Came around 11:30 on memorial day for the 18$ buffet. Good amount of ppl already but continued to…read morefill up later and eventually had a wait. Good amount of variety, i think like 3 veg curries + 2 diff vegetables, and 3 meat curries (goat chicken 2x). Also had tandoori chicken, samosas, fried cauliflower(?) and like mango pudding and stuff. Tikka masala chicken was pretty good, very heavy tho but was good. Goat curry was also decent, goat not super tender tho. They gave us 3 dishes of naan for 5 ppl. Service is decent, the ppl jus walking around picking up dirty dishes very frequently and pretty attentive. Overall pretty good place for indian buffet! 18$ is cheap tbh and i think its a bit cheaper on weekdays(?)

The flavor is always consistent, and every bite hits the spot. You also can't skip the chicken tikka naan, it's a must-order every time we come here. It pairs perfectly with the biryani and is absolutely delicious. The service is always excellent, and the hospitality is what keeps us coming back. Everyone is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home. This place is truly a hidden gem in Huntington Beach. Great food, great people, and a great experience every time. We absolutely love this place! Thanks to our server (DIPESH) for giving us a great experience

I do wish the restaurant had slightly better ventilation though bc I smelled a lot like the food after I left Spinach dip naan: 4/5 very rich and I liked the mint sauce a lot Paneer tikka: 3/5 this was decent but just not one of my fav dishes in general Chicken vindaloo: 5/5 I liked this dish a lot

Despite having ordered from here a few times (and the food being) we just dined in on a Saturday…read moreafternoon and had an amazing experience. The menu is a mix of southern and northern Indian staples and the usual CTM for a British influence. The food uses very high quality ingredients and is properly spiced for anyone who likes Indian food. The servers are very knowledgeable and friendly and they were all able to pinpoint vegan dishes without having to explain what you are looking for. The inside of the restaurant was a great surprise as it's a white table cloth setting - highly unusual for Indian restaurants in Southern California and much more typical to the North East of the country. Definitely a top spot for Orange County if you want high-quality food and an upscale experience.

We definitely will be back to try different things.

We were the first to enter as soon as they opened and we decided to try the dosas. I ordered the Mysore dosa and my friend got the masala dosa. We also ordered the fried pepper corn from the appetizer menu. It was fantastic. The dosas were crisp and tasty. We really enjoyed it. As we were eating the crowds started slowly increasing and by the time we left the restaurant was pretty full. It's a nice little restaurant, clean and tidy and service was quick and the servers were friendly and welcoming. I will definitely go back soon and I must try the biryani. Highly recommended this restaurant.

Service is wonderful. This review is for a catering order…read more We ordered 20 butter chicken burritos (and they offered to turn the order into 40 mini burritos. Perfect!). The burritos individually wrapped and were the right size for the parents, though even at mild, the butter chicken was a little spicy to me. I asked about allergens, and the lady let me know that they were going nut free in a week and everything would no longer have nuts. The butter chicken does contain dairy in the form of queso. We also ordered a tray of the corn bhel (this was AMAZING) and mixed salad (in hindsight, probably not the best order for a bunch of four and five year olds). Both are dairy-free and nut-free. The food was delivered promptly to the venue exactly on time. I paid for the order via Zelle when I placed the order.

What did I just eat?…read more I'm genuinely confused after eating at Maast Indian in Irvine, because I don't know how something can look so promising on the outside and taste so disappointing on the inside. I was skeptical walking in, not gonna lie. The place wasn't exactly packed -- maybe three tables had people and there was one person waiting on an order -- but I figured hey, every new spot deserves a fair shot. The interior actually looks really nice. Clean, modern, good layout, good lighting... it feels like a place that should be delivering quality food. Then I ordered the Tandoori Chicken "Panini Sandwich". First of all... $15 for a sandwich like that is wild. And if you're going to charge $15, the food better be memorable in a good way. This was memorable in the worst way. The flavor was just off. The chicken didn't taste like tandoori should. It didn't have that smoky, spiced kick you expect -- it tasted bland and kind of weird, like the seasoning didn't know what it wanted to be. The whole sandwich felt thrown together, and the "panini" part didn't add anything except disappointment. And what really got me was the value. No fries. No chips. Nothing on the side. Just a sandwich. For $15. During lunch hours. That's crazy. For that same price, I can go to Curry Hut, Curry Time, or other grab-and-go Indian spots and get a full combo plate that actually fills you up and tastes like Indian food is supposed to taste. This wasn't even in the same league. This wasn't a "maybe I ordered the wrong thing" situation. This was a "how did this make it onto the menu" situation. I hate leaving negative reviews because I understand how hard it is to run a small business, and I'm not here to tear anyone down. But the food needs a serious reality check. The presentation and the space are great -- but the kitchen needs to match that same standard. If the owner sees this, I'd honestly love to talk. Feel free to reach out. And for anyone reading this: you know I don't throw out 1-star reviews like that. The only reason this isn't a 1 is because I genuinely don't want to hurt a small business. But this experience was not good.

The chicken tikka masala was not anything spectacular as I have had better elsewhere. But it definitely hit the spot. The samosa and the paneer were stars as each bite produced additional flavors which continued to build on each other. I could just eat these two dishes forever. We tried the dosa and the goat. The dosa was perfectly crispy when it was hot. I personally didn't enjoy eating it as leftovers the next day. But I couldn't stop eating it and dipping it in all the curries and sauces when it was piping hot. The goat surprised me as I'm not a huge fan of lamb or goat. But the flavor profile and the spices made this a dish that was more flavorful than our usual go to tikka masala. Will definitely come here again and again.
