Authentic Indian flavours we tried lunch plate and 4 dishes between the 2 of us, all tasted good: saag paneer, chicken and lamb curry and dhal. All extra green and red chili sauces were tangy and fresh. The only minor point was rice was not basmati but it’s nice they offered a brown rice option. Highly recommend for a quick tasty lunchVegetarian options: Chickpea or saag curry

Corporate Indian food, lacks the spice and flavor of the real deal. Also fairly expensive and the naan is small.

Great little place for lunch. Tried the bowl with Chicken Tikka and Garlic Naan. I also grabbed the cilantro lime for the Naan. All was great for a quick lunch. Definitely going back.

I ordered the combo plate with chicken tikka masala and saag paneer, which was about $13. For plenty of actual food with nutritional value at this price, it’s a good deal. The restaurant is kept clean and the service is good.However, the food itself was unimpressive. I’m no Indian food expert but I felt like every dish was missing something. Plus, the curries were all too oily and lacked strong flavors. The naan was alright and they have some nice chutneys and other sauces available.Overall, mediocre food for a decent price. Not a terrible lunch but I would only come back here if I had very few other options.

Probably the least flavorful Indian food I ever had in my life. I love Indian food so I was deepest disappointed that this place was once and done.

Got the lunch special on Ritual. It was very watery chicken tikka masala. Saag paneer was better since it wasn't watery, but both lacked flavor still.

The taste is awful. Never eaten so tasteless Indian cookery. Waste of food and money.

Pretty solid Indian food spot in DTLA! Got the chicken tikka masala bowl and felt like it was pretty solid of a meal. Didn't feel super authentic, but overall pretty good. Will come back and try the other dishes

Mediocre. If you need a spin to your quick meals during your lunch hour on your work days. This isn’t a bad spot.

Used to be great before pandemic. Now everything is a watered down tasteless mess. No flavor and 2x the price. Was so happy to be working DTLA again to eat there but never again.

The quality of food has gone down substantially. Ordered chicken tikka masala and curry and both dishes are watery and just small chicken pieces boiled in gravy. Surprisingly the chicken tika masala has no tika and only hard boiled chicken.

The curry is watery and that grossed me out. friendly and fast service, but the food is not good (especially relative to the great Indian restaurants in LA)

Went here on first day working in downtown LA. Cashier was really friendly, food was served really fast and it was delicious. Planning to go back soon ??

Billy L.

So watered down it isn't even funny. Didn't stick to the spoon, didn't stick to the rice and basically just made the naan instantly soggy. I totally get that this is mall food... But please just pick something else.
