Not only is this the BEST Indian restaurant in the area but the fact they are seemingly almost entirely plastic free is amazing. Huge turn off for me that plagues every restaurant lately is plastic food or drink contact. It skeves me out, and should skeve you out as well. Plastic glasses, plates, and cheap silverware. From my experience Zen Curry had real glasses and plates and even the rice and meal was served in glass or metal. Straw was the only thing that was plastic and you could take it or leave it. Paper straws suck. Than You read more

Returned for another great dining experience, wife had salmon, daughter had chicken, and I had chicken fried rice.. All of the meals were very well prepared, presented nicely, and delicious. Excellent service, not loud ambience, and very clean. The serving size was large and more than adequate for the large appetite - required take home containers. Recommend and will return. read more

My husband and I love Indian food and this spot did not disappoint! The restaurant had a nice ambiance and the staff were very attentive and friendly. I believe our server's name was Promo, he was super nice and helpful in helping us decide what to order. We tried a variety of dishes including the lamb biryani, vegetable coconut curry, chicken jhol momo, and chicken malai kabob and all were delicious. The biryani was flavorful and not dry at all, the curry was flavorful and balanced, but the momos were a personal favorite. Very well seasoned and juicy! We got medium spicy for our dishes but it wasn't too spicy and perfect for us, we'll probably even go for spicy next time. The menu was huge so we're excited to come and back and try all of their other dishes. Definitely adding to our list of favorite restaurants in Temecula! read more

Oh my goodness this place was so wonderful. We sat outside on the patio and it was quiet and beautiful. The food was tasty and non of the meats were dry, but instead super moist and amazing. The bread basket was something else. If you love naan this is it. It was filled with some many different types. My kids had a blast and that made it fun for us adults. This will be our go to Indian place from now on. read more

Excellent service, excellent food, excellent atmosphere, and all around good price! I will definitely be going back.

We celebrated my dad's birthday at this restaurant, and from the reservation to the very end, the service was absolutely immaculate. Every staff member we interacted with was helpful, kind, and communicated seamlessly with each other, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. The atmosphere was calm, inviting, and cheerful, which made the celebration even more special. The food was delicious and unique. I ordered the tofu saag curry along with the veggie platter and veggie momos. We also ordered chicken dishes as well and the family liked the taste. Unlike typical Punjabi Indian cuisine, the flavors were distinctive to the Nepalese region and did not disappoint. Everything we tried was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. The owner was incredibly kind, even treating us to dessert on the house, which was such a thoughtful touch. Although we are 50 miles away, this is absolutely a place worth stopping at for excellent food and service. Highly recommend this restaurant! read more

All I can say is chili garlic fish. Everything was good but the chili garlic fish had such texture and depth of flavor I could have eaten a bucket of it. The naan was good and the jeera rice was also good. The yogurt lassi complemented everything. read more

I'm a fan of Indian food and have tried so many places . This is my 1st time here and ordered 3 dishes. Shrimp coconut curry , boneless tandoori, Butter Chicken and Garlic naan . All the dishes taste so excellent and 10 times better than the regular Indian restaurant. Even the naan tastes better . The atmosphere is perfect, very clean and luxurious with beautiful Indian songs. The service was excellent. You can tell they do really care about you . Sorry that i didn't took any pictures of the foods , forgot about it and didn't mean to write any reviews from the beginning. read more

The food is outstanding--high quality ingredients, bold flavors, and consistently delicious dishes. Every visit feels intentional and well executed. The service is equally impressive.

Owner Hari deserves recognition for the way he supports the Temecula business community.

I visited this place with my friends. As usual, the food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the chilli fish appetizer along with the grilled tandoori salmon, veg biryani, garlic naan, and chicken curry. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted fresh and healthy without being overly oily, so we enjoyed the meal guilt-free. We even got extra chicken curry and garlic naan to go! The owners, Toya and Hari, were incredibly friendly and thoughtful. They took the time to explain how they prepare the food with the customers' health and wellbeing in mind, which we truly appreciated. It's clear they genuinely care about both the quality of the food and their customers. We love this place and will definitely be back. read more

First time ordering food from here. Zen Curry is at the corner of Overland & Margarita (it was a little hard to find the place). There's a lot of parking since this area is not a high traffic area and is tucked away in the very corner of the shopping center. As you walk in, you will be greeted by the inviting aroma of Indian spices! Yumm!! We ordered the Saag Paneer, Chicken Vindaloo, 2 orders of Samosas, and 2 orders of Garlic Naan. My favorite, the Saag Paneer was perfectly cooked, and the fragrant scent of the spice blend was just so delightful!! This dish comes w a side of basmati rice. Saag Paneer is a very good vegetarian option! The Chicken Vindaloo was made with dark meat chicken and also very enjoyable! This dish comes w a side of basmati rice. The Samosa were very good. It was really flavorful and when I poured some chutney on it, it was phenomenal! The Garlic Naan was really good! For 2 orders, they gave us a lot. We enjoyed the food from here and have yet to try other dishes in the future. The hostess at the front was very helpful and greeted us w a smile. read more

Food is always phenomenal. I love the pumpkin curry with goat meat. Cheesy garlic naan is the go to! Gobi and jhol momos are a great appetizer. Their chocolate dumplings definitely need to be steamed longer. I highly recommend prioritizing quality over how quickly they can get these out. Delicious place. read more

Oh my gosh, so happy I found this place. Actually found through Groupon. Surprised because usually Groupon food is from businesses that aren't very impressive, but this place was AMAZING!!!! It is so beautiful and elegant inside. Very peaceful ambience. Got the Lunch special with butter chicken and ordered a masala chai. Best food I think I've had ever! So full of flavor. I had to close my eyes to just experience it lol The chai had an amazing flavor , so authentic and you could taste the quality. Now I know why they have the Groupon.... To get you addicted. Haha At least that happened to me. Will be coming back very soon and very often. Also, I got my order to go, but it so soooo thoughtfully packed. Everything was safely sealed and the portions were impressive. Great attention to detail. Do yourself a favor and check this place out. Thank you Zen curry!!! I can tell you take pride in your restaurant. You have a new customer for sure. read more

We came in for an early dinner tonight and decided to try somewhere new. We live locally and have been making a point to explore more neighborhood spots, and Zen Curry has been on our list for a while. I'm so glad we finally stopped in. Saurav was our server, and he seated us right away. He was fantastic--friendly, attentive, and genuinely helpful. He took the time to explain the menu, share some background about the dishes, and made great recommendations. We ordered the garlic cheese naan, chicken curry, and chicken chili. When the food arrived, we were blown away. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, the chicken was tender and flavorful, and the naan was the perfect combination of crispy and cheesy. You could really taste the quality and care in every dish. The ambiance was also wonderful. The lighting was warm and inviting, and the restaurant was decorated beautifully for Valentine's Day. It's clear the owners take pride in the space and the overall experience. We'll definitely be back very soon. read more

Absolutely a great place to try out of you after looking for Indian food. We ordered two lunch specials $14.99 each. The main dish with rice and naan. The shrimp was plump and juicy, sauce was on point. The lamb was tender and seasoned well. Lunch portion was big enough to fill you but not overstuff you. Our server was excellent as well. You got to flush it all down with the mango lassi. read more

We are not fans of "hot" food, but we went anyway and had a great time. The restaurant is well appointed. The attention to detail was note worthy, though I'm hardly any kind of a restaurant snob. Our server explained and recommended. I like that. We ordered a chicken curry, and on the 1 to 5 for spice, we asked for negative 2! The server laughed but gave us something we could eat. I had a glass of wine with our shared dinner. Excellent service and food. $45 out the door. I look forward to taking friends to the place. It's good enough you'll need a reservation on the busiest days of the week (Fri, Sat, Sun), and I understand why. Highly recommended! read more
