Located in Poway by the movie theater and Board and Brew. This was my favorite Indian restaurant in…read moreNorth County (I have tried several). I have been coming here for several years. However, recently in Fall of 2025, the menu got cut back by many items. Saag Paneer is no longer available. I'm so sad. A long time ago hyderabodi vegetables was also my favorite, another item cut from the menu. Perhaps blame the demographics. If people in the area do not want variety and authentic indian food, and are ordering dulled down versions, with no spices or flavor. Perhaps its my opinion, but please keep authentic as it was. I would love to keep supporting this mom and pops. It's still tasty, food comes out pretty fast but is made fresh. Plenty of parking.

This place has unfortunately really gone down hill over the years. Doesn't seem they ever recovered…read morefrom the pandemic take-out only era, even though they still reside in this prime spot in downtown Poway at the Creekside Plaza. First, the good/okay: The food is still pretty tasty and priced about what you'd expect. One $16 entree and a rice will feed two. You will have leftovers between two adults ordering the $39 family feast. If you have a craving and are ordering delivery or take-out for two or more, you will probably be pretty satisfied. Now, the bad/ugly: The sit-down restaurant experience has become absolutely abysmal. I ordered the $39 "family feast" which comes with one appetizer, two entrees with two drinks. For those drinks, however, all that was on offer was either refrigerated cans of Coca-Cola, Diet Coke, or Sprite, or...room temperature bottles of water. I asked for additional cups of water (eating with my three kids) and was directed to a table of filthy glasses and a drink dispenser of room temperature tap(!) water (see attached picture). Also, it wouldn't be a big deal otherwise, but having to transfer the food from the disposable takeout containers to the dining ware isn't helping the ambience. One last nice-to-have would have been a...erm...less...authentic (i.e. non-spicy) kids' option. Too spicy for li'ls. I would happily revise my review if they started trying to be a decent dine-in restaurant again which would start with clean glasses, filtered water, and an ice machine.
