This is a hidden gem of a restaurant a couple of blocks off the main area of Carlsbad Village Drive with easy street parking--the perfect place for a delicious meal after a day at the beach. Wasn't super crowded for dinner on a Saturday night, so a good alternative to the sunset crowd. They also have takeout available.The ambiance is casual, with booth and table seating, very clean. It's clearly a family run business which takes pride in its food. Service is a bit slow, but friendly.We had the chicken tikki masala, the salmon masala and the plain and garlic herb naan with basmati rice--came out hot and so flavorful with a 4/10 spicy just as we requested. They have a fairly large menu, so there is something for everyone. Next time I will try the sizzling tandoori chicken the next table ordered--smelled and looked delicious!Definitely give this place a try!

Came as a party of 2 on Saturday at 2 PM. The food was incredible!! From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm hospitality and a cozy, inviting atmosphere that set the stage for an unforgettable dining experience. There was no wait and there was a parking lot behind the restaurant.Vegetable Samosa 8.5/10; Crispy exterior and the seasoning was delicious! Paired with the chutney was amazing.Himalayan Balti 8/10; This dish is packed with a medley of fresh vegetables cooked in a flavorful, aromatic sauce. Portion size is great for sharing! The garlic naan paired with this was spectacular.Lamb Tikka Masala 8/10; lamb was tender and the sauce was perfect with the rice

I had the Salmon Tandoori. It was awesome. It was clean and convenient. I'll be back to explore the menu.

What a find. Easy parking as it was located just beyond the main downtown hub of action. Skilled and friendly staff. Ordered the tandoori salmon. It came on a sizzling, steaming platter, with four large and beautifully seared pieces of salmon, along with carrots, cabbage, onion and peppers. Was hands-down the best we've ever had. Seasoned and cooked perfectly. The Aloo Gobi was also absolutely delicious (cauliflower and potatoes curry). Finally, the plain naan was cooked to perfection. We can't wait to return.

I wish I could rate the food separate from the service. Five stars for the food. We've eaten at many Indian restaurants over the years and I'd have to say that our food was one of the best we've ever had. Portion sizes were perfect and shrimp was tender and tasted fresh. Plenty of meat in both dishes. Six extra large shrimp in mine. The place was very clean, including the bathrooms. Prices were good. Our dishes were in the $15-16 range (as of June 2024).

WOW!!!!! Best in the state, guaranteed. We were eating at another place in the busy village faire shopping center, pain to park and what a mistake....this place is at least 3x better!!! I cannot recommend it enough. The chicken eggplant dish has the most delicious sauce I've ever had, tikka masala sauce is so so decadent and delicious, everything to die for. Even the garlic cilantro naan was the best I've ever had. WOW WOW WOW!!!! I could eat here every day for the rest of my life!

This place is so good. I usually eat here most nights when I'm in the area for work. I'm a white dude so Indian food is somewhat new to me. It's really good people serving really good food. Hard to find places like this these days.
