The ambiance at Indian Tandoori Kingdom was really good and the place has a nice vibe. However, the service took quite a long time, and the overall experience was not as expected based on the Google reviews. The food was decent. We ordered two different curries and specifically asked if each curry comes with rice — they said yes. But when the food arrived, they served only one portion of rice, which was disappointing. The rotis were good and well made. We also ordered Dal Makhni, but it was a bit watery. It would have been better if it was thicker and richer in consistency. Overall, an okay experience, but there’s definitely room for improvement in service and consistency.

I absolutely loved this Indian restaurant in Santa Barbara. It’s located in a very beautiful area, and the atmosphere inside is calm, clean, and welcoming, with lovely artwork and a peaceful, elegant vibe. The food was outstanding. The shrimp were large and perfectly cooked, the masala sauce was rich and flavorful, the samosas were delicious, and the paneer was excellent. We also tried the masala chai and rice pudding — everything tasted amazing. Every dish was full of flavor and clearly made with care. The service was also exceptional. Joban was very friendly, attentive, and made us feel truly welcome. The service was top-notch. We will definitely be coming back and highly recommend this restaurant.

We really enjoyed our visit to Indian Tandoori Kingdom. We're vegetarian, and it can be difficult to find healthy vegetarian meals for the whole family. Indian food offers a great option for us We ordered the paneer pakora appetizer for our son, who liked it very much along with a couple of garlic naan slices. My wife ordered the vegetable korma with the daily rice option. She's loved it. It wasn't too creamy, and it was very flavorful with the right amount of spice. She said it may have been the best korma she's ever had. High praise, indeed! I ordered the paneer tandoori, which was served on a hot cast iron platter with a bed of onions and green peppers. It was served with a coriander (cilantro) dipping sauce. The paneer was perfectly charred and spiced for great flavor. Check out the

We had an incredible experience at the restaurant. The food was great! Shahi Paneer, Chilli Naan, Aloo prantha, Kheer are delicious and homely! Excellent service by Joban bhai, he was very friendly and accommodating with our small requests. He ensured that we had good experience at the restaurant. Highly recommend a visit here!
