Best Indian food ever! Worth the drive from anywhere in the bay area.
The cauliflower samosas had just the right amount of heat, the rice was perfect, and the Saag Paneer was out of this world.
If you enjoy Indian food, this is the place to go. So many good menu choices. I can't wait to go back🥰
Delicious food - we had Saag Paneer, Tandoori Mixed Grill, Lemon Rice - beautifully presented. Great service in a lovely setting. We will be going again and again to try their many different dishes!
Delish food!!! So much on the menu. Will take several more trips to taste more!!!

Essence Indian Cuisine provides a pleasant dining experience with flavorful dishes and attentive service. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Butter curry, and channa masala are highlights, perfectly spiced to preference. The lamb vindaloo and garlic naan also received praise for their great flavors. Tasty sides like Jeera rice and Onion Kulcha complement the main courses well. The restaurant caters to dietary restrictions, with a wide selection of gluten-free options clearly marked on the menu. Guests have enjoyed dishes like coconut curry lamb, which is well seasoned and juicy, with meat that has its own flavor. The naan is also highly praised for its size and taste. While the food is delicious and reasonably priced, some guests noted that calling in an order might mean a longer wait, often around an hour, but the fresh preparation ensures good quality and taste. Overall, this is a highly recommended spot for authentic Indian cuisine in Vacaville.
