50 Best Indian Restaurants near Studio City

“I have eaten at Flavor of India several times and did so very recently with a friend. This place has amazing food and service! You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Everything is excellent and I strongly recommend them. The atmosphere is great too!“

“Best Indian food restaurant in the Valley!“

“Absolutely in love with this place! 🍽️✨ The food is a beautiful symphony of flavors, and the atmosphere is just so warm and welcoming. The perfect spot for a cozy meal with friends or a special dinner. Every bite was a little piece of happiness. 💛“

“I had a wonderful experience at Roots Indian Bistro. I reached quite late, even after closing hours, but the staff still welcomed and accommodated me so warmly without making me feel rushed at all.

The food was excellent, and to top it off, they even served complimentary kheer, which was such a thoughtful gesture. What stood out the most to me, though, was the hospitality. The staff was genuinely kind and attentive, and one of the owners personally came over to check if everything was good and whether I was enjoying the meal.

Good food is memorable, but genuine hospitality is what truly makes a place special — and Roots absolutely excelled at that. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for not just great Indian food, but also an incredibly warm dining experience.“

“Amazing Indian cuisine!!!!“

“Oh my goodness. Just finished eating and ran here to write a review. I'm not exaggerating when I say this is the most delicious, fresh, flavorful Indian food I've ever had, and I used to live in Jersey City. I went yesterday with friends to try the chicken tikka masala burrito and it was unexpectedly awesome. The owner who served us brought us complimentary mulligatawny soup which was extremely comforting and he was so attentive and friendly. We also got the masala fries with paneer and they were soooo good.

I had such a great experience that I came back today to try some non-fusion food for takeout. I got what I usually get for Indian takeout- chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas. I was also excited to see they have gobi manchurian which is one of my favorites but surprisingly hard to find a good one, so I tried that too.

Wowwowow! Every single dish was exceptional. Everything seasoned perfectly, with so much depth of flavor in each dish. Samosas were flaky and crispy, and the chutneys were perfect. Masala was sweet and a little spicy, and the paneer was so fresh. The gobi manchurian was also perfection. I almost never want to go to another Indian place again, because I've seemingly found the best. Can't wait to come back again and try some different dishes! Can not recommend this place enough! Sorry, forgot to take pictures of my dinner I was too excited to eat it.

Also! Excellent value! The prices are very modest and the portion sizes are great. I have enough for 2 dinners for my fiancé and I, coming out to $15 per meal which is incredible considering the variety and quality of food ❤️“

“Owners, Staff and overall teamwork has a sync. It won’t go wrong. Also if you know indian movies, their cocktail menu is worth exploring whether you drink or not!! They should try for Michelin Star / Michelin recommended restaurants.
Exceptional service.“

“The food at Star of India is excellent. They have a wide variety of vegetarian, vegan, and standard items, all worth trying. The service is prompt and the staff are friendly and helpful.“

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

“Tried the rack of lamb goat and it was absolutely amazing. The meat was perfectly cooked with rich flavors in every bite. The seasoning and smoky grilled taste made it even better. One of the best dishes I’ve had recently, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who loves flavorful meat dishes.“

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

“A group of 10 coworkers and I went here after work and it was amazing!!! I will definitely be coming here again with friends or for takeout. There are so many options at an affordable price. I got the two item combo with garlic naan, and I had plenty of food to take home afterwards. Service was awesome, the owners are super friendly, and food came out fast.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're looking for the **best Indian restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles**, I highly recommend **Riwaaz Indian Cuisine & Banquet**. The food here is absolutely authentic and full of flavor—easily one of the top spots for Indian food in LA.

We ordered the **chicken tikka masala, biryani, Samosa Chaat, garlic naan, mutton curry and memna lamb curry** and every dish was rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The **garlic naan** was fresh and soft, and paired perfectly with the creamy curry sauces. You can really taste the traditional Indian spices in every bite.

They also have great **vegetarian options** like paneer tikka and dal makhani, plus a variety of **vegan-friendly dishes**, which makes it a great place for everyone. Portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out.

The ambiance is modern yet welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Whether you're dining in or trying their **weekend Indian buffet**, this place offers one of the best Indian dining experiences in downtown Los Angeles.

If you're craving **authentic Indian cuisine, flavorful curry, tandoori dishes, or the best biryani in Downtown LA**, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Great place for authentic Indian Food.“

“Went with a large group.

Flavors are good but it's a bit Americanized. We did enjoy the fusion poutine though. I was shocked that the paneer curry hardly had any paneer. Unfortunately we ordered 3 of those for the table so I had to tough through quite a bit of bell pepper 🥴

Waiter was nice but he kept forgetting to bring some of our stuff, but we got a free extra mango lassi out of it due to the confusion lol

Atmosphere - very chill place and food location

Overall I had a good time and would come here again if I'm in the area. It's a good starting point before some WeHo thrifting“

“Fue mi primera vez y me gustó la atención al cliente es increíble muy amigables y el lugar es muy pasivo música de la India relajante y en tendencia y sobre todo la comida deliciosa recomiendo este lugar y muy limpio regresaré por seguro 👍🏼🥰🇮🇳😋“

“yes great service. their food is always cooked at time of ordering. everything is fresh!“

“I dined in around 6pm on a Saturday and it was perfect. It’s a small place with a relaxed vibe. The place was empty when I arrived but quickly filled up while I ate my food. I got the garlic naan, the sag paneer, butter chicken and rice. Everything was so delicious and flavorful. The butter chicken was my favorite - incredible spices and I could tell it was cooked on the grill (my favorite cook). The service was fantastic - both servers were so nice and the owner even came to greet us and make sure everything was ok. I would absolutely come back and recommend to a friend.“

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

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

“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!“

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

“We had a fantastic birthday dinner here. Kind of pricey, but that's expected with elevated Indian food. We ordered the bacon & date Kulcha as well as the spinach & Mozzarella to start. Bacon and date was by far the better or the two. Then we shared the scallops (a hit!) and sweet potato Chaat (delish). Out of our 3 mains we enjoyed the chicken Korma best then the short ribs and aloo Gobi were tied. Interestingly they used broccoli instead of cauliflower for the Gobi and the potatoes had amazing flavor. Our only complaint was the noise level got to be extremely loud and it wasn't even a full house. Be prepared. We would definitely go again though.“

“Came here with a group of friends after someone recommended it, and honestly, it’s one of those places you might overlook at first. From the outside, it’s pretty low-key and not the most eye-catching, but once you walk in, the whole vibe changes. The staff welcomes you right away, and you can’t miss the wall full of awards—it definitely says something. The place itself is casual and not fancy, but the food and service really stand out. Everyone on the team checked in on us without being overbearing, and you can tell they work well together. We ordered a bunch of dishes to share and everything was full of flavor. Definitely recommend getting a mango lassi to balance out the spice—it came in clutch.“

“We always look forward to Baar Baar but they truly had the A-team working tonight. We tried a couple dishes for the first time (SWEET POTATO CHAT and CHICKEN CHETTINAD) in addition to our normal go-tos (CAULIFLOWER 65, SELECTION OF INDIAN CURRIES, rice, and garlic naan). We were lucky enough to have the bar manager / beverage director running the bar that night and the cocktails were even better (didn't know that was possible tbh) than usual. I continue to think Baar Baar is one of the best restaurants in the city and is consistently underrated (however well rated it is).“

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

“one place uou can't ho wrong. Finally Indian fine cuisine at it's BEST. I highly recommend.“

“Absolutely delicious Indian cuisine. I dined in with the lamb tandoori tikkha with saag paneer, basmati rice, garlic naan, and a mango lassi. Everything was fresh and on point. The waitress was friendly and the ambience was clean with relaxing jazz piano playing. Highly recommended!“

“Delicious food and friendly service! Chicken tikka masala is really good.“

“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.“

“A Jewel in the Valley! You Must eat here! Since my very first visit, I have loved the flavor of the food here! The people working here like our server Nelson are always personable! Tell your friends, and cone eat here! You won't be disappointed! Thank you!“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

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

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

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

“Good food overall. Some of the best dishes I tried were the Vijayawada chicken biryani and the kothu parotta.

The quantity is generous, and the taste is definitely worth it.

Service was great, and the atmosphere was nice too. A good place for dinner.“

“I can confirm. This is delicious Indian food.

Priced affordably. Do remember that they only accept venmo or cash.

The location is a bit strange in an old hotel, but there are signs to get you there no-issue.

All walls around you in the restaurant have expertly painted murals.“

“Govinda, the owner of this food truck, is a true hero. He runs this truck as a personal mission to do his part in battling food insecurity. His plates are priced at $5 (but really, this is a suggested donation and he never turns you away if you're in need).

Everything in the truck is vegan, partly due to his religious beliefs (Hare Krishna) and partly to accommodate every srudents' dietary preferences.

Each plate is packed with flavor, nutrition, and love. He runs a set menu for each day of the week. It always comes with a glass of lemonade and chips. Don't worry about the portion sizes. You're sure to leave satisfied.

But most importantly, the owner is a genuinely good person. He always stands outside his food truck, personally greeting customers and taking their orders. He takes great pride in his work and is always ecstatic to share updates about how his business is doing and how much he is helping his community. I've spoken to him many times and he understands the food insecurity crisis that students face, hence the pricing and proximity to UCLA. In order to break even, he must sell 70 plates daily, so please frequent this place as much as you can.“

“Perfect Indian quality food“

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

“good food, friendly service, very affordable.“

“If you love Indian food, this is the place to be! The flavors are rich, and every dish is cooked to perfection. The ambiance is warm, and the service is excellent. My personal favorite is their biryani—so aromatic and delicious.“

“absolutely wonderful place.“
