43 Best Indian Restaurants near South Pasadena

“the food is amazing and the service was excellent, also all of enjoyed the food“

“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.“

“Awesome atmosphere, service & food. The staff is excellent and you are given plenty of time to relax.“

“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.“

“The curry and masala are amazing at the Fullerton location! I will be back this week for lunch. Oh, and ordering online was so easy :) thank you!!“

“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.“

“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. We met manager and the owner who were very welcoming and the service was excellent. We will most definitely return soon and try something different on their menu. We highly recommend it.“

“Gill's is so underrated. We love this place so much!! They have a lunch buffet that i've yet to try, but we've ordered dinner before. The chicken tikka masala is so delicious along with the chicken tikka and garlic naan!! We order so much food, and it's always so much cheaper than if we went anywhere else (I have gone elsewhere - those places are expensive and not as tasty)“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Delicious! Great Indian food and great tikka masala burrito!“

“Delicious food and good service.“

“Excellent, can't wait to go back & try something else!!!“

“This place definitely deserves a 5 star rating. I didn’t expect the food to be so good and it was so reasonable. They had a variety of veg and non vegetarian items. The food is well prepared and tastes like home cooked. The quantity they serve is a lot. It’s a small cozy eatery with a grocery store that carries most bengali food items. The variety of fish is amazing. A must visit for folks looking for authentic Bengali cuisine.“

“A very enjoyable meal. Had a starter and a mains. Both excellent and felt full at the end. I sat outside and people watched. The service was excellent, very attentive. The price on a par with other restaurants on the front. Will be going again before going home“

“Who wanna go.....I’z hungry lawd🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽“

“Came to visit Los Angeles for the weekend and stumbled across this Plaza across from my Hotel Intercontinental.
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!!!!“

“Good food and nice staff. They also have free parking structure“

“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“

“Pretty good food and service.“

“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.“

“Yummy yummy yummy You will love“

“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!“

“I finally made it to Pijja Palace in Silver Lake, and let me just say — it’s worth the hype. I went in expecting good food, but the rigatoni completely blew me away. Rich, flavorful, with just the right amount of sass, it was one of those dishes that sticks with you long after you leave. Honestly, it made me want to go back the very next day just to order it again.

The masala wings deserve their own spotlight. Perfectly crispy, packed with flavor, and the kind of dish that disappears from the table before you realize you’ve eaten half of them. They’re the type of wings you order “to share,” but end up not wanting to.

What I love about Pijja Palace is that it feels like more than just a restaurant. It’s a place that captures the creative, cultural energy of Silver Lake where every detail feels thoughtful, and the food matches the buzz around it. Spots like this remind me why people love living in neighborhoods like Silver Lake. It’s not just about a house on a street, it’s about being surrounded by places that make you want to stay.“

“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.“

“authentic and really just fantastic South Indian food“
