Every time I have to travel for work to Ventura I have to stop by Rice by Mama a couple of times. This place is the best, the chicken mango curry with red rice is my go to dish. You can't go wrong eating here, this place is awesome!

Incredibly delicious food and such generous portions! My wife said the best curry she has ever had (Panang Curry)! Highly recommended and very fair prices, especially with how big and generous the portions are!
