    Appetizer sample  platter
    bhakti p.

    Tucked away in corner, under new owner this place is great. Loved the food service and ambiance. I personally like clean walls not any tacky indian art works. Food was great, for their locals. For my Indian taste needed some more flavours. First off nan dough didn't have salt , I ordered Peshwari nan its but sweet in flavor. If nan dough has salt in salt in dough it taste better. Hint of salt bring out flavor of coconut and raisin ( my personal opinion) Pakoras I like with spink le of chaat masala, when I asked they gave us. Maybe for their american crowds they don't like taste of chaat masala. Samosas were big in size and freshly made. Yummy. Mango lassi was really good, no artificial flavour added. Malai koftas were great, fresh ingredients, soft and creamy. Food was piping hot just the way we like it. Owner Mr. Robin was very nice, came and check on us multiple time, so is there staff. They also offered us kheer on the house. Even we were full we ended eating up, it was delicious!! Will come back soon.

    Spicy Aloo Gobi

    Absolutely incredible experience! The Aloo Gobi was hands-down one of the best I've ever had--perfectly seasoned, tender potatoes and cauliflower cooked with rich, authentic spices that really popped with flavor. You can tell it was made fresh with care. Paired with their fluffy, fragrant rice, it was the ultimate comfort meal. The service is perfect and your table is well taken care of. Friendly service! The portions were generous, the presentation was great, and every bite felt like real home-style cooking. If you're craving authentic Indian food done right, this place is a must-visit. I'll definitely be coming back for more!

    Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, and Mixed Veggie Korma (coconut)

    I truly believe this is the greatest Indian food spot in Costa Mesa. If you're local, order from here. I don't want to give away too much since you need to form your own opinion and try their items out, but please come try it. You won't be disappointed with their food! Also, get the coconut korma mixed veggies

    Extra rice for $2.99
    Kaylee L.

    I ordered the Chicken Korma, samosas, garlic naan bread and extra rice online. When I went to pick it up I had asked if they made sure the extra rice was packed. They didn't and it took a few minutes for them to check the receipt and add it. The extra rice was $2.99 but I also paid extra $0.99 to have it with the chicken korma and it didn't have the rice so it was a little disappointing. It was $32.28 for everything and the portions were kind of small. Aside from the price and missing rice, it was packed well and the food tasted good.

    My food everytime I come here is amazing. They have the best service and I always feel happier after eating here. Please come by and talk to everyone and try the butter chicken and garlic naan I'm addicted

    Even the sign was extra cool with its back lit red with yellow front..

    What a great surprise! The food was great, the appetizer was great. The drinks were great, and the the service was great. My friend's son wanted to try chicken tiki masala, so I looked up Indian food. There is not too many Indian food places in Costa mesa but this one looked the most appealing from what I found. It is on the other side of town for me.. I didn't expect much, and was very surprised... It is in a somewhat hidden corner of a strip mall on Harbor and Adams... but worth the search. they immediately served a complementary appetizer like you would get chips and salsa at a Mexican restaurant.. It was a nice touch. The tables proper table cloths, nice water, glasses, etc. when the food was served, it came served in very nice what I believe to be copper Bowls... everything just had a nice feel to it. We talked to the owner a bit before we left. He used to manage some Indian restaurants up in Los Angeles for a long time, but has lived in Orange County for many years... I guess he recently purchased this restaurant, and I would highly recommend going to check it out.. I love to see independent restaurant owners making good food in our neighborhoods thriving.. Please go try it out and keep this delicious place thriving as it should. I don't usually take the time to write reviews. This place was definitely a great surprise. I had to share..

    Ordered butter chicken and garlic naan from here after coming back from India and graving the dish. It's okay, but the butter chicken isn't authentic. They add too much tomato paste -- the taste is more reminiscent of tikka masala and it lacks depth of flavor. It might be more appropriate to name this tomato-flavored sauce with chicken in it than butter chicken, which shouldn't be so acidic in taste. The curry doesn't have "umami" in it. Unfortunately, the chicken also isn't tender. When I eat it, it feels like this was a white person trying to cook Indian food. Disappointed :(

    This place used to be a solid lunch buffet, but they got rid of that around the pandemic and never…read morelooked back. They still keep the food in the buffet, but have a guy scoop out the items for you. Just isn't the same without being able to try all the delicious food. Even a 3 item combo may still leave you wanting more. Costa Mesa used to have some amazing Indian Buffets, but no longer. This is the last spot standing. Hopefully some day they bring back the old ways, but until then, will just keep the memories of sitting in the corner, watching some Indian music videos on the tvs, and eventually waddling out in satisfied stuffed discomfort.

    PROS: Delicious Indian food! Got the 2-item weekend lunch special with vegetable rice, garlic naan…read more& yogurt dipping sauce for $13.99+ tax. Chicken Tikka Masala- aromatic spices are on point. Creamy, spicy, savory and tangy sauce. The texture of the chicken was soft and tender. Good comfort food, it's become my personal favorite! Palak- equally tasty, this creamed spinach with mild herbs was savory. Garlic naan- thumbs up! Soft and chewy, perfect for dipping with the yogurt or tikka masala sauce. STAFF: friendly owner CONS: Sign on bathroom door was misleading. It clearly says "Out of Order", but wasn't out of order. Had to ask the owner if I can use it, and he ok'd me using it. Dining establishments that offer on-site dining should provide functional restrooms to patrons. I believe someone had previously mention the restroom issue among the reviews and it needs to be addressed. For this reason, had to knock off 1 star.
