    Garlic naan bread Butter chicken Momo chicken
    Laura W.

    The service was amazing. The flavors were incredible. I don't come to Temecula often but when I do I will be sure to stop here again! One of the best Curry cousin I have ever had.

    Ambiance..nice place and plenty of seating Service..fast and friendly Food..butter chicken..fried rice..chow mein..appetizer platter..was amazing and plenty of food. We said no spice and they listened. The butter chicken was creamy. The friendly rice was my fav. Also the masala chai had good cardamom flavour..they also give papad and chutney which was good.

    Tandoori chicken
    Tom S.

    Let me just say there is a reason why Zen Curry is ranked #22 on Yelp. Their food is delicious! We had the crispy cauliflower for our appetizer and it reminded me of a vegetarian version of kung pao. It was crispy and delicious. For our mains we had the tandoori chicken with roasted vegetables for an up charge of $8. We also had the coconut chicken curry and it came with jasmine rice. Both dishes were very flavorful. We ordered the garlic naan which was a great accompaniment to our meal The service provided by Issam was great and he suggested the roasted vegetables with the tandoori chicken which was a great suggestion. Katie who brought the dishes out to us was friendly and stated that she loves working there. The reason for the four stars is that the total bill was almost $100 for just the two of us and no drinks. This included a well deserved 20% tip. This is very pricey for two chicken dishes and a vegetable appetizer compared to other delicious Indian restaurants in the area. With that in mind we will be back but maybe on special occasions.

    CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA and SAAG PANEER
    Joy K.

    Best Indian - Nepal cuisine in Temecula and surrounding areas! The food is rich, flavorful and fresh. The owner takes real pride in everything about this restaurant, including quality of food, decor, and the friendly service of all the staff. We usually order spinach paneer and chicken curry, which is excellent here. Recently we were introduced to their butter chicken, vegetable briyani, steamed dumplings, and mango lassi, which we had during our most recent dining experience here. And then there is their garlic naan. I highly recommend anything I listed here! Also the roasted cauliflower. I guess so far everything I have eaten here has been a sure thing. Just be careful when enjoying this rich food and don't over do it. Voted #22 out of 100 of top places to eat in 2026 for a reason! Support this local business!

    Tried this spot as it caught our eye on the Yelp Top 100 list. The portions were great for the price, and each dish tasted great. Location and service are good.

    cilantro/mint sauce...great for dipping or adding to rice...yummy!
    Mike M.

    Service tremendous. Food remarkable. This was our 2nd visit. My wife and I always share, and last time We both remembered that we ordered and liked the Tiki Masala. We don't recall what the other thing was that we ordered, anyway we got the Tiki Masala and their chow mein. The chow mein was good, but nothing great. But the Tiki masala was very good and highly recommend. We will likely always order that and try something new everytime we go. My wife likes her food mild to medium and i like my food HOT...so we always order "medium" and ask for spice on the side. They have a VERY FLAVORFUL habanero sauce...not only is it very spicy (my wife says so by dipping a bit on her finger, where my motto is "there is no such thing as "too spicy"), it also is very deep in flavor. A little goes a long way...but i still asked for 2 sides of their habanero sauce (grin). We also both very much liked the mint/cilantro sauce. We dipped both the free chips and the ordered garlic nann bread in the mint sauce and "loved" it. Their selection choice is huge with about 5 or 6 large pages...2 are shown here. Highly recommend and will be back!

    BUTTER CHICKEN
    Laura S.

    I stopped in because I could smell curry from the road and the owner and manager both greeted me with a warm welcoming and the friendliest smile ever. It's really nice in there and it's not too loud which is nice if you want a conversation. I gotta say, I don't really like chicken thighs, but if it's like this from here? Sign me up for it! The chicken was amazingly tender, and the curry was just PERFECT! The Himalayan coffee, don't even get me started on the taste, not too bitter, not sweet like a Frappuccino, it was divine! So smooth and perfection. The garlic naan was by the far the BEST I've ever had!! It makes never want to buy store bought again! The basmati rice was super fluffy and flavorful as well. If you want delicious Indian, come here! Let your nose bring you in!

    Free bread appetizer
    Christopher V.

    Everything we ate was 10/10, especially that garlic naan! Big thanks to our server for being so attentive and kind. The patio was a lifesaver--super clean and comfortable. Plus, the open air meant we could actually enjoy our conversation despite some screaming kiddos at a neighboring table.

    GARLIC NAAN
    Dojo A.

    Been wanting to come here and finally the opportunity came. My experience today exceeded my expectations. Check in was very quick and was greeted with a smile!! Once you enter the door, the first thing you'll experience is the aroma of herbs and spices that just permeates the whole restaurant. My taste buds and gastronomic senses were all in Level 5 mode . Our serve, Promo, was very attentive and professional. He took time to explain their best dishes and personal recommendations. In terms of the food everything we ordered were 11/10. This is definitely one of my top 2 Indian-Nepalese resto I've had. So here's what I ordered: 1. Tandoori chicken wings - 10/10 - tender and well seasoned. Very flavorful and you can taste the spices. Amazing appetizer 2. Butter chicken - 12/10 - out of bounds. Overall flavor were so well balanced from herbs and spice and non overpowered the other. 3. Grilled lamb chops - 15/10 - prolly the best grilled lamb chops I've had. Tender smoky herbaceous and well balanced spice. Dipped it with their spicy sauce and mint chutney was divine! 4. Garlic naan - 15/10 - I don't know how they made their naan but it was phenomenal. It must be their tandoori oven. Crispy edges, soft and gooey and lots of garlic and butter flavor. I'm just blown away and glad to have a top notch quality Indian-Nepalese resto in the valley! I'm still surprised by myself that this is my first time here and definitely will be a regular customer for many years!!!

    Had an amazing lunch at Zen Curry and Grill. My Bible study group enjoyed the delicious cuisine as we conversed. We will definitely return! Thank you, Saurav, for your warm hospitality.

    Lie-Ming S.

    Zen Curry and Grill, 41653 Margarita Rd, Suite 104, Temecula, CA92591. We've been to Zen Curry several times since they opened in Temecula. It offers a blend of Indian and Nepalese cuisine with a touch of fusion while staying true to traditional tastes. Nice modern decor with welcoming atmosphere. The server was friendly and polite. Food was great. My favourite was Pumpkin Lamb Curry.

    So disappointed in this naan
    Susie T.

    I will review again once I eat at the restaurant when food is fresh and hot. I ordered to go and it was made quickly. They have a patio which is nice. 3 stars bc the naan bread was highly disappointing. It was so chewy and did not taste exceptional like every naan I've ever had. I eat vegetarian and Indian food a lot and I'd have to say this naan was by far the worst. I will attribute this assessment to it being "to go", but I want to eat at the restaurant bc the chicken vindaloo was a 10! I loved it! It was so robust in flavor, beautiful texture, and such tender chicken! Absolutely divine! Only negative is that it had no spicy flavor. I ordered their highest level and I could taste only a hint of spicy. Still, it deserves a 10. Because of the vindaloo i want to eat there in person. After my 10 day water fast, ill certainly try their restaurant out! I'll update my review after.

    Andre And Tami P.

    Decent food! Decent service! Great paparnan and green sauce! Did not have Taj beer so we settled for the only Indian beer they had in stock. What took me from a 4 star to a 1 star review was the credit card machine asking for 30% tip! WTF!!!! Never again!

I ordered the 2-meat combo platter with brisket and pork ribs, plus mac and cheese and beans. Unfortunately, the food was pretty underwhelming for the price. The brisket arrived dry and slightly oxidized-looking, with only two slices included. The ribs were overdone and mostly from the cartilage-heavy end of the rack. Flavor overall was decent, but nowhere near memorable. The mac and cheese was bland, the beans were okay, and even the pickles had an odd chemical taste to them. The service was genuinely great, which was the highlight of the experience, but at around $48 for the combo plate, the food quality just didn't justify the cost. For comparison, Heritage BBQ in San Juan Capistrano is in an entirely different league when it comes to quality and execution. This place felt much more geared toward tourists than serious BBQ fans.
