Reviews by the General Public

Consistently delicious, 10/30/2009
Reviewer: Nicolas from Santa Barbara, CA
I have eaten at Good Karma on numerous occasions and I have yet to be disappointed. I have had several different types of curry; Lentil, Chickpea, Fish and today, Veggie with tofu. I have also enjoyed their flat bread and various types of rice as well. The service has always been polite, friendly and very quick. I will continue to return here as long as I live in Santa Barbara.
Yummy curry & Paratha + vegan options :)
Reviewer: Rachael Robinson from SB
The best is the paratha, they use a special recipe from South Africa. It is good to use as a side at home, with salad, soup, I even have it with jam in the morning. The curry I get is very good, it is made with peas, potatoes, and a tomato gravy. It is spicy, so be ready! There is always an intersting array of international beverages to choose from. The family who runs the establishment is very nice, they are always open to suggestions, and really strive to provide a communiuty atmosphere. You can pick up interesting publications such as LA Yogi, Yogi Times, and Jewish Weekly.

Good food...when they have it...
Reviewer: Nancy from Santa Barbara, CA
I had heard good things about Good Karma and decided to come for lunch with some friends. While their menu was fairly small, I was looking forward to ordering a few dishes to share... however, they were out of every dish except the lentil curry and the spinach and tofu. No rice, no sides, nothing else but the lentil curry and the spinach. While the lentil curry was very tasty, the spinach tasted like baby food - soupy flavorless pureed mush. While I might give Good Karma another try, it will definitely be for their selection of Indian spices and groceries rather than their food.
Great lunch to go
Reviewer: Jon Sullivan from Santa Barbara, CA
This place has some of the best curry in town. Order an extra paratha and you'll be happy. I try to go at least once a week. Just call ahead and ask what's available, and place your order. Otherwise have a few extra minutes to relax and enjoy the sunshine outside.
A Rare Treat for Indian Food Lovers
Reviewer: Jeff & Sharron Adams from Santa Barbara, CA
This is a rare opportunity to sample Indian food with a South African influence and quite distinctive flavors. Each curry from their short list of daily offerings is well-prepared and always delicious. We would not hesitate to recommend that you try it if you haven't already. Suresh and Shelly are always friendly and helpful, but, be prepared for a 15-minute wait. You can take away the food to eat for lunch or reheat it for dinner. The shop has many interesting food items and the best selection in Santa Barbara of Indian groceries at reasonable prices.
I think very good your shop.

Reviewer: Nicole from Santa Barbara, CA
It is so nice to go into a store where the people who own it and work there are friendly every time you see them. The parathas are amazing and the Indian dishes are always fresh and delicious. They certainly do have good karma! Thanks Shelly and Saresh.

Reviewer: Selly from Santa Barbara, Ca
This is the best neighborhood market in town! It's so clean and Sarush is always nice and welcoming behind the counter. The selection of items is amazing, they carry anything you could ever need. Everything from wine and incense to Mace and fingernail clippers. The deli food is great as well. Keep up the good work Sarush! You're the best!

Best corner market and Deli in SB
Reviewer: Christina from Santa Barbara, CA
This place is the best! The service is wonderful, and when you walk in, its like no other corner market in town. The music is hypnotic, and they have the best veriety of inscense in town. Most of the items are from South Africa or India, and they carry everyday corner market type items, as well as the exotic. Try their curries, they are yummy and very fresh! Not enough stars on here to rate this place.
