Horrible service from the staff. Very rude. Made us wait forever. Staff spoke to us in a way that we are bothering him. They were not even busy. We were the first customer to be there. Ambience is dark small and had a dirty feel. Stay away from this place. There are better Indian cuisine and service restaurants than this.

Wow, what a authentic Indian food. Enjoyed appetizers and main course dinner. Their Kashmiri Nana, so yummy. Worth you try. By the way their serving size is very good.
Vegetarian options: Delicious vegetarian choices.

Extensive menu balanced with vegetarian, tofu and meat and seafood options. Many dishes I've not experienced in similarly serious Indian restaurants in Southern CA (including the westside and Artesia!) Exquisite dessert menu. Yum! Attentive wait staff. Reservations recommended for dinner. Thrift and varied lunch menu available daily.

Maybe we ordered poorly, but many things were not good. First, a gin & tonic served with no lime is a sacrilege and should be outlawed on a 95 degree day. Lemons are not a substitute. Strange balsamic dressing for the kachumbar salad - a small amount of effort towards turning a mint chutney into a salad dressing could work wonders here. Alas, their mint chutney and tamarind sauce served with an order of papadam (not complimentary) was also disappointing. The tamarind was like a thickened sugar syrup with no tamarind flavor. The mint chutney was dull and more creamy than minty with little punch. Papadam was slightly burned and slightly thicker than i prefer it but compared to the other strikes acceptable. Tandoori mushrooms were interesting, but much better when combined with crunchy lettuce and some of the chutney. It's possible to make a very interesting dish out of these but they are currently two steps away from success. Baby eggplant dish came in a super thick sauce that i guess had coconut milk in it. We could barely eat it. Felt like a vegan calorie bomb dense dense dense (and i prefer to dance dance dance.) Green pea rice pulau was also weird. Had cashews and we think some kind of burnt onion sliver - would have been better with plain rice because these ingredients added up to a bizarre hat and not a complimentary accessory. The biggest dud was the tandoori seafood platter: 1 pieces of seafood arranged the way a messy kid cleans up a room - dropped. 3 pieces of shrimp (overcooked) 3 bay scallops (undercooked), 2 pieces of salmon 1 inch x 2 inch (overcooked) and 3 pieces of catfish, which were overcooked but that's actually exactly how i like my catfish so we fought over those. Platter seems like an overly optimistic way to describe this dish. Basically - off flavors, off concepts, off execution. Probably the worst Indian food I've had in LA in the last 25 years/ 50 different restaurant experiences. All that said, my gal and i agreed we'd probably eat there again and order more standard fare (biryani, aloo, chicken, naan, gobi, etc) to see how that went.
Also, today was hot as god's vagina so I'm willing to forgive if those cooks were beat by the heat

One of the best Indian restaurants in the area. The quality and service is amazing. Best to go with a larger group so you can order family style and try their many great choices.
For being VERY VERY expensive they should at least double check the orders. The last 3 times I ordered take out it was wrong, or had missing items. Disappointing.

Haven't had a single bad meal here. Everything's on point. And excelente service. Highly recommend you visit this place. You won't be disappointed.
This is our go-to Indian in the Pasadena area. Great staff. Delicious food. Spiced to order. No other restaurant comes close, even the ones in a more typical downtown location. Keep up the great work!
