The indian food was great, especially for the location. The veggie samosas were really excellent, and the sauces, if not spectacular, were decent. I had the karahi lamb. The lamb was tasty and very tender, and the dish true to style - big win. Rice was good but cool versus hot in arrival. So now the drawback.: The service was perfunctory at best, flat poor to be honest. I'll spare you the details if you don't expect much in the service side. read more

Delicious food and great service. Love that we have this option here in Tehachapi! Chicken Tikka Masala and Paneer Tikka Masala with the garlic naan... mmmmm. read more

My oh my! We're we ever surprised at our delightful and delectable experience at Prime Bar and Grill in Tehachapi. Especially since neither of us had ever eaten this type of cuisine. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Tika Masala. It was delightful and the portions were more than adequate. In addition we tried the garlic naan which was tasty. Service was excellent and very friendly. We got to sit by their lovely fireplace. Very comfortable. I would recommend this lovely place for anyone for a great dining experience. PS. The leftovers were just as yummy! read more

My friend said, "it's good Indian for Tehachapi" but that's selling it short. It's good Indian food, period! The tandoori, tikka and naan were great! They also have American foods like burgers and Mac n cheese for kids. There's a full bar so order whatever drinks you want. Good service and a nice environment. read more

What a find!! Definitely in my top 3 of favorite Indian food spots. I had the Achari Chicken with naan and basmati rice. My girlfriend had the Saag Paneer. So much flavor and spices. As an added bonus you can customize the spice level of any dish. If your passing through Tehachapi, do your tastebuds a favor and stop in for lunch or dinner. You won't be disappointed. I hardly ever rate or post reviews of restaurants but I felt this place deserves all the support I can give. Also, I really want it to succeed so I can visit again someday. Sorry about no pictures, my girlfriend does all the photos of food we eat. read more

Perfect stop between Coast and Sierras. Excellent food, easy/nice staff. We will be back many times.

Delicious Indian food! Their Butter chicken (rolled around an herbal/vegetable filling) was the best I've ever had. read more

Delicious, above average Indian food. Attentive service and comfortable, quiet ambiance.

This is a must stop if you're traveling through. The best Indian cuisine I've had in a long long time. Everything is fresh, the restaurant is super clean and the staff are very warm and welcoming. read more

This was our first time but definatly will go back again - I got the sampler and is was a beautiful presentation and tasted wonderful. Hightly recommend if you like indian food and even if you are new to it - try this place read more

OFF THE HOOK AWESOME! We WILL be back! Outstanding food, impeccable service, and very very nice atmosphere. The PB&G team was the best....oh yeah, the food was amazingly tasty. So freakin good! read more

Best food in Tehachapi. Dal soup and samosas to start, followed by chicken curry (or butter chicken curry) with herb naan. Hits the spot every time. read more

The best Indian food I've ever had! Indian is my absolute favorite. I guess I will have to make the 3+ hour trip away from home just to enjoy the best Indian food! The spice level is quite spicy which we really enjoyed:) nice atmosphere but a bit chilly inside. Staff was attentive read more

The food is bomb and the staff is always quick and kind. We love their chicken tikka and biryani especially.

I was super excited to try this food, I love Indian food and Prime bar & Grill has amazing reviews. However, I'm just not sure why this place has 4.9 stars. I've tried a lot of Indian restaurants & this was my second to worst I've had. The food was okay. Mediocre at best, but my garlic cheese naan was completely burnt. (no exaggeration) the butter chicken was okay but lacking flavor. I was dissapointed. I expected it to be a bit pricey & was okay with that, as long as the food lived up to expectations! Unfortunately it didn't. I've had better Indian food from a food truck in ridgecrest, California. Which says a lot. read more

Took my mom here. It was her first time having Indian food. Couldn't have picked a better place. Perfect halfway point between Inyokern and Bakersfield so we were able to meet halfway to have lunch together. The inside is gorgeous. It would be a great place for a date. The service was awesome. Our server was on top of it. We were the only ones there at that time of day. But he seemed very attentive and helpful. Every single dish we ordered was amazing. I've eaten at a lot of different Indian places. And this one just had an incredible flavor to all of its curries. My mom loved the lamb. Not my thing would go here again. read more

Such a nice restaurant with very tasty curry. Our spice options were from 1-6 and we both ordered a 5... whoa what a yummy spicy experience! Delicious. read more

Food was okay, to be honest. Nothing so special as I've been to several Indian restaurants. We got to sample some desserts and it was a hit or miss. read more

Prime Bar & Grill in Tehachapi CA is a gem in our community. Rashi, Marco and the staff have always made us feel at home there by creating an inviting atmosphere. The food is terrific, the portions generous, and we ALWAYS have leftovers the following day. Thanks for serving our community. Wether you're passing through, or a local, you gotta eat there! Til next time, well be back, thanks again! read more

I absolutely love this restaurant the food is always amazing my absolute fav is the lamb and goat vindaloo, the aloo naan wow, the service always exceptional the only thing I do not understand is that you cannot order online, it would be nice to be able to place an online order and pick up I even tried to download the app it suggested but it still doesn't give me the option to order online. read more

In my opinion, this is the best restaurant in Tehachapi, the butter chicken melts in your mouth. I like it with a little heat, so I get it medium heat. The service is also great. 5 stars!!! read more

Love this place! Been there twice now and both times it's been incredibly good. Got to sit next to the fire this time, definitely a plus on a cold January night. We ordered the Aloo Tikki (little potato pancakes) with the tasty sauces for appetizer, then the Tandoori Shrimp, Chicken Curry, and Vegetable Biryani. This was more than plenty for 3. Mango and pistachio ice creams for dessert! Everything was superb. All the sauces are interesting and so tasty. Tehachapi is definitely lucky to have a five star Indian restaurant. Can't recommend it more highly! read more

Decided to stop here on the way home from Kern. It smells amazing the minute you walk in. It's a cozy and comfortable environment that is super clean. Everything we ordered was amazing... definitely the best Indian food in the area. Our server Victor was awesome and gave us great advice on new things to try. This will definitely be a place we stop in at on our way home from now often. read more

Prime Bar and Grill - Rack of Lamb, garlic naan, cheese naan, lamb curry, and chicken soup. - Indian Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Just ate here and writing this review right away. Really classy and new restaurant! Nice decor, cute patio dining and very spacious inside. Staff was super nice and service was fast. I was a little skeptical if this place will do it for us, but it did and surprisingly so. The food here will certainly please both the western and Indian palate. While there is certainly room for more spice, the food was very flavorful and not bland as I had thought it may be. The prime mixed grill was sizzling hot and very tasty. Well marinated and delicious fish and shrimp in it. The lamb and chicken were delicious, would have loved it spicier though. The goan fish curry (coconut based curry with salmon) was a little sweet for my taste but still very good. Dal tadka with yellow dal was really good, toor dal would be a better choice though instead of chana dal. Tandoori Roti was some of the best I have had in a while. Crispy, fresh, hot, buttered roti ... yum yum ! They also made a plain salty lassi for me upon request although not on the menu and it was nice foamy with some salt, cumin and mint. A little disappointing was the mango ice cream, it wasn't very smooth and had ice crystals in it. And while a drizzle of chocolate syrup made it look pretty, chocolate really does not go very well with mango. Overall, we were very pleased and will return. read more

This is one of the places we always recommend to friends and family. It is an unexpected find out here in Kern County, but it NEVER disappoints. I think I've had a different dish every time, and I can't choose a favorite (although it could have been the Tikka Masala with Salmon....). It is a wonderfully clean restaurant with quick service, can handle a large group without a problem, and I promise you will find something you'll fall in love with. read more

This is THE best restaurant in Tehachapi! WOW!!!! SO good!!! If you're not familiar with Indian food, you'll be fine - give it a try! It's flavorful and has tender meats. Yummy! The basmati rice is divine - it smells so nice, has a great mouthfeel, and tastes wonderful. I love their chicken (#39) or lamb (#52a) curry. The goat curry (#55) is very good too, but it has bones in it which I'm not a fan of working around. The Goa Fish Curry (#60) is very creamy and mild in flavor. I also love their Onion Pakora (#6) and Vegetable Pakora (#2) - they are tender & crispy fritters with magically yummy dipping sauces! My family likes their Naan (#15). We've not had anything here we didn't like! While I do enjoy spicey food, I think Indian food already has enough flavor so I order mine "Mild" and am very happy with it. Some in my family love spicey foods, so they go for "Medium" spiciness and are very happy. The wait-staff will help you navigate that if you like. If you have food sensitivities/allergies/preferences, they are knowledgeable about their menu and how to help you find something safe for you to eat. Being gluten & dairy-free myself, I appreciate that there are plenty of options. I think Indian restaurants are also knowledgeable about providing safe food for vegans and vegetarians. So there really is something for everyone. Their employees are very friendly. Cutsomer service is great! The interior is clean, bright, & open - like a breath of fresh air. They have booths and tables to chose from. The restrooms are very clean. read more

Wasn't sure what to expect due to the location, however, it was fabulous. The staff and food were amazing and we will absolutely go back. We were super happy and have leftovers for tomorrow. Great experience. read more

We stopped in for lunch and my wife had a hamburger, I had the lamb tikka masala. I asked for it to be spicy and it was great. I also had the garlic naan. The waiter was nice and cordial. They even had the fireplace going for the ambiance. read more

AMAZING food, friendly staff. Will be back to try the lamb. Medium spicy is actually medium. Chicken was tender. Update: came back for lamb. 10/10 read more

Excellent food! Excellent service! Beautifully decorated Great atmosphere! Never a bad experience!

Food was excellent! We were visiting friends in the area who live there and we were so happy to find this hidden gem. The only reason I took off one star was because service was bad. Our server was very stoic, and seemed to be in a hurry for us to give her our order. She never smiled or asked if we needed anything as soon as she brought the food to the table and the restaurant was not even crowded. All the curries in the pot came without a serving spoon and when asked for one, she told us to use the spoon from the rice plate for the various curries we ordered which was of a different base. I didn't respond to that. Then after a few mins, I asked again for a spoon for the yogurt raita and she brought it begrudgingly. All in all, if you're going there expecting good service forget about it, but the awesome food makes up for the lack of it. read more

Food is pretty good here. Wish it was a bit more spicy but still pretty good. Staff is friendly and provide good service.

Seriously the best wings I've ever had. Bartender is awesome and great service. Definitely stopping here again. Beer is very cold and large

Very yummy food! Inside the restaurant is nice and clean. They have lots of options to choose from. The naan bread comes in all sorts of varieties and it is all yummy. This is a good place to try in Tehachapi. It is different from most other places in the town. I would recommend it. read more

Chicken Tikka Masala, Baighan Bharta, Vegetable Samosa, Garlic Naan ON POINT! We were so excited to find this place but a bit hesitant...can any good Indian food be found in Tehachapi?? YES!! Legit. Only complaint is we noted spice level was not very spicy. Husband ordered Medium Spicy and I ordered Mild Medium, and it wasn't even a hint of spicy. Just mild across the board. Next time will order up on the spice level. Ambiance was a little weird. Not even music playing, very quiet and empty for a Friday night. Eerily quiet. Big open empty space. But come anyway if you just want great food. read more

Woweeeee! Only Indian food restaurant in town and I am so happy about that!! Flavorful, authentic and spicy! Great menu and sparkling clean dining! Appears to be in a truck stop type area...but plenty of parking and worth the trip to the edge of town. Service was awesome and portions were generous. You will love it. Ask for a spice level SIX!! read more
