Hands down our favorite Indian restaurant! We order here at least once a month. The butter chicken delicious. Could drink the sauce. Garlic naan buy two. Trust me. Saag paneer, I'm not a big cooked spinach person. But I can't get enough of this. Chicken tandoori juicy with the right flavors Alo gobi if you like cauliflower. It's worth a try for the interesting flavors. It goes well with the saag. Honestly we scoop our food with the naan. Get messy and really enjoy all the flavors. Food is always hot.Ordered mostly through DoorDash. Once in store, service was quick and friendly. The restaurant is small nothing special. Just what you need for a good meal. MOM APPROVED!!! Our toddler loves the butter chicken and garlic naan.

I went behind the counter twice. Once to get my own menu, the other to get to go boxes. Service was very poor to say the least. We ordered samosas, these were delicious and so was the naan. Butter chicken was a bit too sweet but the chicken was tender. We also ordered tandoori lamb and it was dry and not tender at all. Cooked too fast I suppose. Needless to say we will not be back. Their food and more importantly the service is not worthy of the stars they have. We and one solo diner were in the restaurant and that says it all.

This is my go-to spot for Indian food in Costa Mesa! The butter chicken, level 6 is chef's kiss. I'm also in love with their garlic naan. This restaurant is nicely priced and has good portions. I'm pretty much a regular here. See you again soon!

I was craving Indian food and came across this place while searching on Yelp. I came here on a weekday evening and it was pretty empty but I dined in and noticed many customers in and out grabbing to go. I wanted a vegetarian dish so I ordered the Vegetable Nepali Thali and it did not disappoint! I think I had eaten everything down to the last grain of basmati rice. It was soooo delicious and the naan was freshly made when it came out. It's not a fancy restaurant and could be viewed somewhat as a hole in the wall, but that's usually where the best food comes from.

This place is absolutely amazing! I LOVE the chicken Korma, it is always a generous portion so I always end up with leftovers.

Super tasty coconut chicken and Naan Highly recommend the coconut chicken and get medium spice. Just spicy enough. Trying the lamb next time! Seen this spot for so many years. Finally tried it and it's really good. Dimly lit inside but good quality is good.

2.5 stars I think this is unfort Indian food meant for white people. Ordered the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. A couple of the naans were more like chips and not fluffy at all. And also came out cold. The chicken tikka masala's sauce was good but the chicken itself was very chunky and not well cooked. The ambiance is alright and the service is great. Waiter was very attentive. Overall I don't think I'll be coming back.

My go to Indian restaurant. It's more of a mom and pop place, but their food is flavorful and reasonably priced.
