    Mango lassi
    Kanak G.

    This thing looks like it understood the assignment and then arrived in full Shah Rukh Khan 90s charisma: dramatic, sweet, impossible to ignore, and somehow both over-the-top and perfect at the same time. The mango is rich and velvety, the color alone promising grandeur before the first sip even lands, and that swirl on top feels like the beverage equivalent of a cinematic entrance. It is not merely a mango lassi; it is a full performance. Like Baadshah, it has flair. It has confidence. It has that slightly extra quality that stops being "too much" and becomes exactly right. Creamy, bright, and indulgent, it hits with the same kind of joyful energy that made those 90s SRK moments so iconic. One sip in, and suddenly life has background music. This mango lassi does not ask for attention. It commands it. Five stars, a standing ovation, and possibly its own title card.

    Great service, amazing recommendations, and extremely tasty indo-Chinese food. The gobi-Manchurian was delicious!

    Good place. Worth a visit for Indo- Chinese food with good taste and flavor. Would definitely try it

    SAAG PANEER
    Charlene S.

    Quick review: most things were pretty good. Vegetarian review: - paneer tikka masala: standard and good. - saag paneer: full of paneer - biryani: not as flavorful as I would have liked, but still not bad

    CHINESE FRIED RICE
    Harpreet S.

    Great food and great service. The scheuan momos what is tea and crispy chicken and chicken fried rice good as well will surely recommend this to our friends and family and visit this place again.

    Chicken 65

    My third time here and the place is great. Tucked away in a small plaza with plenty of parking is this gem of a restaurant. Chicken 65 is flavorful. Their paneer tikka masala is perfection. The biryani is everything I could ever ask for. I got the chicken one and it's great. Come here for their buffet! They got a nice selection and if they have something not on their buffet menu--you can order from the menu as well. Their mango lassi is so good. Arguably the best one I've ever had at all of the Indian restaurants I've been to. I dream about this from time to time. The restaurant itself has plenty of seating. There's a TV showcasing music videos. Right now it's FIFA season, there's a soccer game playing. It's clean here. Service here is great. They're very polite and very attentive to your table. If you are looking for an Indian restaurant to go to--COME HERE!

    Looking for a weekend buffet where you can try a bit of everything at a great price -- or just a fun family spot everyone will love? Nanking Indian Buffet hits the spot for just $20! A great variety -- curry chicken, fried rice, grilled drumsticks, and desserts like mango mousse and fresh fruit. We also tried their mango lassi -- super fresh and delicious! And the best part? The live band and performances! They sang happy birthday to a guest and had a beautiful dancer who engaged my little one -- she absolutely loved it! Such a special family memory. Ig: socalhkfoodies

    Paneer
    Jason S.

    We had dinner here the other night. There is plenty of available parking. The ambiance of the restaurant is warm and inviting. The service was very friendly. We started with a mango lassi to drink. It is a delicious yogurt smoothie and you will need it to help with some of the spices later on. We got a garlic naan and some paneer. The naan was huge and the paneer was warm and delicious. The two pair so well together. We got the Kung Pao Cashew Chicken. Spicy and delicious with lot of chicken and vegetables. We also got some steamed rice to go with this. The hakka noodles were next. These are lo mein noodles prepared Bombay style. A large portion and warm and comforting lo main. Last we got the chicken Szechuan momo. This is a Nepali dish. Momo is the word for dumplings. After this I only want my dumplings prepared Szechuan style. The delicious spices made me keep going back for more. A great place for Indo-Chinese food. It changed the way I look at Chinese food and the different ways to combine it with other cuisines.

    This place is in a great corner spot. Plenty of parking when my friend and I got there! We got there right at opening, and everyone was very welcoming when we went in. As soon as we were seated they gave us waters, and they were able to give us great recommendations! It's a decently sized restaurant inside, they had light and dark contrasting colors, which is nice to see. Just a few things we ordered: Royal Lassi - this Mango yogurt drink is very smooth, and refreshing. I wouldn't mind having this as a dessert drink. Basamati Rice - I love rice, this was cooked perfectly, the best complement to the main meal. Kung Pao Cashew Chicken (dry) - this has to be my favorite version of Kung Pao chicken. The spices and seasonings were great. The chicken was tender. The veggies were amazing (water chestnuts are my favorite ) Chicken Szechuan Momos - oh my goodness, I can't with this dish, it's just too good. The chicken filling in the dish, just everything about it was amazing! Everything here, amazing, if you love Indian and Chinese food, please try this place out, you won't be disappointed!

    Great Indian food in Artesia!…read more Ever since moving to San Jose, I've been craving Indian food when I visit home, and Curry Lounge did not disappoint. We ordered two combo plates, which were more than enough for two people. The portions were generous! The butter chicken was lovely, and it definitely leans into the tomato flavors. However, the two showstoppers for me were the chicken tikka masala and vegetable samosas. They were incredibly flavorful! I also ordered the Masala Chai, which was affordable and tasted authentic. Service was quick and polite. This place is definitely appropriate for a casual lunch or dinner if you're stopping by the Artesia area. Only tough part is finding parking, but the downtown parking lot behind it had technical difficulties when we went, so we parked for free.

    7/3/2026 First time…read moreat Curry Lounge. SAMOSAS (VEGETABLE / POTATO) Good curry and spices that hits you at the end. Strong cumin flavor with visible cumin seeds. The flavor is a bit spicier than I'm used to. The potatoes and peas were fluffy and the outer pastry was flaky with a light crisp. Enjoyed every bite! Came with mint chutney and tamarind chutney. Sadly, the mint chutney tasted a bit funny, like it gone bad. The tamarind chutney was very sweet. I usually eat samomas plain without any chutneys, so it wasn't a problem. The samosas were very good! I would reorder these! PLAIN RICE Not mushy, distinct separation of rice, good texture and it was done well. CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA Got this in medium heat, the spicy level was light, just a light hit of spice. I think I could have handled a bit more heat. Overall tomato-based flavor with a bit of creaminess and the chicken were cut bigger, which was nice and moist. There was a bit of smokiness at the end as well. It was delicious with the rice. This was good, but I've had more depth of flavor from other places. LACHHA PARATHA Haven't tried this before. This had light flaky layers. Light in oil flavor. Overall, it wasn't bad, yet I wanted more flakiness and crisp which I did not get. A touch of salt would have been nice too. This was a bit bland. One thing they did not add to my takeout order is utensils. I did see takeout utensils on the way out, so not sure if they want customers adding their own utensils, but it would have been nice if they packed them in your takeout order. CUSTOMER SERVICE Ordered to go via phone. Early afternoon order on a Friday. Called through their number listed on Google. Friendly over the phone and my order were all correct. Order was ready when I arrived. Friendly service all around. Really enjoyed the curry, rice and samosas! Will definitely return to try more curries in the future! PARKING I do not know if there was any parking in the back of the restaurant, but I luckily found street parking close to the restaurant. It seems there is only street parking for most of the restaurants and stores located on that street.

Diving into the details - the restaurant decor is quite formal and has always been kind of surprising to be given that I often come for casual meals. The staff are well dressed in white button ups and always very polite so it's good vibes all around. If you know me, I'm nothing if not predictable. I always get the butter chicken and unapologetically so. IT IS SO GOOD. I refuse to be shamed into trying other things and if that makes me basic, so be it. In case you haven't guessed, I'm also always getting their garlic naan as well. I've tried other dishes before but nothing beats the chicken. One thing I will say is the spiciness fluctuates every time even though I always ask for medium so do with that what you will.

    The India Restaurant is located in Artesia on the block with all of the amazing Indian restaurants…read more My boyfriend and I were somewhat in the area, and we made a slight detour to explore the area. This was such a great spontaneous discovery. They have a small parking lot in the front where we parked, but then we saw later on that they also have additional parking in the back if you don' see spots in the front. Upon entering the staff was welcoming. The gave us a few tables to choose from that were cleaned and appropriate for 2 people. I just want to say service was impeccable our whole time there. Everyone on their team took turns checking on us, making sure our waters were refilled, and that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. So nice!! As we explored the menu, we saw the combination dinners that allowed us to get more variety, which we love. We both picked a different combo so we could share and try more things. My boyfriend enjoys tandoori so he went with the Mix Tandoori Grill ($26.95) that comes with an assortment of Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Seekh Kabab, Chicken Tikka, Fish Tikka served in a sizzling platter on a bed of onions with naan, rice, and gulab jamun. So much food! I picked the India Special ($24.95) which comes with chicken tikka, the choice of lamb or chicken curry which I opted for the chicken, veg, korma, raita, rice, naan, and gulab jamun. What a FEAST!! For the naan I asked for the garlic naan and it was INCREDIBLE. Wow! Might be THEE best Indian food I have ever enjoyed. Between the two of our orders I felt like I had the variety I have when I go eat at Indian buffets. My boyfriend loved the tandooris platter. All of the proteins were cooked perfectly. I assume they were prepped separately to get to the right cooking temp. So funny because my boyfriend was eating the rice while I was indulging in the naan. Dipping the naan in the curry and the korma. Nom Nom Nom! So fun and so delicious. My boyfriend was even saying this is one of the best meals he had in a while. I was so full when the gulab jamun dessert came out at the end but it was so delicious I still ate all of it. Without a doubt the best execution of this dessert I have ever had. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves craving Indian food.

The butter chicken is my favorite, I know it's the most basic b Indian food but everything I've tried has been awesome. Sangeetha's cooking has made me ok with trying some vegetarian food when I thought I'd never like any non meat-centric dish. Swing by, try something new or enjoy something old. Relevant - it's not super spicy, but that's ok to me, it's more accessible to people that might be turned off by excessive spice - I have some scorpion pepper powder that I add to bring the heat, and it doesn't hurt the flavor that I've come to love. They're not open Mondays, but hey - she deserves time off! A suggestion if I may - grab an extra bowl of butter chicken alongside whatever else you get, and throw a fried egg or two on top the next morning for breakfast. DOES NOT HAVE BANANAS! As a professional simian that is of note, but not a negative ;) There are random snacks I've never seen before, I've tried a few and have been happy with what I've sampled. The bottles of mango lassi are super tasty and for me, it helps my heartburn.

I probably will not be returning, but it wasn't bad. I think non-south Asians would really like it. Edit: I was going to delete my review, but I got a private message from the owner with a ton of attitude, asking me to take this down, but I don't feel like that's ethical. I don't think three stars is bad. So just to restate. The food is not bad. But I'm not going to take this review down because I don't feel like it's appropriate for the owner to message you privately with an attitude and try to strong-arm you into taking down the review. I have left plenty of reviews about restaurants in Little India, and not once as anybody messaged me with the tone that you have used with me. So I'm leaving it up. Live and learn. Edit: I got a notification that the owner continued to add to her comment, so to answer her questions, I don't remember what I got because it was several months ago, but I remember that it was just okay. It wasn't bad but your approach to dealing with your customers is. I don't think that Yelp has the option of messaging people so you can come at them with a shitty attitude and strong-arm them into trying to change their review. You're honestly just making yourself look worse.

The Malai Chicken, same thing. No flavor. Just salt. The samosa looked very appetizing. But then you get this pungent aroma of olive oil. I think they fry it in olive oil or some oil that's not meant for samosa. Because it stinks and the flavor is awful. The yellow daal was meh so was the Jerra rice and naan. The only got the basmati rice correct. I spent $88 on a lunch no one ate after 1-2 bites. What a waste. I guess I'm used to Kamal Palace where they make really good Indian food. I was giving this place a try and regret it.
