“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Wonderful Dining Experience!
Went for dinner with my wife and was pleasantly surprised by how comfortable and cozy this place feels! We were warmly greeted at the entrance, which immediately made us feel welcome. The lighting and atmosphere are beautifully put together, elegant yet relaxed.
The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Butter Chicken, perfectly balanced with just the right touch of sweetness and tanginess that made the dish stand out. We also tried the Spicy Chicken Vindaloo, tender chicken thighs cooked in a rich, spicy masala sauce with potatoes. The flavors were incredible definitely something different from your typical curry, with unique spices and depth.
Our server, Baboo, was fantastic very attentive, respectful, and friendly. Excellent customer service all around. I also noticed they offer a great selection of wines, which really adds the cherry on top for a perfect date night experience.
Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for great food, ambiance, and service!“

“The food was great and the staff very friendly. I’ll definitely be back when I return to Santa Barbara!“

“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 your face. Order two to reheat another tomorrow.“

“They always make mistakes in portion sizes food is great but those small details matter too the green chutney I ordered there was barely a spoon full of chutney in there and no it’s was not spilled in the bag too please see the stuff before keeping it in the bag ☹️“
