I found this little gem driving on Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa. It is hidden in the corner of…read morethe parking lot and you may miss it if you blink. I was greeted with a smile and seated at a very nice table covered with a table cloth and minimal centerpiece. Cloth napkins are also a plus. Music was at comfortable level with enjoyable "meal" music. I walked in around 2 p.m. on a Tuesday, just in time for the lunch special. The options are a 1 dish combo or 2 dish combo. I chose the 2 dish: saag aloo and chicken vindaloo, medium spiciness for both. I also ordered a lassi, sweet. After my order was taken, it wasn't very long until my meal was served. Along with my dishes came a small salad and a bowl of rice. The portions were just right for the lunch. I have to say the dishes were very delicious. The potatoes in the saag aloo were perfectly cooked (not mushy) and the spinach with the spices are well balanced. It paired well with the garlic naan ($1 more for the garlic upgrade). I would say the same with the chicken vindaloo. The chicken was very tender and again the flavors balanced well with the naan and the rice. The texture for both "sauces" were also just right as I was able to scoop both using my naan a spoon. I ended with a small dessert, gulab jamun, to balance my meal. Again, not too sweet and flavors balanced out. In all, my food customer service experience at Andaaz was amazing and I will definitely make it a point to head back there the next time I am in Costa Mesa or just head to the area because the food is exceptional.

I was at the Pacific Air Show and came to this food truck. I was actually excited to see it because…read morethe food looked like a healthier option. What I found strange was that the prices had been wiped off the side of the truck. I asked about the chicken wrap, and the guy told me it was $20. At that price, I was expecting a pretty substantial wrap--maybe something closer to a loaded burrito. Unfortunately, the wrap was on the smaller side. It was packed with fresh chunks of chicken, which were surprisingly tender and not dry. It also had fresh greens and some kind of sauce that seemed to be mayo-based. Overall, the wrap itself was pretty good. That said, $20 for the size and what you get just doesn't seem justified. The food was decent, but the portion-to-price ratio was way off. And having the prices removed from the truck, followed by the $20 price left me feeling like the whole thing was a little shady... Good food, but not good enough to justify $20.

My meal came with fries and a drink. I will say my Coke Zero was quite flat and very sugary, could be something wrong with the soda machine that day. The fries were good and had a bit of paprika seasoning, but definitely lacked salt and needed a dipping sauce accompaniment. My friend ordered the falafel plate and they really pack it in there - huge volume of food. We ordered on a kiosk, so limited interactions with the staff. He did offer us a sample of their cacik and hummus. Both were delicious! He also really pushed me to take some bagged sauces (ketchup/mayo/mustard) with the fries - a good recommendation. The stall is one of many in the food hall. Lots of tables and other food options and it doesn't feel like they compete that much. Simple table decor and I believe you bus your own table here. The bar nearby serves drinks that you can take anywhere in the establishment.

The garlic naan was included with the lunch special at no extra charge, which almost never happens these days. And it was fresh, buttery, and so good. If you care more about incredible food and value than fancy decor, this spot is 100% worth checking out. We'll definitely be back!

Service is wonderful. This review is for a catering order…read more We ordered 20 butter chicken burritos (and they offered to turn the order into 40 mini burritos. Perfect!). The burritos individually wrapped and were the right size for the parents, though even at mild, the butter chicken was a little spicy to me. I asked about allergens, and the lady let me know that they were going nut free in a week and everything would no longer have nuts. The butter chicken does contain dairy in the form of queso. We also ordered a tray of the corn bhel (this was AMAZING) and mixed salad (in hindsight, probably not the best order for a bunch of four and five year olds). Both are dairy-free and nut-free. The food was delivered promptly to the venue exactly on time. I paid for the order via Zelle when I placed the order.

What did I just eat?…read more I'm genuinely confused after eating at Maast Indian in Irvine, because I don't know how something can look so promising on the outside and taste so disappointing on the inside. I was skeptical walking in, not gonna lie. The place wasn't exactly packed -- maybe three tables had people and there was one person waiting on an order -- but I figured hey, every new spot deserves a fair shot. The interior actually looks really nice. Clean, modern, good layout, good lighting... it feels like a place that should be delivering quality food. Then I ordered the Tandoori Chicken "Panini Sandwich". First of all... $15 for a sandwich like that is wild. And if you're going to charge $15, the food better be memorable in a good way. This was memorable in the worst way. The flavor was just off. The chicken didn't taste like tandoori should. It didn't have that smoky, spiced kick you expect -- it tasted bland and kind of weird, like the seasoning didn't know what it wanted to be. The whole sandwich felt thrown together, and the "panini" part didn't add anything except disappointment. And what really got me was the value. No fries. No chips. Nothing on the side. Just a sandwich. For $15. During lunch hours. That's crazy. For that same price, I can go to Curry Hut, Curry Time, or other grab-and-go Indian spots and get a full combo plate that actually fills you up and tastes like Indian food is supposed to taste. This wasn't even in the same league. This wasn't a "maybe I ordered the wrong thing" situation. This was a "how did this make it onto the menu" situation. I hate leaving negative reviews because I understand how hard it is to run a small business, and I'm not here to tear anyone down. But the food needs a serious reality check. The presentation and the space are great -- but the kitchen needs to match that same standard. If the owner sees this, I'd honestly love to talk. Feel free to reach out. And for anyone reading this: you know I don't throw out 1-star reviews like that. The only reason this isn't a 1 is because I genuinely don't want to hurt a small business. But this experience was not good.
