Take out. Whole wheat roti didn't seem like whole wheat roti and was maida (as far as I can tell). Also the aloo paratha came with no side, not even raita.

I’ve been discovering new foods I’ve been too scared to try. I decided this evening that I was ready to try Indian Food. Flavor of India was the best choice I could have made. I ordered Veggie Biryani, Garlic Naan, Saag Chana and the Chicken Tikka.The Veggie Biryani was moist and full of so many flavors. The Saag Chana was so creamy and filling. The Garlic Naan was warm and soft and flavorful. The Chicken Tikka was delicious but it was definitely not the star of the show.I have never enjoyed a meal as much as I enjoyed this meal. The portions are abundant and filling. Definitely enough to feed 3-4 people. The pricing is very fair, and definitely worth it. I just finished my meal but I am already looking forward to visiting Flavor of India again.I should also mention I ordered this meal to go, it was ready when I arrived and the staff was inviting and very nice. I took it home and it was all perfectly warm still. If you are questioning whether or not to visit, you definitely should. 10/10.Wheelchair accessibility: The ramp to access the restaurant is wide and easy to access.
I moved out to Santa Barbara from the bay area for college about 3 years ago. I found this fantastic place within about a month of living down here. I have been coming back ever since. Most definitely some of the best Northern and Southern Indian food in all of California. Just thinking about this now is making me and my girlfriend hungry. If you get a chance to check this place out say Hello to Raj the Owners son who runs the place. He is the best.

DO NOT EAT HERE. I got dinner here Thursday night and I ended up in the hospital with food poisoning. I called the restaurant to let them know that there may be expired ingredients that they should check and the man I spoke with argued with me that they only had fresh ingredients. I told him that's great, but whatever ingredients were in the food I was served put me in the hospital. He then asked me if I had ordered via Doordash or in the restaurant, which I don't understand the relevance of that question? I had ordered from the counter when I walked inside. Unbelievable that a restaurant owner wouldn't at least double check the kitchen after being told that. I called the county food inspector and let them know as well.

Love this place!! Staff is great and kind. The atmosphere is cozy. Easy parking. Food is scrumptious ?!!! I've not had a bad dish yet, but the chai tea is my favorite, and they keep my cup full!

Best indian food in the area. Hands down. Cool, quirky resteraunt in old-town SB. Been there my whole life and I love it. I didn't appreciate indian food variety until I worked in one (different resteraunt.) Flavor of India brings to light the nuance of Indian cusine through specific flavors, which can get lost if not done right. Flavor of India does this right.

We've been going here for years. Food and service are consistently excellent. And for those of us that have trouble ingesting "hot" Indian spices, this restaurant will prepare truly mild dishes upon request!

Had to give one star to this restaurant, since that the least I can! Highly Overpriced food which tastes like garbage, can’t believe other reviews says it’s authentic Indian food, guess they never had authentic Indian food. Poorly cooked food, dal makhni was not even real dal makhni. Cook definitely doesn’t know how to cook Indian food, tasteless undercooked food. I would rather starve than eating again at this place.

Went for the buffet for $17.49. Felt more like home-made bland food. I was expecting restaurant style tasty food. Desserts were great though.

I can here recently with my friend and we are both very accustomed to indian food. We came to try the 17.95 all you can eat buffet from 11-3 and were very disappointed in the quality of the food. The wait staff was very nice and attentive but that can't make up for the fact that the food itself was lacking. Specifically the chicken tikki masala, a staple of indian cuisine here in america, was very bad. The chicken was very dry and very unseasoned. The other items in the buffet weren't much better. The restaurant itself was alright i guess, they have a weird decor setup but that isn't really and issue for me, I just wish the food was better.
