Niki's is an Indian restaurant in Santa Ana, near Tustin. The menu at this tiny lunch room is limited: combo plates consisting of chicken (prepared tikka, shahi, or curry style), rice, naan and whatever two vegetables are available that day. Snacks (greaseless samosas, garlic naan so potent you can see the garlic shavings smeared across the naan's blackened ridges) abound, but your focus should stay on patronizing Niki's long enough to try every veggie/meat combination possible.
No epic buffets or rare dosas at Niki's, a shopping-center dive near where Santa Ana and Tustin merge, just massive piles of rice with your choice of meats, a cup of raita and naan. It keeps the tandoor burning all day, so stick with the meats: juicy, ruddy tandoori chicken; lamb; and even the occasional curry, whipped out within minutes and before you pay. Niki's is everything fast food should be: unpretentious but good; cheap but plentiful; and fast, fast, fast. More »
