Curry Hut is in a small plaza with limited parking (although cars frequently come and go). It's a cozy place with only six tables, but most people pick up their food and go anyways. The employees and courteous and patient, especially for those who are visiting for the first time. They constantly are turning out dishes to refill their counter hot plates and everything looks and smells delicious. They have a short list of meal combos; I went with the 2 item combo and of course upgraded to garlic naan. I got goat curry and palak paneer, along with a mango lassi. The mango lassi tasted different than others I've had; it was more on the tart side. It wasn't terrible, but it wasn't one of my favorites. The goat curry and palak paneer along with warm rice were amazing! I could bathe in their palak paneer. Their food also didn't feel heavy, even though it was a very filling meal. I HIGHLY recommend this spot for a quick lunch to pick up or even for catering! If I find myself in Fullerton again soon, this would definitely be one of my top destinations.

Ample parking in the structure and maybe some on the street. Sameer our server handled a huge crowd with ease. Very sweet and friendly. We had a few appetizers, Pani puri pretty good and easy to eat because how it's served like shots, bhel puri was ok and tasted a bit old. The lamb seekh were a bit hard and too gamey for me. The new york steak and tomahawk were pretty darn amazing!!! Perfectly moist and juicy with the right amount of flavor. Their boneless karahi was ok though do love the flavor of the one they serve at The Mint. Their mocktails we tried were the Mango Mojito, Falsatini and Smoked Negroni. Love them all. Then for desserts we had hot chocolate samosas and hot shahi gulab jamun. Both very good. Definitely a must try!

Chicken tikka masala is delicious & 2. I have no idea what to order. Tonight I ordered the combo dinner for one, to go. But, it fed myself and my 14-year-old (who has a bottomless pit of a stomach), with leftovers to spare! The combo included tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, 2 veggie sides (I think they were yellow dal tadka & saag paneer), samosa, an appetizer of some sort of fried deliciousness, rice, garlic naan, & a rice, pudding style dessert. First off the chicken tikka masala is absolutely delicious! So rich & creamy. I'm so glad I ventured out of my lane because each dish was so flavorful. The dishes are made fresh to order, so be patient. I promise it's worth the wait! I can't wait to come back for one of their all-you-can-eat lunch buffets so that I can explore more flavors. Sorry for the lack of photos. By the time I remembered that I should probably take one, half of the food was already devoured.

Eggroll, samosas, potatoes and cauliflower, masala, goat curry, tandoori chicken and a couple others I can't remember. Also had mango lassi and soda for drink options. They also brought out some garlic naan to the table which was good too. For the price and variety and comfortable seating, I can't complain. Would recommend.

For dessert I ordered gulab jamun. Garlic Naan- It is soft and fluffy with a light char. It has a generous amount of butter and garlic. Chicken Tikka Masala- The chicken pieces are tender and juicy. The sauce is very flavorful. Perfectly paired with fluffy rice. Mushroom Coconut Curry- Mushroom is nice and meaty. The curry sauce is mild with a lovely creaminess. Gulab Jamun- You get the option to have this dish hot or cold, and I chose the former. The fried ball is light and spongy and absorbed the honey syrup beautifully. Great experience overall!

The owner took the time to walk us through the menu, guiding us on where to start and sharing his personal recommendations, which made the experience feel welcoming and special. He recommended his top dish is the Chicken 555. It is soooo good, very tender. Their buffet runs from 11 AM to 7 PM, which is almost unheard of since most places end around 2-3 PM. This isn't your typical buffet food either, everything was made fresh!! The meats were soft and tender, the curries were rich and flavorful, and not a single dish was watery. Every bite was perfectly balanced and deeply satisfying. The cherry on top is the Mango lassi is included with the buffet! It's super creamy, refreshing, and absolutely delicious. I genuinely love this place and am so glad I found it. I'll definitely be back and will be bringing friends and family with me. If you're looking for authentic food made with pride and heart, Curry India Bistro is a must.

Spice Social in Fullerton delivered a refined and memorable dining experience from start to finish. The ambiance is elegant, inviting, and thoughtfully designed. It strikes a balance between modern sophistication and comfort, making it well suited for an intimate dinner, a relaxed evening with friends, or a polished casual outing. The food was excellent. Each dish was beautifully presented, full of flavor, and clearly prepared with care and attention to detail. What elevated the experience even further was the service. The hospitality was exceptional, and the owner personally took the time to come over, greet us, and ensure that everything was to our liking. That level of attentiveness added a gracious and personal touch that made the evening feel even more special. One of the standout qualities of Spice Social is its broad appeal. It is an excellent introduction for diners who may be less familiar with Indian cuisine, as the menu feels approachable while still offering depth and authenticity. There is a subtle contemporary influence in some of the flavors and presentation, which makes the experience especially appealing to those who appreciate familiar elements alongside traditional Indian delicacies. I would return without hesitation and highly recommend it at any time.

This restaurant has been on my list for a while. Finally came for a lunch date…read more I was excited for some authentic masala chai. It was not impressive but I didn't complain. Service was not warm to start, but it got worse after they brought me overcooked salmon when I ordered Chilean sea bass. I told them there was a mistake and the waiter tried to convince me it was sea bass. Sea bass is white and salmon is pink with a completely different texture. He did not apologize but returned my salmon to the kitchen. Good thing I ordered garlic naan which ended up being my lunch. It was good. They even included jalapeños on it at my request. It's actually hard to overcook sea bass but they managed it. A lady came by and did apologize saying something about the fish being lost in her translation. Her English sounded perfect to me. I just smiled and said it was ok but I could smell the fish coming before it hit the table. Super fishy. But maybe it would be ok. I took a bite and another just in case I had it wrong but it tasted old. Chilean sea bass is supposed to have a buttery soft texture. It just smelled, tasted and felt old. I let her know. She went and told the waiter who I could see shaking his head. He didn't return to serve us. She closed out the bill and removed the fish at my request. If that was it I would not have left this review because cooks have off days sometimes and there are hundreds of restaurants I've eaten at that just don't need a review. But the attitude I got was uncalled for. She said they served 3 and nobody else complained. Well that was awkward. After 3 they should have known the difference between salmon and sea bass. I really enjoy Indian food. Just not going to enjoy it here. I hope this review helps other diners.

So when this place opened, we made the drive to finally try it... and I swear, this is the most authentic Pakistani food in all of SoCal. FINALLY -- a 100% authentic Pakistani restaurant has arrived here. The owners and staff are absolutely wonderful, and the service is outstanding. The Peshawari Mutton Karahi is out of this world phenomenal, the Nihari is hands-down the best I've had in California, and the Chicken Tikka was perfect. Their prices are surprisingly competitive for the area, which makes the experience even better. We are genuinely so excited that an amazing, truly Pakistani restaurant has opened here. We've waited so long for something this good -- and this place exceeded every expectation. Highly, highly recommend!

I'm not an expert of Pakistani food, and there aren't many options in the area. I tried their…read moreSunday buffet and it started off rocky. It appears to be family run and there was no one to welcome us in or tell us where to sit or how to order for about 10 minutes so we seated ourselves. It didn't help that the goth daughter was extremely strange or introverted and non communicative. The owner and workers also didn't seem friendly to outsiders if you know what I mean. The seating arrangement is terrible as they set up for large tables (visitors appear to come in large sizes/families) and you get stuck behind the chairs due to poor spacing. Since there might not be many options, I think they receive very good business from Muslims and halal eaters. In terms of food, I don't think I liked it and it gave me extreme heartburn and I love spicy food. The popper/bread is too oily for me, they don't offer garlic naan for their buffets. Sadly they also did not include the spinach dish either. The offerings were mainly meat dishes which were just ok to me (I didn't really think it was BBQ as described, more like pan seared). The 3 items that I was good with were the saucy stewed beef, the BBQ seared chicken breast (although texture was strange on some), and the mango drink which had mango chunks and not the premade stuff that is really heavy. Would I come back? Likely not... unfortunately I didn't find anything that I would crave. I felt that it was more expensive than Indian food, perhaps the halal meat is more expensive? But at Indian buffets it's slightly cheaper or they offer things like champagne, and items that I prefer like garlic naan, more vegetables dishes, and curry. Maybe Pakistani isn't my jam?

Another great thing is they don't have TVs. I noticed a lot of restaurants are putting in TVs and they're always playing when you're eating. It's so distracting but this place does not have them.. thank you. I can't complain about anything. Great lunch thank you very much! I will be coming back!. The service was great also.

Went for lunch buffet around 2pm so I'll judge and review as a buffet rather than fine dining…read morerestaurant. The buffet had a good selection of typical desi dishes including: 1- fried items (samosas, pakoras) 2- curries (chicken tikka masala, goat curry) 3- chicken kabobs (seekh, tandoori) 4- vegetarian (daal/lentils, palak/spinach, chana/chickpeas, and mixed veggies) 5- desserts (gulab jamun, kheer/rice pudding) All the chicken and meat items were halal which was great so we could try everything in the whole buffet. All the items had decent flavor. I just wish I'd gone a little earlier in the day when the buffet items were probably more fresh but that's not their fault. The standout and best item we had was definitely the naan which was made fresh to order for us and it tasted great with every item we had from the buffet. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean with a pleasant decor. Overall, I think this was pretty good value since the buffet was only $18 per person (you can't even get a sandwich or burger for that price now) so I'd recommend if you're looking for a nice Indian lunch meal with a wide selection of items without spending too much.
