My wife and I had an amazing lunch at Charminar Express! We’ve loved the original San Diego location for years, so when we saw they opened in Temecula, we couldn’t wait to check it out — and it did not disappoint. We both ordered the 2-item lunch combo. I went with Butter Chicken and Chicken Tikka Masala with garlic butter naan, and my wife had Chicken Vindaloo and Butter Chicken with garlic naan. Everything was bursting with flavor — rich, creamy, and perfectly spiced. Our server, Harsh, was wonderful — super kind, attentive, and even told us about their Wednesday night all-you-can-eat buffet (which we’re definitely coming back for). Everything about this place impressed us: the food, the value, the service, and the atmosphere. Charminar Express has officially become our new favorite I

Ordered paneer chili and street style hakka noodles. Saddest food experience of my life. Idk how the reviews are so high - probably for south Indian food, but do not order indo Chinese food!! The noodles had green peas, carrots and potato! I thought I ordered noodles not PULAO😭 the paneer chili was not paneer chili, more like soft paneer dropped in some masala gravy. YALL PLS 😭🙏 I expected better 😬

Had an absolute blast at Chaat Corner with friends! So much fun and laughter, and they were super nice to accommodate all of us. We started with pakoda and yummy kesari, then had pav bhaji, pani puri that totally reminded us of India, and some amazing samosa chaat. Loved the customized chaat options too — and the tea was just perfect!
