“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“The atmosphere was casual and informal like a cafe . What a creative spread . The food we ate was a Fusion of Indian and Mexican . The owner was very amiable and the waiters very cordial and respectful . Will highly recommend this place 👍🏻🙌🙌🎉🎊“

“Absolutely incredible meal! I believe it actually surpassed my expectations. Fantastic and flavour food, extremely generous portions and the service was so warm. You really do feel at home. The lamb was amazing. My family and I arrived at LAX and were looking for a place to eat. This spot definitely stood out with its high ratings and large amount of reviews. So happy we chose this spot! I would highly recommend eating here if you’re looking for an excellent meal.“

“Went to this place randomly for a late lunch, place was completely empty when we went there. I was curious cause I’ve never had Uzbek food before. It prolly is a family run business, the gentleman who took our order seemed like the one who was preparing the food as well. I like this kind of mom and pop places.

We ordered a beef noodle bowl and a lamb kabab kinda platter: the bowl was really tasty after adding a little bit of lemon juice, before that it felt like sth was missing. The lamb was so damn good ! And after the meal we ordered some “milk tea” that wasn’t on the menu and we were skeptical at first glance but were pleasantly surprised after taking the first sip. It was really refreshing :)“

“Best Indian food 🥘 in L.A taste like made in home !!“

“Great friendly service and food.“

“Underrated halal spot on the Westside! On the slightly pricier side but portions are generous and service is great! The fried chicken is super tasty and crispy, haven't tried the bulgogi or katsu yet but I'm sure it's just as good.“

“As advertised...unbelievably juicy, delicious meat and naan. Friendly proprietor. Don't go there for ambiance though :) great value and we never miss it when in LA or even just passing through...even though it means w have to deal w the 405!“

“Went in for some take out and service was friendly, warm, and efficient. I ordered the lemon garlic chicken and it was amazing. So tender, so flavorful, and great portions. I tried different sides and I enjoyed every single one. I have recommended to friends and family who'd love a delicious, flavorful meal with excellent service.“

“One of the best Shawarma’s ive ever tried, hit the right spot! The staff wr super friendly and kind.

We tried both the chicken and beef shawarma, and they were incredibly flavorful, juicy, and perfectly seasoned“

“The perfect burger and delicious fries. 100% delicate... 👍“

“Decided to give this place a try over Dave's for lunch. I'm glad I did. Great flavor, not oily, perfect crispiness, generous portion of potato wedges and the chicken breast was perfect balance of meat to batter ratio.

When I came in to pick up I was asked if I wanted a free vanilla shake on the house and I couldn't say no. Delicious all around. I'll be coming back around during lunch time for the special.“

“This restaurant has excellent choice of delicious Lebanese food, beverages and desserts. Every thing is authentically signed (961) 🇱🇧🇱🇧“

“How can I say this...I love Hummus House and have for years! The food is delicious and has never disappointed. I go every chance I go to Hawthorne.“

“First time eating Indian food. The meal was excellent! The service was excellent! We will be going back.“

“Great Indian food, and I love the weekly buffet. Sundays, it comes with champagne, if you ask for it. Wide variety of choices. Consistently tasty. Staff is friendly and attentive. Very clean, and comfortable.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

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

“If you’re looking for delicious street food, this is the spot to hit!
You’ll find it right on the street under a black tent — just follow the smoke like it’s guiding you to a food treasure. 😄
We really enjoyed everything we tried, and the food was absolutely worth it. The only downside is the seating is very limited, so you may end up balancing your plate like a street-food pro. But honestly, that just adds to the experience!“

“Je recommande ce restaurant. Repas délicieux, prise de commande rapide, service à table rapide. Personnel très accueillant. Thank you for your hospitality“

“What a great surprise to find such great authentic Indian thali in Dublin, Ireland . Coming from San Francisco this was a great find. Food was awesome - Chole, kurma, sambhar. Rasam, bhindi masala was spicy and yummy with lots of flavor.. Priyanshi seated us even if the restaurant was full and packed. Charu served us professionally and was really on point with her order. Will recommend Southern Spice for anyone in Dublin area.“

“Was delicious and many traditional Indian dishes to choose from. Great service and we were even told about other dishes we might enjoy. Love it!!!!“

“The food and staff were great. But I had to pay $2 for a small thing of ranch. 🫠 like…. Seriously lol“

“Dear team, I would like to appreciate ms Jen , In how she handled a situation with a French customer who felt the food spicy, and the recovery she did was impeccable. Great work done Ms Jen , great asset to service industry.
Kudoos ! #hashimgrill!!!“

“I was first introduced to Nashville-style hot chicken at Hattie B's in Nashville. Although I've never found anything quite like it here in Los Angeles (Hattie B's chicken serves bone-in whole pieces, marinated through), I'm addicted to Dave's, and love the Extra Hot! (I'll stay away from Reaper...I don't need to try something that requires a signed waiver!)

My go-to is the #4, and their fries are great too. The extra pickles they include are a really nice touch, and the sauce is a the perfect alternate to ketchup, and really goes with the chicken.

The staff is always friendly and helpful, and I can order at the counter, at a touch-screen kiosk, or on my app. The app has kind of become the easiest option for me now that I've gotten the hang of reordering my usual. I try to limit my fried, fast-food meals, but Dave's is usually my first thought when I'm in the mood to indulge in that kind of treat. If you like spice, it's a must-try!“

“Food it’s great, I love it“

“This is honestly the best brisket sandwich and burger I have ever had IN MY LIFE!!! And I have had a lot of both! The brisket has more of a pulled pork consistency and it is unreal with that in house slaw and potato bun. Smash style burgers are also my top fave kind of burger and they do it exactly how I would dream of it being done. They are also not your usual slider size. These are the size of a kids meal burger (so to me- that’s normal sized). Not some giant sand which but the perfect size. I would normally be content with just one of these sandwiches but I did the combo so one brisket and one burger and I could not stop eating either one even after the meat sweats set in! I got the fries with no cheese and they were great. So happy to have found this place! Speaking of place: there are no signs. Its inside of urban skillet and there are no signs or menus up in there either so feels like an underground magic spot. I feel like I’m in the know now. Thank you! (Next time I’ll take pics.)“

“YUUUUM. This was our first time here (didn't know it was a chain) & it was delicious! We were seated right away and our server was super nice. She brought us our drinks and a side a shredded ginger. She recommended we eat it with our meal, by itself, or use it in our water! I appreciated her recs and choose to nibble on some and put the rest in my water.

We got the orange chicken and the stir fried green beans. We also tried the beef pancake. All items were generously portions and delicious. We would for sure return again!“

“Very nice meals. Good luck!“

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

“I found this place off of Google Reviews and wanted a lighter dinner meal. When I arrived the owners, which I believe are a husband and wife duo, both greeted me and told me the menu was on the wall. Given Im still new to eating Mediterranean food I took a moment to look it over. I asked a question and the guy suggested the chicken gyro sandwich. After paying, I watched him prepare the meal and it smelled divine. Honestly the only complaint I have is I should have eaten it there and asked for no tomatoes. That's on me. Im not a local but if I was, I'd be going back to try other dishes and get that chicken gyro. They also have provided some of the best customer service and genuinely seemed happy to see me.

Check these guys out.“

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

“Great little spot for Mexican food! The tacos were delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The portions were generous, the prices were reasonable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Everything came out fresh and tasty, especially the fish tacos. Definitely a place I’d come back to and recommend to anyone looking for good tacos in Los Angeles!“

“Extensive menu with lots of options for sides, toppings and sauces. But the meat itself isn't that great. Both the chicken and lamb/beef were dry and not flavorful on their own. That's too bad because otherwise it's a pleasant venue with fast service. I won't be going back“

“Best curry I have had in LA in 30 years Chef is English“

“excellent food, affordable menu“

“The food is hands down the best here, this spot has been my personal favourite. The Vijaywada chicken biriyani is our guilty pleasure. We have tried the malabar paratha with the abhiruchi chicken curry, that is incredible as well. My wife loves typical Indian flavours so she enjoys the spice and the intensity of the masalas. It’s preferable to discuss the spice level before ordering.If you are someone who is spice intolerant, you can either skip this place or go easier on the spices.“

“Highly recommended! This place is great!“

“My son is in love with your minestrone soup.. Your pizza..and your tiramisu!!“

“I went in to pick up an order and the family was so wonderful. Had a great conversation and the food has great flavor. We have ordered from there in the past and I just haven’t done a review. Now is the time. Don’t sleep on This little gem. Not a soul was inside dining. You need to check them out. Worth dining in or ordering.“

“LATE REVIEW.

Came here for dinner the night before Valentine's and was able to be seated right away. The menu is divided into two: Moroccan and Tunisian. We wanted to try one of each but we were told by our server that we can only choose one. We found it as a bummer because of course my partner and I wanted to try different things. The food was good, just wished the portions and options were more.

Overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The entertainment from the belly dancers also made the night so fun and memorable.“

“I've eaten here twice now. First time ran in and ordered a Falafel with Hummus and Tabuleh. It was so delcious - some of the best I have ever had. Came back for lunch with mu huband for lunch and he had a Schwarma salad. It was also delicious. The garlic sauce and home made bread served with salad was amazing. Will go back again and even go out of my way to enjoy this specail little spot.“

“Great people! Great pizza! Great prices! Really felt like the Italian place I love in Little Italy in NYC. Intimate atmosphere with awesome service!“

“Excellent food and service.“

“Ambiente limpio, agradable y buen servicio; lo recomiendo; auténtico Restaurante de la India“

“Food was delicious and great service. it was my husband's first time having Indian food and he loved it as well.“

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

“Hands down the best Indian food in NoHo. Probably all of LA. I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. Super friendly, no matter the hardship, this family smiles through.“
