“Edited for recent visit on 2/7/24:Finally got to try the malai pasta. It did not disappoint in flavor and was fantastic. I think adding some meatballs would further elevate this dish with some protein. Lamb sliders were also super tasty. The pizza was fine but was made better by dipping it in the malai pasta sauce. The staff were gracious and helpful. Significantly improved from my previous visit. Would come back.Malai pasta: 4.5/5Lamb sliders: 4.5Green tikka pizza: 3.5Old review:I’ll admit we didn’t have the pasta. Between the pizza, wings, and something else we had we left feeling pretty underwhelmed. We asked a couple next to us about their wings which were different than ours and their response was a similar “meh”.Indian food and Italian food should be full of flavors, this fusion of flavors seemed to be meant for the palate of someone who had never had any ethnic food. I appreciate the attempt, but I felt it was poorly executed. I might give them a try again as it has been awhile.“

“Been there a few times and every single had a great experience. I have tried every single item on the vegetarian menu. Exceptional food, exotic cocktails suggested by Benjamin . Benjamin has familiarized the menu pretty well for being new to the Indian cuisine who could suggest every menu item like a pro..“

“Wow! This is such an amazing and unique concept! I love the frankies selection from the menu. I tried Chicken Tikka Masala Frankie and Crispy Frisch Frankie and I’m satisfied! The frankies are made from naan which was freshly baked and the fish and chicken were nicely cooked and overall it was amazing! Reasonable pricing for the size of the food. Amazing service from the business and highly recommended to try if your looking for something new!“

“The man there is exceptionally great at customer service.He Offered samples before I made my selections, and the taste was simple, just like home-cooked. I was almost the last customer; he made sure I left fully satisfied. While the garlic naan was a bit thick, I gulped the entire meal box satisfying. The atmosphere was simple, not too loud, and the food spoke volumes. I wholeheartedly recommend this place. Also, do not worry about the timings. He is almost open for another 35-40 mins after 10 Pm. I've seen him taking in more customers after me.The outside street didn't feel safe; that's the only thing that bothered me to walk to the restaurant from my hotel.“

“Amazing food. I ordered takeout for maharani thali and man do I love it. The taste was so authentic would visit again when ever I am in California to get some amazing Rajasthani food. To all who are thinking about trying, give it a shot you would not regret it.“

“This place has been on my "hit list" for a few years now and I'm so glad to have finally made the trip! We live on the westside, and happened to be downtown for Luna Luna, so I was excited to see that Badmaash wasn't far. Parking isn't terrible, but it's also not the greatest location (we were lucky to find street/metered parking 2 blocks away). Upon arriving, there was some weird confusion over us and another "group of 7 for 7pm" -- and though we were the first of the two groups to arrive, we were given the smaller area that wouldn't have been big enough to hold all the food we were planning to order. However, with some effort (on their end) and patience (on ours) we were able to get an additional table brought over. Everything that came out was SO GOOD! I could have (and should) have ordered the Coconut Curry Mussels for just me. Just a heads up, the space itself is pretty tiny - we were seated on the little deck upstairs. It was a little loud and hard to converse amongst our friend group, BUT with that being said -- the playlist deserves an extra point!“

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

“great food. very nice staff. food was fast and wonderful! only togo on indoor eating right now.“

“What can I say? I have NO WORRIES about eating here hehehhehehe…. A super chill dude whipping up some fire curry and it’s very affordable? Hell yeahThere’s an $18.99 double curry deal with rice and a drink, highly recommend the saag paneer and garlic naan.“

“One of my sons and I wanted to try this new place. Parking is ok. It gets very busy in this shopping center. Walked in and a very friendly and clean place. The gentleman that was helping us was kind and patient. We really didn't know what to get. My son asked, "What do you recommend?" He was very helpful. Food is delicious ?Fresh Nan. Different curries.Oh, they have deeeelicious mango drink. I would go back for that alone, but everything we purchased was great. See you there ?“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“I really like this place the food is authentic ambience is great and the people here are super friendly. They offer samples they have desserts and Traditional Indian drinks. I already tried them three times in last 15 days they’re always spot on so I highly recommend anybody who wants to try Indian food“

“It was our 1st time and a little hesitant. Turned out to be the best decision we made. We were welcomed and the guy taking our order was friendly and helpful. He also informed us that we can make anything spicy if we wanted to, so we did. Food was very delicious ?“

“Immediately, when I walked in, I was greeted. I explained that I wasn’t familiar on the restaurant set up, and the person explained to me how the combo meals worked. The curry, rice and naan hasd so much flavor. When I get back to LA, this will definitely be my go to curry place.“

“A very enjoyable meal. Had a starter and a mains. Both excellent and felt full at the end. I sat outside and people watched. The service was excellent, very attentive. The price on a par with other restaurants on the front. Will be going again before going home“

“Great place. Mostly grab and go food but they have 2 little tables in there. Support small businesses like this. They serve you a great meal at a great price. Who doesnt like chciken and rice? Its so bomb and clean. Make sure to tip and be friendly. The people working there are always so nice and attentive.“

“Had wonderful dinner at tulsi tonight. I highly recommend their Lilva kachori, tulsi special dhosa, and masala chaas. My daughter really liked their paneer Frankie and rose lassi Over all, amazing service and very tasty food.“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, good service“

“I recommend New flavor of India restaurant . Very friendly Very clean Large portions And most important the food is very flavorful .“

“Went to grab dinner here before a Laker game and absolutely loved it. We ordered the Mekhani chicken, basmati rice, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas and it was all delicious. We also had a mango lassi and masala tea, which were fantastic. The service was great, super kind man who chatted with us a bit. He kindly gave us some free dessert at the end, which was also delicious (I forgot what it was called but it was shredded carrot in a sweet milk with nuts. So good!). It is cash/Venmo only, so be prepared with either.“

“This is a very nice South Indian Telegu style Indian restaurant. They have a lot of unique dishes you won’t find at your typical Indian restaurant. Must try the biryanis here, they are amazing! They have a lot of veg and non-veg options here. However, just be warned that the food here can be spicy so if your spice tolerance is less, make sure to order very mild spice level.The staff are very nice and friendly but the main negative is the speed of service, it’s horribly slow. Even when I had to pick up a to go order, I had to wait 20-30 minutes after the pickup time, even when the restaurant was less than half full.If they improved the speed of service at least a little I would come here much more often but the extremely slow service makes the amazing food less enjoyable.“

“I came from canada and I was driving around to look for some Indian food that's where I saw curry time and spoke to the host Amita MONGA and the way she welcomed me was unbelievable and the food that she recommended was so mouth watering that I couldn't resist and took some food for home as well for my family Must try thief food“

“Owners are very friendly people. Raj is very nice and funny. He’s got GREAT customer services .. top notch. Food is amazing! Lots of snacks to choose from. Food made fresh to order. I strongly suggest you try RT Kitchen for parties and any event!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan here, and delicious ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: It’s tricky getting in, but plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right at front door.“

“Breakfast and lunch are great at Tray. Everything on the menu is delicious!! Top notch staff as well. The Buttermilk Fried chicken is a Wednesday favorite. They also recently added an amazing Torta to the menu. This place is a DTLA hidden gem!“

“I come here once a month to stock up on Indian food. The frozen curries are enough for 2 or 3 meals each with rice. the samosas are great and the lentil soup or dal is great for protein! I'll also buy a masala Dosa or idli's to eat with a mango lassie before going home. It's a great deal!“

“Wow! What a great chef and owner. He was friendly and helpful; making whatever we desired. The menus is a bit crazy but after talking with the chef I didn’t even need the menu. Food and service were next level. The chef worked with all my dietary restrictions. Great place if you are complicated. Maybe not great if celiac, but good if you are gluten free, dairy free and soy free like me! I had lamb dosa and vegan las! Soooooo yum!!!!!!The vibe was okay, not great and I wish they didn’t use styrofoam plates and plastic cutlery.Vegetarian options: This place had meat and non-meat options. The chef will make what you want. That all said there are vegetarian only Indian places in the neighborhood.Dietary restrictions: The chef worked with all my dietary restrictions. Great place if you are complicated. Maybe not great of celiac but good if you are gluten free, dairy free and soy free like me!Kid-friendliness: They had American food if your kid isn’t a huge Indian fan.“

“We had a really fun family lunch today. Our lovely server Satinder went above and beyond with all our fussy orders and the food was AH-mazing! So many Indian restaurants put way too much spice in the food, but our dishes were perfect. Highly recommend the paneer tikka masala, the egg curry, and gobi manchurian. Will definitely be back.“

“This place rocks. The pizza is awesome and how cool is it that they offer so many vegan options (I’m not vegan but my partner is). Big recommend.“

“Went back a second time and tried the Chicken Behrani off the lunch special menu. Once again, the food was bomb and the amazing service is always such an unexpected surprise but very much appreciated. Their lunch menu is $12.99 and has a bunch of other options to check out. I will definitely be stopping by whenever I am in the area for work.“

“Shepherd’s Pie & fish & chips are amazing! The drink & service was awesome! I can’t wait to go back!“

“The food was tasty but there were some disappointments- we asked very clearly for very spicy and I made it clear that my wife is from Thailand and we are both accustomed to eating extremely spicy food. The food was not very spicy at all. I was disappointed by the lack of condiments and chutneys and also disappointed they brought so much bread at once and never offered fresh, so it was no longer warm and crispy by the time we finished. These are things I would overlook at a budget restaurant but this isn’t a budget restaurant. The food was good but I don’t think we’ll be back“

“The cuisine was top notch and the service was even better. Pure and authentic Panjabi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“It was an awesome experience being here at Nanking. The good food and remarkable service is at its utmost level.“
