Lunch specials
Gina R.

The food here is always fresh and amazing. Most dishes you can change the spice level and they have plenty to choose from. The service was great and they were very friendly with multiple people checking on us. We sat outside in the patio which is pretty big. We got chicken kadhai, lamb kadhai, butter chicken, and one of the chicken lunch specials along with garlic naan.

Malai Kofta

Great service! Very quick. Mango pudding and malai kofta were very good. Ambiance and service were excellent!.

Garlic Naan
Rosanna W.

Great food! So fresh, so tasty. Service is super friendly. I came in rather late, and everyone was so accommodating. I ordered a mango lassi, garlic naan, butter chicken, saag paneer, samosas, and lentil soup! Love it!

Clean Plate Club!

Clean plate club. This place is the best Indian food in OC. Give it a try!! Super friendly staff too!

Came into town after a long drive, door dashed this to our hotel, and this place really hit the spot! Delicious flavors--we ordered our usuals: tikka masala, garlic naan, and rice. Everything arrived hot, flavors were on point, portions were generous! This was the best naan I have had in a very long time. Our choices for Indian food haven't been great in the recent past. If we lived closer we'd eat here more often! Everything was packaged so well! Highly recommend!

I love this place so much, their consistency for both takeout and dine in is amazing! My go to order is the chicken vindaloo extra spicy with mango lassi, and the garlic naan :) Service is great, and the ambiance is great

Always enjoy a good Indian meal. Ordered the (mild)vegetable korma-lots of good veggies with a cashew nut cream sauce. Very yum with plenty of leftovers. Vegetable briyani also had a hefty portion of veggies with a bit more kick(medium spice). Lots of leftovers. Garlic naan was great. I added salt to both dishes and naan and it really enhanced the flavors. Great meal. Good service. Plenty of seating inside and out. Very reasonably priced.

First time going to Sattava. Was craving for Indian food and it did not disappoint. Curry's, Naan, and Rice were all very good. What surprised me was the beer. That was very light and refreshing. Server came outside multiple times to check on us and turned on the outside heater since it was getting chilly. I couldn't decide what to order so I pointed at the pictures on their displayed poster boards. I found that very helpful. Will definitely come back. Naan was so good we ordered more.

Surprisingly, this place has stepped up in the last few months. They do have some sort of hotpot…read moreoption going on, but the bigger improvement was the selection of food. Yes, the price has gone up as a result, but they have way more options on par with more expensive places. On the weekend/dinner, they now have a chilled seafood section with items that aren't covered in any type of sauce including, but not limited to; raw oysters, crab legs, abalone, crawfish. They still have their steamed dungeness crab, fried crab, and craw fish boils. I don't think these updates have caught on yet because those premium items aren't attacked like donuts at a police department. At most buffets, you see people walking away with stacked plates with none left for you when you're third in line. This place usually keeps a steady supply. The only thing that sucks is the single serve ice cream. I know it's more sanitary, but soft serve and scooped ice cream would really put that place in the next tier up for Asian buffets.

The food is all okay at best with the fresh fruit actually being tasty and refreshing, although it could be chilled a little more. The meats are actually not bad either, a little chewy but if you don't mind that then you'll be fine. I didn't try the seafood or sushi myself but I was told by members of my party that the those are also okay at best but most of the food was bland. The servers are all very friendly and don't seem to forget about clearing plates or taking drink orders which I did really appreciate so I hope they never change that and thank you for providing great service. The ambiance is decent as well. Clean with a nice mural of the Great Wall in the back where larger parties are sat. The bathroom doors also have cool murals on them of a samurai for men and a lovely painting of a woman at a temple.

Since this is an all-you-can-eat restaurant, I initially expected someone to seat me, but I was simply told to find any available table and start eating. That was perfectly fine with me. The food selection included several salads, meats, and other dishes, but unfortunately, nothing really stood out. Overall, I found the food fairly average. The main reason for my two-star rating, however, was what happened when I paid. My bill was around $36.50. I paid cash with one $20 bill and four $5 bills, for a total of $40, and told the cashier to keep the change. What made me uncomfortable was that almost immediately after I handed her the money--while she was still saying "Have a good day"--she pulled out a counterfeit-detection pen and started checking my bills right in front of me. I understand that businesses may have policies for checking cash, and I have no problem with a restaurant protecting itself against counterfeit money. However, the way this was handled felt unnecessarily uncomfortable and somewhat insulting. She could easily have waited until I had stepped away before checking the bills instead of immediately testing them in front of me as soon as I handed them over. I was not rushing out of the restaurant or behaving suspiciously in any way. Of course, I have never knowingly used counterfeit money. The whole interaction simply left me feeling as though I was being treated with suspicion for no apparent reason. If checking cash is standard procedure, I can understand that. But customer service also matters, and there are more discreet ways to handle it without making a paying customer feel accused or embarrassed. Between the average food and this unpleasant experience at checkout, I can only give this restaurant two stars.

After the meal they charged us $23 per person for 4 people. 2 adults, a 9 year old and a 11 year old. They said that the kids price is under 8 so they charged all of us as adults. If they had charged our kids the kids price I honestly could have been a repeat customer here but this quickly became a very expensive meal for the amount of food we ate: $115 total for a family of 4 and no leftovers to take home. One of the more expensive dinners I paid for this year for the amount of food our family ate. Wouldn't recommend this place for anyone with kids but if you are a hungry adult then it may be worth it I guess. Not the best affordability in this economy.

Disclaimer: Had I not been part of a large gathering that was coming here, I doubt I ever would have come to this buffet. Pros: They had the World Cup playing on a "2017 New" 36ish inch TV with the tags still on it The food was mostly hot The cream cheese wontons were delicious, creamy, and crispy Cons: I tried like 11 items, and only the cream cheese wontons were hittin'. Out of the 11 items I tried, only 3-4 items were passable as decent The food was salty The black pepper chicken tasted like fish The food ended up giving my bubble guts the bubble guts-SHEESH! While there were loads of offerings, which I appreciate, the organization of said offerings were a bit strange. The hibachi was set-up going left to right, while the food stations on either side of it were going right to left, creating this crazy clash of people heading in opposite directions. It just wasn't for me.
