There could have been a few more choices on the buffet, but, for the price, it was a steal. I barely spent more than I normally do getting a single dish at other restaurants.

Came across this little gem. We ended up with happy stomaches…read more 1st of all, the menu does say the customers can choose the spicy level of the food. When I go to a new restraint, I always ask their standards and recommendations. I like spicy but I have learned that each cultural food on the spicy level can be 180 different. We ordered two dishes: vg korma no spicy and chicken choila spicy level 4, which was recommended by their server. This place has good amounts of vegetarians options. My partner opted for vegetable korma, which is slightly sweet but the food is flavorful for us. I am not a vegetarian but I definitely like this dish. Chicken choila is so powering, flavorful, and tasty. I am not a fan of chicken breast but the chef did an amazing job on keeping the meat juicy not dry. It has a lot species and ginger in this dish. The chef I believe came out from the kitchen talking to us at the end. He explained this dish is a modified. The original from Nepel is fire roasted buffalo meat (If I dont remember wrong) and is very spicy. I really appreciate he explained it. The portion is very generous. I ate half of the dish and kept another half for the next meal. The brown rice! Oh my...the rice is not soggy and it's legit not boxed frozen rice to me. I had been to other asian restaurants that the rice wasn't cooked good or its frozen rice. I recommend to give a try :) I am a newbie of Indian/ Himalayan food.

Kind and efficient staff. Beautiful and clean restaurant. Take out is just as delicious. Food is packed in sturdy containers and is just as tasty at home as when you dine in. We usually order Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic naan and rice. However, I've tried a handful of dishes and every single one is yummy. You can't go wrong with Curry & More in San Marcos.

If I new that I can't get printed receipt I would tip 15% or less when owner or maybe manager told me that they don't print receipt cause some kind of extortion and proposition 65 I did not argue and just said thank you and left. I must look really stupid or maybe he thought I am, but I know that I'll never come back to eat there again. Why would I have to give up my email or phone number to have receipt? Just print it out!

More cheaper though! The sauce was more thin rather than a little bit more thick as usual, but In my opinion it soaks a lot better into the naan & rice; the different texture doesn't jeopardize the taste at all if I want to be honest, as the flavor tastes the exact same. Great stuff guys! I'm a happy customer. :)

I live i Los Angeles, but I travel to Carlsbad for work. Whenever I do, I grab lunch at Hyderabad Cafe for dine-in, and then order some food to take back with me to LA.

After seeing this place numerous times we finally decided to check it out…read more It's located in a small strip mall, so parking wasn't difficult on a Tuesday evening close to 6:00pm. Walking in, it wasn't busy. There was only 1 person waiting for a to-go order. There was a good amount of seating. It wasn't the cleanest though, the floors needed some serious sweeping. We seated ourselves and the young man at the front counter took our order. He was very quiet but helpful. We ordered the Tikka Masala with chicken, Butter Masala w/ chicken, Vindaloo with Shrimp and Garlic Naan. The food was piping hot-temperature wise and arrived in take-out containers. So we needed to wait a few minutes for it to cool a little so we could eat it. Their ice maker wasn't working and the water was warm, so there was no cooling to be found there. When we finally tried the food, we were impressed. The spice-levels of each dish were as expected and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, in the Vindaloo, chicken was put in instead of the shrimp which we had ordered. But it was still good. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic Naan as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried this place. The prices are comparable to other establishments of the same cuisine. However, the food is above average. We'll be back!

I decided to get a mango lassi, naan, and chicken makhani, and the woman working the counter asked if I was ordering just for myself. When I said yes, she recommended the combo which includes rice and naan. I love a combo, and this one sounded like a really good deal. It also came with the option to get double chicken makhani or to add another entrée selection. I chose the malai kofta. I appreciated her suggestion, and considering how late I was there, I left a nice tip. When the order was ready about 10 minutes later, she told me that she had thrown in a couple of extras. Instead of making me feel like a burden for coming in late, they treated me with kindness and generosity. I say all of this not so everyone who goes here expects freebies toward the end of the night, but so that you know the service is top-notch and the food is a great value even without the bonus add-ons. If I find myself over here again while I'm still in San Diego, I will absolutely pick up takeout from Punjabi Tandoor.

So the company decided to fall back on the holiday we celebrated last November which was Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights. The dates of the festival vary each year, and this year it was back on October 20th. But we celebrated in November by getting lunch catered from Himalayan Bistro in Oceanside. We ordered the following: Vegetable Samosas :vegan: Plain Naan and Garlic Cilantro Naan (not vegan or dairy friendly, unfortunately) Chana Masala :vegan: Vegetable Chow Mein :vegan: Saag PaneerChicken (dairy) Tikka Masala (dairy) Lamb Tandoori (dairy free) I really enjoyed the GIANT samosas, Chana masala, vegetable chow mein(I had no idea that chow main could be Himalayan), and the Lamb Tandoori. I'm not the biggest fan of Indian food, but I LOvED this meal. I had seconds!!! I want to come back here with my vegan friends because I bet they will enjoy it too. Thank you Himalayan Bistro for opening my food horizons.
