    Combo plate with 2 meats
    Mayra F.

    So happy I found this place! I was craving Indian food and needed something that wasn't a fancy sit-down place like you find in Cerritos (ily Cerritos). I got the combo plate with 2 meats: butter chicken and chicken tika masala. It was BOMB! It was the perfect amount of spice and, if you look at my photo, the portions are hefty! The naan was close to the best naan I've ever had. I promise you it's worth a try if you love Indian food like I do. There are so many options to choose from too, like lamb, seafood and veg curries. Can't wait to try more. They also give you a small cup of rice pudding for dessert - it wasn't too sweet but it was a nice ending to a delicious meal. Prices were great and service was quick!

    Combo #4 Dinner - Butter Chicken & Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, and Kheer
    Jonnie N.

    Went back to Punjabi Tandoor and ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala - Chicken Makhani combo again, along with Garlic Naan and a side of Lamb Curry--and once again, they absolutely delivered. Everything was rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The portions are huge--easily enough for two additional meals, which makes it an even better value. On top of that, they're currently offering a lunch special, so it's truly a steal for the quality and quantity you get. Consistently delicious food, generous portions, and great value. This spot keeps proving why it's a go-to. Will definitely be back.

    I have always wanted to eat here and finally made the decision! First and foremost, the smell of the spices and food just is so strong when you walk by (in an AMAZING way!) that it is SO inviting and makes us even more hungry! We went on a Friday afternoon and were the only people in the restaurant! We decided to get Lamb Vindaloo and Chicken Tikka Masala, plain basmati rice, and regular & garlic naan bread (not photographed). You can taste the authenticity in each bite. The sauces were both equally delicious and complex with their spices and flavors. There was a lot of protein in both dishes which was nice! Most places give you more sauce than protein, but this was quite the opposite! Since we were the only ones, the manager (I am assuming) gave us a small sample of their most popular Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken) and it was perfect! Very kind of him to let us get a taste of the menu! There was so much food, we were able to have (2) full meals from this. I will DEFINTIELY be coming back to try the Saag Paneer, their curry, and a samosa! I encourage everyone in 2026 to try a new restaurant that might be out of your comfort zone, and you pallet will be expanded and will THANK YOU!

    *Note: TDLR at the end of the review Lamb Vindaloo: 5/10 Nothing extraordinary. The meat was tender, a tad bit gamey, which is kind of expected when eating lamb. I will say it was a bit salty an they only give you a couple pieces. Overall, okay. Shrimp Masala: 6/10 There was a hair when I first opened the box, but this rating is if there was no hair LOL. The masala was well balanced, but the shrimp were small, and they only gave you a couple as well. Pistachio Ice Cream Bar: 10/10 Super creamy and the texture is a bit thicker which made it more interesting. Pistachio flavor was very apparent, and it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet. Garlic Naan: 8/10 Paid extra dollar for it. It was definitely good, but worth it? I think it depends on the person Service: 7/10 Nothing special. They were nice and tried to help figure out what I wanted to order. Ambiance: 7/10 Music was a good volume, and the restaurant itself was very clean. Lighting wasn't overbearing and it was air conditioned. TDLR: Automatic 3 stars = Found a hair in my food when I opened it. I didn't send the food back because I'm not super picky. I think overall the food was good not great. I would comeback if I was around with some friends or something, but not my first choice. I would come back for the ice cream though haha

    Chana Samosa
    Kendall H.

    So this is a first. On a work trip to LA I was driving back to my hotel and saw the sign for this place literally in the parking lot of the hotel! Life is never that easy! This joint is located in a tight strip center next to the AMC and the aromas filled the square. This is more like an Indian version of Panda Express but with better food and friendly service. The two guys were making every single item fresh to order, and I must say the results were outstanding. Naan - filled with delicious cheese, fresh, hot, and chewy Chana Samosa - never seen such a thing before. Basically a deconstructed samosa with garbanzo beans, mint chutney, and tamarind sauce poured over the top. Fresh onions and a fork is all you need! Chicken Tikka - fragrant and just the right level Of spice. This version is made with fat chunks of chicken breast. Highly recommend you stop in !!

    Took delivery tonight and combined Basmati Fish Pakora and Curry Shrimp
    Ernest R.

    Another Yelp find. Ordered the Garlic Naan Basmati Rice Curry Shrimp and Fish Pakora. Dishes arrived very HOT which was an absolute WIN all the way round. Wasn't expecting that type of service on a delivery (though I paid the extra for the priority delivery) it turned out being a good investment indeed. The Curry Shrimp was tasty. Shrimp succulent flavored with a tender bite. Was expecting the curry to be a bit richer and thicker in consistency (it was more like a soup consistency) but it handled like a thicker curry as it absorbed easily into the Rice and Garlic Naan. My first such Curry. Tasty dish that was also a complement to the crispy seasoned tasty and fluffy Fish (inside) Pakora. Enjoyed those and paired it with the Naan Rice and Curry Shrimp with almost every bite. All in all. My meal experience was the next thing to home made arriving as hot as it did. I am looking forward to trying more from their menu soon. Gratitude and give thanks Punjabi Tandoor Restaurant and Staff for a phenomenal meal experience.

    Goat curry spicy
    ra l.

    Wow wow wow, goat curry is the best in the land. Naan was perfect texture and flavor. Portions are generous. My mouth will stop talking and more eating !

    Tandoori Chicken, Garlic Naan, Rogan Josh, Lamb biryani, & Seekh Kebab
    Harrison T.

    I stopped by for lunch with a friend and we had an amazing meal here! I had gotten recommendations to come here and I'm a big fan of Indian food so I'm glad I had the chance to check it out. After looking through their menu we ordered several items - Lamb Rogan Josh - 5/5 - rich and creamy with great spices and they didn't skimp on the lamb! Lamb Biryani - 5/5 - a huge portion and easily shareable. The rice was not overcooked and the chunks of lamb mixed in were huge! Garlic Naan - 4/5 - freshly made right out of the tandoor. The 2 pieces we ordered were quite big and were great to dip into the curries. Tandoori Chicken(Whole) - 5/5 - super flavorful and the chicken was juicy on the inside and not dry. There was a good amount of seasoning on the outside and the marinade on the chicken was great Seekh Kebab - 4/5 - plenty of pieces and the spiced onions on top provided a crisp texture to the soft kebab and the dipping sauces paired well with the meat! All the food was delicious and the staff were friendly and helpful with any questions we had. They even let us try some sample of some of the curries they had readily available! Service was also quick even for made to order food. You have an option to get a fountain drink or several Indian drinks/desserts in the cooler next to it. This is a great spot for Indian food and I highly recommend coming here if you get the itching for some tasty and spicy Indian food! Parking is available behind the restaurant.

    Garlic Naan
    Maureen S.

    Wow!! This place is insanely good. The mushroom marsala is an absolute must! I've never had anything like it, the flavor profile has so much depth. My family raved over the lamb curry and butter chicken, both meats were so tender, fall apart type! The naan was also really good and super fresh. The service here is also really cheery, friendly and attentive. The inside is very clean and the vibe is great, perfect for families. I would go back again next time we find ourselves on this side of LA!!

    Vegetable Samosa. Great!
    Julio V.

    Very delicious and affordable Indian food with large portions. Everything we tried was good. The naan provided was huge! Love the combination plates and their offerings. Overall a great place for fast, good quality, Indian food.

    Uncooked chicken in chicken vindaloo dish.
    Gina R.

    Normally, I am a huge fan of Punjabi Tandoor; however, I received an order of chicken vindaloo today that was not cooked properly. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that the chicken was partially frozen. I ate a few bites, thinking it tasted a bit off. Now, I am concerned that I'll fall ill later. This is definitely a food safety issue. Beware!

    Ita R.

    We've ate here multiple times and whether we dine-in or takeout the quality is always amazing. They have a large menu and offer to make dishes even more spicy upon request which my boyfriend loves. I personally love their garlic naan it's so tasty and fresh just makes it so enjoyable. The restaurant offers great sitting options both inside and out so that's always a plus in my opinion. Not to mention it's Very clean and well maintained. The staff is very nice, no complaints on that. A personal favorite

I've been craving breakfast food for a while so I got the breakfast burrito to try. It definitely hit the spot for me, and it was so big I ended up splitting it with 2 other people. My friend got the breakfast bowl and I tried some. It was basically the same as the burrito but just deconstructed with quinoa as a base. It was all great! I love that Guacamaya serves breakfast all day for late risers like me. I really wanted to try the coconut Tres leches that was on display as well, but I think they said it was like $12.

The restaurant was fairly empty when we arrived. We ordered gorditas, guacamole, and nachos. I had a margarita, and my friend enjoyed her nachos with a refreshing cucumber drink. We also purchased a cup of *Champurado* to go, after sampling it - and it's truly exceptional. My gorditas featured a delicious mushroom "meat" and soy chorizo. The chorizo had a delightful kick - a pleasant spice, not overpowering. The mushroom "meat" was fantastic! The guacamole was perfect, and I appreciated the NO tomatoes. I didn't try the nachos, but my friend seemed to thoroughly enjoy the diverse ingredients. We had a wonderful time and I'll definitely be returning. I highly recommend the *Champurrado*, the gorditas (especially the mushroom one!), and the guacamole. The soy chorizo was also excellent.
