The overall experience was pleasurable. The inside of the restaurant is nicer than the outside. The hidden gem of this place is in their "Indian Flatbread Pizzas". It is like gourmet pizza on roids with very unique flavor combinations. I've had better Indian/Korean food at other places but this place is definitely putting alot of great effort into their Indian style pizzas. The tindaloo Pizza was off the charts. Will definitely come back for the pizza.Dietary restrictions: Vegan and Vegetarian options

I was extremely disappointed with the achari paneer pizza I recently ordered. The pizza was completely lacking in flavor and had absolutely no taste. I was expecting a burst of spices and tanginess, but instead, I was met with a bland and unappetizing pizza. I had high hopes for this pizza, especially since it was advertised as an achari flavor, but it was a complete letdown. I would not recommend this pizza to anyone looking for a satisfying, flavorful meal.

Unfortunately, the food was excellent. So I can't really give this restaurant a lower rating. However, the floor was literally sticky, and the service was gross af. The server was sweeping the floor and the seats with the same dirty broom. He first brought us dirty water cups. When the food was ready, he stopping sweeping and went straight to the kitchen to get the food, and didn't wash his hands between sweeping and serving. We didn't notice it at the time... but then when he brought out the food and went back to sweeping, we noticed he forgot to give us any cutlery/napkins/serving spoons for anything. He proceeded to stop sweeping and go to a nearby table and handled the cutlery to bring to us. He did the same thing to other customers too. Oh, and while repeatedly trying to make small talk with us he said some racist stuff. We loved the food so it's a damn shame that their employee is clearly a bad hire. Would recommend getting food to go.

Landons is such a delicious place to eat, enjoy a few drinks, good conversation and relax. Good family style options and vegan/ vegetarian options as well as great appetizers, looks like they recently added a few new things to the menu and altered it so I had to try out the new picks, the chicken and veggie momos were delicious. But the tikka and Chetinadu have my heart! I will continue to come enjoy all their delicious options! Cory is a sweetheart and makes you feel so welcomed and taken care of! Thanks Cory you're awesome!

Visited this place yesterday and we totally loved the food here. We ordered Tikka fries as startwra along with lemon coriander soup and both were amazing also tried fried rice, Hakka noodles , chilli chicken, cheese pizza and paneer Tikka pizza. Everything was so yummy. The quantity of each dish was also good. We were taken care of by Corry (sorry if I m spelling it wrong). He took an amazing care of our guests and us. Thanks and I am sure we will be visiting often

we happened to find Landon's while looking for vegan options open on christmas and we lucked into the most beautiful buffet style dinner. we thought we might have to get food to go cause we brought our dog, but they let us bring our dog in. the food was so good and the people were so friendly. would definitely recommend!Vegetarian options: staff was knowledgeable and kind about helping us find options that met our dietary requirementsParking: great location and parking

Amazing changes to the cuisine at Landon's! I hadn't been back for years (COVID) and met with friends there last week... surprised in the massive menu changes but oh wow was our food amazing!! We tried some Indian food apps, Korean chicken and Hakka noodles.. and the kids had ... pizza, really good pizza! Kid area seems permanently closed which is a bummer but we all had a great meal and took a lot of leftovers home.

The family and I stopped in to Landon's for an impromptu dinner after being out and about and overall it was great. The food is really great. We had pizza and fries, fish & chips, buffalo bacon fries, sliders and burnt garlic fried rice and it was all perfect. The variety of the cuisine is truly special as they seem to be good at making just about any kind of food there is. Our only complaint was the service. There seemed to be confusion about who was working and who was our waitstaff and if we ordered or not. Even at the end, I was left there to closing out the bill by getting up and walking to, what I assumed, was the manager. No one was rude but no one was, what anyone would call, attentive. Still, if they clear up the staff/organizational issues this place will be great...in the meantime, maybe just order delivery cuz the food is worth it!

This is honestly one of our favorite places in San Diego and one of the few restaurants my whole family of picky/restricted eaters can go and find something to eat together. It is a unique gem in a sea of chain restaurants and I hope Landon's always stays in San Marcos.My picky husband has an easy time ordering American classics like wings and fries, but their fusion and Indian food is exciting enough for adventurous foodies.Some of my favorites are their tikka masala with chicken, paneer, or tofu, and the butter paneer pizza is mind blowing. I've never had a bad meal here and it's one of the first places I take visitors to town. I would recommend this place to anyone. There is always a table available and I don't know why it doesn't have a line out the door - it's a well kept secret I guess? I want to spread the word so more people come here!Vegetarian options: Plenty of veggie specific foods, and most meals come with the option of tofu or paneer instead of meat.Parking: Drive right up to the entrance and park. Easy accessWheelchair accessibility: Drive right up to the entrance and park. Easy access, no big curbs or detoursDietary restrictions: Easy to find gluten free and vegetarian options.
This restaurant enticed me to bring my wife here for her birthday. The fusion of east, far east and west is apparent when you walk in the door. The smell of curry spices, truffle oils and spring onions entered my nose and I was enticed instantly.The music is good, oldies but goodies so you can relax and enjoy the food. A mixture of sports and asian themed shows are playing on the TVs.The service is great. As soon as I entered i asked for a glass of water and ice for my dog outside and they even offered me a bowl. The service knew the menu well and tried to understand our experience with Asian foods before making recommendations, hats off to that.So we went with the Lamb Saag with Rice and a Tikka Paneer Pizza. The food took about 15 and 20 minutes to come out, which i understand with lamb.Taste was great, the Pizza definitely had that curry sauce flavor and when you adjusted the salt and spice level crushed red peppers and parmesan it really made the dish pop. There was also a combination of two types of red onions (cooked and uncooked) and cilantro. The Saag was a beautiful flavor profile that was not overdone with salt like some other places. The rice was cooked perfectly and made a great pairing. The lamb was perfectly cooked each piece was tender and season well.Side note the pizza crusts made great dippers for the Saag.We did focus on the Indian centric flavors today but hope to come back for some other flavor combos.Vegetarian options: Plenty of vegetable options for almost all the dish combos they make. Pizza, paneer, saag, fried rice, chow mien, soups and salads all had vegetarian optionsKid-friendliness: Doesn't seem to be a place people are drinking and the music is fun and entertaining. There are some good dishes for kids like the grilled cheese with basil tomato soup.Parking: Tons of parking including over 10 ada compliant.Wheelchair accessibility: Absolutely and the staff will move around tables to help more.Dietary restrictions: There is a few gluten free options but most dishes are but don't advertise it maybe because of a condiment. Mostly you will be at home here if you are vegetarian.Stay away if your low FODMAP because everything is seasoned with condiments that will not sit well with your diet.

I would highly recommend one of the best restaurant locally located in neighborhood. We visited, today. Everything was so delicious, great service, customer service. Staff and owner works so hard and providing the best service. Thank you.

Simply Fantastic. My husband and I came to Landon's years ago and thought this was the same restaurant... attention- it is not the bougie 'avocado toast' place of its former name. This Landon's is North Indian food made of all wonderful spices and love! Don't let the empty parking lot and abandoned buildings around scare you. The staff was very friendly and warm and the atmosphere was comfortable but, MOST IMPORTANTLY, the food was excellent. We started off with the Tikka fries which was delicious and a very large serving. Then we shared the Chilli Chicken with Noodles- AMAZING and a fast favorite and then shared the Achari Gobhi pizza- also fantastic. I would highly recommend any of these dishes and i can't wait until we come back.
