    Garlic naan MAR2026
    Franklin M.

    My other half was craving spicy hot Indian food so we are back for dinner. We both were very hungry and we ordered two veggie dishes, steamed rice, and two orders of garlic naan. We love spicy hot food so we asked for level 7 with 10 being the highest. The food didn't take long to come out and it was delicious as always. As a matter of fact we could've just ordered one veggie dish with the sides and that would have been enough to fill us up.

    Visited this restaurant for the first time with my boyfriend and the food was amazing! Notes on everything we ordered: Potato Croquettes: potato and cilantro filling with a golden crispy coating. Comes with honey mustard dipping sauce and was savory and delicious! Very filling and comes with 6 pieces. Thus, it was pretty heavy for both my boyfriend and me to finish. I'd definitely recommend ordering it if you have a larger party! 10/10 Butter Chicken: strong tomato flavors and creamy. Generous amounts of chicken, and we ordered it mild-medium and it had the perfect kick. I wish it came with rice and we didn't have to order it separately! Nevertheless, cooked perfectly! 10/10 Garlic Naan: very garlicky! You can see the garlic pieces that were brushed on the top of the naan. It was a lot thinner than the other naan I have tried before though. Each order comes with 4 pieces. 8/10! They also serve complimentary chips after you order! The only thing that can be improved would be the wait time for the food. We had to wait about 20 minutes for all the main entrees to come even though we were the only table in the restaurant. However, I completely understand as they seemed to have a lot of takeout orders coming in. Other than that, service as great! The workers are friendly and patient. They checked in on our table regularly. Intimate setting and subdued lighting inside. Street parking is available around the area as well as a free garage parking structure around the block. Would definitely come back for take out next time!

    Have always walked by this place but finally tried it. It's actually really good Indian food! It's not too buttery or oily , and not filled with spices/ spiciness. Their garlic naan was also very soft and a great addition to the meal.

    Garlic Naan that we selected as part of our lunch AYCE option.

    We were craving Indian food and somewhere affordable so we came here for lunch AYCE (AYCE is Tuesday through Sunday, 11am to 3pm for $17.95/person). We arrived around 2pm on a weekday and the restaurant had a lot of seating with about 4-6 patrons and some to go orders. Haven't been here in awhile but they still have a self-serve hot buffet station with different curries, chutney's, meats and vegetables, salads, rice/pasta. At your table they'll ask if you want any complimentary naan; we went with garlic naan. The food was decent although some food items were just warm instead of hot, they were still very palatable and enjoyable to me. I loved the chicken tikka masala, the pasta, and the garbanzo bean/chickpea salad. You can very eat healthy here if you want! I tried several other curries including a bean curry, an egg curry, and they were all pretty good. They had this red chicken that was a little tough but adding some mint chutney or white yogurt sauce to it made it decent. Water tasted like filtered water. Excellent service, staff was inviting and friendly. Restaurant was clean and organized. They have small and larger tables for parties 1 to 8 or more. Free parking in rear parking lot; make sure to check parking signs. Additional free parking in parking garages on nearby streets. Overall, for the price and excellent service, can't complain. Still a great lunch AYCE option.

    Service was friendly. Food was ok. I got takeout though so just keep that in mind. Chicken vindaloo was the best one out of the few dishes we got. Any of the other curries, including butter chicken, felt way too heavy on the cream. We decided to branch out and got once of the pineapple chicken dishes. Lots of flavor but the chicken was super dry. Also note that it does not come with rice so you'll have to order that a la carte.

    Plate number one.

    Sometimes you want Indian food and when you find yourself in Alhambra for some grocery shopping, you hit up Mahan Indian Restaurant for the first time and drown yourself in food. This is an "all you can eat" style restaurant so when we came in and we sat right down. As soon as we sat down we ordered some naan, they gave us some waters, and we were at the buffet. Now, even though I'm a big fan of Indian food, I don't actually know what I'm eating most of the time. I took a plate right away and filled it with pretty much every chicken dish I could, some rice, and some other random things that looked good. Now, when we started eating the issue was pretty obvious, the food was luke warm and that was a small bit concerning. Don't get me wrong, I continued to gobble down food like a pig at a troughs and soon the staff showed up and started changing what was under the buffet because they were all off, hence the luke warm food. I ended up eating two plates before calling it a day and hitting the road. Overall, I left with a pretty 50/50 experience. I didn't dislike the taste of the food by any means, but it certainly would of been much better had it been hot and fresh. Will I be back? hard to say, but I would definitely be willing to give this place a second chance.

    Tandoori Chicken, Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry, white rice and limes for garnish.

    Mahan Indian restaurant in Alhambra, CA is an absolute gem! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and incredible aromas that set the tone for an unforgettable meal. The buffet offers an impressive variety of dishes, all bursting with authentic flavor. Everything is fresh, perfectly seasoned, and clearly made with care. The curries are rich and comforting, the naan is soft and delicious, and the variety ensures there's something for everyone--whether you love bold spices or prefer milder options. Vegetarians will especially appreciate the many flavorful choices. What truly sets this place apart is the quality and consistency. Every dish tastes homemade, and the staff is attentive, friendly, and always happy to help or make recommendations. The restaurant itself is clean, welcoming, and perfect for both casual lunches and family outings. If you're in Alhambra and craving truly satisfying Indian cuisine, Mahan Indian Restaurant is a must-visit. Exceptional food, great value, and top-notch service. ITS FREAKING AWESOME!!! Oh did I mention they offer buffet every single day from 11-3. We will definitely be coming back!

    This is our go to Indian restaurant. We came here for the buffet from 11am-3pm. There was a lot of variety that you can try for only $18. It also included your choice of garlic, naan or regular naan. The garlic naan is good with the different curries. The chili fried fish is one of my favorites. They also have tandoori chicken and tiki masala. The tandoori chicken is moist and flavorful. This is a great chance for you to try different kinds of dishes if you've never had Indian food I'm not afraid of different spices. There were a lot of vegetarian options as well, and the samosas are to die for. They have fresh fruit and rice pudding for dessert. The waiters are friendly and would constantly refill our water. You can also bring large groups to this restaurant. When we come here for dinner, we would order the cauliflower Manchurian for appetizer. I would also get the fish vindaloo with medium spice and basket of naan. The basket of naan had different types like garlic, regular and naan stuffed with cheese. This place is more traditional than the Indian restaurant down the street for a better price.

    Wen D.

    Seasoning is absolutely booming at this spot. We ordered the Chicken 65, and it was a standout. the sauce had a unique sweet and sour balance that really elevated the dish. The chicken had a crisp, crust with tender, juicy meat inside, making every bite super satisfying. If you like to try a bit of everything, the plates are a great option. The service is friendly, and the ambiance has a nice, classic vibe.

    Delicious chaotic buffet mix - tandoori & chana & goat!
    Elvin G.

    Delicious hot & perfectly seasoned Indian lunch buffet. Very friendly service & super chill vibe in the heart of downtown Alhambra. I can rely on them to have the best curry goat, tandoori chicken, chana, and daal for days. And their fresh garlic naan comes out quick during the lunchtime rush. This is an ideal location for working stiffs looking to get their Indian fix before going back to "work." Good luck there... will likely need a nap after this wonderful feast! A+

    Buffet of happiness
    Ana F.

    I love coming to Mahan, the restaurant is very calming, the employees are attentive and nice. I have been coming here for years and this is the first time I'm writing a review. I love all their food. There's nothing here I haven't eaten that I don't like. If you're not use to spices I definitely recommend you trying the buffet to try a bit of everything to see what you can actually handle and what you can love! They have a variety of proteins, veggies and a very delicious rice pudding. I love their mango lassi drink. It's a bit sweet for me but it has a delicious taste so I recommend asking for extra ice as it turns it a bit more crisp and less dense. Overall stop by! If you see the buffet lights on, the buffet is open!

The naan was perfect for scooping up all the sauce, and the pilaf rice that comes with the dishes soaked everything up nicely. The chicken vindaloo had great flavor with a solid spicy kick. The saag was a bit on the bland side, but still enjoyable and had a nice chunk of cheese in it. Service was great. The staff checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The ambiance was quiet and made it easy to actually have a conversation, which I appreciated. Parking is free but shared with other spots, so it can get tight on busy nights or during lunch rush.

They immediately brought me menus. I ordered the Maderas Margarita and Tikka Shrimp Salad with an upgrade for the garlic naan off of their lunch special menu. They had really fun names for their cocktails. The Maderas Margarita was interesting. The taste of the jalapeno was bold, the way it should be for a spicy margarita. There was mashed mint and cilantro in it. The drink tasted more like a mojito than a margarita. Nonetheless, it was well presented with a jalapeno on the rim of the glass for decoration and the drink was very much enjoyable. The Tikka Shrimp Lunch Salad was full of flavor. There was grilled mushrooms, diced cucumbers, diced tomatoes, and mozzarella cubes in it. The grilled shrimp was deliciously grilled. The house dressing seem to be done your of Indian spices vinaigrette which was very interesting. I would say that the spice level on this was mild to medium. I enjoyed this dish. The garlic naan bread was served fresh. It was the perfect thickness where you can experience both the crispiness and the soft bread at the same time. The garlic flavor wasn't overpowering. It was nicely done. I would definitely return to try other items and perhaps their happy hour menu.

    Been on my list for a while, finally made the detour to try it out. Eating by myself so didn't get…read moreto try as many dishes as I would have liked. The naan was quite plain, great for mopping up sauce but underwhelming by itself. Wish I had tried the Goshnaan. The special noodles were really tasty. Wish there was a little more meat but the overall serving was generous so can't complain. Good sauce at the end to soak the naan. Not spicy but full of flavor and spices. And finally the special tea. I was blown away. $10 for tea for one is a lot but I am so glad I tried it. The aroma is intoxicating and it tastes just as good. I bought a little tub to take home as I saw someone else recommend. Overal great spot, will be back again with more people to try the polo and goshnaan which other tables had and I was jealous of.

    Maybe I had high expectations of this place but being one of high rated restaurants i was super…read moreexcited to try this place. Having lived in Alhambra, I have gone to the previous place in the same place. They had great noodles ans wonton. Boy do I miss that place. Circling back here, we ordered mapo tofu, chicken kababs,, a uyghur naan, and a pulled noodle dish. The spice levels here is nice and the portions are okay. I didn't think the map tofu was a must get. It tastes different than your traditional Chinese version and yet it has heat like the szechuan peppercorns. It came lukewarm like the rest of the dishes. The only server in the restaurant never came back to check on us the whole hour we were there. So we never had refills on water. The best things here were the naan and the hand pulled noodles. Perhaps I would just get those togo if I ever wanted this place again.

    OMG, speaking about a hidden gem. This restaurant is located in a little strip mall, set back away…read morefrom the street. If you're not specifically looking for this place, you can easily pass this place by. If it wasn't for seeing a tic tok video on this place, I would still be driving by this place. So in describing this place, I would say it's like a small Panda Express, but for Indian food. Don't expect to see a steam table offering of orange chicken & egg rolls, but all of the most popular Indian cuisine, butter chicken, tiki masala, goat curry, numerous vegetarian dishes. There is also a menu to order ala carte, tandoori chicken, samosa, bryiaani rice dishes, and as well pain & garlic naan. The restaurant itself was small, with about 6 to 7 small tables, classic mom & pop restaurant. The Lady handling the front was super nice, friendly & helpful. The food itself was surprisingly amazing. We tried 3 different types of chicken curry, all tasty & moderately spicy, the tandoori chicken had great flavors, a little bit on the salty side, but paired nicely with the baasmalti rice. The tandoori chicken is cooked to order, so there is about a 15 to 20 minute wait, recommending to call and order ahead of time. We'll definitely be coming back for our Indian food cravings!

    While the exterior looked inviting, the experience of having gone to…read more Eat here was then less exciting. I'd hoped to have exceptional conversations with my servers about the Indian cuisine I enjoy, and to see what they offer as specials- moreover, what they like or what other guests seem to make popular ... you know, "specials?" or Server suggestions? There was sadly no such interaction. The servers simply "just passed the time" while I ate very basic, unenthusiastic Indian fare, at one end of the restaurant-- while sat directly facing me chatting boringly with oneanother at the opposite end of the restaraunt facing me (so not FENG SHUI!) they sat at the other end in the heat (they really need to improve the AC UNIT at this location! It was much too hot in there). The staff was incredibly unenthusiastic, and the "experience" of eating here was definitely less than hoped for. Both the experience and the food need to be consciously "spiced up."

Patrons should take a walk in this cute shopable area after your meal. I prefer being seated indoors since train does come every few minutes. Food has always been delicious. Indian food is made with such love and tasty. I have had them catered a few times. Always on par service here. My fav are the naan and curry. Butter chicken and cauliflower I have to order every time. There is free parking in the building. Love to support small business too.
