    Tika masala and tandoori chicken(dry)
    Keri C.

    Came here after it was highly recommended from a friend. Pros - Great flavor on the tika masala Cons - Skimpy on the chicken Both the chicken in my tika masala and my tandoori chicken were really dry. My food was room temp at best...... Service was whatever; fast but unenthusiastic. It's a shame because the flavor on the masala was probably one of the best I've had.

    tikka masala Only Indian restaurant with female Cook Homemade taste. Chicken tikka and lamb biryani. Yea 40 dollars not worth it with cheap rice

    Favorite Tikka Masala in Riverside. Also the veggie korma is the bomb. They're super nice and friendly too. Awesome place.

    Menu, there's a glare i couldnt help getting

    We got the chicken briyani and it was cool. My son wasnt the biggest fan, he said there wasnt a lot of chicken. Ill def eat here again though and i know he would too.

This is top notch. Mind you this is northern Indian and not to be compared with southern I found it since it was close to the military base and I so glad I tried it. To start the home made lentil soup was hearty and lentils had excellent texture so you can tell it fresh and yet it was complimentary. I had the bone in goat briyani which was succulent, huge portions and paired with their Raita it was perfectly balanced . Compared to the classic Hyderabadi style this has less spices and overall ingredients but it's more savory which is common with most northern style Indian food. Just a gem of place

    Absolutely wonderful!…read more Our first visit (and many more will come): warm welcome, amazing service, delicious food! We tried Al Karam out as we were told that the restaurant is the best Pakistani restaurant in the Inland Empire and this is 100% true! Veggie Pakora: just the right amount of spices - deliciously crispy and tender on the inside. Lamb Karahi: tender lamb in a wonderful tomato based sauce. we were asked for spice level: asked for level 7 out of 10 (will try higher next time). Paneer Tikka Masala: Paneer texture was just right (often and easy for overcook), flavors were great! Portion is large Mango Lassi: what a great treat! Garlic Naan and Large Rice: great side dishes - cooks take their time to prepare them, a sign of the general super high quality! Highly recommended! If you never tried Pakistani food, you needed try Al Karam out

    Came here to celebrate my brother-in-law's birthday and overall had a great experience…read more It's a family-owned restaurant and you can feel that right away. Everyone was friendly and welcoming, which made the visit more enjoyable. Prices are around $20 per plate, which is reasonable, especially since we ordered a few dishes and shared everything. Service-wise, the wait time was a bit longer than expected. Our food took about 30 minutes to come out, and it felt even longer considering it wasn't a busy weekend. Not a huge issue, but something to keep in mind if you're really hungry. Food was interesting in a good way. The curry dishes have a lighter color and a different flavor compared to typical Indian cuisine. You can tell it's a Pakistani style. I enjoyed trying something different, although I personally still prefer the richer, more familiar Indian flavors. The samosas were very good, and the green sauce, I believe it's called hari, was especially delicious and added a nice kick. The mango lassi drink was a surprise highlight. I'm usually not a big fan of mango lassi, but this one was super delicious. Honestly felt like a hidden gem on the menu. ***One thing to note, check your receipt before paying. They already include an 18% gratuity, and there's still a section to add an additional tip. Overall, the food was delicious, portions were satisfying, and we all left full and happy. Solid 4 stars. I'd come back again, just with a little patience for the wait.

    Wow! I'm amazed at how good the food was…read more We started off with a mango lassi- a delicious mango and yogurt smoothie drink Food: Tika masala- medium spice. This was delightful and the right amount of spice for us. Delicious Tandoori chicken - it's my personal fave. It's got a nice grilled crispy layer on the outside and nice and juicy inside. The garlic naan was thin and crispy. Sooooo good Pakoras- wow. It was so good. I'll def be back and I have these to blame. Service was great. Fell in love with the inside - the walls are painted in pretty flowers. Overall such a great experience.

    This is a small Mom and Pop Indian café located in the La Sierra neighborhood of Western Riverside,…read morenear La Sierra University. It has a very beautiful, artistic interior and clean look that makes a wonderful impression. The walls are painted in vibrant colors and designs. Even the bathroom is upgraded and gorgeous. They made a conscious effort to make their establishment very inviting. 5 stars for its upgrades in such a otherwise downy strip mall. We have tried several relatively new Indian restaurants in the past few months. The food, even when requested to be mild, had a bit more sting to it than I had hoped. That makes an impression that leads me to rate this as better than some, but not my favorite. First was an appetizer, a huge portion of Samosa Chaat. I was disappointed that the samosas were not particularly crisp after being smothered in the rich spicy gravy, chickpeas, and tamarind and mint sauces. It is a very pretty appetizer and very filling, but the overall spicy heat made it borderline inedible for me. Our second dish, the Butter Chicken, was very nice. There was plenty of dark meat chicken, tender and juicy, in the traditional, orange, creamy sauce. It was not only delicious with its exotic spice blend, it helped cool down the insides of my mouth while I was struggling with our other two dishes. Our final selection was the Aloo Gobi, basically, potato and cauliflower and a boatload of mixed spices. Sadly, this was too hot-spicy for wimpy me to enjoy. Again, we had requested each dish be prepared as "mild". I'm pretty sure they could have toned it down more than they did. Overall, a solid 4 stars is what I feel is fair. The prices were good, the servings were respectable, we had no complaints about the service, and the decor was very pretty. For those, unlike me, who can better handle the heat, it might have ranked higher.

After reading the reviews, I now see that the ownership has changed. Makes sense for the change in atmosphere and quality. The samosas used to be packed with stuffing and flavorful. Now the samosas I got recently are cold and smaller. The crust also seems to be different? It was almost burnt tasting. The icing on the cake (and the reason for my review) is the metal I found in my rice. I thought it was a spice at first but I'm glad I checked it before I ate it. Looks like part of the metal scrubber used to clean dishes. When I called them to let them know, the lady who answered didn't even try to make it right or offer a refund or replacement. She was nice and apologized but my meal was kind of ruined by the piece of metal so it would've been nice to at least gotten the option to replace it. Not sure if I will be coming back. Sad to see the old owners go. The old lady was always so friendly and welcoming.
