    I have to try every Indian restaurant in town. I want to know which is the best. This would be second on my list in Oceanside. We tried their weekend brunch; 11:30-2:30. I love a buffet. This way I can come back and get a regular meal that I know I will like. They have a nice spread. Pictures included. Service was okay and the place is small but smells great.

    We finally stopped by for the weekend buffet , and wow, what a spread! At $20 per person, it's such a great value for the variety and freshness. There's a nice balance of vegetarian and meat dishes, and everything tastes like it's made with care. The chai is self-serve and perfectly spiced, and it just ties the whole experience together. It's such a fun way to sample the menu before deciding what to order for takeout next time. Warm, flavorful, and full of color this is the kind of spot that turns "just lunch" into a little celebration

    Going to try something new turned out to be amazing and looking forward to returning. Staff 5-star, Ambiance 4-star and the food I wish to say a 10-star. I'm new to this type of food but man the meat tender, flavors great, sauces just amazing. Great Job to the chef and waitstaff.

    Small family owned restaurant with well presented Indian food. We came for the lunch buffet after church and were impressed by the offerings. The sweetest surprise was the chai tea is also included in the buffet. I am really picky when it comes to naan bread. Theirs is actually in my top 3, and l LOVE Indian food (read: l eat a lot of it). Even when l came back to it maybe 10 mins later, it was still pillowy soft. Amazing! The inside has maybe 4 tables and there is also seating outside. We will definitely come back. I am thankful to Yelpers not leading us astray on this one. Wish l had come here 3 years ago when we had just moved here. We have been missing out!

    I ordered the chicken Tiki masala with some butter naan bread. Food was flavored nicely. The sauce for the chicken masala was different than I've tried a different places but still fine. Naan bread was very stale and overcooked. Might come back and try something different.

    Six indoor tables and outdoor seating too.

    Finally-authentic Indian cuisine plus personable, excellent service in North San Diego County! We enjoyed the amazing dishes with mild spice levels as requested (yes, they actually listened!) including aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, and more! Be sure to chat with the owner. She's terrific. We will definitely be back.

    Tiny small portions of curry sides. $20 for two sides w/rice and naan. I'm not impressed the chicken was not fresh and it lacked in taste.

    When is the buffet?

    It's on the weekend, I believe between 11:30 and 2:30

    Is it safe for someone with a shellfish allergy to eat non-shellfish dishes? Does this restaurant practice cross-contamination safety?

    Not sure ..

    Are the meats halal?

    The meat is 100% Halal

    Hey Yelpers. I have been so excited for this place to open, anyone know if they have gluten free options? I'll likely be calling and asking the restaurant so I can write a review but thought I'd throw it out to see if anyone has asked yet :)

    Yes we do have gluten free options . Except for few appetizers and breads .. most of the curries are gluten free . Please ask , if u have any queries .. before you order ..

I placed my order over the phone for take out, and it was ready in about 20 minutes. When I walked in to pick it up, the place was about 80% full and the food smelled great. Tandoori Guys did not disappoint. Everything we ordered was excellent. Chicken Tiki Masala, Butter Chicken Curry, Sag Paneer, Yellow Dall, Chana Masala, Basmati Rice, Garlic Naan and Papadams. The food is very flavorful and the chicken was nice and tender. We ordered everything medium spicy, but it really tasted like it was hot spicy. We all worked up a sweat eating it. I'm not complaining. Usually when I order food at a medium spice, I can barely taste the heat, but there is plenty of heat to be had over here. Definitely delicious. The Tandoori Guys make some delicious food, and I look forward to going back for more.

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!!!

One of them was the chicken shawarma, and it was so good! We were able to grab a charming spot outside near their garden, where they actually grow some of the fresh ingredients used in the dishes.

This time around, it's just the family for Mother's Day. Since I know my food, the table let me order. Fresh hand cut thick long French Fries without a ton of seasoning or oil arrived: one with a cashew cheese truffle sauce, one with no salt, and one salted as requested. My daughter loved her reuben. I loved my blt. The two Caesar salads for the table disappeared quickly because their dressing is unbelievable! Let's see .... what didn't we eat is probably smarter than what did we eat. Beet ketchup, The C Word (braised cabbage), a couple of cronic sushi rolls, and there was a special lemon creme brûlée. Everyone enjoyed everything they ate, including my almost 3 year old grandson (they brought out a specially sliced fruit bowl for him). They offered many choices for kids, but he just wanted fruit. Hope you had as wonderful a Mother's Day as I did. Yes. We appreciated eating healthy and not walking away stuffed but instead satisfied. They were selling plants. So I bought 4 and planted them today! The gift that keeps on giving! We will be back for sure! With garlic, gusto & gratitude, Chef Marian
