Where do I even start chileeeee because this was the BEST experience ever! We did make a reservation on Yelp, and I will say the wait was maybe 10-15 minutes after we checked in. It might've just been today since it was a Saturday, but they definitely had a rush around 2-3 PM. After 3, it seemed to slow down a lot. Once we were seated, we were given water. I did ask to be moved once the rush slowed down, and they accommodated us with no problem, which honestly made me really happy. We ordered a bunch of food because we wanted to try everything. We started with the tikka wings, and I got the saucy ones. They also have a smoky option. When I say the FLAVOR was there LORDDDDD! The wings were AMAZING and the sauce was exactly what I wanted. The samosas were honestly the BEST I've ever had, and I've had a host of them. The filling was perfect, they were crispy, and both sauces were amazing. I honestly can't even pick a favorite. Next was the goat biryani. OMG! The goat was tender as ever, the rice had so much flavor, and the portions were HUGE. The butter chicken was definitely different from what I'm used to, but it paired really well with the garlic naan and cheese naan. The drinks were also rich in flavor. The pineapple lemonade tasted so fresh, almost like it was cold-pressed, and the mango lassi was really good and full of flavor. We will MOST definitely be back. Between the service, food, portions, and overall experience, I truly enjoyed my time here.
This is the best Indian food and there's always a wait. I've been at lunch and dinner time on both weekday and weekend, and I've had to wait at least 10 minutes for a table. The restaurant isn't that big with a bunch of small and a few big tables. There's either street parking or a free parking garage near by. I've tried various items from their menu and when you add spice to the food, it can get pretty spicy compared to other places. I love their palek panner, lamb curry, and garlic naan. The service is good, but I will say the food comes out slow, so be prepared to be in there for awhile. Highly recommend this place.
Right off the bat received amazing service right away which really made a huge difference and set this place apart from others. I came in for the lunch special which is 14 dollars a plate and it really is a lot of food. At first I thought I would finish it all but I never did. I also ordered the mango lassi since I know it's popular and it is very yummy just wish it was colder but maybe it's not meant to be that cold? One thing to note is to bring a light sweater for warmth because there is fans all throughout the place which kept it nice and cool inside which is amazing but I was getting very cold. I will come back here whenever I get the craving for some tikka masala. All of the sides on my plate were very new to me but they were all very good. There was nothing that I didn't like.
Tasty dishes & the staff are so friendly! This was my first time coming here and I ordered food to-go and they made an exception and took my order even though it was about 30 minutes to closing time. (That's my bad, I know). They totally didn't have to take my order, I even asked the owner multiple times if it was okay and I even said it's no worries and that I'll come back another time if it's too late to place an order. They very graciously took my order anyways, even helped me make some food decisions, and I was very grateful because I was so hungry and didn't want to get fast food. Since it was my first time I ordered my Indian cuisine staples. I ordered their Chicken Tikka Masala (medium spicy) which turned out to be the perfect spice level. I ordered Palak Paneer (non-spicy), Vegetable Biriyani (also non-spicy) because I want the chicken tikka to be my main spicy dish. I was surprised to see so many naan choices! They suggested I order their tomato basil naan (that's a new option, haven't seen that before at an Indian restaurant). I also ordered garlic naan. So glad I ordered both, because 3 main entrees need at least 2 orders of naan. The owner is so nice! We talked about Indian food and she answered my questions and got to know her a little. You can tell she cares so much about her customers and staff. I ate my food at home and was really impressed by the flavors and that they actually did give me medium spicy level on the chicken tikka (some places just give you the basic mild). I liked that the vegetable biryani had carrot, broccoli, and chopped green beans in it. I'd love to come back and enjoy a meal at their restaurant. It's more modern chic interior and I was told that there is a lunch buffet option. Maybe I'll be back for lunch! Their menu had a lot of Indian dishes that I've never tried, so I definitely want to come back for those!
Was craving tikka masala and daddy ji's DID NOT disappoint! Very delicious and fresh!! Tikka masala was delicious (and toddler approved) we tried the samosa dosa, however I think next time we will just try the regular veggie samosa. Samosa dosa was good, but wasn't our favorite. The tandoori wings were delicious and piping hot, didn't catch what kind of dipping sauce they served with it but it was very good. The garlic naan -- soooo fresh, hot and tasty. Have to mention the guava soda, which was perfectly sweet. Service was great, food came out fast and the restaurant has nice decor/wall art. It's a smaller place with maybe 12(give or take) tables. We came on a Wednesday around 7 and didn't have to wait, however there was a constant flow of people wanting to dine in and tables were filling easily. Can't wait to come back.
Explored the modern Indian cuisine in Claremont. Service staff is very friendly and kind, elaborating on different items on the menu with us. Food tastes GREAT but the wait was terribly long. We ordered the lamb shank and it was recommended to go with white rice. Naan was done with precision and profession! Ambiance quite cozy, European, and exotic. I saw many tables of friends and family gathering. Good for a hang out with groups and share all delicious Indian foods. Oh and I forgot to mention, the price is economic for good quality food. +1
Delicious food, friendly staff, comfy seating, and beautiful interior. What more can a gal on a lunch break ask for? My coworkers introduced me to Daddy Ji's and I believe this will be a regular lunch spot. We all ordered their Lunch Special, which is from Monday to Fridays 11 to 3 pm. The Lunch Special Punjabi Thali (Plate) comes with 1 dal, 2 veggie sides, rice, and naan or roti. You can choose from garlic, plain naan, or roti, then you choose the type of plate you like. I got their Butten Chicken Plate and golly, it was delicious! The Lunch Special is served in a beautiful gold plate with multiple small bowls to hold the dishes. My butter chicken was velvety rich in tomato flavor and the chicken was tender and beautifully married wth the buttery gravy. I'd come back just to have another bite of their Butter Chicken! I also wanted to try one of their drinks, so I ordered a Iced Saffron Chai with Boba (No Milk). I've never had this drink before, and I am so glad I did because it is absolutely delicious. It's refreshing, bright, and has an almost delicate and sweet-spicy aroma to it. While eating our lunch specials, we sat in their comfy blue velvet seats and enjoyed the ambiance. The staff members came to check on us multiple times, and were very quick to refill our waters, and are very friendly and sweet people. We all left with happy smiles and full bellies. I can't wait to come back with more friends!
The food was AMAZING. I highly recommend this place!! The servers were so nice and welcoming and the plates came out fairly quick. It is a small location, but I think it's perfect. It gives it a homey feeling. It is definitely a hidden gem in Claremont. I would highly recommend putting your name through Yelp or do a reservation as there's always a wait for this place (even on weekdays). Also, try family style as there is a huge variety!! I hope you enjoy this place as much as we did.
I've eaten here a few times. Except for the fried rice, I've enjoyed most of their dishes. Their Indian Chinese dishes are probably not for me. The restaurant is often busy and sometimes has a wait as the dining room is not very large. When they first opened, I had a concerning incident where a server boxed my food with his bare hands after clearing tables. They offered to remake my food but still sent me home with the same item. I could tell they didn't remake it. I ended up throwing it away. Hopefully they've worked on improving their practices.
OMG. First Indian Restaurant with the best customer service!! Hands down. Friendly , clean and pleasant atmosphere!! Lunch specials are amazing that did NOT put a dent in my wallet. Must try the Mango yogurt drink! Creamy cold and goes down smooth! Nice walk after down old town Claremont!
First time here and was impressed. Small intimate space offers a nice vibe with solid food and service. Disappointed no wine or beer offerings but survived. Will come here again.
We had to wait a bit before being seated, but it was worth it. Very clean place with a really great staff. I almost never order pop because I shouldn't have it, but their Guava Soda sounded too enticing to pass up. It was like a better, cleaner tasting version of the guava jarritos and I couldn't stop drinking it! Super yummy! Foodwise, we got the following: - Mysore Masala Dosa - this was good, but it was really thin. The filling is tasty and it would've been nice if there was more of it so we could taste it more. The little bit of lentil soup that came with it was tasty too. - Garlic Naan - garlicy and seasoned nicely. It had a nice crisp to it as well. - Lamb Biryani - I love biryani and this was definitely the most colorful one I've ever had. It had a really nice amount of seasoning and flavor to every bite. The one downside is there really wasn't a lot of lamb pieces in the dish itself. My guy and I had to dig to find it, which is a shame because they were good quality pieces. Overall, super good and would come back. Was a bit disappointed by the lack of stuffing in the dosa and lack of lamb pieces in the biryani. Flavorwise, I can see why this is on the top 100 list.
Good Indian eats at Claremont Village? I'm down! On a Sunday evening, Daddy Ji was busy but they were able to seat me, a single diner, within 10 minutes. Smallish, modern decor, every seat packed. My order was taken quickly and multiple servers checked in on me throughout the meal, excellent service. Chicken Tikka Masala - Served in a pot with tender chunks of white meat, the dish was fragrant and spicy, but not hot spicy. Spicy as in full of various spices. I ordered a 7 on their heat meter and felt zero hot spiciness. If you want to feel some burn, go for a 10. Even without the heat, I still enjoyed the dish. Their version leans a little more creamy over tomato flavor. Garlic Naan - A good sized serving, their bread is lightly toasty but pillowy, thicker than the average that I have had at various restaurants. It's buttery with with the right amount of chopped garlic mixed in. If you want some naan, get this. Basmati Rice - I ordered the large portion, which was $1 more than the small and comes on a metal plate. If you get the small order, it comes in a bowl. The large portion is almost double the amount of the small and is good for one very hungry person or two moderately hungry people. I had a little bit leftover at the end, but still felt that ordering the large was the right call for me. It was a very enjoyable dining experience. I think three or four different servers asked if I needed anything. My order was taken quickly and the food arrived in a timely manner. Their dining floor seems ideal for parties of 1-8 people. If I'm back in the area I would definitely come back!

We were excited to finally try Daddy Ji Finest Indian Cuisine after seeing it featured on Yelp's Top 100 U.S. Restaurants for 2025 -- expectations were definitely high going in. The restaurant sits in a nice, clean part of Claremont with mostly street parking available, though there's also a parking garage just a few streets away if you don't mind a short walk. Inside, the space felt welcoming, tidy, and comfortable for a casual lunch or dinner. Our kind waitress helped guide our order and recommended the Tikka Masala and Coconut Curry, which we happily went with. Service was friendly and attentive, and our food came out surprisingly fast -- always appreciated when dining with kids or on a tight schedule. Both dishes were flavorful and enjoyable. The sauces were rich and comforting, and portions were solid. That said, while everything was good, it didn't quite reach best-Indian-food-I've-ever-had status for me personally. Still, it's a reliable option in the area and an easy stop when we're nearby. Since it's conveniently close to my kids' pediatrician, I can definitely see myself coming back and exploring more of the menu on a future visit. Good food, friendly service, clean atmosphere -- and worth trying at least once, especially given the national recognition. read more
Cute Indian restaurant in Claremont. We went for lunch so tried one of their lunch items and got 2 appetizers. I love chaat so we had to try the papri chaat, pretty typical chaat so can't complain. My husband tried the chicken 65 and actually liked that it was saucier than other places even though the extra sauce makes it a little less crispy than the usual. He thought the extra sauce was worth the hit on crispiness. We got the paneer tikka naan roll which was huge! Easily feeds two people. We definitely had leftovers. Will be back! read more
Nice place , great vibe and crowd. We came here for lunch, place was crowded but we got seated right away. All servers are very nice , their smile made my day! We ordered lunch special plates. I was happy to see that they had Palak paneer and daal makhani as side dishes ... yumm Butter chicken plate: This plate comes with chicken curry, 2 veg curries , daal, rice and choice of roti. Food was hot and fresh. Butter chicken has very nice Smokey flavour which we love. It was mild with sweet and tangy notes. Mutton curry plate: same as above. We ordered it spicy. The level was still medium for us. Chicken curry plate: chicken curry was tangy and had good presentation. I would have preferred more spice. Overall food is good and this place is very well maintained. read more
Great service. Gabby was very personable. Food is a 3.5. Samosa is good and tasty. Vindaloo feels like it's missing some thing. The eggplant is better. Pat gave us a free dessert in exchange for a review. It was a bit strange to have the staff standing there waiting is to finish the review. read more

Been coming here for about 2 years now with my best friend and we love it! Even when we are just walking around the Claremont Village we can smell the Daddyji aroma in the air and makes us want to go inside. Although they do tend to get busy my friend and I are always seated and served in a timely manner. They have a very big menu which we love because we get to try something new everytime. We really love the pani puri and vegetable samosas. The workers are also very helpful and always help with recommendations or understanding what a dish is. The dishes are not only beautiful looking but taste delicious and always full of flavor. Everything we've eaten here has been delicious!! read more

Absolutely amazing,, definitely exceeded our expectations. The food, the vibes, the entire staff; wow, definitely an experience. Bea our server, was so attentive and knowledgeable of the menu. All of her recommendations were ordered and were to die for. Thank you Bea for being amazing, can't wait to come back. read more
This really is the finest Indian cuisine and I am so happy they are here! Every thing we had was never had before and it was superb! I now know why there's always a line and best to make reservations. I appreciated the tanginess in the dosa, the complexity of the chaat, the wholesomeness of the paneer curry dish which I can't remember the name, the tenderness of the lamb shank and the uniqueness of the naan. I was hoping the lamb would be a bit more explosive in flavor like the other dishes but it was still fantastic. Overall, I absolutely loved my dining experience here, it was so much food that I am ready to eat my leftovers. The wait staff was even nice enough to let us know that it was a lot of food for two. Definitely a highlight of my birthday meals. read more
Our family loves Daddy Ji. Their decor, presentation, and food are all top notch and very aesthetic. We love their lunch specials! You get a good variety of yummy food to choose from and on your plate. The wraps look delish, the apps, the Asian inspired sound amazing too! As creatures of habits though we usually get the coconut curry, butter chicken, tandoori chicken, and tikka masala lunch platters. So much food! Of course we can't visit Daddy Jis without a mango lassi or peach lassi! The service here is very good as well. Everyone is polite, nice, and very helpful. read more

What a delight to visit this divine Indian restaurant. We checked in via Yelp and had to wait a bit to get a table upon arriving. It was well worth it. The interior decor is very nice. We tried several items, and I was equally impressed with each one. The veggie samosas are served with a mint yogurt sauce and a sweet sauce. Delish! We had the potato dosa, which came with a coconut sauce, a carrot sauce, and a small bowl of lentil-veggie soup. I think this was my favorite item. I really enjoyed the pani puri, which you assemble yourself with potatoes, garbanzo beans, and another delightful sauce. We ordered the chicken tikka masala which is made with dark chicken meat. It was flavorful, though I wish we had upgraded the spice level. We ended the meal with Ras Malai, which was served cold and is soft paneer, very light, spongy cheese dumplings soaked in sugar and condensed milk. This was divine, and I wished I had ordered another. Now I have to go back!! I forgot to mention that the service here was outstanding. Multiple people came by our table to deliver food, answer questions, and refill our water glasses. It had a team-oriented environment that I really appreciated. read more

We just had lunch at Daddy Ji and it was incredible! We walked in and were seated immediately in really comfy chairs. The friendly server came over right away with water and took our order. I had the coconut chicken curry lunch special and my husband had the chicken tikka masala special. My coconut chicken was sweet and a little creamy. I only had three pieces of chicken which I was a bit surprised by but it was delicious. My husband's tikka masala was spicy and earthy. He had quite a bit more chicken than I received. All the sides were flavorful and the naan was hot and tasty (although a bit thick). We will definitely go back to try out some more items on the menu. If you are in the area, stop by Daddy Ji's! read more

Great authentic Indian food. Reminds me of home. I absolutely loved their Falooda and garlic cheese naan. The price is great and i liked all the foods i tried there. The biryani is a must try there. The service was great but their foods take a bit long to come out. I understand, it's very busy. The place has parking in the back and restaurant is fairly big. read more

Ordered delivery and got the vegetable korma, chili naan and basmati rice. Firstly, they don't skimp with to-go portions which is awesome. My Korma was filled to the brim, the rice was enough for 2 people and the naan they give you 4 decent size pieces. Rice: plain, but perfect. Naan: Thick, well seasoned and has a subtle green chile flavor. Veg Korma: Veggies are fresh, not out of a bag, authentic flavors, pretty sure it's broccoli, zucchini, carrot and cauliflower. The gravy is super creamy, but fairly mild in flavors. Also I wanted medium spicy but got ultra-mild. No worries, nothing some rooster sauce can't fix. Overall I'd give Daddy Ji a 7.5/10. read more
My friend said that she has been wanting to try this place out after seeing it on Yelp and so we made a reservation and made our way over! For parking situation, park in the parking structure by where all the shopping is at closest to 21 choices. It's not too far of a walk to Daddy Ji and your car will be covered with shade. All the employees were really nice and they checked on our tables a couple of times. Super attentive. We got the tandoori chicken, malai kofta, chicken biryani, and roti. Tandoori: Although this was the main attraction because they bring it out on a hot plate, the flavor was okay. Chicken was tender, but it was missing something. Chicken inside was kind of bland. Malai Kofta: this was actually really good. Slightly sweet, creamy, and the potato balls were really yummy. We ordered a side of roti to pair with this. The roti was not that good and dry. We should've ordered naan. Chicken Biryani: nice pack of heat in the rice, chicken was tender and flavorful, and portions were big. Overall, I would rate this place a 4/5. It's a decent place to get Indian food. For the area, it is a great place to go to, but OC has a lot of good Indian restaurants as well. read more
