Great food and hidden gem in the Coast. Always on point and it's my go-to place for late night food since they are open till 10:30pm most nights. Usually get some naan and some chicken or vegetarian dish. Fairly priced, good portions and delicious. If you haven't been, what are you waiting for? Take yourself (and some friends/family) for some food therapy!
Good food and great ambiance in a very cozy setting. We are vegetarian so it's not always a good experience because there's limited options. But we really liked the food here and freshly made bread. Great service and tasty food, highly recommend.
After a nice hike on a beautiful day at whale Beach Cove, I wanted to take my friend to have some good Indian food. So of course I looked this place up on yelp and decided to try it out. Right off the start as we walked, we were greeted by a very friendly host. A gentleman approached us and suggested a very tasty Indian beer! Definitely delicious for both of us, and light on the alcohol content, lol. We ordered veggie pakora , veggie biryani, goat cheese naan, and chicken tikka masala. All delicious, and all of it within enough leftovers for us to take home. Definitely a nice location and we got to see the sunset over the marina while we ate. I'd recommend this spot for tasty food and beautiful views.
Great indian food in El Granada. I am so thankful to have them on the coast! My favorite is the palak paneer and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. Delish!!
Food was so yummy and service was amazing. Best Indian restaurant with an amazing view. Thank you and will surely be back.
Wow This place is near me and I finally decided to dine here tonight. I must say everything is tasty, flavorful , and yummy. I was surprised to see the business is not as crowded as the restaurant offers such delicious Indian cuisine. I like the decor and the restaurant is spacious and clean. Everyone looked happy with your plates of food, like us. The server was pleasant and what I liked most was to get the table by the window with the ocean view. Definitely will return and highly recommended this place to my fellow Yelpers!
I give India Beach 4 stars overall for its extensive variety of vegetarian, chicken, lamb, and seafood entrees, ambiance, and service. The entrees were like a really solid cast while, surprisingly, the staples (rice and bread) were the weak supporting actors and were a far cry from what I've experienced at most Indian restaurants. The winning dishes included... Cheese pakora appetizer: Though lacking in presentation, this fried cheese in a crispy, non-greasy chickpea batter with tasty side sauces was excellent. Tandoori chicken: Tender and tasty Butter chicken Fish tikka masala Navratan korma: Though different from most other dishes by this name, it was nicely seasoned in a creamy sauce with vegetables and chopped nuts. The staples that were not up to par were... Basmati rice: This was surprisingly dry and seemed slighly undercooked, but was ok when covered in sauces from our entrees. Assorted nan: This included plain, onion, and garlic nan. All three were quite dry and needed to be dipped in sauces to be edible. These were nothing like the moist chewy nan that most Indian restaurants serve.
