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

“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.“

“Came here for dinner and left feeling like I'd just eaten at home. The Aloo Tikki was crispy and perfectly spiced, the Chana Chalupa was a fun twist, and the Noormahal Lasagna was something I haven't seen anywhere else. The Veggie Fun came out at exactly the spice level I asked for, and they were happy to swap in garlic naan. Everything was well cooked and the flavors felt genuinely authentic, which is hard to find in LA.
The service really stood out too. The staff was warm, attentive and super sweet the whole night. You can tell they care about their guests. Highly recommend Roots Indian Bistro, and I'll definitely be back.“

“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤“

“I walked by IndiMex and happy I walked in! The food is mind-blowing good! I ordered chicken tandoori with their special sauce on the side. They normally use for the special sauce for their Chicken Masala. The secret sauce is like nothing Ive tried before. It's sweet with hints of savory, ten stars!“

“Amazing Indian cuisine!!!!“

“Loosened it up and pulled it closer to how you actually wrote it:

---

Was in Hollywood for a conference with a few colleagues and we were all craving Indian food. A colleague's friend told us, go to Badmaash, you will not regret it. The name got me curious. Badmaash is Hindi for naughty, so we had to try it.

Even the Uber ride was fun. The driver, a Syrian immigrant who runs his own VIP car service, was a lively, chatty guy and somewhere along the way asked me for a garam masala recipe. I gave it to him and he was super thankful. Giving out garam masala recipes on the way to an Indian restaurant, the cephalic phase of digestion was already in full swing.

Walked in and the first thing I saw was Sharifon ki Nagri written on the wall in Hindi, which means City of Angels. Naughty in the city of angels. I couldn't stop smiling.

We ordered papdi chaat, onion pakodas, cutting chai, saag aloo, aloo gobi, dal tadka, chicken wings, chicken biryani and kulfi. I stuck to the vegetarian stuff. The chaat was average but the pakodas were crispy and done right, like the ones from a shop in north India where the guy does nothing else. The aloo gobi hit me the most. Exactly how my mom makes it in a typical Punjabi household, jeera tadka, no tomato, nothing complicated. Just simple. Dal tadka was the same, simple and good. Saag aloo was low on oil and very lightly flavored, done just right.

I don't know the chef and didn't get to meet him or her, but I want to say it, you are a master of your craft. Running a modern, smartly designed place and still keeping the food this simple is not easy. I have no idea where the name comes from, but my guess is someone who loved the owner called them badmaash. The food tells that story. If you are in the area this is a must, even for an everyday meal.“

“Super delicious and authentic Indian cuisine!“

“Really good interior with professional service i like it“

“5/5
We had an amazing time dining here! The vegetarian menu was outstanding—every dish was full of authentic flavor, perfectly spiced, and clearly made with fresh ingredients and real care.
What made the meal special was the incredible hospitality. The team made us feel like honored guests from the second we stepped inside. Service was warm, prompt, and attentive without ever feeling rushed.
If you are looking for top-tier Indian food paired with genuinely welcoming service, this is the place to go. We will definitely be back!“

Will definitely be back!!!“

“I do not believe in reviews, but hear me when I say these people are blessed and their recipes are full of love. Great service & consistent food quality, even right before closing.

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

“I LOVE this place. The food the atmosphere, both amazing. Of the small plates please try the sweet potato chaat and the cauliflower dish. Of the large plates, I’ve tried 3-4 and all were really good. Great for dates, casual hangouts, and to get a bit drunk with delicious bites.“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“I am a fool for not trying out Chef Arango sooner. I live very close, 10 mins or less away. I also moved to the area 4 years ago and only now am I coming here. After this visit I will easily be back and I will be back often.

Chef Arango is comfort food at its finest. The prices are phenomenal, the quantity is bountiful, the food is made fresh with it still being piping hot, and the food is simply yummy. This restaurant and team is like being cooked for by your family. I really don’t know how else to describe this restaurant and team and food. It’s like sitting down for a meal at your mum’s, or auntie’s or ammachi’s (Indian word for “grandma”) home. Simply a delicious, warming, and hearty meal!

I just can’t get over the fact that I paid $22.50 after tax (2026 prices) and got a very filling meal that was amazing tasting, freshly made, and came with loads of meat. I regret not coming sooner even though I’ve passed by hundreds of time. I will try to atone for my sins by coming back as frequently as possible!“

“Great authentic Indian good and store!! The Dosa and Puri’s are delicious!!!“

“We did take out and ordered a 16oz goat curry and a one item lunch special - paid an extra $2 for chicken tikka masala. The flavor of the goat curry was excellent and authentic. The chicken tikka masala was somewhat bland which is a shame. Still, four stars for really good value, and very pleasant service as you stop by to pick up the food.“

“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“

“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.“

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

“Excellent, can't wait to go back & try something else!!!“

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

“The atmosphere was very nice and reminiscent of old 1970’s charm. Our servers, Leslie and Jasmine, were very sweet and attentive. The gnocchi kofta was the highlight of our dinner, and it was also cool to see a menu with dosas on it in Burbank.“

“We came here for dine-in and absolutely loved the experience. The food was amazing and the atmosphere was lovely.
A big thank you to Tony for exceptional service. He was polite, quick, and always had a warm and welcoming smile. He made our visit even more enjoyable. Truly appreciated.

Thank you for your service. Will be back again.

“Chak De California is an amazing place! The staff is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and attentive, the food is delicious, and the interior is modern and beautiful.

We host our Climate Happy Hour here on the last Thursday of every month at 6:00 PM, and our attendees absolutely love the venue. It’s a great place to gather, connect with people, and enjoy amazing food in a welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend!“

“Strange hours and even stranger location! However, it's well worth it. The food swept me off my feet. The chicken was juicy and the portions for the price could not be beat!

They do not take card so bring cash with you.“

“absolutely wonderful place.“

“5/5 Stars
I eat here 2 to 3 times a week, and it never misses; Unlike a lot of Indian spots where price, quality, and portion sizes feel completely unbalanced, this place absolutely excels at all three. Art is incredibly hard-working and consistently delivers high-quality food every single time. They do an amazing job and deserve to be getting local support and outside orders on the routine. How they haven't become the go to spot for Indian food in the area is beyond me - people in the area need to wake up and stop by!“

“I just love this place. I came into town after 4 years and this was in my top 5 places I wanted to stop. Got the chicken tikki masala and it’s as delicious as it’s ever been.“

“very good flavor ...original cuisine“

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