    Got more veggies instead of fish
    Inderjit S.

    Spend $180 on food and got garbage food. Worst Customer service they have. They don't how to talk. We called back and tell them about their food and lady over the phone said we have baabe di kirpa and she never apologized.

    Today in Fontana, I had an insurance appointment with the client we met at spice jar For lunch we had the buffet style. My partner is non vegetarian so he had Goat curry & chicken Tikka Masala Garlic Naan & rice I had veggie chorma and my favorite thing for dessert the jalebi. Check them out this is also part of an Indian store where you can get many ingredients to prepare the dishes yourself also.

    Got treated by my friend to a lunch buffet here. First time to try this Indian cuisine here. I love how each dish were flavorful and rich in spices but not too spicy like I have imagined. Buffet included basmati rice Veggie Hakka noodles Veggie Korma Yellow Daal Chicken curry Chicken Tandoori Chicken tikka Masala Green salad Tamarind Chutney Yogurt Self serve Tea cart Garlic naan bread served at the table We ordered the Mango Lassi drinks. Lunch buffet $15.99 / person Since my friend paid for lunch I don't have an Idea how much the mango lassi drink costs. After lunch we went next door and checked out the grocery. All kinds of spices, teas , lentils, jarred chutney and variety of products and ingredients to use for making Indian Cuisine. They have hand made crafts like beaded bracelets thread for sale too. They have Indian Sweets ready for you to indulge with pleasure.

    They closed half an hour early and refused to do anymore orders. Very frustrating. Don't know if I'd go back. Not to mention they have cleanliness violations on their health inspections so perhaps it was for the best that I was not served. Luckily Kissan Indian Cuisine was not too far away and they're open until 11pm everyday. Much better Yelp rating and no cleanliness violations. For my full review of Kissan please check their Yelp page.

    This is really good Indian food. I ordered the chicken curry to go with a side of basmati rice and cheese naan. Everything was filled with flavor and enjoyable. The Gentleman who too my order was friendly but a little quiet. The food is not cheap but you get what you pay for. The chicken curry is enough for about 1 1/2 meals. The rice is enough for 2 meals. They give you two large pieces of naan so long story short I'll make 2 meals with this. Drop by and grab a bite. You won't regret it.

    So my wife had been bugging me for some time to take her to try some indian food. After checking on yelp, the best reviewed spot was Spice Jar. When we walked in the place was empty, but the dining room was large and clean. We both decided to go with their buffet dinner, although, there wasn't much to choose from. There were 4 meats, lentils, rice, and a salad. I'll admit to not being "thrilled" about trying it but I can't be scared to try different foods. More than anything it's the color of the food that kinda throws me off but there I went trying it. While the food wasn't bad by any means, it just simply didn't sit well with me. My wife who was looking forward to it way more was a bit disappointed as well. Again, the food wasn't bad but it left something to be desired. The gentleman who helped us was very friendly so customer service wasn't an issue.

    First time trying this place (Ordered thru Uber eats) and it's amazing! We ordered 2 orders of basmati rice with garlic naan , shrimp curry and chicken tika masala. Amazing! So flavorful and non greasy. I absolutely loved my food. The garlic naan is a must!!! I will be back ASAP!

    This place is amazing! They do not mess around with their portioning. The food is delicious,…read moreeverything is fresh. This place is seriously the best. They're super nice and helpful and inside is super clean.

    I've ordered from Naan Cafe several times before, and until today, I've never had an issue. I…read moreusually order the vegan Pilau rice, and it's always been one of my favorite dishes. This time was completely different. After a few bites, I tasted something so unpleasant that I immediately gagged and had to spit it out. The flavor was extremely strong and unpleasant... honestly, it reminded me of sweaty armpits. It was so bad that I couldn't continue eating it, and the entire container went to waste. Before leaving this review, I called the restaurant because I wanted to give them the opportunity to make it right. At first, I was told they had a new chef. Then I was told it tasted different because it was vegan. When I asked if he was saying the food tasted bad because it was vegan, he initially agreed before quickly backtracking and saying that's not what he meant. He then explained that it tasted different because they had a new chef and were using different ingredients and seasonings. I explained that I've ordered the vegan version multiple times before, so I know how it's was supposed to taste. In fact, this was my fourth time ordering it. The third time I ordered it, the rice had almost no flavor at all... it was basically plain white rice with the vegetables, nuts, and no seasoning. I let that experience go and decided to give them another chance. Unfortunately, this fourth order went in the complete opposite direction. Instead of being under-seasoned, the rice had such an unpleasant taste that I couldn't eat it. This wasn't just "different"... something was clearly off. Unfortunately, the customer service was just as disappointing as the food. No one offered to replace the dish, refund it, or even seemed concerned. I mostly received silence and was told they didn't know what to do. When I said I'd have to leave a review since nothing was being done, the response was simply, "Okay." I'm disappointed because I've supported this restaurant several times and expected much better. Every other item I ordered was good, but the rice was inedible, and the lack of customer service made the experience even worse. If you're a regular customer, especially if you order the vegan options, just be aware that the quality may not be as consistent as it used to be. With the restaurant mentioning they have a new chef, you never know who will be preparing your food or how it's going to taste. Hopefully your experience is better than mine, because I ended up with what I can only describe as "funky armpit" rice. I genuinely tried to resolve this directly with the restaurant before posting this review, but unfortunately, they gave me no reason to feel confident about ordering from them again.
