Celebrating a Milestone for a family member, one of my favorite types cuisine....I would go back again !!!

Happy baby n happy us.Loved the food.The biriyani ws so good n the butter chicken too.

Undeniably the worst Indian food I have ever had. Actually some of the blandest food I’ve ever had. I had the chicken Tika massala lunch portion. I’ll never go back. Tasted like nothing. No salt, no spice just plain tasting meat.

Fantastic food with a ton of great menu items. Great, friendly staff. I wish I could give more stars, but the restaurant was horribly dirty. The floors are sticky and the bathroom was atrocious. If the public areas are this dirty, it leaves one to wonder what the kitchen looks like. Would love to return after a serious DEEP clean.

What an incredible jewel hidden away in an unlikely place. I stumbled on this place, but given the experience, I cannot help but wonder if I was guided there.You walk in and the first thing you experience are the wonderful smells of spices. The front room is nothing special, and seems more like a place just for pick up, which it basically is. We were invited into the next room and it was like being transported to a spiritual paradise. There were beautiful pieces of artwork, sculptures, sayings on the wall. There was regular table dining or you can eat family style and sit on the raised floors.The food is divine! There were too many options to choose from. Traditional Indian as well as Nepalese dishes. Many versions of Naan (I had the best Naan of my life here in the restaurant... Badami Naan cherry and fennel seeds, cashew and almond).The wait staff are incredibly friendly and welcome.By far my best experience in a restaurant in years!Do not miss the opportunity here!!!

I love Indian food, and this food was overall pretty good. I will say, the flavor was good, but different from what I expected.We ordered the vegetable samosa, lintel soup, butter chicken and chicken tikka masala and of course cilantro garlic naan.The Samosa was great, love the sauces that come with it. The lintel soup was delicious! The flavors of the butter chicken and Tikka masala. They were more sweet than Spicy, but still overall great flavor.

Awesome place 7 years ago it was the only place that I could get super spicy food that would make me sweat while eating it and send me on a spirit journey. one of my first stops upon arriving back in San Diego after 7 years with out it food was still delicious my only complaint was the heat level was lower than expected I asked for a 9 hot but got maybe a 6.5. Back in the day an 8 would be melting my face off and have me drinking all the water on the table maybe I just need to ask for spice level 12.

Delicious food. Discovered it the last day of our vacation, otherwise we would have returned several times. Fresh food, moist chicken perfectly spiced. Very impressive meal.

Honestly, the worst Indian food I’ve had in San Diego. Our entrées were super oily, the naan was overcooked and tough, the paneer tasted like they added sugar and had a rubbery texture, the vegetable pakoras tasted like chicken, I’m guessing because their fryer needs to be cleaned, and they were served in a brown paper bag which was very oily and leaky. 0 out of 10 Would not recommend.

Amazing food, restaurant feels homey and warms the soul. Never been to Nepal but I definitely feel like I’m somewhere abroad when I step into this atmosphere. Flavors will certainly hook you in for a return visit.
