Curry !
Sarah S.

I had the curry bowl - med. spice, soo delicious. Just the right flavors, and spice. They actually lowered their prices due to current inflation, owner told us the new menus had not been printed yet. Love this place, it's is very clean, great prices for the food we got, & server was helpful with explaining some of the dishes, I will definitely be back.

Very good food, friendly and attentive service. We got the tikka masala and paneer with spicy level. Also got garlic naan, mango lassi, and chai. The saffron rice that comes with certain dishes was generous and delicious. They were sensitive to my allergies. Definitely will return here when I'm in the area!

Saag Paneer $17

Met the owner, Sal (Salaman) & his daughters, Nazia & Andriana (Andy)! Amazing service, and definitely a family friendly atmosphere. Shocking to have such a personal, welcoming service at a food hall---this place is a definite hidden gem! Super flavorful. Everything on the menu is drool worthy. Worth the drive for us! (We're not locals but drive out from West Covina to dine here) The food is so authentic and delicious than majority of the Brick & Mortar Indian restaurants we've frequented. Love that they truly are a made to order sit down. You can count on fresh, homemade style, flavorful cooking here. It was so good, we drove out again the day after because we craved the yumminess (They're consistent! I'm writing this review as we're seated this second visit lol)

Butter chicken - delicious but small protein portions, dry chicken, but the sauce was AMAZING
Pauline N.

Came back here for their garlic naan and their butter chicken! After trying a few other places in the area - my boyfriend kept saying "Sana's Butter chicken and naan is better" lol. //CONTEXT// We came here on a Friday at around 4 pm as a party of two! We were seated immediately. //ENVIRONMENT// Inside Union Market K-scope in the back! //FOOD// Garlic Naan is my favorite here. It's buttery and garlic pieces are good. And not overly dry either. We ordered two servings which is perfect. Their butter chicken is super tasty! Tastes so good dipping the garlic naan. I think there was more chicken this time, too! The garlic sweet and sour was so tasty! If you love like Chinese or Vietnamese food this dish hit the spot! It was so savory and yummy! Loved the onions and seasoning. //SERVICE// We had a very nice server who I believe may have been the owner. She refilled our drinks promptly and checked up on us. //OVERALL// We'll be back :) updating my review because this is definitely some of the best Indian Pakistani food we've had!

The garlic Naan you've been missing your whole life!

Okay, no joke, the best Indian food I've ever had! Ended up here on a total accident because the hot pot place next door was too busy! Must admit, this was a total pivot option. This was the happiest accident of my life. I was expecting .... Basic, over creamed Indian food. What I got was simply, brilliance. I am not kidding when I say this is the best I've ever had, coast to coast. We had the Lamb korma, Tikka, Garlic Naan... Somoa's. I'm literally in disbelief how good this food was! The girl serving us incredibly sweet. Her dad is the chef! This is the place. No doubt

Really nice service and cute small place. Really enjoyed the flavors of the saag and the butter chicken and the naan was super good! Barely any seating as it's in a small food court area. Thought service sizes would be a bit bigger for the price but the saag paneer had only like 5 cheese cubes in it. Really enjoyed the yogurt drink also! Good flavors but a bit overpriced for serving size in my opinion

What is there not to love about this restaurant. ?! I came here again about a month ago. I ordered the beef biryani this time and of course I was not disappointed. Firstly, the flavors and aroma are so heavenly. so, so good . The food is very high quality. Portions are sufficient and pricing is decent for the area. I went during weekday so not too busy and was served within 15-20 minutes , service was friendly and welcoming. This place is a gem, happy to add to my list of favorite restaurants in OC.

Went with a group of friends for a quick lunch and this place was a hidden gem! The foods were fresh and delicious. Service was excellent. Will come back to try their other dishes

Very good curry and rice. We had the mild curry and it very tasteful. The restaurant is at the Kaleidoscope mall in the Union Market in the back to the right.

Reviews are largely positive. People highlight the flavorful food, friendly service, and comfortable atmosphere. Pricing is seen as good value.

Easily one of the best Indian restaurants I've had in SoCal. The ambiance feels upscale without…read morebeing pretentious. The interiors and decor are *chef's kiss. One detail I loved was the screen playing old-school Indian movies in the background. It adds a layer of nostalgia to the experience that's hard to describe, almost like the feeling you get watching classic black-and-white films. The food does take a little while to come out, but it's absolutely worth the wait. Service is friendly. Samosa Chaat (9/10) - An explosion of flavours. I loved that they leave larger chunks of samosa throughout the dish instead of turning it into one giant mashed potato bowl. Great texture and balance. Dahi Puri (8/10) - Refreshing, slightly spicy, sweet, and savuory all at once. Plus, it's a fun dish to eat. Lamb Curry (7.5/10) - The meat was tender and the curry itself was rich and flavuorful. Butter Chicken (8.5/10) - Packed with flavor and hands down the best butter chicken I've had in Orange County. My only complaint is that the portion wasn't bigger. I ran out of butter chicken before I finished my naan

The food was lowkey not good at all... the mango lassi was warm and hard to drink. One of the…read moredishes that I can't remember the name of (is in one of the pictures) was so oily there was a puddle of oil in it. Everything was oily- like actually felt gross by the end of the night. The place itself was cute but there was no windows open and so many tables as well as a movie streaming - I could barely hear myself think. The waiter was really nice I don't have any complaints about the service. The food was also very overpriced. Will not go back.

The average 5-star review is suspicious unless a takeaway experience differs from the dine-in…read moreexperience. Even on our way out, I heard a conflict regarding a takeaway order. My family chose Himalayan Taste because it's a Nepalese / Nepali restaurant which also serves Indian dishes. (Yes, there are nuances between the cuisines. We enjoyed both restaurants in Manchester.) When we arrived on a Sat, slightly earlier than the dinner rush hour, the restaurant was pleasantly filled. I like when people support locally-owned businesses in the neighborhood. We didn't wait long to be seated at a table, get ice water, and place our order. The waiter even asked what spice level (1 mild to 10 hottest) we wanted for each dish; he also asked (with a slightly testy tone) if we wanted a drink other than water. A plain lassi, why not? Then the rush arrived. Our order arrived, plus basmati rice - which we didn't order b/c we have a low-carb plan. The jalfrezi and vindaloo were mild, despite ordering a level 8 heat. The saag ordered to level 5 was actually hotter. :D Based on a blood sugar level the following morning, we suspect sugar. (Indian and Nepali cooks in England have told us sugar = cheating / manipulation of authentic cooking.) The restaurant is under-staffed. Water refills were infrequent. Our waiter didn't check on us. The lassi was never served; at least it wasn't charged to our tab. By the entrance, people were waiting for tables as we waited for the check so we could free up a table... as another (empty) table waited to be bussed. The upside: The food was slightly flavorful and pricing is relatively affordable, but we won't return.

This is the best curry house I've ever been! Started with Masala fries, not spicy at all. Next time…read moreI'll order spicy. The green sauce that came with the Chicken 65 appetizer was delicious. I can't decide which Curry was better between the Chickpea Hustle or the Tikka Royal (Paneer Tikka Masala). Both were amazing accompanied by the Garlic Hit Naan. My taste buds were having a party. I wrapped up this amazing dinner with Pista ice cream. Sid's friendly recommendations were spot on. Thank you Sid! The vibe was very relaxing. This is a great family owned restaurant. The owner stopped by to make sure we enjoyed our meal. I can't wait to return next time I'm in Mission Viejo!

I really loved the Vada Pav it was probably my favorite! The Pani Puri shots were of course great and a must try! We also got chicken tandoori & Their garlic naan has to be my favorite I've tried! We were so full we definitely needed to go boxes but we also still had to try desert! We got Malai Kulfi it was so rich and creamy and honestly is going to haunt my dreams until I get back to OC! We sat outside which was very nice and mellow the lights on the patio were super cute. The owner was there and was super helpful and attentive! Our server was also very kind!

Delicious food for a great price!…read more This restaurant is located near the freeway tucked away near the Tommy's sandwiches -!: Big 5 sporting goods! We went for the dinner buffet. Parking was easy. Service was quick and server was friendly. We'll definitely return!

You get what you pay for with a $16 all-you-can-eat buffet at Royal India Restaurant…read more I'll start with the positives. The naan was nice and fluffy, and the rice pudding was sweet (although it tasted store-bought). Unfortunately, everything else went downhill from there. The Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, fried pakoras, and even the rice all tasted like yesterday's leftovers reheated for today's buffet. Nothing tasted particularly fresh or flavorful. And let's talk about the Tandoori Chicken. The pieces were ridiculously small, looked like they'd taken a bath in red food coloring, and were so hard and chewy that eating them felt like a jaw workout. If you're on a SUPER DUPER BUDGET and your main priority is filling your stomach without emptying your wallet, this place might be perfect for lunch or dinner. But if you're looking for quality Indian food with authentic flavors, freshness, and dishes actually worth getting excited about, I'd gladly spend a few extra dollars elsewhere. There are easily 50 other Indian restaurants I'd consider before returning. In conclusion service its okay, food its crap, location kinda hidden. Final verdict: Affordable? Absolutely. Memorable? Unfortunately, for all the wrong reasons. Sometimes a cheap buffet is just a cheap buffet.
