Sundara

Wow, but really wow! This place has the best Indian food in San Diego! Spicy levels were on point and all the dishes just packed with flavor. Tandoori chicken A+, moist and nicely roasted. Tikka masala and vindaloo ~ deeeeelicious! We also got the garlic, cheese naan and crispy roti. But wait, there’s more! You must concluded this feast with their masala sugar dusted samosas filled dark chocolate and toffee bits. Need I say more?? Go check it out!

Just moved here and am so happy I found this restaurant. Some of the best Indian food I have eaten. The tandoori chicken and Chana masala had the perfect amount of flavor and spices. Had to force myself to stop eating and save some for later. The mint chutney and yogurt sauce are out of this world. Love it. Will be visiting Sundara a lot in the future.

Such a cozy friendly place. The food was amazing. We will definitely go back and have already recommended it to friends. The service was excellent and the food presentation lovely. Prices are medium. They include a service charge rather than tipping which means (hopefully) they pay their staff a decent wage. Interesting choice of music though. As much as we like classic rock it seemed an odd selection for an intimate dining experience.

hands down, best samosas in town.. felt like my mom had made them, it was so perfectly flaky, and light with a great amount of filling. We also tried the tandoori chicken, which was well prepared, fall of the bones soft and tender. Surprising item on menu is the chicken chicharrones, its a must try item with the tamarind chutney. Eggplant Raita was delicious as well. Food is prepared at the site daily, and made with a lot of love. Nothing is too spicy, everything was flavorful!! 10/10 will recommend and go again

3.5 stars for the food. The Tikka masala and vindaloo sauces were both sour and not at all spicy- contrary to how they're supposed to taste. The dal makhani was excellent though and so were the naans. 5 stars for the chai- very well spiced- probably some of the best I've had at a restaurant. They gave us a free refill too. 4 stars for the service. The restaurant seems severely understaffed. There was only one server when we were there and she held the fort really well but service was still quite slow.

Called a few friends in southern California about where is the best place to eat Indian food, they directed us to this little gem at friendly corner if San Diego. Dinner started with two very delicious samosa's with very savory tamarind chutney as well as the fresh mint chutney. The crust of this samosa is what really caught my eye. It wasn't greasy or oily, it was very light and airy just appropriately seasoned. The potato filling was not overpowered by spice to let you enjoy the accompanied chutney. These were really fresh, you can usually tell an old samosa by the way the filling tastes. We ordered 2 dishes, channa masala (garbanzo beans in curry sauce) as well as chicken tikka masala. Along with that we ordered 2 naans and the meals came with what tasted like fine grain basamati. Let me start with the naan bread. We ordered plain naans and could easily tell that this was very delicious dough which was appropriately proved for at least overnight. Given the shape and texture, a tandoor must have been used. Not chewy at all and required little effort to tear apart. Ranks amongst some of the best for the naan bread I've eaten at a restaurant. The channa masala was delightful as well. Not overpowered by tomatoes with a masala which can hide the taste of the beans. Again, another tasty dish. I ordered it medium spiced which was perfect. Lips were not burning but just enough to make the food go "kaboom!" Chicken was excellent as well. Wasn't chewy or rubbery. This chicken was so juicy and tender it was like it came out of a sous vide. Someone here has perfected making this dish. I can't say anymore than if your kids normally eat chicken strips and fries they will be instantly converted to Indian chicken. Didn't stop for desert, I thought the portions were generous and had no more room. I wanted to meet the chef and the very lovely hostess introduced us to Adam. Wanted to thank him for making my taste buds happy! Being of Indian ancestry we are very critical of Indian food. This tasted like home cooking for sure. We didn't have a chance to try the rest of the items on the menu, will definitely come back here the next time we visit San Diego. This was an unsolicited review, I am not a professional food critic. As a traveler I rely on objective reviews to make decisions where to eat. This one gets 5 stars for sure.
