50 Best Indian Restaurants in Los Angeles

“I had a wonderful experience at Roots Indian Bistro. I reached quite late, even after closing hours, but the staff still welcomed and accommodated me so warmly without making me feel rushed at all.

The food was excellent, and to top it off, they even served complimentary kheer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. What stood out the most to me, though, was the hospitality. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, and one of the owners personally came over to check if everything was good and whether I was enjoying the meal.

Good food is memorable, but genuine hospitality is what truly makes a place special — and Roots absolutely excelled at that. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for not just great Indian food, but also an incredibly warm dining experience.“

“Super delicious and authentic Indian cuisine!“

“The food was amazing amazing service amazing chef‘s amazing cooks. Best in Los Angeles Indian food you will get prices are amazing. The butter chicken was amazing. Definitely would recommend it to whoever is visiting Los Angeles, California. Come get a taste of India“

“We went here for our 2nd anniversary, and now I feel this might be our all time favorite in LA! First, thanks to all of the staff who were part of our great evening, starting from giving us seats at a perfect spot, to the ones who handed us congratulatory cards and sparkling wine, each one of you deserve to be praised!

Their cocktail menu is by far the best I've tasted across different bars I, especially due to their Indian take on classic recipes! Sholay for the win!

The restaurant itself was so beautiful, paintings of classic Indian film moments, and each bite of our food was a special take on classic Indian dishes. The taste, portion & quality were exceptional. Kudos to the chef!

Will certainly be back here again!“

“The food at Star of India is excellent. They have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and standard items, all worth trying. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful.“

“BADMAASH never disappoints. Easily one of our go-to spots for modern Indian food in LA. Everything was amazing as always. The chaat was super refreshing, the chicken tikka was oo lala level yummy, and the cheese naan with the curry was absolutely outstanding. Perfect mix of bold flavors, comfort food, and a cool vibe. Always looking forward to coming back.“

“Excelente food and service. Big portions. You won’t leave hungry from here for sure…“

“My friend was in town & we were both in the mood for some delicious Indian cuisine decided to check this place out since it was in the area and boy are we glad we did!

The food and the energy and the vibes were all amazing! Will def be back! & can’t recommend enough if you are in the area :)“

“Highly recommend the Masala Paneer!!! The rich buttery sauce is by far the most flavorful I have ever had! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“What a fantastic meal. Everything we ordered was packed with bold, vibrant flavors. I particularly loved the presentation of the lamb chops, which arrived standing upright and topped with a beautiful, fresh purple orchid.

The portions were generous and the ingredients felt very high quality. Even the side salad was incredibly fresh and crisp. I am already looking forward to my next visit to this spot on Broadway.“

“yes great service. their food is always cooked at time of ordering. everything is fresh!“

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

“I dined in around 6pm on a Saturday and it was perfect. It’s a small place with a relaxed vibe. The place was empty when I arrived but quickly filled up while I ate my food. I got the garlic naan, the sag paneer, butter chicken and rice. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. The butter chicken was my favorite - incredible spices and I could tell it was cooked on the grill (my favorite cook). The service was fantastic - both servers were so nice and the owner even came to greet us and make sure everything was ok. I would absolutely come back and recommend to a friend.“

“Awesome atmosphere, service & food. The staff is excellent and you are given plenty of time to relax.“

“Just stopped by for my lunch break for the first time, the food is already prepped and warm similar to a Chinese food place so if you’re in a hurry this spot is amazing. They are also very generous with their portions and their prices are great. The lady who made my order was also very kind. Everyone seems to make their naan differently but this one was slightly greasy but delicious nonetheless including the chicken . Price for 2 portions, rice, and naan came out to 15 without the tip. Definitely recommend 👍“

“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!“

“Really yummy food 🥘 love it 😊 and grate Castmer service 👍“

“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.“

“Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. I dined in with the lamb tandoori tikkha with saag paneer, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was fresh and on point. The waitress was friendly and the ambience was clean with relaxing jazz piano playing. Highly recommended!“

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

“If you're a fan of flavorful, authentic biryani and crave a dining experience that perfectly blends tradition with modern flair,must-visit.“

“We catered for 20 people. Vijaywada Panner Biryani was amazing. It is a true taste like home. Will go again and order again.

Mukesh is the person who can help you with anything. He has a lot of experience in this, if you ask him, he will give great suggestions/options.“

“I can confirm. This is delicious Indian food.

Priced affordably. Do remember that they only accept venmo or cash.

The location is a bit strange in an old hotel, but there are signs to get you there no-issue.

All walls around you in the restaurant have expertly painted murals.“

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

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

“Best place ever“

“Govinda, the owner of this food truck, is a true hero. He runs this truck as a personal mission to do his part in battling food insecurity. His plates are priced at $5 (but really, this is a suggested donation and he never turns you away if you're in need).

Everything in the truck is vegan, partly due to his religious beliefs (Hare Krishna) and partly to accommodate every srudents' dietary preferences.

Each plate is packed with flavor, nutrition, and love. He runs a set menu for each day of the week. It always comes with a glass of lemonade and chips. Don't worry about the portion sizes. You're sure to leave satisfied.

But most importantly, the owner is a genuinely good person. He always stands outside his food truck, personally greeting customers and taking their orders. He takes great pride in his work and is always ecstatic to share updates about how his business is doing and how much he is helping his community. I've spoken to him many times and he understands the food insecurity crisis that students face, hence the pricing and proximity to UCLA. In order to break even, he must sell 70 plates daily, so please frequent this place as much as you can.“

“If you love Indian food, this is the place to be! The flavors are rich, and every dish is cooked to perfection. The ambiance is warm, and the service is excellent. My personal favorite is their biryani—so aromatic and delicious.“

“nice people, nice food, give us good mango dessert too, not to mention fast service❤“

“I’m really pleased and delightfully surprised! As someone who loves Indian cuisine, I was scared to order because of some of the one star reviews, but the food was GREAT! I got the medium chicken tikka masala which wasn’t too spicy so i’d move up spice levels if you like spice. The portions are generous and the chicken was tender, sauce was flavorful. The vegetable samosas were large and perfectly seasoned, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It comes with complimentary mint chutney and tamarind sauce too, which were so good. There is a BOGO deal on doordash which gives you so much bang for your buck. I highly recommend this place since it’s open late, and i’ll definitely be back!

Pickup was easy, and this location is a ghost kitchen so it’s take out only, but there is an attendant to help if you need it. The location was clean, organized, and has parking.“

“Who wanna go.....I’z hungry lawd🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽“

“One of the best gujju food in the town. Love their aloopoori and Vadapav. Must try.“

“We were a group of 2, ordered lamb and chicken biryani. Both were very delicious (a bit too spicy though we requested mild). Rice needed to be a bit drier than what was served, were told that it is how it's made in Northern India, it was so good, but wanted it to be drier :)“

“I live in Virginia and tried to place an order with a restaurant with a similar name. Somehow wires got crossed and the order was placed with this restaurant. When the food wasn’t picked up the restaurant went out of the way to track me down and reimburse the charge. This is a restaurant worth your businesses. Good people are sometimes hard to find and should be recognized!“

“Shout-out to Taj Mahal of India for staying consistently excellent.

My first time coming here was toward the end of the pandemic, and it immediately left an impression. I hadn’t been back in a couple of years, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Walking in and being greeted by the same familiar faces honestly made my day. That kind of continuity matters.

This place feels truly family-run in the best way. You can tell the team works well together, and that care translates directly to the food. Every single time, it exceeds expectations.

The butter chicken, curry vindaloo, tikka masala, garlic naan. No notes. And trust me when I say this: you must order extra of everything. Non-negotiable.

Grateful this spot continues to do what it does so well. Still a favorite, still worth the return.“

“লাস্ট দিন সব ধরনের গ্রিল আর নান ট্রাই করছিলাম। একটা গ্রিল এভারেজ লাগছে। বাকিগুলা ভাল ছিল। প্লেটিংও ভাল ছিল। বাট আজ ফুচকা ট্রাই করলাম। সিরিয়াসলি ইট ওয়াস ব্লাস্ট!!! এত জোস ছিল বলার বাইরে!!! খালি টকটা গরম দিলে ভাল হত.. বাকিটা জোস ছিল। ২ প্লেট শেষ করে আবার অর্ডার করছি!! 😍🥰😋😋 দেশের বাইরে দেশি খাবারের স্বাদ পেলে কার না ভাল লাগে।!!“

“Kasturi is the best! service is great and everyone is lovely. You'll feel right at home with how comforting the food is and how friendly the staff are. I’m Hispanic and eat hear often, every dish I’ve tried is so flavorful and tender. Quality is top tier and you can tell the food is made with passion. If you don’t know what to order or are new to this type of food, don’t be scared to ask, the employees are very helpful. Id strongly recommend stopping by if you are looking for a place to eat on your own or with friends and family. The space is warm, lively and definitely worth visiting.“

“My girl and I have been here twice. To put into perspective how much we like it. We drove up from tucson, Az for the day and decide we needed to go here again. Amazing service, Very quiet, the temperature in the building is perfect and the seating is comfortable. Most importantly the food. The food is on another level. Full of flavor/spices, hot and very filling. Will be back!“

“Came to visit Los Angeles for the weekend and stumbled across this Plaza across from my Hotel Intercontinental.
Wow Saffron Indian food. ... amazing flavor for a fast food Curry chicken must visit for warm home cooked. I'm A filipina lady and love my delicious filipino food but Indian food always good to!!!!“

“I have been a long time customer of Chutney’s on Pico and Barrington in West La. The food is wonderful and the owner and staff are very pleasant to interact with. Highly recommended when you are in the mood for excellent quality Indian food!“

“I had a great experience at Saffron Indian Restaurant! I ordered the chicken tikka masala noodles, and they were absolutely delicious. The chicken was tender, the tikka masala sauce was rich and flavorful, and the noodles made for a fun twist on a classic dish. Everything tasted fresh and was well-seasoned without being overpowering. The portion size was generous, and the staff was friendly and welcoming. I’ll definitely be coming back to try more items on the menu. Highly recommend!“
