“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!“
“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.“
“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“
“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.“
“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 “
“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“
“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“
“We were looking for an authentic desi food, and loved it. The place or ambience is a fast food place one, more for a carry out orders. . We ordered Goat Paya curry, Goat biryani, Chicken biryani, naan, mango lassi( really tasty), and Mixed grill. The proportion size is great. Courtesy of the owner, Karim bhai was superb, served us complimentary Ras malai. Their chai is good too.They have fresh samosas too.Tomas at the front cashier counter is also a kind lady. Overall, great experience.Pricing is reasonable too.“
“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“
“You must come here. One of my new favorite restaurants. Everything was full of flavor but not overpowering. All of the food was fresh, even the gulab jamun (dessert donut ball in syrup) was still very warm. The service was wonderful and the inside of the restaurant is very nice. Try the combo plate and the indian beer!!“
“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!“
“Casual atmosphere, but the food in this place is as good as the best food available in Northern India. It's a hidden treasure created by a talented, caring, and creative Punjabi chef.We ordered bhindi masala, chicken korma, shrimp tandoori, yellow dal, plain basmati rice, garlic naan, and plain naan. Everything was perfectly cooked and seasoned. You don't need to (and you won't want to) add anything to any dish (spicy peppers, pickles, salt, sauce), because the chef has thought of everything, and done everything exactly right.The bhindi (okra) is simply seasoned and has an earthy, smoky flavor, accompanied by other carefully chosen vegetables that enhance and don't overpower the bhindi. The chicken korma is tender and very tasty. The perfectly succulent shrimp tandoori is accompanied by delicious broccoli also cooked in the tandoor, and the dish arrives at your table still steaming. The yellow dal is especially delicious, as are the breads.Overall, a great and unexpected eating experience. Highly recommended.Parking: You can park in the parking spots reserved for the strip mall.“
“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.“
“Great food, great service.Mukesh was a good host taking care of our order. This restaurant will be on my list to visit again and again whenever in LA. Restaurant success is to hear its customers' needs and service them accordingly, and Abhiruchi does that with a smile.“
“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 :)“
“Food is amazing here! I love butter chicken and have tried it from several place around LA, and this one takes the take! I usually order through DoorDash but I came in this time and the service was incredible. Small little restaurant but the kitchen cranks out an impressive meal. Love.“
“My friend and I came to Tara's because she had heard good things about the restaurant from multiple people. We came in not really sure what to expect, and left with very happy bellies. The food was good and the portions were huge for the price. I got the butter chicken and asked them to swap the dark meat for white meat which they were able to do. It was quite the savory treat! My friend got the Daal Bhat Tarkari with Garlic Tofu and was happy with her choice as well. We also got an extra side of rice and some garlic naan bread to share and had plenty of leftovers to have for lunch the next day. The restaurant has a very cozy feel to it and our waitress was a total sweetheart. Tara's is the perfect place to come for some warm food on a cold night. I can't wait to come back!“
“First time trying from this local restaurant and ordering for a party. It did not disappoint from the flavor to the service they provided. Ordering was easy over the phone and the staff was so friendly they helped bring the food to the car. I would definitely order again for all my party needs. All my guests loved the food so much from Mexicans to Filipinos ????“
“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.“
“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!“
“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.“
“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.“
“This place has such amazing food! It's definitely not a fancy place to eat but the foods hand down beats any fancy restaurant I've dined at. It's simple food but it so well prepared, it almost feels like home made comfort food. My buddies & I drive here almost every weekend from Long Beach to pick up food at this place.“
“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!“
“Consistently good food. Nihari is delicious, every chicken dish i’ve had has been great, I can’t wait to try the biryani and haleem. The guys working are always very nice and helpful and it’s a fun place to be. only issue is parking but it’s not their fault.“
“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!“
“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!“
“Pretty good food, I liked the Thali with Karahi Paneer, Vegetable Soup and Vegetable Biryani. The food is flavorful no doubt about it, goes to show how good Chef Patel is and he’s been in business for quite sometime now. Portions are good enough and I also liked that you could order the same Entrees as a “side” within reasonable amount. It’s right across of Whole Foods so parking would be validated if you happen to do grocery shopping after your meal, which you might like as an idea, given the food will appreciate some good walk after.Vegetarian options: Vegetable Soup, Vegetable thali with 1 Entree comes with Samosa, Dal, Rice, Salad, Gulab JamunParking: Nearest would be the road side parking spots, free after 8pm which also means it’ll be difficult to find those spots right after 8. Better option is the whole food parking lot, specially if you happen to do some groceries after mealsWheelchair accessibility: Accessible“
“This Indian vegetarian restaurant offers a delightful dining experience with authentic flavours. The menu is diverse, lot of chat options and one of the best samosa chat i have had in a long time. Highly recommended for anyone craving for delicious vegetarian Indian cuisine.“
“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.“
“We loved this the best an Indian foods in town ? ?we have keeping coming this restaurant for over 20 years.If you wanting the best an Indian foods this is the place.

“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!“
“From March 2024:Every dish our group of four had was delicious and distinct. The portions were smaller than most places, which is not a bad thing, but of course in LA a smaller meal means it costs more. Definitely worth saving up some of your money to try however.The music was too loud and genre did not fit the scene, bordering on the line of nightclub atmosphere. Perhaps I'm just old.All things considered it's a unique place worthy of trying, but be prepared to yell across your table in order to hear.“
“We ordered 2 curries, hara bhara kabab and rotis. We really liked the fact that one can customize the spice level for each dish!The pricing for the items was reasonable compared to other Indian restaurants in LA. We did not see any issues with quantity and quality of the food. 3 curry dishes were sufficient to feed 4 people well!“
“Wow! What a great find! Everything tasted so fresh! We got Butter Chicken, Lamb Shank and Alugobi as well as the mixed appetizer! My fav was the butter chicken! The service was excellent. Everyone was so kind and attentive. The atmosphere is lovely, it's well decorated and cozy! I would definitely come back!“
“Order at the cashier, have a seat and they'll serve to you... I bought a plate of Basmati white rice and Lamb dish; it cost me $12.60. free water available. This shop sells Indian, Pakistani, Bengali, South East Asian groceries, fresh Asian vegetables, frozen fish and meats. A single restroom is available.Parking: Park at adjacent plaza and walk a few stepsKid-friendliness: Counter cushioned seatsWheelchair accessibility: A bit tight but possible“
“Ambiance and service are not why you go here. You go here for absolutely exquisitely delicious biryani! Boneless chicken is my favorite so far, but I don't think you can go wrong with the signature dish here. The flavors are rich dense and complex tastes even better the second day - if you can resist eating it all right away If you like drinking your beverage out of a glass, you're going to have to bring your own. The food is nicely plated, but water is served up in plastic bottles“
“My husband is from India, so we have eaten a lot of flavorful foods. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meal here. We ordered the five taco plate and sides of corn, mom‘s beans, the vegetarian beans, potatoes with chorizo, corn, and rice. We also tried the coconut rose milk lime drink, and the cucumber salad . My husband, especially like the jeera chicken and corn. I loved the Carne Asada and goat tacos. The green sauce is fabulous. The fresh house made corn tortillas also really take the tacos to the next level. We really enjoyed our meal here. Kudos to the owners for taking such an interesting fusion risk and executing it well.“
