Best hole in the wall! Chicken Makhani, veggie korma, chicken curry, samosas were some of our favorites. Everything is always so good here!

Reading Claudia P's review made me realize how much I miss this place so decided to go here for dinner tonight. I agree with Claudia, this is some of the best Indian food I've had in the US and I've spent extensive time in India. It's a family operated business and the staff is super friendly. This is off the beaten path in an industrial complex that might get overlooked. It gets incredibly busy for lunch. There is limited seating and a cute outdoor patio area. The food is flavorful and delicious. The portions are huge and I usually have plenty of leftovers. Love it here!

In my opinion this is the best place to go for value, authenticity and taste when you're craving Indian. You can't beat their combos which for around $13-15 will give you rice, naan, raita or kheer, and 1-2 different types of curries. The variety is outstanding and they have something for every taste and enjoyment. I strongly recommend their paneers and especially their lamb rogan Josh. The family that work here are great, friendly and provide fantastic service. This is a place that's probably more for take out but you'll find a comfortable seat inside or out if you want to eat here. It might be out of the way but it's worth the drive. Definitely worth visiting and filling up on some authentic and delicious curries.

Misleading pictures. Not a buffet. Awfully small portions, way overpriced.

Great lunch spot! One of my favorite Indian restaurants in Mira Mesa/Mira Mar area. I love the Chicken Tikka Marsala and Garlic Naan. The Chicken Vindaloo is very good as well. If you like spicy make sure to ask for extra spice.

I have been here for lunch many times and they are always great quality and very delicious. The food is always hot and fresh. The chicken curry and tikka masala are great together for creamy and spicy. So glad they open later now and can come for dinner.

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST INDIAN FOOD IN SAN DIEGO!!!! I found this hole in the wall 10 years ago and it's one of my favorites. I've been to their Sorrento Valley location and it's good too. This location is my go to. I've ordered everything and it's all so good. I recommend their mushroom dish with the tamarind and green spicy green sauce with the garlic nann. I love this place!!! A must try and you'll love it too!!

The menu! The food was still amazing as always! The people here are very welcoming and kind. The ambience feels nice like at home.

Its a family run business and want to support. Food was ok nothing exceptional. Its been modified to suit local palates and lacks the authentic taste of the cuisine. Hope they adjust it a bit so people like me who know the cuisine will frequent the place!

Very disappointed the last time we ordered here. I used to work nearby and would be STUFFED from a 3 chicken curry combo. My go to is the butter chicken and chicken vindaloo. My husband loves the lamb curry and mushroom masala. This recent order, we decided to get the 2 person combo which came with a side of tandoori chicken and samosas. SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT AND RIP OFF!! The chicken was so dehydrated, it was not edible - felt like they served us leftovers that they left out overnight from yesterday. Samosas were cold and soggy. Then, on top of that, the curries were mostly liquid with hardly any protein. Sad. We'll chalk it to maybe an off day and give it one more chance. Will update next time.
