Food service was amazing. I was new to trying Indian food for the first time and they had so many options to choose from. The owners and staff were very friendly and welcoming. Their chicken Curry was what I ordered and I highly recommend you guys will try it out. read more

Was craving for a Triple schezuan and didnt find it around San Diego and so my search brought me to this place. The triple schezuan was great. Only thing i felt was it was too much noodle and too less rice. Shifting that ratio a bit would make it perfect. Chicken manchow soup - This took me straight to my favorite chinese place in Bombay. Looking forward to checking out the rest of their menu. Some of the food others were being served looked edy good! read more

Good food, rude to women. The food is very decent for North County, just incredibly ghee heavy. My hang up is they just don't seem to acknowledge me presumably because I'm a woman. I ask a question, they answer my partner. We conclude ordering, they thank him. I ask for the check because we take turns paying, they give it to him thanking him again. Someone else went and reported back that they were incredibly impatient with answering any question, which is how they were with me as well. They make it feel like you are inconveniencing them with any request for clarification. read more

We went to Carlsbad flower field visit, we saw this restaurant in area and wanted to try. Got there at 6:00 pm nice, clean place, nice staff. We had masala papad, pav vada, chole bhature, and indi chini sizzler. Papa was good. Vada pav was good as well. Indi chini sizzler was NOT good Manchurian balls were dry as bone, no veggies in there, just couple of stands of carrots mixed with flour. It was dry and chewy and stretchy. NOT flavorful at all. They topped whole sizzler platter with manchurian sauce. Wanted to taste fried rice and noodles taste seprately. Wont recommend that. Bhature were bit oily, chole were flavorful. Everything was pining hot, just the way we like it. Will git it try again, for other menu items. read more

I was not a fan. The food was okay, oily and chunky. The server was pushy and not very pleasant. The place itself was really clean and pretty. Not going back! read more

Over priced, and the food mid. Returned my masala chicken because it wasn't spicy and they gave me a new one and it wasn't spicy just hot. The portions are hella small for what you pay for. Ended up spending over $120 for one beer, two small entrees, and a dessert. The waiter was pushy and literally forced an appetizer on us that was garbage. Will never go again. I don't even like writing reviews, but the price for the food portions and quality is why I'm here ranting read more

Amazing hidden gem in a mall. Its in a very busy location and recently opened. The owner and staff are very nice and very hands on. Service is fast and lots of options for Vegetarians and meat lovers. Tried the vegetable barbecue sizzler and it was pretty decent. Very flavorful esp the chutney. The chatpata dosa was average, I wouldn't try it again, same for the chutney and sambhar. The vegetable jalfrezi and naan was absolutely amazing!! We couldnt stop eating. The owner kept asking about food quality which shows utmost care for food and people. The kids dosa was pretty good too. read more

Was running around and started to get hungry. Then, I remembered I saw this place when I had gone to the mall a couple days prior, so I decided to try it out! I can't help but get my usual, butter kitchen and garlic naan! My Indian food fix was met! The flavor was very good! I couldn't finish it, so I took it to go, and it was definitely enough to get two meals from it! Yay! They had so much on their menu, and I want to go back to try the other items! Definite must try if you are in the area! read more

Sankalp - The Taste of India - Butter kitchen and garlic naan - Indian Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We recently got a recommendation from a friend to try this new restaurant in town so we decided to give it a shot. As soon as we arrived, parking was easy since this restaurant is located in a mall. There was no wait time and we were seated almost immediately. We got a thumbs up cold drink because it had been so long since I had one. We also ordered the chicken biryani, paneer balti and jaipuri veg. Since the gravy items came with rice, we only ordered 2 portions of garlic bread to share amongst 4 of us. The food came out pretty quickly. The presentation was 10/10. However, the quantity looked less for the price. We decided to stop overthinking and dig in. The biryani was flavorful and cooked to perfection. The paneer gravy had a pickle like taste and had an interesting flavor. The jaipuri veg was tasty and packed with vegetables. The garlic bread was roasted well and was soft. Overall, the food was authentic and tasted great. However, we felt the gravy portion size was too small for the price. I recommend trying this restaurant. However, it is a pricey one! read more

Tears of joy when we saw the Sankalp marquee going up, and more happy tears when we took our first bite - Sankalp is excellent! There's more and more Indian places popping up in the area over the past few years, but Sankalp easily tops them all. Prices reflect the quality of food, menu, and ambiance. It isn't cheap, but neither is anything about the experience. The menu is expansive. The dum biryani is so hearty and delicious, and we love that there are dosas and uttapams on the menu as well. This is a local, family-owned business so it feels good eating here for many reasons. read more

i went in because outside it looked like they had a lunch special! but turns out it's only if you get takeout. since i already committed to eating here, i decided to pay full price for what i normally get at indian/himalayan places: daal. the daal was actually pretty good, i think they added lime which added good complexity to the dish. besides that, portion was very small, and dish was way too pricey. i will not be returning read more

Chicken Tikka Masala ($18.99) - I loved the spice on this, which was a nice, slow burn. The curry was also creamy and flavorful. I surprisingly hoped for it to be a little sweeter though, which is usually not the case with Tikka Masala. And the portions could've been bigger, given the price. read more

This place is comfy and cozy. A very welcoming atmosphere. We ordered the Goan Shrimp Curry, Samosas, Garlic Naan, and Sweet Corn Soup, and everything was absolutely fabulous. I only managed to capture a video of the soup because I started digging in before I even thought about taking pictures LOL. The flavors were exactly what they needed to be and more. Everything tasted fresh, balanced, and full of depth. A pleasant gentleman came over to check on us and shared that their spices are sourced directly from India, which was great to learn and definitely explains the robust, authentic flavor in the dishes. The service was excellent as well. All of our questions were answered, and the staff anticipated our needs before we even had to ask. Overall, the experience was A1 from start to finish. We will definitely be coming back. You should join us! read more

Highly recommend! We've eaten at dozens of Indian restaurants, but we've never tasted food that seemed so "alive." The owner mentioned they source their spices directly from India, and it shows. As vegans, my hubby and I really appreciated the staff's deep understanding of our diet--they didn't just point to the vegetarian menu. The Traditional Masala Dosa was perfectly crisp, non-greasy, and served with flavorful sambar and delicious dipping sauces. We also loved the Veg Jalfrezi (ordered without onion/garlic); it was creamy and vibrant with a kick even at a "mild" spice level. Easily the best Indian food we've had in the US. We have a neighbor to thank for trying this place and we will now be regulars! read more

After seeing a movie, my mom and I discovered this restaurant and decided to give it a try. My mom asked if they could make Lamb Palak even though it was not on the menu and they happily accommodated her. Additionally, I ordered the Lamb Korma. We both ordered Mango Lassi. We LOVED the Lamb Palak. It was the best we tasted in 15 years. This should definitely be added to the menu. The Korma was delicious also and would order again. My only critique is that better quality napkins be provided and hire another person to help with service as the wait was a little long. Despite this, it was worth it and would definitely come back again. read more

What a treat! We came in without much expectation and was so pleasantly surprised by an unusual and extensive menu. Took over 10 mins to decide what to order and the food was absolutely amazing. The service was also great, they took time to explain what each dish were, and so polite and gentle in the manner of serving. I can't wait to come back to try some other stuff on their menu. I had a tomato onion chilli fermented lentil pancake and it tasted so delicious. I also really enjoyed their samosa chaat. Yum!!! read more

Had dinner with friends. The quantities are very less and the Nan pieces are too small. Palak paneer is very diluted liquid - like a soup. I never had like this in any restaurant. The veg Jaipuri is very tasteful and had flavors. Service is good. read more

Pathetic. I usually don't put reviews unless I have extreme experience either good or bad and this one was miserable beyond words....I dont want to even remember this place ever in my memories let alone recommending it to anyone. Highly judgmental folks., unpleasant server, zero value for money and on top of everything horrible customer service. We kept asking for napkins for kids but they paid a heed to our requests. Ordered fish curry for $23 to get potatoes mix in it... seriously!!! Chole bhature was served in kids plate with literally 4spoons of Chole on sides... good luck to these guys if they could survive San Diego market!!! read more

Lamos gave excellent service and the jahtpatha dosa was phenomenal! Excellent hot and sour soup Chinese/indian style delicous flavor. Best Indian in town, clean and healthy food. read more

Sankalp - The Taste of India - 3 piece Barrel Dosa, Szechwan dosa and Dahi sev puri and a yummy cup of Rasam (soup) - Indian Near Me - Carlsbad, California

We visited Sankalp for dinner after a long day at Legoland and had a great experience. The food was really good--we tried idly, veg jalfrezi, paneer handi, aloo paratha, and onion kulcha, and everything tasted delicious. The kids especially enjoyed the food. The ambience was nice and comfortable, and the service was excellent. The staff were very attentive and made sure we were well taken care of. Would definitely recommend this place. read more

Outstanding preparation and presentation. The best Indian food including dozens of vegetarian options. Highly recommended

Wifey recognized this new restaurant in Carlsbad close to Legoland. Sankalp is a major Indian chain most well known for its South Jndian cuisine. It doesn't disappoint, crispy crunchy dosa with masala potato filling, legit Mumbai vada pav with methi masala, sumptuous chole bhature, and paneer pakoras that are kid approved. Mango lassi actually made with yogurt so you know this is authentic Indian food. Service is prompt but be aware dosa takes time to prepare. Will return again! read more

Soooo bomb! Great service everything was excellent I will definitely be back! Awesome service too. Food was super HOT and DELICIOUS!

Very expansive menu. Service was excellent as was the chicken masala and specially made chicken with coconut milk (without onions as my wife was allergic. They made sure we knew it was in first dish. Cheesy naan was great way to enjoy all the sauce. Great spot, highly recommend read more

I found this restaurant accidentally, when I was tired from shopping all day. What are delightful surprise. Although I had a hard time understanding the menu, the server was very friendly and helpful suggesting a dish. The food was absolutely fantastic and the service was exceptional! The ambience is pleasant and quiet read more

We came in for the lunch special which is only takeout, which is fine because there is some public seating in the mall that we could sit at. When the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink we said water and he rudely said water is right there and pointed at it. But we meant that we wanted water to go so that we could eat it with our takeout food. He didn't ask how spicy we wanted our food. We asked for medium spice and it tasted like a 2/10 spice level. The food was way too salty which made it one of the worst tasting Indian food places I've been to. read more

Hands down best dosas in San Diego County!!! Sankalp in Carlsbad is an absolute gem for authentic South Indian flavors! Tonight's dinner was nothing short of amazing. We tried the Chili & Cheese Dosa and the Gunpowder Dosa, and both were phenomenal--crispy, perfectly spiced, and packed with flavor. The gunpowder masala added that extra punch we were hoping for! Our little one enjoyed the Dal Makhani with Naan, and it was creamy, rich, and comforting--perfect for kids and adults alike. To finish off, we had the Malai Kulfi, which was the perfect sweet ending--smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness. The service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance was warm and inviting. Portions were generous, and everything tasted fresh and authentic. If you're looking for a place that nails South Indian classics while offering variety, Sankalp is the spot. Highly recommend for families and anyone craving real Indian flavors! Pro tip: Located inside the Shoppes at Carlsbad, so parking is easy. read more

It's so nice to have an Indian restaurant at the mall now! We've ate here twice and both times they had great food, kind staff, and no wait. We typically grab dinner before seeing a movie, and the staff was accommodating when we said we needed the check as soon as the food came out. They have a good selection of food so everyone in our party was able to find something they liked, and it was all easy to share. The water pitcher they give you to share is pretty small if you have a larger party and we kept running out, but the staff was quick to bring us more when we asked. My friends and I definitely plan to get dinner here again. read more

Stopped by this place while we were in Carlsbad since it seemed new, with a good rating. We ordered the bhelpuri which was delicious, followed by the Masala Dosa, which was good too. However, the Coconut chutney (provided with the Dosa) was rancid, and we returned it promptly. But no acknowledgement from the serving staff and casually the transaction was closed without any mention of what went wrong with the chutney. The restaurant needs to up its customer service big time and monitor the food quality closely. read more
