India Gourmet - Watsonville (CA)

5 /5 ryan mosher: Found out this place was here from a full page advertisement they sent in the mail. My wife and I ordered for pickup. It was a little confusing to find. You have to drive down the back alley of the business shopping center in order to find it. You pick up at what would be a back door to a kitchen. We ordered a vindaloo lamb wrap, chicken tikka masala with rice, 2 samosas and 2 garlic naans. Their rose lemonade was fantastic as well! The food was great, my wife and I enjoyed it! We will definitely be coming back :)

4 /5 Tammy Hayes: I can’t really judge service or atmosphere because I ordered from Door Dash. My food portions were much smaller than advertised (mostly rice in 6 inch bowls) and the somosa chaat (where’s the samosas?) doesn’t look like the photo. The flavors were not that great—quite bland. I’ve had better Indian food. They did include a free small lemon rose drink, which was nice, and yummy.

5 /5 Vanessa Cordeiro: So stoked to have fresh, delicious, authentic Indian food here in Watsonville!! I ordered over the phone and had all my questions answered patiently and politely. I’ll order through their website next time, but calling allowed me to order our favorites AND cover our family’s allergies. 90% of our order was dairy-free, and the majority of that was also vegan. Gluten-free options are also available if that’s your thing. For reference: - Chicken vindaloo is dairy-free. - Samosas, spinach saag, and chickpea masala are all vegan. - Naan is vegan IF you skip the ghee (clarified butter). - Veggie korma has cream and is NOT vegan or dairy-free, but was my absolute favorite item today. Delivery was fast and I was glad I wasn’t dealing with a delivery service that takes a huge cut from small businesses (like Dash that takes 20%). The delivery person was sweet and we had a great convo about how they are the folks everyone enjoys at our local farmers markets and they want us to be able to enjoy their food at home, too. But can’t recommend enough. We will be ordering again VERY soon!!

5 /5 Parminder Singh: Ordered chicken tikka masala combo plate and samosas from this restaurant, quantity was good could get two meals out of it. One of the most authentic indian food around santa cruz/watsonville area, would recommend it. For me it was lacking some spiciness but that’s just my preference.

5 /5 Helen Oh: I ordered takeout from here, and it was fantastic! The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich, creamy, and full of flavor, and the samosas were crispy and delicious. I’m a regular fan of Lamb Vindaloo, and while this one was tasty, I did wish it was spicier. I ordered on their website and opted for pickup. The staff was friendly, and the whole experience was smooth and enjoyable. Ill definitely be coming back! HIGHLY recommend!
