We've had Indian food all over Southern Cal., including at other spots in Santa Clarita...it's one of our favorites, but our experience here was disappointing. The service was great, and the atmosphere is spot on. Nicely decorated with the requisite Indian music and monitors showing Indian films. We enjoyed the starter they brought us. I want to say papadams, as that's what usually comes, but this was different. The "chips" were reminiscent of fried wonton strips that typically come at Chinese food restaurants, served with a delicious, savory, and heavily garlic-laden chutney. It was delicious. The good times ended there...we also ordered a Masala Dosa and Veggie Lamb Curry. The dosa filling was good and tasty, but the dosa wrapper itself was a little "batter-y" tasting if that makes sense, and was hard to cut. The Veggie Lamb Curry was inedible. There was a restaurant in the San Fernando Valley that served Vegan Lamb Samosas, which I had in mind when ordering this. (Those were truly fantastic...) But this curry had very little flavor besides the spice, and the "meat" itself was weirdly squishy and not pleasant to eat. I usually love dishes like this, but I had to stop eating it. The spice level was unusual...we asked for medium but it came out super-spicy. We thought we'd supplement with an order of Saag Paneer, which is our litmus test for Indian restaurants...we asked for it mild, and it came with no spice whatsoever. There's got to be a middle ground between no spice and the super-spicy "medium" that the Veggie Lamb Curry had. The Saag also didn't taste that fresh...usually in a Saag paneer, the spinach blends with the other spices in the dish to create a unique flavor...in this case it just tasted like spinach and not so much like a Saag Paneer we'd had anywhere else. We also had the rice of the day, which came with some aromatics, peas and carrots. It honestly looked a little sad...the peas and carrots were not fresh (or abundant)...glancing at the biriyani on their website, which has a beautiful-looking, bright rice dish...this just didn't compare. We also had an order of plain naan, and this was really good. (Credit where credit is due.) There are a couple of other Indian places up here in the SCV, and we would pick them easily over what we were served here.
I liked this place... We ordered a lot of items.. I've listed out only a few here... I feel the chicken tikka flavors were not deep inside (due to less marination) and paneer could've been more soft. On the other side, all other items were of quality and taste. Seekh Kabob and their non alcoholic drink offerings were great. Would love to visit again.
I am going to start this with Indian food is not my favorite and rarely something I seek out. But sometimes things have a way of seeking you out. I happened by the great Indian kitchen and in the middle of a hangry experience. Gave it a shot on the weekend for lunch and will come back again and again. They have a $21 lunch buffet with so many choices. chicken, lamb vegan vegetable you name it they have something for you. I wasn't prepared to enjoy it as much as I did. If I was ready I would have taken more photos. The staff was very helpful and there were plenty of staff to help. They played Bollywood shows on tv and music videos. The buffet domes with soda and tea so drinks can be included or you can order something else. The chicken dishes and the rice were so good. I could still be there enjoying the garlic naan where every order is made fresh. This was a great find and it's easy to see why it is rated so high.
Five stars all around!! The lovely staff was so sweet and caring to my sister, who has Celiacs Disease, and came out to personally greet her and let her know which of their dishes/sauces were gluten friendly. Most of them were, which is a relief! Now, the star of the show--the food. This is hands down the best Indian food I've tried in all of SCV. We tried their Butter Chicken, Murg Biryani, Garlic Naan, and Masala Dosa. We shared between two people and had lots of leftovers! Butter Chicken: Perfectly creamy and sweet with a nice spiced tang as an aftertaste. I was scooping up the sauce with the savory garlic naan! So so delicious. Murg Biryani: This has a nice, savory, curry flavor and another spiced kick at the end! The chicken was perfectly tender and all pieces of white and dark meat for unique textural elements. Masala Dosa: Came with a myriad of creamy, tangy, and spicy sauces! This was a simple dish with peppered cooked potatoes encased in a crispy dough wrapping. So so delicious on its own, but the sauces really completed the dish! Garlic Naan: The perfectly cooked, stretchy and soft addition to the overall meal! Buttered, garlicky GREATNESS! Perfect for scooping up sauces with. 10/10. Overall, the staff, the attentiveness of both dine-in and take-out orders, and the food were all outstanding. I cannot wait to return to this establishment! A true gem of SCV. Thank you to the workers at Great Indian Kitchen for being so generous and welcoming to my party of all different diets and orders!!
When you dine here you are in a family owned and operated restaurant with recipes handed down from grandma. No dyes in the food and food are instead full of flavor made fresh daily. Service was five star and the overall feel makes you think you are home I was surprised they make there deserts on premise even the ice cream . Music is a little loud but then it's part of what makes this place fun.
After a long day at Six Flags Magic Mountain, we wanted a full sit down meal and Great Indian Kitchen had some amazing reviews. We were greeted with complimentary crackers and some kind of chutney. It was really good and we enjoyed it! I have never received any kind of complimentary item at an Indian restaurant to welcome us, so this started off a great note. And the tasty chutney really set the tone as well. * Gol Gappe (8 pieces) $9.95 - We've had variations of this dish but what really stood out was their sour and spicy mint flavored water. That is beyond delicious! I literally drank it all up and have been trying desperately to find recipes on how to make it. It was SO good. * Masala Dosa $15.95 - This was pretty good and it's served with a spiced potato curry. We ended up ordering a second one. * Lamb Curry $19.95 - This was good stuff on basmati rice or with naan. * Bhindi Ki Sabzi $17.95 - It was our first time having this classic Punjabi dish and it was good as well. * Garlic Naan $4.95 * Basmati $6.95 Food overall was really enjoyable and I think often of that flavored water that accompanied the gol gappe. Service was okay. We sat at a rectangular four top and I found it annoying how the younger server would bring items over my shoulder when there was a more obvious open space for him to serve us. I think this is a basic training issue that could be fixed. There is a 3% surcharge for using credit cards. 4.5 stars
We drove out from Burbank on a perfect, light traffic Memorial Day evening, based on the great reviews, and they didn't disappoint! It's a cute little place with Bollywood clips on one tv and Cricket on another. Service was good and great conversation with the charming Manu. We had a delicious Dahi Puri, Samosas, chicken Tikka Madala, Chicken Korma, Basmati and Naan. Everything was great, and my wife even proclaimed it was maybe the best Korma, ever! This is a little gem that I highly recommend!
Wow. It's difficult to come by good Indian food, but this place is really good. Went around 3 pm, after buffet style was over. Restaurant had one other person inside, service was quick and attentive. Interior was decent and had some hanging plants around the sides. Let's get to the food. Started off with some little fried like chips with a garlic paste sauce that was on the house, really tasty! Vegetable Samosa - 10/10 DELICIOUS! Spiced absolutely perfectly! Genuinely really good, and the sauce was extremely tasty (really loved the red one specifically, I think it's tamarind?). Interesting shape too. I wish you guys would make chicken samosas too, could take it to a 10000/10! Lamb Saag - 8/10 Really good! The lamb was quite good, not chewy (which is hard to come by). Could have been a little more tender, and the sauce itself could have been a bit creamier, but very solid. Garlic naan - 9/10 It's good garlic naan, enough said! Onion Kulcha - 8/10 Tasty onion kulcha! Lachha Paratha - 8/10 Good buttery flaky bread Ginger Ice Cream - 10/10 GET THIS, SO GOOD! Didn't expect to like it as I don't particularly care for ginger, but both gf and I LOVED IT! Get this! Kheer - 3/10 (GF rating 8/10) Never had this before, but for a rice pudding was not expecting this. Was extremely watery, like soupy. Definitely thought it would be thicker. Cardamom flavor was far too strong as well, not my thing. Gf loved it though! In fact she thought it paired great with the ginger ice cream.
Still the best Indian food in SCV. The servers are always so friendly and the restaurant feels like you've taken a trip to India. Absolutely love this place.
I went to the lunch buffet here last summer because I kept seeing the signage and wanted to try it out. The building was pretty spacious. Seats weren't densely packed so it feels like there is a lot of room. I came on and got seated immediately. The buffet had a lot of vegetarian/vegan options. I went for the vegetable biryani, saag paneer, chicken pakora, chicken tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and vegetable korma. Garlic naan was not a part of the buffet spread but was delivered separately by the waiter. It had a good garlic flavor and was warm but not too buttery. I liked the vegetable biryani and the vegetable korma. The korma was tender and very flavorful. The saag paneer tasted a bit off to me and my first plate of chicken masala was a bit dry. After they refilled the chicken masala, I got another serving and it was much better and more tender. They also had a small desert selection but it was nothing to write home about. I also saw a dead cockroach outside the bathroom door but I think it just crawled in from outside to escape the heat and died. Overall I think what makes this place attractive is the value. The buffet is pretty affordable and allows you to fill yourself up with a variety of food.
Pro tip: bring cash as they charge a 3% surcharge on the final amonut (after tax and tip) for credit cards This is an affordable spot for Indian lunch buffet with delicious food! They offer the lunch buffet 11-3 everyday. When we went on Tuesday around noon, it wasn't that crowded with only 2-3 other tables occupied. On weekdays, the buffet costs $17.95 per person and comes with your choice of chai or soft drink. On weekends (Fri to Sun), it costs $19.95 per person, and in addition to the chai or soft drink, you can opt for a glass of champagne as well. They had a good selection of veg and non-veg dishes along with an assortment of chutneys and raita. On the day I went, they had the following mains, to give you an idea of their selection: biryani - vegetarian and chicken chicken tikka masala chicken curry fish vindaloo tandoori chicken dal makhani rajma (kidney bean) shahi paneer mixed veg curry pakora - veg and chicken My favorites were the chicken tikka masala, the chicken curry, the rajma / kidney bean curry, and the mixed veg curry. The tandoori chicken was good as well. As for the others, the fish vindaloo was too spicy for me, the dal makhani bland, and the gravy for the shahi paneer was too sweet. You can also order plain or garlic naan to eat with lunch in addition to the basmati rice and poori available at the buffet. They offer fresh fruit, so I ended my meal with orange slices, but they also have Indian desserts like kheer (rice pudding) and halwa. Service was good. Because it was never super busy in the restaurant, the servers checked on us often and collected finished plates. They also refilled waters / soft drinks quickly as well.
If I could give 6 stars, I would. Sahej was so hospitable, greeted us as soon as we walked in and got the 6 of us sat. We felt like family-- and every single item we ordered on the menu was made with the utmost care, bursting with flavor. We ordered so many things to family-style-- and I can confidently say you can't go wrong with any of it here. The ambiance is a beautifully, warm lit atmosphere with bursts of color (pictured)-- I love how much thoughtfulness is placed in the space. Wheelchair accessible, located in a strip mall with tons of parking. We came here after our Six Flags trip and plan to make this our stop on the way home every time we go! Thank you so much, Great Indian Kitchen!
I went here yesterday and it's $20 for the lunch buffet, which is a steal. It includes a glass of champagne, hot, chai tea, or rose milk tea, all that you can get iced or hot. Service was very friendly. The garlic naan was like the best I've had. Even their plain chicken they noted doesn't have food coloring and it sure tasted delicious! I had two huge plates and I was so full. The place was very clean, which I appreciate and that includes the bathroom.

Back again- this is my favorite local spot for Indian food and love coming here for a solo meal! Amazing food and great service! Love that the patio is dog-friendly. Their samosas are unmatched and the lunch specials are a fantastic deal- great portions! I look forward to trying their lunch buffet which rotates specials each day :) read more

My boyfriend and I were craving Indian food before we went back home to the valley and we found this place. Safe to say my craving was fulfilled. Every was a 12/10 and the service here was so good. With every bite, it was followed with a "omg this is so good." This place is so good. We ordered samosas, aloo tikki, mango lassi, butter chicken with garlic naan and masala dosa. I was even able to try gol gappe that I've been seeing on my fyp. I really loved how the restaurant was decorated. It gave off an elegant and cozy vibe. read more

I was hesitant to try a new Indian restaurant. It's hard to live up to an Indian restaurant I've been eating at for 10 years in Westlake Village, but surprisingly Great Indian Kitchen does! Family and mom cooked food. Chicken Saag and Masala were delicious! The consistencies were perfect. Lots of chicken and very filling. The staff were excellent, and the restaurant was super clean. I definitely will go back. If you like can have food, you have to try Great Indian Kitchen! read more

Love that this place is family owned, and all the recipes are straight from Grandma. She even came out to our table and said hello. The staff is family from Father who owns, to sons who were our great servers. So very polite and can truly say this place was authentic in the flavors and spices that come from India. Can't wait to come back and try something else on the menu oh and you want the most delicious made by Grandma dessert, try the mango ice cream. FANTASTIC! read more

We were heading back to SF fr Disneyland and were craving Indian food. We found this spot and saw it had great reviews and good prices. Man! Are we ever glad we stopped! It was SO good! The family who runs this restaurant are all so fun and friendly! We had 3 vegetarian's and one meat eater in our group and we all loved this buffet! About $17-18 per person was a great deal for how full we got. The place is so clean, restrooms well appointed, food was fresh and we loved how they explained they do not use dyes, so all of the colors you see are natural. For example, the carrot dessert was a natural orange, as opposed to other spots that have really orange colored carrot dessert or very red (like char shu) chicken. We are absolutely making sure to make this a regular lunch stop whenever we are on I5 on route to/in Southern California. read more

Homemade Indian food direct from grandma's kitchen. Great Indian Kitchen, family owned and operated is the first and only Indian food in SCV that I crave. Upon dining in, the lovely family takes so great care of their guests and are so attentive throughout the whole sitting. You can tell how much they love providing SCV with their home cooking. This is not an exaggeration either, as grandma is the chef in charge in the kitchen for all of this delicious food. Having been in the SCV Hub, they have been secretly serving for quite a while, but I did not hear of Great Indian Kitchen until they opened up their own standalone restaurant. Now I've been multiple times for dining in and take out and everything is so delicious each time. If it's your first time, the tandoori mixed grill is a great item to share for the table so you all taste the various tandoori grilled meats. Make sure you try them with the green chutney!However, you can't beat any of their curries either. They are all remarkable. Chicken Tikka Masala is always a winner, but the Chicken Makhni was so delicious this last time too. I'm hitting the Lamb Rogan Josh next time. Add a curry with the Rice of the Day and a Garlic Naan or Onion Kulcha and you're in heaven. To drink, they have a delicious drink called Nimbu Pani. It was so refreshing. That said, they also have a nice list of Indian beers, my favorite being HIT. It was truly a "hit". Go ahead and book a table and treat yourself to an epic family dinner at the Great Indian Kitchen. read more

TL;DR...What a wonderful experience at this brand new Indian restaurant here in Santa Clarita. Delicious homemade recipes (from mom's kitchen) with all natural spices and no crazy colors. Full scoop: So we had a few Sunday morning errands to run and decided on an Early lunch, since we hadn't eaten breakfast. LeeAnn mentioned the new Indian place next to our favorite Lebanese and Filipino restaurants as a choice, since they have a buffet available. I haven't had Indian in quite a while and was all in. The location - the site of many failed Italian restaurants - is next to The Hub, where this place actually got its local start and has a nice vibe to it. Lots of colorful art and vibrant paint, along with Bollywood music videos, make it a fun place to eat. As for the food, it was fantastic. I'm doing a no carb diet right now, so the mixed grill was perfect for me. It was a lot, big cuts of sausage, lamb, boneless white meat and bone in dark meat, plus shrimp. But it was the spices that sealed the deal. So much flavor. I got it medium spicy and it was hot enough without hurting the flavor. LeeAnn got the buffet and loved the choices, including the chicken tikka and paneer masala. And we both really loved their sauces, like the tomato chutney and the tamarind chutney. Both very sweet and complimentary to the grilled meats. Wish I could have tried the naan and the biryani, they looked and smelled terrific. She really enjoyed them. What I think we enjoyed the most was the multiple conversations we had with the family members who own this restaurant. All of them seemed genuinely happy to talk to customers and share their story. We learned about the restaurant's origins in San Diego and Woodland Hills, before coming here. We learned about the owner's mother, who created all of the recipes and still cooks every day. But mostly we learned that this is a labor of love for an entire family. And that will always bring us back. Make sure you go to great Indian kitchen, you will not be sorry. Easily five out of five. read more

If you like authentic Indian food, look no further than "Great Indian Kitchen." The food was delicious and homemade. The family and mother cook all the food, no food coloring is used. We tried many items from the buffet and every item was just very delicious and outstanding. The Lamb Vindaloo was outstanding and delicious. I have had this dish at other restaurants, but the Lamb Vindaloo here beats them all hands down. Really, really delicious. You've got to try it. The staff were very friendly, warm, and made us feel very welcome. So far this summer we have been there three times. Truly this is the best Indian Restaurant in the Santa Clarita area. read more

this is the highest rated restaurant ive ever seen online and i made the trip to check it for myself. i did the lunch buffet though and that was good! it's pretty lowkey and chill. food was good, not a LOT of options but good enough with some variety for a lunch buffet. surprisingly didnt care much for tikka masala but everything was cooked well and no meats were dry. my favorite food was surprisingly the lamb korma! this was so good! so tasty! their vegetables were also nice. and they had multiple sauce options and even a little dessert area and i looooved their gulab jamun and halwa was soooo good i went back for more. garlic naan is included w the buffet but tbh i didnt really taste much garlic - it had garlic but it wasnty super tasty maybe needed more oil. what i liked the most was they took care of the buffet even if there werent a lot of people and even refilled it within less than an hour til buffet ends. all the food was hot still and the server was easy to get attention. for 15.99, it was a great deal! would definitely go again and try their regular dining! read more
