We ordered chole bhature, shahi paneer, butter naan, pani poori, and samosa chaat. The bhature were incredibly soft, almost like a pillow. The butter naan was amazing, dripping with rich butter that tasted almost homemade. The shahi paneer was flavorful and paired perfectly with the naan. The drinks were just as good. The mango lassi tasted fresh and natural, without that artificial pulp flavor you sometimes get. The chaas was also refreshing and balanced. The staff were very friendly and helpful. If you are not familiar with the menu, they are happy to guide you and suggest dishes. Overall, we loved the place and will definitely be back for more. Highly recommend.

The chef needs to give the butter on the side or open the butter out of its pack otherwise it's super unhygienic!

My family doesn't like to try foods that aren't typical American foods. But I do. I was actually on my way to the Poké spot but decided on Indian instead because I hardly ever eat it and I love a good curry. With it being the day after Christmas, I wasn't sure what the crowds would be like. But I was one of 4 tables that were seated at the 12:30 lunch time. The space is open, so voices kind of travel but it isn't bad with so few customers. They play upbeat Indian music but it's nice, maybe you could compare it to jazz. The volume could be lowered just a little. The lighting is dim, and the room is cool. You could dress up a little and have a date here or come casual. They have a section of the seating area blocked off by curtains, maybe an area to reserve for bigger parties or to open up when its a busy evening. I ordered the Aloo Tikki Chat (Spiced potato patties fried and served with chickpeas) and the Chicken Makhani (Clay oven-baked boneless chicken cooked in rich tomato butter cream sauce) both with medium spice level. The Aloo Tikki Chat was so good! The chickpeas were nice and soft. Great flavors all around. It's like a party in my mouth! It is an appetizer and its a good size. Definitely can be shared with several people. The spice level is just right for me. The Chicken Makhani is a lot more mild with the flavor palate. A nice smooth tomato based sauce. I don't pick up the spicy heat with it at all, which is fine. The chicken. Is nicely cooked as well. This would be a good starter meal for someone new to Indian food. Overall, I give Viceroy Indian Cuisine a thumbs up!

Like I said, we never had Indian food so our server helped us pick an appetizer which was the Chicken 65. It was amazing! It was flavorful and the chicken was so tender. I also got the mango lassi and it was a thinner liquid of yogurt flavored mango which I actually enjoyed. For the entrees, I got a medium spice Lamb Tikka Masala and Mild spice Chicken Makhani with garlic naan. It came with a bowl of rice and wow! They both were so creamy and had their own unique flavors. I recommend those two , especially the chicken makhani. Medium spice does have a kick to it, so if you don't like spice I suggest mild. Overall, 10/10!

Located conveniently close to I-5, it's a perfect stop to take a break, enjoy great food, and relax before continuing your journey. We tried several dishes -- Chat Papri, Chole Kulcha, Shahi Paneer, Dal Makhani, Aloo Paratha, Garlic Naan, and Besan Roti -- and every single one was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, with ingredients that felt locally sourced and prepared with care. They offer restaurant made makhan with parathas, isn't is super cool? :) The server was amazing, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, which made the whole experience even better. It's rare to find a place like this that combines authentic taste, quality service, and a warm atmosphere so well. Highly recommended for families and travelers--whether you're going from the Bay Area to LA or vice versa, make this your go-to stop for Indian food. A must-try spot that truly captures the heart of Indian cuisine!

Yesterday was finally the day... and unfortunately, it felt like opening a bag of Doritos and finding it 90% air and 10% chips. Technically there's something there -- just not what you hoped for. We walked in and the place was completely empty. Not "quiet lunch rush" empty. More like "did we miss a memo?" empty. There's a pool table and a fish tank, which I'll politely leave alone since they have nothing to do with the food... but they definitely added to the mysterious vibe. The woman who took our order seemed less than thrilled we existed, so I actually asked if they were closing soon. Nope -- still had a couple hours left. Okay then! We ordered two dishes. Only one came out. No check-ins, no "How is everything?", just radio silence. We ended up sharing the one plate (which was okay -- not amazing, not terrible, just okay). At the end, I mentioned I never received my order. She did refund me right away, which I appreciated, and then returned to what I can only describe as hibernation mode. As we were leaving, she came out and apologized, saying something had happened that morning and her mind was elsewhere. I do appreciate the apology -- I genuinely do. We all have off days. Still, the overall experience just didn't sit right with me. It's too bad, because I was curious to come back and try their pizza. But at this point... I guess that will remain one of life's little mysteries.

My GF loves Indian food and extra spicy, but for me it's not a usually a top choice. JBV however is completely different. I'm only in Bakersfield a few days a month but I always try and squeeze in a meal at Jay Bhavani because the food is outstanding. The flavor and texture of each dish is dialed to perfection and the quality is consistently top notch. The servers are always friendly (shout out to Nirav) and they give helpful descriptions/recommendations if, like me, you aren't super familiar with the wide variety of dishes they serve. My favorites are the JB Special Dosa and Vada Pav (great for eating on the go) The food is always made to order and fresh. They also have beer on draft or glass bottled soda (the good stuff) to wash it down with. My spice tolerance is relatively high, but they do offer many dishes mild/no spice by request for those that can't handle the heat. The digs are humble so you won't mistake this place for fine dining, but the important stuff (THE FOOD and SERVICE) are right up there with the best in Bakersfield.
