Naan Stop - Goleta

We discovered Naan Stop a couple years ago and make sure to stop by every time we visit SB bc we LOVE IT. The owner is one of the nicest guys on the planet and is happy to provide samples until you decide on your favorite curry. The bowls are perfectly sized for a meal or even two if you're a light eater. The proportions between rice and curry are always 100% perfect, even down to the very last bite at the bottom of the bowl (I sometimes tear up when I get to that point, but such is life). I haven't found a bad piece of chicken yet either; they are all prime chunks grilled to perfection. You can't go wrong with the Paneer either, and coconut specials are also perfection so the hardest part is choosing just one! Pro tip: order at least 2 different curries and share w a partner.

This is place is really good, I personality very ignorant with indian food but I like to enjoy myself with comfort food and this place really kicks in for me. The food is great, the workers are friendly and thats all I can say from my experience. For a small indian place this made me a fan of indian food. Highly recommend to everyone to try it and enjoy

Naan stop is fantastic! The people are super friendly and generous, and the food is absolutely spectacular. Best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever tried. This is your sign to go here

Absolutely love the guy who works here!!! I would argue that this is the best spot in IV. The first time that I went, I had a great convo with the boss (I’m guessing he is? and he kept giving me and my friends samples and big portions of food. Came back again today to buy some boba for my roommate that graduated. We had a good conversation and have gave us two free bowls as a congratulations!! Support this business as much as possible! The thai tea boba is amazing and his food is the first authentic Indian food I’ve ever had! : Thank you! <3

Really friendly great staff and delicious food! Not typically a fan of saag paneer but this one is delicious (so are the rest of the curries)!
