I love Palak Paneer but only ever had the microwave meals. The staff, particularly one older man, was extremely welcoming and helpful. He helped me decide on the menu also. I ordered to go and as soon as I got in the car, I showed my brother the garlic naan it comes with. He got excited, took a slice and ate the whole thing. It was extremely good. Now he is planning on returning just from tasting the naan. I got home and made my plate of Palak Paneer and it's extremely good. Super seasoned! Definitely a hidden gem!

Food is damn good, and the people who work there are just as great. I had asked for a small amount of their riata, and the gentleman gave me a perfectly small size on the house with a smile.

I placed an order for delivery through UE and got:…read more - Super Combo (comes with 3 entree items, rice, yogurt, choice of bread, and a fountain drink). My choices were Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Aloo Gobi. Garlic Naan and a Mango Lassi (up charge). - Samosa Chaat: 2 Samosas cut up and topped with Chana Masala, yogurt, chutneys, raw onions and cilantro. My first time ever trying this and it will definitely not be my last. It was so good! All the savory and sweet flavors combined with the different textures from the soft and crisp samosas to the crunchy raw onions, just wow! They were kind enough to honor my request for extra chutneys on the side, so I added those liberally to each bite and put it on top of a piece of garlic naan. Mind-blown!! Deliciousness Rating: 10/5 - Saag Paneer (part of combo): Probably one of the best Saag I've ever had. Not super blended and mushy like other places. This still had texture and was really flavorful. Wish I had ordered more. Deliciousness Rating: 5/5 - Aloo Gobi (part of combo): This was served in a thin wet sauce and I'm used to the style that is sautéed dry, so this version was not my preference. I also had 1 piece of cauliflower in the entire cup. Probably won't order again. Deliciousness Rating: 3/5 - Chicken Tikka Masala (part of combo): A little too sweet for my preference, but the chicken was moist and the sauce was creamy. Deliciousness Rating: 3/5 - Garlic naan was perfectly cooked. The bread was thick and soft with a hint of garlic. Deliciousness Rating: 4/5 - Mango Lassi: Sadly, I never received. It was not delivered with my order, so I'm unable to review it. One thing I'd like to mention for the owner is that when trying to order food for pickup/delivery, either through the Naan Cafe website or DoorDash/Uber Eats, there are several inconsistencies. Multiple items that are on your menu are not available to order on the app/website. Please update so that your pickup and delivery customers have the same options available as the in-person customers do.

I've never had this type of cuisine so I was curious to try it. They recommended the curry dishes but I ended up getting the mixed tandoori platter to try it all. With the amount of meats it comes with, I love that it is good for hitting my protein goals and still even enough to split into several meals. It also comes with a basket of fresh naan. It was served on a hot skillet so the meats and onions were flavorful and nicely charred. Even leaving the restaurant at 3pm, there were couples and families still coming in to eat. Definitely a fun spot to check out and a great first impression to Pakistan cuisine!

Cost is great if you are going for the lunch buffet, but the food was pretty much a letdown when you consider Curry & Kebab is about 15 min away and exponentially better while the restaurant that closed down in University Village (Masala Mischief) had way better and culturally accurate flavors. The flavors here could barely be considered Indian where UCR's dorm food made by non-Indians had more accurate seasoning than here during their lunch buffet. Everything was watered down, cooked until super dry, and unflavorful. I wouldn't be surprised if you told me it was made by an American cook who thought Indian spices were too spicy and got rid of everything. In addition, things that are supposed to be dairy based and runs and tastes like water is very disappointing. All-in-all, the service was ok (food was replenished and we got our naan, but not exactly checking on people all that much) , cost vs filling is fine, but I honestly wouldn't even eat it even if offered for free. The room is on the dark side but at least somewhat comfortable. I'll give it a 2 star because these people seem to be ok people and the plates and whatnot were clean (as I've seen worse elsewhere). Also the naan wasn't bad (I still like elsewhere) but the naan was definitely better than barely edible.

The main dining room is open seating. On the left side is their banquet room for special events and private parties. A nice space to hold an intimate gathering. We dug right into their lunch buffet priced at $16.95. They also have a lunch special for $12.95. Buffet had veggie egg rolls and fritters, fish, tandoori chicken, tikka masala chicken or veggie, lentils, potato, rice, chic pea salad, mustard greens, salad station with lettuce, tomato and red onions, with mint and tamarind sauces, oranges and rice pudding. A nice spread of traditional dishes and sides. Fresh garlic nan was brought out in a basket for the table. Not sure if this is refillable we were too full to ask for another.

Harry is the pizza chef and came out to give us a sample, we each got a slice of the tandoori masala chicken pizza with made in house ranch. They just launched a pizza menu recently. SO GAS!!!!
