    Saag Paneer & Mushroom Masala with Basmati Rice
    Rob D.

    I was in the road with my band. We were about to go to a Mexican restaurant that seemed cool (next time!) but the nearby Punjabi Tandoor smelled so good, we just had to give it a try. The atmosphere is fine. It's casual and clean. The service is fine as well. You go up to the counter to order, and they call your number when it is ready. The food comes in a plastic tray, sort of like a to-go box. So if you are looking for a sit down dining, Indian experience, this isn't the place. Well, it was DELICIOUS. Took a little time as they were cooking on the stove. They made mine really spicy, as requested. Very healthy portions in the two item combos. Fairly priced at just under $17. I highly recommend this place!

    My go to spot for delicious vegetarian or vegan meals. Punjabi Tandoor has been on our food rotation for the last 8+ years and still going strong. With the unique and flavorful food I know my taste buds will forever crave this spot in particular. We make it a point to venture out and try new places but always compare to our favorite local restaurant. We normally order takeout and pickup within 20 minutes. The fresh naan is always hot and delicious. I always order the à la carte Alu Punjabi for the creaminess and amazing tasting potatoes with peas. I complete my order with vegetable samosas and share the hubby's naan. The hubby enjoys the 2 dish combo and typically orders the chicken tikka masala and palak. When we're hungry we can eat the whole meal however we seem to manage two meals out of our dishes. The portions are plentiful and deliciously spicy. The dining area is spacious and clean with enough seating and a waiting area too. The restaurant feels family owned and everyone is welcoming and friendly.

    Ordered some takeout for my wife, who definitely wouldn't be home until after 8pm, always nice to have some of her favorites waiting for her. Best combo is chicken makhani, chicken tikka and garlic naan. Trying to get in here at least once a month if not more. For me I prefer some variety and will usually get saag paneer, Rogan josh and some appetizer items. People who work at this location are always nice.

    Punjabi Tandoor was my go to place in college and was the hype back in SD. It's still ol' reliable, thank goodness! The naan is chewy, crispy, is thick enough to have a bite. Portions generous. Potatoes in the lamb vindaloo caught me off guard, but I thoroughly enjoyed them still. Can't wait to be back. I would skip the mango lassi in the future though.

    A friend recommendation me the restaurant and OMG the food was so good and well served. I got Butter chicken, eggplant, basmati rice and garlic Naan. Everything was delicious. The service was wonderful very kind and helpful. The place looks wonderful with Indian decorations and music. The bathroom is super clean and has parking lot outside.

    Amazing food and amazing service. Shout out to lMeady for the excellent service and great recommendations.

    This place is just HEAVENLY! Their curries always hit the spot and I just tried their tandoori mix which is now my new favorite (comes with a side of house made chili sauce!). I ordered it with some garlic cheese & chili naan and it's a complete protein packed delicacy! The dining area and restroom are always spic and span clean! The kitchen is in full view of the customers which only ensures that you are served freshly made yummy food! Menu is very extensive with entrees, rice variations, breads, appetizers and of course vegetarian options! The staff is always welcoming and friendly and are willing to answer any questions about the menu and also make recommendations should anyone feel the need. This restaurant IS MY GO TO Indian spot in Anaheim and I will eat here until I keel over! ...craving some top notch legit Indian cuisine? THIS IS YOUR SPOT!

    Service was amazing!! I love that they offered to let me have 5-6 spoon filled samples of their lunch options. Each bit got better and better!! I've been curious to try new foods. I'm so familiar with Mexican food but I've expanded my exploration with different cultured foods. This is a perfect spot if you're new to Indian cuisine. It was absolutely DELICIOUS!! Like I had mentioned the service was 10/10! I asked for recommendations and I took the employee's pick! They even gave me Garlic Naan on the house! They were so sweet! Everyone welcomed me and I felt at home! Food was fast and hot, absolutely delicious!! Than you so much for this amazing experience. Will definitely be coming back and recommending this amazing spot!

    Combo 4 Dinner - Chicken Vindaloo and Paneer
    David P.

    Got the Malai Kofta and the chicken tikka masala along with a garlic naan. Both Currys were flavorful, especially the Malai kofta which has vegetable meatballs in a creamy curry sauce. The chicken tiki masala had plenty chicken meat that absorbed the flavors of the curry sauce. Both curries can be mild to very hot spicy, and you can call them to request no spicy. The garlic naan was packed full of garlic aroma and a perfect compliment to the curry. Service was great, and my order was ready to be picked up after placing it online via DoorDash.

    Do they have a buffet?

    I have never seen them have a buffet, they appear to be just combination plates and a la carte.

    Does anyone know if the rice pudding is dairy free, it smells like coconut I can't tell and always forget to ask?

    No. It is made with whole milk.

    Do you serve Halal meat?

    Only lamb and goat is halal.

Came here on a weeknight for dinner and it was not busy. There are a lot of tables inside with a stage towards the front for live music. The space is light on decor with exception of the walls which had images of lion dancers and other things. Food is ordered at the front and brought to the table when ready. We got the Crispy Oyster Mushrooms and the Eggplant Tofu. The Crispy Oyster Mushrooms came in a portion size that was larger than we expected. They tasted like the Salt and Pepper Squid dish that my family gets from Chinese restaurants which we really like. However, the breading was heavy and a lot of the pieces at the bottom were oily. The Eggplant Tofu was solid. Both the Eggplant and tofu were cooked well and had a nice savory sauce. This dish came with rice on the side. Overall, giving Vegan District Asian Eatery a 4/5. The space is clean and spacious and the staff are nice. The flavors of the food are good. Would recommend to anyone looking for vegan Asian food and would come back to try other things on the menu.

Fountain drinks are self-serve, and they also offer canned and bottled drinks. The veggie dishes, fried rice, and noodles are delicious. I highly recommend the spicy wontons. Their dim sum options aren't the best I've ever had, but their other menu items make up for it. You order at the kiosk and pick up your food when your number is called (they sometimes bring it out to you if you're outside). Prices are on the higher side, so don't go here on a budget.

[Parking]: Free parking in the rear and the parking spaces are shared with Hyatt House and Walgreens. [Amenity & service]: Small space with both indoor and few outdoor tables. A restroom is available. Our party waited approximately 20 minutes for the food even though the restaurant was only half full. [Menu]: Yelp's top highlighted items are Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings, Braised Beef Noodle Soup, and Pan Fried Pork Dumplings. *** Kurobuta Pork Soup Dumplings (6 pieces - $13.50): The skin was a bit thicker than I had expected and the broth had an average flavor. Steamed Chicken & Corn Dumplings (6 pieces - $13.00): I should have read the menu more closely as these steamed dumplings contained corn and I certainly wasn't expecting this ingredient. They tasted alright. Shrimp with Pork Siu Mai (6 pieces - $12.50): Ironically this appetizer order was probably the best of the three, but damn hefty price tags for 6 small pieces of pork siu mai. *** 3-star for the food but bump down due to (1) the food took a long time to prepare (20+ minutes) despite this being a fast-casual restaurant and (2) the portions were small relative to the somewhat expensive prices. This is the most disappointing restaurant I have experienced out of all the restaurants I have visited that are part of the Chubby Group.

The service was exceptional, it was quick when I came in, I saw it was a bit smaller, so, I expected a wait for a table, but I was walking around for maybe 5 minutes and got a call that my table was ready. I came back, the food came out quickly, I was with my mom and as soon as her water cup was empty, the server refilled the water quickly. This was a great dining experience, great atmosphere, exceptional staff. The only thing keeping me from placing my review at 5 stars is the quality of the food. While the flavors were excellent and the combination of ingredients were carefully selected, the preparation I feel may have been a bit lacking. Me and my mom came together on Sunday before a concert at the House Of Blues, shortly after we ate the food, our stomachs weren't feeling well, she's lactose intolerant and she got the creamy broth (She had the spicy Quartz with chicken and I had the Ruby with chicken and shrimp.), we just thought it was the broth for her and I just didn't think anything of it. We went about our day, we both had leftovers and took it home. It's Monday now, my stomach was fine earlier today, no issues. I decided to take my leftovers with me to work for lunch ( It was mostly broth with some noodles and chicken, I ate the shrimp when I originally got it), I went to reheat my leftovers, ate them, and shortly after I ate the leftovers, my stomach yet again didn't feel well. I did run to the bathroom a few times during my shift because my stomach was very upset after consuming it. My mom hadn't eaten her leftovers today, she had no stomach issues since eating the ramen on Sunday (She did throw her leftovers away after I told her that my stomach was upset after eating my leftovers), which leads me to believe that maybe the chicken in the ramen wasn't properly prepared for consumption. I would like to speak to a manager about this issue, but otherwise, I highly recommend this place as the food, service, and atmosphere are all very exceptional. Thank you for your time.
