“I recently dined at Cardamom Indian Cuisine, and it was fantastic! The ambiance was warm and inviting. I started with crispy samosas, followed by the rich chicken tikka masala, paired perfectly with freshly baked naan. The service was attentive and friendly. For dessert, the mango lassi and gulab jamun were delightful. Overall, Cardamom offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious food. Highly recommend!“

“chicken biriyani is so flavorful. tandoori chicken and naan combo tastes so good. Chat with owner for about 25 min and they have been in business at this location for over 30 years. if they're not good, they won't last this long.“

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

“The staff was very friendly and provided good service. The food was delicious. My only complaint was that the ambient music started at a reasonable volume and progressively got louder and louder to the point where I nearly had to yell across the table. For the record, we were seated at 6 PM and finished at 7:30 PM“

“Super delicious and authentic Indian cuisine!“

“Really good interior with professional service i like it“

“Amazing Indian cuisine!!!!“

“Owners, Staff and overall teamwork has a sync. It won’t go wrong. Also if you know indian movies, their cocktail menu is worth exploring whether you drink or not!! They should try for Michelin Star / Michelin recommended restaurants.
Exceptional service.“

“Indian and Mexican fusion is an incredible innovation. We got two burritos, the appetizer sampler, roti, paratha, a mango lassi, and a tea and everything was so delicious. They even brought us out some soup and rice pudding without us even asking for it. The soup was really comforting on that rainy day and the rice pudding was the perfect light and sweet note to end the meal with. I’m so glad we stumbled onto this place on the last day of our trip. Perfect send off!“

“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.“

“This was hands down one of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The flavors were incredibly rich and authentic. It truly felt like home-style cooking. Sam, the owner, was warm and very welcoming. We’re so happy to have found this spot in LA. We will definitely be coming back!!“

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

“A group of 10 coworkers and I went here after work and it was amazing!!! I will definitely be coming here again with friends or for takeout. There are so many options at an affordable price. I got the two item combo with garlic naan, and I had plenty of food to take home afterwards. Service was awesome, the owners are super friendly, and food came out fast.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're looking for the **best Indian restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles**, I highly recommend **Riwaaz Indian Cuisine & Banquet**. The food here is absolutely authentic and full of flavor—easily one of the top spots for Indian food in LA.

We ordered the **chicken tikka masala, biryani, Samosa Chaat, garlic naan, mutton curry and memna lamb curry** and every dish was rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The **garlic naan** was fresh and soft, and paired perfectly with the creamy curry sauces. You can really taste the traditional Indian spices in every bite.

They also have great **vegetarian options** like paneer tikka and dal makhani, plus a variety of **vegan-friendly dishes**, which makes it a great place for everyone. Portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out.

The ambiance is modern yet welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Whether you're dining in or trying their **weekend Indian buffet**, this place offers one of the best Indian dining experiences in downtown Los Angeles.

If you're craving **authentic Indian cuisine, flavorful curry, tandoori dishes, or the best biryani in Downtown LA**, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!“

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

“Went with a large group.

Flavors are good but it's a bit Americanized. We did enjoy the fusion poutine though. I was shocked that the paneer curry hardly had any paneer. Unfortunately we ordered 3 of those for the table so I had to tough through quite a bit of bell pepper 🥴

Waiter was nice but he kept forgetting to bring some of our stuff, but we got a free extra mango lassi out of it due to the confusion lol

Atmosphere - very chill place and food location

Overall I had a good time and would come here again if I'm in the area. It's a good starting point before some WeHo thrifting“

“yes great service. their food is always cooked at time of ordering. everything is fresh!“

“Best Indian food restaurant in the Valley!“

“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!“

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

“Fue mi primera vez y me gustó la atención al cliente es increíble muy amigables y el lugar es muy pasivo música de la India relajante y en tendencia y sobre todo la comida deliciosa recomiendo este lugar y muy limpio regresaré por seguro 👍🏼🥰🇮🇳😋“

“We had a fantastic birthday dinner here. Kind of pricey, but that's expected with elevated Indian food. We ordered the bacon & date Kulcha as well as the spinach & Mozzarella to start. Bacon and date was by far the better or the two. Then we shared the scallops (a hit!) and sweet potato Chaat (delish). Out of our 3 mains we enjoyed the chicken Korma best then the short ribs and aloo Gobi were tied. Interestingly they used broccoli instead of cauliflower for the Gobi and the potatoes had amazing flavor. Our only complaint was the noise level got to be extremely loud and it wasn't even a full house. Be prepared. We would definitely go again though.“

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

“We always look forward to Baar Baar but they truly had the A-team working tonight. We tried a couple dishes for the first time (SWEET POTATO CHAT and CHICKEN CHETTINAD) in addition to our normal go-tos (CAULIFLOWER 65, SELECTION OF INDIAN CURRIES, rice, and garlic naan). We were lucky enough to have the bar manager / beverage director running the bar that night and the cocktails were even better (didn't know that was possible tbh) than usual. I continue to think Baar Baar is one of the best restaurants in the city and is consistently underrated (however well rated it is).“

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

“Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. I dined in with the lamb tandoori tikkha with saag paneer, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was fresh and on point. The waitress was friendly and the ambience was clean with relaxing jazz piano playing. Highly recommended!“

“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.“

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

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

“If you're a fan of flavorful, authentic biryani and crave a dining experience that perfectly blends tradition with modern flair,must-visit.“

“I can confirm. This is delicious Indian food.

Priced affordably. Do remember that they only accept venmo or cash.

The location is a bit strange in an old hotel, but there are signs to get you there no-issue.

All walls around you in the restaurant have expertly painted murals.“

“yum yum entree, naan, rice, and everything“

“My wife and I had a great experience at Chak De California. The food was excellent, the ambience was nice, and the plating was done really well. The flavors felt authentic and reminded us of Punjab, which made it even better. Definitely recommend this place.“

“Hands down the best Indian food in NoHo. Probably all of LA. I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. Super friendly, no matter the hardship, this family smiles through.“

“Perfect Indian quality food“

“Delicious food (that is actually hot when you ask for it hot!), nice dining area, very reasonably priced for how much food you get (definitely leftovers). Also the staff is really sweet. I somehow left my credit card and didn’t realize until the following day - they held it until I could pick it up. Highly recommend!“

“the food is amazing and the service was excellent, also all of enjoyed the food“

“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“

“Best place ever“

“Food was delicious and great service. it was my husband's first time having Indian food and he loved it as well.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

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

“best indian restaurant in Alhambra.“

“Enjoyed eating there and shopping as well“

“absolutely wonderful place.“

“Shout-out to Taj Mahal of India for staying consistently excellent.

My first time coming here was toward the end of the pandemic, and it immediately left an impression. I hadn’t been back in a couple of years, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Walking in and being greeted by the same familiar faces honestly made my day. That kind of continuity matters.

This place feels truly family-run in the best way. You can tell the team works well together, and that care translates directly to the food. Every single time, it exceeds expectations.

The butter chicken, curry vindaloo, tikka masala, garlic naan. No notes. And trust me when I say this: you must order extra of everything. Non-negotiable.

Grateful this spot continues to do what it does so well. Still a favorite, still worth the return.“

“One of the best gujju food in the town. Love their aloopoori and Vadapav. Must try.“
