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

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

Really enjoyed their $18 lunch buffet! My faves are the chicken tandoori, garlic naan that I drown in classic chicken tikka masala and gulab jamun that I dip in rice pudding! soooo yummy! We will definitely return to try their dinner menu. Food served piping hot, refillable soda and friendly servers. Can't beat this lunch deal! 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

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

Tatva Indian Fine Dining - Chilli pakora(mirchi bajji) - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

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

Tatva Indian Fine Dining - Lunch buffet ready to go. - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

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

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

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

Tatva Indian Fine Dining - Here is my plate of samosas, various curry dishes, salad and lamb curry. - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

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

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

We recently tried this Indian restaurant and really enjoyed the experience. The service was excellent; the process from seating to paying the bill was great: attentive without being too attentive. The food was outstanding. We have been looking for a place near us to eat good Indian food with easy parking. Tatva met that criteria. Finally, the ambiance was nice and not too loud; we were able to hear each other across the table. I would highly recommend eating here. read more

We came in on a Sunday for their lunch buffet. The food was all fresh and delicious everything was made fresh and you can tell. All of the food was well made and the naan and lasso were amazing!

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

Eight of went for the first time to Tatva. The food from starter to desserts was excellent with all unique and distinct tastes of both vegetarian as well as chicken dishes.

Oh my the favors!! It has been a while since an Indian restaurant outside of London or NyC has impressed me and this blew us away. The flavors are so on point and superior to any Indian restaurant in the area (and I'm picky about Indian food) Loved everything we ordered. I hope this place sti is around and the chef remains the same. Amazing!!! read more

Absolutely horrible experience from start to finish. I received the wrong food order, and instead of taking accountability, this place completely brushed it off. No apology, no credit, no attempt to fix their mistake--just excuses. Customer service was rude, dismissive, and unprofessional, as if I was inconveniencing them by asking for the order I actually paid for. Mistakes happen, but how you handle them matters--and they handled this as poorly as possible. I paid for food I didn't order, didn't want, and couldn't even eat, and they still refused to make it right. That tells you everything you need to know about how much they value their customers. Save yourself the frustration and take your money somewhere that actually respects the people keeping them in business. read more

Great Indian food, not super bland and has good spice control. A good diverse menu for any diet and amazing service. Servers spoke many language to my friends and I, including Russian and many Indian dialects. I loved the contemporary ambiance of the restaurant. A nice change of pace for Indian cuisine. Heavily recommend the lamb chops, they are meaty, thick, and juicy. read more

This was my first time trying Indian food, and I was blown away! The menu had so many amazing options, and every flavor was perfectly balanced.

I can't wait to come back and try more! Service was great as well!! This place has a nice vibe and they make you feel at welcomed. Great ambiance! read more

Tatva Indian Fine Dining - Chicken masala - Indian Near Me - Anaheim, California

Absolutely not. We have been coming here for years since it was the previous restaurant. It was good, reasonably priced, and close to home. I picked up food tonight that my wife called in and when told the amount, I had to ask for an itemized receipt. They are charging $6 for a single naan. The total check was $60 for 2 curries and 2 naans. That is highway robbery. I have paid less for Indian food in downtown LA or New York. Save your money and look elsewhere. Ever since the rebrand to "fine dining", it is absolutely not worth coming here. read more

it's been a while since I've been here, but my experience every time has been extremely pleasant. It's been so long that the place is revamped, and the inside is very pretty! there's nice light music that isn't super loud, the ambience is dark and cozy, and the general vibe is very neat. I personally fried the rice that came with the chicken tikka masala because i was craving it, and added onions. each place is different, and I will say that the meat here is a little sweet from the tomato sauce, and I prefer a savory taste, but I still really love it. you're quickly greeted and seated or provided with a menu, depending if you want to dine in or takeout, and the wait time is pretty normal depending on what you get! read more

Stellar restaurant with an elevated/refined vibe. Think dim lighting, intentional plating, attention to every detail. We had the butter chicken, the Goan fish curry, and the egg korma. All were delicious. Portions were solid size, and I am looking forward to eating the leftovers for lunch in a moment (hence writing the review now). Special shoutout to server Dio, whose attention to detail and overall vibe took our experience to the next level. 10/10, no notes. We will be back! read more

Dining here felt like a nostalgic trip to India. The food is simply excellent, each dish carries the authentic taste and quality you would find in fine dining restaurants back home.

We had a large scale, 3 day event requiring lunch and dinner. Our organization recently discovered Tatva and after enjoying the restaurant and food, we decided to use them for our catering needs. The restaurant and delivery team provided excellent communication throughout the weekend and was prompt with every delivery. This helped us out tremendously so that our team could focus on the event and not have an added stress regarding food. Our menu was set in advance and we requested boxed meals to hand out at each meal. Every box came with a good quantity of food. Each and every item was flavorful, tasty, and satisfying! Overall, having Tatva provide meals for our catering needs was a great experience and I would highly recommend their restaurant and catering! read more

Update to my previous review and response from the owner. We did get the remaining food about 25 minutes later. The owner came to us himself, apologized and offered 25% off the bill, which was nice and not at all needed. The food itself was fine though I can't say I had the best experience overall, maybe if I'm around the area, I'd give it another shot. It's hard to say how I actually liked the food after almost 90 minutes of sitting at the table so I'll just update the review to highlight the positive response to the issue. read more
