    It's always good to change your plan last minute! Visiting your favourite chef's restaurant is always bang on! The yellow chilli Tustin was amazing! We did the last slot booking ,but we were welcomed whole heartedly ,the owner was amazing... She herself came & offered chai ...which was so good! We are vegetarians ,everything we ordered was yummmm The veg platter Samosas Dal makhni Sanjeev Kapoor's signature sham savera Naan basket Everything was superrrrr Ambiance full marks Highly recommend guys if you are in that area! Specially commuting San Diego to LA or in LA suburbs Will go back again

    Food is average. Service is horrendous. We struggled to get lunch in 1.5 hours we had allotted. Restaurant was less than half full on a Friday around 1. Servers will acknowledge your questions but not follow through. Ambiance was nice. Pricing was average/high. We will not be coming back.

    Excellent! It's hard to find a really good Indian restaurant with an expansive menu, full bar, elevated interior, plus knowledgeable staff in my area, so being in CA, I was happy to find this place. We had the butter chicken, and my friend had an onion-based chicken curry (can't pronounce the name!). Both dishes were delicious and recommended by who I think was the owner. We paired them with garlic and chili naan. We sat at the bar and watched him expertly make amazing-looking drinks effortlessly.

    Clearly we have over ordered just to take home the left overs. Hahah this place it that good

    Peshwari naan from the bread basket - Naan flecked with fragrant fennel, black sesame and pistachios.

    Went again but this time got here early enough for happy hour! The cream cheese naan is so good and paired well with the chili paneer. I also tried a new drink this time with Kiran's recommendation and she was spot on...the IST was delicious! Thank you for the rec!

    I recently dined at The Yellow Chilli Tustin that's located at The District with my coworkers and had a decent experience. The restaurant is located in a shopping center with a dedicated parking lot, so finding parking was convenient and easy. Inside, the décor has a modern and upscale feel with warm lighting, stylish Indian furnishings, and a comfortable dining area that gives the restaurant a classy yet welcoming atmosphere. The staff was nice. There were signs that state wait here to be seated. It took about 5 minutes before anyone came to ask us how many people were expected to dine here. Let me give a bit of info as when I arrived the large dining area was barely full but the staff didn't make any eye contact with me until they were ready to ask how many people were in my group. I thought that was odd. Usually I get the greeting and the response "we will be with you shorty". Here , there wasn't any acknowledgement. Upon finslly getting a table, we got our waite and he gave us a few menus to browse. Wihin minutes he came back and asked what we wanted to eat. Given that they have such a large and wide menu selection I didn't get a chance to look al the full menu and we told him to come back to take our order. By the time we were ready to put in our order, I waved at our waiter to come by and he nodded. But hten it took 10 minutes for him to physically take our order down as he was busy walking around other tables and refilling their waters. Anyways, as this was my first time here I just let it go. We ordered the Paneer Tikka Masala, Bread Basket (mixture of garlic naan which was delicious, lachcha paratha, and preshawari naan don't remember which one was sweet and filled with nuts but it was quite tasty), the Kachcha Kele Ki Shaami which is a vegan melt in the mouth raw banana mixture patty which was surprising tasty and spicy at the same time, and the Puran Singh da Tariwala Murgh which ic chicken curry from North India. My vegetarian coworker ordered the Spring Vegetabe Kofta which is cottage cheese potato vegetable dumplings on a bed of luscious cashew gravy. This is now my favorite and go to dishese for future visits. Who knew that cashew gravy was so light and creamy and filling at the same time. Our dishes took awhile to come out but it just made us hungrier and hungrier. We were able to finish all dishes and go home happy. Pricing for appetizers and mains are much higher than other Indian restaurant, but I do see the quality of their dishes. I do highly recommend this place for elevated Indian cuisine with and their beautiful indoor dining environment is a good place for meals and special occasions. Just have to be ready to wait a bit for your entrees to come and sit down and pay a bit extra for tasiter foods. Next time I'll come during Happy Hour for their new deals.

    The service was awesome, the ambiance beautiful and clean, and the food was so delicious!! I highly recommend. I ordered the paneer curry with garlic naan. I had some leftover and continued eating again and it was just as good as when I ordered! I will be back!

    My parents had been wanting to try this spot for a while since it's a Sanjeev Kapoor restaurant, so we finally made the trip -- and overall, it was a solid experience. The interior is modern and inviting, and our server was great, offering plenty of recommendations. We also came with a baby, and the staff were incredibly accommodating. He was running around the restaurant and no one seemed bothered, which we really appreciated. We ordered a mix of items: garlic naan, bread basket, methi chaman with paneer, fish tikka masala, and the lazeez murgh tikka masala. The food came out fresh and hot. The standouts were definitely the fish tikka masala and the methi chaman -- both were excellent and packed with flavor. Fair warning: the dishes are quite rich and heavy, so even with family-style sharing the meal felt very filling. The lazeez murgh tikka masala was just average in comparison to the other dishes. I also got a mango lassi, which was delicious. And since it was my birthday, they surprised me with a complimentary dessert -- a really thoughtful touch. Overall, I'd give this a 4-star experience. Great service, flavorful food (especially the paneer and fish dishes), though the chicken was fairly standard and the prices were a bit higher than expected for a restaurant that's not quite fine dining.

    Absolutely Amazing Experience! The food was delicious, the ambience was perfect for a date night or outing with family! The playoffs were going on and they put the game on for us. Service was outstanding and we got great recommendations on what to try.

    It had been about a year since my girlfriend and I last visited this Indian restaurant, and we decided to return to celebrate our anniversary. We arrived around 4:30, not realizing dinner service didn't begin until 5:30. No problem--there are plenty of things to do in the plaza, so we wandered until heading back at 5:45. We were the first guests seated, and our waitress was lovely--warm, attentive, and welcoming. For drinks and appetizers, we ordered a mango lassi, crispy cauliflower, and samosas. The lassi came out first--cold, refreshing, and just the right balance of sweetness and tang. Definitely one of the better ones I've had. The samosas arrived soon after, piping hot with a perfectly crisp shell. The mint chutney they came with was vibrant and flavorful, but they were just as enjoyable on their own. About 10 minutes later, the crispy cauliflower arrived, and this quickly became the star appetizer for me. It had the perfect spice kick, was evenly coated, and is something I'd happily order every visit. For mains, we went with butter chicken, saag lamb, two garlic naan, and plain basmati rice. Everything came out about 10 minutes after the cauliflower. The butter chicken was good, though not my favorite; it leaned heavily on tomato flavor when I was hoping for something creamier and richer. The saag lamb, however, was excellent--tender, flavorful, and well-balanced. The garlic naan was buttery, fragrant, and exactly what I wanted. The rice was well-cooked and fluffy, though at $6 for a plain serving, I thought it was pricey. Still, my girlfriend prefers rice while I lean toward naan, so we made it work. Overall, this place delivers high-quality Indian food with great service, but it's definitely on the more expensive side, especially given the smaller portion sizes. For us, it's a spot we'll keep in rotation, but more of a "once in a while" place rather than a regular go-to.

    Best lamb chop ever! My brother absolutely does not like lamb or goat. This restaurant is very nice it reminded me of a restaurant I ate at last year in New Delhi India. The decor is very nice. I came here after the gym so I worked up an appetite ordered a good amount of food and it is all delicious. Absolutely try the lamb chops. Friendly staff great food you have to try it and I got everything lowest spice I suggest you do the same it is hot. Staff is very friendly

    Visited here on a Saturday night and there was no wait. Chai martini: 9/10, much better than I was expecting! didn't taste the vodka much which I prefer Amritsar machchi: 9/10, has a nice crisp to it! Masala papad: 5/10, the toppings made the papad soggy Lamb Rogan Josh: 10/10, my favorite dish here Butter chicken: 7/10 Naan: 9/10 The menu is very extensive so I'd come back to try more dishes!

    Rice with veggies

    What a perfect way to end the week! Every dish was packed with flavor! My favorite was the Chilean sea bass. It was so moist! A pinch of lemon juice and green sauce made the dish HARMONIOUS! My friends and I went to town with dipping the garlic and chili naan in the curries. They didn't skimp on the alcohol. I'd say the drinks are very strong, but didn't overpower the flavor of the drinks. Great service and very personable! Our waitress complimented us and asked if us if we were celebrating anything. We just wanted to dress up. :) She mentioned there's happy hour Monday through Thursday between 5-7, appetizers for only $9! Ambiance -- Indian decor decked throughout the inside of the restaurant. My friends and I sat on the outside patio which was really nice for dinner. There was a nice breeze. There were tiny birds that came close to us, asking for some naan. lol

The crunch of the samosa with the filling inside dipped with green chutney was the right flavor. Beef biryani - when I saw this dish swinging by before the people started linning up, it looked super promising. But by the time it was my number in line, it was mostly yellow rice leftover. People must have pulled all the meat. Very disappointing. Beef nihari - this has little to no flavor that you would expect from this dish. Chicken Tikka masala - this was better and had a good taste. Channa - it was a mix of chaat and a cholay salan and failed to stick out on either. Malai chicken - it was okay. Overall the experience was better. Still getting fresh naan to the table. But food taste is still mediocre. The chai was also not right. Needed more milk.

I used to go to the OG one in NYC when i was getting punched in the throat there too. (PUNCHED IN THE THROAT BY ACADEMIA, FIGURATIVELY, y'all haver crazy imaginations outthere). BUT it;s the people... It's always the people... The staff. My siblings in falafel... it was 10 PM. You could feel the collective energy of "we have been serving drunk people since sunset and you are the 437th group tonight explaining your breakup story while pointing at the menu." Not judging, just warmth and the quiet aura of people who have seen things. Who have witnessed humanity at its lowest point: ordering extra hot sauce and then immediately regretting it. JC looked in my soul and I think he understood,,, everything. AND JESS! (my fairy wielding a spoon scooping the heavenly meat and talking to me like a therapist??) And they fed us. Efficiently. Respectfully. Would I return? hell ya i would. only to see if Jess and JC remembers me. JK the food is always reliable. y'all stay away from the hot saucres,

    Overall (1/5) This was easily my worst Halal Guys experience…read moreand honestly left me really disappointed. I came craving something familiar and left feeling like I wasted both time and money. First Impressions (1/5) When I walked in, there was only one person working, handling the fryer, the register, and assembling plates. I genuinely felt bad for her, especially considering the steady line forming. What We Got (2/5) I ordered a regular plate, which is what I usually get at Halal Guys. Nothing customized or complicated, just the standard order I have had many times before at other locations. Taste and Quality (0/5) The food was shockingly bad. The rice was raw and crunchy, which was hard to believe at first. The meat pieces were tiny and very chewy, and the pita bread was extremely soggy. On top of that, it was only around 4 pm and the usual spinning meat and grill were not even on, despite the line picking up. Service (2/5) The worker was clearly trying her best, but one person running everything in a busy location is not realistic. She was constantly running back and forth between the fryer and the line, which made the whole operation feel chaotic and slow. Space and Atmosphere (3/5) The space itself was fine and what you would expect from Halal Guys. Clean enough, but nothing stood out positively enough to offset the food experience. Was It Worth It (0/5) Not at all. As someone who is pretty frugal and almost always finishes their meals, I could not finish this plate. It genuinely felt like a waste of $18. Final Thoughts This location does not seem to be held to the same standards as other Halal Guys in the area. This experience was disappointing from start to finish.
