“Great place! Warm and welcoming host! Perfect Indian food taste.... Highly recommend!! If You are lucky, you may see some celebrities having food next to you (which happened with us) !Note: they have parking lot at the back of the restaurant.“

“If we don’t like a place we say so. We recommend this restaurant. Friendly. Pleasant helpful staff, nice food, reasonable prices especially the wine. Lots of street parking. Will return.“

“Loved the food here! I normally don't like Indian food (mainly curry) but these dishes made me change my mind. The rice and chicken combo were delicious especially when mixing them together. The garlic naan bread was also made fresh and came with 4 large pieces. These dishes are definitely shareable. The service was great. The server was not that talkative but came to check on us a few times. It's also decorated nicely and gave me an Indian vibe. Will be back!“

“Great, family-owned place with delicious, authentic Indian comfort food at reasonable prices (3 entrees, shareable appetizer, Naan, drinks, and 20+% tip for <$85). Servers were attentive, owners greeted everyone, atmosphere was welcoming.“

“Just adding my praise to the rest! Food is delicious. Our order: Vegetable Samosa Tikka Masala with chicken Chana Masala Side of Rice Side of Green Chutney Garlic Naan Mango Lassi Masala Chai My girlfriend and I wiped the Tikka Masala clean off the bowl. No joke. Spot is next to the liquor store. Parking across the alley, but it looks like people order to-go quite a bit. Sorry, no pics because we devoured the food.“

“Everyone who gives off a bad rating to this place has either no sense of respect or of good taste in a good place because this place is to die for. I personally fell in love with the Chicken Tikka Masala and it's the only thing I focus on there aside from their other amazing foods that have perfect spices mixes and so much flavor in all!! I've ordered there so much that the waiters don't even have to ask me what I want!! I've gone to so many other Indian restaurants before but this one beats every single one! Trust me when I say this place is THE BEST and will leave you wanting a food coma!!! ???? Been going for years and it is still my favorite food ever! Converted from being a Italian food lover to an Indian food OBSESSER!!“

“awesome family owned Indian restaurant very nice peopleI had the tikka masala and the chicken, korma rice, and with non-the two item combo come on guys don't go waste your money On some big franchise chain come here these people really care what they're doing here. They're so proud of their food, and they will should be at so freaking. It's so nice when you go to Indian restaurants one person have to drop over $40-$50. Sometimes we are at work. We eat Indian food and go back to work. That's curry zones I love curry this is my eighth It was an accident, but I don't come here by accident. I come here cause it's fantastic.“

“really enjoyed the food and the staff were super friendly. I'll be going back for sure!!“

“I’ve looked Tikka Masala ever since I was a kid and eating at this place has just made my love for the food even better. I tried the Panner Tikka Masala with naan and I was happy with the food. It was fresh and hot! The naan was also hot and freshly cooked which made the meal completely better. I also ordered Shrimp Tikka which is something completely new to me and I loved it. It tastes like a kebab and very crispy. Great Customer Service! Lots of dishes to try from the menu. Check it out!“

“Lovely lovely restaurant. All the food was excellent, the momos were yummy, and the butter paneer and jackfruit curry were standouts. The service was excellent and Tara herself is a very sweet lady. Will definitely come back here to try lunch.“

“A rating for health inspection, which is hard to get when you have a buffet.This is a little out of the way, but I am WOWed.I saw the sign for 11.99 buffet with 30 items to choose from. So, I obviously thought, probably garbage, but for the price, I'll try it.I walked in and was immediately greeted by the host. He seated me right away, brought me water, and kept it flowing.Key things I loved right off the bat. Naan and Garlic Naan are served as part of the meal. Chai is also served as part of the meal.At most places they will give you water, but no other options unless the price has gone up for a weekend style buffet. Also most places will give you Naan but if you want garlic it costs extra.So, we were already off to a better than 2 star rating.Now the buffet spread. Everything was clearly labeled.One other thing I liked is they kept the vegetarian dishes on one side and the meat dishes on the other, as to not mingle the foods by accident. My friend had a hay day about that one time we went to go eat.I tried a little of everything.I have to say the only thong I wasn't super impressed by was the chicken curry rice option. The flavor was a little on the bland side and it was a bit oily.Otherwise everything was fantastic.Top Dishes:The Eggplant and the Chiken Tiki MasalaActually I'll say the Chicken Tiki was fantastic. Most places use mostly milk, yogurt, water, with spices and a little sugar to make this happen and you can tell its liquidy instead of thick and rich.This was yogurt all the way with a hint of milk to make it slightly less thick. The seasoning on the chicken with the rich creamy sauce come into your mouth and sets off those feel good neurons which make you say, "More please!".There are 4 types of dessert and don't miss the orange carrot puree one lingering in the back, because it is quite good.I'd expect a buffet like this to be around $16.99 or higher. Exceptional quality and service.If the map says 3 miles away... drive the 3 miles!“

“one place uou can't ho wrong. Finally Indian fine cuisine at it's BEST. I highly recommend.“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

“Store owner is great. Cheap groceries and has everything you'd need to make a last minute meal or if you're missing an ingredient which I've needed on occasion lol. I'm super excited that I won't have to drive far and it's open late. Definitely recommend!“

“good food, friendly service, very affordable.“

“We checked out this spot for the first time, and it was awesome! Their North Indian Punjabi food is amazing, and their prices are reasonable. We opted for a combo with three veg options, and let me tell you, each curry was bursting with flavor. It's got that spicy kick, but it's incredibly tasty. This place might not be fancy, but they've got everything from street food to Indian sweets and combo specials. Plus, they serve up some homemade Indian snacks too. We're definitely going back for more. If you're a fan of North Indian cuisine, this spot is a must-try!“

“I love this place as it serves vegetarian food and when you order, they make it fresh and it is served to you piping hot, just like Indian food should be served. My favorite is the Aloo Paratha, Daal Makhani, the Pindi Chana. My wife loves the exotic Makke Ki roti and sarson ka saag, Corn Roti, and Mustard Gravy although I am not a big fan of that. The ambiance could be better especially when you want to take guests and visitors to eat, and so one star minus for that. They give out free hot Indian tea which could be heavy on te sugar but on cold days it is wonderful. We usually order food and take away and the quantity is so generous that it lasts at least three means. totally worth the money and a must visit if you are in Canoga Park“

“I have eaten at Flavor of India several times and did so very recently with a friend. This place has amazing food and service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is excellent and I strongly recommend them. The atmosphere is great too!“

“Been coming to this place for about 2 years and it’s some of the best Indian food you can get in the valley! Prices are great, lassi’s are refreshing and the atmosphere is awesome! Staff is very helpful and always coming by to check on you! Definitely check this place out!“

“The best Indian food in the area. By locals for locals“

“New Owners, all the delights of the original menu, and they're adding NEW stuff too! I've been coming here since I was a kid. Seekh kabob roll is my go to with the sides of chutney. Their chicken lunch special is great price if you're looking for a big portion meal. Their combo plates are good portions. Mango Lassi and OG chai. Naan is baked fresh in a clay oven. And man I tried the chicken tikka BBQ the other day it was sooooo juicy and full of flavor. Theres a reason this joint has been around for 3 decades“

“Great food and a great staff that will give you good recommendations“

“Delicious food and friendly staff. Most likely family owned and run.“

“The food was amazing and authentic. The service was beyond exceptional. Would definitely recommend!!!“

“Best Indian food in the city. From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with a warm welcome and ushered into a world of tantalizing aromas and exquisite flavors. The menu is a masterpiece, offering a wide selection of traditional Indian dishes that are prepared with the utmost care and attention to detail. Each dish is a work of art, with flavors that dance on your palate and leave you craving more. A must-visit for anyone looking for the best Indian restaurant in the Culver City vicinity.“

“Best Indian food in la“

“I've been going for years. Food is consistently good, and I love being able to point and pick dishes based on how they "look" vs a name. Many vegetarian and vegan choices that change daily. They have also dosas and bhatura bread freshly made.The service is "eh?" Most of the guys are not too friendly and perhaps it's a "we pretend to work and they pretend to pay us" scenario, I don't know. The older guy will at least offer a smile. The place is pretty dumpy and hasn't been redone in many years but that doesn't bother me. The food doesn't seem all that hot either? At the hospital there's a guy with a thermometer checking the temps of the trays in the cafeteria, but not so much here.Still, if that doesn't bother you, there's a world of reasonably-priced delicious Indian veg food here that you should really try.“

“What a fantastic restaurant. Not surprising that lots of people there drove from far away to eat. So good!“

“The food is exceptional! Very well prepared and you can chose among many menu options. They always takes care to offer the best quality! I highly recommend this place.“

“Great sanctified Prasadam offered to the lordships“

“Great twist on classic Indian fare“
