Been to the packing house many times and first time trying Adya. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan, and Lamb Biryani. It was good! I would definitely eat here again. Coming back for the Chicken Tika Masala The main complaint here, it is a little pricey, but most restaurants are at the Packing District. read more

ADYA - Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan, and Lamb Biryani - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Walked around with friends trying to figure out what to eat and ended up here. The spot has some hype behind it since the head chef won Chopped, so expectations were pretty high going in. I'll say this first, you can tell the ingredients are fresh and the quality is there. Nothing tasted cheap or poorly made. But flavor wise, it just didn't hit for me. The tikka masala leaned way too sour and tomato heavy. It was missing that smooth, creamy, slightly sweet and herbal balance that makes tikka masala so satisfying. It honestly reminded me more of a marinara sauce than a traditional curry, which threw me off. Tried the goat cheese naan too. Super loaded with cheese, so if you like that strong tangy flavor you might enjoy it. For me it was a bit too sour and overpowering. Overall, I respect the quality and effort, but the flavor profile just didn't match what I look for in Indian food. Might be worth trying if you like a more modern or experimental take, but if you're craving that classic comforting curry, this might not fully satisfy. Service was friendly ! read more

ADYA - All Rice so disappointing - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Let me say the people there are top notch and really care about your eating experience. The presentation is beautiful. Authentic Indian flavors and seasonings. It takes a bit for your good to come out so don't be in a hurry. I tried the goat cheese naan and it was soft, chewy and cheesy. I also tried the Malai Chicken which was flavorful with the spicy cilantro sauce. The rice had a cinnamon flavor and the salad was a nice variety of veggies. A lot of food. read more

Came here last night when the original plan was to come to Healthy Junk at the Anaheim Packing House, not realizing they had permanently closed! My friend and I walked around in search for some vegan food for me. Luckily, this spot stood out to me as having some cute decor and I figured, Indian food must have vegan options! I was pleasantly surprised to see the menu had labeled its vegan options, but the item that seemed most intriguing to me was labeled as vegetarian, not vegan! This item was the Chana masala burrito, which sounded so unique to me, especially since I love fusion food! I decided to inquire while my friend was placing her order to see if it could be made vegan. I was excited to learn, that it could be veganized, although the employees said that it would taste more bland. My friend and I took a seat at the counter, which was designated for customers only. The seating was comfortable and spacious. Our order was ready very quickly, but not too quickly that would make me question the quality! The burrito had a lovely texture and flavor and the tortilla really sopped up the flavors of the curry. It was creamy and luscious and had a great kick to it! They had added some hot sauce and tamarind sauce which really balanced out the flavors well. There is a lot, but it was filled up when we arrived. Thankfully, there was street parking in the neighborhood, although I had to drive around a couple of times to find a spot! I would definitely return when in the area. read more

I've personally never had good food at the packing district and tonight did not disappoint. I thought Indian food sounded great but I was shocked at how bad the lamb curry was. It was about a 20+ minute wait. There was nothing remarkable about the dish. It was watery, had very little lamb, the lamb was rather gamey, flavor was not strong at all, and the rice was overly dry. Would not ever recommend. It's also very loud (when they have DJs) and you can barely hear anyone. read more

This place was very delicious, I got the tandoori chicken plate, my chicken was a little undercooked, and I let them know, and that immediately took it and offered me something to munch on while I waited, which was very kind of them, but I declined cause I was looking forward to my food. They did end up, bringing us out a little appetizer to try, which was very kind. The people here are very, very kind, very attentive and they care about what their customers feel when they leave. Lots of flavor in the food highly recommend. read more

Ordered the Saag Paneer with Garlic Naan. $25 (including tax). The portion was fairly small for the price, but it had a good flavor. The rice was plain with a bit of cinnamon thrown in. The naan was fine. The service was okay. Not super friendly but not bad either. Wouldn't be totally against trying something else, but for the price I expect a bit more. read more

ADYA - Saag Paneer - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Hello to home is reading this. I went here a couple days ago and the service and food was excellent. I'm not sure why the stars on this page are low but I believe it should be a five star. I know everybody has their own preference but to me, it was excellent and the staff was wonderful and the food was perfect so I give it to all five stars and I think everybody should give it a shot. The ambience is nice and mellow inside the Anaheim packing house. read more

My only regret: having paid for this meal with money I don't have but hunger is a great seasoning. Got me through half the paneer burrito and scouring through the other half for paneer where the sauce hadn't ruined the rice carrying too much texture. Samosa chaat were small and sad. The chaat part was too saucy for camera. But not bad samosas. The guy taking the lunch break was eating 3 fluffy pancakes.. I couldn't stop eyeing them until there was no more paneer in my burrito. Naanwich looked like a better choice. From what I heard the lamb was good kebab. read more

I didn't hate my meal- but I definitely didn't love it. Overall I feel it lacked flavor. ADYA is located in the Packing House. It was our first time there so me and my fam did a walk through of the whole place. There are so many choices!! We all got din from different restaurants, such a fun concept. I went with ADYA because I love paneer masala and when I saw they had a paneer masala burrito I thought that was so unique and had to try it. The burrito comes with paneer masala, basmati rice, lentils, and mint chutney (although it was mostly rice). There was an option to add on a side of masala sauce for $2 and I did because I'm a sauce girly. Sauce already comes in the burrito but I was glad I got the side because it was dry as is. The burrito was big enough to make me full but I think someone with a bigger appetite would still be hungry. I got a cup of water and it was a very small paper cup. Other restaurants my fam tried gave out large glasses of water. I haven't eaten at a restaurant without checking Yelp reviews in years and wanted to be spontaneous so I went with what I thought looked good. If I saw the reviews I'm not sure if I would have ordered ADYA, but no regrets! read more

Wow! That goat cheese garlic naan was freakin fire!!! What a hit! I like naan, but I've never had naan like this! Mind blown!!! The goat cheese stuffed inside just added a whole new level. It was creamy and cheesy! The naan was so fresh and warm. I would definitely order this again. Service was good. They were kind and friendly. Ambiance is causal, walk up and order. There are tables and chairs nearby. read more

Walking around the Anaheim Packing House, we looked for something different to sample. Came across ADYA, by the winner of Chopped, and saw some fusion items that looked interesting. Labeled as an Indian-Mex, the chicken tikka masala burrito caught my attention. Also got a garlic naan ... because I love naan. The burrito was filled mainly with rice, I'd say about 3/4, and it was bland. When I did bite into the chicken, the flavor was so mild, I felt the frozen Indian foods from Trader Joe's had better, bolder flavor. The garlic naan was very average. It needed a pinch of salt as it was also bland, I've had better. Luckily I asked for one of their spicy sauces which helped gave everything some flavor. The service and friendliness from the guy that helped us was pretty good. The food was not. Luckily, we didn't order more so we have room to sample other foods around the Packing House. There are public tables around nearby. If those are all taken. AFYA has some counter seating facing their 'kitchen'. If you do eat here, don't expect bold spicy flavors that indicative of Indian cuisine. I feel this is a very toned down version of it. read more

I don't know much about indian cuisine and was skeptical because of some of the reviews. The plate was good overall. I ordered the chicken tandoori one of their most popular dishes here. The chicken was flavorful with a little spicy very delicious , the rice was a bit too acidic for my taste but wasn't bad at all & the salad was great im not sure why others complained. Definitely would try this place again read more

ADYA - Tandoori Chicken - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Adya has been my favorite Indian restaurant for years. I always order the chicken tandoori, and it is my favorite chicken tandoori because it tastes great, always comes out a bit crispy, and is a more natural color than the unsettling bright red that most of the other chicken tandoori I've had has been. My husband always orders biriyani, and he has had it with chicken, lamb, and on rare occasions, when available, shrimp. It is always outstanding as well, full of flavor. The proprietor of the restaurant, Shachi, is a sweetheart, and she is always friendly to us when she is there. Her manager, Rudy, is just as friendly and helpful as well. Because this restaurant is in the Anaheim Packing District, the location can be crowded and noisy. Many nights we go, there is a live band or a DJ. However, the food is so good that we keep coming back. I highly recommend Adya! read more

They had us at Tilki Masala BURRITO! It's tasty, humongous and spicy! It's the first and BEST burrito of this kind and we loved it! I ordered a samosa chat and it's spicy too (in my opinion) but very flavor-able and filling. Both items are very good and I would definitely order the same items next time I visit. read more

My favorite spot at Anaheim Packing District. The pani puri is crisp with well balanced flavors. I will buy this every time. The goat cheese naan is very unique and delicious (especially if you already love goat cheese, like me). Service is always great because everyone there is very nice. I went on a Sunday night and did not wait long. I like the free cucumber water they give, and my favorite dishes are their saag paneer and tikka masala. read more

One star for the nice guy at the counter but no stars for the tandoori chicken and rice I had. The rice tasted like straight up lemon juice with no salt or any other flavor. The chicken had no flavor except for a mild hint of spice. Overall, I would not return nor recommend this place. read more

The place was at very corner of the Food court inside packing district and I came here because of their bread... It was good as the first time I tried in Philadelphia. I gave 3 stars because of the service was too slow. The server told me its just 5 minutes but it took me almost 15 minutes, just for one bread and a cup of dipping sauce. The place was small but its clean. read more

Found the packing district on accident. Just in the area for a trip to Disneyland. Thought the district would give me plenty of options for dinner. So I chose Adya Indian food.

Executive Chef Shachi Mehra was the winner on the tv show Chopped. I've watched that show and so excited to visit this location. When you enter from the valet parking lot it's located on the second floor, back right corner opposite of the main entrance doors. Great service and you get to watch them in action. Tandoori ovens and skewers lined with the cooked meats served fresh. There's bar seating on the side counter for customers and their signature hot sauce stares at you. Taunting you to get a bottle and feel the burn. Full of flavor! These veggie samosas packed a bright punch. It has the traditional dipping sauce flavors all combined into one. Making these parcels the perfect bite. read more

This was disappointing. The burrito was almost all rice--dry rice. There was barely any sauce or lentils. I got excited whenever I saw a piece of paneer so I could have something to eat. As I bit into the burrito a bunch of rice just fell out, and it continued with each bite. It was flavorless and sad. Out of all the places to choose, I made a bad choice. If I had to return, I would order the samosa cholle, but I have a neighborhood place with solid chaat options, and I wanted something new. I do appreciate the menu items clearly marked as vegan and vegetarian. read more

This place was okay overall. The samosas were on the smaller side but had plenty of chutney, which was tasty. The chicken biryani was flavorful and definitely the best dish out of the two. However, the real star of the meal was the garlic naan - it was absolutely delicious! The food is prepared fresh so there is a bit of a wait. read more

ADYA - Samosa Chaat and Chicken Biryani - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Watery curry. Bland. No consideration of presentation. Overpriced. I should've known better than to eat somewhere without checking reviews first(especially for a place that puts a "modern/contemporary" spin on the recipe). And they were right, this place is overpriced. $25 for a measly amount of curry and naan. For less money I've gotten more food and with better flavor at other Indian restaurants. The naan was burnt on the bottom too, rendering it nearly inedible. I don't expect for all restaurants to always have the best tasting food, but I'm disappointed when I pay more for what the food is really worth. Side note: for a restaurant that claims to care about "sustainability", as mentioned on their website: "The menu revolves around fresh, sustainable ingredients and focuses on contemporary interpretations", their throwaway only "plates" seem to suggest otherwise. read more

Ordered a few things from the menu via delivery so I am not reviewing the ambience or the service. I ordered the Pani puri which was delicious. The sev puri was good too although I prefer and expected flattened puris rather than the puffed ones. The samosa chaat was my least fave dish. It had yogurt which was very sour. The Gulab jamuns were cute and tasty. However there was a sprinkling of something on top which looked like pistachios so not great for nut allergies. The food was good but I have had better especially for their prices. read more

Absolutely mid Chicken tikka masala. $20 to get rice and chicken with some unspiced tomato sauce. Mind you - for the price you don't even get naan bread or a drink just the bare minimum of food. Save your money and eat somewhere else. If you really want this meal go get a trader joe's frozen meal version of this - at least that has more flavor. 1/5. read more

I don't know why people are hating on this place for the price to food ratio. Their food is BOMB! I love trying new Indian food and so glad I stumbled upon Adya inside Anaheim Packing District. They specialize in modern Indian food. We only got one thing off their menu since we wanted to try different foods within the food hall but I would come back here again to try more of their items! 5/5: Keema Pav - This is their spiced minced lamb slider that came with pink pickled onions and a green sauce. The potato bun was warm and soft with a lightly sweet flavor that reminded me of brioche bun. The spiced minced lamb meat was DELICIOUS. It's like a sloppy Joe texture with big chunks of minced lamb packed flavor with the spices. This was not as spicy for the people that can't do spice. We gobbled it up fast. The price was around $11ish with tax and was very reasonable priced. Maybe if they added a small side and charged $15-16 people would stop complaining about the portion to sizes? Of course you're not filled after this but I thought it was decent price for the quality of flavor you get. That's why you gotta order more to try on the menu. read more

I think this place is so popular more because of the location than the food and prices. The service is fine and the ambiance is great, always love the nicely decorated seating areas around the place. The Lamb Biryani I had was actually quite good, but the reason this review isn't 5 stars is that it's just too pricey for too little. I was expecting more toppings for $20, some veggies, a salad, but I got exactly lamb and biryani. Even if it tastes good, I can't justify coming here again when there are plenty of other Indian places with much better prices. read more

ADYA - Lamb Biryani - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Ordered the garlic Naan, samosa app, and tikka masala. The tikka masala is supposed to be a "best seller" dish according to the menu, but that must be incorrect. It was lackluster with no flavor, watery sauce in taste and consistency, and in desperate need of adjusting to make it edible. Threw it away after a few bites. The samosa chaat was delicious and saved this review from getting a lower rating. Garlic Naan was subpar. Very disappointed overall. If had read reviews beforehand, I wouldn't have come here. read more

Wow! So much flavor! The sev puri was a bit sour and needed a touch more tamarind sauce but it was still so good and crunchy! The Chana masala was so flavorful and mild in heat. The tandoori was a little spicy-er but still not too much! The rice with the chicken was a little too much lemon! Finally the goat cheese naan was soooo creamy and soft! Highly recommend read more
