Finally found some good Indian food in south oc. Came for the lunch buffet and it was top notch quality at a great price. Highly recommend.
Delicious. The best Indian food I had in California. 10/10. Highly recommend
Delicious fresh food. South County doesn't have many options for Indian food, so this is a great find. Highly recommend! Goat curry is tender and delicious.
