Sattva Indian Rasoi — Restaurant in Mission Viejo

You know that type of family that you dread coming to visit you but you have to be nice to them because they only visit once every few years? Yeah... I made the mistake of bringing a family member here yesterday. She was so rude to the waiter. The waiter was wonderful, answered all of our questions, helped with recommendations, and checked up on us often. And even when the family member in question was rude to the waiter and kept trying to show him pictures of a restaurant she visited overseas on her phone. The waiter very politely viewed her photos and described the dishes she had eaten. The waiter was very professional! The food was amazing and it was a good amount of food for the price. They have vegetarian options and meat options for us carnivores. The restaurant was empty since this restaurant is hidden from street view but it is worth the trip. I know I will be ordering from here more often and leaving that rude family member at home. Thank you to the cooks and the staff at this restaurant! You are all amazing! Great food, quiet environment, and professional staff. The dessert was also very tasty! Fresh mango and vanilla pudding. Delicious! They also have take-out and a huge menu to choose from. Don't skip out on this place! Leave the mean family members at home...

Food was delicious, happy to have a local Indian place where you see Indians eat at, especially college aged people. Price is good especially considering the quantity of food given (unlike some local places where same price only gets you 1/3 of the food given here). One note, and it's not enough to mark down a star, food was not spicy enough even though spicy was checked on the online order form. It's not worth knocking a star off because of how flavorful and good the food was. Next time I'll mention it in the special comments section to make it 1/2 indian hot.

One other thing, Chicken 65 is supposed to be crispy. I totally get why it's not, and again, because of the taste, it's not really that important to knock off a star.

All in all, worthwhile coming here, recommended if you are seeking to knock off that wanting feeling for indian food.

Edit: they made a mistake on my order and then even after showing them the receipt they still thought I was lying to them. Haven't...

I used to have a lot of prejudices about Indian cuisine. I was particularly apprehensive about the abundance of spices and curry. I can confidently say that this place shatters all stereotypes. The ingredients harmonize beautifully, and the dishes will even appeal to those who don't enjoy culinary experiments.

Most dishes from the main menu will look visually similar to each other. The meat will resemble a stew, incredibly tender and well-cooked, accompanied by plain rice and flatbreads.

For appetizers, you can try something like meat pastries. They contain spices and are slightly salty, but when you taste them with one of the two sauces, they transform into a completely different flavor.

The place is fantastic, and the people working there are...
