“Updated Dec 02 2025.
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!!“

“The staff was very friendly and provided good service. The food was delicious. My only complaint was that the ambient music started at a reasonable volume and progressively got louder and louder to the point where I nearly had to yell across the table. For the record, we were seated at 6 PM and finished at 7:30 PM“

“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!“

“Owners, Staff and overall teamwork has a sync. It won’t go wrong. Also if you know indian movies, their cocktail menu is worth exploring whether you drink or not!! They should try for Michelin Star / Michelin recommended restaurants.
Exceptional service.“

“Indian and Mexican fusion is an incredible innovation. We got two burritos, the appetizer sampler, roti, paratha, a mango lassi, and a tea and everything was so delicious. They even brought us out some soup and rice pudding without us even asking for it. The soup was really comforting on that rainy day and the rice pudding was the perfect light and sweet note to end the meal with. I’m so glad we stumbled onto this place on the last day of our trip. Perfect send off!“

“If you are looking for affordable and delicious Indian food in LA, look no further. This place has it all, excellent service and the most delicious food. I've been to several restaurants in the area but this is by far the best, and a must try.“

“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.“

“This was hands down one of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The flavors were incredibly rich and authentic. It truly felt like home-style cooking. Sam, the owner, was warm and very welcoming. We’re so happy to have found this spot in LA. We will definitely be coming back!!“

“A group of 10 coworkers and I went here after work and it was amazing!!! I will definitely be coming here again with friends or for takeout. There are so many options at an affordable price. I got the two item combo with garlic naan, and I had plenty of food to take home afterwards. Service was awesome, the owners are super friendly, and food came out fast.“

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

“Feels like an authentic Indian restaurant- from the service to the food. We lunched there as a family (adults opted for the buffet) whilst the kids had a chocolate masala dosa and chicken masala dosa. The buffett was great except for the fact that naans used to run out quickly :)“

“The staff at this location were the biggest treat! Went for Sunday lunch today and we had the besttttt service 💯
My go-to here be it door dash or at one of the LA locations is always the butter chicken, chicken poutin fries, chilli cheese naan and palak paneer. You can’t eat here without trying these! End your meal with their delish chai and kheer, too much goodness 👌🏾
Thanks guys, see you soon. Always fresh, flavorful and consistent with a touch of fantastic staff members.
Ps. Parking can be a pain, plan for street parking or parking lots a few blocks away. It’s a busy street, heads up.“

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

“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.“

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

“Best Indian food restaurant in the Valley!“

“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.“

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

“The food was very good. I ordered chicken tandoori, biryani, and garlic naan, and everything was fresh and tasty. However, the restaurant does not have a restroom. My kids needed to use the bathroom, and unfortunately, we were told no. For that reason, I would not return, as I prefer restaurants that have restroom facilities, especially when dining with children.“

“Adavsha Mohammed was a lovely server and human. We thank him for his kindness, the buffet was delightful the atmosphere was soothing and when we asked to change the music from modern night club music to soothing Indian music instead they accommodated us and it made the experience that much more enjoyable.“

“Absolutely amazing food and authentic flavors at India’s Tandoori in Hollywood!
The halal dishes are fresh, perfectly spiced, and full of rich traditional taste.
Friendly staff and quick service make this place a must-visit every time!“

“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.“

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

“Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. I dined in with the lamb tandoori tikkha with saag paneer, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was fresh and on point. The waitress was friendly and the ambience was clean with relaxing jazz piano playing. Highly recommended!“

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

“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.“

“Excellent food!!“

“I've been going to Gill's for years. Everything I've had here has been over the top good. The flavors are amazing. The tandoori chicken is perfectly seasoned and smoky. All the curry based dishes are incredibly tasty. The coconut chicken is spot on. The average dish is $12-$15...what a deal! The restaurant is way in the back of the very old Stillwell Hotel. I happened to walk in once when they were unloading their groceries. LOTS of boxes of fresh produce. Not a bunch of canned and frozen stuff. That explains a lot of why the food is so good here. If you like Indian food, this is the place to go...and such a bargain!“

“Hands down the best Indian food in NoHo. Probably all of LA. I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. Super friendly, no matter the hardship, this family smiles through.“

“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.“

“Govinda, the owner of this food truck, is a true hero. He runs this truck as a personal mission to do his part in battling food insecurity. His plates are priced at $5 (but really, this is a suggested donation and he never turns you away if you're in need).

Everything in the truck is vegan, partly due to his religious beliefs (Hare Krishna) and partly to accommodate every srudents' dietary preferences.

Each plate is packed with flavor, nutrition, and love. He runs a set menu for each day of the week. It always comes with a glass of lemonade and chips. Don't worry about the portion sizes. You're sure to leave satisfied.

But most importantly, the owner is a genuinely good person. He always stands outside his food truck, personally greeting customers and taking their orders. He takes great pride in his work and is always ecstatic to share updates about how his business is doing and how much he is helping his community. I've spoken to him many times and he understands the food insecurity crisis that students face, hence the pricing and proximity to UCLA. In order to break even, he must sell 70 plates daily, so please frequent this place as much as you can.“

“If you love Indian food, this is the place to be! The flavors are rich, and every dish is cooked to perfection. The ambiance is warm, and the service is excellent. My personal favorite is their biryani—so aromatic and delicious.“

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

“Delicious food and friendly service! Chicken tikka masala is really good.“

“Best place ever“
