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

Great place all around. Sort of a hidden gem in IV. Their garlic naan is the best. The owners are great as well, very friendly people and great service. Just had a sample of their green tea smoothie/milkshake and will definitely be back to get one. Don't be afraid to try the food too, you can sometimes get a small sample to try first and everything I've gotten has been good (:

I used to love this place. Recently they changed their prices so that, instead of getting a better deal on larger orders, large to go containers cost disproportionately more than their smaller counterparts. 8oz Chicken is 5.7512oz Chicken is 9.75The difference in volume is 150%The difference in price is 170%Then they charge an extra dollar if you want Chicken Tikka Masala!They clearly changed their pricing to a more predatory model to take advantage of drunk college students. This is a sad cash grab from a great restaurant. I cannot recommend this place anymore. If you want to get a delicious Indian feast, go to Masala Spice.

The hospitality here was great when we went. The food had naan stop flavor! So delicious and affordable. Great spot for vegitarians as it has many options to pick from so that you can enjoy your meal now and still come back later to try other new options and combinations. They provided samples and helpful information in case one has allergies or preference. I highly recommend trying this place. I look forward to coming back and trying more of their foods.

Love Naan Stop, an old favorite. I used to come here all the time when I was younger. Had an opportunity to pick some up today for the first time in a very long time, and I must say that it is just as good as I remember. And now I feel like I have been neglecting this IV gem. One of the last of the old, long running restaurants. I truly hope that the gentrification of Isla Vista won't make Naan Stop go. I have loved every dish I've tried here.

A fast food version of the standard Indian lunch buffets, you can order complicated meals, or more commonly you can grab a 1 item bowl or 2 item plate. All the standards are here, Chicken Tikka Masala, Vegetable Korma, Chicken Vindaloo, Chana Masala, Saag Paneer, etc. They do variaties of naan that are good and fresh, and the owner who frequently works the register is very nice.You can eat in, they have a sauce stand for the mint chutney, etc you may want, and some cramped seating for those stopping in for a quick lunch. There's a small shared parking lot as well, making it convenient for lunch even if you have to drive in from outside Isla Vista. Alternatively they do take out, providing separate sauce and rice containers to make it easier to transport, and have both GrubHub and DoorDash.The prices are very good, it's slightly on the less expensive side for a lunch in the IV area.

Think Panda Express, but for Indian food. They have trays of pre-made food and serve straight from them. It's not gourmet, but I think it tastes pretty good, and it's not absurdly expensive! I like the chicken tikka masala, but the veggie options are good, too! If you don't mind paying an extra couple dollars, I'd recommend also getting either a samosa or warm naan.A word of caution. There are several menus in the store, so it's a little confusing to order. I (and the people working there) recommend you just pick something from the blackboard next to the food trays. I always just get a rice bowl. Simple and cheaper than most other options!Something I don't like about this place is the use of plastic and styrofoam bowls and utensils. Something to keep in mind if you're bothered by using disposable things.

My go-to Indian place, setup as a student buffet. Be sure to check out the larger menu, can get custom curries, samosa, dahls, etc. Buffet is inexpensive, full menu a bit pricier, but worth it. Small dining space, but happy takeout. Beware driving in IV as students wander streets as if cluless to vehicles, especially watch out for random foolish bicycles expecting world to watch out for blind entrance on busy streets.
Feedback:
one of my favorite places to eat in iv. the rice bowl and a la carte options are two of the most cost effective ways to fill up your tummy in this teenage wasteland. water is free, a number of sauces are provided. the garlic naan is tight, Samosas are noteworthy, and a number of vegetarian options are offered. my girlfriend and I enjoy this fine establishment and frequent it's premises.
Feedback:
They use only styrofoam containers to serve all their food in, even if you eat it there. This concerns me because it is so much plastic waste that is not recyclable and harms our local ocean and wildlife. I would consider going there if they changed their containers and eating ware. Please change your styrofoam! Something that is bioregradable, environmentally friendly or reusable!
