Best Indian food (especially their vegetarian menu) in Los Angeles. Their flavors are so rich and unlike any of the dime a dozen Indian restaurants in LA. This may be due to their North Indian recipes that differ from the common South Indian flavors that are in most restaurants. Their food is simply incomparable and I’ve grown up eating Indian food from all the local hot spots. If you’re unsure of where to go- you MUST try this place.
If I could give zero stars, I would! My family and I came into this establishment a few days ago to have dinner. Mind you, it was a bit late, but the restaurant had a good while before closing. I’m not sure if it was due to that reason or what, but the staff there were so incredibly rude. From the second we walked in, the tension in the air was felt. No warm welcome or greeting and we were just pointed to where we should sit. From sitting to ordering, the same attitude persisted and it just messes up the entire mood of the family dinner.The food was alright too! Since we were the only people there and sitting close to the kitchen, we could hear microwaves going off in the back.Save the trouble and money and go else where. I’d like to recommend a few in downtown, Santa Monica and the Hollywood area.

This place had lots of recommendations. I don't get it. The staff is the coldest, most unfriendly restaurant people I have ever seen. Worse, I think they are all one family, which means they have to have this small biz survive. The naan was the worst I've ever had, and the rest was only ok.

I have been coming here for 20 years.Food is good ! But the lady server is TERRIBLE service and attitude! She has gotten worse! No wonder their closing. Besides their higher prices.

Lady server is just rude!! Doesn’t appear to be trained in customer service apparently. Food is ok.

Great Indian food around the area that I would highly recommend. Personally had the Channa masala and it was a major hit. Fair pricing and average service, but the food was outstanding. The ambiance was a bit quiet but it hardly mattered.

Super delicious food! We ordered chicken tikka masala, some garlic naan and mixed tandoori. Everything was very tasty! They also have good selections of Indian beers!
It’s not a buffet. No lunch neither dinner buffet.

Bad1. When I called a man answered I ordered 4 items and told him I wanted to use the promo 20% off. He sounded confused and then told me he'd check the website. When I get there a lady says, no you have to print it. There is no barcode even to print. I showed her on the phone and she said no you have to print. It's promo. Of course it a promo. That's why I'm here. So she charged me full price and said bring the print out next time. Ummm no there won't be a next time. You'd rather charge full price and lose a returning customer than grant the promo which worked and get me back. Great business ?.2. Cheap containers that are meant for pasta or sandwiches are not to be used for curry, spills and complete mess everywhere.Good1. Atmosphere was decorated nicely2. Looked very clean3. Food was above average but nothing extraordinary.

It only takes a tiny bit of effort to be courteous, friendly and carry a smile. The old lady serving is grumpy.As for the food, it lacks flavor. It's just ok.

Its a nice cosy indian restaurant on the first floor of a commercial complex in front of Ralph's. We came in here for dinner and the restaurant was completely empty, not a single soul so i got a bit skeptical but went ahead and ordered some food as i was really hungry.We got chicken makhani, coconut fish curry , garlic naan and taj mahal special naan .I loved the food , the preparation was really good, taste was authentic. Fish curries can be tricky but they did it right .The only thing i would say is quantity could be tad more than what the prices are put up for.The garlic naan was good , I didn't like the Taj Mahal special naan , it was kinda bland , kinda raw on the sides and didn't quite come out for me , i would skip that when here. Overall nice visit .
