Shangri-La Cafe & Grill — Restaurant in Rohnert Park

We visited this place on a Monday afternoon, and it wasn’t busy at all. They’ve ample seating inside, and the ambience inside is quite warm. They’ve the artwork from Nepal on the walls too which was nice to see.

Coming to the food, we ordered Chicken Chho-ela and it was quite delicious. They served it in a papadum(in Hindi we call it papad), and that was a nice twist to the dish. Chicken chho-ela is essentially boneless chicken marinated with spices, garlic, onion and cilantro. It made for a great appetiser.

For the main course, we ordered chicken curry which was delectable. The garlic cilantro naan was great as well, quite crispy. They had quite a few other delicious looking dishes, some of which I’ll be sure to try next time.

They’re located in the strip mall and are quite conspicuous. There’s a lot of parking available as well. Thank you to the polite and...

Very disappointing experience. The tikka masala was not tikka masala. It was cream colored so it was 95% cream. I asked for spicy. It wasn’t. So bland and flavorless. And $15.99 for just veggies. Same price as chicken. I’ve been eating tikka masala for 30 years. This was the worst I’ve ever had. I couldn’t even tell if there was garlic on my garlic naan. I should have been able to at least smell it. The guy who helped me was very condescending and ignored me. I asked him repeatedly how long my order was going to take and he wouldn’t answer me. His wife or whoever took pity on me and came out from the back to let me know how long my order would take so I could go wait in my car comfortably. I will never go back in there again. It’s watered down Indian food. I would spend your money elsewhere. There are much better...

The service was prompt and friendly. The food was fresh, but, for me, a little bland. I was surprised at the lack of flavor. We had the samosas to start: they were packed with mildly seasoned almost-mashed potatoes, very little of other things like peas or spices. We also had the lentil soup to start. Nice texture and a generous amount, but again, very bland. It needed salt. For our main course, my husband got the eggplant potato curry and I got the tofu chili. My tofu chili was perfectly spiced for me. Nice! I really enjoyed this dish. However, the eggplant was very oily and, again, bland. I would give this place another shot but each dish was individually priced and I felt we overpaid. If your wallet if thick and you like your food very mildly seasoned, then give this place a shot. Otherwise, just go...
