It's not often that I visit autehtic Indian cuisine…read more I grew up Texas and the Bay area most of my life and honestly only visited buffet type establishments in the past. Recently moving to Elk Grove, I was was surprised to see so many different restaurants and multiple food choices. That said, our group last night decided to try Indian food. Wow! And I mean a big smiled tummy rumbling WOW!!! Indian oven is the beast Indian food I have ever tasted! As you know, in my previous reviews, I have also taken into consideration, the ambiance, the restaurant cleanliness (Including the restrooms) and also the staffs demeanor when submitting reviews. I must admit, I am not surprised that this restaurant easily deserves five stars - on all points! If it wasn't for our server "Rinku", our group would never have realized the meticulous efforts made by ownership and staff in presenting so many varied and wonderful tasting dishes we were not previously aware of. In that, I mean, that when you go to a new restaurant, you look at the menu and you take somewhat of a chance in experiencing dishes that sound good, but having no previous experience/s there, may not receive the best tasting meal on the menu. Rinku not only explained the dishes and ingredients, he also gave a little bit of history and process involved into preparing such wonderful tasting meals - throughout. He took the time to answer our questions with as much detail, history, that was necessary for us to understand how much goes into making exceptional Indian cuisine. He highlighted the nuances involved in the preperation processes, the cooking methods, and the reasoning behind obtaining/ producing such differing textures, depths, and tones of flavors. And pointedly, I noticed that everything was very fresh, possibly and most likely made with heartfelt love for India Ovens' patrons. Once again if it wasn't for Rinkus' recommendations, we would not have known what to choose, pertaining to our personal likes, and to be honest, spiciness and heat tolerances of each individual in our group. From this point forward, I will not have any predetermined expectations of what food quality and/or flavors should/could taste like. Amongst our group, we ordered approximately eight different menu items, each with very specific and distinct flavors, and as mentioned before, wonderful textures. I (Rarely and highly) recommend family, friends, colleagues, and the general public to come here, not once, twice, but often, to experience the full menu - all in its time. I recommend that you come and experience wonderful savory Indian cuisine like no other. Thank you Rinku!

This is my go to for Indian food in Elk Grove. When I go, I have my usual dishes and they are…read morealways good. The only reason why I don't rate it 5 stars, is because when I usually order, I order to go, and they seem like they really don't care too much, when it comes to the customer service part of it. Could be because they may think I'm a delivery driver, who knows? The food itself is always good. I usually have a seafood dish, along with some samosas and some type of naan. I just get my good food and go about my business. In the end, my tastebuds thank me for it.

This place had really good reviews, so I decided to give it a try and I'm glad I did. First thing I noticed walking in was how clean and organized everything was. It's not a huge place, but it feels welcoming and comfortable, like a small family-run business where they actually care about customers. The guy who helped me said his name was Shan (hope I got that right), and he had an Om tattoo on his hand. He was super friendly, patient, and welcoming from the start, which made the whole experience feel relaxed. Service was quick and my food came out hot and fresh always a big plus when you're on the road and hungry. I ordered pani puri and Amritsari kulcha. The pani puri had great flavor tangy, refreshing, and really satisfying. The kulcha was honestly the highlight: soft, well stuffed, cooked perfectly, and tasted fresh and authentic. You could tell it wasn't rushed or reheated. Before leaving I also grabbed some sweets to go and tried a milkcake . Everything was really good, but the milk cake especially stood out rich, soft, and perfectly sweet without being too heavy. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. The price was super reasonable as the portion size was very large. Overall, really solid experience good food, great service, clean place, and a nice vibe. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is just because I personally save that last star for places that completely blow me away but this one comes very close. I'd definitely stop again if I'm passing through Elk Grove.

From the moment we walked in, the difference was immediate. We were welcomed warmly, treated with respect, and genuinely made to feel like valued guests. The space itself was beautiful--elegant tables with tablecloths, glass tabletops, and a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt thoughtful and intentional. They even turned the TV on for us and created a space where we could truly relax. And the food? Absolutely incredible. The meat was tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection--every bite was delicious. You could taste the care in every dish. They also took time to talk with us about the menu, introduced us to desserts we hadn't tried before, and even shared music that made the whole experience feel like a cultural exchange. Earlier that evening, we had walked into a different restaurant excited to eat, only to be told they had "closed early" despite posted hours saying otherwise. The interaction left us feeling unwelcome and hurt. Unfortunately, it's a feeling we recognized--and one no one should have to experience when simply trying to enjoy a meal. That's why Tandoori Grill & Kitchen stood out even more. Not only was the service kind and genuine, but the restaurant itself was far more beautiful and inviting than the one we were turned away from--and honestly, thank goodness for that. What started as a painful experience turned into something truly special. There's a lesson in this: go where you're celebrated. Thank you, Tandoori Grill & Kitchen, for your generosity, the extra treats, and for reminding us what true hospitality looks like. You turned our night around. We'll absolutely be back.

Review for Kabab N Chutney - Best Indian & Pakistani Food in Sacramento If you're craving authentic Indian and Pakistani cuisine in Sacramento, Kabab N Chutney is an absolute must-visit! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with the aroma of sizzling spices and fresh grilled meats that instantly make your mouth water. Their kebabs are perfectly seasoned and cooked to perfection--juicy, flavorful, and served with the most delicious chutneys that add the perfect tangy and spicy kick. The butter chicken is rich and creamy, with just the right balance of spices, and the biryani is aromatic, loaded with tender meat, and bursting with authentic flavors. The garlic naan is soft, warm, and pairs beautifully with every dish. What truly sets this place apart is their commitment to quality and authenticity. Every bite tastes homemade, yet elevated to restaurant perfection. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the service is warm and welcoming. Whether you're a fan of street-style chaat, smoky tandoori dishes, or rich curries, Kabab N Chutney delivers on all fronts. Hands down, the best Indian and Pakistani food in Sacramento! Highly recommend! read more

Where to begin from?!? :)))))) What a lovely restaurant. Very very clean and peaceful environmental. All the employees are very welcoming and seated us immediately wit menu's. Foods: I enjoyed eating Chicken- Tikka Masala, I certainly believe this is the best in Sacramento so far. Chicken Kabab's were so juicy and tasty ate along with their green mint chutney and sweet tamarind chutney. Fish Masala was also very good. Tandoori chicken- bbq was so good as well. I notice their price was very low compare to other places, which we were grateful for. Dessert: For dessert we had Kajar ka halwa which was OFF the hook along with chai. Overall it was a delight to eat at sucha great restaurant. Truly Recommend to all the Muslims who are looking for Halal restaurant made with best quality. 1000000% HALAL. I will come back with more people inshAllah soon! I am looking forward to having a small event there, I think its perfect for engagements/parties and get together s. Just hope they have some Tv's soon, it just gets a little boring waiting ( as usual in desi restaurant) but on the side music kept us entertained. read more

Went there because the other Halal Pakistani/Indian restaurant we like (shalimar) is too far of a drive. First time we went there, it was quiet no one inside odd for a sunday afternoon in the middle of sacramento but whatever. The smell was awful like it hasnt been cleaned in forever. Our table was sticky. We ordered our food and we had prompt service but food tasted kinda old. Figured lets give them another try, went during their buffet even tho I didnt want to order the buffet they made it seem like i had no choice. Why would i pay $10 for a buffet when all the items were gone? In any case, we were overcharged i noticed afterwards when i looked at the receipt compared to the menu. Just not a good experience and the food isnt worth it when u can eat better quality food at other places. read more

Wish I read the FILTERED REVIEWS before coming here. I can't believe how it's a hit for many and for others is a complete MISS! The chicken curry dish I ordered was very oily. Lack of organization. You pay as you order, even if you're sitting there to eat. The naan was good. The kabob was not seasoned properly, no salt. Biryani had a lot of spices, which was nice, but without salt it doesn't enhance the dish. I wonder if the cooks/chef taste their dishes prior to serving it. I hope it's better in the future. read more

Once again if it wasn't for Rinkus' recommendations, we would not have known what to choose, pertaining to our personal likes, and to be honest, spiciness and heat tolerances of each individual in our group. From this point forward, I will not have any predetermined expectations of what food quality and/or flavors should/could taste like. Amongst our group, we ordered approximately eight different menu items, each with very specific and distinct flavors, and as mentioned before, wonderful textures. I (Rarely and highly) recommend family, friends, colleagues, and the general public to come here, not once, twice, but often, to experience the full menu - all in its time. I recommend that you come and experience wonderful savory Indian cuisine like no other. Thank you Rinku!

This is my go to for Indian food in Elk Grove. When I go, I have my usual dishes and they are…read morealways good. The only reason why I don't rate it 5 stars, is because when I usually order, I order to go, and they seem like they really don't care too much, when it comes to the customer service part of it. Could be because they may think I'm a delivery driver, who knows? The food itself is always good. I usually have a seafood dish, along with some samosas and some type of naan. I just get my good food and go about my business. In the end, my tastebuds thank me for it.
