50 Best Indian Restaurants near Culver City

“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛“

“Came here with a group of friends after someone recommended it, and honestly, it’s one of those places you might overlook at first. From the outside, it’s pretty low-key and not the most eye-catching, but once you walk in, the whole vibe changes. The staff welcomes you right away, and you can’t miss the wall full of awards—it definitely says something. The place itself is casual and not fancy, but the food and service really stand out. Everyone on the team checked in on us without being overbearing, and you can tell they work well together. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was full of flavor. Definitely recommend getting a mango lassi to balance out the spice—it came in clutch.“

“The person working the till last night (Sunday) around 8:30 or so was on her AirPods talking to someone else (definitely appeared to be a personal call), which made it hard for her to hear me and hard for me to hear her. I definitely ordered naan more than once, did not get it, may have paid for it, at that point I didn’t want to ask because I knew it would be pointless and I wanted to end the interaction. I’m not sure if she answered my questions or if she was talking to the other person on the phone and either way she was speaking so incredibly quiet I was not be able to hear what she was saying either way. Honestly idc if someone is chatting to others during work hours, in fact in some ways I support it and don’t think it is an issue at all, but maybe stop for 90 seconds when a customer is there. It was just an incredibly weird experience, and it was my first time there, so a little more help would have been nice. And, again, some naan. Lol. Maybe they didn’t have it? I don’t know because I couldn’t hear a word she was saying, and it definitely felt like I was bothering her when I asked her questions or to repeat herself so I just gave up because it was so incredibly uncomfortable. She was very unwelcoming, and not even neutral, and it genuinely takes a lot for me to say that because I don’t think service people owe me cheerfulness, particularly not at the wage they’re usually paid. But this was truly exceptional, and if this was not her intent or not indicative of what she was experiencing then she needs this feedback.

Can’t review the naan, didn’t receive it lol. I didn’t care for the jackfruit but did not hate it (not to my taste, though I do like jackfruit), I liked the pakora curry, I LOVED the fake chicken dish the sauce is delicious and so rich. Definitely not enough rice for the dishes, but thankfully I was able to make some naan at home. Samosa was good and so were the pani puri though the tamarind water was a bit bland, maybe it was the savory type? I love pani puri so honestly I’m just happy to have them, but I will say the shells were a bit stale, maybe because I came late in the evening, and partly because I’ve had so many of the pani puri from Puja’s Palate at the motor Ave farmers market and those are 🤤🤤🤤.

I’ll definitely come back here, the prices are reasonable, it’s nearby, etc. but I honestly might leave to go elsewhere if I saw that person on their AirPods at the till again because it was that awkward and also I would like to get my correct order.

(Ps, make sure you’re looking at the menu for this location as the one online is for a different one, and I went there initially for pav bhaji, and wasn’t able to get it. :( I was pretty bummed lol.)“

“Food was tasty. Had bisibele bhat and curd rice. Mango pickle given with curd rice was awful in color and smell. Seemed very very old. Usually lime pickle is served with curd rice. Even if mango pickle given, it is red and fresh with nice chili oil.“

“The atmosphere was casual and informal like a cafe . What a creative spread . The food we ate was a Fusion of Indian and Mexican . The owner was very amiable and the waiters very cordial and respectful . Will highly recommend this place 👍🏻🙌🙌🎉🎊“

“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!“

“I walked by IndiMex and happy I walked in! The food is mind-blowing good! I ordered chicken tandoori with their special sauce on the side. They normally use for the special sauce for their Chicken Masala. The secret sauce is like nothing Ive tried before. It's sweet with hints of savory, ten stars!“

“Really good interior with professional service i like it“

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

“It was my friend's first time in and we were told that the bar/drinks weren't going to be served. It doesn't say that anywhere on the website or menu, so that really changed how our experience went. Then, our server was fine, but the only one there for all the customers. This is my favorite Badmaash location so I felt disapointed that it wasn't perfect for my friend.“

“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.“

“Too too good Can’t express Mouth still flavoring“

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

“Service was spectacular. Each staff member was friendly and attentive without being pushy or constantly checking on us. It felt like they weren't just trying to bring us the food we ordered, but they genuinely wanted us to have a good time and enjoy the whole experience also.“

“What a great surprise to find such great authentic Indian thali in Dublin, Ireland . Coming from San Francisco this was a great find. Food was awesome - Chole, kurma, sambhar. Rasam, bhindi masala was spicy and yummy with lots of flavor.. Priyanshi seated us even if the restaurant was full and packed. Charu served us professionally and was really on point with her order. Will recommend Southern Spice for anyone in Dublin area.“

“I LOVE this place. The food the atmosphere, both amazing. Of the small plates please try the sweet potato chaat and the cauliflower dish. Of the large plates, I’ve tried 3-4 and all were really good. Great for dates, casual hangouts, and to get a bit drunk with delicious bites.“

“Great place for authentic Indian Food.“

“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.“

“Was delicious and many traditional Indian dishes to choose from. Great service and we were even told about other dishes we might enjoy. Love it!!!!“

“Hollywood Vegan has redefined what it means to enjoy plant-based and organic food. Every product is top-notch!“

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

“I’m a total snob so it’s hard to impress me. I’m such a jerk. Anyway, this place is awesome. I had the Masala Dosa (spicy) and the vegetable korma. The food was so good - my brain is spinning.

Friendly family, too.

What a gem of a place right in Studio City.“

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

“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.“

“Wow I am officially in love with this place the food is so delicious amazing taste it definitely taste of love I love the chicken masala I can eat this all day the rice 🍚 is so delicious 🤤 people here are so nice and the hospitality just feels like home best recommended 100/100 best of the best“

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

“Literally so bomb!!!! Don’t judge a book by its cover. Everything I’ve had there has been 20/10. Also the woman who usually is at the register is a sweet angel sent from heaven above. Fast, yummy, you won’t be sorry ❤“

“Loved the food, came here with my friends for his birthday, and this was are first time here, not knowing what to really expect. When you first walk in you get hit with many amazing smells, making you excited to try the food. It took about 20 minutes to get our food and it did not disappoint, the food was delicious and bursting with flavor and would strongly recommend lotus Indian cafe.“

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

“This the my go to Indian. Chef used to be at another spot and spun out on his own. Flavor is out of this world, can hit right spice/heat level, lots of vegetarian options alongside good servings. Garlic butter naan is woah. Price point went up but is honestly still worth it“

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

“The food is hands down the best here, this spot has been my personal favourite. The Vijaywada chicken biriyani is our guilty pleasure. We have tried the malabar paratha with the abhiruchi chicken curry, that is incredible as well. My wife loves typical Indian flavours so she enjoys the spice and the intensity of the masalas. It’s preferable to discuss the spice level before ordering.If you are someone who is spice intolerant, you can either skip this place or go easier on the spices.“

“Best Indian Food in LA I've been to just about every indian restaurant in Los Angeles this is by far the best place especially if you are a Desi or Desi looking person you will be treated with the respect you deserve the food was amazing I had the chicken vindaloo it was the best in my life Rosalina Flores was the nicest waiter I've had the pleasure of receiving service from she was constantly asking us if we needed anything else and checking how we enjoy the food . This place is way better than curry boys by miles and leap years . My wife enjoyed lunch plate aloo gobi and dual and salt lassi she absolutely loved it .“

“Genuine person. Very good and healthy food. He should charge more for the quality and quantity. But I understand he is also doing it as a service. Definitely recommended to anyone in Westwood. Please go show your support especially in down times of the year like summer when there are fewer students on campus.“

“5/5 Stars
I eat here 2 to 3 times a week, and it never misses; Unlike a lot of Indian spots where price, quality, and portion sizes feel completely unbalanced, this place absolutely excels at all three. Art is incredibly hard-working and consistently delivers high-quality food every single time. They do an amazing job and deserve to be getting local support and outside orders on the routine. How they haven't become the go to spot for Indian food in the area is beyond me - people in the area need to wake up and stop by!“

“Je recommande ce restaurant. Repas délicieux, prise de commande rapide, service à table rapide. Personnel très accueillant. Thank you for your hospitality“

“Excellent, can't wait to go back & try something else!!!“
