Charminar Indian Catering - San Diego

Amazing Biriyani?s. We were a group of 7, visited this place on a weekend after there grand opening (after remodeling), they did an exceptional work with the interiors, and had a kind of Hyderabadi vibe to it. When it comes to food, we mostly had Biriyanis, we ordered a family feast with Goat, and chicken biriyani, and both of it is top notch authentic, we loved it. We also ordered Naan, chicken tikka masala, chicken and baby corn 65(few of it came with family feast),and we loved everything. Service was good too. Also, owners dropped by to greet us, and to check how the restaurant and food was. Which is always a good sign that they are pushing to keep up the standards. Writing my review after fewvisits to this place, and never had any negative experience, so 5 star from me.

Tasty Indian food! I got their lunch combo with paneer butter masala, chicken tikka masala, and a mango lassi and it was really worth the price. Seriously, it's plenty of food and also so good because you can have rice and naan. I love paneer masala and will almost always enjoy it if it's cooked well. I think it was a little sweet and chewy in my opinion, and I really enjoyed the kick of the tikka masala curry. I'd recommend you only get one masala in the two entree lunch combo because then you can enjoy two differentiable flavor profiles, because although I really enjoyed both of the entrees I did feel they were similar and it started to taste redundant. Also, one naan that we got was more burnt compared to the other fresher one. I'll definitely be coming back and trying more things off the menu!!

I always order Indian food from this restaurant. For vegetarians- The Saag Paneer, Daal Tadka, Paneer Makhani and Aloo Gobi are all excellent. In non veg I usually eat the Chicken Chettinad which is spicy. But the chicken Biryani is to die for. Hands down the best Indian food in San Diego.

Horrible. Curry is watered down. Service is slow. Table is sticky. Indoor Ventilation is bad. Food is salty. No curry taste. Portions big, but the food does not taste good at all. Price may be reasonable, but the quality is not up to standard. Because it was so salty that I actually finished a whole bottle of coke in one meal.

We popped in because of hunger and it was in our way , we did nor expected they serve in take out boxes, you can seat there and eat. We ordered vegetarian street noodles indo Chinese planner butter masala, chilli garlic naan and mango lassi. I forgot ask to make my food spicy integrate that truly.The curry was not spicy it was sweet actually too sweet for us. It was with artificial food color, I don't like additional food colors in Indian food. The noodles were not at all like Indo Chinese, no spices at all just veggies and noodles. I expected it with regular sauces such as chilli sauce, soy sauce like I get in Indian street. The only thing I like the most is chilli garlic naan. I am glad I ordered that, it was balancing the curry with additional chillies on naan. You will get complementary rice with any curries. Staff was attentive.
