Brian BimschlegerMay 2, 2019The Mattar Paneer curry was wonderful. Get it “spicy” or one notch below.
Moo JuJuly 5, 2013Lunch buffet is a great deal! However, bring plenty of quarters if you street-park; they won't give you change.
James VincentOctober 22, 2013This is one of my very favorite spots. Great food. Amazing service and the ambiance is classic.
M SalvateraMarch 20, 2010Get a nice bottle of Sauvignon Blanc and the Chefs tasting menu. Perfect for two!
Maha AlhusseinFebruary 5, 2016Food was ok. Not worth the 500 years wait for your waiter to show up. Seriously though, you'll wait for at least 30 minutes then another 45 minutes for your food. 👎🏽
Sestar AngelApril 2, 2012First time here. Very nice place. Loved the decor and atmosphere. Service wasn't good. Food tastes allright. very over priced food with small portion. Would not return.
Sisily SissonMay 4, 2013Huge disappointment tip do not complain about your service to the manager. Or your entire party will have to wait another hour with the worst service!!!! Will never recommend this place!!
Ahmad AlandousDecember 17, 2016To be honest with you guys, it's the worst Indian restaurant I have ever been 🙁
Kelly BoneJune 22, 2013By request, the chef can make the Korma with coconut cream! It's vegan, dairy free and amazing!

Michael Reyes - 7.2
"Great food. The house-made hummus is a great appetizer, and a way to get some naan to also dip in your curry. The chili-lime-chicken skewers are amazing, but so spicy!"
Rachel Mercer - 7.6
"Sooooooo good! Favorite Indian restaurant in San Diego! Best Naan I had in SoCal!"

"$8 if you go before 4 or 5pm, $10 anytime after that. They always have great indie and foreign films. Oh, and the popcorn is great too! Try the jalapeño seasoning and prepare to be amazed."
