Amazing food. Excellent customer service, traditional Indian food made the right way. I definitely recommend this place. The owner is an amazing person and works very hard to keep this place running smoothly serving incredible food. I will be back!!

Classy good Taro bubble tea kept me visiting them 3 times in a day.. Chanced upon their Saag paneer and just could not stop eating. Tried the chicken tikka masala and I was done for the day.. Good wholesome food, carried forward by an experienced food centric family. UCSB’s favorite hangout for a good hearty meal..

Great food with a friendly owner. The restaurant was clean and they had seating outside in the sun. I had the spinach paneer and the most delicious eggplant

Absolutely love the guy who works here!!! I would argue that this is the best spot in IV. The first time that I went, I had a great convo with the boss (I’m guessing he is?) and he kept giving me and my friends samples and big portions of food. Came back again today to buy some boba for my roommate that graduated. We had a good conversation and have gave us two free bowls as a congratulations!! Support this business as much as possible! The thai tea boba is amazing and his food is the first authentic Indian food I’ve ever had! 🙂 Thank you! <3

ignore the haters. this is as good as it gets in IV. the food is affordable and they give great portions! i highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer. the thai tea is also very delicious, goes well with the meals. dine in is not the best here as it’s a small space, so you’re better off doing take out.

Really friendly great staff and delicious food! Not typically a fan of saag paneer but this one is delicious (so are the rest of the curries)!

Only Go when the older gentleman is working the front. This old lady just gave me 3 small bits of chicken for $10. I’ve had 10 times better service with the older gentleman, please don’t let that lady serve anymore.

I ordered the chicken tikka masala rice bowl. It wasn’t creamy or sweet enough, but it was a good deal for the price. They also sell boba tea here, although I didn’t try it. The naan was too oily. Unfortunately, this is the only Indian restaurant nearby.
