1.0 of 5 stars. If you are desperate to have Indian food, its worth the visit, but not for the price. I would definitely wait until you get within better city limits to get more love than just a cereal bowl full of...

1.0 of 5 stars. On the way from Sac to LA (Disneyland), my mom saw a bulletin of this place, thinking it would be fresh gourmet, non chain-ish Indian food. You know there is something wrong with this place when an...

Yelp.com Review - by Grayson F.

4.0 of 5 stars. For a non meat-eater, a trip through central California can be a dreary one. The I-5 is a barren wasteland of steak houses and the smell of bored cows getting ready to die, and granola bars do little...

3.0 of 5 stars. This is not great Indian food. Hell, it barely qualifies as Indian food. Still, I have a good explanation for why I'm giving it three (Ahem, 2 1/2 stars. Let's get on that, Yelp!):Usually, when you...

3.0 of 5 stars. I am kinda surprised by all the uber-negative reviews on here. I recently drove down to LA and saw it on the way, but wasn't really hungry at the time, so I decided to try it on my way back to SF.The...

1.0 of 5 stars. They have billboards along the I-5. I saw them over and over again. I thought it might be a nice change of pace from burgers or meal bars. I got a wrap to go. It was supposed to have meat in...

3.0 of 5 stars. OK -- if there had been an In 'n' Out Burger in Buttonwillow, we wouldn't have stopped at T of I. But there's not, so we decided to take a break -- Palm Springs to the Bay Area is a merciless bitch of...

1.0 of 5 stars. I wish I had done a search on yelp of this place BEFORE we stopped for lunch. We didn't want the usual fast food and we'd been to Mike's Roadhouse Cafe before and it wasn't exciting either. This place...

2.0 of 5 stars. Forget about the food here. It's nowhere compared to any India food anywhere. But ask for their special spicy sauce. It makes anything taste good!
