Indian cuisine that is uniquely different from most other restaurants in San Diego area. Food was mouthwateringly delicious amd price was reasonable. Located in a very beautiful shopping complex area, ideal for family gathering and friends get together. I loved their govi manchurian and veggie roll. And above all, the staffs are super friendly and serve you with a big smile. Give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

We experienced their catering over a span of of 3 days. The taste was so good and authentic. Paneer sabzi and many dishes were flavorful and kid friendly. Kachori and Vada Pav are our favorites. For Catering, they had the best hassle free packaging especially for things like their spl Chai that made it easy to order again. Naturally Desi team is definitely passionate about delivering quality and we love it.

We had ordered food from Naturally Desi for 100+ people, for an event conducted by a non-profit, for the first time. Was very impressed by the owner's professionalism. Not only was the order delivered on time, but the quality and quantity exceeded the expectations. The starters onion pakoras, mains punjabi pindi chole, bathure, and veg.pulao tasted so homely and left us wanting for more. The side of chili onion achar was lip smacking and was a hit among all. The spice level was kid friendly, but at the same time flavorful. The day ended with hot chai, perfect after an outdoor spring lunch.

had a wonderful time here!! we had the veg platter and the chili paneer (which is in the picture). the veg platter was just paneer but im not really complaining :P the paneer has a really good texture, it was super soft and the flavor of both was good we also ordered the vada pav, the bhindi masala, and the vegetable biriyani. i didnt get to try the biriyani but my family said it was really good!! overall like a 9/10 :)

Great hospitality. Very humble and polite people. Please maintain the quality of food. It is very rare to find good satisfactory food! Highly recommend this place

When you walk into the restaurant, it's a nice simple strip mall restaurant. Nothing over the top, very clean and pleasant, with a number of tables for the customers and a counter to order your food to go. The service struck me as a 2 person operation. One person in front, and 1, maybe 2 people in the back. So as the food was made, it was delivered to our table quickly, since we were the only people in the restaurant at that particular time. As for the food, it was very tasty. I wish I remembered to take pics of it only because it smelled good, and tasted even better. Next time I will. But we had the Garlic Naan, tasty; the samosas, these were oversized samosas and good, but I don't know if it was worth the price. As I think about it, the samosas were tasty... but perhaps Americanized.. it was lacking some kick to them. The spice palette wasn't fully there. I've had plenty of samosas and used to make my own (years ago), and I can say, they were toned down, perhaps to serve the community. We also had the chicken Tikka Marsala. Heat level was 3 for my GF, but very tasty. Next time I order my own. The only thing that I am not a fan of is charging an exorbitant price for a can of soda. $3 for a can?!? Yes, that's a great money maker, but charging that much will force me to get the food to go instead of visiting and leaving a 20% tip. Overall, we enjoyed it. It was worth visiting and will visit again.

Amazing Indian food. Found one more gem in San Diego for good Indian food. Visited this restaurant for lunch last week during a weekday. We ordered vadapav, pav bhaji, paneer khurchan and spicy potatoes. Could not have been better on taste and service. The vadapav was really soft and of perfect spice level. Spicy potatoes are basically potato fries sauteed in onions and sauces. The staff is super friendly and the location is also very convenient in Rancho Bernardo. They have created a nice desi vibe by putting an autorikshaw front in one corner along with lot of posters with desi phrases. Also on one side they have hung lights in tea pot shaped lamp shades. Really unique and authentic. Will surely visit again.
