If I could give this place 100 stars I would!! We had an incredible dining experience at Zen Curry! From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is stunning-gorgeous, elegant, and spotless. The service was top notch, and the owner makes you feel so genuinely welcomed. Now, the food: absolutely extraordinary. The Tikka Masala and the Cream Chicken were hands down the absolute best dishes we have ever had-rich, tender, and bursting with incredible flavor! The lentil soup was also delicious, but those two main dishes completely stole the show. Beyond the unforgettable food and hospitality, what touched my heart the most was the spirit of this restaurant. Seeing scripture and Bible verses throughout the space, and hearing how openly the owner shares their faith-acknowledging that Jesus and the Lord is the true CEO of the business, made our visit truly special. It is a place filled with peace, blessing, and incredible warmth. If you are looking for phenomenal food prepared with heart and purpose, Zen Curry is an absolute must visit. We will definitely be back!!!

Hubby and I went here for date night. Bar was busy so we sat at the bar for atmosphere. We’ve sat in the main dining area before and it’s very nice, good for a date! This place does not disappoint- the staff is friendly, we chatted with the owner Hari and his brother Toya off and on, as well as Jackson bartending. One other guy was really friendly too but we didn’t catch his name! Starter were samosas - a favorite and the sauces were as expected. Lamb chops were exceptional - simply served with cabbage that sautéed itself on a hot plate. We tried the chili garlic naan and enjoyed that as well. Everything came out hot and delicious - which you’d expect but don’t always get these days! Do not miss this place. You will not be disappointed!

This was our second time we stopped at Zen Curry and Grill and it was really great. The food came as soon as we finished to watched around. Servers were really kind and polite and the ambiance was 10 out of 10.

This restaurant deserves all the 5 stars it has accumulated. Excellent food. Very delicious. Clean utensils & plate. Service was impressive and ambience was really pleasant. Restaurant smelt very pleasant & aromatic. Not like cleaning product like a hospital or bathroom. That made a huge difference in overall experience. There is no good Indian Restaurant in San Diego area but this one is superb. We will be visiting this place again & again as we live in San Diego & we would rather drive an hour for good food plus clean & appetizing atmosphere than waste money on dirty restaurant with dirty plates, smelly dining area & tasteless food. Authentic & delicious food, full bar, great service, beautiful decor, clean & beautiful restrooms, they also give girl & knife unlike other Indian places where knife is not an option & makes eating meat a challenge. The owners have put in a lot of thought & effort. I would give them 7 stars if that was an option. Highly recommend this restaurant. Thank you to Saurav too for adding cherry on top. What a professional, friendly & perfect service. Thanks to the Chef & salute to all involved.

Me and my husband had an excellent time here. Best Indian spot in we ever been to. My husband doesn’t usually eat lamb but he adored the lamb tikka masala. My fish curry was delicious and spice level was perfect. Our server, Issam, was very helpful in picking our naan choices, the chili, garlic and paneer naan. So warm and the perfect catalyst for our curry scoops. Can’t wait to come again!
