    Naan Stop is seriously a hidden gem. The food is always fresh, and you can tell they use high-quality chicken--not the frozen or rubbery kind you get at other places. I had the tikka saag, daal, coconut chicken curry, spicy garlic naan, and chai, and every dish was spot on. The flavors are authentic but still easy for anyone to enjoy, and the spicy garlic naan actually has a nice kick if you like spice. The staff is super friendly and welcoming. They chat with regulars and really make you feel at home. Portions are generous, prices are fair, and I was pleasantly surprised to find they even have boba. Definitely my new favorite spot for Indian food.

    This place is pretty good. I just wish there were more options for choices. My indian spot at home had mango chicken & sweet coconut curry. They only had spicy coconut curry, and it's pretty spicy. But still very flavorful. The portion sizes could be better. It's pretty small. I ordered cheese naan for the first time here and it was pretty good. It kinda reminded me of a quesadilla with thicker dough. The service was quick and the women was really nice. The place is pretty clean and well kept. Nice ambiance.

    Curry is watery with overall good flavor, true spicy flavor. (Acid reflux all day) it's affordable, convenient and filling fast food! Large servings and welcoming staff.

    This place was decent, but it's over priced. Not to add the owner has a attitude as she asked me not to pay with card for a small purchase because it charges them a fee, I don't know I just found that weird but her son is amazing and very funny. The first time I came here I had a pleasant experience, but that was because the guy help me out but when the elder lady helped me the next time I came, she definitely was not pleasant. The building only has so little seating but it doesn't get that much customers so you'll always have a spot. The garlic naan was terrible and explains why it's one of the cheapest things you can get, but the butter chicken was decently good. I wanna say my favorite thing was the rice which isn't good because when I'm going to an Indian restaurant I'm mainly excited for the garlic naan and butter chicken.

    1 Chicken 1 Vegetable Plate: Saag Paneer 8.58/10- so good, i love how creamy it is but not OVERLY creamy. Apparently the saag paneer has tofu instead of the cottage cheese, however I can't really tell. Chicken tikka masala 7.27/10- found it pretty watery unfortunately, however the flavor was still good. I wish it could have been a bit more spicy to add flavor. I felt like they didn't put that many pieces of chicken and also the pieces of chicken were kind of small. Also in relation to how much rice there is, so I feel like this could have been improved Garlic naan 7.48/10- some pieces were incredibly doughy, others very crisp. Pretty good, didn't have a huge flavor of garlic though but really good in relation to the vegetable/chicken plate

    tofu tikki masala
    Teddy J.

    this is my first time getting naan stop and i got the tofu tikki masala and it's one of the best things i've ever eaten. the tofu is SO succulent and i'm actually writing this review to make myself eat slower. (flatbread in picture is mine but i'm sure their naan is fire ). vibes in there are excellent too. i'm pescatarian and it's hard finding good affordable vegetarian food but this is so good. i cant wait to try more of their dishes.

    One of the few places in Isla Vista with FLAVOR. Naan Stop is a staple in this college town and we are lucky to have it! The food is full of big flavor, spices and quality ingredients - which can not be said about everywhere in IV. It's one of the few places I'd drive to IV for. The owner is one of the nicest people you'll meet and you can tell he truly cares about his business. His service, good energy and generosity is something we can all learn from. He makes sure it's comfortable,clean inside and ready to enjoy your amazing Indian food. Big fan of this guy!

    This place is a good stop for getting an Indian food fix, esp in IV! I came here with my roommates for dinner and when we got there, we had a hard time deciding what to order. Luckily, I was offered samples and it helped me figure out what to order! The worker was super patient with me and kind the whole time I was figuring out my order. I ended up getting a 1 chicken 1 veg rice plate with butter chicken and saag paneer! I also ordered a side of garlic naan and earl grey milk tea. The portions I was given were more than plenty; my food lasted two meals! Everything tasted great and I enjoyed every bite! The boba in my milk tea was the perfect texture and the drink had good flavor, but was a tiny bit watered down. Other than that, everything absolutely satisfied my cravings. I will def be coming back another time!

    2 chicken plate
    Jarred D.

    I ordered Naan Stop from DoorDash; with that in mind this review is only reflective of the food. I ordered the 2 Chicken Plate (chicken curry & chicken Tikka). The food looked as though it had been through a dryer cycle. Sauce was dripping out from every side of the plate. The rice was very bland, although most white rice had a particular flavor, I could not taste it on this rice. Some of the rice was mushy at the bottom; most likely from being soaked in the sauces from the chicken. The chicken curry tasted somewhat bland with a hint of curry and tomato. The chicken tikka was overly creamy for my taste; however, some may want it that way. I was hoping that more spices would come through and tantalize my palate, but it was not so.

    10/10 food, 20/10 service. Amazing experience every time I go. Good vegan and vegetarian options. A must-see every time I'm back in IV.

    We were passing the area when we decided we needed some lunch. I found this place on yelp and…read moredecided to give it a try. It was an open layout that had plenty of seating inside the restaurant. The decor was moder, but not overdone. We were greeting and pointed to a table but that was it. We realized there was a QR code on the table and we could order our food on there. It took a little while to get our food even though no one else was there. I found it really odd to not even be told to use the QR code to order or be informed of anything. Stewed beef noodles with Ramen- 9/10 My husband ordered this and I tried some. The broth was delicious. Rich and flavorful but not overbearing. The noodles were cooked perfectly and the meat was tender. The bok choy was a needed touch. My husband ate the whole bowl and wanted a second because was so good. Certified Angus Beef hot pot- 8/10 I ordered this with the tom yum broth. I didn't know it was a creamy version of the broth until it was served. I'm not mad about it but it wasn't in the description in case others are dairy sensitive. The broth was flavorful and really delicious. I will say that the beef was tough and it a typical cut that overcooked very quickly in the broth. I'm not positive it was Angus beef grade. I just now realized it was missing the lotus root but gave me zucchini instead. I was also missing my quail eggs. If I didn't read the description to know I was supposed to have them, I would've missed that too. Overall, the food was delicious but the service was 1 star for sure. We were never checked on and the waiter only appeared if we pushed the call button. If you can overlook the lack of customer service, the food is really delicious.

It also my first time having lotus fruit and now it's a must have for any broth/hot pot! It was a very relaxing restaurant to enjoy conversations with friends! It was incredibly easy to order food using their QR code menu on the table and the servers were very attentive if someone needed a refill on water or if we needed extra utensils! I'm looking forward to the rainy season when I can really leverage their Hong Kong-style hot pot!
