    Sooooooo good!! I had the red chicken curry, curried peas n potatoes, salad, rice & bread. Couldn't even begin to say which item I enjoyed the most. It was so freaking good! Cant wait to go back n try more menu items. Check them out on 'Too Good To Go', to get delicious food for cheap.

    We tried the buffet this time around. They had 4 different curries - lamb curry, chicken curry, chicken korma, and a tofu curry. There was also a chicken tandoori. We got garlic naan which is an extra $1, regular naan is inclusive with the buffet price. It was good to try, but curry and naan can make you full. I ate 2 plates, definitely got my moneys worth. I learned that I really like their lamb curry, normally I get the lamb vindaloo but lamb curry is just as good!

    Been on a bit of an Indian buffet kick lately, and this spot was just okay. I'd call it mid overall. The curries tasted a little watered down--not bad, just not super flavorful. I did appreciate that they had a salad. Price is $16.99 per person, and they charge an extra $1 for garlic naan (which feels a little unnecessary at a buffet). The place is clean, and the staff were friendly enough. It'll do in a pinch if you're in San Marcos and want a decent variety of Indian food, but probably not somewhere I'd go out of my way to return to.

    Really amazing food and great service! We enjoyed Crispy Samosa and ginger tea, spicy tadka daal, laccha paratha, Alu Gobi, moong daal halwa, kesar rasmalai and Paan!! All this while listening to our favorite requested songs playing! What a treat!!

    Food was really good, but the keema samosa was wayy too salty I could eat it. I got the vegetable korma which was great, but mild was not quite as flavorful and I think I'd get mild+ next time. The lamb tikka masala (mild+) was also really good and again could probably go up a little on the spice level next time. The garlic naan was really good, though they make it pretty thin, but you get four slices. I ordered a side of rice and got two huge containers! Overall it was really good for takeout and a great amount of food for the price. The staff was attentive and the order was ready in a timely manner.

    Ask the Community - Curry Craft

    Has the lunch buffet been brought back to this location?

    Yes. We started Lunch Buffet at both CurryCraft locations between 11:00 am to 3:00 pm Thank you for… 

    Are the vegetarian dishes cooked in the same dishes (pans, etc) that the non-vegetarian dishes are cooked in? Or is it separate to prevent any contact with meat (oils and fats included)? Thank you!

    We have all the veg and non-veg dishes cooked in different pans! Just make sure to tell our staff when ordering to make extra sure there’s no cross contamination!

    What's offered in the buffet?

    Seems like the buffet changes frequently but they always have over 10 different dishes to chose from. Can't go wrong. I never had the buffet, always each from the menu but it's always busy when I go there which is once a week.

Walking in, it wasn't busy. There was only 1 person waiting for a to-go order. There was a good amount of seating. It wasn't the cleanest though, the floors needed some serious sweeping. We seated ourselves and the young man at the front counter took our order. He was very quiet but helpful. We ordered the Tikka Masala with chicken, Butter Masala w/ chicken, Vindaloo with Shrimp and Garlic Naan. The food was piping hot-temperature wise and arrived in take-out containers. So we needed to wait a few minutes for it to cool a little so we could eat it. Their ice maker wasn't working and the water was warm, so there was no cooling to be found there. When we finally tried the food, we were impressed. The spice-levels of each dish were as expected and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, in the Vindaloo, chicken was put in instead of the shrimp which we had ordered. But it was still good. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic Naan as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried this place. The prices are comparable to other establishments of the same cuisine. However, the food is above average. We'll be back!

It seems to be family run and everyone was very pleasant. I will say it was a bit slow because of how busy they are, but i expected that. The place seems very popular as there were tons of takeout orders coming in. I ordered the chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and lamb samosa.. the prices were about average, around $16 for the curry and about $8 for 2 pretty good sized samosas that were filled to the brim with lamb. Everything i had was very good, and I was only able to eat about half, so I had plenty of leftovers. The tikka masala was very flavorful and the chicken was tender. The Samosa was crispy on the outside and the lamb inside was seasoned well. I loved the garlic naan, and everything was very fresh (pro tip - I put the naan in an air fryer to reheat it the next day, just for about a minute, and it came out tasting like it had just been made fresh!) I will definitely come back here again, and look forward to trying more items on the menu. You are lucky if this place is near you, so if you have not gone yet, I'd make it a point too.

    Came with a group who couldn't decide what to eat for dinner, so we went to the Island food court…read more A few others and I wanted to try Punjabi Tandoor, so we ordered some stuff to share, and my oh my was it delicious. I got the shrimp vindalu, which had great flavor. Each bite was a flavor explosion to my tastebuds. The shrimps were very tender, and the potatoes soaked up the sauce so well. Paired with the garlic naan, the meal was simply divine. Not only was the food amazing, the man behind the counter with the curly mustache was incredibly nice. He gave us recommendations, described some of the food, and even chatted with us a bit since the store wasn't too full. Since we were all so happy with our experience, we decided to go back the next day for lunch! This time I ordered the chicken lunch combo, which came with rice and naan, and I chose to get butter chicken and chicken curry. The lunch meals are premade and served from warming tubs, as opposed to the made to order dinner meals. It was still very delicious however! The butter chicken had a rich, pungent flavor, and the meat had a deep red color, I'm assuming from hours of marinating. The chicken curry was great as well, but not quite as good as the butter chicken. I also got a mango lassi, which I had heard all about but had never tried. It was super creamy and sweet, and was perfect to wash down the spicy curry. This restaurant has a few other locations all across SoCal, and each one is owned by a different members of the family, which we learned by talking to the man behind the counter. I would definitely come back, this is the best Indian food I have ever had.

I decided to get a mango lassi, naan, and chicken makhani, and the woman working the counter asked if I was ordering just for myself. When I said yes, she recommended the combo which includes rice and naan. I love a combo, and this one sounded like a really good deal. It also came with the option to get double chicken makhani or to add another entrée selection. I chose the malai kofta. I appreciated her suggestion, and considering how late I was there, I left a nice tip. When the order was ready about 10 minutes later, she told me that she had thrown in a couple of extras. Instead of making me feel like a burden for coming in late, they treated me with kindness and generosity. I say all of this not so everyone who goes here expects freebies toward the end of the night, but so that you know the service is top-notch and the food is a great value even without the bonus add-ons. If I find myself over here again while I'm still in San Diego, I will absolutely pick up takeout from Punjabi Tandoor.

They told me naan came with four pieces and when I got home my second order was short. When I called back I got nothing but argued with and told to call the owner who was also just trying to get off the phone with me. I have never had a business fight with me over their product being wrong as well as arguing with me about it and accusing me of lying and not having a solution for a refund. A shorted side of naan and two waters shouldn't cost 15.99 my first order of curry dinner and naan was 21$ This place is shady and has horrible customer service over the phone ( if they answer) in the store and their owner. Will not be coming back and should have listened to my gut the first time. Hoping I get my refund.
