Great food for most parts (except the crispy cauliflower, which tasted like orange chicken from Panda Express), and attentive although laid back service. Would highly recommend the Chicken Tandoori!! A little pricey for the portion and atmosphere, but the taste made up for it.

I thought the food was very good, but not sure it was worth the price. Nevertheless, the crispy cauliflower was really good as was the malai Kebab (chicken with a really flavorful lime sauce. The butter chicken and dal Makhni were solid. The tandori naan was fine.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bibi Ji, a popular Indian restaurant, and I am still dreaming about the delightful flavors that linger on my taste buds. From the moment I stepped into the vibrantly decorated venue, I knew I was about to embark on a culinary adventure.

The food is good and the atmosphere is great. The service is … okay. The thing is, the amount of food, which is not tasty enough, does not deserve the price. And they do not accept Apple Pay, which is frustrating. Would never come again.

The food was good but extremely overpriced. They’re charging for hot sauce. Extensive wine list and almost no beers, not even special Indian beers. Asked for some salt and pepper, didn’t have pepper. This place needs better management and a new menu. The naan was excellent though. The apps were just ok.

I am originally from Vail, Colorado, and I cannot find a decent, let alone existing Indian restaurant. When I walked in Bibi Ji I was expecting a nice meal. What I got was so much more. The food was amazing and I couldn’t get enough of their naans. The whole place smelled of spices, and the service was amazing!

We make it a point to have a meal at Bibi Ji whenever we are visiting Santa Barbara. Food is that tasty.

This restaurant has exceptional and unique indian food. The flavors are beautifully combined and the meals are served hot. The service was great. The vibe is a bit hipster and the music a bit loud for me but I would go backagain for sure.

First Indian food in Santa Barbara so can’t comment on the relative ranking yet. Service was above average and food was solid. I was told not to miss the cauliflower and butter chicken and both did not disappoint. Garlic naan was average as it could have used some more ghee and garlic. Wine selection was impressive if you are looking for a large selection of central coast organic wines.
