“ If you're in the mood for Indian food, this is your place. One thing that immediately stands out is the interior; it is beautiful! Their Shahi paneer and butter chicken dishes were outstanding. The Shahi is a must. Fantastic service without being overbearing. I'll be coming back here every time I'm in Anaheim. ”
“ Took a chance on this Indian restaurant and I'm so glad we did! Every dish was packed with bold, well-balanced flavors that had us scraping our plates clean! Heads up, the restaurant is tucked away in the corner of the plaza if anyone is trying to find it. On to the food review! We ordered the butter chicken, lamb curry, aloo gobi, and chicken malai. The butter chicken was rich and creamy and absolutely flavorful. The lamb curry was incredibly tender, soaking up all those warming spices in the sauce. The aloo gobi had just the right amount of spice, with perfectly cooked vegetables. And the chicken malai? Insanely juicy with a subtle smokiness from the tandoor that made it impossible to put down. Everything came out hot and flavorful, and the portions were solid. Safe to say, this place exceeded expectations. This is definitely my favorite Indian restaurant in OC now! ”

“ Authentic Punjabi flavors, right here in OC! Here you'll experience the best of both Charda Punjab (Indian) and Lenda Punjab (Pakistani) cuisine--fresh, bold, and made with love. PS. The chai takes me back to India--so good I had to have two! NEW menu items: Dahi de Kebab Veg Pakora Pani Puri Masala Fries House-made Chicken Tenders (kid & adult-friendly!) Baingan da Bhartha (eggplant curry) Fish Curry Rabri Faluda Kulfi Most of the spices are ground in-house for that real, rich taste. Find it next to Great Wolf Lodge and just down the street from Disneyland. ”
“ Stumbled across this very authentic Indian/Pakistani restaurant, known as Urban Punjab. This area has a handful of different cuisines available and we are so very glad we chose to come in specifically to Urban Punjab for the food. The service was quick and the ambiance was extremely family friendly with Punjabi music videos playing in the background upon a large TV. We ordered the paneer tikka as a starter, which came with a tamarind and chutney sauce. As well as their staple chicken tikka masala which is just out of this world from a flavor profile standpoint. Along with a chicken biryani, that is equally good as the tikka masala. We're excited to bring more folks back to introduce this wonderful place to others and try more dishes, as it's definitely been a spot that has been missing in our lives. The owners prepare all their dishes with ample love and you can tell that they're truly passionate about cooking and serving the best dishes for all their customers, whilst also focusing on good service and great ambience. Would highly recommend this place to anyone that is craving some top notch Indian/Pakistani cuisine, any day of the week! ”
“ We came here for new years dinner! Was empty and quiet but the waiters were attentive. The samosa was delicious! I prefer this over a regular samosa dish (which can be quite dry). The sauce here was tangy with chickpeas. Worth it and will get again! Chicken tikka- nothing special. I'm new to Indian food but I thought this would have more spice flavors. It was more creamy than anything. Ordered spicy but it wasn't spicy at all :( Bhartha- really liked this eggplant tomato dish. It was fresh and there was some spice to it. Palak paneer- first time trying and did not disappoint! A little oily for me, but the cheese and spinach was a great combo. ”
“ So delicious!! The price is a little high but the quality is high so it's understandable! The restaurant is also very clean and nicely decorated, and it has beautiful tableware. I came here at 7pm on a Sunday night and it was pretty empty with just a few families. We were seated immediately. For the 3 of us we ordered vegetable biryani, chicken tikka masala, and garlic naan. It was more than enough food! We ended up taking some leftovers home. The vegetable biryani was super flavorful and paired really nicely with the side of yogurt which balanced it out. The roasted cauliflower pieces were flavor bombs!! So good and also added a nice crispy texture! The chicken tikka masala was very creamy. The ratio of chicken to sauce was good. I didn't feel like we were lacking chicken (as I feel in some other Indian restaurants sometimes when there's a ton of sauce and like 3 pieces of chicken). It was really tasty too! It went really well with the garlic naan which came out fresh. It was cut in half so there were 2 big pieces, and it was a good amount for the 3 of us. If we were a little hungrier we probably would've gotten another order of naan, which would probably be a perfect ratio of naan to chicken tikka masala (2:1). My family also got 2 beers, and it was nice they brought out pre-chilled glasses to pour the beer into. They also brought a small bowl of roasted salted peanuts! It was a really nice touch. A great spot for Indian food! Definitely recommend. ”
