The food is the BEST Punjabi food in US! Nothing more to add, PERIOD. Try it out and I might pay you if you're not completely satisfied!“

“As usual, the food was fantastic. We usually dine at the Woodland Hills restaurant, but decided to try Encino over Christmas. Noman
Is an exceptional manager, who made sure our meal was perfect and the service was as good as Woodland Hills. We highly recommend Anarbaugh. It is not just the best Indian food in The valley, but also one of the best restaurants overall in the valley.“

“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 really tasty vegetarian entrees. Samoas are a hit and the naan is so delicious and soft and warm. Today they gave me a hot chai tea. Very thoughtful. Cold and raining ☔️ and it was hot and delicious 🫖“

“I come here every time I’m in LA. I don’t need a menu, and a lot of times I don’t even need to put my order in. These guys are awesome. They only see me once a month but have my entire order memorized when I walked in. Chicken Tikka Masala, Buttered chicken, 2 mango drinks, Spicy chicken Biriyani rice, and 2 orders of garlic naan.

We don’t even wait 10 minutes before all our food is already out in front of us. One of the best Indian spots I’ve ever been to in the US!“

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

“Best Indian food in la“

“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.“

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

“My family and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this place. The food is delicious and so flavorful. The staff are the nicest people ever. They are very attentive and adjusting to your wants. The lady who i believe owns it makes the experience all that much better. Such an amazing valley gem!“

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

“I prefer to stay close to home and Curry Zone is the best place to get Indian food. I've never eaten inside, but maybe I will the next time. The food is amazingly delicious, I'm never disappointed. The garlic naan bread and the mango lassi are flavorful, delicious and compliment the food very well. Can't wait for next time.“

“We came during odd hours between lunch and dinner. Food was excellent! We had the chicken samosas, butter chicken, saag paneer, and some garlic cheese naan and chicken naan. It was all really well made and tasted really fresh. The spinach in the saag paneer especially tasted really fresh. Definitely worth stopping in.“

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

“The rare cases when a new owner does It better the old the old saying a new broom sweeps clean fits this place. food is great they're very kind and we're going to come back to our new Indian place good job guys“

“Went there on a date on Christmas and was excellent!“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

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

“I live in Virginia and tried to place an order with a restaurant with a similar name. Somehow wires got crossed and the order was placed with this restaurant. When the food wasn’t picked up the restaurant went out of the way to track me down and reimburse the charge. This is a restaurant worth your businesses. Good people are sometimes hard to find and should be recognized!“

“The food is here is so good, one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Definitely Top 3 for me, and it’s an authentic, modest mom-and-pop restaurant. Every time I go, they are so kind and sweet. Will do my best to support them as small business owners in the neighborhood.“

“Indian spot located on the 2nd level off of Wilshire. When I typed the name in, Google maps took me to the one on Westwood, so make sure you’re putting in the right address if you’re intending to go here. Very limited street parking. Credit cards accepted. They do take reservations but when we went on a Thursday evening at 8pm, it wasn’t necessary. Masks required and they do check proof of vaccination, although they wanted a picture of the card and didn’t accept my digital CA QR code. Food is family style; the tandoori mix grill was a good way to get a variety of meats/seafood. The butter chicken was tasty. The peas pulao was a good complement to that sauce, though I preferred the garlic naan. They do serve alcohol. It’s good for big groups and they had a TV playing music videos inside. They were open fairly late on a weeknight, so it’s a good spot to get some food if you’re in the Brentwood area and get hungry, but don’t have a reservation anywhere.“

“good food, friendly service, very affordable.“

“As a tourist visiting Los Angeles all the way from India, I wanted to explore some authentic South Asian flavors—and Tawakull Tandoori absolutely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with the aroma of fresh spices welcoming you in like an old friend.

I ordered the Chicken Biryani, a Lamb Karahi, and of course, some fresh garlic naan—and every bite was bursting with flavor. The tandoori meats are perfectly marinated and cooked to juicy perfection. The spice level was just right, and you can tell everything is made fresh with real love and tradition behind it.

The staff were so friendly and attentive, even offering great suggestions for what to try as a first-timer. I also tried the mango lassi, which was the perfect refreshing finish to an already fantastic meal.

If you're in LA and craving rich, flavorful, and authentic Pakistani food, Tawakul Tandoori is a must-visit. I honestly wish I had discovered this place sooner on my trip—I'll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Highly recommend—5 stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“I visited KING OF INDIA with my whole family and I couldn't believe that the food was so delicious anytime visit CALIFORNIA must stop by KING OF INDIA and it's one of our FAVORITE place all time,you guys ROCK.“

“The food was absolutely delightful! Great food and service. Fayaz was very quick to greet me as we got things started for myself with the options they had on the menu. I had the whole restaurant to myself this evening. Fayaz is a very friendly and helpful person. The chefs in the restaurant cook the food so delicious. I ordered the garlic naan with butter chicken masala. The food really satisfied my Indian food cravings.“

“We were a group of 2, ordered lamb and chicken biryani. Both were very delicious (a bit too spicy though we requested mild). Rice needed to be a bit drier than what was served, were told that it is how it's made in Northern India, it was so good, but wanted it to be drier :)“

“Fantastic Lunch Buffet. Offered Vegan dishes too. Clean and organized. Wonderful Staff. Will be going back.“

“It was the first time we visited this restaurant. My family and I loved the food. We ordered Maharashtrian and south Indian food. All dishes were delicious! Especially the Kolhapuri Tambada Rassa!!! It was so authentic that it reminded us of Kolhapuri home food. Along with that, the restaurant owner gave us complimentary Zunka & Bhakri! So exquisite! She suggested us some chef's special dishes. Kanda Bhaji, Sole kadhi was unique. Highly recommended!! The person who took our order, Aashish was kind and gave us the best hospitality during our visit. People should definitely try this restaurant for authentic Maharashtrian dishes!“

“looks like the store is gone, tried to order takeout but closed today tuesday 5/24. i hjope they are still open. great food“

“Excellent Indian food . Must try !!“

“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!“

“absolutely wonderful place.“

“We were making a special Indian dinner for the holidays and went to Spice Plus to shop for all the ingredients. Many of the spices in the recipes were new to us since this was our first time cooking Indian food. Everyone who works there was super helpful in finding what we needed, answering our questions, and making suggestions. Plus they have a really good selection. I highly recommend Spice Plus!“

“Often times I appreciate the vibe that this family style deli has to offer. My family likes the originality of the regulars that attend there. I personally think the relaxed setting is a great place to do business. My personal experiences included giddiness from mangos. Not acceptable in temples of prayer. Prasadam perhaps after prayers a superior order of eating here. All in all singed my Chai ode hair which was an act of humility my brothers.“

“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.“

“The boneless Chicken dum biryani is my favorite here, a must try dish for delicious spicy food lovers.“

“I eat here every time I’m in the area. The lunch buffet is phenomenal. You literally cannot be the quality for the price anywhere in L.A.
Tons of options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Sometimes there are even lamb or goat dishes.
Buffet comes with fresh naan as well and is good!
Rarely crowded as well. 10/10 recommended.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor me encantó!!!“

“Great sanctified Prasadam offered to the lordships“

“I have been a long time customer of Chutney’s on Pico and Barrington in West La. The food is wonderful and the owner and staff are very pleasant to interact with. Highly recommended when you are in the mood for excellent quality Indian food!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the LA area. The food is delicious! Restaurant is always clean and friendly staff really makes it enjoyable to eat there. I highly recommend trying it if not this location there is also a Santa Monica location. 👍“
