I came here a while back with my godson. It was his first time trying Indian food (he’s only 13). The cafe is spacious, welcoming, and the staff are warm and easygoing. We took a seat at table and received ice waters. As it was my godson’s first time trying Indian cuisine, I ordered the butter chicken, but threw in an order of paratha and dosa to give him a little something unusual. The butter chicken was pretty good! Great consistency and well-balanced, plus a good portion and a heaping service of white rice. The paratha was good, too. It was cooked perfectly, had light flavoring, and paired well with the butter chicken. The dosa, though, stole the show. That dosa and the sambar and chutney dips were delicious. My godson and I devoured them happily. Nandri might not be the best Indian food I’ve ever had, but it’s definitely a great option, especially in an Indian-food deprived area of San Diego like National City. Come here and get that dreamy dosa!

Ive actually been here a few times, tries quite a few dishes Lastly I tried the "Taco" which was their tender bread as a tortilla and their chicken. A slapper. The butter chicken is amazing, not a fan of the chicken in there, but their other chicken which is Chicken Fried, is amazing. Off the top of my head I could not tell you what other dishes and how to pronounce them, but they're all amazing A while back they had a sample platter which allowed me to try different kinds and none of then disappointed. The staff is really nice and kind as well. Definitely the best place to try indian food that is around here, without it being super commercial

My friend said go checkout this Indian Cafe place and so we made a special trip. The owners are so hospitable! Plenty of space, and so cute. The food. Oh my goodness... The absolute best!!! So delicious. The fried chicken was so amazing. Soft and tender with a crispy outer shell. My husband ordered the Flight to India so you get a sampler of delish food! I loved it so much I ordered catered curry chicken (so creamy) and some other creamy and well flavored Indian spiced meal that had like a buttered cheese in it. Im a bit new to Indian food so I don't know the names. However I know delish Indian food. Just go and try it. YOU'LL LOVE IT!!!
