    Punjabi Tandoor

    Miramar
    Order: Tandoori chicken, garlic naan, chana masala$12–20

    The best food-to-price ratio of any Indian kitchen in the county.

    Punjabi Tandoor has run the same tight Punjabi menu for years out of a Miramar unit with picnic tables. The tandoor is used constantly, so naan arrives blistered and chicken keeps its char. There is no service to speak of and no need for it.

    Read our full Punjabi Tandoor review — scored 89/100 in our Best Indian Food in San Diego with pros, cons and what to order.

    Local tip: It's a counter inside an industrial park — order at the window and eat outside.

    Dosa Place

    Mira Mesa
    Order: Masala dosa, medu vada, filter coffee$12–19

    South Indian cooking done with proper fermentation and griddle technique.

    Dosa Place batters ferment long enough to carry real sourness, and the griddle runs hot enough for a shattering crust. Sambar is vegetable-heavy rather than thin, and the chutneys are ground fresh.

    Read our full Dosa Place review — scored 87/100 in our Best Indian Food in San Diego with pros, cons and what to order.

    Local tip: Order the ghee roast dosa — the extra dollar buys a much better crust.

    Surati Farsan Mart

    Mira Mesa
    Order: Pav bhaji, dhokla, chaat$10–18

    The county's best Gujarati snacks and chaat counter.

    Surati is a snack shop first and restaurant second. Chaat comes together fast and correctly, dhokla is steamed rather than sitting, and the pav bhaji is the strongest hot order.

    Read our full Surati Farsan Mart review — scored 86/100 in our Best Indian Food in San Diego with pros, cons and what to order.

    Local tip: Buy sweets to go — the mithai case is better than the restaurant menu suggests.

    Tandoori Hut

    Mira Mesa
    Order: Butter chicken, saag paneer$13–21

    A neighborhood standby that never has an off night.

    Tandoori Hut does not try to reinvent anything. Butter chicken is balanced rather than sugary, saag has real texture, and the bread comes out hot. It is the definition of a dependable weeknight order.

    Local tip: Takeout portions are large enough to split across two meals.
