Apna Indian Kitchen

Let take you on a journey to culinary nirvana. Specializing in Northern Indian and Mughlai Food.

At Apna, we present our interpretation of the recipes that were handed down in our family and the ones that were perfected in our kitchens.

We believe that Indian cooking is based on three major factors: choice of ingredients, their proportions and quantities, and most importantly, the timing of adding ingredients during cooking.

Apna Indian Kitchen is one of the indian restaurants listed in Santa Barbara, California. The business is registered at 718 State St, Santa Barbara, CA 93101; use this page to check its hours, phone number and Google rating before you make the trip.

Portion sizes and pricing swing widely across this group, from a $10 lunch bowl to a multi-course tasting menu at an upscale sushi counter, so checking recent reviews and photos is more useful than the price range alone. In Santa Barbara, dinner reservations for popular izakaya, hot pot and Korean BBQ spots fill up on Friday and Saturday nights, so booking ahead or arriving at opening is worth it. Many restaurants across California run daily lunch specials on weekdays that are not listed on the dinner menu, so it is worth asking. Halal, vegetarian and gluten-free options vary a lot by kitchen; call ahead if you have a dietary restriction rather than assuming the menu will note it.

Hours in the United States do change around federal holidays and long weekends, so a quick call before a special trip is sensible.
