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.

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.

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.

Their Hyderabadi chicken dum biryani is incredible--loaded with aromatic spices, tender meat, and massive portions that give you amazing value. Beyond the rice dishes, their starters are top-tier; the Chicken 65 and crispy Chicken Majestic bring a serious, authentic spicy kick that hits the spot. If you want comfort food, their classic curries and garlic naan round out the table perfectly. Service is friendly and efficient, and parking in the plaza plaza lot is straightforward and easy. If you want heavy-handed, deeply spiced Indian comfort food with great portions, this place is a total winner.

I recently placed an order through Uber Eats during a "Buy One, Get One Free" promotion and chose to pick it up myself. When I arrived there, I realized that only one item had been included in my order. I immediately brought this to the staff's attention, but instead of trying to help, I was told that the promotion "didn't apply correctly" in the system. The problem is that I had already paid for the order, and the restaurant had received the payment. Even if there was an issue with Uber Eats, it would have taken very little effort and goodwill to honor the promotion and provide the second item that I reasonably expected to receive. Unfortunately, there was no attempt to resolve the situation, and no concern for a customer who has supported this business for many years. I left with an incomplete order.It's sad to end a relationship with a restaurant I've enjoyed for so long, but customer service matters, and this experience showed me that customer loyalty does not.

Something that I cannot make, something that I've tried, yet the establishment still finds a way to give me a different and enjoyable experience. Boneless Chicken and Beef Koobideh Combo: One of the most dangerous things to order, as both things can either come out as dry, or start off as great, then dry up before you can finish. None of those scenarios happened here. The chicken was soft, juicy, seasoned very well, and it stayed that way. The beef koobideh had this smoky flavor profile, which is different from what I normally expect, and I liked it. Potato Boloni: I've never had boloni in my life, and the closest comparison I have is a Chinese or Korean pancake. The boloni had areas of spiciness, and I think it had room to go higher. It's definitely an appetizer, and I won't mind having it again. Service: There were only 2-3 occupied tables when we went. I think the staff had plenty of time to take our orders, give us water, and the food arrived within a reasonable time. Ambiance: You could tell that the restaurant was designed to host wedding receptions or larger parties in mind. Stage, lights, and a bunch of stuff that may be overwhelming for some. I didn't mind. Good food is all that matters.
