The food was excellent, nice selection and the price was very reasonable. I was worried after reading some of the reviews where the dinner patrons complained about service...not so at lunch. Friendly staff, attentive and perfect for either a business or casual lunch. Will definitely go back! Pros: Lunch Buffet

We have frequented the India Cook House for the past ten years. Their prices are fair. We love the food! We are ALWAYS treated with the most dignity and respect. In fact, during out last visit there, we were having a wonderful time with friends that we forgot all about time - when we looked up the restaurant had closed - but no one ushered us out - but thanked us for being there. We would recommend the India Cook House to our family and our Indian friends.

My friend got severe stomach upset after taking food here. Doctor told it is due to awful food. Also the customer service is bad .. Owner of the restaurant passed racial comments on us. I advise the US citizens not to attend this restaurant.

I have not seen bad restaurant like this one. Owner of this resutarant is Foul-mouthed (rude) person and behaves very badly with customers. In spite of my closed friends bad comments about this restaurant I visited this place and experienced the same treatment. He treats customers like beggars. So it is your choice if you still want to have food here. I felt being hungry is much better than taking food in this restaurant. :(( Try some other Indian restaurant in Irvine area.

We stopped by for dinner last Friday. We were waiting for ordered food for about 50 minutes. People at the neighbor table were waiting for about an hour. When we complained about service we received unethical comments about our nationality from waiters. When food eventually arrived it was good, but it does not taste the same tandoori as in other Indian restaurants, it tasted more like boiled chicken. At the end the abnoxious waiter brought the bill and said that we had to write a 20% tip. This was unbelievable. There are plenty of good India restaurants in the area, we definetely will never return to this one. Pros: Delicious Naan and interesting Mango Chutney Cons: Worst Customer Service ever, long wait

We ordered takeout and really enjoyed the chicken tikka masala and very good naan bread. There are a couple of other Indian joints in Irvine that are more expensive, but this one is the best value for the quality of food you get. Totally recommended.

This place is packed during its lunch buffet! The food is no frills, standard indian fare - but nothing too spectacular. The tandoori chicken, fish tikkas and lamb curry are my favorites. I also like the mango lassi at this place. The service is quite ordinary. If you're looking for a good ambience and decor, look elsewhere - I found more than once that the brand new tablecloths have stains on them.

Good place for standard moghlai indian food, no surprises, your basic chole, saag paneer etc. Naan is crisp and tasty, buffet is again standard but good quality.
