The best Indian restaurant in San Diego. Always super flavorful, rich sauces, not watered down like a lot of other places. They have an interesting fusion menu that really highlights the owner's creativity with his cuisine. I've been eating here for years and always leave full and happy. The tikka masala pizza on fresh naan is a favorite.Please bring back your buffet!

There have been many firsts in my trip to San Diego, and dining at an Indian restaurant was among that list. Urban India Restaurant did not disappoint. Nice little spot right in the heart of Gas lamp Quarter. I had the Masala Fries with chicken added as an appetizer. Glad I had company, as the portions were quite large. For the main course, I had the Tikka Masala with shrimp served with mild spice. I was very pleased with the taste of the food, the service, and the pricing of the menu items. The whole experience was gratifying and I would definitely return for a visit and try another dish on the menu.

I can’t comment on the quality of food as we did not eat there, but if there ever was an award for the rudest customer service then this restaurant would be very well deserving of that. I wish I could not give it a single star. My husband and I visited this place sometime back. It was a Sunday night. The restaurant had two or three vacant tables. We stood there for a while and no one acknowledged. Finally, a man who seemed to be the owner saw us and came over—all the while he was shaking his head as though we had done something wrong by even entering the restaurant. My husband and I looked at each other wondering what was wrong. We asked for a table for two. Despite having empty tables inside the restaurant, the man rudely pointed at the empty and dusty patio outside. He simply pointed towards that and left. The patio was cold, dirty and there was no heating. We stood around for a while in shock while he attended other tables. After he was done, we tried to go up and talk to him but he saw us and turned his face away. The message was loud and clear. He simply did not want us there. We were so shocked we walked out immediately. He saw us walk out and did not even bother to ask why. In all the times that I have eaten out, never have I experienced such pathetic and rude service. My message to the owner, if you don’t like talking to people and being respectful then you are in the wrong industry. If you don’t respect customers, they won’t respect you—there are many better options out there where people do really like their jobs. We ate pizza next door instead at [email protected], very friendly service and great pizza!

I order a spicy food that was extremely spicy Lamb Curry in there was only 4 small pieces of meat I mean really small pieces anyways.Waitress young latino guy professional. But the other guy ball guy Bad attitude Bad customer service really bad the food was not good I’m giving one a star because I will not recommend anyone to go there.I eat Indian food twice a week I love it but this place was eww

Ordered Spicy Biryani & Spicy Butter Chicken but got no spicy at all. Store hours was supposed to open at 4:30pm but they weren’t open till 5:10pm so we waited. I am giving 4 stars because our server the guy was very nice & helpful. Food was good & price is okay too.

Delicious Indian food with special mention to their dal makhni and naans. It is located in the Gas Lamp district and was thankfully open on Christmas Day. We also landed up ordering food to our hotel from this restaurant!

The restaurant was empty when we walked in but even after we waited no one was there to seat us down. We decided to seat ourselves and had to ask the waiter to wait on our table. He seemed like he did not want to be there. He took the orders with disgust and was a little rude. The food was good and quality pretty decent but we felt it was an inconvenience to request for anything through the waiter.

Good was great quality. Extremely filling. I’ve eaten at many Indian restaurant in my life and this place is in the top 5 for sure. I like the unique indo-mix dishes they have to offer.

I've ordered from her through Uber eats 3x and everything I've ever gotten has been delicious. I don't like the way all Indian restaurants make their food but this place and Himilyaian on El cajon Blvd are the best I've ever had. The coconut curry chicken, samosas and the deep fried cauliflower are what I've had from here. I got it the coconut curry chicken spicy and it was perfect for me. I wouldn't do the extra spicy

had the VERY HOT Chicken curry lunch special.
