Indian Flavors Cuisine — Restaurant in Lodi

Stopped by this place while on a work trip late July 2025 and picked up a takeaway order. Ordered chicken vindaloo, garlic naan, vegetable samosa, and a mango lassi to go.

Overall food experience was very good. I'm not going to claim to be an expert on Indian cuisine, but occasionally food will scratch an itch that nothing else will satisfy, so I'll try to be a bit more descriptive.

I initially requested a lamb samosa as an appetizer as it appears on the website, but strangely there was no sign of such an item on the menu. When I asked about it, I was told they didn't have it. So if you're looking for a lamb samosa, get ready to be disappointed, maybe? Not sure why it would remain on the website if they don't have it or won't make it, but assume it's an outdated web page. Owners, if you are reading this, please update the website or possibly answer if you do have lamb samosas on the menu?

The vegetable samosa I did get was savory and flavorful. Crispy shell with a nice vegetable filling, so I was not really disappointed, but I was looking forward to the novelty of a lamb samosa.

Chicken vindaloo was the perfect level of flavor and spice for me. The chicken portions were generous and the sauce had great levels of spice. Great for dipping the naan and saucing the rice.

Garlic naan was buttery and flavorful, but it was a bit tough and chewy. Doesn't bother me, I enjoyed it but it did seem like other naan I've had hasn't been quite as elastic. Made it harder to tear into bits to dip into sauce, if that's your thing.

The manga lassi was probably a bit warmer than I would have liked. Taste was fine, maybe a little weak, but could be due to the stronger chicken vindaloo. But a good way to cool the tongue from the spice.

The green chutney was herby, flavorful, and refreshing as a dipping sauce and I enjoyed it quite a bit. The red sauce though... I don't know what it was, and I don't know if this is intentional, but it was extremely salty. It was so salty that I could barely take a few tastes of it to make sure I wasn't just going crazy, but it could have been straight soy sauce, only saltier.

So I will not count that red sauce against my rating. Again, if it's intended to be used like soy sauce (in other words, very sparingly) then I don't know what I could have added it to, since the chicken vindaloo was already a good balance of strong flavors. Same with the naan and chutney. I certainly wouldn't be adding it to the rice and most definitely not the mango lassi. But I'll just claim ignorance and not worry about it.

Overall I was not disappointed and would eat there again if I was...

We drove 45 minutes to get here from Stockton, we had heard of this place by word of mouth, and let me say that the trip was worth it! The food was hands down amazing!

We came for the Lunch Buffet and for $13.99 you can eat your fill and more! You can make your plate right when you enter and sit at a table of your choosing. After being seated we were given water and fresh Naan with garlic and butter/ghee on top. My uncle and I ate everything available today (however the buffet lineup seems to change daily)... Nevertheless we can say without a doubt that the Chicken dishes, vegetable samosas, and Lamb curry are flavorful, tender, and juicy!

We were assisted by a young lady named Garima, she helped described each item we were uncertain of on the buffet line. Service was quick and efficient, annd staff was very attentive.

Overall, we will...

We live in Sacramento but needed a dinner place on our way home coming from Yosemite. We haven’t had this good of Indian food in such a long time. Our place we used to go to in Sacramento closed down a couple years ago and we rarely have had good Indian food since then. This place was amazing. All of the dishes were so flavorful and good portion sizes too. We are mostly vegan and had plenty of options to chose from. We had Vegetable Pakora, Aloo Gobi and Peas Pulao. They were so good. The two ladies serving us, Simran and unfortunately I didn’t catch the other lady’s name, were so welcoming and sweet. We will definitely be back…either coming back from Yosemite again or just making a drive from Sacramento...
