    Garlic naan
    Stephanie T.

    Just FYI: the place is open until 930pm but seating stops there at 8:30pm. You can only do take out in between these times. The staff here were very friendly and helpful. It's a small place with limited seating. I got the buttered chicken, which tasted very good. The garlic naan was moist and tasty as well. Definitely a nice family owned place it seems

    Chicken korma is good but you literally get chicken+rice for your meal
    Christine S.

    Visiting here on a Sunday afternoon I was hoping for a simple curry meal. I learned that the lunch special (meat curry+ naan+rice+ salad) isn't offered on the weekends. So I asked about getting a combo which doesn't exist. Everything is a la carte. So had I ordered that, my chicken korma meal would be $17+ $5 naan +$?? salad = $27+ for a basic lunch. So I got the basic curry and rice and left. While I waited for my order, a lady came in and was trying to place a carryout order and she asked for the curry to be packaged separately from one of the food items so it wouldn't get soggy. Seemed like a reasonable request. But the guy behind the counter told her no so she walked out empty handed. It seems that while the food here tastes good, the customer service is lacking and they don't have a good offering besides their lunch special. I would not come here again outside of the lunch hours. If you are looking for tandoori style food with curries, there are a number of other options in Bressi Ranch and off Faraday

    Tasty, delicious and generous. I loved the garlic naan. The butter chicken was seasoned so well. And the chicken tikka masala was perfection. Thank you for packing our meal securely, we had a long drive back down south. Even after our 45 min drive, our food was still hot. It was the comfort food we expected! Can't wait to visit again.

    I was sooo happy when I spontaneously came across Tandoori Guys during my lunchtime. When I entered the restaurant, the young guy behind the counter was super friendly...ready to take my order. I felt welcomed and immediately embraced the down-to-earth vibes I was feeling. I even asked him to play the punjabi music which was on pause. I ordered the Saag Paneer at a 7 spice level then smiled at him...reassuring him I'm down with the spiciness. Soon afterwards, I didn't have to wait too long for my lunch...gotta love this exceptional service. My food looked amazingly delicious and it was! Naan bread had the perrrfect crisp. Basmati rice was cooked to perrrfection. Saag Paneer had the right amount of Indian cottage cheese cubes. Chana Masala was sooo flavorful and tasty. Salad provided the right balance. Plus, my Mango Lassi was sooo refreshing too. I appreciated the generosity and hospitality. I can't wait to try everything on the menu. Highly recommend!!! Many special thank yous to Tandoori Guys for accommodating folks who telework!!! I walked by 3 other food establishments nearby and unfortunately, they all didn't have outlets (Smh).

    Meat curry: Butter lamb
    Erick M.

    GREAT tasting food, Friendly service, Clean! We got the lamb butter masala (medium spice which was REALLY flavorful) which came with rice and an order of nan bread (a must) Great place for some Indian food!! Highly Recommend

    Chicken tikka masala
    Aaron D.

    The curry for chicken tikka masala was excellent as was the rice, but the naan was dense, thin, and bland. The chicken was pretty dense and wasn't anything special. The mango lassi was not horrible but certainly not specia andl I can't think of any worse mango lassi I've ever had. The service was pretty straightforward, nothing exceptional, which makes sense because it is branded as a quick order lunch establishment, with minimal seating and certainly not suitable for group dinners. I expect somewhat more reasonable prices when a place is set up for a quick lunch, but the prices are $30 to $40 per person with a side and drink. Honestly, unless you're here for a lunch special, this place is probably worth passing on.

    Lamb Curry w/ Basmati Rice and Garlic Naan
    Rhona L.

    Found this through the TooGoodToGo app to take home some Butter Chicken and could not resist sitting down to an excellent meal of Lamb Curry w/ Basmati rice! Nice clear blackboard menu, lovely wall art, and convenient for those who also need to do other errands around this area since it shares a huge parking lot with Unleashed by Petco, Stater Bros. Supermarket, Supercuts, and more! Didn't need to wait too long and will remember to come again when my craving for fresh cooked Indian cuisine hits:)

    Paneer Tikka Masala
    Kaleend D.

    The restaurant is in a very nice part of town. Tried their samosa chaat which was amazing and had a nice spice to it. Also their garlic naan and cheese naan were really good. The paneer tikka masala was decent. The paneer was very soft and nice but the curry itself was watery and lacked flavor. They serve with basmati rice. They have a nice outdoor seating too

    Lunch Special
    Bo D.

    Pay attention when you order online haha I ordered the chicken tikka (dry) accidentally but honestly I have no complaints. It's great! I ordered the lunch special which is always worth it. The chicken tikka is a much lighter dish than the Tikka Masala but still just as flavorful and I'd argue more conducive to a "work" lunch because I don't feel like napping even though it was very filling. Still my fave lunch spot. Will always go back

    Mango Lassi

    The best Indian food in San Diego, Naan, curry goat and Mango lassi are amazing . Everytime I'm in Bressi Ranch I MUST stop by to get something from there!!!

    Peshawari Chicken Lunch Special
    TJ Q.

    This was an amazing lunch service. Walked in and ordered the Peshawari Chicken. Dark meat chicken in a coconut curry sauce. It was such a great meal. I was able to customize the spice which was great. It's on a scale from 1-10 which worked out great for me and ordered a 7. It was perfect. Right blend of spice and flavor. Came with some rice and a side of vegetable curry with some naan. Man was this a really lunch. Will be back to try the other options outside the lunch special!!!

Walking in, it wasn't busy. There was only 1 person waiting for a to-go order. There was a good amount of seating. It wasn't the cleanest though, the floors needed some serious sweeping. We seated ourselves and the young man at the front counter took our order. He was very quiet but helpful. We ordered the Tikka Masala with chicken, Butter Masala w/ chicken, Vindaloo with Shrimp and Garlic Naan. The food was piping hot-temperature wise and arrived in take-out containers. So we needed to wait a few minutes for it to cool a little so we could eat it. Their ice maker wasn't working and the water was warm, so there was no cooling to be found there. When we finally tried the food, we were impressed. The spice-levels of each dish were as expected and the food was delicious! Unfortunately, in the Vindaloo, chicken was put in instead of the shrimp which we had ordered. But it was still good. We also thoroughly enjoyed the Garlic Naan as well. Overall, we were glad to have tried this place. The prices are comparable to other establishments of the same cuisine. However, the food is above average. We'll be back!

Beautiful area with lots of kids playing by the fountain. Sitting is inside or outside the restaurant. Lady who greeted us were very nice. All tables were taken outside so we sat inside the restaurant looking out to the fountain area. Place was decorated nicely with pillows on some of the sittings. Really cute place and cozy. Three of us were hungry and the aroma coming from the kitchen made us twice as hungry. We ordered 2 vegetable dishes, Palak Paneer and Aloo Matar. The Palak Paneer which is spinach with cheese was delightful. It is our favorite vegetable dish and tied our entrees together. It's comforting and savory. The Aloo Matar fresh peas and potatoes were as delicious but hard to compare with the Paneer. I did like the peas a lot. For our entrees we had the Chicken Kadai, Lamb Tarkari and Chicken Tandoori. All came with basmati rice. The chicken kadai had a nice spicy kick. The lamb was tender and lots of cinnamon notes. The tandoori was crispy, tender and juicy. The Garlic cilantro naan was tasty, soft and buttery and great with soaking in all the curry sauce. All the flavors hit the right spot and were all delicious! We had a tiny leftover left of the rice, naan and Aloo Matar. Otherwise we devoured our entire meal. It was that yummy!!! We love this place. Everything about our experience felt like your grandmother or aunties made these food just for you. It was that authentic and cozy! If you're by Carlsbad and want to experience the taste of Nepal, Indian and Tibetan cuisine, this place is for you. They will treat you like family.
