“Great service. Decor was chic. Service on point, not rushed. Great place for a date.“

“I read good reviews so we thought would go and give a try. Well the family and I had fantastic meal. My husband had a goat fish and said was very flavorful and tasty. For the kids (8, 11)we got a mild Lamb Korma and Butter chicken. With these I confirmed that they would be mild enough for the kids. The butter chicken and lamb korma even though was ordered as mild (no spice at all to it) it had an absolutely amazing flavor to it- perfect for kids. Now I have had a lot of butter chicken and hands down this was the best I have ever had. The chicken fried rice we ordered was very tasty as well. Highlight for my husband was the beer from India. He said it was very nice and complimented the food nicely.“

“I really like this place the food is authentic ambience is great and the people here are super friendly. They offer samples they have desserts and Traditional Indian drinks. I already tried them three times in last 15 days they’re always spot on so I highly recommend anybody who wants to try Indian food“

“Recently had a favorite restaurant for malai kofta in another state and am happy to say theirs tops it!!! Malai kofta medium spice is perfect spice level not to ruin the creaminess but still give aromatic kick. Go mild if you need to. Authentic homemade style. Must come back to try more of the menu. Excellent attentive friendly service.“

“I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. The menu is vast, there are options for vegetarians and meat eaters. North Indian, South Indian, and Specialty recipes you can only get here. Plus if you want to try traditional Indian beer, there are so many options for everyone to try. The staff is so nice and the design of the restaurant is incredible. Definitely swing by. You won’t be disappointed.“

This is one of the best restaurants ever ever ever… in LA. It’s so tasty that I want to revisit every weekend. Even though the service boy was busy still he approached spoke nicely and helped me. Had an amazing time with amazing delicious food ??“

“Delicious food, friendly staff, good service“

“Great all around food choices with excellent quality! All the staff are personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. Great service with great prices!! Love Appu’s“

“I come here once a month to stock up on Indian food. The frozen curries are enough for 2 or 3 meals each with rice. the samosas are great and the lentil soup or dal is great for protein! I'll also buy a masala Dosa or idli's to eat with a mango lassie before going home. It's a great deal!“

“Really good food and nice decor. Unlike most Bangladeshi restaurants in southern california the ambience is clean and presentable. We went on a monday for brunch and had paratha with goat curry, Begun bhaji and mixed veggies. The goat curry was heavenly and the paratha was really good. The cooking style has a home cooked feel to it. Highly recommend it.“

“I recently dined at this amazing Indian restaurant, and it was an unforgettable experience! The service was top-notch – friendly and attentive staff who made sure we had everything we needed. The food was absolutely delicious, from the perfectly spiced butter chicken to the flavorful biryani. Each dish was cooked to perfection, and the naan was soft and fresh. The ambiance was warm and inviting, with elegant decor and soft lighting that created a cozy atmosphere. I can’t wait to return for another delightful meal!“

“The waitress was super nice to me, I got a mango lassi , and some chicken and goat curry . It was so yummy. And she was so friendly 😁👍 , as I had an exhausting week 🤧😭. Made my day 😁 by her friendliness and great food .“

“The food was tasty but there were some disappointments- we asked very clearly for very spicy and I made it clear that my wife is from Thailand and we are both accustomed to eating extremely spicy food. The food was not very spicy at all. I was disappointed by the lack of condiments and chutneys and also disappointed they brought so much bread at once and never offered fresh, so it was no longer warm and crispy by the time we finished. These are things I would overlook at a budget restaurant but this isn’t a budget restaurant. The food was good but I don’t think we’ll be back“

“After a traumatizing experience in a nearby Dosa restaurant, we were very skeptical to try Bhimas Veg (for which we had a lot of recommendations from our friends) Tried yesterday, it was a breath of fresh air! AUTHENTIC REAL SAMBHAR!! We ordered Gobi Manchurian as a starter and tried Idli Sambhar, ghee masala dosa, gajar (carrot) halwa, madras tea and filter coffee. Each dish was 10/10. Our server Mr. Devi Karki was so professional, attentive and friendly. Each staff seemed to love their work and were attending to all their customers. Hands down the best Sambhar in the town!! Would definitely come back very often!!! And by the way Tirupathi Bhimas and Bhimas Indian Veg is the same restaurant!!

Vegetarian options: All menu is vegetarian.

Parking: It was good“

“The cuisine was top notch and the service was even better. Pure and authentic Panjabi. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“Went to the US for a holiday 2 years ago and still to this day talk about this restaurant! In Love!!! Amazing food, kind employees. I will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later :) yummmm“

“This is a restaurant specialize in Southern Indian cuisine, which is 100% vegetarian but not vegan. Unassuming with friendly waitstaff, highly recommended. Some dishes can be quite spicy, please consult with the waiter about the degree of spiciness of a particular dish.“

“We tried Daal Bati during Diwali of 2024. It was quite yummy. Lot of Rajasthani options available and loved it for its ambience. The garlic chutney served with the dish is really tasty (and spicy too).

Parking: Finding parking is a hassel.“

“Excellent customer experience“

“My favourite place ever the food is really good and highly recommended for chats and there specialties like saag makki di roti also chole bhature I love that as they remind me the Taste of my State Punjab .. Gonna come again with my friends ❤️ Most importantly thanks for the service as she (Reshma) is too Frank and explains everything in the menu it helped me to chose easily for my lunch .“

“Went here the other day to try it for the first time! I tried a two-combination plate with one vegetable curry, one chicken and cilantro curry, rice, and a side of garlic naan. It was delicious! I'd say the pricing is worth the quality, as it was incredibly tasty, fresh, and good portion sizing. I also got a mango lassi drink; definitely don't regret it!
Service was wonderful too, the staff is very friendly and amiable and I hope to be back again soon. :)“

“Shepherd’s Pie & fish & chips are amazing! The drink & service was awesome! I can’t wait to go back!“

“A small and unpretentious restaurant on Naples Island that was empty when we first arrived around 6:30 but was half full soon after. Our server was super friendly, attentive and even made suggestions about ordering food with how much "heat" ?

We started with vegetable samosa that were tender and larger than expected. Then moved on to Shrimp Vindaloo and Vegetable Zalfarezi. The Shrimp was a bit over done but the Vindaloo sauce was some of the best I've had with just the right amount of heat. The Zalfarezi was a great combo of tender peas, carrot, onions and potatoes in an equally tasty curry. And hats off to the softest yet crunchy in the right places naan that was piping hot (yeah!). And they do take-out too!!

Definitely the place if your craving good, hearty Indian food.“

“Bhimas Indian Vegetarian offers a satisfying South Indian dining experience with a few quirks.

Food: The food was enjoyable across the board. The dosas were crisp and flavorful, the idly was soft and fresh, and the chutneys and sambar were well-prepared and authentic. It’s a solid choice for anyone craving traditional South Indian flavors.

Service: The service was good—efficient and friendly, with the staff ensuring a pleasant dining experience.

Ambience: The ambience was welcoming and clean, making it a comfortable spot for a relaxed meal.

Menu: The inclusion of “vegan” items on the menu initially surprised us, but the “fake chicken” was a bit confusing. While it’s great that they cater to different preferences, it would be better if the menu made these items more clearly distinguishable to avoid misleading diners.

Vegetarian options: Somewhat confusing menu, but still good“

“Wow, first time trying this place and I’m so happy I did. Best donuts and strawberry & crème croissant/whatever it was, ever! One of the donuts was a hybrid glaze/cinnamon roll donut…amazing! I just finished eating everything and my mouth is watering just typing this out right now. Highly recommend this place! So good!“
