“My husband and I stop by for brunch and had my sister in law and her husband join us. They do offer and American style breakfast options, regardless everything we had was delicious.

“authentic and really just fantastic South Indian food“

“2nd time going here and it was just as delicious as the first time! The staff is very friendly and one particular man was really informative on each dish and which spice level is best for you. Food came out and was full of flavor! Definitely worth the drive.“

“My friends and I loved our experience at Baar Baar. Unfortunately it was raining like crazy on the day we had reservations for but that didn't stop us. We arrived to a rather empty restaurant (probably due to the rain). Staff took care of us right away seating us and explaining the menu. We had heard that they're known for their cocktails so we each ordered a different one. All of them were really good and I can see why people say their cocktails are good. The bar is also really impressive if you just wanted to come for a drink. All the cocktails are named after famous Indian movies which was really cute. For the food, we opted into the prix fixe menu (all parties at your table must participate) but it was perfect because the menu had a lot of their most popular items that we would've wanted to order and try anyways. We did end up ordering 2 extra items - the lamp chops as well as the jalapeno cheese naan. It ended up being more than enough food but everything was so good and we were so happy to try it all. The puri puri amuse bouche was SO GOOD! The avocado bhel appetizer dish was also surprisingly good. The traditional butter chicken with the saffron rice was classic but delicious and I loved the seabass fish as well as the jalapeno cheese stuffed naan. I normally don't care for beans but I can see why the Black Dairy Dal is $15!! It was so flavorful and a must get. Both the dessert options (Gulab jamun cheesecake and Strawberry Cassata) were yummy too. Not too sweet for both.“

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

“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!“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

“I recently dined at Cardamom Indian Cuisine, and it was fantastic! The ambiance was warm and inviting. I started with crispy samosas, followed by the rich chicken tikka masala, paired perfectly with freshly baked naan. The service was attentive and friendly. For dessert, the mango lassi and gulab jamun were delightful. Overall, Cardamom offers a wonderful dining experience with delicious food. Highly recommend!“

“Delicious! I like just the right spice and just the right seasoning. I’ve tried other places nearby and usually it can be kind of greasy after taste. This food is filling for the right price and cooked just right without feeling oily afterwards.“

“chicken biriyani is so flavorful. tandoori chicken and naan combo tastes so good. Chat with owner for about 25 min and they have been in business at this location for over 30 years. if they're not good, they won't last this long.“

“Delicious Indian food, outstanding service and friendly staff.“

“Love the chicken masala and the vegan and vegetarian choices. When you want to cut in meat and start a new healthier diet, you must try them out.“

“yum yum entree, naan, rice, and everything“

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

“I've been going to Gill's for years. Everything I've had here has been over the top good. The flavors are amazing. The tandoori chicken is perfectly seasoned and smoky. All the curry based dishes are incredibly tasty. The coconut chicken is spot on. The average dish is $12-$15...what a deal! The restaurant is way in the back of the very old Stillwell Hotel. I happened to walk in once when they were unloading their groceries. LOTS of boxes of fresh produce. Not a bunch of canned and frozen stuff. That explains a lot of why the food is so good here. If you like Indian food, this is the place to go...and such a bargain!“

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!!!!“

“Nice place to be excellent in their services“

“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 lunch

Vegetarian options: Chickpea or saag curry“

“I am a vegan on Covid lockdown and was craving some kofta for delivery, but all the local Indian restaurants make it with paneer. Finding this restaurant with a vegan menu that delivers was a treasure. Most Indian food is too spicy for me, but here I was able to choose the level of heat from mild, medium or spicy. Other Indian restaurants interpret “mild” as no seasoning at all but my Kofta, Desi Chole, Samosa and Baingan Bhuna were perfectly seasoned to my taste, a wonderful blend of dish individualized curry spices with just enough heat to slightly warm without harm. Also, it was not greasy at all, unlike the local places where the veggies are swimming in oil. I wish the rice dishes were made with brown basmati rice but plain brown rice can be ordered as a side, as it I didn’t have a lot of it cooked in the freezer already. The prices seem a little high for me, so I can’t afford to eat here very often, but will definitely come back as the perfect place to celebrate special occasions once I’m well.“

“Great Restaurant! I tried the Green Coconut Vegetable Curry and the Onion Bhanu and they were amazing. I would taste the coconut flavor in the curry and the bhaji was very fresh which made it a great appetizer. To add on, they serve Vegan Mango Lassi which was amazing and fresh! Everything is 100% Vegan, no problem! The business is week maintained and cares about the customers! The menu is very unique and look forward to trying something new! Definitely recommended!“

“This was my second visit to Pijja Palace. It’s on Sunset Blvd, and coming from the South Bay it took about 40 minutes, so it’s a place I plan ahead for.

The menu is Indian-influenced comfort food—pizza, burgers, bar-style dishes—meant to be shared. We ordered a few items and the onion rings were especially good. The Indian-inspired pizzas were flavorful and filling, with sauces you can add depending on spice level. We also ordered the cheese chili toast, which tasted familiar and worked well with the rest of the menu. Drinks include Indian flavor notes - order the rose lemonade!

The server was very friendly, which made the experience easy and relaxed.

Parking can be tricky. There’s a small lot in front plus street parking. We made a lunch reservation, and going right when they open is a good strategy if you want to avoid parking stress.

I’d go back with friends—pizza and shared plates make it a fun group spot.“

“Had wonderful dinner at tulsi tonight. I highly recommend their Lilva kachori, tulsi special dhosa, and masala chaas. My daughter really liked their paneer Frankie and rose lassi Over all, amazing service and very tasty food.“
