Service so professional courteous and they go out of their way to accommodating to our each Event needs. I will Highly recommend Varun and his team for small or large group of any Events, they are the Best in San Diego, CA Area with Best food and Superb Service and professional and friendly Team :) Thank you Varun ...Appreciated your Wonderful Services and Amazing Food“

“I'm gonna be honest, I love this place and it is literally my favorite restaurant. I need them to be in business forever because I need to leave a positive review of them in my obituary. My personal favorite order is the chicken tikka masala and the saag paneer with garlic cheese na'an, but I'm fairly certain it's all just amazing. I just had a birthday lunch there and brought friends, and once again everyone who'd never been there was obsessed. I dream about my leftovers and they always live up to the hype.“

“Such great food and environment! I had the veggie korma and tikka masala lunch special and it was a good meal… so incredibly delicious!! 110% recommend, you should definitely try for yourself. Unfortunately I devoured it before thinking about taking a photo. Interesting but really good flavors.“

“Great service and never heard and delicious dishes in San Diego!“

“Hands down one of the best Indian dinners we had so far . We were a party of 5 , ordered masala dosa, idli , puri , chola bature and kesari .. all the dishes were top notch . Service and ambience were great too .. we all absolutely enjoyed the dinner .. will definitely go again“

“We were on vacation, we Found India Place restaurant, I B2 Recommend This Place . Fast Service Nice Staff , Good food . 04/24/2023“

“Delicious lunch buffet. All the food was very fresh tasting and a garlic nan was very tasty. It did seem on the pricier side for an Indian lunch buffet at 18.99, although I'm not sure if the nan was included or if it was extra. I'll definitely be back.

Parking: The parking spaces are very narrow in the lot.“

“They have the best samosas with mint chutney. Both the turkey and the potato are delicious. Sure, the mint chutney is a neon green, but it's good

During the summer, the area outside has free music and bands. I wish they'd do a better job at advertising. Bring your lawn chair and water and snacks and dance and meet people.

There is a public restroom the restaurants share at the end of a long hallway. The women's room has two stalls, one sink is out of service It's well lit, but creepy. I'd walk with a friend. The men's restroom is to the left. Pretty clean. I wish there was a hook for a purse. I had to hang my purse on the corner of the door. I'd be great if they had consulted with a woman about this first.

Parking: Park near Jack in the Box and walk over, it'll save you time messing with terrible drivers.“

“I have tried Indian food all over the country. From New York to San Francisco to San Diego and everywhere in between. This place is by far the best. They bring the heat if that's what your looking for and lose nothing on flavor. The Naan is special. Just the right amount of seasoning. In a city that brings flavor to every appetite, Himalayan is the king of Indian. Like many places, they allow you to choose the spice level, but unlike most places, they nail it everytime. If your in the area and feel like having Indian food, order pickup or eat in. You will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“Tired of the same old dining experience? Craving a symphony of flavors that dance on your taste buds? Look no further than Sattvik Foods, where every meal is a standing ovation for your senses. From the moment you step inside, you're greeted with the warm, aromatic embrace of spices that promises a culinary adventure. The decor? A tasteful blend of modern chic and traditional charm—think Bollywood meets Broadway. Now, let's talk food. All curries here are so velvety smooth. The Samosas are crisp little parcels of joy, hiding spiced potatoes and peas that pack a punch. And the service? Impeccable. The staff navigates the bustling dining room with the grace of seasoned performers, ensuring your glass is never empty and your plate is always full. Whether you're a spice novice or a seasoned curry connoisseur, Sattvik Foods' consistently scrumptious offerings will have you singing its praises. Just be prepared to book your encore performance—you'll definitely want to return for an encore!“

“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!“

“Genuinely surprised on how good this place was I’ve been to many Indian food places and this one takes the cake. The service was fast the waiter was so nice and the portions were big I was more than satisfied please if you can give it try.(ps. The mango lassi comes in a big glass extra points)“

“Celebrating a Milestone for a family member, one of my favorite types cuisine....I would go back again !!!“

“We came upon this place while looking for a new place to eat while visiting from west Texas, and we were not disappointed! We got the green coconut curry, butter chicken, mussels, cheese naan, and gulab jamun as well as nimbu pani and spice on ice tea. Everything was flavorful and delicious with very generous servings for the price (although I wish we got just a little more rice). Next time we are in town I definitely want to dine in.“

“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.“

“I went to Royal India yesterday for Mothers Day and had a wonderful satisfying meal. I highly recommend the Lamb Biryanis and the Vegetable Korma. Both were excellent. It was very busy and they were a little short staffed but our food was delivered to our table within 20 minutes of ordering it and our server was very attentive. We will definitely be back!“

“We love their food. The lamb curry and chicken tikka masala were so delicious 😋“

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

“Retuning customer, ordered Chana Batura (pretty good) and Paneer paratha, which was just ok. The restaurant has a welcoming ambiance with plenty of seating. They also serve lunch specials, which are a must try and taste better compared to ala carte menu.“

“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.“

“Went for the lunch special, food was AMAZING!! Best Indian food I've had. The meat and veggie entrees are great, super friendly service, good portions and prices. Recently went to a more "trendy" Indian restaurant which was literally twice the cost for much smaller portions, and Tandoori House blew them out of the water!“

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

“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“

“Awesome food and good hospitality“

“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!“

“I was visiting San Diego and stopped in to Curry & More to grab some Indian for dinner (take out). I started chatting with the owner and hit it off. I'm a bit of a self declared Indian-food connoisseur myself, and I had a good chat with the owner about his dishes. I ordered a couple of dishes and took them home. They were F'ing delicious... so much flavor. The items in ordered definitely stood out compared to standard Indian restaurant food.

I'd recommend this place if you like Indian food.

Oh, one other thing that I thought was nice: the menu is set up such that you get to select your side dishes with the main that you order.“

“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.“

“Omg!!! The coconut Margarita is a game changer!!!! Staff is so friendly, and very welcoming! Get your butt I’m here and try this amazing concoction!!!“

“Great service, quality, value and warm atmosphere .“

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

“I know nothing about the seating arrangements, pricing (high or low…I’m from out of town, and door dashed). All I know is the food I ordered chicken samosa, veggie samosa, chicken biryani, garlic naan and tikka masala (spicy with chicken) is some of the best Indian food that I’ve had on this side of the world. Highly recommend!“

“Great food! I’m not vegetarian but I could be with food this good! I will definitely be back!“

“Enjoyed our Indian Lunch.Brought a group of four here and we had a feast. Food came out hot and tasty.Great for sharing with friends and family.Plenty of parking lot parking.We left feeling supremely full. And even had leftovers for later.I would recommend coming here for authentic food.“

“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“

“The food and service were amazing! I will definitely go again..“

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