The food was tasty and what you would expect of an Indian spot! Was happy with everything we ordered but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend a friend to visit here. The vibe was a little odd inside, I’d consider this more of a takeout spot than dine-in.

If you wanna try good north indian food in santa barbara, do check out this place. The appetizers are really good. We tried punjabi fish fry, chicken pakoda, curry fries and indian latke. Be careful when you tell the spicy level. They have 2 levels ️ and very ️ ️. We ordered ️, which was really spicy, can’t imagine how ️ ️ tastes.

Everything that I have tried has been very tasty. And they do mean spicy when they say spicy, which I appreciate! Customer service can be slow when they get busy, but is fine otherwise.

Insane! I have been to this place many times over the past year and ordered an array of plates. I can confidently say everything I’ve ever gotten has been out of this world! So fresh, so tasty, and so spicy. Coming from nyc, I did not expect to find a decent Indian restaurant here—but holy hell! This is the BEST Indian food I’ve ever had. Love this place so much and tons of vegan and veg options.

Highly recommend. Excellent food, probably the best Indian we have had. The staff is very friendly, and we had several different people, including presumably the owner, ask about our experience/food quality. We went there twice in a short time and would return often if we lived there.

Butter chicken is so good. The samosas were crunchy outside and soft inside. The curry fries are perfect too. I tried their mango yogurt beverage which was also great. Everything is great. They offer different spice levels. Highly recommend!!!!

Hands down best Indian food in Santa Barbara. Haven’t tried any spots in Goleta, so can’t compare to that. Very flavorful. I can’t speak to the spice levels because the food is usually very mild and my partner can’t eat spicy food. So just for the flavor and the experience, love it.
