    Takeout Combo #1

    Good food, good portions, and a good price! All of the food in the picture was only around $12.95 and I received my food only 3 minutes after ordering. The food is HALAL and fresh and I could only finish half of the meal. I think it could be considered as 2 meals, which comes out to about $12.95/2 =$6.48 for each meal. Recommend to people who are looking for an affordable yet healthy meal that they can get quickly

    Come here for tasty food and speedy service at a great price. Their AYCE lunch buffet is under $20 and there's a nice variety, including salad, chicken tandoori, chicken masala, goat, dessert, and more.

    I have come to Tamarind perhaps a dozen times for Sunday lunch over the past year. My wife prefers the Mediterranean "Pizzita" next door in this shopping center, but I have come to love the Pakistani flavors of the dishes offered at the buffet. I do not know the correct name, but my favorite is the goat stew with (curry?) and the salad. The tandoori chicken is also delicious and the lentil and eggplant side dishes are savory and perfectly compliment the overall meal. The owners and wait staff are always concerned that I am enjoying my meal and the Ambiance is casual, yet refined. White table covers contribute to the well maintained dining area. Did I mention the bread? Delicious!! All in all, I highly recommend Tamarind and will be returning often.

    We had such a great dining experience! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly and seated right away. The ambiance is calm, inviting, and perfect for a cozy dinner. Service was excellent -- friendly, attentive, and our food came out hot and fresh. Now for the food -- absolutely amazing! We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan, Mixed Tandoori Platter, Rice, Samosas, and Mango Lassi. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the care in every bite. I'll definitely be back and recommending this spot to everyone. If you're nearby, stop in -- your taste buds will thank you

    Garlic Naan Sesame Naan Beef Paratha Roll

    We ordered chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, a beef paratha roll, plus sesame and garlic naan. The curries were flavorful and the meats were REALLY tender, though they leaned on the salty side. The naan was softer and doughier than I prefer, but still good for dipping. Using the curry as a sauce for the beef roll balanced everything out nicely. Overall, really tasty dishes--I'd happily come back and just ask for a lighter hand on the salt next time. About $50 for all of this

    Food was seriously amazing. The portion is humongous and the table unfortunately, is too small for all the size of plates. There are so nice though to ensure that you always have a good fill of water. The food took forever to come that we ran out of things to talk! But when it came, oh my how amazing the spread was! Everything was cooked the perfection and smelled and tasted so good!! Ambience is really nice and I really love the lighting that makes everybody look pretty glorious! Definitely a great place if you want an Indian fixing.

    Naan was very fresh but not as crispy as I had before

    Price is very good for Indian meals but we think in comparison, New Flavor of India buffet place is better with quality. This place still serves very good Indian food. Their tandoori is tender moist and delicious but it runs out very quickly and most pieces are bony. Rice is hard. Chutney.... I won't recommend. Rice pudding has some shredded coconut which gives it nice consistency. Staff are very nice and friendly. Short staffed though.

    Tamarind Salad, chicken tikka masala, lentils, saag, and mint chutney.

    The food is so good, and the owner is kind. You have to try place. They have many dishes to choose from. They have all you can eat lunch buffet and combo meals. Once a week, I believe there's an all you can eat dinner buffet.

    Mango drink, lunch buffet, free naan bread

    I've only been to their lunch buffet, but with that being said this place is amazing. The standard chicken masala, basmati rice, salad is always served but every other day they change some of the meat. Every single time has been a banger. Goat was tender, fish was soft and delectable, all chicken variations are great with rice. Not sure if the naan bread is unlimited but they have been giving it everything I ask. The mango drink is great too, high recommend you try it. The amount of food variation and buffet for about $20 is already a steal now a days, and to have the food be this good made this place my top 2 spot in Chino. If your deciding on a place to go between 11AM - 230PM, you need to come here. Can't speak for the dinner though

    Lunch break time and I have been craving a shawarma wrap. Went to my trusted Yelp and found Mito's…read more I ordered the doner wrap with hummus, pickled onions and hot peppers. Quick turnaround time and I drove right into, it was delicious! The lavish bread was light, the meat was seasoned and tender. I really enjoyed my meal and the kind man provided a small sampler of dessert and they were delicious too. I love the restaurant it's cozy and welcoming. They have a really nice patio as well. It's been a minute since I've done a review so no photos but I will next time I come.

    Came here for lunch with my friend. First time trying Turkish food and it was delicious. The beef…read morezaza which is like minced meat on a flat bread with veggies on the side to add to it dipped in a yogurt garlic sauce was great. I got the beef shish kebab plate with roasted beet salad was also fantastic. The meat was cooked to perfection on a grill outside. Turkish coffee sure was strong and served in a tiny cup which was cute. Got a baklava for dessert which was very sweet but yum. They also have a large display case of candy that were all very unique and tasty. I got a rose one that is so good. I bought a box of assorted flavors home to enjoy. The owner of the restaurant cut small pieces of the candy for us to try so we can decide which one we wanted. The other owner also came by to check on us and ask if the food was good. The restaurant is quite spacious with outdoor covered patio seating as well as indoor. I was able to bring my dog and dine there. They were so nice and even offered a bowl of water for my pup. Overall wonderful place for some solid Turkish food.
