Stopped by on the weekend for lunch. On the weekdays there appears to be a good lunch special, however on the weekend there isnt one and you order off the regular menu.After ordering, we were given paper plates+ plastic utensils and sat at any given table. Even when asking for water I had to buy a water bottle. Set up seemed unusual (some seats were literally in the doorway) and when the food arrived it all came in plastic take out containers. I guess most come here for takeout?Food was okay for the price (couldnt finish it all so nice we had take out containers?), but since we were looking for a dine in place would recommend only coming here if you want take out.

Great food and very attentive service.I would give 5 stars overall, but really hate the plastic containers for dine in. I request the owners to please stop using so much of disposables and use good dinnerware.I forgot to take pictures, but by the time we finished we had a pile of plastics and no place to recycle.The food is absolutely delicious and I still recommend take outs so that the boxes can be reused/recycled at home.I really appreciate them providing me with custom vegan options which were not on the menu.

Really liked their mixed grill. Paneer was really well done on the grill. Overall all good taste were OK. I wound rate the the grill as 5*.

This place is the only Indian restaurant in Poway. It has everything and affordable. A variety of selection for vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Plenty of parking, indoor dining and tables outside.I got vegetable korma, tikka masala samosa, vegetable samosa, garlic naan and roti.Both samosas are fried and comes with mint and tamarind chutney. The vegetable one is stuffed with potatoes and come in 2 large pieces. The tikka masala samosa is layered in sauce and stuffed with vegetables and potatoes. It comes in about 6 small pieces.I got garlic naan and roti. Both are breads. Roti is unleavened and naan is leavened which means that it uses a raising agent where as roti is not so it’s flat. Both came out flat and tastes the same. The naan wasn’t puffy anymore and came out flat.Vegetable korma came with rice. It’s creamy and you could taste the nutty flavors. Had a bunch of vegetables, potatoes, cauliflower, carrots, and snap peas.

I decided to try the Tikka Lounge on their $7.99 special. I did not expect much for the price, but the food was outstanding. In todays world of inflation, I feel like I got great value for my money. I plan to make this a once or twice a month option.

I ordered the family meal deal online through chow now. When I went to pick up my food I was advised that the tandoori chicken kabob I ordered is not apart of the deal. So I didn’t understand why it’s an option on the choices online then. I was told I had to “pick a curry”. My fiancé doesn’t eat curry. I asked if there was something similar to the tandoori chicken that I could choose instead that is apart of the deal and was told no. I was only allowed to pick from curries. I then offered to pay the difference so I could get what I actually ordered. I was charged $7 more so I could get the tandoori chicken. On top of the $27 I had already paid for the “family meal deal”. I will not be back.

Had the lunch special with butter chicken which was great!But initially trekked out here for the lunch buffet they list on their site. Unfortunately they dont seem to actually have a lunch buffet so docked stars for false advertising and disappointing a very pregnant lady craving a good variety of indian food.

This is not India food, weird flavors and shredded paneer that looked more like mozzarella.
