“Great place for authentic Indian Food.“

“We stumbled across here trying to find a new place. The inside was really beautiful, the orange walls and lighting made it feel so luxurious. Tried the garlic naan which was fresh garlic and and soft dough. I got the coconut chicken curry medium which wasn’t too spicy, had good flavor. The rice was perfect and everything was amazing. Will definitely come back again!“

“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. 💛“

“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!“

“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 🫖“

“This is a beautifully decord Indian restaurant, tremendous menu with a warm, youthful family vibe. You will be met with the most fragrant delightful smells emanating from the kitchen as you enter and be surrounded by beautiful seating aggrangments fit for a special or romantic night out. The food, oh my, served authentically in traditional pots is so delicious you will pause to take the flavors all in. We go often, I must always order Saag Paneer, unbelievable, and we try all the various Biryani which are amazing. Last night had Chicken Vindaloo with garlic naan - just melts in your mouth. The staff, it is family owned and everyone is absolutely kind and helpful. A very large menu of Indian traditional meals, very reasonably priced and the food fressness stairs you right in the face. We randomly found this place one night and we have been back at least once or twice per week since. This wonderful restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall off Ventura Blvd with ample parking ( and handicap) right in front. Opened until 10pm, it is a great place for a special meal but is a very casual environment. I've been eating Indian food all my life and this is by far the best you will ever find! And believe me, the family that built this business are very proud of their food.“

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

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

“Had a wonderful family dinner tonight at Agra Tandoori Indian Restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the space felt so inviting—it’s very clean, well-kept, and has great ambient lighting.

We ordered a feast for the table: Shrimp Biryani, Chicken and Lamb Biryani, Chana Masala, Samosas and regular and Cheese Naan. The food tasted amazing, and the portion sizes were even more generous than we expected!

While the whole staff provided great service, I want to give a special shoutout to Azeem. Her welcoming attitude and willingness to go above and beyond for her customers really stood out.

If you are looking to dine-in at an Indian restaurant I would highly recommend this place !“

“Best Indian food in la“

“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!!!!“

“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.“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

“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 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“

“I can’t vouche for this place enough. Been coming here since i moved into the area. First time i had ever tried real Indian food and i fell in love and i come here at least once a week. The chicken korma is literally heaven. I don’t know what they do to it but i can’t live without it. Palak paneer here is also top notch“

“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.“

“Had a really enjoyable meal here. The biryani was delicious and easily one of the best parts of our visit. Everything we ordered was tasty and came together nicely. The service was great as well, with the staff being friendly and attentive during our meal. Overall, we had a very positive experience and left feeling completely satisfied. It’s always nice to find a restaurant that gets both the food and service right. I’ll definitely be coming back again soon.“

“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.“

“Weekend authentic Pakistani food in the valley. This is THE place to have exotic and authentic Pakistani food in the valley.
We always come here to have the Brain Masala from the menu and Bihari Kebab. Those two dishes are the must have when ever you come here.
We also tried their Haleem which was okay.
All the food is proper Pakistani and spicy so be ready to sweat a little.
The service has gotten much better then what it used to be with waiting for food but this time around we got our food in appropriate timing.
Recommend come hungry and try those two for sure.“

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

“absolutely wonderful place.“

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

“The restaurant has a great buffet. The service is excellent also. A clean place. Will return.“

“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 :)“

“Great sanctified Prasadam offered to the lordships“

“Food is all delicious and service was very attentive. Sadly, no parking and they closed, with no notice, for a few days, in November. No holiday. Weekday/night. But, we’ll keep going, because the food is that good. Our favorite is the chicken masala.“

“This place is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious. I’m traveling here from Michigan and we have a lot of Indian food restaurants but I’ve never had food as good as this place in here for a week and I will be here everyday. I had the chicken 65 birianyi and it’s cooked to perfection the spices and flavor is heavenly and the rice and chicken is amazing came with two sauces one is a broth and the other is yogurt with vegetables and both complimented the dish when mix together perfectly. The reason I gave 4 stars is because it takes time for the food to come out that’s all the staff were nice and polite the place is clean. And not to forget the portion is very good for the price and you don’t see that anymore. All in all an amazing experience keep up the good work staff“

“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. 👍“

“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 tastes amazing. Got a veggie simosa, chicken tikka masala and naan. Does not come with rice, have to order a side of rice with food. The chicken tikki masala taste great but I've been to other places wher they give you double the amount of chicken. The naan was buttered even though I got plain naan. Overall good experience.“

“I stopped by today while walking around the SMC campus, since my daughter is considering going to school there in the future. I was pleasantly surprised by the huge variety of products they carry, including both Indian and American groceries. The staff was incredibly friendly and even took the time to teach me how to make chicken masala and shared their homemade recipe with me! I really appreciated them going out of their way to help. They also sell mango lassi, which is one of my favorites, and it was delicious! I’ll definitely be coming back for the mango lassi and the amazing, friendly service.“

“I have been here twice and both times it was good. Tikka masala bowl was great and the gravy was perfect how its suppose to be. Indian pijja (pizza) was great too - balanced flavor, thin crust. And the guy behind the counter is very helpful and friendly too. Highly recommended“

“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!“

“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 food was exceptional ,Came here from London and searched up halal and this came up. We ordered the chicken karhai and lamb karhai,and it was superb. Owners were really welcoming and hospitable. I would recommend this place to everyone especially for halal food. Would definitely come here again.“

“Always good. Took my daughter today and she loved it as well.“

“A true treat in Valley Village. This is an authentic Indian market that also serves delicious food. Whether you dine in, pickup or choose delivery, you're in for a treat. Prices are very competitive for what you're getting at other eateries. Highly recommended.“

“This is my new favorite Indian restaurant ever. And I’ve been to a lot! GO HERE! The okra dish (Bhindi Fry) and the Paneer Butter Masala absolutely blew my mind. We tried the Mysore Dosa which was also incredible. Will be back. Thank god for my leftovers today.“
