We decided to stop by this place for lunch on Monday. We were the first customers to visit. It is…read moreneatly tucked into the back of the plaza where there is the new Tesla showroom. There is plenty of free parking all around. Inside we were seated on one of the booths. They have a lunch buffet for $20/person. Right off the bat, I was hoping they would have a chicken biryani, but they did not. Here is a listing of all that was available: Plain rice, Vegetable Samosa, Veg. Pakoras, Dal Makhni, Navaratan Korma, Chana Masala, Egg Fried Rice, Kadi Pakora, Aloo Baingan Mirch, Chicken Tikka Masala, Goat Curry, Chicken Tandoori, Chili Chicken, Gulab Jaman and Kheer for dessert. I tried a whole variety of items, but my biggest complaint would be all the food was cold. They had burners on the bottom, but it was not properly heated before transferring to the chafing dishes, so all of the food was not the right temperature. The quality of the food is highly affected because of this. I will rate the items based on taste. If they had been warm/hot, I believe they would have been rated higher. The only thing that was fresh was the naan. They brought this out to the table after you picked if you wanted garlic, chili, or plain. Dal Makhni - this was a good consistency and spice. I enjoyed it with the naan. Vegetable Samosa - the filling was okay, but a bit dry. I had to really use the chutneys to eat it. If this was more fresh/hot, I think it would be better. Chana Masala and Egg Fried rice were also average. There was a small kick to the rice, which was a good surprise. The chicken Tikka Masala was average. Again it was cold. The Chicken Tandoori was a little dry. I really liked the taste of the chili chicken, but it was cold so the outer layer became soggy. Overall we enjoyed a day out and not having to cook but I hope they can fix the problem with the food being cold. Not one item was hot. We might come back to try the dishes a la carte to get a better experience.

I went in looking for some spicy Indian curry. That's not available in the premade cafeteria style…read moreoptions - oh no! You mean I get to order fresh food! YESSSSS!! Fresh is always better. Now you do have to order from the à la carte menu, and it is a little more, but it's fresh and comes with rice. Naan is extra! I ordered extra spicy chicken vindaloo with a side of garlic naan. The portion size was pretty large, the taste was medium spicy but sooooo delicious! I'll definitely be back. I want to try the goat curry. The portion was so large that be eating it for a couple of days! I placed the order with a lady who was pretty helpful. The food came quickly and as I mentioned was fresh, hot, and delicious.

It's not like I'm not into trying new and different dishes, but sometimes I really do want my personal list of hits, just done by a different artist. I guess that would make them covers as well as encores. I do that with steak frites. St. Louis ribs, trout, linguine with clams, and a good hash/skillet at breakfast. But also on that list is goat curry when I feel like Indian. There's something so comfortable and satisfying about it that I can't resist it when it's on the menu. From the first time I had goat with Breanne and her family at their big breakfast shindigs they have every few months, I've always thought goat is an underserved meat. And goat curry is the perfect vehicle for it to be served more. The goat curry at Indian Food Express is immaculate. I could eat that all day. It's subtle in the actual meat, but spicy enough in the sauce. It's chunky, but also broth-like in how well all that great juice and stew of flavors just mixes into your rice. It killed me how gold their version is despite being $5 or $6 cheaper than I being served at other Indian food joints. The service was awesome here too. They took my order fast, they got me my food fast, and checked on me just enough that everything was to my liking. The ambiance is okay here. It's a little small with only a few tables. I could see at a dinner rush or lunch rush it getting pretty cramped up in there. I also didn't like the no fountain drinks to order there. They only had the bottles and cans, which means I had to ration my soda and that I felt thirsty all meal. And that's something you don't want your customers to ever experience. All in all, I love the goat curry here and I know it'll be in my rotation from now on. I'll just have to get used to maybe asking for water to quench my thirst along with a soda. It's a small sacrifice in service of that holy bowl of goat goodness they have there.

Great food, I'm picky when it comes to Indian food, but this place has the authentic taste I crave…read more One small alternation I make when ordering is 50% less cream. Butter chicken, Malia kofta, saag paneer, and vegetarians momos were all a hit. All worth ordering again. Along with the naans. Prices are fair, this occasion I ordered take out. The setting of the restaurant is a home town family owned place. The charm is there. Don't expect this place to look like Din Thai fung. Service was prompt you can tell they were busy with phone and online orders. But worth a weekly or monthly visit. Probably the best option in north OC for South Asian cuisine. Will be returning soon.

Decided to come back to try the à la carte menu here for takeout for dinner. For three of us, we…read moreordered butter chicken, fish pakora, vegetable samosas, tandoori platter (chicken, shrimp, lamb), and garlic naan. The total came out to around $70. When we came in, there were only a couple tables of people eating. It was dimly lit and pretty empty. There were a couple tables that still hadn't been turned over yet from earlier guests. The vibe is honestly kind of odd. The guy who is always working there took our order and let us know it would be around 20 minutes, so we left and came back. It probably ended up taking a little over 30 by the time we got our food but we were too hungry to worry about it. First, the portions are great. The container of fish pakora was packed all the way, it must have been 10 pieces. And for being in a takeout container, it still tasted mostly crispy and fresh. It had a light aromatic flavor to it, but was light enough to taste the fish, which was perfectly soft. The samosas were standard but good, especially with the tamarind and mint chutneys. The tandoori platter was surprisingly good, and was one of the dishes most different from a buffet experience. The meat was all super juicy and the marinade hadn't dried out or anything, so it formed a really flavorful sauce. Butter chicken and naan were standard but also all very good. This much food could've easily fed and satisfied four people, which for the price and quality seems really fair. I would definitely recommend coming here for their normal menu OR buffet, even if it takes a minute.

Thought I'd make dinner easy on the kids, so I ordered a cheese pizza to take out. I sat down after placing my order and ended up chatting with the owner for about 10-15 minutes while they made my pizza; I believe it was his daughter in the back making the food. I love family businesses, and they were extremely pleasant, awesome people. He also offered me a free drink while I waited for the pizza; I get it if I ordered $100+ in food, but I literally got an $18 cheese pizza for my kids. His generosity and friendly demeanor won me over as a customer. Kids loved the cheese pizza, too. Tonight was pizza night for the whole family so I ordered from here instead of my normal lamppost or wise guys. The kids got their usual cheese, and loved it, and the wife and I split the chicken Tikka, spicy with some tandoori wings. All was phenomenal. The wings were small, but that's not a knock - they're likely just not the GMO giants I'm used to from wing-stop. They were fresh and packed with flavor. The Tikka pizza with the garlic base, spicy seasoned chicken, green and red onion and cilantro was one of the best pizzas I've had. What started as a desire to support a neighborhood friendly family businesses has developed into an addition for Indian/Italian fusion. This is officially our new spot, despite being at the east-most end of Yorba Linda; we'll make the trek.

I needed up ordering the chicken over rice platter, the 6pc wings with the hot honey sauce (new), and the loaded fries. I'm so big on my nacho cheese over my chips or fries because it provides so much comfort in my mouth and tummy. The fries are nicely cooked, with warm and creamy nacho cheese and tons of season chicken. It was so flavorful and devoured it fast. The chicken over rice platter was well balanced with my protein, carbs, and fresh salad. Enjoyed it a lot with their tzatziki and mild green sauce which was perfect. The chicken wings itself were nicely cooked and crispy, with tender meat on the inside. Enjoyed it with their new hot honey sauce, which added a little kick of hot but balanced with some sweetness to it. Overall, all of the food i ordered was so delicious and worth spending money on because it's that good. The service was patient and friendly getting my order. It's a very chill and bright light environment. I definitely need to go back and try more of their menu!
