“My first time eating at India’s Flavor was amazing! The food was delicious & memorable! I ordered Chicken Masala w/ naan bread and a side of rice. I added on a mango lassi to crunch my thirst. All of it was amazing! Can’t wait to go back & try new items as well as the ones I started with! Thank you!!Parking: A parking lot available to those who come to restaurant or plaza“
“I'm so sad that this place is so far because this place is so good! My husband and I ordered the Saucy Butter Chicken Wings, Paneer Masala Fries, Kahmiri Alla Pasta, Spiced Lamb, and Curry Fun (Chana Masala and Chicken Tikka Masala). Our favorites were the wings, fries, and pasta! Must orders. We also had the Mango Lassi and the Pink Punjabi. We both preferred the Mango Lassi. The Pink Punjabi tasted like milky sprite with a hint of rose. For dessert, we finished with the Rose Doughnuts because the Halwa Ice Cream Sandwich wasn't ready. I think I would've preferred the ice cream sandwich because the doughnuts were way too sweet for me. It is a little pricey than what I'm used to - since I live closer to Little India in Artesia. But it's the pricing for the area its in to be honest. Love that this spot is halal and vegan/gluten-free friendly. There's a public parking lot that didn't have an attendant, but had signs to still pay the amount of $10 in a box. We didn't want to risk it, so we parked in the neighborhood and walked. Our service was fantastic with Rajat. The place was clean and vibrant. Everything came out hot, ready, and pretty!“
“Nice food. Friendly staff. I am a repeat La Mirch Studio City customer. I asked for Chicken Tikka Masala with sauce on the side. I was charged $16 for the chicken tikka and $9 for sauce. I was not so happy about that. If you make chicken tikka masala, don't you make it fresh then add sauce? Why then is a $17 entree becoming a $25 entree? It does not seem good to me. I enjoy the food but this was not a happy experience to pay $9 to simply ask for sauce on the side. Please explain. Thank you!“
“The variety of Indian food was mainly focused on certain region and elevated it so well. I enjoyed every bit of the food. The desserts were different with a twist. Will be coming back here. They do not serve hard liquor but do have wine and beer. Parking is on the road.“
“Edited for recent visit on 2/7/24:Finally got to try the malai pasta. It did not disappoint in flavor and was fantastic. I think adding some meatballs would further elevate this dish with some protein. Lamb sliders were also super tasty. The pizza was fine but was made better by dipping it in the malai pasta sauce. The staff were gracious and helpful. Significantly improved from my previous visit. Would come back.Malai pasta: 4.5/5Lamb sliders: 4.5Green tikka pizza: 3.5Old review:I’ll admit we didn’t have the pasta. Between the pizza, wings, and something else we had we left feeling pretty underwhelmed. We asked a couple next to us about their wings which were different than ours and their response was a similar “meh”.Indian food and Italian food should be full of flavors, this fusion of flavors seemed to be meant for the palate of someone who had never had any ethnic food. I appreciate the attempt, but I felt it was poorly executed. I might give them a try again as it has been awhile.“
“The best place I have ever been to eat, very clean, the portion of food-price is really good, super delicious, fresh, well seasoned, the person who serves is very very friendly and very nice!!! I work in that area and it will become my new lunch place“
“Nice place to get together with friends and or family and enjoy delicious Indian food. The service is good and the ambiance is cool. We went there on a Sunday for brunch and we had a really good time, there's a DJ on the premises to dance a little if you so desire... Enjoy it my dear “
“No frills, simple, and homey restaurant with incredibly generous portions of biryani. I ordered the lamb biryani, which is one of their most popular items, along with a samosa and chicken roll to try. There's a service fee for card transactions (I think 5%). The samosas and chicken rolls stay in a small food warmer box near the entrance and is self-service . They call your name to pick up the main entrees at the counter. Chicken roll was really savory and the samosa had a good crunchy fry to it. The complimentary chutneys go well with them. The biryani comes with its own special chutney (sauce?) that brings a much needed brightness (minty-herbaceous) flavor profile to the otherwise salty and filling biryani. It took me 3 days to finish and made for great leftovers. :)“
“my friend bashes indian food and perhaps not just their food well let's keep that to ourselves shall we the problem is the price fundamentally an american may view this cuisine as exotic however i also view it as exotic but perhaps not worth the exorbitant fees they charge perhaps indian food in LA is a bigger racket than anything scorsese filmed about“
“Overall the food was AMAZING! ? This was my first time ever trying Indian cuisine and my god it was so tasty! They don’t skimp on the portions at all! I paid around $37 and they gave me enough food to feed a family of 3! lol ? Honesty I recommend this place. If I knew this hidden jem existed before I would’ve reviewed this place earlier lol“
“A sleeper hit in Pasadena. I’m probably in the minority here but my staple dish to get at a desi place is the bhindi masala. The execution at Akbar is impeccable. Fat, fresh okra sautéed with the sweetest caramelized onions topped with crunchy roasted cumin and a splash of what I’m guessing is amchurs bright acidity to cut through the meticulously charred edges. The paneer makhani and coco lamb were also enjoyed by my more mainstream butter chicken craving compatriots. The sides are also worth a mention - the raita is a perfect companion to the coco lamb, and the garlic naan is so long you could fit the Mahabharata on it compared to the standard soft taco sized offerings of other establishments. Oh did I mention free parking next door at the Green Tree motel? My only regret is waiting 2 years to come here after passing by it so many times.“
“Crown of India has excellent and delicious food, and the serving staff is friendly and helpful. I highly recommend eating here. They are very accepting of LGBT community. May I suggest their garlic/cheese naan. I don't know of any other Indian restaurant that makes this form of naan. I take all my friends there for a wonderful meal.“
“This place is a Gem! Found it on Uber eats under offers and it was the best Indian food I ever had. Food was well packed and very warm. Everything is so fresh and so delicious I highly recommend this place. The beef biryani; Gulab; chicken tikka and Mango Lasi!!! Just amazing!!“
“This place was so good! I live really close to this place and I always walk past it. A couple of days ago I decided to go in and check it out, I was very surprised at how good it was, they give nice portions too ! I had the chicken tikka masala and curry chicken! Very flavorful! Also the lentils, I recommend this place ! The owner was nice too“
“awesome family owned Indian restaurant very nice peopleI had the tikka masala and the chicken, korma rice, and with non-the two item combo come on guys don't go waste your money On some big franchise chain come here these people really care what they're doing here. They're so proud of their food, and they will should be at so freaking. It's so nice when you go to Indian restaurants one person have to drop over $40-$50. Sometimes we are at work. We eat Indian food and go back to work. That's curry zones I love curry this is my eighth It was an accident, but I don't come here by accident. I come here cause it's fantastic.“
“I recently dined at this Indian restaurant and was blown away by the culinary journey it took me on. The Chicken Makhni, Alu Gobhi, and the Garlic Naan along with the Cheese Naan were absolute delights . Each dish was bursting with flavor and perfectly balanced in spices. I wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone craving authentic Indian cuisine. You won't be disappointed!“
“Every time we eat there, we are impressed by the overall quality of the food and service. Chef Arango delivers high quality food in every dish. Each item is extremely fresh and well prepared. You can also tell that the family really appreciates every single customer. I can't say enough positive things about them. I am honestly thankful to have a such a solid Indian food option right in the neighborhood.“
“Wow. I liked Indimex before they changed management, now I love it! I wrote a review 7 years ago with a follow up 6 years ago pre covid. Remember when? During Covid and even more recently, I would order and have it delivered. But tonight I saw they were open and there was parking space right in front so I went in person. Wonderfully warm new owner, quaint dining room albeit small but remodeled and the new owner has plans for more. - feels more authentically Indian with a Mexican twist. Indian movie posters and music, colorful walls and tables. Their Chicken Tikka Masala sauce is the real deal as is the raita. Delicious. The chicken tikka masala quesadillas are reasonable and filling. I'm so glad they survived Covid and with this new management I'm excited to see what comes next. Have an adventure as I said in my original posting 7 years ago. Tired of the same old same old? Support local businesses. And enjoy!“

“I dined in this restaurant for the first time today. The rating of this restaurant is five out of five according to the quality of the food. High-quality restaurant service. The whole restaurant is very clean and I am very happy with the cleanliness and tidiness of the restaurant. When I entered the restaurant there was a nice aromatic smell inside this restaurant which made me want to write something about the restaurant.. Other Indian restaurants have a strong pungent smell of spices but in this restaurant, the only difference I got was a very nice aromatic smell which is used in various five-star hotels while stay. The ambiance of the restaurant is beautifully blended with the color of the walls of the restaurant under the light amber lights to create a dense romantic atmosphere.I am so happy with the organic food of this restaurant that I wish this restaurant all the best for the future and I look forward to seeing the success of this restaurant very high. I am happy with the food of today's restaurant and may your restaurant continue to use this type of organic and locally cut lamb, goat, and chicken in the future.I highly recommend this restaurant.Parking: Free Parking Lot.Kid-friendliness: Very kids Friendly. The owner of this restaurant gave my kid free kulfi.“
“There are few places that leave both my hunger and heart satiated. Electric Karma is one of them. From the amazing food to the wonderful customer service and the amazing company I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying here, I cannot express how happy this place makes me feel.I’m eternally grateful to have shared conversations with my dear friends in the back room, legs crossed, hunched over the low tables. There’s something so special about passing plates back and forth, ensuring everyone gets their fair share, that makes me feel so lucky.Whenever I make plans to go here, I look forward to it all day. I can’t wait to come back and share space with the host and my friends again soon. I’d give them 6 stars if I could :)“
“Urban Masala consistently stays one of my favorite places to get Indian food in LA. I'm single, so ordering from most places and being able to try everything I want can easily put me back $80+ but Urban Masala's plates allow me to get a little bit of everything I like for less than $20 and it is always so so good. You can't go wrong here.“
“What can I say? I have NO WORRIES about eating here hehehhehehe…. A super chill dude whipping up some fire curry and it’s very affordable? Hell yeahThere’s an $18.99 double curry deal with rice and a drink, highly recommend the saag paneer and garlic naan.“

“Had one of their combo meals via delivery. Goat curry, saag paneer and a mixed veg dish with rice, naan and raita. Everything was delicious, certainly some of the best Indian food I've had close to mid city. Very much appreciate that they serve goat and have dishes on the menu that are outside the standard Indian menu you see at most places in the area. Looking forward to going in person and trying their balti dishes as well as the paya. "Very very spicy" here seems to mean mildly spicy, so if you're a chili head like me best to let them know you mean business. The cilantro mint chutney was probably the best I've ever had-so fresh. All around great food.“
“Best Indian food I've ever had. Everytime I've ordered elsewhere since ordering from here I've been disappointed. My GO TO Indian spot & it will never be rivaled! I always get the veggie coconut curry, basmati rice, veggie samosas, raita, mint sauce & mango chutney, and the cheese naan. And a mango lassi & gulab for dessert of course. Consistent and delicious. Love yall!“

“My son took me to this place while I was visiting LA, and I absolutely loved the ambience, the food quality and the friendly staff. Dishes served were freshly made and the taste was authentic. I highly recommend this place to everyone, its an experience.“
“Visiting from Vancouver and came across this sweet little restaurant. Food was absolutely amazing - fresh, flavourful, and delicious! My wife and I are quite picky about Indian food but this place hit the mark! We had to go back one more time before we left L.A. They were closing that day but the owner was super kind and let us in. Will definitely come back to this place the next time we visit L.A.“
“Indias grill is truly the best. I’ve been their customer for 22 years and they always are so friendly and the food is amazing. The food is very authentic and I always enjoy coming here since they make me feel at home. I highly recommend the chicken tika masala and the garlic naan“
“Wow, everything was just amazing. First, they happily welcomed us in. They already seemed very friendly and made us feel comfortable. We sat down and had a few questions. The waiter was very kind and explained the difference between chicken tikka( sizzler, not in sauce) and chicken tik masala( in red tomato based sauce), and other questions we had.We also got our drinks and we usually have to tell other places that we don’t want ice in our water, but they asked us first, which was very considerate of them. They also frequently checked on us and made sure we were good on water and food.We really enjoyed the food and although it’s next to a 7/11, the atmosphere and service was just so great that we forgot that we had to leave. I really enjoyed everything. Also, their bathroom is so clean!! It’s honestly one of the best experiences we had at an Indian restaurant.We even briefly talked to the servers and they were also so kind and come to find out, they are mostly family working. You can tell how sincere they are and truly want all their guests to be happy.Before we walked out, the waitress came and opened the door. We walked in with a smile and left with a smile and joy. We loved how they were considerate of all the little things and you can truly feel their sincerity when they’re working. We also asked them to take a picture of the food, which was presented so nicely on their cart. It was all great and we are definitely going back:)“
“We had a delicious vegan dinner here tonight at this tiny little strip mall Indian restaurant. Lean into the music and the decor and you feel like you must be traveling. Not a vegan restaurant per se, but plenty of vegan options. Two of us ordered one portion of Aloo Gobi, Eggplant Bharta, Dal Tarka, and basmati rice to share. The food is delicious, made to order and portions generous. We had enough leftovers to request a take out container. We'll be back!“

“A very pleasant surprise near Universal Studios. We found a nice Indian restaurant.This nice restaurant serves some good favorite Indian dishes that you would be familiar with. The spices are perfect.certainly enjoyable. Medium heat is perfect and may be geared for the spice lovers thus choose accordingly if you are more adventurous they have hot and very hot options.The decor is nice and cleanThe dining room was packed with customers tonight. They are well situated from their long history at this location. The pricing is reflective of all this and is very good value.You will be well satisfied.We’ll be back real soon Royal Curry“
“I was searching for a decent Indian restaurant just to have Pav Bhaji without keeping high hopes, since I’ve been here for a couple of weeks now and had no expectations regarding the quality of Indian food from local restaurants. However, let me tell you, when I reached there, I saw an option for an Indian Thali with 2 curries priced at just $14. Since a lot of Indian people were already having their dinner, I thought to give it a try, and I almost felt like I was having homemade food after such a long period. Everything was simple yet finger-licking tasty. Now it’s my favorite place, and I plan to order only from here whenever I’m in town.Value for money and amazing taste, do give it a try.“

“Hidden little gem in a plaza that looks uninviting on the outside but very cozy on the inside and serves authentic, large portion dishes. I ordered for pick up on Uber eats as they had a BOGO promotion on a variety of different combos. So, my boyfriend and I chose the chicken tikka masala that came with plain naan for only $18 for 2. The taste matched the amazing price point. The sauce was super rich and creamy with a hint of sweetness + tanginess and medium heat then topped with the well balanced spices that come along with Indian dishes. However, it was the service that caught my attention and triggered my desire to promote the business even more. I want to say it was the owner that had such a welcoming & kind character to him. When I ordered from here before, the combos used to come with drinks so I assumed the same with ordering this time around. We asked if they had forgotten our sodas and he softly explained "oh, I'm sorry. That was the old promotion we used to do but I don't mind giving you guys sodas. Thanks for being returning customers" with a sweet smile.Don't forget to support small businesses - this one is definitely a big worth it in my books!“
“Went to grab dinner here before a Laker game and absolutely loved it. We ordered the Mekhani chicken, basmati rice, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas and it was all delicious. We also had a mango lassi and masala tea, which were fantastic. The service was great, super kind man who chatted with us a bit. He kindly gave us some free dessert at the end, which was also delicious (I forgot what it was called but it was shredded carrot in a sweet milk with nuts. So good!). It is cash/Venmo only, so be prepared with either.“
“The staff was so accommodating and the biryana and masala were delicious, can't help but give this place 5 stars. As a vegetarian, my dish options were emboldened, rather than diminished. Would highly recommend if you're in the area and need to pick a spot to eat.“
“It's been a month since I had the Chicken Tikka Poutine and I still think about it fondly. Not only was the food the best thing I had in my Los Angeles trip, it traveled WONDERFULLY, managing to still be in restaurant condition after about 30 minutes of stewing in a takeout container.Excellent ingredients, prep, and clear research done on the best to-go packaging necessary to make a star dish edible on receipt. Cannot recommend enough.“
“Breakfast and lunch are great at Tray. Everything on the menu is delicious!! Top notch staff as well. The Buttermilk Fried chicken is a Wednesday favorite. They also recently added an amazing Torta to the menu. This place is a DTLA hidden gem!“
“Flavor of India in Burbank serves up some really tasty dishes, especially the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken. Their Samosas are a must-try too. It's a great spot for grabbing a quick bite or ordering food to go. The area is bustling with lots of other places to hang out like the mall orMovie theater, but this place stands out. Finding a parking spot is easy and free, with several options nearby, including a parking structure right next door. Whether you're looking to dine in or take out, this restaurant is a solid choice. The service is friendly, and the food never disappoints.“
“What a find! Not only a great place to buy spices and a great selection of Indian groceries, the food they serve is amazing. We had food from the buffet, some chaat, garlic naan and the Spring Dosi. Everything was delicious. I only wish we could have eaten more!!! Excellent food and Shashi was so helpful making suggestions and explaining a few of the items. Oh! I forgot to mention it is all vegitsrian & vegan.“
“Excellent delicious, fresh, healthy vegetarian food served in a highly uplifting atmosphere. Nice people, and fantastic location next to the Krishna temple. We also went to the Bhagavad Gita museum next door and thought that was fabulous. Will definitely return the next time we are in LA!“
“Usually I will write a long review but I'm going to keep it short and simple. EVERYTHING about this place is amazing. DELICIOUS FOOD everything on the menu that consists of chicken , vegetables, Nan bread, chutney, samosas SO good! I order from here alllll the time to go but I've dined here once and they give these things on the table to eat with different sauces. The people here are really awesome and the place looks super authentic and cute! Highly recommend to everyone :)“
“I had the opportunity to dine here twice while on a official trip. First day I arrived in Pasadena, I found the restaurant via Google map as it was close to where I was staying. Went for dinner and had the non-veg thali and mango lassi and absolutely loved the food from the first till the last bite. I actually ended up overeating - the food was so good! On the last day of my trip, i.e., today, again went back there for lunch as this was my last opportunity to eat there! Had chicken curry, rice and naan, and the mango lassi! Again I overate because the chicken curry is so tasty! Their spice level is just right - I asked for mild! Not just the food, the people are also amazing. Each time had a good conversation with Raj! If I ever come back to Pasadena, I'll be sure to visit again!“
“We had a great meal here! We were the only table there for about half of our meal on a Friday night which was such a shame because the food and service were so good! We had the samosa chaat, followed by the chicken roll and chicken biriyani. The samosa chaat was good, lots of flavor and textures. The chicken roll was delicious, made even better because of the bread. And the biriyani was definitely one of the most flavorful we've had. The vegetables in the biriyani and roll were still crisp and not overcooked! The person who served us was friendly and checked in on us a few times. We'll have to come back and try some new things.“
“Delicious food! Every dish was solid and exquisite. Overall, I think it's good food but not worth the price, considering how similar quality dishes could be found more accessibly at other indian places. Tried a variety of dishes: Co-li cauliflower - had a good coconut sauce, cauliflower had a good batter (could have been crispier), despite the menu saying "you cannot miss this", this definitely could have been skipped, especially since its a $20 appetizer Dahi puri - yum Samosas - good, but i can also get a similar quality for much cheaper, wasn't anything extra special Malai kofta - YUMMY, greaty creamy curry dish. Chef's kiss Garlic naan - soooo garlicy i love Kulcha - delicious as well, but not a must Mango lassi - good, ive had better, tbh tastes like the store bought ones“
“If you’re looking for good quality North Indian cuisine, this is your place. I’ve been coming to this place for quite some time now and it is by far one of my favorite Indian restaurants to frequent. Their Chicken Tikka Masala is a staple, and their Naan breads are exceptional. They have a range of traditional dishes on their menu at very reasonable prices. My vegetarian friends also love the options.This is a family owned restaurant and the staff couldn’t be more attentive. More often than not you will see the owner making his rounds and you can see how much pride he takes in his establishment. It’s definitely a must if you’re in the Burbank area, and it’s five stars hands down.“
“This place is the 1st Indian restaurant to make food that is tasty and non spicy! A real game changer for me as I can't handle spicy food at all. And although that did an extraordinary service to adjust that to suit me, it didn't lack flavour and authenticity. Delicious dishes, generous portions and lovely staff ?“

Everyone was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere is lovely, it's well decorated and cozy! I would definitely come back!“
“What a lovely establishment! Delicious, spice-rich food with incredible service (shout out to Mr. Nasir for the warm welcome and wonderful customer service!). In all, we had their vegetable samosas, zafron pilau rice, peshwari naan, chicken butter makhani, fish coconut meen molee, saag paneer, and mango lassi for drinks. The samosas: crispy exterior, piping hot and potatoey interior with flavorful spice, coupled with that amazing date and tamarind chutney! No words. True to their name, they don't skimp out on the cardamom, which wonderfully perfumes the zafron rice. Although heads up, make sure to search through the rice and pick out the cardamom pods or you're going to be punched in the face with spice intensity (speaking from experience...). My friend and I love spicy, so we requested just shy of their spiciest level for all three of our main dishes. That peshwari naan really heightened the experience with the curries, with its sweet and nutty filling counterbalancing the spicy and rich curries. As for the curries, creamy and flavorful. The fish was perfectly tender, and man, there's just something about coconut milk that just hits DIFFERENT with curries (in layman's terms, goes very well together). That saag paneer though: there's a reason why Indian cuisine specializes in vegetarian food. That's all I have to say. And the perfect accompaniment to all this rich, spice flavor bombs is an incredibly refreshing, smooth mango lassi. To conclude: just go, you'll enjoy your time there. It's a good amount of food, my friend and I were stuffed and had leftovers to spare. In terms of pricing, I would say that it's on the lower-midrange. We're definitely going back and trying out more from their diverse menu.“
