Best Indian style food in Los Angeles. 6 picky eaters all found something they absolutely love. Try the strawberry yogurt drink made in house. Naan is the best I have ever had. Paneer is the chiefs kiss!!!!

We ordered delivery and the food was still incredible! We loved the Saag Paneer, Chicken Tikka Masala, and Curry Eggplant. We all ate so much!Vegetarian options: None of us are vegetarian but we took notice of how vegetarian friendly it was.

I did this to myself. Himalayan food in Brentwood. That sentence should say it all. I think this restaurant is actually perfect for the locals to this area lol, but not for the rest of us. I ordered 2 dishes and naan. And a mango drink. You wouldnt be surprised if I said the dishes also had no bite, no heat! I guess it’s not really their fault. Billed basically 60 bucks. The dishes are also pretty tiny too. That’s Brentwood for ya.

Extremely unfriendly and slow service. We placed an order for a few things and they brought each thing separately. We had to wait close to 15 mins for each item to arrive to the table. They give preference to new customers and ignore the ones seated. Short staffed. In short it was a terrible experience.I would like to add their chow chow was worth ordering and veg momos over chicken.

I hate writing bad reviews. I tried to give benefit of the doubt to the restaurant for any reason but I really couldn’t find any.Food was kinda pricey (even for LA). Very bland and boring. Service was basically non-existent, so much so I had to get up and pay/ask for the check and as well ask for water. Either the people working never have owned a restaurant before or they are purposely trying to lose business. There was no recommendations for the menu, no guidance on what to order, and no checking in on the table. I’m convinced we could have eaten, gotten up and left, without them saying anything.It’s one thing to have good food and bad service or vice versa but to have both you’re not going to survive the LA food scene. Lamb was too fatty and tomato based with no other flavor, keema naan was overpriced and over cooked, and momos looked like they had been microwaved.It’s quite possible I had a bad experience, but unless this place makes a smaller menu, works on its dishes, and brings in some better management, I don’t see a reason to eat here.Gave 2 stars instead of one because the place was clean and pretty.

Nothing good to say about this place, which is a bummer as I like it’s location. The dishes were overpriced and the servings very small. The eggplant was thin and burned. The monos were small and nothing special. Service was poor as the server made no useful recommendations on the dishes. Big disappointment.

Very bad experience at this Indian take out. We paid over $27 per person for chicken tikka masala with rice and the food was very watery, tasteless and so little food for the price. We would never go back to this place.

Abraham Kayali

Bad food, expensive and small portion. So cheap. It is expensive at least put reasonable amount of meat. Ordered 2 meals had to pay $65.

Yam Basnet

Cool/peaceful environment inside, fine tide clean location and staff friendly, service friendly delicious @Nepali foods ? but not make much happiness by mutton curry and parking lot

Horrible experience. Wouldn’t recommend anyone. They keep you waiting forever even for the samosas. And the taste of the food were horrible. Never going back there.

I came to LA for the first time and I came across to this restaurant for Nepali food. I ordered Nepali Veg thali and they literally took over 45 minutes to get the order ready which was so annoying. Even after waiting for that long, the food was completely tasteless. Oh my god, how could they call it nepali thali based on that food. I feel so bad for the people who come to this place and eats very unauthentic food. This place really needs some serious chef and need to think critically about the people’s time and stop making them wait forever.Overall, as a nepali, I had horrible experience going there and wouldn’t recommend going to this place.

One of the best authentic Nepali food I have ever had ! Friendly server and delicious food. Chicken Chowmein (Nepali Style) was the best !!
