Smokey Grill in Lodi is officially our new go to spot for incredible Tandoori BBQ food with amazing flavors. We've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and since their other location is closed in Sacramento on Tuesdays, we finally made the trip to Lodi and wow, it was absolutely worth it the wait and Abdul that helped us was cool. He had a good sense of humor. We were coming back from Monterey and all of us were hungry. We ordered quite a feast: (3) chicken tikka wraps without lettuce 8 piece chicken tikka 8 piece chicken malai 6 regular naans + 1 garlic naan Tandoori fish order Tandoori chicken pizza Chicken tikka masala rice plate Every single item was flavorful, mouth watering, and cooked perfectly. The chicken tikka and malai were tender and packed with flavor. The naans were soft and fresh, and the chicken tikka masala rice plate had that rich, comforting sauce that was creamy smooth you can't stop eating and dipping your naan into. The tandoori fish was a standout smoky, well seasoned, and tender. They give a lot of meat inside the wraps. The tandoori chicken pizza... let's just say we couldn't even wait to get home. We ate a slice in the car because the smell alone was too tempting. That's how good it was. We took everything to go, the quality was top tier! You can tell they care about their food and flavors and wanting their customers happy. Abdul kept letting us know the status of our order and took care of us with chutney and ranch. If you've been thinking about trying Smokey Grill, don't wait.... this place delivers on every level! Ask for Abdul, he is down to earth nice guy. 5 stars!! Thanks Abdul!!

Food was delicious, service was fast, [[HIGHLIGHT]]the place is a little run down and the floors/tables were sticky[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] but the food made up for it tenfold. We ordered a whole of food after a long hot day golfing and it didn't disappoint. We got a mixed kabob platter, rice, garlic naan, house salad, mozzarella sticks, loaded fries and samosa chaat. Everything was great except the mozzie sticks. They were reminencent of carnival food. Kids liked them though! Overall, I say if you're in the mood for some middle eastern grub, then this is the place for you read more

Chicken Kabob Plate Fire but Nan Is separate here so don't forget that ... good flavor =SaTisfied read more

The spicy chicken pizza is where it's at! It has all the flavor and the kick you need! Service is fast I'm always in and out!

Stopped by here on a Sunday with my husband and we felt like having kabobs so found this place on Yelp and were not disappointed. The kabobs are so juicy and tender, I don't like the plastic forks it takes away from the dining experience however I was impressed how easy I was able to cut into the chicken with a plastic fork. The tikka masala was good too. Amazing garlic naan. The gentleman working here were all very nice and accommodating. [[HIGHLIGHT]]It was clean and well kept restaurant too.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely come back here again! read more

Tried Smokey Grill today and loved the food. We got the full grill platter, garlic naan, plain naan and sesame seed naan. We also tried the goat karahi and chicken tikka masala. Grilled fish and beef seekh kabob were my favorite, the other chicken items were very good too. Will definitely be back soon. read more

This was the second time I've been here. The last time I had lamb kahari, which was delish. Tender and well seasoned, generous portion served over rice. Awesome if you want gravy. Tonight I had lamb chops and rice, it is not on the menu, but rather on a handwritten note to the right of the register. It was so freakin good. Lamb arm (bone w hole) tender, grilled and served over rice. (No gravy) hoo boy this was so good, every bite was amazing. The staff work hard and deliver tasty eats at good prices. read more

I've been here several times, both for take out and dining in. Always sooo delicious! My go to is always the chicken Tikka masala and chicken or paneer saag and garlic naan. read more

Wow! Forget the boring fast food options. This food is awesome! Great staff, great food. Great service. We'll be back soon.

Have done take out many times. Always fresh and delicious. Curries are oily but that's just the cuisine. I drain some oil from the top and enjoy them. Naans are fluffy. Bbq items are always succulent. read more

My husband is a quiet, sometimes shy man, but he could give a powerful, loud speech about how much he loves Smokey Grill's Smokey Chicken sandwich. He texted me on his lunch break the other day (while eating leftover salad) that he was thinking about that sandwich and was telling his co-worker about it. Our first time, we tried the mixed bbq tray, which also included grilled veggies and a few slices of cucumber and lime. The cool, refreshing mint and cilantro in their chutney went perfectly with all of the spice and smokiness. I am still thinking about their incredibly tender Chicken Malai and Tandoori Fish packed with flavor. The cashier was friendly and patient with us as we were new here and took a while to decide. Because of my husband's love of their Smokey Chicken sandwich, we returned the next night for another one. Our son said everything he's tried is a 10. His favorite is the BBQ chicken sandwich. We also tried the Tandoori Chicken Pizza last night, and I'm currently eating it cold for breakfast, with my coffee and coconut milk. After a few bites, I put my paper plate down and stared lovingly at the smokey chicken, olives, and peppers. The flavors are so perfect and balanced. Nothing is greasy. It doesn't make you feel sick and bloated like fast food. Their food put a spell on us. We must be careful and not spend our gas and grocery money on their food. I would wash their dishes to get free food. We are new to Lodi, and we love it here. Surrounded by wineries, the lake, and Smokey Grill! read more

My family and I decided to try them out for our Saturday night dinner. We traveled from Stockton and it was well worth it. We ordered the barbecue platter, veggie Biryani and plain rice. All the meat on the platter was absolutely delicious and each meat had its own distinct flavor and texture. Both rice options were very different and delicious. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The restaurant was pretty quaint so the eating area was pretty small.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]However, the big taste made us feel like we were in a huge fancy restaurant.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] This place is a hidden jewel in Lodi!!!!! read more

First time coming here and I'm so glad I did! I wish I would have taken photos. They had a chicken pulao special so I got that, butter chicken and garlic naan. Everything was delicious. I can't wait to come back and try other items and their pizzas. The owner was also very welcoming and kind, I'm so glad I found this place. read more

We traveled 30 minutes to try this place, and it definitely did not disappoint. We ordered the platter grill and substituted the beef kabob for Mali chicken, along with one garlic naan and a large order of fries. We were so impressed with the food -- the taste and texture were perfect. Nothing was burnt; everything was juicy and cooked just right. The flavors reminded us of home. It was absolutely delicious and well worth the drive. We did not get a picture as the food smelt amazing and everyone tucked in as soon as we got it on our table. also, we got Gulab jumun which was the amazing taste ever nice and warm. It would've had so good with ice cream. The customer service was also amazing. He understood exactly what we were looking for, and the entire experience was truly wonderful. Can't wait to come back again with friends and family. read more

I had tried a number of Indian food related items off this menu and not once have I been disappointed. I'm almost ready to try some of the other items they offer. Just to see if they're as good as the Indian items. I ordered the big plate of meats and we all loved the spice along with the a garlic Naan. It seems to get hotter the next day. If you like Indian food, you can't go wrong with this place. read more

5 stars I had the Chicken Biryani rice and sampled the Chicken Masala--both were absolutely delicious and packed with flavor! Smokey Grill is a great spot with amazing food, and I highly encourage others to give it a try. Let's support small businesses in our community--you won't be disappointed! read more

Was fine. Got it cause someone said the tandoori chicken was better or as good as India. lol. Chicken was dry lol. Kind of a joke to make dry chicken that's marinated in yogurt You guys have no skill or tastebuds ? read more

We were craving some Indian food and decided to try Smokey Grill. The weather has been crazy hot so we ordered out food to go so we could eta in our air conditioned house. We tried the samosas to start as well as the chicken tikka masala meal and the chicken karahi. We also ordered their regular and garlic naan. The heat on the chicken tikka was overwhelming in my opinion but you get used to it and the dish is actually very tasty. The karahi was not for me but I did try it and although I found it bitter and found the meat chewy,, my husband enjoyed it. The naan were both excellent and the samosa was good as well but the chutney that accompanied it was far too spicy so we ate it plain. I found the price to be a bit high for what we received. There was a lot of rice and the salad was just a piece of lettuce and a few raw veggies with no dressing whatsoever. There were also too many pieces of hard/chewy meat in my husband's dish. I would return to try their pizza or their burgers on another occasion and if we order Indian from this location again, we will opt only for the main dishes only and just cook some rice at home. read more

The best halal food ever. Never been disappointed. Everything they make is from fresh ingredients. Their grill is awesome. Being halal is icing on the cake. read more

Ok. I thought I had reviewed this place before. I would undoubtedly give 5 stars for the food. Everything we've tried so far has been excellent. I do lunch appointments with my customers on a regular basis and everyone that has tried it has agreed the food is delicious. The owner/workers are always accommodating and helped me create the perfect amount of food whether it's for 2 or 20. We normally order Chicken/Beef Kebabs or Mixed Platter, rice, garlic naan and Chicken Tikka Masala. Yesterday I wanted to try the wings cause I've never had them.. and they were yummy. We ordered the Buffalo and the Spicy. The only thing I wish is for them to open early enough if I'm picking up for an office that needs to have the food by 1130.. I'd order from them all the time if that was the case. But totally doesn't change my mind that this is a go-to when we have cravings for Kebabs and chicken tikka Masala. Next time we are planning to try the pizza read more

100% deliciousness and would return again, We had the lamb kahari and chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and kheer (milky rice pudding). Service was friendly. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was mid. a casual room with the tv on, not fancy.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The kahari is on the spicy side, flavorful and it really hit the spot with tender braised lamb and rice. Generous potions. Good pricing on delicious food. read more

This place is so addictive it makes you keep coming back for more. Very DELICIOUS food! Highly recommend. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]The inside is very clean and welcoming.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The food is the best part. All their food is amazing from the pizza to the burgers and the combo plates. The plates are very large plates with lots of food I always have left overs for the next day. And the best part is it halal. They have been there for lol my last minute gatherings and was able to fulfill my order on Christmas as well. My family and I will continue eating here read more

Smokey Grill - Half mixed grill plate! - Pizza Near Me - Lodi, California

The food was amazing some of the best I have had in the area. Service was fast and kind. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambience was calm and quiet.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Always a tasty delight when I get a dish from here, but I come here for the sauce and the rice is always on point.

The ground beef kabab was absolutely pathetic, but the tandoori chicken leg was the best I've ever had in the US. I've been to India well over a dozen times and this was as good as the highest quality tandoori chicken I've had in India. It was 100% cooked to order and not reheated as most other Indian restaurants do. It was so good that I'm overlooking the ground beef kabab train wreck. The mint chutney was incredible as well - creamy, spicy, just right. If I lived local, I'd be eating this every week. read more

Very friendly owner and accommodating of diet/fasting restrictions! The garbanzo curry was amazing and everyone enjoyed it. We will definitely be coming back and trying more dishes. Thank you again!! :) read more

Their lamb Kharahi is always my go to. Also, try any of their Indian pizzas. You can't go wrong Specially, if you like Indian-Pakistani flavor read more
