The Red Dot Vegetarian Kitchen - Frazier Park, California

If you are planning to dine at this establishment, it's important to note that the wait for your meal may range from 30 minutes to up to 2 hours. However, the staff thoughtfully informs guests about the wait time in advance, so there are no surprises. If you're in a rush, fast food options like Wendy's and Jack in the Box are conveniently located nearby along the I-5.

That said, if you are not in a hurry, I wholeheartedly recommend taking the time to dine here. The ambiance is warm and inviting, with a cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The staff goes above and beyond to provide an exceptional dining experience. Their friendliness and attentiveness create a welcoming environment that enhances the overall experience.

Now, let's talk about the food—absolutely phenomenal. Every dish is an extraordinary combination of fresh, high-quality ingredients, meticulously prepared and presented. The flavors are bold, perfectly balanced, and nothing short of spectacular. It's clear that a great deal of care and expertise goes into every meal. I only wish I had more time to explore the full menu, as I can confidently say I’ll be returning to try even more of their offerings.

Overall, this place is well worth the wait. The remarkable food quality and outstanding customer service make it a dining experience you won’t regret.

Holy moly. Delicious!! Highly recommend. The vegan French toast was out of this world.
Staff was incredibly friendly and atmosphere was very peaceful.
Not a quick place to eat - everything is made from scratch per order so it takes a long time, especially if there is a crowd. Worth the wait!

It was 8:40 PM, and we were on a long drive through California, stopping for gas in a small town. Hungry and with limited vegetarian options close to 9 PM, we stumbled upon this restaurant nearby. We can’t express how lucky we were to find it.

Calling ahead, we discovered they were about to close for the day, but the kind staff graciously agreed to stay open for us. They waited until we arrived and gave us plenty of time to enjoy our meal without any rush—a level of hospitality you rarely find.

We ordered aloo paratha and dal, and both were outstanding. The food’s quality and quantity were impeccable, and the flavors matched traditional Indian cuisine so authentically. It’s the kind of meal that leaves you feeling energized and satisfied—unlike the heaviness of fast food options like burgers or pizza.

What made the experience even more special was the warm and friendly staff. They indulged us in small talk, making the atmosphere feel welcoming and personal.

Whether you’re a local or just passing through, I urge you to visit this place. It’s a true hidden gem for anyone looking to experience the best of vegetarian Indian cuisine.

Warm, cozy, and very relaxing atmosphere. Samosa is the best! Recommended for everyone to visit if they have some time.

We ordered the veg thali and the smoked eggplant. Both were great. Simple, yet flavorful food. Totally worth that 10mins drive off I-5, the perfect hidden gem.

One of my favorite places ever! If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

We have visited this restaurant about 5 times on our way to LA. This place is one of the reasons why I think Google reviews should exist. The place is small and hidden in a forest (will need a 5 minute detour), but once you find it, you will not regret.

Tons of vegan and vegetarian options. The places has about 6 tables, so I would recommend calling them in advance and placing an order. They make everything from scratch. The staff is warm and friendly.

The pictures below are all vegan food. The chicken tikka masala curry and buckwheat pancake is a must try. They also have multiple coffees and seasonal drinks. We went during Christmas, so it was decorated very well.

My husband and I were staying in PMC, and while searching for vegetarian food options, we discovered The Red Dot. We are so glad we did! We drove 20 minutes to Frazier Park, and it was totally worth it.

First, I want to mention that due to an accident, they had to cut the power. We can’t imagine how difficult it must have been to cook without full lighting in the restaurant. Yet, they somehow managed to make it work by using lamps to keep the place open. To me, this shows their dedication and commitment.

The service was friendly, and everyone was cordial and welcoming! I can’t even begin to describe how delicious the food was!

This has quickly become one of our favorite spots in the area, and we will definitely be back soon.

Thank you for the wonderful experience!

It can be difficult to find good food on your journey down the grapevine. The Red Dot will make you happy and grateful that the winding road took you through this part of California! This place is an absolute gem. Well worth the 4 minute detour from the highway! The food was spectacular-you simply can’t go wrong. Healthy, hearty, and bursting with flavor, everything we had was exceptionally delicious. The wait can be long so call and order ahead, they’ll have it ready for you when you arrive. Don’t expect anything fancy from the atmosphere, though the decor is genuine, authentic and warm: a mixture of traditional Indian decor with American seasonal trinkets and lots of interesting house plants nursing their way through the winter season. The staff is so kind and the food is clearly prepared with all the love and care they describe on their website. Worth a stop on your way in or out of LA!
