AMAZING LUNCH BUFFET I come here about every Friday because the deal is great. $20 bucks for all you can eat Indian food that gets me full for the whole day. Garlic nan and chicken tikka masala combo slaps. It's like an Indian pizza. I really don't know what else I get here by name but I just eat it and it's all good. The interior is also very well decorated and a great place to talk shop. read more

Tatva Indian Fine Dining - Buffet $18 - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

This wonderful Indian Gourmet Restaurant is a long drive for me and worth every mile driven! The previous reviews were the clue that this was going to be good, but I had no idea just how good. Each dish sampled had its own distinct color and flavor as if you were experiencing different regions on one long buffet table. Goat Curry, Chile Chicken, Fish Curry, and perfectly moist Tandoori Chicken-which typically is not moist at most Buffet tables, and several Vegetarian dishes complemented the gustatory experience. Garlic Naan was delightful as well. Greeted at the door by the most charming hostess was the atmosphere of hospitality and warmth. Very charming interior and lighting added ambience. I will be back! You will not be disappointed! read more

We decided to stop by this place for lunch on Monday. We were the first customers to visit. It is neatly tucked into the back of the plaza where there is the new Tesla showroom. There is plenty of free parking all around. Inside we were seated on one of the booths. They have a lunch buffet for $20/person. Right off the bat, I was hoping they would have a chicken biryani, but they did not. Here is a listing of all that was available: Plain rice, Vegetable Samosa, Veg. Pakoras, Dal Makhni, Navaratan Korma, Chana Masala, Egg Fried Rice, Kadi Pakora, Aloo Baingan Mirch, Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Chicken Tandoori, Chili Chicken, Gulab Jaman and Kheer for dessert. I tried a whole variety of items, but my biggest complaint would be all the food was cold. They had burners on the bottom, but it was not properly heated before transferring to the chafing dishes, so all of the food was not the right temperature. The quality of the food is highly affected because of this. I will rate the items based on taste. If they had been warm/hot, I believe they would have been rated higher. The only thing that was fresh was the naan. They brought this out to the table after you picked if you wanted garlic, chili, or plain. Dal Makhni - this was a good consistency and spice. I enjoyed it with the naan. Vegetable Samosa - the filling was okay, but a bit dry. I had to really use the chutneys to eat it. If this was more fresh/hot, I think it would be better. Chana Masala and Egg Fried rice were also average. There was a small kick to the rice, which was a good surprise. The chicken Tikka Masala was average. Again it was cold. The Chicken Tandoori was a little dry. I really liked the taste of the chili chicken, but it was cold so the outer layer became soggy. Overall we enjoyed a day out and not having to cook but I hope they can fix the problem with the food being cold. Not one item was hot. We might come back to try the dishes a la carte to get a better experience. read more

Biriyani was good. I ordered fish. To me it was a low quality fish . Drink I ordered was not good at all. This ruined the whole dining experience. It is one of their signature cocktails. Not good. It did not match the description they have for it. Basically I got mango juice with a splash of rum instead of the dragon fruit drink I ordered. It seemed like the bartender did not care. I did not drink it but I still paid for everything. There won't be a second time for me at this restaurant. read more

Went for lunch buffet around 2pm so I'll judge and review as a buffet rather than fine dining restaurant. The buffet had a good selection of typical desi dishes including: 1- fried items (samosas, pakoras) 2- curries (chicken tikka masala, goat curry) 3- chicken kabobs (seekh, tandoori) 4- vegetarian (daal/lentils, palak/spinach, chana/chickpeas, and mixed veggies) 5- desserts (gulab jamun, kheer/rice pudding) All the chicken and meat items were halal which was great so we could try everything in the whole buffet. All the items had decent flavor. I just wish I'd gone a little earlier in the day when the buffet items were probably more fresh but that's not their fault. The standout and best item we had was definitely the naan which was made fresh to order for us and it tasted great with every item we had from the buffet. Service was friendly and the restaurant was clean with a pleasant decor. Overall, I think this was pretty good value since the buffet was only $18 per person (you can't even get a sandwich or burger for that price now) so I'd recommend if you're looking for a nice Indian lunch meal with a wide selection of items without spending too much. read more

I've often remarked to friends the only thing missing from great Indian food joints is the ability to get as much of the entrees as one wishes without sacrificing quality. Any time I go to a classy Indian restaurant I can never get to the point of feeling full from the one or two dishes like goat curry that are amazing. But, on the contrary, when I try out a new Indian place that has an inexpensive lunch or dinner buffet, their entrees leave a lot to be desired. That's why I'm astonished Tatva not only brings it when it comes to their goat curry, their chicken tika, and other dishes, but it manages to do so beneath the umbrella of their $18 afternoon buffet offering from 11-3 every day they are open, they manager to put together a great offering of dishes that more than pays for itself within the first plate or two. I love their goat curry, even if it isn't as spicy as I would normally like. I know not everyone likes their curry as fiery as mine but I'm just glad the curry manages to be chunky and savory and just right. The chicken dishes too were quite succulent and flavorful. I think the service was really good. I love how everyone was on the ball as far as refills and answering questions about the restaurant. They took a but in picking up the check once I had placed my card inside, but that was the only blip in an otherwise fabulous lunch experience. Everyone was just a professional there. The ambiance was memorable too. It's not a huge location, but I never felt cramped or constrained. There were plenty of tables for their usual patronage I'm assuming, even for a weekend lunch shift. It felt very cosy and warm to be in there and I'm assuming everyone just digs the vibes overall because it very much lives up to its advertising as an Indian Fine Dining joint. I only wish I could get out there more often. If it was just a few miles closer, I guarantee this would be a weekly visit for me. read more

This place has an upscale vibe with chic decor. Came here for their lunch buffet and at 18$/person, it was a pretty good price! The staff is lovely and refilled our water in a timely manner. The food is great and they have a variety of dishes. The samosas and veggie fritters are a good starter, with sweet and tangy tamarind sauce to pair. I enjoyed their chicken tikka masala, veggie korma, palak panner, and tandoori chicken the most. You can never go wrong with gulab jamun for dessert, though I do wish they have mango pudding. Still a fantastic meal. Great experience overall! read more

We went for the weekend buffet. The food was great and had a good variety. I also ordered the mango lassi and it was excellent. Service was a bit slow despite not being a full house, but we still left feeling very full and happy! read more

What a nice and beautifully chic Indian restaurant. Enjoyed the happy hour menu with both veg and non options. Loved their lahsuni gobi, crispy on the outside and well cooked and soft on the inside. Paneer tacos were delicious, but a bit dry for me. Paneer kabob was good. Our server, Dio, was kind to give me a sample of the Mango cart beer to taste, which was very good. Good service, food, and ambiance. read more

Had the pleasure of trying this place recently. Came in on a Saturday afternoon and it was quiet at first but as soon as 1pm hit, the crowd rushed in! The good was great! From the vegetarian options to the chicken and rice, desserts and palette cleansers On the way out, this place is a hidden gem! Situated in the back corner parking lot of Imperial and La Palma to the right of the Tesla building. The decor was so lovely! We enjoyed the velvet green seats and light fixtures. The food was delicious! The tiki masala was my favorite along with the garlic Naan and rice pudding. Will definitely be back soon! read more

My hubby put me in charge of finding a caterer for an upcoming event. His coworkers exgf's current bf loves this place so i decided to check it out. Definitely reminds me of orange curry, but the lentils clukd use more water. Samosas are cute and tiny but a bit spicy. I wish there were more appetizers. Service is top notch!!! Very attentive, had my water filled several times. I generally hate korma but the veggie karma here is very delicious. Love the music!! Upbeat, but relaxing. One star off because the food is TOO thick for me. The naan was thick, the pulses were dry. I would have loved to go for seconds. read more

Everything was a burst of flavor. It had good service and amazing ambience. Kinjal was very nice.

We drove down from Riverside to try out this new restaurant for lunch. They opened up 6 months ago. This location used to be Masala Curry. They have lunch buffets for $18 from 11:30 am to 3pm, everyday except on Tuesday, because they are closed on that day. They serve menu items during dinner. The inside has changed from previous owner. Inside is a much cozier and fancier looking decor restaurant. They have a bar now that sells beer and wine. Lighting is dim and music is relaxing. It's a very chill vibe in here. We got greeted and seated right away. Service was good. There were two servers helping us. They kept cleaning up our dishes and refilling our water. There were about 3 other groups here. The buffet area was clean and food was fresh. The garlic naan was made to order so it was steaming hot but so good! Food choices during Sunday was pretty much your typical items that include chicken tikka masala, chicken korma, saag paneer, navratan korma, tandoori chicken, samosa, dal tadka, chana masala, kadhai paneer, gajar halwa, chicken biryani, and chicken sheet kabob. They only had rice pudding for dessert. I wished they had more dessert options. The total for 2 lunch buffets including tips was $49! We definitely would take a drive down here again for the buffet. read more

Stopped by for the buffet it was really really good. I eat at a lot of Indian restaurants and this one really was good. They have the buffet everyday of the week. You get to try all their dishes and they were all awesome! I tried a little of everything. They have Briani with bone-in chicken. It was perfect. The food was warm and everything looks new in the atmosphere is very nice. Everything looks clean too! The music was really nice also very upbeat but not too loud and calm. Another great thing is they don't have TVs. I noticed a lot of restaurants are putting in TVs and they're always playing when you're eating. It's so distracting but this place does not have them.. thank you. I can't complain about anything. Great lunch thank you very much! I will be coming back!. The service was great also. read more

This is a beautiful, intimate spot, and the buffet smelled amazing. In fairness, we just ordered a mango lassi to go because we were in a hurry, but we wanted SO BADLY to stay and eat. My wife and I visited last week on a rainy day just before lunch on our way to another appointment. (The lassi was excellent.) We used to come here often when it was Curry Out- and we lived close by- but this is the kind of restaurant I always wished it would be. We'll definitely be back. read more

It was honestly phenomenal. I love Indian food and I know there's a few places close to this one. It was so good especially if you order the 3 cheese naan garlic naan and chicken tiki masala. Local indians go there so u know it's good read more

Went in during lunch time and ate at the buffet. The service was great and the ambiance was also nice. Unfortunately, those were the only positive things I have to say. I got the rose lassi and it tasted like what sunscreen smells like. The water glasses had a weird smell to them. The samosas and paneer were undercooked and the majority of the food was cold. The naan was not very flavorful as well. Overall, I didn't have a great experience but maybe that's because I ate at the buffet instead or a la carte. read more

Started out with one of the best appetizers I have ever had the Kabab hi Kabob. The flavor was off the charts, good portions and everything was cooked perfectly. The service was equally impressive. This is an excellent place for fine dining. The entrée was equally as delicious. I had the Murg Kaali Mirchi. I couldn't leave without trying their amazing dessert, see my photo, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. read more

Best! Honestly we ordered different type of meat since we want to know the taste in each dishes and must say, we are pleased to choose this place! - The Bengali fish curry, 5star I like the curry and yes, the fish is fillet but! It's fresh and not fishy smell, the fragrant of it is just best! I ordered to make it spicy but it was not that spicy. And I have it for to go since the portion is quite big for me! The next day, also dinner time, I heat it and assure you it's still tasted best! - Lamb biryani, 5star Fragrant and it's totally different than other biryani that I had, the meat chunks were tender, juicy and once again! It's in a good portion! Pack the left overs as well and heat it up the next day, none changes! It's good as it is. - chicken tikka masala, 5star My kids love this and I agree with them, the chicken chunks were amazing and tender! My kids finish the butter naan with this dish, and as the other dish too, I packed the left over and it was still tasted good! We were served by Zach (hopefully I'm not wrong for the name) He was so attentive and kind. One thing though, it's a small romantic fine dining restaurant and it has a beautiful atmosphere and it's just felt so romantic, even with 3 hungry dinosaurs and insensitive husband..I feel the romance of this place! It's a date night type of place and bet the drink options are beautiful too, I didn't have any when we came since we plan to go somewhere after. Thank you! It's one of the beautiful restaurants that I've went to! The music is romantic, the belly is happy and these dinosaurs are calm too! Love it! read more

Tried a few things at Tarva and everything hit the spot. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, naan basket, the Kabab Hi Kabab small platter, and the murg malai boti. Every dish tasted fresh and high-quality -- rich flavors, tender meats, and the naan was perfect for scooping up all the sauces. The staff is friendly, and the interior design is very chic. Service was a bit on the slower side, but honestly the food is good enough that the wait feels justified. Overall, a great place when you want delicious, well-made Indian dishes in a stylish setting. I'll be back! read more

Good food , service and ambiance , will recommend this restaurant , butter chicken is excellent .

Just tried Tatva for the first time because we saw it on Uber Eats. Got the pani puri, butter chicken, and Palak Paneer. The food all tasted incredible! Fresh, high quality ingredients, and so yummy! Unfortunately our uber driver forgot to get the sauce for the Pani Puri, we called the restaurant and they immediately came to drop off big containers of the sauce for us so we could fully enjoy the meal. We don't usually write reviews, but after this incredible experience of customer service and food quality we definitely had to give props! We will absolutely be back! read more

Ordered chilli pakora, and it tasted absolutely incredible--perfectly balanced and full of flavor. Chef Govind and his staff were super kind and accommodating in making it with genuine care. We truly felt their passion for food in every detail of the preparation and it shows how much they value the experience of the person enjoying it. The ambiance is top notch and all the items we tried(Lasuni gobi, egg biryani) tastes great! I'll definitely come back to try more. read more

Really enjoyed our visit to Tatva. The mutton was exceptional -- tender, perfect -spiced, and full of flavor. Naans were thin and fresh, not bready, just how they should be. The gulab jamun nest dessert (can't recall the exact name) was totally unique and amazing, and a lovely way to finish the meal. What stood out just as much as the food was the hospitality -- warm, attentive, and genuine without being over the top. The ambiance was cool, modern upscale without being pretentious. Will definitely be back read more

Tatva replaced Masala Curry. They renovated and its much, much improved. The seating is far more attractive. The buffet area also looks good. The old setup was somewhat awkward. Most significantly, the food is also much better. Loved the chicken biryani and chicken sheesh. Tandoori chicken was excellent as well, and they offered goat curry too. The garlic naan was close to perfect. Far better tastes than the average Indian buffet, and I have been to so many. Affordable price. Would love if they offered the buffet all day. read more

First impression when walking in was this is a clean, well kept restaurant. Not overly decorated but just enough ambiance. Comfortable booths and seating. We were greeted upon entry. They were taking care of a big catering order before we arrived so we were informed the food would be about 5-10 minutes away from being set out. Perfectly fine with us since we were not in a rush. Went to the restroom in the meantime to wash my hands. Very clean restrooms. The food selection was decent for the price. It's about $18 for lunch, AYCE. I only was able to finish one plate. Everything was seasoned well and very flavorful. The goat curry and tiki masala are a must try. The potatoes were soft and addicting. The veggie samosas had a kick to them. All items had different levels of spice to them, but nothing overly spicy. We ordered chai teas which took a little bit to make along with the chai tea. They were both really fresh and worth the wait. The chai is unsweetened but came with sugar on the side. It was earthy yet tasty. I know it sounds weird to comment on the water but it was delicious. Very clean. All in all spent around $50 with drinks and lunch for two. Staff were friendly and attentive. Next time I'll make sure to wear loose fitting clothes. I can't wait to go back. read more

This Indian restaurant is such a gem and I'm so glad it's close to my house. We came here for a date night and had a wonderful experience from start to finish. The service was excellent. They have a great selection of draft beers, which was a pleasant surprise and paired nicely with the food. Prices are very reasonable for what feels like a fine-dining experience. A nice touch was the complimentary papadam with delicious sauces, which instantly reminded me of dining at Indian restaurants in London. The menu is very vegan-friendly.. We'll definitely be back--highly recommended! read more

The family was in the mood for some chaat and I was a little hesitant to get some from anywhere outside of Artesia because I've just never found good chaat in North OC. I looked up the menu and saw the Papdi Chaat and Samosa Cholay Chaat were $10 each which seemed pricey, but the craving was hitting so I went ahead and placed a pickup order. Wow, I'm so glad I came here. Both Chaat tasted amazing, were fresh, and the portions were fairly larger than I was expecting. Overall solid experience and glad we finally have some good Chaat in this area of OC! read more

I have visited Tatva a couple of times now, but we recently held a food tasting event here for an upcoming wedding, and the experience was truly outstanding. We selected a menu of 12 items, and the team's planning and organization were flawless. They were incredibly helpful in guiding us through the best combinations and possibilities for the event. Every single item was unique and left a lasting, delicious memory for all of us. The team was also exceptionally knowledgeable; they were able to answer every question we had and took the time to explain the preparation of each dish, from the appetizers all the way to the dessert. If you are looking for high-quality Indian cuisine paired with professional, attentive service, I highly recommend Tatva. read more

First time having dinner at Tatva, and it was even better than the lunch buffet! Nicest restaurant in the area! Everything I ate was on point!

My favorites were the fish curry, butter chicken, truffle naan (yes, you read that, truffle!) and all the desserts! Also, the mocktails and cocktails were phenomenal! I will be back very soon! read more
