    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!

    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.

    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.

    Pink tint from my phone...but garlic naan, Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Vindaloo

    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.

    Mushroom Marsala and butter chicken

    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.

    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!

    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.

The first time I came was last year with friends for a birthday, and while it was perfectly fine, I left thinking, "That was nice." Nothing more. Then I moved to the area, fate (or maybe just convenience) nudged me back through the door, and I decided to try something different. That's when things took a turn. The restaurant itself is small and cozy, the kind of place that feels like it's giving you a warm hug the moment you walk in. The two girls who usually work there are absolute sweethearts. They're always kind, welcoming, and attentive even when they're experiencing a huge rush. I've become such a creature of habit that they already know my order before I even sit down. It's always the soy beef pho. Every bowl arrives like a tiny cauldron of comfort, bubbling hot with clouds of fragrant steam, accompanied by crisp bean sprouts and a bright wedge of lemon. The broth is rich, savory, and deeply soothing-I love that it doesn't taste like it's soaked in MSG compelling me to guzzle gallons of water afterwards. Every ingredient tastes fresh, every sip feels intentional, and every visit somehow manages to feel just as comforting as the last. Since transitioning to a more plant-based diet, I thought I wouldn't be able to easily find the same comforting experience that mimicked the memories I had of eating this dish with my dad growing up. This restaurant has managed to gently restore that memory like a small candle fire warming my soul. This place is unassuming from the outside, but once you step in and experience it for yourself, it is truly, truly special.

The portions are noticeably smaller than they used to be. On my most recent visit, I called ahead and was told my order would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived after 15 minutes as instructed, but I still ended up waiting nearly an hour for my food. To make matters worse, while I was waiting after already paying, a party that had been seated after I arrived received their meals before I got mine. That was incredibly frustrating and made it seem like orders weren't being managed properly. The food quality also isn't what it used to be, and the new management seems extremely slow. It's unfortunate because this used to be one of my favorite places. I'm leaving this review up because I think people should know what to expect before coming here.
