The food tastes incredibly authentic and has that comforting, home-cooked feel you don't always find. It may be a bit tucked away, but don't let that fool you--this spot is a hidden gem. The staff is warm and welcoming, and it feels like a true family-owned place, which definitely shows in the quality and care put into the food. I'll definitely be coming back.

Wow! I'm amazed at how good the food was…read more We started off with a mango lassi- a delicious mango and yogurt smoothie drink Food: Tika masala- medium spice. This was delightful and the right amount of spice for us. Delicious Tandoori chicken - it's my personal fave. It's got a nice grilled crispy layer on the outside and nice and juicy inside. The garlic naan was thin and crispy. Sooooo good Pakoras- wow. It was so good. I'll def be back and I have these to blame. Service was great. Fell in love with the inside - the walls are painted in pretty flowers. Overall such a great experience.

This is a small Mom and Pop Indian café located in the La Sierra neighborhood of Western Riverside,…read morenear La Sierra University. It has a very beautiful, artistic interior and clean look that makes a wonderful impression. The walls are painted in vibrant colors and designs. Even the bathroom is upgraded and gorgeous. They made a conscious effort to make their establishment very inviting. 5 stars for its upgrades in such a otherwise downy strip mall. We have tried several relatively new Indian restaurants in the past few months. The food, even when requested to be mild, had a bit more sting to it than I had hoped. That makes an impression that leads me to rate this as better than some, but not my favorite. First was an appetizer, a huge portion of Samosa Chaat. I was disappointed that the samosas were not particularly crisp after being smothered in the rich spicy gravy, chickpeas, and tamarind and mint sauces. It is a very pretty appetizer and very filling, but the overall spicy heat made it borderline inedible for me. Our second dish, the Butter Chicken, was very nice. There was plenty of dark meat chicken, tender and juicy, in the traditional, orange, creamy sauce. It was not only delicious with its exotic spice blend, it helped cool down the insides of my mouth while I was struggling with our other two dishes. Our final selection was the Aloo Gobi, basically, potato and cauliflower and a boatload of mixed spices. Sadly, this was too hot-spicy for wimpy me to enjoy. Again, we had requested each dish be prepared as "mild". I'm pretty sure they could have toned it down more than they did. Overall, a solid 4 stars is what I feel is fair. The prices were good, the servings were respectable, we had no complaints about the service, and the decor was very pretty. For those, unlike me, who can better handle the heat, it might have ranked higher.

I went for the buffet and once picked my items and sat down to eat and realized with my first bite that the food was very cold. Horrible food. First disappointment. The female owner had most or all of her friends occupying the seats in the restaurant. It is typical that once you get 3 or more Pakistani women together there will be gossiping and that is all they did. I, as a patron, did not appreciate and did not want to hear this BS. DO THIS AT YOUR HOMES. Second disappointment. The ambiance in this so called restaurant was similar to sitting in someone's backyard. Even in most taco shops they at least once ask you if you need something else. Nothing here. Third class and third world Customer Service. Third Disappointment. Lastly, I will never come here again and encourage you to do the same. This is a shit hole of epic proportions.

Seating area also inside. Super friendly and welcoming people. They were so helpful and had some great food on the menu. Will definitely return!

After reading the reviews, I now see that the ownership has changed. Makes sense for the change in atmosphere and quality. The samosas used to be packed with stuffing and flavorful. Now the samosas I got recently are cold and smaller. The crust also seems to be different? It was almost burnt tasting. The icing on the cake (and the reason for my review) is the metal I found in my rice. I thought it was a spice at first but I'm glad I checked it before I ate it. Looks like part of the metal scrubber used to clean dishes. When I called them to let them know, the lady who answered didn't even try to make it right or offer a refund or replacement. She was nice and apologized but my meal was kind of ruined by the piece of metal so it would've been nice to at least gotten the option to replace it. Not sure if I will be coming back. Sad to see the old owners go. The old lady was always so friendly and welcoming.

Also, I love how they're doing business out of their house, gives it a real authentic feel. However, I just don't think the taste meets my expectation as someone who eats Punjabi food often. I just ordered chicken tikka fries this time, and honestly I thought there was too much going on with the green and brown chutney on top of the chicken tikka masala. Also the fries were soggy, but this is expected just given how much is thrown on top. Overall, you can't really appreciate the flavors when you just have everything on it. Service was quick though and I still think people should try it, but if you're someone who eats Punjabi often and have tried authentic Punjabi food, you may be underwhelmed.
