“ This Indian/Pakistani restaurant is one of my all-time favorites! It's a bit of a hidden gem, but they do have parking on the back side. Inside, there are plenty of seats, making it a great spot for a family meal. The staff is friendly, but you should definitely know what you like before you go. My top recommendation is the chicken 65! It's absolutely delicious and pairs perfectly with garlic naan. If you're in the mood for something a bit different, try the biryani. It's a hearty and flavorful dish that's sure to satisfy. For a lighter option, they have great chicken tikka masala. And if you're craving something quick and tasty, their tandoori wrap is a must-try. To end your meal on a sweet note, don't miss out on their milk chai. Trust me, you'll love the food here! ”
“ Famous Tandoori has some of the best kabobs in the area. Their kabob rolls are a go to for us, whether just needing a bite or catering for a party. The rest of the menu is also great. It's also nice to see how they've maintained the inside for seating. Hope to continue eating here for years to come! ”
“ Loved this place! Ordered the paneer tikka masala and chicken tikka masala and both were delicious. Great portion sizes and prices. Very impressed. Will definitely be back! ”
“ This was my first time going. One of the workers, Christian was amazing! He helped me by giving me suggestions on the menu and I must say that I was not disappointed. The shrimp fettuccine was excellent, I really love the broccoli in it, and the honey stachio was a very sweet surprise! ”
“ I'm on a hunt for my favorite Indian food since NatRaj (2nd St, LBC) closed. This place is my first try so it's in first place right now, Obviously. Tito likes it too, he's on this Indian restaurant journey with me. And that's all I'm telling you about Tito, for now. ”
“ After urgent care, my hunny and I came here for dinner, and it was amazing. The portions were enough, and then some, I took mine home (cauliflower plate) because I wanted to enjoy it for lunch the next day, which, by the way, it was still great. My hunny really liked his plate, which was the beef Aaloo Gobi. To drink, the mango Lassi could have had more yogurt. The sweet Lassi was ok, my hunny was hoping for a unique flavor, but it didn't. The atmosphere was cool. It was cozy. Overall, I recommend this place. ”
“ This was my first time here and I don't think it will be my last. The food was delicious and the flavors were on point. Let's start with the "special chicken 65". Now when I have had chicken 65 in the past it's usually "dry" this came in a delicious and well spiced sauce and the chicken was super tender and juicy. Next up we had some of the chicken biryani and again, the flavor and spices were on point and the chicken was super tender and juicy. We also had some garlic naan and what I would say is the best tandoori chicken I have had. They prepare it over mesquite and the chicken had that rich wood cooked flavor that sets it apart. The one thing we had that was new and I would definitely go back for was the Halwa Puri. Now I have never had this before but I have a friend who lives in India who said I needed to try it and this was super good. I would even go back just for this. They only serve it on Sunday, definitely check it out! The staff were super friendly and the restaurant itself was nice in the inside with some tables to enjoy your meal. ”
“ I hate to admit, but I haven't eaten much Indian cuisine yet and boy do I regret it. Famous Tandoori gave me a fabulous reminder as to what flavors I have been missing. It's located along Pacific Coast Highway and can be easily missed driving by. They have a parking lot behind if you are worried about parking. You can tell it's family owned once you stepped inside with its homey vibe, and they even offer a free cup of chai with every visit. The servers are very nice and were able to offer some great recommendations. Garlic Naan: Fresh, warm, and buttery. I could have ordered at least 5 of these and just ate this. Chicken Tikka Masala: Great recommendation and entry to Indian food, you can ask to adjust the spice level. It was full of flavor and goes great with rice or Naan. Lamb Biryani: Fragrant rice and lamb, I especially loved the huge chunks of meat and potatoes. ”
“ Don't miss out on this hole in the wall tasty Pakistani and Indian Halal cuisine. Despite having three signs displayed in front of their building, it's really easy to miss because it's located on PCH, unless you happen to stop because of the nearby traffic lights. I'm always looking for mom and pop businesses to support and happened to be in the area and saw this spot. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. They even have lunch specials that are available from Tues-Thurs and other daily specials that you don't want to miss. They have plenty of indoor space and even have a gorgeous outdoor patio seating. Unfortunately, it was quite hot that day so I opted to sit indoors. || L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G || -Closest cross streets are PCH and Appian Way -Parking is available in the rear. You want to turn into the entrance as soon as you pass by the nail and hair salon. We passed by it thinking that we could just park in the next available entrance but that was not parking for that plaza. -Came on a Friday at noon and the lot was probably 70% full. || F O O D / D R I N K S || Mango Lassi ($4.00) - So smooth and delicious. Not too sweet! Potato Samosa ($4.00/4pcs) - So crispy and pairs super well with their green sauce! They also offer beef samosas but I wanted to try something without meat since my main dishes were heavy on meat. Chicken Tikka Masala ($13.99) - A classic Indian dish that I always order. What I liked about theirs was that it was so creamy and flavorful. We opted for a mild spice level and it was perfect. If you want to go for a spicier kick, medium would be a spice option to go with. Like many Indian restaurants, it doesn't come with rice or naan and will have to be ordered separately. Garlic Naan ($2.99) - Garlic Naan is always a must for me. Theirs was freshly made and the most fluffy naan that I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and make sure to order extra because one order is not going to be enough for two people. I made sure to order one naan for each person in my party. Special Chicken 65 ($15.99) - Decided to try something new and saw that many fellow Yelpers posted about this. It's chicken mixed with tangy and garlic sauce. The tanginess isn't too strong which was perfect for me. It pairs extremely well with rice or naan. Definitely recommend it if you're looking to try something new. Lamb Pulao (FRIDAY SPECIAL $14.99) - Our server recommended this daily special dish and since we were a fan of lamb, we decided to go for it. The portion is extremely generous. You can order one for yourself or share with at least one or two other people. Since it comes with a large portion of rice, I ended up saving some of that rice to go with my chicken tikka masala. Usually with lamb, there is a certain smell/odor that I don't like if it's not cooked properly but I was so pleasantly surprised that I could barely distinguish that odor. The meat was so tender that it came off the bone pretty easily. ”
