I was laying over at the truck stop and saw this little restaurant across the street. I looked at the reviews and decided to give it a try. I've not had much Indian food before. It was amazing! The staff were friendly. I definitely will be back when passing through. read more

My first time at this restaurant. It was delicious I can't wait to try more things off the menu. Great stop for Indian food in Tehachapi. 10/10 on food and service . Wish I could give 10 stars . read more

I been coming to this place for years and always had a great experience. The was always great fast service, great food. But unfortunately this time around was not very good. I could honestly be safe to say that I entirely blamed my waitress. She was new as I have never seen her before. She was older with a neat bun. She wasnt very friendly to anyone at the table for starters. And when me and my husband ordered our food it was wrong. We were really specific about what we wanted and double kade sure when she repeated back to us our order. We relieved our order it was spicy i couldn't even eat it. Same with my husband's. Since we were on a lunch break and she didnt even come back to check on us once, we couldnt even get our food fixed. Not once did she come to refill our drinks, we had to physically stop her and ask FOUR SEPARATE TIMES for to-go boxes because we were very obviously done eating for well over 15 mins at that point. She very obviously doesn't care about her job here and how she portrays her attitude towards customers. Wont be coming back for a bit. Hopefully she gets herself straight or at least leaves before we come back again. read more

I check out places in my travels and both my husband and I agree that this place is the best! We go here often, mostly get take away, but to get the food hot in those copper dishes makes it feel more authentic. They have some American fare ask well which makes it nice when coming with a big party where there may be other tastes. It's their problem their missing out! Oh and the mango drink was a nice finish. read more

Amazing food! Great service. Not many people there and only once server but we had a great time. It was quiet but there was good music playing, although it did not fit the vibe. Still awesome! read more

Yeah. It's official. The best Indian food in Bakersfield is in Tehachapi. We took a fun drive up to Tehachapi the back way and found this gem right next to the truck stop. Often a good sign for Indian food in Central California. The Onion Pakoras were crispy and not greasy. The flavor of fresh turmeric was excellent. The Onion Kulcha was almost like a pizza. My favorite part though was they have goat! The Goat Vindaloo was amazing. Spicy and herbal. My wife's Goat Karachi was also great and a little more veggie forward. Service was fast and friendly. Pricing was actually quite good. This one is definitely worth the drive. We'll be back for sure. read more

This place is so amazing. When we walked in there was a blazing fire in the fireplace. So homey for a cold day. Harish was our server and he is so wonderful. He's very attentive to our orders and kind. The food is the best. I really enjoyed my food especially the samosas. I love the food. I wish that I could eat there every day. There is a large selections of food on the menu to choose from. I want to return there for my birthday party. Great job to Harish and his cook. I forgot to mention that the food is full of great flavors. You can order your food in different degrees of heat. I admit that I'm a wimp and ask for my food to be mild. But if you prefer more heat go for the medium or hot. I'm sure they're all great. read more

This place is exceptional and the fact that it's in a small town makes it a gem. We had the Tiki Masala, Butter Chicken, rice and veggie Samosa's. Everything we had was beyond amazing and nothing was too salty, spicy or forgettable. I can't stress how amazed how delicious the food is here and I highly recommend you try it. read more

Fabulous Indian food in a small mountain town? Yes! The service was excellent from the moment I walked in. The owner recommended an appetizer I had never heard of- a cauliflower dish called Gobi Manchurian. The presentation was beautiful and the taste was outstanding! The Butter Chicken was the best I've had of all the Indian restaurants I've tried. Truly the best I've ever tasted. I will definitely stop here every time I drive through as it's right off the freeway. 5 stars indeed! read more

Sneaky good restaurant. Indian food is the specialty but don't sleep on the burger! I think I'm trying rack of lamb next time. Tikka masala was good. I like it a little creamier so that's why it's not a 5 star review. The garlic naan was piping hot and garlicky and great to dip in your entree. I thought I used to love the Taj Mahal larger. It's either changed or my tastes has. It's kinda super light. read more

We absolutely love this restaurant! It's become one of our favorites in town. The food is delicious and the staff are always so nice and welcoming. It's such a cozy atmosphere. We always get our food at a number 2 spicy level and it's perfect for us (not too hot but still has a nice kick). The tikka masala is amazing and we always get three cheese naan to dip into it. Their chai tea is delicious in winter especially next to their fireplace and in the summer, their refreshing lime soda is just sweet enough to satisfy and quench our thirst. Absolutely amazing restaurant! read more

Excellent food, attentive staff, a great place to eat. I drive miles to eat here. I have tried lots of Indian dishes but always relish a good rack of lamb. read more

We were craving for some Indian food and decided to give Prime Bar and Grill a try. Parking was no problem, there are plenty of spots outside the restaurant. It's a relatively new restaurant (opened in 2020 during pandemic). There's indoor as well as outdoor dining. Inside: the dining area is different and bar area is different. We were promptly seated in the dining area. The tables were spaced out, so it is easy to maintain distance esp during Covid. We ordered mango lassi, aloo cutlet, and Malai kofta. Aloo cutlet came with chana. Malai kofta was served with rice. The gravy was super yummy, koftas very luscious and tasty. All the dishes were delicious. We also ordered aloo paratha and mix veg parathas to go. It's Punjabi-style parathas, so it's pretty big, 1 was enough for 2 people. The owners are nice and very friendly. Overall great service, delicious and authentic Indian food. If you are in the area, give it a try. Would highly recommend it. Plenty of vegan and veg options. read more

Delicious as always! Their food just comes out perfectly and tasty! Their customer service has always been great, but today, Anmol catered to us and she was ON POINT! She was so sweet, even asked if we wanted the music to be turned down (since we had our little one with us she probably thought it was too loud for her )... There is a reason their Yelp reviews are so positive ... congratulations on having a successful business! read more

Prime Bar and Grill was a delightful find. Vegan friendly. Plentiful serving sizes. Great wait staff. I had the Gobi Manchurian as an appetizer. The serving size was huge! The cauliflower was done perfectly. The sauce and crunchy veggies complimented it perfectly. The veggie biryani was very tasty with a good variety of veggies. The dal tadka with the black lentils was lovely. And the roti scooped up the dal nicely. Beer was on tap and served in a wonderfully chilled mug. Service was prompt and attentive. I highly recommend this spot for vegans and non-vegans. I look forward to a return visit! read more

Among the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to! FOOD: Malai Kofta (5 out of 5): This was among the best malai kofta I've ever had. The veggie balls were perfect, and the creamy sauce was full of flavor. Veggie Pakhora (5 out of 5): Perfectly crisp, and I really liked the tamarind sauce. Fish Pakhora (5 out of 5): Crisp outside, and very soft and flakey fish on the inside. Spiced very well. Lamb Vindaloo (4.5 out of 5): Tender chunks of lamb in a deep and rich dark curry. Mixed Grille (4.5 out of 5): An assortment of meats sizzling hot on the cast iron platter. The lamb and Salmon were my favorite. Comes with a creamy tomato-based sauce for dipping, similar to malai kofta sauce. Shrimp Biryani (4 out of 5): I personally tend to go for the curries, but this was an excellent biryani. Garlic Naan (5 out of 5): I think every indian meal should have garlic naan to go with it! Super crisp and delicious. read more

I'm married to an Indian and we both absolutely loved this restaurant. In order of excellence: 1. Mango Lassi- best we've ever had 2. Saag paneer- amazing. Spicier than expected Tied: 3. Mango chicken - so flavorful. Nice balance of savory and sweet 3. Chicken tikka masala - great flavor. Fresh. 3. Panner tikka masala - excellent 3. Samosas were beautifully cooked, great balance and freshness 4. Samosa chaat - okay, but there wasn't enough yogurt on it. 4. Malai Kofta - a little too sweet for our taste 5. Chicken vindaloo - bad. Didn't taste anything like vindaloo. Sauce was not cooked enough and only had chilis. The butter garlic naan was excellent. Rice was great. Lime soda was great. Also, the place could get loud, but nothing you can't handle. They ought to hang tapestries on the walls and drape them on the ceilings to absorb and soften sound. read more

Good service with offerings and great suggestions. A little late tonight and they were cleaning the restaurant still the service was very good. read more
