    First timer and was craving for Indian food. Newly opened spot in old town West Covina. Very impressed with the intimate vibe, love the set up. The menu is very informative, a lot of food and drinks items to choose from. Our serve Nishi was very attentive to our needs, always checking up on us. Here's what we ordered: 1. Coastal Fish Koliwada - lightly battered, paired sauce compliments the flavor 8/10 2. Chicken Malai Kabob - more of an appetizer style, chicken was tender, seasoned well 9/10 3. House Special Butter Chicken - comes with basmati rice, has a mild spice with option to increase spice level, so buttery, creamy, and delicious! 10/10 4. Chicken Tikka Masala - served with basmati rice, tastes similar to the butter chicken take out creamy and not spicy. 9/10 5. Butter Naan and Garlic Naan - 10/10 7. Yogurt Lassi - thick liquid version of plain unsweetened yogurt with pistachio topping 6/10 8. Mango (is think it's maaza?) - taste like a watered down jumex 5/10 We were given complimentary dessert 1 piece of Gulab Jamun. So good! 10/10. And were given Mukhwas, first time trying, interesting flavors 8/10. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu next time. Definitely returning

    So happy to have a new favorite Indian food restaurant nearby. The food is delicious, the restaurant is super clean. Service is a bit slower than Id like but the food is worth the wait. I only wish that they would bring the order out at once instead of having to wait between items. Something i love is that they give complimentary desserts that are really yummy too. My family and i liked it so much that we went 2 days in a row hehe

    Chicken Tikka Masala
    Amberlee V.

    This place was a surprise for sure! The food was fresh, the service was great and I loved that this is family run. The decor and ambiance is very warm, modern and inviting. We got the Mumbai street pani puri and I recommend trying it! It was such an experience and fun to eat! We also got the chicken tikka masala and the classic lamb curry and both were full of flavor and better than any I have had in a while. They also were nice enough to offer some dessert to try. We will definitely be coming back!

    This place was a great find! The service was excellent and they were very welcoming. They gave us recommendations and also free samples of different things. We had the classic chicken tandoori, the garden aloo gobi matar, and garlic naan. All of it was very tasty, great spices, and a good amount of heat. We would definitely come back!

    This restaurant is a hidden gem in West Covina. As soon as my husband and I entered the restaurant, we were warmly greeted and welcomed by the host/waiter. The interior design and ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful and classy. The food was fresh, flavorful, and presented beautifully. We loved all the items we ordered: - Dahi Pani Puri - Chicken Tikka Masala - 24K Lamb Shank - Garlic Naan They gave us a refreshing dessert at the end too. We will definitely be back and recommend this to our family and friends!

    All the dishes were meticulously prepared and flavorful yet well balanced. Food came out quickly and hot. Both of the staff were so sweet, cordial and professional. We enjoyed dining in the modern, clean and relaxing environment. We will return. Highly recommended!

When you're craving that special taste of a homemade dish made with love- this is it! My husband first introduced this place to me when I told him I was craving Indian food. He mentioned his parents would always come here on date nights and we just had to try it. I tried the chicken tikka masala with white rice, garlic naan and of course, mango lassi! Every single bite was filled with flavor....It was so much food in one serving I had enough for lunch and dinner next day! My favorite thing to try at every spot is the mango lassi and I loved the consistency of this place!! The service is great, all of our questions were answered & our accommodations were made. I will definitely be coming back, especially for date night!

I thought that would be the same for the restaurant, but it was just normal Indian food. Nothing extraordinary. And the service was slow, it took forever to receive items so much that we canceled some items. I also think with the money they make on catering, they can totally remodel the restaurant. First of all it's weird, no windows? And carpet? The 80's are long over. The food is good, but the catering is best! So if you have a lot of money for catering, definitely use Manohar's.

It's located in downtown Monrovia, just past their library. They have parking in the back lot and close to the front. For dinner it's by entree, so it's not unlimited food. The only unlimited item they have was the cold water which you may need for the spicy curry. I ordered the Queen non-veg thali to get a sampler of their different flavors and items. It was not bad. It came with your choice of an entree, i chose chicken curry and the rest was a tomato cucumber salad, rice, naan, tandoori chicken, and an eggplant curry. It was pretty filling. Those the little cups look small, it's decent if you like trying a little of everything. The tandoori chicken looked dry, but was very moist and juicy. Highly recommend checking this place out if you're craving Indian food.

You can park in the additional parking spots all around Shopper Ln. I have been a customer for many years and tried many delicious dishes. They serve a traditional Mexican open buffet at certain times. The waiting line is expected, but don't feel discouraged because it moves fast. The decor is vibrant enriched with colorful murals. The staff are very welcoming and genuinely warm. The restaurant has cozy and inviting ambience. Outdoor and indoor seating are available. I placed an online order for pickup. It was fast and convenient since I had friends coming for dinner. I ordered the following: - Burrito Panchon 5/5 Stuffed with carnita, beans and rice, served with cream, beans and guacamole. Huge portion! You can choose your protein. - Fajitas Cielo Mar Y Tierra 5/5 Marinated beef, shrimp, chicken. It served with sauteed bell peppers tomatoes and onions, rice, guacamole, beans and pico de gallo. It was smoky, savory and flavorful. - Vegetarian Enchiladas 5/5 Corn tortillas stuffed with bell pepper, corn, onion, carrot, cilantro, squash, and topped with a combination of cream and jack cheese. The portion was enormous. It was a very flavorful and savory. - Carna Asada 5/5 Flap meat marinated with homemade adobo. It served with pico de gallo, rice & guacamole. The meat was juicy and tender. It was such a delicious dish. - Empanadas 5/5 I chose chicken empanadas. It served with salad. The empanadas was crispy from outside and very flavorful. - Ensalada de Nopales 5/5 Diced cactus mixed with tomatoes, onion, lime, and cilantro. - Taquitos 5/5 It was crispy from outside with savory and juicy filling. - Taco de Cameron , taco de Pescado & taco de Birria 5/5 They were savory, juicy and delicious. - Beans 5/5 Topped with melted cheese, really delicious - Large Bionico Bowl 5/5 Fresh fruits like topped strawberries, mango, cantaloupe, banana, papaya, blueberries, apples, pineapple topped with granola and shaved coconut. It was rich, creamy. The fruits were fresh and sweet. It was heavenly! Every box was wrapped with layers of plastic wrap perfectly. I got a bag full of different types of salsa with my order and another bag with tortilla chips. The food portions were very generous. Every dish reflected authenticity and deliciousness. Fonda Don Chon has high quality, flavorful and delicious food. It is my FAVORITE MEXICAN RESTAURANT.

I had the watermelon which was refreshing considering the hot afternoon. The inside was cozy with painted walls. Their selection were varied but limited seafood. Their shrimp dishes were okay verging on the chewy side as they were sitting there. The carnitas was very flavorful and so was the beef stew. You could get as much guacamole as you want. Their cake was awful, very grainy. I replenished my watermelon drink with more watermelon. The servers were very friendly and attentive.
