    SAAG PANEER

    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

    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

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

    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!

    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.

    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!

    There's no shortage of Indian food in Artesia, and for a long time, my friend group and I were loyal to just one spot. But we finally decided it was time to branch out and give the rest of the local Indian restaurants a fair shot. First up: Nanking--and wow, we may have just discovered a new favorite. This place is tucked away in an unsuspecting location--not directly visible from the street--but trust me, if you know, you know. And if you don't... you definitely should. What sets Nanking apart is that it's not just your standard Indian fare--this place specializes in Indo-Chinese fusion, and it's absolutely a win. The dishes brought out bold flavors, spice, and that perfectly craveable comfort food energy. Honestly, we were all shocked by how much we loved it. Everyone around the table was throwing out ratings like "20 out of 10." Favorites? That Paneer Chili Sizzler and the Hakka Noodles had me dreaming about them before we even left the table. The naan was pillowy perfection, and the okra and chicken tikka were both big hits. The service was quick and friendly, and the interior was unexpectedly sleek and upscale--clean, comfortable, and perfect for a group hangout or date night. Our server let us know that they do a weekend buffet with live entertainment, so you already know we'll be back for that. If you're in Artesia and haven't tried Nanking yet--make it your next stop. This spot deserves way more attention than it gets.

    My boyfriend and I discovered this place after we drove 9 hours on a road trip back from visiting…read moremy family. We were craving Indian food and our other go-to spot is closed on Sundays. Man, this place is top tier Indian Food in Artesia, CA! We arrived at 5:30pm on a Saturday and got seated immediately. They were quick to come with water and take our order. Luckily, we already knew what we wanted so we ordered that. The wait staff was very kind and checking in on us constantly. The flavors and spice within their Punjabi Butter Chicken and Lamb Vindaloo is outstanding. This was the first time we tried the Chili Garlic Naan and I HIGHLY recommend! The Mango Lassi is always 10/10 and a perfect pairing to the spicy entrees. We had leftovers and ordered some more Jeera Rice and Chili Garlic Naan to enjoy the next day as a second meal. I highly recommend coming here if you have never had authentic Indian food to get the best experience!

    I had a huge craving for some Indian food as I hadn't had any in a while. This was long overdue !…read moreMy takeout order included chicken tikka masala, which was so yummy (I do prefer a more tomato-y flavor base but it was still seasoned so well) ! However, I don't think the entree should be almost $30 and rice isn't even included. I also ordered cheese naan on the side which wasn't the softest, fluffiest naan I've ever had but it still did the job. (: The staff was friendly and welcoming & the restaurant looked clean & had pretty decor. Overall, my food was tasty, my craving was satisfied & I would order from here again, maybe even try the butter chicken next time.

Everything they ordered was delicious. I sort of third wheel myself to their dinner plans so they ordered before I arrived. I'm honestly not a fan of curry but they ordered 3 types of curry and I loved all of them! & the Naan -- OMGGGG. They ordered the garlic naan and 10/10. Sooo good. The inside is clean and well decorated. Lighting is dimmed which I love! The waiters were attentive but also gave us space -- does that make sense? They were quick & welcoming. Overall great experience. I'll be bringing my husband next time. Spacious parking, there's also parking in the back of the building & street parking.

    Update as of August 16th, 2026…read more We haven't been there in a few months, so we decided to take my mom. We were welcomed by new staff there. Let me tell you, the staff before was fine, but this staff now is excellent. We had the opportunity to meet Aditya, who was our server, and he was incredible, along with this young lady, who is probably one of the sweetest waitresses we've met. They had a few other people working that were very friendly, and going to the restaurant is even more enjoyable. Food is always going to be good there, and they are very consistent. India Restaurant is our go to restaurant in Artesia Service is fast Food is very tasty Chicken Tikka is my favorite out of all Indian restaurants I have been to Keema samosas very good Bindi, Naan, Tandoori chicken is all good We have never had a bad meal in the last 20 years we have been going Don't do the buffet
