Pros: You can dine here for 16 bucks with all you can eat which is a great bargain if you want to stuff yourself. Customers kept coming and going while we ate lunch here. Cons: We didn't want the all you can eat option and spent 16 bucks on a combo meal which included curry chicken, a potato dish, steam rice, whole wheat naan. plus a yogurt dessert. The two of us shared this meal which was enough to satisfy us. The food is northern Indian and it was okay and I wish they had the regular white flour naan option. read more

Kohinoor Dhaba Restaurant - Cool air inside MAR2026 - Indian Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

So fun to have the dhaba experience (an Indian roadside restaurant) on drives in AZ/ to CA. My husband and I both ordered the Thali sets with choice of two vegetarian entrees that come all you can eat with refills. You select two entrees and get unlimited refills of those two you selected. The food was delicious. We had to be a little bit confident/firm to get going on the refills of the entrees. Judging by the number of times the guy came and asked us if we want bread or rice refills, a less prepared diner might get the impression that the free refills only applied to the bread and rice. "Bread? Rice?" became the punchline of our trip. I loved the roti bread when it was really hot, especially the darker parts and the rajma was a big hit too. We got our roti vegan without butter and a plate that's vegan other than the yogurt (you can ask for no yogurt ) Some language barrier here, at least during our visit and I wouldn't recommend it for people with severe allergies. The pickle mix on the tables was pretty good but very loosely/ poorly covered which was a tad unappealing to us. Definitely a place I would stop at again though given how well spiced the food was and for the fun cultural experience of a roadside dhaba. Very convenient that it's open 24 hours too and located in an area with not many exciting options. The entree options vary some from day to day. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite! read more

We were in town for the annual Desert Gardens Annual International Rock, Gem and Mineral Show and was in search of lunch. Imagine our surprise when this Indian spot popped up with such high ratings...we had to check it out! It was so random! When you walk in, the menu is on the wall to the left on a dry erase board. There are no prices listed, so I was concerned. You order at the register, pay for your food and take a seat. It's a pretty casual place and had a fair amount of diners there when we walked in. They also sell various Indian snacks along the wall too. There is one breakfast dish available until 12 noon - Mix Parantha (Aloo, Gobi, and Paneer) with Achaar, Butter, and Dahi. The main lunch items are the Thali Platter where you pick two dishes from either the vegetarian or non-vegetarian options; and it comes with roti, rice, yogurt and salad. They also do unlimited refills on the roti and dishes, which is insane. They do ask that each Thali Platter be for one person. The craziest part - $14.99! They also have other entree dishes - biryani, pakora, and wraps. We opted for: * Thali Platter $14.99 x 2 - Bhindi (okra) and Chicken Curry; Yellow Dal (lentils) and Chicken Curry. Flavors were so good and on point! * Fish Biryani $14.99 - Super generous order, with a lot of onions and bell peppers. * Mango Lassi - Ready to go in the fridge by the register. We didn't exactly realize there was refills on practically everything until someone came around asking us if we wanted more roti, entrees, etc. We were surprised and definitely said yes! They are super generous on the raw red onions. In retrospect, we would have chosen four different dishes instead of doubling up on the chicken curry so we could have tried one other item. There's also spicy pickles on the table that are super spicy, so watch out if you can't handle the heat! We left very satisfied with full stomachs! Definitely a steal for how much you get. read more

Had no plans to stop here but my wife somehow saw it on map and we decided to. Grabbed a few items and this place was impressive. Super welcoming staff, homely taste in the food, and the quantity is huge for the price that you pay. They do unlimited thali as well it seems but we did not get a chance to try that since we were not that hungry when we arrived here. Tea was very good but they don't do unsweetened option. Break pakoda was super delicious but it was a little oily. Focus here is certainly not healthy food, rather authentic delicious food. Highly recommended stop if you like good Indian food or you are willing to try one. read more

This is your ultimate truck stop Indian restaurant. Open 24 hours day with plated lunches, served quickly, that let you choose from a variety of daily curry options. There's both vegetarian and meat-based curry options, and it comes with bread for dipping. I wish we lived closer, because we'd be hitting up this place to grab take-out for poker nights, stopping by for lunches, and overall being frequent customers. If you're looking for a place to stop on the drive between Phoenix and LA, this is your place. Even better, the chef came out and plied his wares and we ended up with some delicious carrot pudding (okay it sounds weird but is absolutely delicious) and tea cakes for dessert. read more

This place is a combination of a restaurant and convenience store. The menu options are very limited and I was surprisingly happy to find the food was pretty decent. Portions were good for the price and prices were reasonable. I would eat here again. read more

We were happy to find an Indian place open late night; however, they were lacking in options. Service was ok, workers were apologetic that there was no more additional biriyani rice. They served us raiti instead. FYI: There were a lot of men late night but I was with a group so we were fine. Curry chicken and food was good. Prices pretty high considering the limited menu. read more

Amazing Punjabi dhaba on I-10. Quartzsite. 24 hours. And right across from the gas station off the exit. Well worth a pit stop. Friendly service and they huddle to make sure you get your food fast, piping hot and fresh. Last but not least the food! Such a highlight. Authentic North Indian food. We tried the paratha, thali, and the chicken biryani. read more

This is my first stop at an Indian "restaurant"/cafe. Stopped for breakfast and was pleasantly surprised by the parantha with yogurt. Like a big pancake, it had great flavor and hit the spot. No coffee but the tea was fine. Big selection of Indian flavored salty snacks. Definitely caters to the Indian trucker market but they treated two gringos very well. Fun experience! read more

They mean business with their dishes and every flavour is spectacular! A must try. read more

Random Indian place in the middle of nowhere. Stopped while our car was charging after my husband begged and begged after seeing all the 5-star reviews. I was hesitant. Indian food in the middle of the desert? 24hours? Sounds sketchy/dangerous for my gut lol. I stand corrected. This place is incredible. Food is bomb. Helpful cashier when we were lost regarding all the different dish options. I'm a wimp when it comes to spice levels and we asked for no spice but even that was a bit too hot for me (my fault not theirs). Bathroom is outside - basically a port-a-potty. User beware but overall clean (ish). Not really expecting Ritz Carlton level bathrooms at a location like this so it held up to my expectations given the area. What a hidden gem in Quartzsite! read more

Usually get chicken tikka masala, they did not have that here but got chicken curry and it was a similar style. It was very tasty and you could taste spice but was not overpowering. The rice was yummy, yogurt side was nice and refreshing. Service was quick and easy. Price was reasonable. & location was perfect. It's next to Love's gas station so we were able to stop to rest + pump gas + eat. Would definitely return read more

You must try this place. We ordered mixed paratha. Very good. Service is very good. You will not disappoint.

I learned recently that most of the truck drivers in this area are Sikh. That means you can find some pretty awesome Indian food by these desert truck stops. This place is no exception. The food is excellent, the service very good. My only complaint is that we live so far away and won't be back until next year. One little caution: Indian food is SPICY! We asked them to recommend something a little milder. It was still a little spicy, but ooooh sooo gooood! read more

Kohinoor Dhaba Restaurant - Yummy vegetarian dish. Husband got chicken. - Indian Near Me - Quartzsite, Arizona

Had the thali. Dishes seemed "watered down" and everything was lukewarm to cold, including the roti. Also, unsure about some other reviews about the spice level or those reviewers' spice/heat tolerance, but their dishes are definitely NOT spicy. When you're out in the "middle of nowhere," I suppose it's a nice change from having convenience store food or fast food, but would take these 5-star reviews with a HUGE grain of salt. It's "meh" at best. read more

Great food and amazing service! Conveniently located on I10 , open 24hrs. Paranthas are very filling and yummy. Definitely worth a stop!

Every item so flavorful! The peas with soft cheese the curry chicken all flavorful but not too spicy . A spicy sauce on side was offered. Very authentic flavors & very welcoming attitude from staff . The Chai tea is Delicious. More booth seating than we expected so we stayed and ate there . Lime pickles on the table and we were offered extra bread . Several staff members were genuinely interested in our opinion of the food . Our opinion is we must return as soon as possible! Even the rice was perfect lightly seasoned long grain proper Indian rice . Perfection in an unconventional location. read more

Delicious food and lovely friendly service! What an unexpected and wonderful delight!

What a nice surprise to find this restaurant between L.A. and Phoenix. By far the best dining option within miles. Nice, mostly vegetarian menu. Get a thali with chapti and rice and it's a full meal. Homemade pickles! Extremely friendly atmosphere - the owner will be happy to walk you through the menu. And wait until you see the booths - they are a piece of Vegas history! It's right off of the highway but a little hidden so make sure you map it. read more

Stopped by on our way from LA to PHX, my husband and I were blown away by the food here. They have a simple menu which I think is rotating. We had their chicken biryani which was very fluffy and flavorful, garnished with raw onions for the crunch and their thali with tori (zucchini) and dal makhani. They gave us fresh roti as well! The workers were also very nice and kind, made it feel like home. read more

What a great find I wish I lived closer. Chicken biryani was great. Mango lassi was very good. The lentils were excellent a little spicy, but I like that. I like everything spicy, but they give you yogurt on the side to cool your mouth down if need be. The paratha was good and a good value. I'm bummed I forgot to get a chai tea. The guy behind the counter seemed very nice. I'll definitely be back. I got mine to go but next time I'll probably eat there because the place is nice and clean. read more

Did you already drive away from Love's?? Turn around!!! Quiet, fast, DELICIOUS. Whatever they're making you're gonna love it. Chai tea is self-service and perfect.

Stopped by this restaurant on a spur of the moment decision while driving thru & getting gas in Quartzite, AZ. I love I Dian food and decided to try it as it had so many 5 star reviews. It was good food & friendly service. We had curry chicken & the eggplant along with their flatbread. We took it to go. Next time I'd get more flatbread as eating the dishes in traditional style with the bread really took it up a notch. Would go here again. BTW they have very nice outside bathrooms. read more
