47 Best Indian Restaurants near Tustin

“Busy place! So it must be good! We should have got the buffet but wanted to try our favorites. Chicken tikka was ok. A little too spicy that over powered the flavor. All I could taste was salt. The opposite on the palak paneer. It did not have enough salt. Naan was awesome. Overall want to try again but will get the buffet next time. Still looking for the ultimate chicken tikka!“

“This place genuinely has the best Indian food I’ve ever had. Their lunch buffet provides a massive array of incredible options, fit for anyones taste. Everything was fantastic, but I HIGHLY recommending trying the biryani. Not to mention the unbelievable mango lassi to pair with the meal.

The buffet is also clean and I was able to get seated immediately on a weekday afternoon.“

“Excellent Indian food“

“My favorite buffett lunch in town!!! Great price, unlimited naan, great service, amazing owner! This is my go to Indian food in Orange County.“

“One of the most sub standard experience! The food had all the same curry base, made from canned ingredients. The staff was unhelpful and did not care at all. The seating is narrow and cheap. The portion size of s horrible. The taste of the food is awe filling because it’s probably microwaved rather than cooked properly. Horrible experience. Stay away! There are better Indian restaurants.“

“It’s bad the lady is so rude, she don’t know how to handle the customers“

“We ordered some tandoori chicken and the chicken 65, and let me tell you that the food was absolutely delicious! The flavours were wonderful and were cooked beautifully. A charmingly clean place tucked away quaintly in the block. We have found our new favourite place!“

“The food was really good. Preet was our server. He was very friendly and constantly asked us about the food. I have been here many times before. My fav is Aloo paratha, tandoori aloo, and the desert is rasmalai. Would definitely recommend you to try here“

“Chicken tikka masala, goat curry and biryani was delicious. Every dish we tried was exceptional, showcasing a high level of creativity and attention to detail. The flavors were well-balanced and unique. The service was also impeccable; the staff were friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive.

It reminds more like a hometown vibes. Especially, Himalayan soup.“

“food is really good . specially dosa“

“This is my 4th time coming here. Their food is sooo good 😊
Every I came here, I wrote a review but they seemed to have disappeared so I’m writing a new one. I ordered the chicken biryani because my server Amid recommended it. Amid was very courteous and attentive. If you like Indian food, this is one of the best 😋“

“Simply delicious. The curry bowls are bowls full of yummy comfort and the paratha flatbread is perfection. I am officially obsessed with this hidden gem. The restaurant is family owed and it shows in the food. I love supporting the local family owed businesses, especially when they are this good.“

“Plan being to go today and read the recent 3 reviews but have been in their buffet multiple times. My daughter love their shahi paneer and palak paneer with Bhindi and I like their butter chicken to go. That is all happened very frequently up until last 2 weeks. I will share another note after I am done today with my and 2 of my friends and family!!“

“A man from a far country came to this restaurant, tired and hungry, and bought some Indian food. Much to his embarrassment the credit card denied the transaction. No problem, said the seller, take it and pay another time. God Bless you noble @Sandeep Kumar and your staff ברכה והצלחה בכל מעשי ידיך“

“Cosy little place amidst a mix use area (offices and residential Apartments). They serve a la carte and also have special lunch combo options where one can choose two gravy side dishes with rice and naans. The place is value for money, food looks like Indian dishes but is heavily toned down to suit the American palate... The Taste is nothing like you get in India. Edible and passable though.

Big thumbs up to the service staff.. they are super friendly and will greet you with a smile... Unlike a lot of other outlets here where the staff couldn't care less if you want something or not.“

“After many days we felt that we had a proper authentic food. The service was so welcoming. We had Veggie korma with gilli naan and a must try briyani. The team is new and could feel the taste of each bite. The new owner had served many hollywood stars and had been in the business for more than 15years. We will be for sure their regular customers. To many more curries and naan.“

“They serve authentic Hyderabadi biryani, but only on fri-sun. I tried first time and def on my next visit to Irvine I will go this place. Also , first Indian restaurant in So cal which serve rumali roti . Must go place if you are in Orange County

Vegetarian options: Hyderabadi biryani and paneer butter masala“

“Masala Curry is a real gem of Anaheim. I get warm welcome with delicious Indian cuisine every time I visited. They provide good quality with affordable prices. I highly recommend them for dine, to-go and catering as well.“

“This place is a hidden gem! My family and I recently dined here and the food and the service was beyond our expectations. The service was great and very prompt. The food was made fresh and had a lot of flavor. We ordered Indo-Chinese appetizers, curry with paneer, fried rice, and butter garlic naan. Everything was excellent and the size of the naan was huge. They were very soft and served hot. The flavor in all the dishes was great. Traditionally, food at Indian restaurants is very mediocre and bland in taste. Flavors here were well balanced. And best of all, the price was very reasonable per entree. Most places charge upwards to $20 per curry entree, and provide very small quantities. Here it was around $12-$14, with good quantity. The only draw back was that this restaurant is located next to a smoke shop, and with the restaurants main door open with barely any AC working, smoke traveled inside the restaurant and it was very annoying to be in that atmosphere, especially with little kids. But the restaurant server was kind enough to keep the door closed and tried to adjust the AC unit to provide some air in an otherwise stuffy atmosphere. I would definitely recommend this place. We sure will be visiting again soon.“

“This place is amazing. Fresh food and great service!!!“

“Great food, lunch buffet, friendly people“

“I was there for a sangeet.. food was excellent... out of all the places i have eaten at. Food here actually tastes better“

“Awesome food and service. Interior decor is unique. We had a party there and everyone loved their creative drinks as well. Try their gulab jamun ice cream, paneer tikka for sure. Actually their kadi pakora was quite flavorful too. I am a vegetarian and of course they had a lot of variety for me however they have a full menu with non-veg items as well. See what stands out to you.“

“It’s an Indian restaurant with most of the Indian staff .They know the real taste of India“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“it had been a few years since we were here. That was a mistake. We realize had much we missed it. The ambiance, the service and oh my, the food was delicious. My Indian husband and his Indian nephew and cousin were with us. We had 3 appetizers. I had the chicken Biryani, mild as requested, but very flavorful, hubs had a lamb dish and the others had vegetarian 😋. My husband complimented the owner when we were leaving. White tablecloths, fine artwork, authentic food, served artfully. A true 5 star dining experience. Royal Khyber now moves to the top of our go to restaurants 😀“

“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.“

“For me, new flavors. I will be back.“

“Dining at Kulfime was more than a meal, it felt like a warm hug. The cozy atmosphere and kind, welcoming made me feel right at home. Every dish was crafted with care, bursting with authentic flavors that instantly comforted my soul. The portions were generous, the prices fair, and the experience unforgettable. Whether you're a longtime fan of Indian food or new to it, this is the kind of place that leaves you smiling long after you’ve left. I can’t wait to return and relive the magic!!“

“The food is delicious! 🤤👌🏻“

“Best ethnic food we’ve had:). Thank you so much!!“

“💯👌🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 perfect……………………..“

“Indian is my wife's jam, I'm okay with it. We went here with our son for dinner and we're nicely surprised. We did family style and got a number of tasty dishes. But the crowd pleaser was the Indian pickles, which we had never had. Our server cautioned us, said they are very good, but can be spicy. We tried and really liked them as an accompaniment to our various dishes. Definitely going back.“

“First visit to this store. Fantastic selection of British foods at a reasonable price Very clean and organized. Friendly staff. Will definitely return in the future.“

“Loved this spot. My favorite Pakistani restaurant so far in Orange County! Fine dining restaurant with great ambience. Food was great. Delicious, flavorful, filling Desi food. Definitely recommend the lamb chops and Chicken Karhai.“

“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!!“

“Natraj’s is our FAVORITE place to eat in SoCal!“

“Delighted by my midday visit to Urban Punjab in garden grove for a lunch at 3 PM—serendipity in its timing as they were open and welcoming. Tucked away in a modest shopping center that also boasts a superb shawarma joint, this place is a hidden treasure. The tandoori chicken and dal makhani I savored transported my taste buds straight to the streets of Delhi with their authentic, extraordinary flavors. The lacha paratha? Simply genius. Service was extraordinary, matched by the unique touch of serving drinks in metal, regal glasses that elevate the dining experience to one of noble indulgence. Having the pleasure of meeting both owners, their dedication was evident in every aspect. I'm looking forward to a return visit with loved ones in tow, ready to embark on a culinary expedition through their entire menu. Heartfelt thanks to Urban Punjab for a five-star experience.“

“Had the best Indian food here while traveling away from India! The chef did a superb job, and my friends and I were stuffed silly. I particularly liked the dal makhni and garlic naan, while my friend thought the lamb curry was delightful. Definitely returning on my next SoCal visit! My sister is also a fan. Can too easily pack on the pounds here! Drank a lot of their infused water too.“

“Delicious food and you can tell it's made with care and Chapli kebab plate was the perfect amount of food and left me content... the rice was so good too (and its just rice i know but the way they make it is awesome).... I definitely will be reordering soon.“

“Very good indian food love the curries and naan is the best ive ever had!“

“Reshmi recently provided live Dosa center at my daughter's party. Everything about the Dosa center was perfect. Our guests enjoyed it a lot. Taste, presentation and variety of Dosa's was a big hit. I would definitely recommend her for events Incase you are considering“

“Go to Indian food spot. I usually always get palak chicken and veggie korma. Portions are always reasonable, always have left overs for the next day. You should definitely try if you always wanted to try Indian food but didn’t know where or what to get.“

“Food is excellent, excellent service , they take the time to make sure food is 100 % perfect and flavors are amazing!!!!!“

“So delicious! Where else can you get vegan tikka masala, butter tofu, saag tofu.. tell me, I wanna know! So hard to find. So pleased they offer so many vegan options beyond the normal chana, dal, bhindi, aloo we usually get. I missed having a creamy, rich tikka! The tofu butter masala was my favorite (at least I think I was that one - the darker orange one). Closest to a tikka one might have had before going vegan. Absolutely loved it. Called and confirmed everything on the "Indian Vegan Cafe" menu is 100% vegan. I bet you can also just go to Southern Spice and sit down and order it. I'll have to try someday. I did pickup after placing a GrubHub order - be warned, it seemed to take longer than the non vegan orders, wasn't ready quite when the app said it was. Not really a "ghost kitchen"... really just Southern Spice's vegan menu but separated into a different name for ordering. TLDR - highly recommend, especially if you're craving more creamy (but vegan!) Indian curries! Updated from previous review on 2023-06-08“

“Wow, [this place is amazing! If something tastes better than you expected, you could use the word wow to express your surprise. ... Food is really yummy you should try once we really love chicken wings and seek kabab...... the best thing food is fresh , Flavorful and delicious 🤤 I try many different places before but this is my favorite place now“
