Naan Stop — Restaurant in Isla Vista

Our Daughter recently started at UCSB,and I think the first food she found was Naan Stop.Wow am I so glad fate shined upon her and led her to Naan Stop.The food here is incredibly tastey.She brought our family here on Friday and showed us what she found.First off...Im loving it.So tastey. Our daughter has come here several times and I think the owner has been very kind to her.He has given her samples,even when she did not ask,I think in an attempt to have happy customers,and perhaps try and give her some new tastes,which can be found in indian food. There were four of us that sat down.It has about six tables inside the restaurant.There is parking behind the restaurant.If you pull in and park to the right,that seems to be a community center parking,with a polite and active patrol gaurd,which said I think technically the stuff on the right is community center parking.So he did say behind the back entrance there is parking.Ok parking aside...The FOOD!!! Three of us ordered chicken of the day,and our ucsb daughter ordered chicken ticka masala with an extra side of curry sauce...which might have been chicken of the day sauce. The food was ready pretty quick really.The food came in circular containers approximately 4 inches circular by 3 inches tall.Inside I found tender chunks of curry chicken with a very flavorful curry sauce over basmati rice. With my first bite,I knew this guy made a legit product.It was warm,fresh and flavorful.The meals were served with Naan Bread with butter and herbs wrapped in tinfoil served on the table.We realized our daughters smart move with extra curry sauce,as that fire warmed garlicky toastey Naan Bread dipped in any of the items such as Chicken Tikka Masala or Chicken Of The Day,is pure Nirvana...and that is no joke.The owner may or may not have sensed that his latest new customer,had now also brought her family here,but he brought out a WHOLE BUNCH of that toastey,garlicy,buttery Naan Bread to us free of charge.It was so welcomed by our family,as it was warm and crunchy and dripping with butter and herbs....wow that was some tastey eats. GREAT JOB NAAN STOP. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian food,or would like to try it. Just go there and play it out.It...

When you walk in, stay to the right; this is where you will find the menu on the wall and order. I see people walking up to the register and trying to order, the setup isn't 100% intuitive but that's fine. To be honest, I did the same thing, but I figured it out while waiting for the register guy to ring someone else up. The customer service was good. I chatted briefly with the dude at the register. The two people running the front seemed nice.

I ordered food from here a few days ago. It was amazing. It reminded me of another Indian food place in Los Angeles. Imo the place is a two $$, but for this area it's a single $. After being deprived of food for so long, this really filled me up nicely.

The Earl Grey boba is not worth getting though; it's a real shame because Earl Grey done right can be a really outstanding choice for milk tea boba. The boba was cooked correctly, it wasn't raw nor was it overly soft and falling apart in the straw.

The biggest bonus I would give this place is that they have a cute girl working there ^_^ (They would get 4 stars regardless of her being...

I have not nearly enough words to express what an incredible establishment Sunny & his family run here in Isla Vista. I’ve been visiting this place since 2016, almost 9 years later & I’m still driving all the way from Central Valley to get a plate of their delicious food. The quality & taste of their food truly stands the test of time.

Sunny (the owner) is always greeting us with the warmest & kindest customer service. He offers you samples to taste all their dishes & also offers a “special of the day.” So you’re bound to find something to your liking on their menu!

Pictured, is my usual order: chicken tikka masala, their “special chicken of the day,” toasted garlic naan, white basmati rice, & mango lassi. Their mango lassi is undeniably the best I have ever tasted, from any restaurant. And the portions for their food & drinks are a great value for their price.

Sunny, if you’re reading this, it was a pleasure seeing & speaking with you again, & my family & I will gladly return in the next coming years! Thank you for continuing to bring comfort to the heart...
