“It's hard to find Indian/Nepalese (aka Himalayan) restaurants. It's basically Indian food with even more flavor. This place definitely lives up to the expectations. The food is incredibly flavorful, the naan is awesome, and they even have a few draft beers to boot!“
“Visited with in laws during our trip to socal this Easter break. I thought it was at the Irvine spectrum but it was closer to the industrial center and thus, easier parking (although may hard to find at first). I can tell this place is hectic during the business day lunch break. Order at the counter then wait for your food; ours was not a long wait on a Saturday at 4pm. Many options. Many many many! So take your time and be adventurous but always, always get the mint chuntney. Flavors will rock your socks off. I think this business model would lend itself to fast expansion like Cava or Chipotle so I wish all the best to the staff and ownership. Very approachable, easy to enjoy Indian food (albeit not maybe 100% authentic, but it’s still very satisfying)“
“Masala Bae offers a delightful solution for Indian food lovers on a budget. Their all-you-can-eat option provides excellent value without compromising on quality or variety. With a diverse selection of curries, including both meat and vegan options, every palate is catered to. The rich, flavorful curries burst with aromatic spices, delivering an authentic culinary experience. Don't miss out on pairing your curry with their delectable garlic naan, a perfect complement to the meal. And for dessert, indulge in their heavenly mango creations, reminiscent of a refreshing mango smoothie combined with creamy mango goodness. Masala Bae truly elevates the dining experience with their affordable yet delicious offerings.“
“An oddly authentic atmosphere staffed by 100% Hispanic workers. The lunch special is a good deal. Wish they would give you real plates though.Vegetarian options: I think you'll have an easy timeDietary restrictions: seems ok with celiacs and nondairy.Parking: pretty easyKid-friendliness: it's food, but there's nothing targeted at childrenWheelchair accessibility: seems fine, even the bathroom“
“Amazing service and great food at such an good price. They offered us samples of their dishes and offered to alter spice levels for the Al LA carte items. They also filled the containers to the brim and were friendly and kind the whole time. Will definitely come back for the best Indian food nearby!“

It can be a little spicy for folks who don't eat it and the staff here are really considerate of that. This place is a must visit for anyone who likes biryani.“

“My friends and I are regulars of this restaurant! For those who relish a fiery kick, be sure to specify your preference for spice intensity (0-10. for me, 7 is good).Our favorites are: chicken pepper fry, andhra goat, chicken kadai, and chicken biryani.In addition to their amazing food, the service here is exemplary. They are very attentive and efficient, the staff consistently go above and beyond to ensure a perfect dining experience!“
“I was suddenly craving Indian food and have never tried this local business. I was not disappointed. Their butter chicken and garlic naan were so yummy. I also ordered a mango lassi. They served big portions so 1 butter chicken could be enough to share between 2 people. 10/10 would recommend.“
“Went here on the 4th of July weekend for lunch. The service was quick maybe because the restaurant was pretty empty.We ordered a couple of curries, roti, naan and mango lassi. Mango lassi was the best I would say. The paneer makhni was too tangy and tasted tomato all over. Dal tadka was slightly watery and could be thicker.Good place for a quick bite. Would definitely try again to give them another chance.“
“We ordered 4 things - Butter Chicken, Veg Thali, Onion Masala Rava Dosa & Podi Masala Dosa. All the items were delivered within 5 minutes of ordering & all of it was served hot and fresh.Loved the fact that the restaurant services are fast with the entire place full of people. Would definitely recommend 10/10.“
“Superb food and awesome service. We ordered Kashmiri dum aloo, Bhindi masala, malai kofta, Sahi paneer saag matar, assorted bread etc- everything came out so tasty. All of us enjoyed the food, drinks and amazing service. Mr. Puri Ali and their team always make it special.“
“BEST NIGHT IVE HAD IN AWHILE! THE FOOD WAS ABSOLUTELY DELICIOUS BUT THE TOILET.. OH THE TOILET WAS SOMETHING I HAVENT SEEN IN AWHILE. NEVER HAVE IVE SEEN A BATHROOM LIKE THAT! LEMME TELL YOU THE FOOD WAS AMAZING AND FRESH BUT THE TOILET WAS EXQUISITE!!“
“Despite its fast-casual setup, this is one of my favourite places to order Indian food. The chicken biryani is delicious with fragrant basmati rice and juicy chicken chunks. I also like the bite-sized and large versions of the crunchy samosas. I'm a huge fan of street food, and Curry Up Now does it best.“
“Vishnu Catering did a spectacular job at the event that I planned for ~100 people in Santa Barbara. They showed up on time, prepared, and were very professional to work with throughout the entire process. We haven't even gotten to the food yet - every single person at the event (desi and non-desi) enjoyed the food and praised the food to us. Of note, the rasmalai, double ka meetha, mutton curry, mango daal, chai, apollo fish, mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, paneer makhani, aloo gobi, and more. You can't go wrong by choosing Vishnu Catering for your event. They were a hit. Thanks Ram, for all the effort and for helping making our day so special.“
“I’ve never write a review to any place ever, but this place really worth to be reviewed.The food and the service are perfect!!!!I suggest everyone to visit here if they are a fan of indian food.They have the best modern Indian dished with a prettiest design ever.I don’t know the server name (she was a blond lady) she was soo professional!!!!!!Loveeee this placee!!!!“
“It's a reasonable lunch for the price. It's a cute buffet and although it doesn't have a lot of variety, the food is delicious. The naan was so delicious. You can park right in front and to the side without any problems. Lunch is from 11:00am to 2:30pm and costs $17.95. There is only one outdoor magnet... If the weather is warm, the shade of the trees is a good place^^“
“this place is pretty solid if you like authentic and very consistent. the deals that they have are not really deals where you have to buy drinks because the drinks are a bit overpriced. overall, I give this a solid 4 stars. service is what you would expect for fast casual food.“
“This is a hidden restaurant of authentic Indian curries and I'm sure it guarantees the most quality and flavor in the area. I had chicken marquee and vandalu combo number four and I feel healthy! If you're in Irvine, make sure you visit this place!!“
“I love this place! My partner and I often come here for the lunch special, but my favorite thing to order is Matter Paneer for dinner! Tried many places before deciding this was THE ONE.Vegetarian options: I think they have a great selection of vegetarian items! My favorites are aloo goblin, matter panner, and the vegetable korma!“
“Manu was our server and was incredibly helpful, friendly, and kind. He was attentive to our table and treated us well. The food was delicious and the ambiance was nice. White table cloth and classy table dressings. I would definitely recommend this spot to locals and visitors like us. Also in a great walkable area to shopping and the beach. Thanks again Manu“
