Indian Food in Pasadena

“The food was delicious. I can say I highly recommend the Aloo Gobi”

“Excellent food and service. You don't usually find a fusion Indian cuisine easily. The combination of street food and traditional plates make this an excellent choice for variety.”

“They have the Best Indian food over here i am very happy after going here they have lots of options and specially the Chicken biryani and the Chicken Tikka masala”

“Great food and service! We tried the chicken tikka, paneer, chaat, biryani and garlic naan. Would order it all again!”

“This place defines modern and twisted Indian cuisine. One of the fancier and sophisticated Indian restaurants that I have been to. The food is truly exceptional, packed with flavor and absolutely delicious. The interior is very nice and they have a DJ that plays at night. An overall great addition to old town Pasadena, would highly recommend trying it out.”

“This place is really so good and the food is so amazing 😍 my family enjoy so much specially the chicken biryani and the sampler”

“10/10 experience! This is some of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. So flavorful and perfectly spiced. We tried the Tandoori wings and the Gobi Manchurian last night and I’m already craving both again today. Also everyone working there was fantastic but especially our server Taran! Super excited to go back”

“Great food! The curry was excellent, very rich and the naan bread delicious”

“Very favorable food. Naan was cooked to a perfect crunchiness. The samosas were served with a small salad which complemented the savory Samosas well. The masala was deeply flavorful. I will return to try other dishes. Oh and restrooms were immaculate.”

“We loved having lunch at Chak De California. The server was courteous and helpful. The host came along with some hot freshly made Gobhi parathas for us to try and welcomed us. The food was delicious and catered to our spice level. The vibe is on point and very picturesque. Highly recommend this place if you are visiting Pasadena.”

“Best Indian food I’ve ever had, period. Rivaled some of my favorite places in India itself. We cannot recommend this place enough, it’s simply a treat from the food to the music. The naan, curry, everything was off the charts good, you will not be disappointed”

“Amazing samosa chaat, lassi, and wraps among tons of really unique and delicious menu items! And in a really great spot next to tons of other restaurants, treat spots, and easy parking”

“Thank you for amazing food and service! Samosa chat 10/10 Papdi chat 8/10 Seekh kabob 8/10 Chhole Bhatura 10/10 Nimbu Masala 10/10”

“This place caught my wife and I totally off guard. Best Indian food we’ve had in the states. We ended up ordering a weeks worth of food, it was so good — we got the chicken korma, paneer, and chicken tikka masala, with sides of roti and garlic cheese naan. The naan in particular was a standout, I didn’t want to dip it in anything because it tasted so good on its own. Interior was also delightful, they didn’t skimp on materials. May this place have a long and bright future.”

“My family and me visited the place and it’s a must visit Indian restaurant in Pasadena. They went above and beyond in customer service. Mouth watering appetizers - specially sev puri and samosa chat. In main course try their billet naan if you are spice lover. Paneer do Pyaza and dal was also made to perfection. Will visit back soon.”

“Really good food, esp the paneer pizza and tacos! Sliders were delicious too.”

“Excellent Indian food, good portions perfect to share. We ordered garlic cheese naan and tandoori roti and it was perfect with everything else. Service is also very good!”

“We had their chicken tikka and chicken korma with garlic naan. Everything was delicious and the bread was fresh out of the oven and very tasty. We finished our meal with Kulfi as dessert which was beautifully presented and was delicious.”

“My wife and I had a great experience at Chak De California. The food was excellent, the ambience was nice, and the plating was done really well. The flavors felt authentic and reminded us of Punjab, which made it even better. Definitely recommend this place.”

“Surprisingly good. Highly Recommend Mumbai snack food menu…. Like vada pav and Frankies and chili paneer.”

“If you like true Indian food and an energetic feel, you will love Chak-De Bistro. We ordered a few dishes from the tandoor and some Mumbai street food (Frankies - sooo good). The owners are wonderful and passionate about this restaurant. We went on a Friday, and they had a DJ as well. Pasadena needed another strong Indian option, and this fills the void. Looking forward to our next trip.”

“I originally did not have very high expectations of the food here, I thought it would be nice but nothing extraordinary. I was extremely delighted to be proven completely wrong, this was some of the best Indian food I’ve had in Southern California and that’s saying something. Even the masala chai was good, the samosa chat and gobhi manchurian were divine. The price is excellent given the ambience, quality, and quantity of food. This is going to be a staple”

“Chicken 65 must try .!! Best sevice .! Best everything .!”

“Absolutely wonderful place for an outstanding modern indian dinner! Service was wonderful and helpful, and the food was the best I’ve had in the states. I’d recommend the Murg Makhani any day! I will be coming back!”

“This is a great Indian restaurant “Chak-De” in Pasadena with excellent food especially for out of town-ers! The naan bread is awesome! The curries are rich and i really love the samosas. Try the Mango Lassi as a dessert! Ther service is excellent. Coming back for sure.”

“Had some great food here on our trip to Pasadena! Highly recommend the kheema pav!”

“It is the best restaurant serving the most authentic Indian cuisine in California. Ally adds the charm with her amazing service, she’s is indeed 10/10 .”

“I have had a lot of extraordinary Indian food in my life, but this is in a elite universe all to its own .. all of the dishes tasted like a flavorful pallet of art in my mouth with a wonderful mix of spices . we came here for New Year’s eve and wow what a great way to bring in 2025. Truly a culinary treasure .”

“Amazing people and clean place! Amazing mixed pakora starters, great naan, gobi Manchurian, lamb vindaloo, and chicken tikka!”

“Nothing to complain about. Had the Masala fries & Raita. Quite delicious.”

“Absolutely DELICIOUS! The classic chicken tikka masala was perfect, and the Indo-Chinese noodles were a hit. The spice levels were also very accurate, so don’t get spicy if you’re not ready for a real burn. 😅 The interior looks better in person, with great decor and lighting for a romantic night-out vibe. The service was great too — I told our waiter we were short on time, and they graciously accommodated us and recommended dishes with quick cook times. In short, a must try spot for great Indian food in the area!”

“I tried the Indian cuisine so many times and this is my best restaurant the food is really amazing and the staff is so friendly and simran helped me with the menu and Tain was very helpful I’m definitely coming with my family next time”
