    Dal Kachori Garlic naan Mango lassi Butter chicken
    Alyssa A.

    The most kind and helpful staff. The staff had great recommendations and even taught me how to eat the pani puri. They went out of their way to offer great service. Very clean and pretty establishment. Food was great and delicious. Definitely will be returning!

    I haven't had much Northern Indian food before, and the stuff I had here was delicious! The owner was really friendly and helpful when it came to recommendations, and she even gave us a complimentary special puri dish! It was filled with yogurt, pomegranate, and chutney, and it made a really balanced and refreshing bite. The yogurt itself that came with some other dishes, like the veggie paratha and deluxe thali, was absolutely fresh too. I also loved the daal and aloo subzi puri (WHICH WERE HUGE). The puri that came with it were spiced and texturally really interesting. Man, the prices are pretty great too, but maybe that's just the Bay Area resident in me who's used to things being at LEAST $18. Counting down the days until I come back, especially for their carbs. Drooling.

    Yummy food! Snacks and meals if you order the thali, it's a cute place with great service and good ambiance! Will def be back

    If you're craving authentic North Indian flavors, Bikanervala is a spot that delivers on taste and quality. I tried the Paneer Butter Masala, and it was absolutely delicious -- rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. The Basmati rice was fluffy and fragrant, pairing beautifully with the paneer. The Garlic Naan was soft, well-buttered, and had just the right amount of garlic kick. To start, I had a Samosa, and it arrived piping hot -- crispy on the outside and flavorful on the inside. The dipping sauces (especially the tamarind and mint chutneys) were spot on and really elevated the appetizer. Overall, Bikanervala nailed the classic North Indian experience. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian cuisine or just getting started, this place is worth a visit! The place is pretty clean and new too! I liked it. They also sell pastries / desserts as well. The workers were nice and super sweet too. They did check on me to see how the food was. I'd recommend them!

    Paneer and butter naan
    Amisha S.

    Honestly this place was not good at all. My piayz kachori was gross, it looked like they just put it in the microwave. I ordered another raj kachori because that's what I wanted but she gave me piyaz and didn't even refund my money back ... Raj kachori the outer shell was fried in bad oil, and full of sweet yogurt u couldn't taste any of the fillings. Paneer was sweet, Naan was k. All flavorless and sweet. Their number system they need to work on. They gave my food to another order so I had to wait another 20 minutes for my food. I had to tell him I have been waiting forever. I really just wanted my money back but it's an Indian restaurant so what can I expect, no refunds. Horrible place I would never come back.

    Paneer pakora (4 pieces total, we ate 3)
    Kaleend D.

    Amazing food and taste. Staff is friendly too it is self service and you have to place order at counter. There are water filters for fresh water. The paneer pakora had some stuffing in it which made it taste nice and fresh. The pyaaz kachori was delicious. The deluxe thali was the highlight. The laccha paratha, the daal makhani, shahi paneer, the sweet all absolutely spot on. Loved it.

    A friend of mine recommended trying establishment since they open recently. The owner happened to be present and was extremely helpful and friendly. I ended up taking a pound of the Bengali sweets, which were delicious and reminded me of my childhood days growing up in India. Also tried their Pav bhaji which was also delicious. I would highly recommend Trying them out

    The deluxe thali
    Ajitha M.

    India is always close to my heart so indian food is soul food. Ask me to rate the food and my nostalgic bias kicks in . I am harder on indian restuarants then others but bikanerwala passed my test. Ambience 5star Food 5plus stars Service 5 star Must try the onion kachori.. Loved ever bit of it... only downside was the disposable plates and silverware

    Falooda
    Poonam M.

    Was excited to try this place as my dads family is from Bikaner. Really was looking forward to ordering a Raj Cahori but they ran out the day before, we order papdi chaat instead but it was just average and very small portions. Chole batura the larger size at $14 came with 2 batura and tiny bowl of chole , chole were on the spicier side, but decent taste , but dont order the double batura when there is barely enough chole for 1. Dhokla was ok , a little dense, but not overly sweet. Ordered falooda ice cream , was a complete disappointment as it texture was very grainy , there was no tukmaria or rose syrup in it either. I probably would not go back. Rasmali was good. Saag and makki roti , i was told roti was on dry side

    Chhole Bhature
    Dharmendra S.

    Have been thinking to try this for couple of months but was pushed back after looking at yelp ratings. Finally tried yesterday. First bite of chhole was straight from streets of Delhi, best chhole I had in US. Bhature needs some improvement as it became papad few minutes after serving. This is not same as usual Bhature I had in Bikanervala in India. Deluxe thali and Aloo paratha were amazing. Exact same taste that we had many many times in India. At the end, couldn't resist taking home those yummy sweets.

    The owner aunty is very sweet and polite. We tried the chole bhature here and those were really nice. Then the paneer tikkas were also very nicely made. The best part was the packing. The chole and paneer tikkas were so well. Very professionally done. Sealed off the box and achaar bro I didn't have to worry about anything spilling in my car lol. Amazing overall.

    Deluxe thaali beautifully packed   .

    Hello! Do you have any options that have no onion / no garlic? Also, is everything all vegetarian? Sounds to good to be true!

    Hi, yes we are completely vegetarian. Our items with no onion/garlic are the chole, dal kachori, matar kulcha, and all the cold chaats with no green chutney.

    My GF and I came here around 4pm on a Saturday and were lucky to beat the rush. Before paying for…read morethe buffet, we were able to walk around and check out the food, and everything looked fresh. Nothing seemed dried out or like it had been sitting too long. The customer service was great from the start. The woman helping us was kind, helpful, and walked us through the options. Since it wasn't busy, we were able to sit wherever we wanted. The restaurant was also very clean and well-kept. The buffet was $25 per person and included all-you-can-eat food plus drinks like mango lassi, canned sodas, and water. They also had Indian beer available for an add't $5. Everything we tried was delicious. The Chicken 555, their house special, was amazing with the perfect mix of chili and spices. The garlic naan was fluffy and fresh, and both the butter chicken and tikka masala were excellent + their other options. The owner, was also very welcoming and attentive. He checked in often to see if we needed anything, and when the garlic naan ran out, he let us know a fresh batch was coming. Once it was ready, he brought it straight to our table. I'd highly recommend this place. The food was fresh, the quality was great, the restaurant was clean, and the service made the experience even better. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back with friends.

    When I called to place a takeout order, the gentleman asked me to come in and order in person,…read moresaying, "The girl will pack it up right away." That clue should've warned me to go elsewhere. When I arrived, there was only one family dining in the restaurant, and the gentleman who took my order was very polite. One thing that stood out was that I wasn't asked what spice level I wanted. As he packed my order, he mentioned that he included extra samosas because they were small, and he also said something about the curry being better than the vindaloo. I didn't hear him clearly, thanked him, and headed home. After unpacking the food, I realized he had simply substituted our vindaloo with chicken curry without asking me to make the change. We ordered vindaloo because that is what we wanted. If the restaurant was out of it, the appropriate thing to do would have been to ask whether we wanted to choose something else or cancel that item. Deciding for the customer and swapping in a completely different dish is simply not acceptable. The experience also made me wonder whether some of the food had simply been scooped from what was left on the buffet rather than prepared fresh. The curry and samosas tasted as though they had been sitting for a long time. The garlic naan was excellent, although we ordered two and only received one. The chicken curry was so salty that each of us took only a spoonful before throwing the rest away. The samosas were dry and lacked flavor. The tikka masala was decent, but it was not enough to salvage the meal. We ultimately had to find something else for dinner. I'm not sure what changed. We ate here a few years ago and really enjoyed the food, which is why we came back. This visit was nothing like our previous experience, and it was disappointing because we remember the restaurant being much better. I hope this was just an off day and that they'll return to the quality we experienced before.

Every single bite was filled with flavor....It was so much food in one serving I had enough for lunch and dinner next day!

Chicken Curry was a little salty. The Chicken Tikka Masala is our go to item whenever we dine at an Indian restaurant, however, this one didn't taste as good as I am used to eating. It tasted a bit off. Garlic Naan was good. Rice tasted a little off. Mango Lassi was good. And so was the Gulab Jamun. Overall, it was just an OK experience. Although the place is somewhat nice, the foods didn't really hit the spot for us.

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!

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 curry is also well-spiced and flavorful. (IMPORTANT INFO: Bring cash. There's an additional 4% fee for card payments. Also, this location accepts EBT.) I arrived at Curry Time (Pomona) on Monday (around 4:25PM). Parking is easy. The lot is fairly empty. Staff is very friendly, curious, and welcoming. Staff repeatedly attempted conversation. Staff even appeared surprised that I'd chosen to dine-in. The food arrived very quickly since the curry sat on hot trays. As mentioned, I ordered the "2 Item Combo" ($15.99) and "Garlic Naan upgrade" (additional $1). The naan tasted buttery and hot; the garlic flavor was fairly muted, so I don't think the upgrade was worth it. Thankfully, the rice tasted very fresh and clean. For the "2 Item Combo," I chose Butter Chicken Curry and Goat Curry (additional $1.50 charge). The Butter Chicken is DELICIOUS!! Its chicken is tender & juicy, and its curry is thick, creamy, and well-seasoned. I happily embraced its light spicy kick. Concerning the Goat Curry, the sauce is heavier and savory. Unfortunately, the Goat Curry's protein tasted bitter, chewy, and almost rubbery; there's also many bones. Still, both curries felt well-intentioned and thoughtful. I left full and happy, Regarding ambiance, Curry Time (Pomona) felt a little run down and dingy. The corners didn't look well swept. Thankfully, the tables are smooth and clean. This location does not have a restroom, but there's a small hand sanitizer bottle for customers. Also, the location plays no music, but the flat screen TV plays youtube videos. Unfortunately, the main sound is an intrusive humming coming from the machine sitting by the entrance. The location is fairly cramped with its five tables. However, this place feels more like an order-and-leave spot. Overall, I created good memories at Curry Time (Pomona). The food is tasty and affordable! I also genuinely enjoyed the Butter Chicken. If searching for delicious Indian food, this is an easy recommendation. 4.7 out of 5
