Must try place!! The ambience, the service, the food all gets 5 stars! We were so hungry after skydiving at Monterey, we found this place and we hogged up the food so fast. Heavenly, indulging, awesomeness!

Best indian food I’ve had! My husband and I came here for our wedding anniversary to celebrate and have dinner the service was great, they took really good care of us and sat us indoor by the fireplace and even brought a flower to our table. Their Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Curry is highly recommended, such good flavor. At the end of dinner the server was so sweet and gave us some Indian sweets to celebrate. Highly recommend this restaurant, cozy and romantic for date night.

Lunch buffet 22.99 a little pricey but everything was hot and fresh and delicious. The butter chicken, lentils naan and condiments were fresh and tasty. Will def be back.

We used them for catering our wedding in coordination with Mr. Bhupender, who is the owner of the place. He went above and beyond to deliver with lot of personal touch. He also gave us specific dishes which were our favorite as bride and groom present. Overall, presentation, food, quality and service was too notch. I will highly recommend.

I stopped in to have dinner before I left California. Indian food is my favorite. They did not disappoint! I had my favorite Tikka Masala, with coconut rice and garlic Naan. It is a small little quaint place with a fireplace to warm you up on cold days.

I recently dined at Aabha that left a lasting impression on me. The food was both good and unique, showcasing a wonderful blend of flavors. The service was exceptional, with super friendly and helpful staff. The portion sizes were satisfying and provided great value. The restaurant offered a wide variety of dishes, and their chai was incredibly delicious and some of the best I’ve ever tasted. The comfortable and inviting atmosphere added to the overall experience. In summary, this Indian restaurant delivers an exceptional dining experience with its delicious and unique food, friendly service, good-sized portions, and inviting ambiance

We went in on a Sunday night around 30 mins before closing . Either you don’t accept the customers or you don’t force them to rush the dinner. It’s annoying how the staff literally rushed us to order without a minute’s time.

Food was delicious though on a bit pricey side. The lady serving us was very nice. We ordered Samosa, Tandoori momo, butter cilantro naan, lamb rogan josh, chicken biryani, Mango lassi. Everything was just perfect to our taste!

Wayyyy too Americanized and unnecessarily expensive. I usually don’t write reviews, but this one warranted a review to warn others. If you’re looking for a Indian restaurant, don’t look here. The saag paneer tasted like broccoli and cheese (aka lack of spices/flavor), the biryani was off in both taste and texture (lacked flavor and felt more like pulao), the naan didn’t taste fresh, and the sauce on my gobi tasted like straight up ketchup. Very disappointing experience after a day of traveling
