Mahan Indian - Alhambra

The weekend lunch buffet was excellent. There were five vegetarian options available, four of which were vegan. The Aloo Vindaloo, Chana Masala, Dal Tarka, and Saag were especially flavorful.

This restaurant offers great food and has the charm of a family-run business. Recently, however, it seems they've cut back on the chutney and raita, possibly due to the inflation we're experiencing in 2022. Unfortunately, the raita I received was watered down. I had to ask for extra chutney because they only provide one small container of tamarind and one for the green chutney, even after spending over $120 on various dishes. That's my only complaint. Overall, when you go, you'll enjoy your meal, but personally, I need more chutney and raita.

Overall, I would give this restaurant a rating of around 3.5 stars. For lunch, they offer a buffet, but you can also order a la carte. I tried the half chicken tandoori, lamb vindaloo, and garlic naan. The tandoori took quite a while to arrive (about 25 minutes), which I expected, but I did notice that the buffet had tandoori chicken available as well. Unfortunately, the tandoori was a bit dry and somewhat bland. The lamb vindaloo had a nice portion and a good kick to it, with a robust flavor. The garlic naan was decent, though the garlic flavor wasn't very strong. It paired okay with the tandoori. My girlfriend ended up getting more tandoori chicken at another restaurant afterward, which probably says a lot about our experience here.

Very good Indian food! I love the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan!!

Vegan mango lassi was warm And for 15 dollars the serve is small you'd at least think you'd get roti with it for that price. Very greasy. The samosas were the only thing that were pleasant.
