Ras Malai
Harinder K.

Got take out. The pani puri was good - the water was perfect combination of tangy, spicy, and sweet; the puris could be crispier. The samosa chat was good but it was lukewarm and difficult to reheat. The gobi Manchurian was solid. The Ras malai was spoiled! It smelled odd and the "Ras" was solidified and one bite left a terrible bitter taste. Very disappointed!

Veggie samosas, tandoori chicken and water carafe with a view.
Aiko M.

I knew upon entering that I would absolutely love this place; the ambience and decor are elegant and stunning! There's lots of black, some gold and walls of mirrors that open up the interior. Sounds Vegas-y, but it really works. I ordered a mango lassi, the veggie samosas and tandoori chicken. I ended up with the drink to-go as they made it fresh and it took a bit longer than expected. The food came out fast; everything was delicious without the sauce accompaniments. The samosas were a bit salty but I had a huge carafe of water to myself. I didn't know the chicken was going to be bone-in; I was so happy to get drumsticks! My server was friendly and calm (which translates to: soft-spoken). I arrived close to opening time with a few other patrons... it was fairly quiet but I had trouble hearing him even when he was right next to me. Overall, I LOVE this restaurant and am looking forward to trying the curries and lunch special. Pros: - ambience and decor - fairly small, concise menu - water is not tap - friendly - reasonable prices + lunch special - food presentation - open all day (many Indian places close midday) - bar seating and table options, lovely patio Cons: - parking sucks (can park free at transit center and walk over) - none really

Chicken Tikka Masala
Elizabeth D.

So good you'll want to lick the plate clean! the chicken tikka masala was both yummy and comforting. The waiter was very nice and attentive! Price is similar to other Indian restaurants. The place is nicely decorated and clean. Will go again!

Tandoori guys has just opened in Oceanside!! We stopped by a few minutes before they opened, but they saw us and opened the doors so we didn't have to wait outside. Our experience is below.. Eats. * Butter naan. Delicious! * Garlic naan. Really can't go wrong, especially if you like garlic. It's delicious and addicting. * Mango lassi. Kids split a cup and loved it. * Chicken korma (comes with rice). This was my favorite. I love the chicken peshawari from the Carlsbad location, and was pretty happy when they said the chicken korma was the same thing. The chicken was tender and the curry itself was packed with flavor. * Tikka masala (comes with rice). A great option if this is your fave/go-to. You can't go wrong with it. We ordered both the korma and tikka masala mild - but both dishes had the perfect flavor with a little kick to it, it was perfect for someone who can't do anything spicy! Location. Next to North Coast Roastery, to the right of the Finn hotel and the Switchboard restaurant. We love the Carlsbad location, but it's a little far for us so it was great to see they opened up here! Service. The people are very friendly and helped answer our questions. Welcome to the neighborhood! We look forward to coming back. Everything was delicious!! Would love to see some lunch specials, too.

Great place! Indian food is typically pretty expensive, but Tandoori Guys has really reasonable prices and even have happy hour for wine. Food was really good, and the atmosphere makes you feel like you're eating at a 5-star restaurant at a 3-star price. We stuck to the staples (saag paneer, tikka masala, samosas) and we were definitely happy with our choices. Looking forward to going back to try some different items!

Reshmi malai kebab
Pranjali S.

We liked this place. We came here on a weekend night and it wasn't too crowded. We ordered the reshmi Malai kabab, the Malai kofta and garlic naan. The food tasted good, no doubt about it. However, the reshmi Malai kabab was a gravy based dish instead of melt in the mouth dry kebabs that we expected. Pricing is decent for the Oceanside area. There is street parking around the area. The service was decent.

Went in for lunch... it was delicious. Had the lunch special which was rice, chicken korma, chole masala and naan. We ordered a 5 for spice level and it was perfect. The seating as super comfortable and service was friendly and quick. Highly recommend... 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. This will be our go to place when we visit Carlsbad again. Will be back!!!

We are from the coachella valley and we don't have many options when it comes to Indian cuisine…read more When we go out of town we always look for an Indian or Vietnamese restaurants. We have tried a few in the LA and riverside area and hands down this has to be the best we have had. Everything was fresh and flavorful. We are Mexican and love our spicy food. What we enjoyed was the fact that they have a level of spice on each dish. We ordered a 7, but honestly we should have ordered a 5 because it was so spicy. Regardless, we enjoyed our food and the staff is extremely helpful and attentive. If you are looking for amazing Indian food. THIS IS THE SPOT.

A Hidden Gem in Oceanside - Amazing Food Every Time!…read more Turmeric Hut has become one of our family's favorite restaurants in Oceanside. I've been there for both lunch and dinner, and every time I leave happy. The food is consistently delicious, the portions are generous, and the prices are absolutely worth it. I was first introduced to Turmeric Hut during the Taste of Oceanside event and was blown away by how amazing their sample was. It was so good that I've been back many times since, and it never disappoints. The butter chicken is a must-try--rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. And the naan is fabulous, fresh, and the perfect complement to every meal. If you're looking for excellent Indian food in Oceanside, I highly recommend Turmeric Hut. My family and I love it!

Came with a group who couldn't decide what to eat for dinner, so we went to the Island food court…read more A few others and I wanted to try Punjabi Tandoor, so we ordered some stuff to share, and my oh my was it delicious. I got the shrimp vindalu, which had great flavor. Each bite was a flavor explosion to my tastebuds. The shrimps were very tender, and the potatoes soaked up the sauce so well. Paired with the garlic naan, the meal was simply divine. Not only was the food amazing, the man behind the counter with the curly mustache was incredibly nice. He gave us recommendations, described some of the food, and even chatted with us a bit since the store wasn't too full. Since we were all so happy with our experience, we decided to go back the next day for lunch! This time I ordered the chicken lunch combo, which came with rice and naan, and I chose to get butter chicken and chicken curry. The lunch meals are premade and served from warming tubs, as opposed to the made to order dinner meals. It was still very delicious however! The butter chicken had a rich, pungent flavor, and the meat had a deep red color, I'm assuming from hours of marinating. The chicken curry was great as well, but not quite as good as the butter chicken. I also got a mango lassi, which I had heard all about but had never tried. It was super creamy and sweet, and was perfect to wash down the spicy curry. This restaurant has a few other locations all across SoCal, and each one is owned by a different members of the family, which we learned by talking to the man behind the counter. I would definitely come back, this is the best Indian food I have ever had.

I stopped in 30 minutes before they closed, and I was treated super warmly even though it was clear…read morethey were winding down for the day. I decided to get a mango lassi, naan, and chicken makhani, and the woman working the counter asked if I was ordering just for myself. When I said yes, she recommended the combo which includes rice and naan. I love a combo, and this one sounded like a really good deal. It also came with the option to get double chicken makhani or to add another entrée selection. I chose the malai kofta. I appreciated her suggestion, and considering how late I was there, I left a nice tip. When the order was ready about 10 minutes later, she told me that she had thrown in a couple of extras. Instead of making me feel like a burden for coming in late, they treated me with kindness and generosity. I say all of this not so everyone who goes here expects freebies toward the end of the night, but so that you know the service is top-notch and the food is a great value even without the bonus add-ons. If I find myself over here again while I'm still in San Diego, I will absolutely pick up takeout from Punjabi Tandoor.
