Looking for a good Indian restaurant in San Diego, we stumbled across this gem that just opened a few months ago. The food reminded me of Home, this is a huge compliment. The cardamom chai with the biscuit was artfully prepared and was exquisite in taste. The Pani puri shots were also incredibly delicious, just amazing in flavor. We also tried the vada pav was so good that we ordered in extra after finishing one. In addition to all of this, we had the chicken masala burger – honestly and truly the most flavorful chicken burger I’ve ever had. Very very well done. If I wasn’t full from the vada pav I would’ve had another. We finished our meal with the Alfonso mango lassi that hits just right in terms of flavor and sweetness and the pistachio kulfi that was icing on the cake. If you’re looking for a place to eat with amazing food, ambience, seating, and free parking – look no further. I’m definitely coming back. Also – the meat is halal! How great is that for my fellow Muslim folk! This place wins in every aspect.

Best indian food in the area. Owner was super friendly. Had a great conversation with him. Excellent service. Good quality of food. Must try. It’s an amazing concept of fusion with a twist. I would definitely like to go again. After a full day of exploring the San Diego zoo this place was just what we needed. Good comfort food with awesome and delicious food. They have great cocktails options. Must try panipuri. Ambience of the place was fantastic.

I’m visiting from Houston where we have amazing food and plenty of Indian food but I’ve never experienced a cuisine like this at a dine in spot. Pub style food that requires no utensils. The flavors were mind blowing. I was fortunate enough to speak to the chef and learn about the detail he puts into the food. Almost everything is prepared daily by the kitchen. As simple as the cocktail peanuts and seasoning on the chips, all made in house. I enjoyed the tandoori lamb chops and paneer kati roll and was blown away by the whiskey cake. Don’t miss this opportunity to enjoy high quality food at unbelievable pricing!

The ambience is nice with Indian songs playing in background, food was up to expectations but couldve been better in some ways of spice or condiments use! But I would say good job done overall! The pav bhaji was kinda okay, couldve been better! Paneer Tikka was epic nice but less in quantity! The chakna was the key highlight to beer in the gastropub! After a long time, spicy groundnuts! Overall had a fun night with friends there

This is exactly what I wanted to eat! Pav baji was amazing, the mango lassi was nice and fluffy, and finally the burger wasn’t too big or small, just perfect and so yummy! This is being written by an 8yr old and her 6 yr old sister because their dad is too busy finishing the tasty kesar kulfi!! ✅

Everything we ordered was amazing! I couldn’t even get good photos of the food because, as soon as that plate hit the table, fingers were grabbing evening up!

We are visiting from San Antonio, TX. There is a Texas-based restaurant called Whiskey Cake that has a their namesake dessert of a whiskey cake. Daru’s whiskey cake is hands-down way better than Whiskey Cake’s whiskey cake. It has loads more flavor and not overly sweet. It’s sweet enough that you know it’s a dessert but the spices and flavor are its predominant feature. By far the BEST whiskey cake I’ve ever had and by far the best Indian food I’ve had. This restaurant far exceeded expectations and we will be talking about this place long after we return home.
