Came here with my mom, sister and aunt and WOW…the sahi paneer alone is worth the trip. Creamy, flavorful, honestly one of the best things I’ve ever eaten. Everything else we tried was fantastic too–the veggie jhol momos, gobi manchurian, lamb tikka masala, palak paneer… and the mango lassis? Perfect.
We loved that you can customize spice levels (great for groups with different heat tolerances), and there are plenty of vegetarian and vegan options. The patio is sunny and chill, and the staff are genuinely friendly.
Will definitely be coming back!

Absolutely delicious! The food, music, and atmosphere take you to a different place. We felt fully immersed in the Nepalese and Indian culture. We were treated like family from the moment we walked in and until we left. We ordered everything that they suggested, and our hearts and bellies were full.

Zen Curry and Grill in Temecula is a hidden gem! This Indian and Nepalese restaurant has cozy ambiance, and great service. The Palak Paneer is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of spice, and the paneer is so fresh and soft.
And their Chilli Naan is It’s the perfect combo of crispy, chewy, and spicy, with just the right amount of kick. Definitely a must try.
The Veg Momos, Mushroom Curry also tasted great, the portions generous with fresh ingredients, and vegan-friendly. The prices are higher and equivalent to a San Diego downtown indian restaurant.

Food is always 10/10 phenomenal and the service is even better. We are constantly taken care of and checked on, Issam is extremely helpful and attentive and loves recommending us dishes and teaching us about the traditional way to eat them and their history. Such a great environment. The ambiance is also 10/10. My girlfriend and I love the dim lit environment with the subtle lighting over the tables as well as the nice tables and glassware. It all feels very upscale and intimate. It’s one of our favorite spots for a date night when we are in the area and craving some great food on cold nights. Very comforting. We both recommend it. We are now regulars here.

We had a delicious Indian meal at Zen Curry & Grill!! The butter chicken, salmon tandoori, pumpkin curry, veggie biryani and garlic naan were all very tasty! Authentic Indian flavors. I especially liked the creaminess of the butter chicken. They serve a crispy chickpea bread with chutney as a yummy free starter. Service was excellent, Darci was our waitress and she was so nice and helpful throughout. The restaurant has a great ambiance, food came out hot and fresh. They have an excellent beer selection on draft and $5 beers for happy hour (M-F 2-5pm). Support local and check them out!!
