Yum! What a great new addition to Esco's Grand Ave. dining scene. Light and inviting. First time there: we had excellent garlic naan, marsala macaroni and cheese (something new for me; creamy and delicious), and chicken marsala curry. We just had tea, but they have a variety of unique cocktails. And a pool table! read more

Delicious! We loved their take on the latke, and the Indian street corn was super tasty... the cheese naan was awesome with the Green Rogan Josh -- super tender lamb. Very attentive service, too. Loved it!! read more

Great food! A wonderful addition to downtown. The chicken vindaloo was just the right amount of spice and paneer masala was delicious.

The food is incredible. I would say one of the best tikka masala I've ever had. However, the service is lackluster to the extent where the owners and the staff are on their phones and don't even acknowledge your existence. I had to get up and ask for my wine and my food. Ambience is OK but the food really is delicious.! read more

Great food, great service. Fun for the kids with the pool table at lunch. We'll be back. read more

I never do yelp reviews, but this place is so amazing I have to do one. Not only is the service so kind and wonderful, the food is absolutely delicious. I've been here a few times now, and every single time was amazing. Best drink so far is the dirty chai, and the butter chicken was my favorite entree . Preet gave amazing service and recommendations. I will have to come back again for the amazing food and additionally the wonderful service !!! read more

$15 dollars for dhal? The place i usually go has dhal for $3.99. Why are vegetable dishes the same price as meat? This is absurd. $5 for nann as well. Doesn't make sense. read more

Ordered takeout. The food is outstanding... not just by Escondido standards, but for San Diego as a whole. Grand Avenue desperately needs more great dining options, and this place absolutely delivers. read more

Food was ok. Service was horrible. I had to get up and go to the bar and request more water! And they dont give you more ice!

Party of 6 tried apps and different dishes. Chicken was excellent but the lamb was so tender a definite signature dish. Service was on point a regular rotation in the future, read more

Tried this place for the first time today and was very impressed. The atmosphere was refreshing and different from typical Indian restaurants. The menu options was just enough and the food itself was delicious. We ordered a bunch of appetizers which was satisfying. Service was amazing and quick. read more

Second time eating at Firangi. So far the food has been excellent, layers of flavors with just the right amount of heat. The atmosphere is a little odd, thumping bar music at 1:00 on a lazy Sunday afternoon, but the food makes up for this. The service is fabulous, warm and attentive. Highly recommend trying this addition to the food scene on Grand in Escondido. read more

What a delightful experience!!!! We stopped in on NYE wanting to have dinner and a drink. We were not disappointed. We ordered a starter of Indian Street Corn. Very delicious with a warm mix of spices and some feta. Reasonable beer prices, even without happy hour. I ordered the Tandoori Rack of Lamb -- Excellent. BF ordered Tandoori Chicken Tikka -- tender and flavorful. An order of cheese naan came out with the main course. The mango chutney was delicious. We will be back here soon to check out the excellent happy hour specials and more of the menu. Our waitress was friendly and ready to offer advice and recommendations. Music wasn't too loud and definitely accented the meal. read more

Possibly some of the best Indian food we've had in SD! Highly recommend for a date night or even take out!

Loved this place! Friendly and welcoming service and the food is actually so delicious. We ordered the garlic naan, dynamite wings, green curry, tikka masala, and market vegetables and EVERYTHING was good!! We took food to go, but the place had a good vibe. The bar is spacious and they had pool tables. Fun place to hang for sure! read more

Go asap! The service was amazing but the food was incredible! We got the lamb chops, vindaloo curry with chicken, garlic naan, and the curry fries. We devoured it and already are planning our next visit. The red sangria was delicious! And the n/a lemonade was so refreshing. You can tell they put time and care into their ingredients and preparing hear dishes. read more

seriously great food goofy irritating waitress. Best vegetable mix and samosas I have had read more

Just had for the second time and it was really good! Love, love, love the food here. Thankful there's a local Indian restaurant that is this good! read more

Really good unique Indian food. Very flavorful and great, friendly service! Shout out to Preet!

This was genuinely the best Indian food I've ever had. The tika masala was sooo good and I cannot understate YOU NEED TO EAT IT. The service was also great! The owner was super sweet guy and made sure we were having a good time the whole time. The ambience was maybe my favorite part because they had Bollywood movies playing on the tv, and me and my brother were just laughing. Amazing place highly recommend read more

Excellent food, beer, ambience,and service! Will be driving up from SD to come here often.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at this incredible Indian restaurant, and it was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we walked in, the warm hospitality and inviting aromas set the tone for a memorable meal. We started with chutney sampler, wheat chips were crispy and thing is that serve all four tangy and sweet chutneys with chips, those chutneys hit all the right notes. The garlic naan was fresh, absolutely soft, and perfect for scooping up every last bit of chicken tikka masala. We ended with gulab jamun, warm and syrupy, a sweet finish to an unforgettable meal We will be back again. read more

Outstanding gourmet apps and a lot of beer on tap. Authentic, delish and highly recommend this gastropub w an Indian twist.

Indian cooks serving fantastic fusions if authentic Indian is insufficient. The vibe is honest. Servers don't bother you with too much "just checking in" but will also engage in conversation from small talk to substance. It's tv's find the sports game you're looking for. Pool queues are new. Pool Tables and balls are new. Beer list is great. I always have a great time. I haven't seen a person wait over 3 minutes to pick up a take out order. Every day is some sort of deal that feels like a steal. The only reason I'm not here every day is that I'm trying to get in better shape and everything is too easy to overindulge in read more

Good beers on tap. Had a great time with friends on a Thursday. Not very many places I'd rather spend my time in Escondido than here.

The service was great! The curry fries are immaculate and drinks were delicious, definitely coming back for not only the food but the pool table! read more

Incredibly great service- they were so kind and accommodating. The ambiance is really fun- it's crazy how large this place is. There's a whole cute area in the back. The food was great! Spicy, flavorful, even our picky toddler loved it. Their drinks are amazing! I would return even just for the cocktails and mocktails, one of which our waitress gave us on the house. I am 100% returning here with my family, for date night, or with my friends. Highly recommend! I am very glad Escondido has this new restaurant! read more

The food is amazing. The flavors are so complex and addictive. The staff is so nice and accomodating. Just a personal preference, I would love to see some salads or fruit on the menu. The sauces are so rich that something light and fresh would really be welcome to cut through all the richness of the entrees. Aside from that, the food is perfect, and this is a fabulous addition to Escondido dining! read more

Awesome addition to our downtown! This place does not only fill the void of great Indian food in our area, but it does it in such a brilliant way. They have classic dishes like Chicken Tikka but also more interesting ones like Curry fries and Indian Latkes, we've eaten through probably half their menu and everything tastes amazing! Not to mention, their cocktails are incredible and come out in a timely manner. The customer service is very on point even during peak hours. The servers are super nice, take time to explain the menu and even give recommendations; very useful for people who might be new to Indian cuisine! There is a good variety of indoor seating between bar seating, booths, and tables, and also a small outdoor section in the back which is a bit cozy and tucked away if you are looking for a more quiet or intimate vibe. Overall, could not recommend this place enough and if you are looking for some good eats on Grand, come check it out! read more

The restaurant oozes energy and charisma. Firangi makes sure its personality shows in each and every interaction; through their amazing kitchen/bar staff, into creative dishes and exceptional cocktail mixes. The ambiance when the house is packed and the pool tables are cracking off, has unsurpassed many of it's colleagues in the Grand Ave. quarter of Escondido! read more

Delicious!! My husband and I love Indian food and were so excited to have an Indian spot in Escondido and it did not disappoint. So hope this place sticks around it's a great addition to downtown. The food was delicious, service was great and the vibe was cool. read more

The food was ok-good. Service was good. Charging $$ for extra sauce and $5 for a 1/4 cup of vegetables added to my curry in unacceptable, this is Escondido not the coast. The layout of the place is interesting offering many seating options. If they can figure out the pricing and make it closer to Curry and More we will be back. read more

nice food and very friendly. The takeout order was on time....will definitely come back sgsiny

Went to Firangi for the first time Sunday night with friends. We were all thrilled with the atmosphere, food and service. At first we walked into the noisy bar/restaurant and I thought, uh ohhhh, but they took us back into the full restaurant part that was charming and quiet. The starters were amazing, a curry crab dish was to die, the potato latkes and samosas were delish. We split 3 entrees after, the chicken tika masala, a vegetable korma and a shrimp tandoori. All were good, but the korma was outstanding, the garlic naan was also delicious. We tried the pistachio icecream for dessert, omg, too die!! We will definitely be back, give it a try, worth the drive forcsure! read more

The appetizers are GREAT and the cocktails are great too. Staff is very friendly and the location is in the middle of hoppin downtown Escondido. read more

As an Indian food connoisseur, this is hands down the BEST butter chicken I've had in my life. The sangria was divine, samosas were perfection, even the rice was amazing! Service was fast and friendly, atmosphere was immaculate and welcoming. 20 out of 10! I will be a frequent customer from now on! read more

Everything was excellent--mango sangria, homemade samosas, green coconut curry and tandoori chicken. A light and airy interior with pool table while you wait. We are soo excited this new spot has come to Grand Avenue. We plan to come back next weekend with more people! read more

The food was delicious and the service was great. Super friendly and welcoming. Our family will definitely be eating here again.

The food was marginal at best. The breads we got, including naan and tandoori roti lacked flavor. They just opened. Hopefully they'll get the food right soon. read more

This place has good food and a great beer selection. Pool tables are a nice add on as well.
