Indian Restaurants near Lomita

“Don't miss out on this hole in the wall tasty Pakistani and Indian Halal cuisine. Despite having three signs displayed in front of their building, it's really easy to miss because it's located on PCH, unless you happen to stop because of the nearby traffic lights. I'm always looking for mom and pop businesses to support and happened to be in the area and saw this spot. Prices are very fair and portions are generous. They even have lunch specials that are available from Tues-Thurs and other daily specials that you don't want to miss. They have plenty of indoor space and even have a gorgeous outdoor patio seating. Unfortunately, it was quite hot that day so I opted to sit indoors.|| L O C A T I O N / P A R K I N G ||-Closest cross streets are PCH and Appian Way-Parking is available in the rear. You want to turn into the entrance as soon as you pass by the nail and hair salon. We passed by it thinking that we could just park in the next available entrance but that was not parking for that plaza.-Came on a Friday at noon and the lot was probably 70% full.|| F O O D / D R I N K S ||Mango Lassi ($4.00) - So smooth and delicious. Not too sweet!Potato Samosa ($4.00/4pcs) - So crispy and pairs super well with their green sauce! They also offer beef samosas but I wanted to try something without meat since my main dishes were heavy on meat.Chicken Tikka Masala ($13.99) - A classic Indian dish that I always order. What I liked about theirs was that it was so creamy and flavorful. We opted for a mild spice level and it was perfect. If you want to go for a spicier kick, medium would be a spice option to go with. Like many Indian restaurants, it doesn't come with rice or naan and will have to be ordered separately.Garlic Naan ($2.99) - Garlic Naan is always a must for me. Theirs was freshly made and the most fluffy naan that I've ever had. Do yourself a favor and make sure to order extra because one order is not going to be enough for two people. I made sure to order one naan for each person in my party.Special Chicken 65 ($15.99) - Decided to try something new and saw that many fellow Yelpers posted about this. It's chicken mixed with tangy and garlic sauce. The tanginess isn't too strong which was perfect for me. It pairs extremely well with rice or naan. Definitely recommend it if you're looking to try something new.Lamb Pulao (FRIDAY SPECIAL $14.99) - Our server recommended this daily special dish and since we were a fan of lamb, we decided to go for it. The portion is extremely generous. You can order one for yourself or share with at least one or two other people. Since it comes with a large portion of rice, I ended up saving some of that rice to go with my chicken tikka masala. Usually with lamb, there is a certain smell/odor that I don't like if it's not cooked properly but I was so pleasantly surprised that I could barely distinguish that odor. The meat was so tender that it came off the bone pretty easily.“

“I stumbled across this place while waiting for my tire to get fixed next door, I was pleasantly surprised with my meal. I ordered Chicken Pad See Ew let me tell you, this dish is pretty common to order at Thai restaurants but they nailed it! So flavorful and great portion size for the price. Definitely coming back here, P.S the staff is super friendly and I didn't feel rushed to place my order like I feel at other places.“

“Tried this new place out. We had the all you can eat lunch special. There were definitely some pros/cons.The pros were: excellent food (especially the butter chicken), great naan! Price was reasonable at $19 per person. Easy to park with no extra cost. Dessert was good but they only had a fruit salad NO sweet rice or NO gulab jamun (which I normally looooove to eat at other Indian restaurants). Good service, the waiter was kind.The cons: the atmosphere could have been more upbeat, it was very quiet (no music playing), they ran out of the dish we loved so we had to wait an extra 15-20 minutes before they brought more out and the rice was limited; I think we could have asked for more but we ended up just using what they gave us.“

“We were tourist to LA and found this great restaurant by the reviews on Google and it lived upto our expectations. Great food , ambience and most importantly great customer service. Couldn’t ask for more. We went for dinner and came back for lunch the following day due to the food being very tasty. Lunch buffet was very good and price was very reasonable. Tandoori fish is a must try.Would definitely recommend this restaurant.“

“Food is absolutely delicious! The staff & service are really good! I imagine precovid it was a restaurant with some ambience but it's just a bare bones place now that seems to do a ton of takeout. Definitely try if you have not! The food will not disappoint!!“

“Actually found this place by accident, I was going to eat next door but ended up going here instead because it smelled so good. Delicious food and great friendly customer service!! This is definitely my new go to spot for Indian food! Check it out you won't be disappointed!“

“Had a delicious meal here. Used Google to select this restaurant and it didn’t disappoint.We had the chicken tikki masala and chicken voodol and both were excellent. Service was very attentive and quick.We did order garlic naan and either they brought us regular naan or it wasn’t very garlicky. But it was still yummy.“

“Their goat curry is very rich and they choose delicate and delicious cuts of it for the curry. Great flavor in many of the food there.I enjoy their basmati rice, goat curry, mint chaay, pickled veggies, and fresh food!! I always like getting my weekend drink freebie of the super creamy Mango Lassi!Very quick service. They do their best to get you warm naan, cold water, and clean tables to get more food. Servers are quick to seat you and take care of your table. They are also very helpful especially when I needed anything.Hope to see this place stays open as it has been for over 50 years!“

“Indian food is my favorite food so I am very picky about it. I love this place! The food was so good and I am so happy now that I found this place. I got chicken Tika masala (medium spicy) with garlic and plain naan. This meal took back to the first time I ate Indian food. I would suggest ordering extra naan I always do.“

“Been to this restaurant 2X already. Love the food here. If you are looking for authentic Indian food I would recommend going to this restaurant. A Nepali family runs this restaurant and they were really nice. Great customer service. Their portion of food was very good. I would recommend trying out their chicken momos and get it spicy. Absolutely delicious. We would definitely go there again.“

“Another long-overdue review. Indian Summer is consistently good over the past 2 decades I've been visiting. I really miss their sit-down location. Even though it's just takeout now, the food quality is just the same. Excellent Korma, Masala, & Rice! We love getting the large size and having leftovers throughout the week. Last time I ordered online, I remember it being a bit clunky, so I recommend ordering over the phone.“

“April Food Explorer club wanted to learn about Indian food and culture. So we headed to India Sweets & Groceries. Our group of four loved it. This was the first time for some of them to try Indian food. This is a simple Indian grocery store and we enjoyed looking at the foods available to take home and cook with. Snacks looked great! There are a few tables between the buffet and the grocery aisles. The People serving our food were helpful and supportive as we asked lots of questions. They explained things to us. The customers were also kind and helpful and shared their suggestions for what to order. Some of our favorites were the rice, samosas, Dahi Vada and Palak Paneer. You can not beat the price. We had more then enough food for four people and it was $30.00. This place is not fancy but great for great food and family friendly. We will all return on own and look forward to sharing this treat with our friends.“

“I visit there twice a week to get my desi groceries, and often eat there as well. For the price, location, cuisine and quantity, their food is UNBEATABLE. Highly recommended.You can also buy spices, incense, fresh vegetables, snacks, etc.Kid-friendliness: They give free lollipops to kids.“

“1st time ever trying Indian Food. My cousin recommended this place so we went! Employee was very friendly & helpful, he recommended a few dishs for being a 1st timer (butter chicken, tandoori chkn) etc...But I went with the Lamb Karahi *spicy* (def picked the perfect 1st meal and their spicy was just right!) Btw dont forget to add Naan bread and Rice to your order!! Itll def take it to another level...i will def be back to try other dishs, Esp the Pizzas!!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“

“I took our family there for dinner with Groupon. We aren't familiar with Indian food. Everything we ordered was good. Very delicious and inexpensive. We ordered samosa and fries with mixed veggies, Butter chicken, eggplant, spanish with cheese, teki kabab, veggies basmati, nan, roti, and rice pudding. However, we don't really like Indian beer and Indian ice tea. The mango smoothie was good. I gave 3 stars for the atmosphere because they don't turn on the air conditioner in the summer. It was very hot. We are eating and sweating.“

“I did not know that this police existed until I searched on Google and I am pleasantly surprised. The food is great. There was a lot of space and I also found out that this establishment has been open for 18 years so that definitely speaks to the longevity and quality. I also learned that this is a hotspot for a lot of local people who work in the area because their buffet is pretty stellar, so I’m looking forward to checking out the buffet during lunch at some point. Certainly a spot I will come back with some friends. Glad I found it.Vegetarian options: Great vegan optionsParking: Street parking is sufficientKid-friendliness: Very kid friendly“

“Second time to Al Watan. You don't come here for the ambience or service but for the food. Overall I would said the food is good as we tried the different number of dishes. We tried the tandoori platter, samosa and lamb and chicken briyani. It was an enjoyable meal especially with 6 of us sharing the meal.“
