    All the curry and spicy goodness we could handle in one night!!
    Gareth N.

    Vibrant colors, spice laden fragrance, deep and rich flavors.... If this is what you want in Indian food, this is the place. Beyond Biryani is apparently 2 partners from India - one north and one south - so it's a marriage of regional flavors under one roof. My son wanted to treat me to dinner early for Fathers Day. I have been longing to try this restaurant since it had been recommended by a client of mine from India. He promised this was "the place" in the IE for authenticity. So I opted to go here - eager for the opportunity. A party of five of us arrived We were greeted by the tantalizing masala fragrances and an older kind faced gentleman who is likely one of the proprietors. We were promptly seated and began salivating over the selections. The menu is prolific - check their website for a preview. I had my mind set on 4 dishes right away after arriving and reading through the offerings. I asked advice from the server, a young lady that was quite welcoming. We assured her we could handle the heat of some of the warmer dishes (I LOVE spice!!) Multiple spicy curries, a tangy rich & creamy tikka masala, a fiery chicken biryani dish, and some lightly charred garlic naan appeared after appropriate time. Dig in!! Oooooooh my - picture Mark Wiens saying "ooooooohhhh" (iykyk). So very satisfying! Heat that had the tears on the edge of the eyelids, but was so enjoyable! Succulent curry gravies, tender chicken and lamb, and scooping it as fast as swallowing and savoring allow. Loved every bite! My one regret? The photo you see is the ONLY one we got (the server was super sweet and took it along with some good natured jesting with us). Long story short? Best Indian food experience I have had. Can't wait to return! Epic!!! Thank you!!

    Probably one of the most delicious rice dish I've had! And I grew up on Mandis and Biryanis. Absolutely delicious! The lamb shank falls off the bone and so tender and flavorful! Very nice people too!

    Chicken 65 biryani
    Samantha C.

    We returned for the second time in two weeks to try other dishes! This time we had the chicken 65 biryani and lamb rogan gosh, both mild spice (for me), and garlic naan. Food is fresh and worth the wait as the flavors are amazing! Just the right amount of heat to cause sniffles but not blow your head off. Service was excellent as well; our waitress returned frequently to refill our water and bus plates. We'll be returning to try other dishes! Note: Loma Linda and VA employees get 5% discount with ID, which helps to offset the 4% surcharge of using a credit card.

    Daal Tadka (lentils)
    Clem B.

    Ordered: Daal Tadka (lentils), aloo gobi(cauliflower), kurkuri bhindi (okra), whole wheat roti. I'd been meaning to try this restaurant sooner and I'm glad I finally did. Beautiful restaurant, great service and tasty food. I got the daal tadka medium spicy and it was warming inside and delicious, I think I am going to try it hotter next time since I love spicy food. The aloo gobi had really delicious flavor and I loved the texture contrast between the cauliflower and potato. They had told me kurkuri bhindi was just fried okra with spices, but it was much tastier than I was expecting, all of the okra was deliciously crispy and the spices were nice. We came for a friend's birthday and they added a complimentary dessert which was some sort of fried cheese with a sweet syrup and everyone loved it. They let me know they have lunch buffets so I will be back!

    Baingan bharta (eggplant mash w/ veggies)
    Michelle V.

    This new spot took over the old taco place. Big storefront with the left side big enough for banquet style events and right side for casual dine in. Was advised it would take about 20 minutes and they were right. It took about 25 minutes in total. I walked the interior while waiting. The restrooms are located on the banquet side of the restaurant. There are a few stone benches out front if you prefer outside seating. All in all, their menu is vast and beyond biryani (has both meat & vegetarian options) which is a nice differentiator to many other Indian restaurants in the area. I hope with practice they're able to be more consistent on the salt level and better portioning. I ordered three dishes to-go, one appetizer and two mains. The Gobi Manchurian appetizer for $13 came in the smallest container. I counted 5 pieces of cauliflower (battered and fried Gobi) with large pieces of white onion and green bell peppers. While the crunch of the Gobi was excellent, this dish was too small of a serving than I am used to for the price and VERY SALTY. For the two mains I ordered the Masala dosa (which comes with a savory sipping soup called sambar). This one is better eaten in person. My mistake on taking this home because it was soggy by the time I opened it up. Good flavor, but just not as enjoyable as fresh off the pan. The sambar was tasty. A little on the spicy side (as it should be) and not overly salted (thankfully). Typically my favorite dish, the baingan bharta was the worst dish. Not only was the eggplant mash not flavorful with a Smokey aroma, it seems their take on this dish is straight up 90% chopped onions and green peas. The excessive onions made the dish overly sweet. I may have to jazz this one up a bit because the flavor was just not there (needed more spices AND SALT). The extra garlic naan I ordered was standard garlic naan.

    The food was good. Many seats available if you're planning to go with family or friends. The service was friendly and there was no wait time. We went on the weekend for lunch right when the lunch buffet opened. I am vegetarian and my favorites were the naan bread, pun, mutton briyani, and vegetarian korma (little spicy). I wish they served garlic naan during the lunch buffet. I've had better Indian lunch buffets in the area. This place is worth a visit though.

    Easy access parking, in a large parking log with large spaces. This Indian restaurant is new and replace a prior Mexican restaurant. The menu has many authentic Indian dishes not seen from other restaurants in the area. Particularly the Mutton dishes are amazing. They are cooked at the right tenderness and the meat flavor is going to keep you coming back. The sause, spice and season keeps thing fresh and you don't get the bloated and dry mouth feeling after the food. Which means they must not use MSG or other additives. Overall great new Indian restaurant that provides a fresh take and high qaulity food. Will be back again.

Otherwise, it was good. Not the best I've had but definitely worthy of a repeat order. Garlic Naan: 5/10 - It was paper thin, but had a lot of garlic and cilantro, which I appreciated. Just the bread was so thin that it was too crispy, not soft. I would NOT order this again. Papadum: 6/10 - Requested to add chaat masala powder and they obliged. The papadum was good, flavor-wise, but portions were inedible because they weren't fully cooked and still had hard portions, kind of like stale tortilla chips. I would order again, but only in-person, and check my order before leaving. Will I be back? Probably not, there are better Indian restaurants nearby.

One person in the group recommended Naan Cafe for the first event, and they didn't disappoint! I almost felt bad rolling in with 15 people on a Sunday at noon in a rainstorm during what seemed like a slow time. Not bad to bring in business, just bad to bring it in all at once. There was plenty seating to host our big group with minimal table shuffling. It seemed liked there was even another big group meeting there as well shortly after ours. They really handled the rush like champs and got us our food super quick. Most of it is ready to serve like fast food Chinese restaurants. I haven't tried much Indian food before, but I really liked this setup so I can see what I'm ordering and ask questions about I'm picking. I think this would be the go-to model of introducing Indian food to someone that hasn't had it before, or is reluctant to try it. I ordered a two item combo which comes with two entree items, rice, and garlic naan bread. For my two items I tried the chicken tikka masala (which I hear is the gateway entree for most trying Indian food) and the lamb curry. I've had chicken tikka masala a couple times and it's always pretty good. This one was no different, except maybe that the chicken was a little better that usual! What really stood out was the lamb curry. It was really flavorful and savory and had plenty sauce to mix with the rice. As usual, I also have the benefit of trying my wifes food. She got a two item with the palak paneer (a common spinach and cheese dish) and the chicken curry. I'm never a huge fan of palak paneer and this was no different. It was okay, but I wouldn't order it just because of preference. The chicken curry I would probably order next time instead of the tikka masala. It might have been my favorite thing I tried - but I'll have to come back and order it for myself next time!

They already have a bunch of dishes prepared, and you can choose one, two, or three entrées. The prices are really affordable, and the three-entrée option comes with naan and a drink.

The portion sizes are amazing, a two-entree plates will easily feed 2 people. They also have other dishes you can order individually that aren't already prepared, but those are a little more expensive. I didn't try any of those this time, but I'll definitely be back to try something different. Overall, really good food for the price and a great spot for a quick Indian meal!

My wife and I came here because of the great reviews, and the food absolutely lived up to the hype.

On a Sunday lunch, there were only two parties ahead of us, and our first dishes still took about 25 minutes to arrive. The samosa plate, garlic nann, chicken tikka masala, and lentil soup were all excellent. Easily some of the better Indian/Pakistani food I've had in the area. The problem was our shrimp karahi. While we were eating everything else, it still hadn't arrived. I asked our server about it and was told it was "almost ready." We continued eating, finished our entire meal, and still no shrimp karahi. It finally arrived after we were completely done eating. Not only was there no apology, but nobody even acknowledged the delay. I was ready to tell them to take it back, but my wife convinced me to keep it since the food was good and we could have it for lunch the next day. Food: 5 stars Service: 2 stars
