One of the cool things about California Chutney is they make their own Naan bread for each order. The specially made Tandoor Oven turns out deliciously light taco-sized Naan while you wait! One of the most popular menu items is something they call a “Cali Naan”. My favorite is to have the Tandoori Chicken on a bed of lettuce and add mango Ginger Chutney (made fresh on the premises!) with three or four other veggies for flavor & crunch!

The Artisan Chutneys are all delicious : ) You order what you would like with your meal, but there is also a Chutney Bar where you can get more of your favorite as you would like. The Chutneys are all custom blends – yum!
