Service is great, very friendly/polite. The resultant is clean and quiet. If you're looking to explore new and exciting food THIS IS THE PLACE. I can't wait to go back and try more/different dishes. The food was so good we didnt even get around to taking pictures. Next time ;) Family style. Perfect for sharing

Picked up the order. Got the non veg Thali. Chicken tikki masala, papadam and Naan bread. Overall it was ok. It was a good amount of food. If you want a sampler, try the Thali.

Food was great but service was lacking. We visited for a late lunch (around 1pm) and sat on the patio--although small (only two tables), it is dog friendly which we appreciated since we brought our dog along for the trip. We ordered the chicken momo, paneer pakora (fried cheese), chili naan, garlic naan, butter chicken, saag paneer, and the fried chicken and mushroom. Everything was very good. The food arrived within minutes of us placing our order, which was nice. The only reason I'm giving four stars rather than five is because we didn't receive our drinks within a timely manner and we would have liked to have been checked in on a little more frequently--it took awhile to get boxes for leftovers and to get the check. Otherwise, very good food and would recommend!

A mountain gem!! Who would think there's actually legit decent Indian food here? They also serve some Indo-Chinese dishes like Gobi Manchurian. Prices are reasonable considering the location is in the Village. The place is busy, we were lucky to beat the dinner rush on Saturday. Our food of 3 entrees + naan + raita came out very quickly. Our waiter was super efficient, he basically ran the show. The butter chicken was actually one of the best I've had. Bottom line: this will be our new go-to food spot in Big Bear

Feels random to find such fire Indian food in Big Bear, but it was honestly so good. (I lived in the Bay so I have had my fair share of Indian food in my heyday) Tbh would have left a 4 because of how embarrassingly underprepared their servers/staff were for a Saturday dinner crowd in January, but they were real nice dudes and both the food (5) and the price (5 - very good value) forced my hand. Got 3 dishes and 4 naans across 4 dudes and it was way too much food. We were famished from boarding, but this meal left all of us full and out of breath with a decent amount of leftovers. Butter chicken (fav dish there), chicken tikka masala, and aloo gobi (cauliflowers and potatoes) were all on point. The chicken was tender and very well cooked. The cauliflower in the aloo gobi was such a nice (needed) mix up to just carbs and sauce. Seasoned very well.

Some friends and I were in Big Bear for the weekend and decided to try this place out. It's located in The Village, which is normally a very crowded, tourist area, but we found a parking spot right in front of the restaurant around 7 pm on a Friday night. There were only a few occupied tables so our party of 4 was seated right away. To share, we ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala ($13.95), Butter Chicken ($13.95), Chicken Malai Kabab ($16.95), Garlic Naan ($3.45), and two orders of rice ($2.95/ea). The tikka masala and butter chicken were amazing. Both dishes were extremely flavorful and the chicken was super tender. The kabab was good but we ended up dumping it into the tikka masala sauce and butter sauce because they were that good. The garlic naan was also really good. I thought it was a bit weird that the tikka masala and butter chicken didn't come with rice but that's not a huge issue. Would definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes quality Indian food!
