Sattva Indian — Restaurant in Aliso Viejo

I had an amazing experience and phenomenal time here at the Pakistani 🇵🇰 PAKWAN ORIGINAL RESTAURANT then after some time it became what is called now, ViVA Pakistan 🇵🇰 my brothers and sisters here all joined together for dinner 🥘 eating halal shrimp 🍤 only shrimp is halal we all know that !!! I had told them no spice but my guest said it was still hot 🥵 I felt it was good 😌 and a little spicy 🌶️ but this is good 😊 for health to protect us iNShaALLAH. THE REASON I PUT 5 STARS ⭐️ 🌟✨⭐️🌟 is to create peace around the world 🌍 we want peace and tranquillity. The staff was very good at bringing the items and food for our early dinner at a timely manner and also at first he was very loud because of his culture from India 🇮🇳 I hope they make more peace in the near future and do your best at spreading peace and so he started to tone down and bring all the necessary items per requests. It started getting busy and they dealt with each customers according to the patients they have so I held back after I made a few more requests the place is absolutely amazing here at our Town Center we love 😍 so much in our backyard for over 14+ years and the food was also top notch chicken tikkah Masalaaaah and shrimp 🍤 biriyani had more spicey even with low to no spice as requested to order and we dine in and we took a lot of food out with nice togo bowl with lid and foil on the sides that we squeeze and put inside a plastic bag 💼. Their was also a tall man ALLWAYS smiling and never said a word !!! I felt like I was in the several movies with my favorite actor Dev Patel from slum dog 🐶 🐕 millionaire!!! And my other favorite 😍 movie 🎥 Lion 🦁 starring Dev Patel on Netflix !!! Take care and enjoy see you guys here where we can all have fun 🤩 laughter and enjoy middle eastern food 🥘 Cow Cow ,...

12/21/24: Next visit I’m so glad I decided to come again. This time I got the chicken vindaloo and my mom got the chicken tikka masala. I had them make mine with chicken breast. The chicken breast was so tender and the best quality chicken. The dish was a bit spicy but I asked for yogurt and that helped make it mild. I tasted my mom’s dish too. It was full of flavor. I was so impressed with the quality of the food that I changed the rating of 3 to all 5’s. 🙂 The waiters were very attentive and extremely nice and pleasant as before. I’m definitely coming back again. Thank you, Sattva! 😋

This is the first time I’ve been to this restaurant. Indian cuisine is my favorite. I’ve tried pretty much all of the Indian restaurants in this area. But I was disappointed with my lunch special. I ordered the Dahl and chicken tikka masala. The Dahl was very bland. Although I liked the chicken tikka masala sauce, I didn’t like the quality of the chicken. But the servers were attentive and courteous. And the atmosphere outside was nice as well. Maybe I didn’t order the right dish. I might go back and try another dish because the reviews that I read recommended this restaurant. 1/8/25 I came to have dinner here and ordered the chicken biryani bc the waiter recommended it. It is soo good. 😌 It’s full of flavor and the chicken is moist and tender and a bit spicy. It’s absolutely perfect. I definitely recommend it especially if you’re...

I can't tell you how disappointed I am. I ordered the egg biryani, garlic Naan, and raita. The 2 stars are for the Naan and raita.

I feel like if these folks' parents tasted how FLAVORLESS this egg biryani is, they'd drop-kick those cooks. I mean...I have never tasted Indian food so bland. Yes, it had the fennel, the cardamom, the cloves, etc...But not a LICK of salt. The only piece that had a hint of flavor was the boiled egg, but that was because it was slathered with what I'm guessing a ginger/garlic/tomato paste, but even the egg (inside) was flavorless/saltless.

Smh. I was coming to pick up my lunch from work, and I literally am just sad. They gave a good helping and were nice, but Idk...maybe they got used to their usual clienteles' taste buds, because this is located in a "wealthier" part of town and maybe they told them the food was too spicy or salty. Smh.

I also ordered "medium" for spice and, honestly, Louisiana Hot Sauce is spicier than this dish. I'm honestly just...shocked. I never in my life thought I'd EVER taste bland Indian food!

I'm new to the area, so I'm learning that the high-tanking stars aren't necessarily...
