A little bit of everything
Donna P.

This is a great place to stop in for lunch. Good food and an amazing lunch buffet! We come back again and again for lunch. I love the veggie options and can't get enough of the Lamb Curry. Everything is always fresh at the buffet. I haven't ever ordered straight off of the menu because the buffet is so enticing. The samosas are large. I can never finish one. If you decide to stop in don't forget to take a cup of the chai tea on the buffet. It's made from scratch and oh so tasty. They'll make you fresh naan with your buffet lunch.

Hooray to another great Indian buffet in North County! A nice casual restaurant in the Nordahl shopping complex right off of the 78 freeway. What makes it 5 stars? - spacious restaurant with plenty of seats inside - ample free parking in the large shared lot - excellent service from the young male who was friendly, enthusiastic, and professional - nice variety of lunch buffet options including naan, rice, salad, various vegetable and meat curries, tandoori chicken, fruit, and yogurts/chutney - food was fresh, tasty, and filling - reasonable prices for buffet ($16.99 for lunch and $18.99 for dinner) - open late (until midnight!) - love they have different size plates including a tray with separate compartments Definitely will be back for more!

I love this place! It's probably my favorite Indian restaurant. I had the shrimp tikka masala and it was so delicious! I got an 8 on the heat scale (1-10) so it was spicy but not inedible, it actually enhanced the flavors because I love spicy food! I also ordered the garlic naan which paired really well with my curry. You get 4 fresh pieces. I ate so much but I still had leftovers to take home. Great portion sizes! In addition, I had the sweet lassi and this was pretty good too! The customer service was excellent! Sidhu and the other worker did an excellent job with the timing, efficiency, and friendly customer service! The prices were good too! It was definitely enough for two people. The restaurant is casual but nice. You can take friends and family here and they'll be able to accommodate you. FYI: On the weekends they also have a buffet. I will be sure to come back here for the delicious food, value, and customer service!

Great India buffet! I very good variety of yummy food! There's always something different when I eat here. I like how they have mango lassi and chai for an option to drink. They have tiny cups for you to try it. Which is understandable. Service is pretty friendly. I definitely get super full with just the first plate. My favorite that day was the chicken curry, the veggie, tandoori chicken, lamp curry, naan, and chips. Pretty spacious restaurant. Great for groups, couples, or by one's self.

The last time I came to Curry Craft was probably within a couple years of the pandemic, but I remember it was a great location. Coming back again, and I can still stand by the fact they are one of my go to spots for Indian curry. Staff is friendly and helpful, restaurant is clean and spacious. Another perk, they are one of the few locations for late night food runs, open as late as midnight!! One of the biggest differences since coming here is they have a buffet option that was pretty reasonable buffet for lunch and dinner between $17-20/person with available add ons for beverage and naan choices. I was so excited to get my food I forgot to take a picture.... I ordered the butter chicken and garlic naan to go. The bowl of butter chicken was securely wrapped in Saran Wrap to keep everything safe, but be warned, the bowl is extremely hot!! Portions are great for the price and very filling. The food was well balanced and thankfully not too spicy for the mild spice level.

Samosa (2pcs)

My husband and I were staying at a local resort and looking for food late night, and we ended up finding this place. WHAT A GEM!! The fish and chicken tikka masala were so flavorful and they are generous with portion sizes. Also highly recommend the samosas and garlic naan! They offer a free glass of wine or mango lassi after 9 pm, which was such a nice touch. Gurjab was our server and he was such a vibe, super friendly and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend if you're in the area.

Solid Indian buffet price for lunch and dinner. When we came in I thought the service was a 2/5 because the heater was on during dinner time and it was so stuffy and the waiter seemed inattentive. She didn't really tell us where to sit or if we needed high chairs for our two girls. Within around 5 minutes though, the AC was on. The waiter checked on us and the buffet was solid. My husband said it was a 5/5. I give it a 4/5 for the menu selection and lack of direction or any dietary warnings (milk or any other ingredients used). Love that it comes with chai tea and the garlic naan was a 5/5. For the price, it's really good especially in the North County area.

Moong daal halwa

Really amazing food and great service! We enjoyed Crispy Samosa and ginger tea, spicy tadka daal, laccha paratha, Alu Gobi, moong daal halwa, kesar rasmalai and Paan!! All this while listening to our favorite requested songs playing! What a treat!!

The vegan options here are out of this world. Absolutely delicious, fast, and healthy. I walked in there for take out 30 minutes before close and they still accommodated me. I really appreciate their service and awesome food Will be coming back to try their buffet next

The buffet line
Jim B.

Wow! I've been to a lot of Indian food buffets in my life, and I do believe this is my favorite! I had the Monday lunch buffet for a very reasonable $18 plus tax and tip. The place is very clean. The staff are polite and efficient. The buffet line is beautifully laid out and kept clean and stocked. They have both metal and porcelain plates, but unfortunately use styrofoam for their chai and paper bowls for the kheer. The salad is the best I've had, not the usual iceberg lettuce and a few cucumbers, but green lettuce and a variety of extras. They put a pitcher of water on your table so you don't run out. The food was all done perfectly. They bring out fresh garlic naan made to order. There was the usual Bollywood playing with commercials on the TV.

We ordered a standard fish taco, as well as octopus, marlin, and smoked tuna tacos, along with a sampler of the aguachile. We ordered the verde, mango, and tres chiles. Pros: - Friendly service; our waitress gave us some great recommendations as we were overwhelmed by the huge menu. - The tacos were fantastic. The tortillas were lightly griddled and not too thick. The octopus and fish tacos were very well-seasoned and flavorful. The marlin taco was a standout--it was lightly spicy, smoky, and well balanced with minced carrots and celery. - Decent portions, especially the aguachile. Each sampler dish had ~4-6 shrimps. My favorites were the verde (spicy salsa verde) and tres chiles (tasted like a limey, spicy chipotle salsa) Cons: - I was not a fan of the mango aguachile and would not order it again. I thought it would be a standard aguachile sauce with some fresh mango chunks, but it turned out to be shrimp marinated in this overly sweet, gloopy mango sauce that tasted like a melted mango popsicle. If you are sensitive to spice, I would make sure to check in with your waiter before ordering anything. I thought I had a medium spice tolerance but found myself huffing and puffing like a chud after eating the aguachile, lol. All in all, would visit again if I was in the neighborhood!

First off, I just want to say that The Boiling Crab is awesome!…read more The atmosphere is amazing, and the customer service is excellent. The workers check on you at the perfect times, help you understand the menu, and even break down your order and pricing so you know exactly what you're getting. The prices are great and surprisingly affordable. I ended up leaving a $30 tip because I couldn't thank them enough. If you're on a budget, they'll even pull out a Sharpie and write different options and prices right on your table to help you stay within your budget. What other place has service like that? McDonald's? No way. Chick-fil-A? Not even close. The Boiling Crab is an incredible experience, and I would definitely come back again and again. Whether you're trying a seafood boil for the first time or coming back for another visit, this is the place to go. They have all the seafood and sides you could want, and everything tastes amazing. Would you rather spend hundreds of dollars on random stuff from Facebook Marketplace, or about $20 per person for a delicious seafood boil the whole family can enjoy? The food is filling, flavorful, and worth every penny. This place is also perfect for birthday parties. They don't take reservations, but they do have wait times, and you can always call ahead if you're planning something special. I'm actually planning to have my 50th birthday party here with a group of 20 people, and they told me they can accommodate us, which is amazing. I'll be sure to update everyone on how the party goes! Also, my husband is the one who drove me here, and I'm so thankful for him. He's currently fighting stage 4 cancer, and seeing him smile and enjoy a great meal meant the world to me. For a little while, he seemed happier and felt better, and that's something I'll never forget. So, ladies and gentlemen, if you're craving a seafood boil and you're anywhere in the San Diego area--whether you're a few minutes away or even a few hours away--you know where to go: The Boiling Crab. It's a fantastic place for families, friends, and anyone looking for a fun and delicious meal. - Beckett

This location has plenty of parking,…read morealthough it does get packed because there's a grocery store, gas station, gym and other small businesses in the plaza. We were seated pretty promptly, and someone came over to bring us water fairly quickly. I noticed they don't change their menu very often, as it seems to be mostly the same as the last few times I've gone, and I don't go often. It might be nice for them to add some new items or mix it up a bit. I ordered the shrimp and grits, and a wedge salad. We were splitting the wedge salad so it was nice that the server separated it for us on two different plates. I love a good much salad, and this really hit the spot, and I enjoyed it. I don't think it had any onions which I do sometimes like, but it didn't really matter much to me in this instance. Unfortunately, I wish I could say I liked the shrimp and grits as much as the wedge salad, but it was not good at all. It comes out on a rectangular shaped plate, and the portion is extremely small. That might have been something I could overlook if the dish itself had been good. However, the Grits were not creamy at all and were overly firm and just had a bland flavor. It didn't seem to have much of a sauce in them, and I just couldn't eat it. The sausage they you didn't taste very good to me, and was chopped up in little bits. The shrimp I will say was pretty good, but they were only four or five of them. I ate the shrimp left the grits and tried to fill up on the bread they wrote to the table instead. I really wish I would have gotten something different, as I felt this was a waste of money. I'm not sure there's really much of a reason to go back considering the dinner menu doesn't have anything new, and my dish was disappointing. If I did decide to go back I would definitely have to order something different. I'm giving three stars as my husband really liked the bacon wrapped shrimp he had, and we both enjoyed the salad and bread.

California Fish Grill is a solid choice when it comes to affordability and high quality. Was invited to a Yelp event previously and hadn't been back. Julie and I were in the neighborhood and were struggling to find a quality quick meal. We happened across a coupon for a free taco at California Fish Grill. Sadly the coupon had expired. The team quickly found a way to offer us something substantial instead. A current offer allows guests to download their app and receive a free Everything Protein Bowl. Such a great deal! Order at the counter or via the kiosk, have a seat and your order is brought out to you. Extremely easy and delicious. Along with the Everything Protein Bowl, Julie ordered the Grilled Salmon Salad. The bowl had a variety of seafood including Cajun shrimp, salmon, swai and grilled chicken served on a bed of white rice, beans, diced tomatoes and a chili mix. Great flavor and variety. The salmon was cooked perfectly and served with a lime vinaigrette. Seating is easy and the team clears dishes after you're done. They offer some "healthy sodas" along with some creative juices. Will definitely be back! Keep on Yelp'n!

We were the only people in the restaurant and we made it there in time for the lunch special, which was a bonus. I was super hungry, I ordered a mango lassi and chicken MoMo for appetizer. When they brought out the mango lassi they also surprise me with a nice little bowl of a yellow daal soup. I scarfed them both down within minutes, which I kind of regret, because by the time of the rest of the food came out, I was almost full. The lunch specials came out before the MoMo but no big deal. The lunch special is really a great value. They give you a ton of food. You get two of the lunch items with rice and naan. I ate a little bit of it, but ended up taking most of it to work for lunch the next day. I had the vegetable korma and paneer tikka masala. I didn't get any spicey because I wasn't sure how hot they were gonna make it and the vegetable korma really could've used a little bit of spice, but it was still delicious. The paneer tikka masala was outstanding, had so much flavor in it. The MoMo was also fantastic and we did eat all of those because I didn't think they were going to hold up well if we took them home. I love how they made them with almost like a little cup at the top that you could put some of the sauce in. Don't be like me though, and give them a few minutes to cool down, the broth inside the dumplings is super hot.
