Naan Stop

Classy good Taro bubble tea kept me visiting them 3 times in a day.. Chanced upon their Saag paneer and just could not stop eating. Tried the chicken tikka masala and I was done for the day.. Good wholesome food, carried forward by an experienced food centric family. UCSB's favorite hangout for a good hearty meal..

ignore the haters. this is as good as it gets in IV. the food is affordable and they give great portions! i highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and saag paneer. the thai tea is also very delicious, goes well with the meals. dine in is not the best here as it's a small space, so you're better off doing take out.

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!

Great food with a friendly owner. The restaurant was clean and they had seating outside in the sun. I had the spinach paneer and the most delicious eggplant 🍆

Some of the best Indian food I've ever had, and the Boba drinks are great too!

Only Go when the older gentleman is working the front. This old lady just gave me 3 small bits of chicken for $10. I’ve had 10 times better service with the older gentleman, please don’t let that lady serve anymore.

Our Daughter recently started at UCSB,and I think the first food she found was Naan Stop.Wow am I so glad fate shined upon her and led her to Naan Stop.The food here is incredibly tastey.She brought our family here on Friday and showed us what she found.First off...Im loving it.So tastey. Our daughter has come here several times and I think the owner has been very kind to her.He has given her samples,even when she did not ask,I think in an attempt to have happy customers,and perhaps try and give her some new tastes,which can be found in indian food. There were four of us that sat down.It has about six tables inside the restaurant.There is parking behind the restaurant.If you pull in and park to the right,that seems to be a community center parking,with a polite and active patrol gaurd,which said I think technically the stuff on the right is community center parking.So he did say behind the back entrance there is parking.Ok parking aside...The FOOD!!! Three of us ordered chicken of the day,and our ucsb daughter ordered chicken ticka masala with an extra side of curry sauce...which might have been chicken of the day sauce. The food was ready pretty quick really.The food came in circular containers approximately 4 inches circular by 3 inches tall.Inside I found tender chunks of curry chicken with a very flavorful curry sauce over basmati rice. With my first bite,I knew this guy made a legit product.It was warm,fresh and flavorful.The meals were served with Naan Bread with butter and herbs wrapped in tinfoil served on the table.We realized our daughters smart move with extra curry sauce,as that fire warmed garlicky toastey Naan Bread dipped in any of the items such as Chicken Tikka Masala or Chicken Of The Day,is pure Nirvana...and that is no joke.The owner may or may not have sensed that his latest new customer,had now also brought her family here,but he brought out a WHOLE BUNCH of that toastey,garlicy,buttery Naan Bread to us free of charge.It was so welcomed by our family,as it was warm and crunchy and dripping with butter and herbs....wow that was some tastey eats. GREAT JOB NAAN STOP. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone who likes Indian food,or would like to try it. Just go there and play it out.It is good food.

I ordered the chicken tikka masala rice bowl. It wasn't creamy or sweet enough, but it was a good deal for the price. They also sell boba tea here, although I didn't try it. The naan was too oily. Unfortunately, this is the only Indian restaurant nearby.

The food here is amazing and so is their boba tea!! I got
The plate with vegetable white rice, spicy coconut chicken curry and the chicken masala. Everything was good and you can taste the many spices they use in the food. I also ordered a jasmine milk tea with boba which I drank like nothing because it tasted so fresh. The staff who took my order was super friendly as well. I'm definitely going back this week again to get their food.

Please try the new “chicken of the day” 👌🏻🥰 perfect after Gym 💪
