Flavor of India is one of those places that gets a lot right…read more We ordered the samosas, aloo paratha, garlic naan, chana masala, and a green salad. The samosas were absolutely to die for--perfectly crisp on the outside with a flavorful, well-seasoned filling. I'd come back just for those. The aloo paratha was another standout: buttery, comforting, and cooked beautifully. The garlic naan was soft, fresh, and exactly what you want alongside a good curry. The chana masala was enjoyable, but it felt like it was missing just a little something. I can't quite put my finger on it--maybe a touch more depth or spice? It was good, just not the most memorable version I've had. Beyond the food, the restaurant itself is lovely. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the staff was genuinely friendly, and I especially appreciated the fun Indian music playing throughout the meal. It gave the whole experience a lively, welcoming vibe. Overall, I'd happily come back--especially for those samosas and the aloo paratha.

I genuinely think this is some of the best food I've ever had We ordered the dinner for two because we wanted to try as many dishes as possible, and every single bite was incredible The Chicken Masala completely stole the show it was hands down the best I've ever had I honestly couldn't stop eating What made the experience even more special was the hospitality They surprised us with extra Chicken Masala, extra naan, and desserts all on the house That level of kindness is rare, and it made us feel so welcome You can tell these people work incredibly hard, and it genuinely made me want to support their business. If you're thinking about trying Indian food (or even if you're already a fan), do yourself a favor and come here You won't regret it

They…read morewere running a Groupon recently, which seems to have since stopped, but I'm thankful we still got to try it with one :) They have very reasonable prices for lunch specials, which run every day (including the weekends - amazing!), so next time we'll come in for that. I ordered the chai to start and some water. My wife got water. The chai was excellent and our server was very attentive at keeping both full all through the meal. We ordered a side of rice and a chicken korma curry and garlic naan. The chicken korma had excellent flavor and the garlic naan was out fresh too. The rice was a good consistency too. In fact - everything was really good - however, I do wish there was a bit more chicken with the curry. It was a little difficult for my wife and I to split the meal like we were expecting to do, and I feel like each curry is more individually suited, rather than for 2. Like I said, I think next time we'd do the lunch specials instead. At the end, the dessert we got was ras malai and maaaan it was tasty. Overall, we left with happy, but not quite full, bellies, having tried lots of killer flavors. We'll be back again to try the lunch specials and I recommend you come too.

If you're looking for great Indian food, I highly recommend giving this place a try. You won't be disappointed!

Even though I ordered the three item combo, I ended up just buying another fourth item because I liked it so much. The service is really nice and they gave great recs. All of the curries are unique. Everything is already freshly made when you arrive so it's grab and go. They do have seating and a wide range of drinks. Chicken tikka masala reminds me of tomato basil soup but with a bunch of different spices and chicken added to it and it's comforting because you can eat it with their fragrant rice! And It was the sweetest of the four options but I personally like sweet and savory so this was up there for me. The butter chicken was more savory and garlicky. The palak paneer was my favorite, I'd order that again for sure. The cheese melts in your mouth bc it's so soft. They blend the spinach completely which I really like not to have to chew my spinach. It's very creamy and rich! I wonder if they use coconut milk? The goat curry bone in was the spiciest and most savory of the four options but was a pleasant heat that comes later. They gave good portions of meat and honestly so worth it! The two or three item combos come with naan! They share a parking lot with other businesses in the small plaza. I highly recommend coming here for Indian food. I'm coming back for sure!

One of the two brothers whom operate this remarkably unique establishment took time to discuss and explain their dishes, the history of their Eastern Indian Region (of Assam) where they hail from, and the options of requesting levels of heat in their dishes to order as well zero chili if that is what the diner prefers. When I worked at an office job just north of Victory Blvd. I visited Assam (located south of Victory) with my Boss whom loves Indian Food. The reason we didn't get to enjoy their food is that Assam does not open until 4 PM, remaining open until midnight. It is worth making the effort to dine during these hours because the flavors are pure. The Naan is a uniquely delectable and unexpected surprise, and both the Korma & Curry I had were delicious with rice. The fact that I had already eaten before arriving at Assam did nothing to dim the brightness of flavors for it is less how much one eats, but how good the flavors. This was an unexpected treat which continues to inspire my future return because the experience was amazing. The dishes normally would be chosen, either one or the other, simply because they are quite similar. The curry had a greater depth even as I found the Korma savory and delicious. My friend and Yelp reviewer, Gary I, had not tasted either (yet) therefore in order to review them he had to taste them for which I am delighted still. The Naan contained fruit and nuts; and was delicious in it's own right. The rice was done flawlessly, and was the perfect counter point and base for both the Korma & curry (both had chicken) and although I did not eat a great amount I savored all the flavors, and cannot wait to return! Note to Gary: "Shall we?" ^^

You can eat there, have take away or have it delivered. They have some great specials so look for those. The service is really nice and they treat you like family. They care about their customers. If you call in your food will be ready when promised. But we prefer to eat there whenever we can. Again, they are just so nice. The prices are fair, their is parking in the back. The food, all of it is great. Try their lamb samosas which are packed with lamb and such great spice. Their shrimp pakora is so good. It is a starter, but it is a great size portion. All of their soups are good. We love the lentil soup. All of their lamb dishes are great and they have a lot to choose from. It is all great.

What I didn't like was how my boyfriend was treated and how long it took to get my mango lassi and the papadum appetizer and the rest of the vegetarian combo meal we ordered. We waited around 25 min and finally flagged down the server to ask about the mango lassi and the food. The table behind us that arrived some time after we did were given their papadum starter, drinks, and food before we were. What was more, another server came with our food and joked our kufta dish has chicken in it. Then he said he's kidding. This was not funny. I am, after all, vegetarian. The kuftas were too thick and hard to eat with naan. I did like the garlic basic naan. The rotis were too tough. We took the leftovers but neither of us actually wanted the food. I discarded all of it. This is most unlike us as we hate wasting food but the whole experience and food itself left a bad taste in my mouth. We came here very hungry after a long day. We browsed for restaurants open after 10pm on Sunday and finally came across this place. My boyfriend had come to visit me in Santa Clarita Valley from Downtown LA. He said he tried Clay Pit in Los Angeles and it was good. So we decided to come here and I drove us. In the end, we were met with a relatively unpleasant experience and mediocre food. We will not return here.

There's also plenty of parking, which makes stopping by easy and convenient. A special thank you to Uzi, who greeted me with a big smile and made me feel welcome as soon as I walked in.

I would definitely come back to try more items because there are so many great options on the menu. Before we left, the employee even gave us a complimentary treat, which was such a thoughtful gesture. I wish I had asked for his name because he was incredibly kind, friendly, and helpful.
