Gandhi Cuisine of India

My family noticed that Gandhi had opened so we decided to give it a try. Most of us are vegan, and we were glad to see on the menu that many of the dishes can be made vegan.

We ordered several curries and garlic naan. Everything was flavorful and the portions felt like a good deal for the price. Our waiter was friendly and attentive.

We had a great experience and look forward to going again!

WONDERFUL place to eat!! The food is amazing, the service is superb!! I had the coconut curry it was so delicious!! You must try the Masala Chai tea too!! Omg! I went back there just for the tea to go after the first visit! **UPDATE** I went back again! This time I got pix of the butter chicken and malai kofta! It was very good and filling!

Love this new place! The food was amazing, the staff were so helpful and kind, and the inside decor was beautiful (very well decorated). We got chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan with mango chutney and we thought they were both delicious. Very flavorful and seasoned perfectly. 10/10 - we’ll definitely be back

We tried Gandhi Cuisine of India in Loma Linda for the first time tonight, and were not disappointed…we were delighted! We placed a takeout order at the counter and were assisted by two kind, pleasant gentlemen. We ordered garlic naan, naan with Colby jack, chili paneer, dal makhani, saag with paneer and potatoes, biriyani rice with vegetables, and butter chicken. Everything was delicious! Each dish had distinct flavors and was well seasoned, except for the garlic naan, which could have been a little more flavorful but was perfect when paired with another dish; next time we will order the naan with both garlic and Colby jack..the combo will be amazing. The butter chicken and dal makhani, my favorites, were stellar, and saag is now a new favorite. The basmati rice served with the entrees was moist, fluffy, and tasty on its own and with the main dishes. We don’t dine in much anymore since Covid, but we may here; the decor is chill as is the music, and the light fixtures are dope. We have a ton of leftovers in the fridge, but I am already looking forward to our next visit to Gandhi Cuisine of India in Loma Linda!

I was excited to try the new Indian restaurant in town. Upon walking in, the decor and atmosphere is wonderful. It is a dramatic change from the previous establishments that have existed in this space, and feels more luxurious than many of the other eateries in this plaza.

The wait staff seems to still be getting their legs under them after recently opening, but are generally friendly - if not edging on too helpful throughout the meal.

Our meal began with the Pakora and Vegetable Samosa appetizers.

The Pakora was incredibly salty, and was not crunchy. It had been fried, but was soggy and had no crunch that I was looking forward to.

The Samosa was rather bland. The Samosa outer shell was flaky and had a good crunch to it, but fell apart easily when trying to use the tamarind and mint sauces provided for dipping.

The lentil soup was served in a very tiny bowl, and unfortunately had very little taste. It was incredibly thin and watery and had a early taste of lemon, but beyond that it was bland.

The Naan had great crunch and was a wonderful density, but unfortunately the plain had no flavor and the garlic had no flavor with a bit of raw garlic flavor.

The Vegetable Korma wasn't bad, but it wasn't as rich as I've come to expect from other experiences. The potato wasn't fully cooked, but the cashews were a nice addition to the ingredients.

The rice was simple, but well cooked, and had a light taste of anise (a light licorice flavor), which was a nice touch.

Admittedly, when ordering our waiter asked if we wanted 'mild, medium or hot' - and I assumed this was the spice level, not how 'rich' the food might be. Perhaps I mistook the question and ordered all the food as mild.

The food is, unfortunately, disappointing - especially for how much it costs. Our meal consisting of 2 appetizers, a very small soup and one entree ended up costing $50. We had no drinks, no dessert and shared the entree.

Honestly, I'm hopeful this place makes it. Although our experience wasn't wonderful (with regards to the food), I'm hopeful it's just the restaurant starting up and figuring out their recipes. Beyond that, the value for the cost doesn't seem to make sense. I don't think Indian food should be cheap, but if you're charging these prices, at least let the food, both in amount and taste, be up to par.

I'm also willing to accept we have ordered the wrong items - the chicken a table near us received looked lovely. I've often felt if a restaurant can do well with lentil soup and naan, the rest of their items are likely wonderful.

If you enjoy Indian food and want a slightly more upscale experience, it's worth trying. I'm hopeful your experience is better than ours!
