Not the swankest Indian restaurant I've eaten in, but the food was delicious, the service was so friendly, I would recommend if you're looking for a low-key enjoyable evening.

Absolutely wonderful! All of the food was delicious and the service was excellent! They have a separate menu for all of their vegan options which made ordering a breeze! Would absolutely recommend and return!

Flavor of India is the final oasis of authentic Indian food before you have to traipse into Indian-food-desert-wasteland that is the Santa Ynez Valley.
The guys are amazingly friendly, and the food is just plain ol’ and excellent quality North Indian deliciousness. Get your chicken tikka masala, your garlic naan, and a side of jasmine rice to go on your way up to the valley. A “mild” is fine for the little ones, and a “spicy” will put a smile on...
