    Great portions for the prices, and if you go to their website, you'll come across a 10% off discount when ordering for the first time online. Some entrees even come with a small side of rice. You can also select the level of spicy. The parking lot is very small, and there are quite a few restaurants sharing the building, so in the evenings you might have trouble finding parking. It's also a one way. Totally worth making a trip here!

    First of all the food was great. Everyone in my party devoured their meal. The inside is not much to look at though so this is the perfect place to come in some sweats and pig out.

    Madras and piece of samosa.

    Probably the worst vindaloo I've ever had. It tasted like spicy tomato sauce, no vinegar, no seasoning. Wife had the Madras, it was also bland and thin. The garlic naan was decent, and the samosa crust had a great texture, but the filling was extremely bland. Definitely dissapointed and will not be returning. There are too many good Indian restaurants in the Irvine/Tustin area.

    I almost always order the Tikka Masala.

    Great Indian food and the service is fabulous. Whenever I am in Orange County if I can, I try and stop here to enjoy a great meal. So much food I have enough for the next day as well.

    This is a very casual restaurant! Similar to almost chipotle??? Or a pizza restaurant? You order first and either sit or take out. The food came out pretty fast! There is indoor and outdoor seating. The lamb vindaloo was amazing!! Very good flavor but not spicy for a "very spicy" spice level. The chicken biryani is also very delicious!! They are so generous with the portions!! I had so much biryani left for lunch the next day! Yum yum yum! I would come again if I wanted something quick.

    I thought I did a review of this great place! We were in town for the weekend and this was across the street from our hotel. We walked across the street because the seasoning was calling us! We love Indian food so we wanted to indulge. It was quiet but the staff and restaurant was nice! Our food was delicious and quick! As we ate, another couple passed by and asked if it was good and we said absolutely a must!

    Garlic Naan

    Great food! We got all of this for $65. A little pricey for me but the portions were great I had a lot leftover for dinner! Our server was so kind and hand cut a side of onions for me. I wish I had his name but he was working Sunday at around 4pm :)

    Here is the picture of the rope I found in your butter chicken since you don't believe me.

    Super super nasty and dirty in there. The city needs to check this place out. The food was horrible. I hope we don't get sick.

    I found this little gem driving on Harbor Boulevard in Costa Mesa. It is hidden in the corner of…read morethe parking lot and you may miss it if you blink. I was greeted with a smile and seated at a very nice table covered with a table cloth and minimal centerpiece. Cloth napkins are also a plus. Music was at comfortable level with enjoyable "meal" music. I walked in around 2 p.m. on a Tuesday, just in time for the lunch special. The options are a 1 dish combo or 2 dish combo. I chose the 2 dish: saag aloo and chicken vindaloo, medium spiciness for both. I also ordered a lassi, sweet. After my order was taken, it wasn't very long until my meal was served. Along with my dishes came a small salad and a bowl of rice. The portions were just right for the lunch. I have to say the dishes were very delicious. The potatoes in the saag aloo were perfectly cooked (not mushy) and the spinach with the spices are well balanced. It paired well with the garlic naan ($1 more for the garlic upgrade). I would say the same with the chicken vindaloo. The chicken was very tender and again the flavors balanced well with the naan and the rice. The texture for both "sauces" were also just right as I was able to scoop both using my naan a spoon. I ended with a small dessert, gulab jamun, to balance my meal. Again, not too sweet and flavors balanced out. In all, my food customer service experience at Andaaz was amazing and I will definitely make it a point to head back there the next time I am in Costa Mesa or just head to the area because the food is exceptional.

    Excellent food and excellent service from the friendly staff…read more Really tasty and big portions. We will come back for sure!

Upon entry, many other groups followed. Seemed like a nice and popular place. Ordered basic Indian items of butter chicken and tikka masala along with the fluffy basmati rice. Both of the curries look very similar but each have their own distinct taste. You can get hints of tomato or coconut.. The garlic naan was very soft but still flaky. Best to dip in curry. Other guests ordered sizzling plates that smelled so good! I got fomo. I want what they got. Next time! This place has a really really nice dining room with red table cloth and silverware on each table. Service is very fast. Right after ordering, food arrived like in like 5 minutes or less.

The food is delicious, though the menu prices are a little bit on the expensive side. That said, the service is super friendly, and the restaurant itself is clean and cozy. I'll likely be coming back in the future, especially for the buffet, which looks like an insanely good deal.
