FIRANGI Authentic Indian Gastropub -- What a Place!…read more Wow. I honestly walked in expecting a good Indian restaurant... but what I found was something completely different. This place isn't just a restaurant -- it's a full-blown lounge with style. First thing you notice is the vibe. Beautiful Tiffany-colored interior, elegant lighting, and a stunning marble bar that looks like it belongs in some high-end lounge in London or Dubai. Very classy, very comfortable, very cool. But wait... it gets better. POOL TABLES! And not just decoration -- actual playable tables. $1 a game! I nearly fell off my chair. I haven't played in ages. When I was younger I used to be pretty serious about pool, so naturally I had to grab a cue and see if I still had the magic. Let's just say... the spirit is still there, even if the aim needs a little polishing. They even run pool tournaments on Saturdays, which is amazing. So now suddenly dinner can turn into a little friendly competition. I'm already planning my comeback tour. Now about the food -- absolutely authentic and delicious. Real Indian flavors, beautifully presented, rich spices, and clearly prepared with care. Everything we tried was excellent and I'm already planning my next visit because I have to try the lamb. I've heard it's fantastic. A special thank-you to Sky, the lady boss of this place. She is super friendly, incredibly polite, and very professional. You can immediately tell she knows the cuisine inside and out. She explained dishes, made recommendations, and made us feel genuinely welcome. Hospitality like that makes a huge difference. So what do we have here? * Beautiful lounge atmosphere * Marble bar and stylish interior * Authentic Indian cuisine * Pool tables for $1 (yes, really) * Saturday tournaments * Fantastic hospitality Honestly, this place is a hidden gem. A perfect spot for dinner, drinks, and maybe a little pool if you're feeling competitive. Let's just say this: I will definitely be coming back... probably way too often. If you see a guy practicing pool shots while waiting for his lamb curry -- that's probably me. Highly recommended. woww

Located on Grand Avenue in the former 'Vinz' unit next to the Patio Playhouse Theater, it's nice to…read morehave an option for Indian food in Escondido. The restaurant is fairly spacious with indoor and outdoor dining, a long bar, and a couple of pool tables in a connected room/area. I found the decor/atmosphere slightly stark and more 'café' than 'gastropub'. Maybe that changes on busy evenings. The food was great, although we noticed they didn't ask about a 'spice level' -- it was a mild one-size-fits-all spice. A nice touch was a metal water vessel that was provided on the table with metal cups. The owner was friendly. The waitress was slightly odd. Wait time for food was a tiny bit slow. There's a single unisex restroom off the back patio, accessed by code. Ample parking on the surrounding streets and in free public lots. Watch out for 2-hour limit signs. If you're an Indian food lover, check out Firangi!

Our food arrived hot, fresh, and the portions were more than enough for two adults and one toddler. Plain Naan: Maybe I should have opted for the garlic one or one of their specialities but the naan was heavy and not light, airy, fluffy. Lamb Tikka Masala: Big chunks of tender lamb. We got medium spicy and it was a good amount of spice for us. Flavorful. Vegetable Pakora: Everyone enjoyed these! The dipping sauces were interesting (never had it before) but it break up the fried components of it well. Light, crispy, not oily or greasy on the hands. Tandoori Chicken: Super tender, super juicy, and well flavored chicken. Our toddler ate majority of this portion with pakora. The amount of rice given with two entrees is also a very good portion so I would avoid ordering extra rice!

We were the only people in the restaurant and we made it there in time for the lunch special, which was a bonus. I was super hungry, I ordered a mango lassi and chicken MoMo for appetizer. When they brought out the mango lassi they also surprise me with a nice little bowl of a yellow daal soup. I scarfed them both down within minutes, which I kind of regret, because by the time of the rest of the food came out, I was almost full. The lunch specials came out before the MoMo but no big deal. The lunch special is really a great value. They give you a ton of food. You get two of the lunch items with rice and naan. I ate a little bit of it, but ended up taking most of it to work for lunch the next day. I had the vegetable korma and paneer tikka masala. I didn't get any spicey because I wasn't sure how hot they were gonna make it and the vegetable korma really could've used a little bit of spice, but it was still delicious. The paneer tikka masala was outstanding, had so much flavor in it. The MoMo was also fantastic and we did eat all of those because I didn't think they were going to hold up well if we took them home. I love how they made them with almost like a little cup at the top that you could put some of the sauce in. Don't be like me though, and give them a few minutes to cool down, the broth inside the dumplings is super hot. I was so excited I bit into it a minute or two after it came out and I wish I had waited a little longer. I would absolutely return to this restaurant when I am in the area.

After seeing this place numerous times we finally decided to check it out…read more It's located in a small strip mall, so parking wasn't difficult on a Tuesday evening close to 6:00pm. 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!
