I'm only recently gluten intolerant but I have had a hard time finding my GF food in San Diego, which is also family friendly (i.e. not dry salads, which kids hate).This place was awesome. Highly recommended to anyone whether gf or notI found the restaurant on a Gluten free app called "Find Me GF" thanks guys you made my day. ??Also we loved the wall paper!Dietary restrictions: LOTS of Gluten free and other allergy options (lime more than half the menu. Call and ask, really helpful friendly owners.“

Our favorites have been idli (has gotten better over time), vada, pongal and bhel puri. The dosas are decent too. Kids like their set dosa. The chutneys are very good too. I notice that with most South Indian restaurants, the quality of chutneys deteriorates over time, but so far they've maintained the quality. I really hope they keep up the quality of food.“

“Update review-We haven’t really been back here for over a year! It’s so close to us and we should have it more because the food here is so delicious, plus their price is so reasonable. We went there on a Friday night, it’s packed. Although they are slow, their service is still good. We are very satisfied with the foods we ordered, I had a vegetable coconut curry and my hubby had a chicken chilli, both are amazingly delicious! We will definitely come back more!Previous review- One of my favorite restaurants in this neighborhood. We came here a lot before pandemic and we tried their lunch buffets, they were amazing. But they don’t serve buffet anymore. It’s fine because their foods are always so delicious, and the price is very reasonable. I recommend my all the time favorites, saag paneer, chicken tandoori and garlic naans. We also tried their fried rice this time, it’s so yummy as well. I will definitely come back here to try more things.“

Authentic Indian cuisine with excellent quality and value. We ordered the non-veggie and veggie meals of the day, somosas and roti. If I lived closer, I’d absolutely order several meals a week.“

“3.5 stars... rounds up to 4? I guess? It's a cute place in cute South Park. Great atmosphere, colorful and airy. Really young clientele when we went, which was just when they opened.The food was decent, but not astounding. The tomato creme based dishes were notably thin and watered down, and the rice could have been cooked a few minutes more. The Naan was great though, as were the appetizers (Samosas and some potato pancake sort of thing, I think?).Service was a bit scarce, but the pleasant demeanor of the server easily made up for it. Also, note to Management: please inform the wait staff that providing the customer with a bill to review BEFORE they pay isn't some extraneous old-timey "boomer" thing, but a standard transactional necessity for customers. People need to know exactly what their bill is comprised of before they pay (you don't just verbally tell them a total and ask for a credit card). That's the point of bringing the bill first. It's in everyones' best interest to make sure there aren't errors!Thanks, Curiosity. We enjoyed ourselves!“

It's pretty amazing how pleasant, kind, and attentive the service is, and how nicely decorated and presented the plates and dishes are. I suggest all chicken dishes, but especially Chicken 65 and " Chicken dum Biryani." Any finicky eater, like me, will appreciate the meals here. I say this from experience.“

We shared the Chicken Korma, Chicken Saag, Garlic Naan. The restaurant looks like more of a “fast food/take out” place and is in a shopping area. It’s not fancy, but a nice, casual place with friendly staff and great service. We also liked the “sauce” bar. I’ve eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants and this tops my list, You won’t be disappointed!“
