Cardamom - Glendale

What a lovely establishment! Delicious, spice-rich food with incredible service (shout out to Mr. Nasir for the warm welcome and wonderful customer service! . In all, we had their vegetable samosas, zafron pilau rice, peshwari naan, chicken butter makhani, fish coconut meen molee, saag paneer, and mango lassi for drinks. The samosas: crispy exterior, piping hot and potatoey interior with flavorful spice, coupled with that amazing date and tamarind chutney! No words. True to their name, they don't skimp out on the cardamom, which wonderfully perfumes the zafron rice. Although heads up, make sure to search through the rice and pick out the cardamom pods or you're going to be punched in the face with spice intensity (speaking from experience... . My friend and I love spicy, so we requested just shy of their spiciest level for all three of our main dishes. That peshwari naan really heightened the experience with the curries, with its sweet and nutty filling counterbalancing the spicy and rich curries. As for the curries, creamy and flavorful. The fish was perfectly tender, and man, there's just something about coconut milk that just hits DIFFERENT with curries (in layman's terms, goes very well together . That saag paneer though: there's a reason why Indian cuisine specializes in vegetarian food. That's all I have to say. And the perfect accompaniment to all this rich, spice flavor bombs is an incredibly refreshing, smooth mango lassi. To conclude: just go, you'll enjoy your time there. It's a good amount of food, my friend and I were stuffed and had leftovers to spare. In terms of pricing, I would say that it's on the lower-midrange. We're definitely going back and trying out more from their diverse menu.

So good! We got the Lamb Korma, Chicken Biryani, Chicken Tikka, Vegetable Samosa, and Garlic Naan. Every single dish is perfect, the flavors are amazing.

Food was excellent and the owner was extremely kind. I came with a friend who is local to Montrose, and the location is so cute! We sat outside so we could enjoy the nice weather, and we had a lovely dinner here. Definitely coming back again!

Cardamom is my new favorite place in Montose! I actually had a dream about their Butter Chicken, it was so delicious! The service was outstanding! The ambiance is fun and energetic. I have eaten there twice this week! They welcomed our large party on Saturday night. We ordered a variety of dishes, including the dreamy Butter Chicken and Shrimp Curry. It was a festive evening! Today, I met a friend there for lunch and ordered the Butter Chicken Lunch Special! What a deal! Thank you to the charming staff for our lovely lunch!

This place is delicious! The food is amazing and really gives you that homemade feel. Everything came out hot, fresh and fast. The staff is also very sweet and very accommodating.
