Food was delicious, chicken was not try, curry was rich, and the naan was MASSIVE! I got the garlic naan and the cheese naan both were superb to any other place I've been so far! The cheese one you could have had alone and it would fill you up. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great place to sit and relax and annoy some great food and nice staff. read more

I've eaten in more restaurants than I can count thanks to work travel, and I've had Indian food from coast to coast. Somehow, one of the very best is hiding right here in little old Tehachapi. The chicken tikka masala is so good I'd consider putting it in a thermos and taking it on my next flight. The biryani? Let's just say if loving it is wrong, I don't want to be naan-right. Everything we've tried has been packed with flavor, perfectly cooked, and served with the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like you're eating at a friend's house--if your friend happened to be an incredible chef. Prime Bar & Grill may have "bar" in the name, but don't let that fool you. This place is quietly serving Indian food that could go toe-to-toe with restaurants in much bigger cities and come home wearing the championship belt. If you're driving through Tehachapi and skip this place, that's a curry-ous decision. Five stars. I'd give it six if they'd let me lick the tikka masala bowl in public. read more

An Indian restaurant in Tehachapi wouldn't be my first choice, but thanks to the outstanding reviews we stopped in here. My wife and I wanted a lighter lunch so we split the butter chicken and the spinach naan. All was excellent. Service was friendly, the restaurant was very clean and I'm sure the fireplace would lend a quaint atmosphere in the winter. My wife mentioned that the women's room was nice, I would say the men's room could use some work. read more

Tasty food. Always happy with what I order. Our server was very kind and made sure my daughter's food was allergy friendly. read more

Service is poor. Do not use the door dash order function. I arrived after an hour and they said they said the ticket never printed because they had never confirmed the order and sent it to the kitchen. I have tried to takeout before and that has gone poorly as well. Food is good, but I don't recommend if you're looking for something hassle free read more

Seriously good food here. Everything was super flavorful and fresh. Our waitress, Husan took great care of us and made some helpful ordering suggestions and she definitely didn't steer us wrong. read more

Not entirely sure but it looks like it could be the only Indian food restaurant in town. It has two separate spaces - the pub and the restaurant. The restaurant is spacious, relaxing, and has a fireplace, maintaining a warm atmosphere. We were immediately asked if this was our first time, and then provided some recommendations. Food came fairly quickly - maybe a 15min wait. Server was attentive to the ongoing need for water (that's what happens when ordering the hottest level of spice). Many reviews on here talked about the chicken tikka masala - I agree with the positive comments. It was delicious. The portions are large because I was able to have two full plates and still take a lot home. Just one word of warning: be prepared to suffer if picking the hottest level of spice! read more

An unassuming appearance, but fabulous Indian food. We had the rack of lamb, butter chicken, and garlic basil naan. Our desserts were Rasmalai and Gulab Jamun. We were unfamiliar with these recommended Indian desserts and both were amazing. Prime may be the best Indian food I've had. It's 200 miles from our home but became an instant favorite. read more

Service here can sometimes be hit and miss. They have a variety of food options but I am inclined to express that the Indian food is of high quality and if you like Indian food come here. It is nice that my small town can offer a good quality Indian restaurant. Also nice that while I enjoy my spicy meal my husband can enjoy basic American fair and avoid Indian food as his digestive system is a bit more delicate. You can choose your level of spiciness so you don't feel the need to put out a blazing fire in your mouth if you are not up for that level of adventure. read more

So good! We had 3 different dishes and it was all delicious! Try this place out for sure!

This review is on my hubby's and son's experience. They enjoyed their food as usual. My hubby ordered me Butter Chicken and Naan. My son and hubby ordered their dishes. Mine didn't come out with theirs, so it was forgotten. It was busy tonight because not many places were open. We asked about my dish, and she said she would order it and it would take 10-15 minutes. My guys ate their food by the time my dish came. When it was set on the table, it was definitely not what I had in the past. I put one on my plate and it was stuffed with what I later found out from server what it was. She explained I wanted the Chicken Tikki Masala. My guys were already done eating. I said forget it, I was not wanting them to wait another 15 minutes. So I didn't eat tonight. What was brought to me did not look appealing. I waited all day for this meal, It's been a hot minute since we have been here. The guys enjoyed their dishes. My server apologized about the mistake. She was nice, and I'm sure we will return. 12/25/25 read more

A great Indian cuisine restaurant. I have not been disappointed by any dish. I've ordered there. My favorites are the dinners with the three curries and all the extras, you get enough food for two meals. read more

My friends and I came here to celebrate a birthday. It was my first time here! I have never really had real Indian food before, so this was my first legit experience. The staff were nice and helpful, and the inside was nice. I ordered the butter chicken and rice, which was so good! I got the spice level 3, which wasn't too spicy, but had a nice kick to it. For an appetizer I got the Onion Pakora which was also amazing, especially that little green sauce that came on the side (idk what it's called.) My boyfriend got the goat vindaloo, which was decent. We also got the garlic naan! Yum! I definitely want to come here again and try the other prime favorite dishes! read more

Great to see this great bar and grill in Tehachapi for Indian cuisine, great, and friendly staff at this restaurant. The staff is very friendly and welcoming to everyone who comes in to enjoy a drink and some delicious Indian cuisine. read more

We found this on our drive home. Had been craving Indian food for a while and was excited to stop in after seeing the reviews. The service here was top notch and I was not expecting to find this level of service in Tehachapi. The food was excellent. The portions were nice. We shared the chicken, garlic naan, vegetable pakora, and rice. Even though we shared we had a lot of food left over. All of the items tasted excellent. I will definitely return if I ever find myself in Tehachapi again. read more

This is the spot to hit if you're vegan and in the area! We've been on the road for over a week, and let me tell you, there are only so many fresco-style bean burritos from Taco Bell and Impossible Whoppers from Burger King a person can take. I ordered the Aloo Matar (potatoes and peas in curry sauce), and it was absolutely delicious. Just a heads-up: when they say "spicy," they mean it. I love spicy food and ordered mine medium, and my mouth was still on fire in the best way possible. Honestly, it's the most alive I've felt in years. If you're sensitive to heat, definitely stick with mild. Their online menu clearly marks all the vegan options, which makes ordering super easy. read more

Some of the best indian food I've had in years! Such a pleasant surprise. Will definitely go back next time I have time and am in the area

Hands down the best Indian food I've ever had. The Chicken/Paneer Tikka Masala and Saag are so amazingly creamy, rich, and delicious. The service and ambiance are excellent. The next time my wife and I go to Mammoth, we are definitely stopping by on the way back. It's easily worth the 40 min detour. read more

To be honest, I thought I didn't like this type of food and was hesitant to try it but I was wrong and I am so glad I decided to try! The staff is wonderful and went out of their way to make us at home. I asked if I could see a real tandoori oven and they were very welcoming and let me see it! My coworker and I got a special kitchen tour from the staff to show us how they made our meal. It was fun and educational! I ordered the chicken tikka masala with the four cheese naan bread while my coworker ordered the Baingan Bharta (eggplant). Everything was amazing! If you are looking for good Indian food, good service and awesome staff, you need to come to Prime Bar and Grill! read more

All pros, no cons! Amazing and flavorful, high quality foods! A large menu with plenty of options and a lot of spice levels as well. Customer service was amazing, kind, quick, knowledgeable, checked up on us often. A simple, nice looking, clean environment restaurant. I'm not from the area but if I'm ever anywhere close again, I will 100% come back! All of us agree with all of the above mentioned and none of us had anything negative to say! read more

The Indian food here is always delicious, and the bar food is pretty good too. The service in the restaurant is usually very good. In the bar, it can be touch and go depending on how busy they are, which is understandable. It is a nice clean place With friendly staff and good food. What else do you need? read more

Five Stars! This is an excellent restaurant. Both the food and the ambiance were outstanding. We were referred by many different people. We had a beautiful chicken soup, shrimp tiki masala, and the vegetarian dinner. It was incredible with the delicious garlic naan. I had a yummy cocktail from the full bar. Our server, Harish made the experience even better with his timely and attentive service. Thank you for a wonderful time. We will be back! read more

We were at this place Memorial day. Great place, great food and great service. We highly recommend and we'll visit again soon.

Amazing food! We had the Gobi Manchurian, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, and veggie biryani. Everything was truly delicious and packed a flavor punch! read more

over experience was good Goat curry and naan was very good. lady Server has a bad approach. Hope she fixes her attitude!

Prime Bar & Grill delivers a bold blend of Indian flavors with a hearty goat curry that pairs surprisingly well with crispy sides; the biriyani is fragrant and comforting, perfect for a rib-sticking night out. Goat country vibes nailed: tender meat, rich spices, and a welcoming nana-approved atmosphere--biriyani steam rising, grill sizzle in the background, a celebration of bold Indian taste. read more

I am in shock that this place was so great! I didn't expect great Indian food in the middle of the desert. It's one of the best meals I have had in a long time. The lamb tikka masala was incredible! The chicken curry was delightful and the rice was insane. If you are driving by- like we were- you have to stop in. Best pause in our drive. read more

If you are new to Indian food this is a great place to try! I was and the waiter was very helpful in finding things for my husband and I. It's really nice atmosphere, great for date night! We had garlic and basil naan, chicken naan, samosas with mint and tamarind sauce, paneer, and lamb biryani. Why more than enough food to take home, but we were excited to taste different things. Will definitely be back once the food coma wears off! The waiter helped me find a dish that was not spicy, still had lots of flavor, but wasn't too intense. The paneer was delicious! If you don't like Indian, come anyways, they have an American menu too. read more

Prime Bar and Grill - Fish Pakora, aromatic rice, Chicken Korma, Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Tehachapi, California

Everything was bad including behavior of the owner and staff. On top of it they included the tip with the bill for 3 people.

We dropped by during our road trip for lunch! We got seated immediately. The ambiance is boring, big party-size hall with tables and chairs. They also have a bar next to the restaurant. For a party of 5, we got goat and chicken curry, chai, daal fry, 2 tandoori roti, and rice. The portion sizes were good. The daal didn't have enough salt, the chicken curry was decent, but the goat curry was below average, and the chai was just bad! Having said that, the service was fast and nice. Also, we were surprised to see gratuity already added to the bill! They also charged us for a side of onion and chillis. Usually in Indian restaurants, a side of raw onion, lemon, and chili is given with entrees! Going with 2 stars for the fast service. The food didn't impress us at all. Good luck with your experience! read more

I have loved indian food for years. This place rewrote what I thought of indian food and now everything else feels subpar. Fantastic food, fantastic service. Please open a location in Bakersfield ASAP!!!!! read more

I been coming to this place for years and always had a great experience. The was always great fast service, great food. But unfortunately this time around was not very good. I could honestly be safe to say that I entirely blamed my waitress. She was new as I have never seen her before. She was older with a neat bun. She wasnt very friendly to anyone at the table for starters. And when me and my husband ordered our food it was wrong. We were really specific about what we wanted and double kade sure when she repeated back to us our order. We relieved our order it was spicy i couldn't even eat it. Same with my husband's. Since we were on a lunch break and she didnt even come back to check on us once, we couldnt even get our food fixed. Not once did she come to refill our drinks, we had to physically stop her and ask FOUR SEPARATE TIMES for to-go boxes because we were very obviously done eating for well over 15 mins at that point. She very obviously doesn't care about her job here and how she portrays her attitude towards customers. Wont be coming back for a bit. Hopefully she gets herself straight or at least leaves before we come back again. read more

My first time at this restaurant. It was delicious I can't wait to try more things off the menu. Great stop for Indian food in Tehachapi. 10/10 on food and service . Wish I could give 10 stars . read more
