Hari Om Shri Ram | Indian Cuisine

Absolutely Delicious! I’ve only been to 3 different Indian restaurants in my life and this one doesn’t disappoint!
I really hope they start being open more because this place really needs some fixing up, and decorations.
I highly recommend trying this place out if you get the chance.

As an Indian myself, I was shocked to find authentic Indian food in small town California. All the food was A+. The owner took really great care of me and my friends, treating us like family. It truly felt like I was dining at some long lost family's place. Definitely give this place a go!

The food was great but that's not the only thing that builds your experience.
Based on the owner's suggestion, we had ordered for a veg thali with Saag Paneer and a Chicken Thali. The food was absolutely delicious.
In vegetarian thali, we got a mixed veg (very different than the usual Indian mixed veg), daal, rice, with a small naan, palak paneer. He also added a gobi aloo as well which we requested instead of daal. All of the food felt light weight but flavorful and filling too.
The Chicken thali had all the above and a chicken tikka as well.
The 2nd time we had food there, we had ordered for veg pakoda and chai. When we called up initially, he wasn't pleased as it seems like they don't serve the pakoda and chai by itself. You need to have dinner as well along with. This was absurd to be honest. But anyway we arrived there and the owner was apologetic and served us the pakoda and chai.
Pakoda was great and very flavorful but the chai was not good at all. It felt like the chai was made in a vessel which was used for other dishes and not washed well. Chai had a strong flavor of veg curry.
The hospitality was good. We enjoyed talking to the owner initially, as others have mentioned but eventually it felt a bit intrusive. At times it was hard to have a conversation with my wife while having our lunch(and dinner, on day 2) as he would come back with something to talk about. I must say, he won't let you miss your Indian "neighborhood uncle" :-D. He mentioned the following words "organic" and that he is a "botanist" Multiple times during our 2 visits to this place which became repetitive to me after some time. One of the reasons why we kept wondering if we should get a take out instead of having the food there on the 3rd day.

Having said this, next time I am in Shasta I will surely get food from here if we have a craving for some spicy homely food.

Great food and awesome hospitality! The owner made us feel very much at home and even shared an off menu item his family made for themselves that was delicious (it was a coconut, cilantro and mint chutney I think) The samosas were huge and very flaky and fresh. Some of the food was a little spicy but I felt like it was a perfect amount and not overwhelming like some Indian food can be. I would definitely stop here if you want some good quality food and a relaxing environment
