Visited this restaurant again in November 2025. Food and service are exceptional. Taking away one star as the restroom was not clean.

Location: Culver City. This place serves Indian vegetarian food. Don’t miss the vegetable biriyani. Idli and dosa tasted great. Coconut Chutney tasted authentic South Indian. This place gets crowded during peak hours. You may need to add hours to find parking . Don’t miss!!“

“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!“

“My friends and I loved our experience at Baar Baar. Unfortunately it was raining like crazy on the day we had reservations for but that didn't stop us. We arrived to a rather empty restaurant (probably due to the rain). Staff took care of us right away seating us and explaining the menu. We had heard that they're known for their cocktails so we each ordered a different one. All of them were really good and I can see why people say their cocktails are good. The bar is also really impressive if you just wanted to come for a drink. All the cocktails are named after famous Indian movies which was really cute. For the food, we opted into the prix fixe menu (all parties at your table must participate) but it was perfect because the menu had a lot of their most popular items that we would've wanted to order and try anyways. We did end up ordering 2 extra items - the lamp chops as well as the jalapeno cheese naan. It ended up being more than enough food but everything was so good and we were so happy to try it all. The puri puri amuse bouche was SO GOOD! The avocado bhel appetizer dish was also surprisingly good. The traditional butter chicken with the saffron rice was classic but delicious and I loved the seabass fish as well as the jalapeno cheese stuffed naan. I normally don't care for beans but I can see why the Black Dairy Dal is $15!! It was so flavorful and a must get. Both the dessert options (Gulab jamun cheesecake and Strawberry Cassata) were yummy too. Not too sweet for both.“

“This is real authentic food from India Delhi. The food is so delicious! This is the most delicious Indian food I've had in LA. The people who are running the place are real Indian people from Delhi. The amount is very generous and the price is very affordable. It's my new favorite spot. I highly recommend!!!“

“The food at Star of India is excellent. They have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and standard items, all worth trying. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful.“

“Our first time in La, We choose this restaurant the food, service and atmosphere was amazing. The buffet had more options then we expected. Anyone can eat, the spice level and the flavors were so perfect. We were so happy that we could find a good south Indian restaurants. People there were so down to earth. Will surely come in anytime we visit again.“

“This was seriously the best customer service experience ever! The food was incredible I got the chicken tikka masala with rosemary naan which I’ve never had rosemary naan and it’s a new staple. The staff was so kind they gave me the crispy yogurt puffs to start which were so unique and little “flavour bombs” they threw in an order of rice and brought me a chai and rice pudding for dessert as well INCREDIBLE EXPERIENCE will 10000000% be back“

“Was looking for a good Indian place in Los Angeles and came across Flavor of India. It had great reviews so we gave it a try. It is located in Hollywood right off of Sunset and Hayworth. Plenty of inside parking available with 2hour validation. We tried the lunch all you can eat for 24$ a person and were not disappointed. It was like a flavor sampler of many curries with rice, garlic naan and even a dosa. The flavors were great, amazing value, and we were more than satisfied. Highly recommend!“

“Highly recommend the Masala Paneer!!! The rich buttery sauce is by far the most flavorful I have ever had! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“Eat there, now. You will not regret it. We shared the sampler platter and that was the biggest samosa ever. We also shared the chicken quesadilla which happened to be my favorite for the day. Also had chicken & lamb tacos, gulab jamun, and some rice pudding to go. Everything is flavorful, and the service could not be better! We can't wait to try their Agra Tandoori location in Tarzana!!“

“First time eating Indian food. The meal was excellent! The service was excellent! We will be going back.“

“yes great service. their food is always cooked at time of ordering. everything is fresh!“

“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.“

“Excelente food and service. Big portions. You won’t leave hungry from here for sure…“

“I love this place. Service and food are great. Ravi used to live in England so I think that makes his food the closest to "back home" for me. Chicken Tikka Masala is so creamy.“

“The food at this place is absolutely amazing and a true delicacy. I had the chicken with red tomato sauce along with the NAM garlic bread. I was impressed with not only the cleanliness of the place but with the amazing food and great service. This place does not disappoint! Enjoy friends!!“

“Awesome atmosphere, service & food. The staff is excellent and you are given plenty of time to relax.“

“Great Indian food, and I love the weekly buffet. Sundays, it comes with champagne, if you ask for it. Wide variety of choices. Consistently tasty. Staff is friendly and attentive. Very clean, and comfortable.“

“Very good. I got the okra dish. I loved the flavors and the portion. I got 2 meals out of it from the leftovers.

I also got the gobi manchurian, I am a wimp with spice so next time instead of medium I would go with mild. Otherwise very good. Reheats in the air fryer nicely“

“Really yummy food 🥘 love it 😊 and grate Castmer service 👍“

“I love Indian and have had tons in my life. This is hands down the best place. Their flavor profile is sophisticated and layered, the food here is top quality and it's my favorite Indian restaurant ever. After having their tikka masala I can't be satisfied with any other. Their saag and curries are also excellent. The chicken they use is whatever so I always go for fish. The flavor here is truly magnificent, I come here whenever I'm in the area. Definitely a must go for everyone.“

“Really tasty Indian food with a mainly vegetarian menu, cooked and served by some very nice folks. Service was attentive and the kitchen timing was good. The outdoor dining option allows you to take in the local Venice wackiness, which adds to the experience.“

“This is the second time I have ordered from this restaurant, and the Vizayawada biryani is absolutely delicious. You won't find another place in Los Angeles that serves biryani with such an authentic and flavorful taste. My suggestion would be to make the biryani spicier and add a bit more sauce for an even richer flavor.“

“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!“

“Delicious! I like just the right spice and just the right seasoning. I’ve tried other places nearby and usually it can be kind of greasy after taste. This food is filling for the right price and cooked just right without feeling oily afterwards.“

“Best curry I have had in LA in 30 years Chef is English“

“Perfect Indian quality food“

“Food was delicious and great service. it was my husband's first time having Indian food and he loved it as well.“

“Delicious! Great Indian food and great tikka masala burrito!“

“Gill's is so underrated. We love this place so much!! They have a lunch buffet that i've yet to try, but we've ordered dinner before. The chicken tikka masala is so delicious along with the chicken tikka and garlic naan!! We order so much food, and it's always so much cheaper than if we went anywhere else (I have gone elsewhere - those places are expensive and not as tasty)“

“The best Indian food in the valley and the sweetest family-owned restaurant too! So happy they are in literal walking distance from my house and they are STILL OPEN for take-out and delivery during these quarantine times. I've been ordering from them since I moved to the area and they truly have such high-quality dishes. They combine the different levels of spiciness without sacrificing flavor and I'll always order from them even if I move away from this area. Every dish my house orders from there are delicious in their own way, some order extra hot while some just order medium and all of the dishes are filled with flavor. I can't say enough great things about this lovely place and the people running it. Their consistency, quality, and hospitality is what keeps me coming back, weekly :) Love them so much I'm trying to find all the review sites to post about them.“

“Excellent food!!“

“nice people, nice food, give us good mango dessert too, not to mention fast service❤“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Best place ever“
