"Such a delicious find! This is the second Indian/Pakistani restaurant in this space but these new owners are very attentive to the level of heat in their offerings, so it’s a wonderful change! The interior is bright, inviting, and sparkling clean. The service is prompt and friendly. And that brings us to the food: wow! Husband and I don’t tolerate spicy heat, so we ordered mild butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. Both were fabulous to the point where we were scraping the last of the sauce out of the serving dishes with the garlic naan. The mild aloo ghobi was also quite a treat some new and interesting flavors subtly influencing the traditional flavor profile. The onion pakoras were flavorful and not at all greasy; the samosas were perfect and the papadum were baked, not fried, and that was very nice. Oh the mango lassis are individually made, not just pre mixed stuff poured out of a jug. We will be going back often hope to see you there!"

Not an expert in Indian food, but I've eaten here several times and am always pleased with the meal quality. Give these guys a shot!

What a lovely restaurant! The food was excellent and very fresh. The owner was a genuinely nice person. I drove all the way from Chino Hills, and it was definitely worth the trip!
User
Excellent experience! I was truly impressed. I ordered the chicken korma, naan, and gulab jamun. The korma was incredibly flavorful and tasted fresh. I loved the spices they used; it was perfectly balanced! The naan had a wonderful texture and complemented the curry beautifully. Highly recommend! View menu

The food I had in this restaurant today surprised me. I had quite low expectations and I was blown away! We had the butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, basamati rice, garlic naan, samosas and spicy tea. Everything was very good! Just what I want when I have Indian food. The chicken was also tender and not overdue. This is very difficult to get past the order of Indian food, so I was pleasantly surprised. I live in LA and visited Costa Mesa today. I will definitely be back when I'm ever back in the area.

We ordered the Naan, and it was filled with a gritty clay powder. It felt more like I was eating something completely different rather than Naan. When we brought this to the attention of management, they dismissed our concern and insisted that it was supposed to taste that way. Additionally, they nickel-and-dimed us for every little thing. The word "fresh" does not belong in this restaurant's name, as the food isn’t consistently fresh. They advertise themselves as serving Indian cuisine, but in reality, it’s predominantly a Pakistani restaurant. Please don’t waste your hard-earned money at this establishment. It deserves zero stars, but unfortunately, I don’t have that option.
