    We love the curry and flatbreads here! Service is nice too. Ambience is average so we usually do take outs.

    When you walk into the restaurant, it's a nice simple strip mall restaurant. Nothing over the top, very clean and pleasant, with a number of tables for the customers and a counter to order your food to go. The service struck me as a 2 person operation. One person in front, and 1, maybe 2 people in the back. So as the food was made, it was delivered to our table quickly, since we were the only people in the restaurant at that particular time. As for the food, it was very tasty. I wish I remembered to take pics of it only because it smelled good, and tasted even better. Next time I will. But we had the Garlic Naan, tasty; the samosas, these were oversized samosas and good, but I don't know if it was worth the price. As I think about it, the samosas were tasty... but perhaps Americanized.. it was lacking some kick to them. The spice palette wasn't fully there. I've had plenty of samosas and used to make my own (years ago), and I can say, they were toned down, perhaps to serve the community. We also had the chicken Tikka Marsala. Heat level was 3 for my GF, but very tasty. Next time I order my own. The only thing that I am not a fan of is charging an exorbitant price for a can of soda. $3 for a can?!? Yes, that's a great money maker, but charging that much will force me to get the food to go instead of visiting and leaving a 20% tip. Overall, we enjoyed it. It was worth visiting and will visit again.

    I lived in the Bay Area for 8 years and sometimes I crave Indian food. Glad that we have the Naturally Desi Cafe in Rancho Bernardo. Super cute restaurant, very modern and clean. Food is delicious and the type of dishes that I like at an Indian restaurant. The down side is the pricing. I find it too expensive for what it is and now I only go when really craving that kind of food. Definitively not fast-food prices even if the restaurant is on the casual side.
