I’m not really sure what the hype is about this place. There’s no effort in the ambiance inside at all, it’s super dark and there’s this projector showing some old Indian movie to a crowd of a bunch of people not even interested in watching it, and the food is not great at all.
We ordered the butter chicken samosas, the chicken tikka poutine, the mussels curry and the ghost lamb curry and there isn’t a single dish I would recommend. As the chicken poutine would get cold, the gravy would turn gooey, the mussels curry tasted nothing Indian and there’s no effort put into the lamb curry at all. And the worse part was the chai. This place is overly priced and the service wasn’t even great as well. As someone who eats a lot of Indian food, especially at home, I’ll never return here again.
(I’ve uploaded pictures of the food with my review but don’t let the looks deceive you).

I’ve been eating here for a few years and I’ve never been disappointed. Great service and even better food. Do yourself a favor and always order the chai and chili cheese naan with every meal! Whether you’re ordering traditional or fusion, you can’t go wrong.

"Expensive yet Average"

We 4 adults and a 5YP kod had lunch for $190. Gratuity charged for party of 4+ !!

Average overall. Rated 2 off 5 because of high price for average food and experience.

Food is of good taste but small/fair portions.

About average size & ambience of dining space.

Staff are decent but waiting time was longer!

Oh my goodness. I love and recommend the channa masala or dal makhani and the chai -- this restaurant is the best food downtown. So great.

Not your traditional Indian food restaurant but I really wanted to try the poutine and that was very good and filling. My standout dish was the fried fish appetizer that had delicious flavor. Butter chicken with naan was the most traditional and tasty. This is a good modern fusion restaurant. A little dark and loud but that's the vibe they want, I went with my dad who wanted a little bit more traditional fare but he still thought the food was good. Pricing was fair for the area but definitely a little bit of a splurge. Went on a weeknight without a reservation and was able to get a seat, No problem. I could see they're being a wait on busier days.

This will forever be my go-to spot for authentic Indian/Fusion food in Los Angeles! We came as a small party and were craving some good authentic Indian food, and of course, everyone has become picky these days, but I'll tell you one thing, Badmaash is not going to disappoint!

Excellent customer service, savory tastes of back home. Very charismatic staff and management. Well presented dishes.

We must've tried 10+ different items on the menu. There are so many options to choose from, and everything with its own unique, taste, smell, and visually appealing. There's something for everyone, whether it be a quick juicy burger, a light snack, or a spread for your family or friends. The Chicken Tikka Poutine, the Butter Chicken Curry, the naan, the Kabobs, Samosas, we enjoyed it all so much. Even the desserts were on point!

If you're in town, this is one place everyone must check out. Hats off to the owners. They know what they're doing, and they really care about their customers! Even Sebastian, who can forget, what a pleasure to deal with him and everyone else.

I know good hospitality when I see it, but these guys were just GREAT! Beyond words, truly. I will gladly be back again for more!

Thank you for your unique experience.

The food is absolutely amazing. I drive nearby 45 minutes from the east side just to have their Tika masala. My favorite dish at this restaurant!

I these days dined at BADMAASH in Downtown LA, and it was a first-rate experience. The restaurant’s cutting-edge, present-day atmosphere with Indian pop culture accents created an amusing and lively ecosystem. I tried the BADMAASH Fried Chicken, which had the proper blend of spices and crunch. The Masala Potato Fries were a flavorful twist on a traditional, and the Butter Chicken became rich, creamy, and virtually delicious. Paired with their gentle, warm naan, every dish changed into a pleasure. BADMAASH is a first-rate spot for ambitious Indian flavors in a groovy, lively setting. I'll without a doubt be again!

This was our first visit here. Shame we don’t live closer as it would definitely be a weekly staple. All the food was delicious. Some were not very traditionally Indian, but the twist on them didn’t stop the flavours. It was very busy during the lunchtime we were there. The server was on his own but worked very hard to accommodate everyone.
