Urbann Turbann

Urbann Turbann is my favorite Indian Fusion restaurant in the US, hands-down.

When I lived in Berkeley, I'd be at Urbann Turbann at least once every two weeks, if not more frequently. The combination of nostalgia-satisfying Indian food, and cost-effective/time-effective to go food proved to be quite useful in the busy life of an undergrad. The staff is always pretty friendly, and will be happy to help you understand the menu if you're not familiar with the Indian food items.

The restaurant offers their menu in a build-your-own style, so it's fairly easy to customize their offerings to what you're looking for. When I was in school, I often would order a wrap or bowl, Mango Lassi, and a samosa or two to top it all off. On one of my recent visits, I attempted something like this, and found that it was waaaay too much food for me to eat in one sitting. I guess I just ate a lot more in college? Freshman 15 = Senior 60, amirite? Oh just me? My B.

All jokes aside, the restaurant is great. I'd recommend a rice bowl with butter chicken, and customize the rest of the ingredients to your fancy. I like to add the diced jalapenos, as well as the homemade raita (it's worth it, I promise!)

Keto/ Low Carb Folks: In the past, I've eaten at Urbann Turbann when I wasn't on a low carb diet, but it's easy enough just to get the same bowl without the rice and fill up on other ingredients. You'll still end up with a ton of delicious food!

Your samosas are too oily.

Curries are tasty and healthy. Food is served very quickly so almost no wait time.

very tasty tandoori chicken, generous portion, totally worth it for a quick delicious lunch

If you want a food baby... This Indian burrito passes the forearm size test! Great to share with a friend or get stuffed solo. Quantity and not bad quality considering the format.
