I love this place. If you ask me this is the best Indian food in Covina. It's a small little market restaurant found in a large plaza. There is definitely no issues finding parking. Food is fresh and the taste hits all the notes. My favorite has to be the butter chicken, chicken curry, their fresh Naan and the vegetable coconut curry. This is my go to when it comes to buying my spices, lentils and curry paste. My daughter also buys her hair oils here. Balu the owner is such a sweetheart. Always so helpful and willing to explain. I can't say enough about this little gem. read more

India Fresh is a grocery store that also offers plates of curries with rice and garlic naan. If you're there to eat just walk towards the back counter to see what's available to order. The staff was very welcoming to me since I came in during lunch time and explained the combo plate options and costs. I ended up ordering the 2 item plate with Chicken Tikka Masala & chick pea curry with my choice of the garlic naan. Staff mentioned she was going to make a fresh batch so I waited inside the store. The food was ready in a few minutes and the aromas of the curries and garlic naan were radiating. It smelled so delicious. I ate my lunch there and it was very satisfying. The tasted very good and I cleaned that plate easily! The fresh garlic naan was simply the best to dip with the curries. I loved the crispy exterior and soft interior of the dough. Overall, I'd return again to have another lunch in the future. Thanks, India Fresh for the hospitality. ( ^_^)b read more

I came here DoorDashing one night, and it was a bit of a wait for fresh food. I was immediately acknowledged and asked if I wanted anything to drink while I waited. They even gave me Jalebi to try, something I never had before and I loved it. Their staff is very attentive and friendly. Came back today as a customer to make a purchase and support the business. It's rare that dashers are treated like a customer and treated with basic human decency. The staff here goes above and beyond in that regard. Thank you! read more

honestly hole in a wall. This place is authentic home made Indian food. The lamb curry was my favorite! I recommend this to everyone if you love lamb. If you don't try the chicken curry. It was my first time trying pani puri and it did not disappoint. I love the sauce it's so fresh and tangy. If I could drink the whole sauce I would. The service was amazing the people there are soo so sweet. I'd definitely come back. read more

Parking is in a plaza that is spacious. Went to a lunch pick up and it took a while for our order to be prepared. The service was nice, they offered a small sample tray. I didn't personally like my entrees. Both were kind of bland. The butter chicken was pretty tart. I enjoyed the chickpeas but wish there was more flavor. My rice tastes watery. I believe my naan was made fresh but it became hard so fast. Aside from the hot bar, it is a small market. read more

I was in the area to do my taxes last minute and the wait was really long so I looked up local food and this place popped up. I got the butter chicken, chicken curry garlic Naan and rice combo. I wish I had gotten some to take home I literally licked up all the sauce it was so good. And I was able to ask them make it spicy for me. The garlic naan was the best with literal chunk of garlic. I really wish I had gotten more for home since I live far. I will be stopping back to try more things read more

Delicious food with the sweetest owners. We asked so many questions about what things are and they were so nice and let us sample some items. Found a couple new favorite dishes. 10/10 recommend this place. read more

~ MARKET + FOOD STALL ~ The market has lots of Indian spices and groceries you'll need. They have a variety of frozen foods like naan and samosas. The service is nice! Their mango lassi is only $4 and so yummy! There's no seating more like a TO-GO fast food restaurant. read more

I am so glad we tried this place! We ordered a combo of half tiki masala and butter chicken. We also ordered the pani puri and the owner Balu was so kind to show us how to eat it. The garlic naan was so good we added an extra order to go. Everything was delicious. They have seating inside which is nice if you don't want to wait to eat your food it's a little crowded since the space is small but that wasn't a problem at all. Can't wait to go back. read more

I ordered the chicken tikka masala, chicken curry, and garlic naan bread; the full to-go order cost $15. I appreciate the location. It's good food with good portions. I enjoy the spice and garlic flavors. It's a good food experience. The wait took about seven minutes. They needed time to finish their garlic naan bread. The staff is helpful and encouraging. However, the posted menu is confusing and discouraging. There's a large menu on the wall and a different smaller menu on the side. And one menu attempts to separate butter chicken and chicken tikka masala, but the staff uses the words synonymously. The location is also a little cramped. It's a hidden store that sells merchandise and some food dishes. Overall, the food had a satisfying spice and garlic flavor. read more

Food,flavor and side market are convenient as well. Can't go wrong with garlic Naan and butter chicken.

Not gonna lie, the interior is not very clean and it looks disorganized. But I found my food to be really tasty. I'd say you get a decent amount of food for a decent price. I liked the chicken curry the most. Definitely would recommend if you're looking for something affordable and tasty. read more

We ordered cater and the owner Balu was so accommodating He got the trays ready way earlier than his regular hours. Everyone loved the samosas we got. Anyone a fan of Cadbury chocolate made in UK? They have it read more

I love it here they're the nicest family owned business and they were so kind and welcoming it genuinely made my day after I had a bad day. Please come here and support them. Everything they have is so good read more

An Indian market and small restaurant with a few tables. I had the chicken tikka masala, with rice, and I was satisfied.

The best Butter Chicken combo plate in Southern California comes from India Fresh. While you wait for your food you can buy an array of Indian goods and sweets, an 8-pack of frozen samosas, rices, spices, and everything niceness. Doubles as a buffet and market. Run by a very accommodating and talented couple. Can't wait to be back. read more

If you need to find any Indian spices or groceries, this is the place! The man that was there was super nice and friendly. They have so much variety of items, we were there for one thing but took a while just to look around and check out all the other items they had. read more

Can't believe this cute little Indian food store is so close by. Such a random spot but super grateful for it. I came in after finding this on yelp because I am having a get together and wanted to get some Basmati rice to make with my butter chicken. Anywho, I bought the Basmati rice and also picked up some spices, tea , candles , some traditional Indian sweets. The nice shop owner Baloo helped me on which ones to pick. He asked if I liked Indian food (which I do) and invited me to come back and try their butter chicken and palek paneer that they make right there in the shop! I'm so excited to try it, it was too late that night they stop serving at around 8pm. I'll edit my review to include the food but so far the ambiance is friendly and the service is excellent! Will come back again. read more

Stopped by yesterday for the first time and very delighted to say I have found a new spot I enjoy! The hospitality was genuine and the food was delicious. I got the pani puri, samosa, and the combo plate and everything was very affordable. read more

Best indian curry in all of covina! I had the combo and tried the chicken curry and butter chicken curry! It came with 2 curries nan bread and indian rice I loved everything but I loved the butter chicken the most - super flavorful and a lot of chicken! So worth! Next time im getting double Butter chicken read more

Sooooo, the 3 stars is mostly for the filth dirty establishment. The place was so run down and looks like it has never been cleaned. With that being said you have to wonder how the food is being handled and cared for. The food was good and tasty but will not be going back because of how filthy it is. read more

Must! The symphony of flavors will sing hallelujah in your mouth as you enjoy the best Indian food in southern California. The freshness and high quality food will leave you speechless. The bread is hand made from scratch in the moment while you wait. The chutney is bright and bursting with flavor as you dip the crispy somosa realizing no morsal can be spared. The basmati rice served over chicken curry is perfectly delicious with just the perfect blend of authentic spices. The meal is not complete without a hot cup of Chai made fresh on the spot! Our server/the chef Mr. Balu will explain the history of the cuisine with unparalleled customer service and attention to every detail of your meal. The ambiance is that of a rustic old-world hidden gem located in the rear of an India specialty grocery store where chairs and tables are at the ready and a glass display case full of authentic Indian desserts will not disappoint you. ****Warning: this place is a golden find, a true retreat for the experienced cultured global pallet. A must visit!! A fabulous ethic food experience favorite for Aris&Delia read more

India Fresh - Samosa - Indian Near Me - Covina, California

Ordered to go and spent $40. Can't say that I got my money's worth. 2 entree combo- dal and sag paneer. I thought I got soup instead of an entree, it was all sauce. Butter chicken has ok flavor and not much chicken to be found. Samosas were the best deal, but taste was just decent. Raita was fair. Garlic naan was not fluffy and light as it should be. Wish I could give it a better rating since if was good the last time I was here, but it has been a while. read more

This is a Mom and Pop Restaurant plus it's a Market too. Their food is good and the price are good. The only thing is that their air conditioning could be a little cooler because most of the time we just pick up now but the food is outstanding. read more

Conscious, intentionally cooked food. Best food experience we've had in a while. Thank you for the experience. Brooke and Shaun read more

I used to be a regular here pre-COVID, but afterwards I've come so much less. The quality and flavor are still there, but the portions are a lot smaller, what you get is mostly liquid, and the price went up by $3. A one meat one veggie combo was $8.99 per my last review, and now it's $11.99. At this point I'm far better off going to a buffet for better value, the one in Rosemead is $16 for all you can eat. Because the flavor is still so on point and the owner is still such a nice, sweet man I'm only lowering to 4 stars instead of 3, but it's pretty rare I stop by anymore. I wonder if you order off the menu as opposed to from the combos if the quantity and better and it's less watery, I'll have to try that sometime and update again. read more

Got take out of the samosa and bhel puri for dinner earlier! Flavors were pretty okay, not super strong like a lot of other Indian food eateries I've eaten from. The Samosa came with a tamarind and mint chutney that were both good and helped elevate the samosas! While I liked the refreshing flavor of the bhel puri, I'm more used to having it where there's a little more crunch or crisp to the ingredients. It's not a deal breaker to me since it still tasted good. Would like to buy again and order the pani puri or dahi puri! read more

Great little Indian food place. Loss of groceries and good hot food in the back. The staff is super pleasant

This place is powered by the people. I love chopping it up with the owner and he's always open to answer any (repeat) questions regarding the menu. I'm not going to tell you what to order. Come in. Point. Ask questions. Then come back and do it again. And tell em large marge sent ya. read more

I've heard so many great things about this restaurant so I was excited to try it out for the first time. I was greeted by Billu and his wife who were both kind and genuine people. They run the restaurant so well and make an amazing team. The chicken tikka masala, vegetable korma, and garlic naan all tasted absolutely amazing. They even made my food fresh since it was a little before closing time when I ordered. They went above and beyond just to make my first experience that much more memorable. I'll definitely be returning again to support them and their business. Thank you so much! read more

THIS PLACE WAS AWESOME! I WILL BE BACK FOR MORE! This was my first time ever trying Indian food, and good god was I not disappointed! I was a bit intimidated coming here, mostly because I felt like a fool not knowing 95% of the menu, haha. . But quickly the owner came to our rescue and explained everything so well. He told us they have new food n their little cart everyday! Today (Friday) there was chicken masala, bell pepper and potatoes, curry chicken (it was brown) lentils, and spinach and cheese. Just....yes. We ordered 2 one meat one veg combos(7.99) - we chose chicken masala, bell pepper / potatoes, garlic nan, cheese & spinach, and two samosas (1.99 for 2!) it came with this green cucumber dipping sauce that was TO DIE FOR! Our food took about 10 mins, and we thanked the owner and off we went to eat in the parking lot! Lord have mercy, that chicken was amazing!!!!! The orange sauce it was in was just 10/10 outstanding! I don't know what I expected, but it beyond met my expectations. The Samoa's were crunchy, hot, and really tasty! Inside was potatoes/ peas and it just paired so well with that damn cucumber crack sauce! The bell peeper and potatoes were outstanding as well...just everything was seasoned perfectly and most of all nice and HOT! (So hard to come by right now with the CA/ Covid regulations) Altogether, we paid 23.00 for a good amount of food. The garlic nan was big enough to feed 3 people off of 1 slice lol. . It was piping hot and the smell of garlic makes me so happy! They had just enough! 100% we will be back to try more off their menu. Tikka chicken, butter chicken, lamb curry, and tandoori is on my list. If y'all are looking to expand your palette, this place is totally worth the stop! Great customer service, amazing food, supporting a small business, and possibly stepping out of your comfort zone and trying something new is always a win for me! read more

My family has been coming here since they opened. Baloo & his family are so genuinely kind & their food is consistently great. The 'food special' is a very generous portion (2 vegetables, rice & chapati) & priced just as generously! I will be back over & over again! read more

Haven't been here for a long time, first time back after a couple of years. Surprised the guy remembered me, maybe he's just friendly and says that to everyone, lol. Got the 2 meat combo, since we craved Indian food after dinner. Everything tastes great, except the rice was dry and kind of hard. The naan was overly charred. Need to remind them about that next time. read more

The best butter chicken in the valley, this place is so good and super nice having a high-quality Indian market. 10/10 would recommend.

Love India Fresh! I used to go in for samosas and mango lassis but decided one day to try more of the menu. Tip for the wise, order via phone if you don't want to in person. Customer service is amazing and the owners really help you navigate the menu. Everything was delicious. Had the lamb biriyani, butter chicken, and garlic naan and can't speak highly enough about everything. The market area is so vast and diverse too. read more

Great food for an affordable price. About $15 for a 2 item plate with garlic naan. Really good curry. Authentic and delicious. The person who helped us was really nice. Was very helpful since we told him it was our first time. Will definitely be back! read more

We went in right now for a late dinner. It's very hot out and the owner still cooked for us. We had chicken tiki masala, garlic naan, vegetable samosa and biryani. Everything is so flavorful and fresh. We all ate it standing up out of the container because we were too impatient to plate ourselves. read more

The staff is friendly and the food is fantastic. Don't judge a book by its cover. The menu is limited but items I ate are delicious.
