Aabha Indian Cuisine 3690 The Barnyard, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA 93923

"If you’re looking for a great LUNCH SPOT, this is the place. They have all you can eat buffet that is set up for Lunch time. Such a great and budget friendly way to introduce yourself to new dishes. Although the trick is to show up right when they open if you want the freshest and best. Highly recommend the butter chicken curry, rice and mango pudding. I do recommend ordering their Mango Lassi(not included with buffet ). Although you do get a selection of sodas/mimosa included with the buffet meal at no additional charge. Make sure to order some Naan as it’s not included with buffet. I enjoy the garlic and original naan."

"I wasn't very impressed by the food (service was good , loved how polite the staff were), it could be because it was Christmas Eve hence the short staffing. The taste was adequate (but not bad i must add), should be good for people who haven't eaten Indian food for a while. What compelled me most (and made me come write this review)was the senior English guy who was playing Sitar at the restaurant, such a sweet soul! His manners, voice and humble attitude really touched my heart. I wish him all the best for his future and to the restaurant team too!"

"After taking in the 17-mile Scenic Drive through Pebble Beach we drove in to Carmel to this amazing gem at The Barnyard. Beautiful inside, great atmosphere. I ordered the Cauliflower-Turmeric soup, a bonus that it's dairy free and it was so silky smooth and delicious. Perfect for a drizzly foggy evening. I also ordered the Chili-Garlic tofu tandoor which the server warned me was very spicy. He was right- it was fiery, fragrant and delicious alongside a generous helping of coconut rice. It also came with vegetables that unfortunately were bland and uninteresting but don't let that stop you. We left most of one piece only because we were stuffed. We also had the vegetable coconut curry, saucy, flavorful and delicious and a perfect naan. We're in town for Rennsport 7 at Laguna Seca so we won't be back but I would be a regular here if I lived in the area. Go visit them!"

"Must try place!! The ambience, the service, the food all gets 5 stars! We were so hungry after skydiving at Monterey, we found this place and we hogged up the food so fast. Heavenly, indulging, awesomeness!"

"Food was delicious though on a bit pricey side. The lady serving us was very nice. We ordered Samosa, Tandoori momo, butter cilantro naan, lamb rogan josh, chicken biryani, Mango lassi. Everything was just perfect to our taste!"
