Andaaz is seriously a gem. The owner is one of the nicest, most genuine people I've met -- super welcoming and you can tell he really cares about the experience. The food? Unreal. The lamb curry is rich, flavorful, and so tender it basically falls apart. And the tandoori chicken is on another level -- juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with flavor. I've tried a lot of Indian food and nothing compares. Great vibes, amazing food, and top-notch service. Can't wait to go back. read more

Great hot fresh Indian food. We ordered to go. We had enough for left overs for 3 people for 2 additional meals! Very simple inside the restaurant. Not too busy on a Friday at just after lunch time (1pm-ish). Staff were very friendly. We had vegetable curry, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala, green chili chicken, rice, and garlic naan. I am gluten free and only had the veggies and chicken curry and rice. The green chili chicken was breaded-I will ask if they can make it without gluten next time. Large portions of naan-my mom and husband enjoyed. So hungry we forgot to take photos! read more

The Food is amazing here! Every dish that we tried was so tasty, highly recommend this place! Also, don't skip the mango lassi! It's an absolute must! I can't wait to go back! read more

Andaaz - Garlic Naan Tikka Masala Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

I ordered the butter chicken w rice and garlic naan bread today. SO GOOD!! I hope they get plenty of business

A generous 2 stars. I requested my tikka masala to be extremely spicy... I must have mentioned it to him several times...Apparently, my requests went through one ear and out the other...It was a tad above mild....The rice was good and the naan but the main dish just did'nt cut the mustard...With that being said, i will not be returning. read more

We tried this place on a whim - haven't had a lot of luck with Orange County Indian Cuisine. This place was SO good! The garlic cheese naan was the best naan I've ever had and sauces were so flavorful (we ordered the tikka masala and korma). The owner was so nice and service was great! I also appreciated the nice table setting and glassware. We will definitely be back! read more

Ordered for pick up and it was way more food than I anticipated and fast! Got the Tandoori chicken which was well seasoned and has a delicious smokey flavor along with the Tikka masala (also great) got the medium spice but felt like we definitely could've done hot (but I'm a spicy fan) Naan was delicious and chewy/soft texture. So happy to discovered this place and will definitely be ordering again. read more

To the point, the food is very good. The service is great and the place is very clean. All I gotta say is give it a try you won't be disappointed. Definitely gonna come back more often read more

We came here because we wanted to try a new Indian restaurant. The food was absolutely delicious. Some of the best Indian I've ever had. We had the Chicken Tikka Masala, chicken Biryani and garlic naan bread. Everything was so full of flavor and so fresh. They brought crackers with two dipping sauces that were fantastic too. My husband order a spiced iced tea and really liked it. This is our new go to for Indian food. read more

The service here is a 5/5 and the workers are really nice the prices are also super fair and as they are so close to a college campus they definitely cater towards that crowd. The food was ok although a lot of the dishes we got were a lot sweeter than I expected - but specially in comparison to other spots in the area. It was very quiet when I came and the hours here are a little different but overall it was an ok experience and makes for a quick lunch. read more

Green Chilis was recommended as a place to try for my birthday lunch. I'm usually a 'Mexican food for my birthday' guy, but I was up for something new. I'm glad I took the suggestion. The space is lovely, with good energy and a mix of clean and spices. I had the chance to meet the owner, who told me that he would be making some changes. I'm excited to come back and see what he does. As an appetizer, I ordered Samosa, crisp pastries filled with potatoes and peas served with fresh mint and Tamarind sauce. The Samosas were crispy, flaky, and stuffed. The Tamarind sauce is gold! There is a Lunch Menu with some good selections, so I ordered Vindaloo Chicken. It is cooked with hot spices & potatoes, and freshly squeezed lemon. It comes with rice and Kachumber. I also got an order for Garlic Naan. Leavened flatbread is sprinkled with garlic and cilantro, and lightly spread melted butter on top. It was warm, buttery, and delicious. The piece is big enough that I brought some home. One of the reasons that I wanted to go to Green Chilis was to try the Chicken Tandoori. Boned chicken legs marinated in yogurt, herbs & spices cooked in the tandoori oven served with sauteed green peppers and onion and topped with fresh cilantro & lemon. It came on a sizzling hot plate that announced its arrival with a dramatic entrance. The chicken had just the right amount of spice, char, and juices. The bed of grilled onions with lime juice made it just right for a birthday lunch. For dessert, I got Rice Pudding. Lightly sweetened rice cocked in a saucepan with whole milk & Indian herbs. I was too full, so I brought it home along with one of the chicken legs. If you are in the area, try it and say hello to Chef Paul. You can taste the love and passion for cooking in every bite. I'll be back even if it's not my birthday. read more

What a wonderful experience. The new owner is the chef, just took over 3 months ago. He had a successful and well-loved restaurant in Hollywood for like 14 years. The restaurant is not fully staffed yet, but what a gem it was to have this chef serve us tonight. Such an authentic person and his genuine love to serve excellent flavors really showed. We drove down from LA and happened to stop by because we were in the area for a concert. We started with samosas and it was a promising start! The filling was thoughtful and the pastry crust was perfect. Even the dipping sauces were so pure in flavor. Ordered garlic naan, tikka masala and lamb vindaloo. Every item was made with care. Flavors were specific and developed with intent, did not feel heavy at all. We were pleased with the depth of flavors and quality of ingredients. I felt blessed to have had a meal here! Haha sounds cheesy, but after meeting the chef prior to our food and experiencing his passion through his actual food was pretty special. I highly recommend. Don't judge by the "slower" service, the chef is paying more attention to the food! This restaurant deserves a lot of love, give it a try!!! read more

This is a great gem here in Costa Mesa. It is under new ownership and the new owner is very nice and attentive. I ordered a large meal for 6 people and it was all prepared well and organized. The Chicken Tikka Masala is delicious and I love the Cheese Naan. I will have to go back to eat in person because it is a very cute spot! read more

This place has been around for a little while, but new management took over I guess two months ago. I was pleasently surprised the food was out of the world. I guess the chef knows what he's doing. The Indian curries were so authentic. The quality of food was so good and the best part is that you can see a personal touch. Definitely coming back and I would rate it as one of the best Indian restaurants around although you might not feel it when you walk in as the look and feel is that of a regular place read more

The food is always amazing when I come here & everyone is so welcoming. The take out is prepared thoughtfully and is so delicious. I was offered tea while I wait for my order which was really fragrant and a great quality chai. I've tried different things each time I've came and I have the chicken korma with samosas today. I loved them both so much! The samosas are made in house & so fresh. Will keep coming back! Thank you read more

I have been coming to green chilis for over 2 years ? I think.... Time is honestly an illusion... However! What's not an illusion is their food and overall friendliness of the staff and owner. The restaurant is nestled between the shopping center with BBQ Hole Mole and the boba shop etc. Their decor is sweet, and inviting with oranges and greens to oddly make you feel more hungry. I usually get the chicken tikka masala (spicy) papadum and naan. Every time I order them they are always on point and delicious. The naan is cooked to perfection; It's crunchy and not too oily. The tikka is very good. I don't eat a lot of the chicken (my husband does) but I love to scoop the gravy up and eat it with rice and naan. Honestly, you can't go wrong with anything you order. I also, asked the owner what dish he'd recommend, one of them was lamb with spinach so I definitely have to try that next time. PSA: There's been a new owner for about almost 4 months. They did tell me that they were changing the name to AMDAAZ soon so be weary of that! The flavor won't change, and neither will the lovely owner. I had a Wonderful conversation with him. If you get the chance to talk to him, do! He's a delight. All together, it's my fave go to Indian food and I will continue to bring my family and our empty stomachs! read more

Andaaz - Chicken Tikka Masala, Naan - Indian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Green Chilis took over the location that Tandoori Fresh (Pakistani restaurant) occupied a little over 2 years ago. They offer a much more extensive menu of Indian/Pakistani fare including appetizers, entrees, sides, and desserts. Ala carte curries range in price from $16 - $18 for non-vegetarian items while vegetarian curries are $14. The also have tandoori meat items priced from $16 to $20. I stopped by during lunch time and went with their lunch special. (Lunch Special - $10) - This came with rice, naan, and 1 item (chicken curry or chicken tikka masala) or a one of their veggie dishes (aloo gobi, paneer tikka masala, chana masala, saag aloo, or daal tadka). I opted for the chicken tikka masala. For $3 more you could get 1 veggie item and 1 chicken item. The chicken tikka masala was aromatic, rich and creamy with tender pieces of chicken. It was good but taste wise it wasn't as good as the previous restaurant. It didn't seem as tangy or flavorful. I asked for my dish to be prepared medium spicy and it had a nice kick to it. The quantity is on the smaller side. I had asked for no rice just like the other table seated near me, but the server brought both our dishes out with rice. The naan tasted great and was freshly prepared. Overall I thought the food wasn't bad and the lunch prices are reasonable. It would be good if they had some more variety in the non-vegetarian lunch menu. All the food served here is HALAL. A YELP checkin gets one a complimentary soft drink. read more

An unexpected, quaint, and lovely stop. A co-worker and I have been doing "Indian month" where we visit several different Indian restaurants for the entire month, exploring styles, buffets, & the eats...this is by far my favorite. At first blush it looks like it is going to be a bit higher priced. The decor is not what we've had @ the other places--due to the linens, silverware, & glassware-- but pricing fell well in line of other places we've visited--and didn't look half as inviting. It shows the owner is shooting for solid presentation & takes pride in his place. I had a hot spiced tea with their lunch special -- a little meat & veg with garlic naan w/ rice. The picture (forgive me for being a terrible yelper--I dug in & kept doing so before thinking about taking a picture), shows how much I enjoyed the food. Quality does take time & something one would expect of a good restaurant. If you're in a rush or have a 30min lunch...a to-go order, ordering on their website, or calling might be your best bet; they're also working to add popular food delivery platforms. Those who are willing to wait & can...do it. That said, if you're in the area, getting your car serviced by one of the dealerships nearby, or in the adjacent shopping center -- give it a go! read more

Andaaz - A little meat & veg -- added garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Amazing spot in OC! I was struggling to find a place with really good butter chicken, and Green Chilis has a solid option as I learned they use real tomatoes instead of canned unlike other nearby restaurants. I don't typically branch with what I order, but all of the different dishes we tried were amazing. There is a new owner and he was incredibly kind and attentive. He gave us a free dessert at the end, a rice saffron cream based bowl. Really enjoyed trying new flavors here! read more

This place is phenomenal !! I grew up in the north of england and really miss having a good curry. I have had so many curries since moving to the US 20 years ago but this is the first time I have had anything close to the curries back home. This really is amazing. Even the Naan breads are perfect !!! read more

The services was great and the food was also great! Also priced well for the portions that you receive.

Excellent food. Owner is very kind. Being vegetarian I love Saag paneer. Channa, Daal. Rice pudding is life saving. Should try whoever is in the area read more

This place is so good! I order takeout from here and got the chicken korma (medium heat), chicken tikka masala (medium heat), chicken tandoori, onion pakora, samosas, and garlic naan. I love Indian food and it was some of the best korma I've eaten! We didn't eat in the restaurant, but it looked super cute, clean, and a comfy dining environment. It took less than 30 minutes for my food to be ready, so pretty fast, and everything was packaged well! The service was great, quick, and very friendly! I like a good amount of spice, so I would probably switch to hot next time, so I'm really excited to go back! read more

Yummy food and the service was top notch too! Robin- the owner/manager- was very personable and friendly as well. Recommend for sure!

Really High Quality Indian Great Prices!! You get a lot for your money. Come before 3pm for excellent lunch specials! read more

We randomly found this restaurant , I think it's under new ownership, the owner was very courteous and food was just like what you get in India . Kabab and lamb curry is amazing.

Green Chili's is a non greasy, healthy alternative to eating with a wonderful Indian flavor. I ordered the Chicken Tiki Masala which came with rice a traditional naan bread which was amazing! The masala was flavored so perfectly that it hit all the taste buds yet didn't overwhelm my mouth with too much spice, infect I'd say it's on the milder side of spice which might suite most people. The rice was fresh, fluffy and went well with the sauciness of the masala. My overall view of this place based on my order is that this place makes really good Indian at an affordable price and doesn't leave you with heart burn. The staff was very helpful with the menu and took my order with patience and seemed gracious to their customers. read more

Andaaz - Chicken Tiki Masala 10/10 - Indian Near Me - Costa Mesa, California

Was craving chicken biryani so wanted to try this new Indian spot. I probably wouldn't go back and based on my experience with the food I wouldn't recommend it. Their chicken biryani was very disappointing and really lacked flavor and seasoning which is what Indian food is usually known for. It was pretty bland and was in need of salt for sure. The chicken tasted old and every single piece of chicken was dry and overcooked beyond belief. Garlic naan was alright but the garlic just tasted burnt which gave it a bitter taste. The employee was also not wearing a mask when I walked in so that was a concern as well. read more

Had dinner here a few days ago and here was my experience: Food: VERY tasty and fresh- but HEAVY! We ordered a few different dishes: Veggie Pakoras - a bit denser than I prefer, but the chutneys were amazing. Chicken Korma (mild spice): probably my favorite dish - had very rich flavor and the chicken was very tender! Chicken tikka masala(medium spice): traditional, tomato forward flavor and spice was great! Very yummy Daal tadka: very good, but just needed more salt, we had to add salt to our plates as well as in the dish to really let the flavors stand out. Garlic naan: super fresh and delicious Rice: great to support the saucy goodness! Gulab jamun: VERY GOOD. I would eat these again. Perfect sweetness and subtle rose flavor, NOT too strong which is my preference! (ORDER THESE! & eat one for me too :) ) Chai - this was very good. Traditional. They said they could make with or without masala. 10/10 for food. Ambiance: very bright colors inside, nicely spaced out tables and ample room for several families. Not much on the walls or decor, could use some sprucing up a bit IMO but it didn't take away from the experience. 8/10 on ambiance Customer service: family owned, so family works at the business. Very kind and accommodating. Professionalism lacked a bit, and they forgot some things we asked for a few times (there were only 2 tables occupied at the time we were there, including ours) but overall 8/10 for service. Again they were very very kind and accommodating. Food came out in a great amount of time and very fresh! Hope you give them a try and enjoy! read more
