    CHICKEN MOMOS
    Aaliyah S.

    10/10 food, ambience, and service! Shout out to Issam. He's the best! We got the chicken momo, chana masala, lamb coconut curry, garlic cheese naan, and mango lassi. Everything was firee. No notes. I need to come back again and try the whole menu.

    Spicy Mango margarita

    What an amazing experience from start to finish! The service was immediate, our appetizers came out incredibly fast, and every single dish exceeded our expectations. We ordered the cauliflower, vegetable samosas (so yummy!), chicken vindaloo, butter chicken, and the boneless tandoori--which was hands down our favorite. The butter chicken was perfectly balanced in flavor: rich, creamy, and incredibly delicious without being overly sweet. The naan deserves a special mention. We ordered both the garlic naan and butter naan, and the garlic naan was next level. At so many restaurants the garlic ends up burned, but Zen Curry absolutely nailed it. It was perfectly cooked, full of flavor, and some of the best garlic naan we've had. We enjoyed a Taj Mahal beer and a mango margarita to round out the meal. Everything we ordered was fantastic, and the entire experience--from the food to the speed of service--made for a wonderful evening. Definitely great for dining with kiddos to as our son loved his food! Thank you, Zen Curry, for such a great time. We'll definitely be back!

    The service was amazing. The flavors were incredible. I don't come to Temecula often but when I do I will be sure to stop here again! One of the best Curry cousin I have ever had.

    So Yelp has a generic comment when you hit 5 stars... "Amazing! What went well.? EVERYTHING. The food here was amazing. The service was amazing. The cleanliness is amazing. We got the lamb on everything and it is great. We had the rack of lamb, lamb curry, lamb rice... omg so good. This is our spot. One caveat, it is a tad pricey but this is justified. It's not a cheap take out place but some good food with no expense spared. Like it love it will be back

    MIXED GRILL SAMPLER - came out steaming and was delicious!
    Jyothi C.

    Had a great experience with absolutely delicious food served with great service at this restaurant. Highly recommend their mixed grill platter for tender and flavorful grilled selection of meats. The ambiance is upbeat and fun - the place was packed during a weekday dinner time. Highly recommend if you're looking for some solid North Indian/Nepalese fusion food!

    Ambiance..nice place and plenty of seating Service..fast and friendly Food..butter chicken..fried rice..chow mein..appetizer platter..was amazing and plenty of food. We said no spice and they listened. The butter chicken was creamy. The friendly rice was my fav. Also the masala chai had good cardamom flavour..they also give papad and chutney which was good.

    WOW!!! Why have I never been here before!!?? First off our waiter Toya was great..It was my first time here and he helped to recommend some of the best chicken curry and other great tasting items..I've ever had! The lamb rice was delicious and the mango wings were very tasty! All in all if you haven't been here its a must try! Oh and how did i forget the Old Monk 10,0000 super beer he recommended!!!

    Tandoori chicken
    Tom S.

    Let me just say there is a reason why Zen Curry is ranked #22 on Yelp. Their food is delicious! We had the crispy cauliflower for our appetizer and it reminded me of a vegetarian version of kung pao. It was crispy and delicious. For our mains we had the tandoori chicken with roasted vegetables for an up charge of $8. We also had the coconut chicken curry and it came with jasmine rice. Both dishes were very flavorful. We ordered the garlic naan which was a great accompaniment to our meal The service provided by Issam was great and he suggested the roasted vegetables with the tandoori chicken which was a great suggestion. Katie who brought the dishes out to us was friendly and stated that she loves working there. The reason for the four stars is that the total bill was almost $100 for just the two of us and no drinks. This included a well deserved 20% tip. This is very pricey for two chicken dishes and a vegetable appetizer compared to other delicious Indian restaurants in the area. With that in mind we will be back but maybe on special occasions.

    CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA and SAAG PANEER
    Joy K.

    Best Indian - Nepal cuisine in Temecula and surrounding areas! The food is rich, flavorful and fresh. The owner takes real pride in everything about this restaurant, including quality of food, decor, and the friendly service of all the staff. We usually order spinach paneer and chicken curry, which is excellent here. Recently we were introduced to their butter chicken, vegetable briyani, steamed dumplings, and mango lassi, which we had during our most recent dining experience here. And then there is their garlic naan. I highly recommend anything I listed here! Also the roasted cauliflower. I guess so far everything I have eaten here has been a sure thing. Just be careful when enjoying this rich food and don't over do it. Voted #22 out of 100 of top places to eat in 2026 for a reason! Support this local business!

    Tried this spot as it caught our eye on the Yelp Top 100 list. The portions were great for the price, and each dish tasted great. Location and service are good.

The restaurant is large with a mix of tables and booths and the buffet is set-up on the back wall. There was a decent amount of food available, not too much to where the quality gets lost.

We had another 20% Off coupon, making this a very reasonably priced meal. The inside is big with a lot of tables. It's not fancy, just casual. Service was good. Food came out super fast. At 6pm we were the only ones in the restaurant. Apparently they get very busy during their buffet that goes from 11am-2:40 pm daily for $15.99. I would like to return to try the buffet.

The Cauliflower 65 and Pav Bhaji were cooked fresh on the tava right in front of guests, and the aroma alone had people lining up. For dessert, the Ras Malai was rich and perfectly sweet, served alongside authentic Indian masala tea that tied the whole meal together. Every guest commented on the variety and freshness of the food. Nothing was pre-made or reheated. This team clearly takes pride in their craft, and it showed in every dish. Highly recommend for any event, large or small.

We stopped for dinner and the did not appear busy. There was plenty of free parking available in the shopping center and indoor/outdoor seating. It was very windy and too cold to eat outside, so we opted to eat inside. There were only four tables to choose from and one bathroom. This became an issue when someone was already using the bathroom, probably blowing it up since it had already been five plus minutes, and both of my kids had to go (we ended up going to Trader Joe's to use the bathroom). The food finally came out. We ordered 2 tri-tip plates, a chicken sandwich, a kids quesadilla w/rice, and 4 drinks. I was concerned about the tri-tip after reading many others complaining about it being overcooked. This was not an issue. The meat came out cooked perfectly, but the pieces were small. The mashed potatoes were good and buttery. The mac & cheese was good and had a nice flavor. The Brussel sprouts were undercooked, hard, and bland. The bread had soaked up the blood from the tri-tip and was soggy gross. The kids quesadilla was literally 2 store bought tortillas and some sprinkled cheddar cheese that wasn't even melted in between. I didn't care for it, but I'm glad my son ate it. Overall, I had high expectations for this place and it was lacking.

We met up with a buddy from Riverside here as a halfway point, and it turned out to be an amazing spot. Situated right on the scenic Temecula Duck Pond, the restaurant offers an open brewery vibe, a spacious outdoor beer garden, and plenty of room for kids and adults to relax. The Food Breakdown OBC Breadsticks (4-Pack): Delicious and fresh. They come with two dippers--stick to the classic plain garlic butter sauce for the best bite. Lost Traveler's Noodles: Really good. We added the extra shrimp--it pairs amazingly well with the flavorful, slow-roasted pork. OBC Tri-Tip Plate: Cooked to absolute perfection--came out exactly how we like it (medium-rare). Shrimp Tacos: Our friend ordered these when he arrived and completely devoured them. Our server, Amy, was attentive, friendly, and made our visit seamless. Tips: Bring the Whole Family (Dogs Included!): The outdoor patio is extremely kid-friendly and pet-friendly--they even have a "Dog Patty" on the menu for four-legged guests. Come with a Group: The portions are generous. Bringing a bigger group allows you to order more small plates and pizzas to share across the table. Have you been to Oscar's Brewing Company yet?
