43 Best Indian Restaurants near Tarzana

“Hands down THE best Indian restaurant in the valley if not the city. Easily top 3. Top Quality ingredients, delicious dishes, warm family vibe, family level service. I’ve been coming here since they opened , in all that time, as other restaurants through Covid have dropped quality and raised prices, I’m so pleased and grateful for this gem in my own neighborhood. My favorite dishes I highly recommend : green chutni, garlic naan, best chicken tandoori, best lamb biryani , all their masala’s, even though Im not a big fan of vegan food, even that is fantastic. The owner is a sweet mom, she’s down to earth and genuine. Her family works there… oh one thing I forgot to mention that shows their care and quality, when you order the biryani for example, you get tons of meat, they don’t skimp. Always order more than u can eat. It’s that kinda place. Hopefully around for many more years“

“What a fantastic restaurant. Not surprising that lots of people there drove from far away to eat. So good!“

“This is the second time I have ordered from this restaurant, and the Vizayawada biryani is absolutely delicious. You won't find another place in Los Angeles that serves biryani with such an authentic and flavorful taste. My suggestion would be to make the biryani spicier and add a bit more sauce for an even richer flavor.“

“I’ve looked Tikka Masala ever since I was a kid and eating at this place has just made my love for the food even better. I tried the Panner Tikka Masala with naan and I was happy with the food. It was fresh and hot! The naan was also hot and freshly cooked which made the meal completely better. I also ordered Shrimp Tikka which is something completely new to me and I loved it. It tastes like a kebab and very crispy. Great Customer Service! Lots of dishes to try from the menu. Check it out!“

“I visited KING OF INDIA with my whole family and I couldn't believe that the food was so delicious anytime visit CALIFORNIA must stop by KING OF INDIA and it's one of our FAVORITE place all time,you guys ROCK.“

“The food was absolutely delightful! Great food and service. Fayaz was very quick to greet me as we got things started for myself with the options they had on the menu. I had the whole restaurant to myself this evening. Fayaz is a very friendly and helpful person. The chefs in the restaurant cook the food so delicious. I ordered the garlic naan with butter chicken masala. The food really satisfied my Indian food cravings.“

“As a tourist visiting Los Angeles all the way from India, I wanted to explore some authentic South Asian flavors—and Tawakull Tandoori absolutely blew me away! From the moment I walked in, the warm hospitality made me feel right at home. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, with the aroma of fresh spices welcoming you in like an old friend.

I ordered the Chicken Biryani, a Lamb Karahi, and of course, some fresh garlic naan—and every bite was bursting with flavor. The tandoori meats are perfectly marinated and cooked to juicy perfection. The spice level was just right, and you can tell everything is made fresh with real love and tradition behind it.

The staff were so friendly and attentive, even offering great suggestions for what to try as a first-timer. I also tried the mango lassi, which was the perfect refreshing finish to an already fantastic meal.

If you're in LA and craving rich, flavorful, and authentic Pakistani food, Tawakul Tandoori is a must-visit. I honestly wish I had discovered this place sooner on my trip—I'll definitely be back next time I’m in town!

Highly recommend—5 stars all the way! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Went there on a date on Christmas and was excellent!“

“I live in Virginia and tried to place an order with a restaurant with a similar name. Somehow wires got crossed and the order was placed with this restaurant. When the food wasn’t picked up the restaurant went out of the way to track me down and reimburse the charge. This is a restaurant worth your businesses. Good people are sometimes hard to find and should be recognized!“

“We were a group of 2, ordered lamb and chicken biryani. Both were very delicious (a bit too spicy though we requested mild). Rice needed to be a bit drier than what was served, were told that it is how it's made in Northern India, it was so good, but wanted it to be drier :)“

“looks like the store is gone, tried to order takeout but closed today tuesday 5/24. i hjope they are still open. great food“

“Indian spot located on the 2nd level off of Wilshire. When I typed the name in, Google maps took me to the one on Westwood, so make sure you’re putting in the right address if you’re intending to go here. Very limited street parking. Credit cards accepted. They do take reservations but when we went on a Thursday evening at 8pm, it wasn’t necessary. Masks required and they do check proof of vaccination, although they wanted a picture of the card and didn’t accept my digital CA QR code. Food is family style; the tandoori mix grill was a good way to get a variety of meats/seafood. The butter chicken was tasty. The peas pulao was a good complement to that sauce, though I preferred the garlic naan. They do serve alcohol. It’s good for big groups and they had a TV playing music videos inside. They were open fairly late on a weeknight, so it’s a good spot to get some food if you’re in the Brentwood area and get hungry, but don’t have a reservation anywhere.“

“Are here last night & had takeout 2 weeks ago 😃delicious both times ! Will be back when in Santa Monica as next 👍“

“I love this place! It's small, but has all the ingredients for Indian cooking that you can't find in regular markets. And whole spices like cardamom and anise are SO much cheaper here than big box stores! Everyone who works here has been so helpful and patient we me as I try learn Indian cooking. Be aware that they have a small <$1 chg for using credit card, but you will get that back many times over with how much you save.“

“It was the first time we visited this restaurant. My family and I loved the food. We ordered Maharashtrian and south Indian food. All dishes were delicious! Especially the Kolhapuri Tambada Rassa!!! It was so authentic that it reminded us of Kolhapuri home food. Along with that, the restaurant owner gave us complimentary Zunka & Bhakri! So exquisite! She suggested us some chef's special dishes. Kanda Bhaji, Sole kadhi was unique. Highly recommended!! The person who took our order, Aashish was kind and gave us the best hospitality during our visit. People should definitely try this restaurant for authentic Maharashtrian dishes!“

“This is one of my favorite restaurants in the LA area. The food is delicious! Restaurant is always clean and friendly staff really makes it enjoyable to eat there. I highly recommend trying it if not this location there is also a Santa Monica location. 👍“

“Often times I appreciate the vibe that this family style deli has to offer. My family likes the originality of the regulars that attend there. I personally think the relaxed setting is a great place to do business. My personal experiences included giddiness from mangos. Not acceptable in temples of prayer. Prasadam perhaps after prayers a superior order of eating here. All in all singed my Chai ode hair which was an act of humility my brothers.“

“I have been a long time customer of Chutney’s on Pico and Barrington in West La. The food is wonderful and the owner and staff are very pleasant to interact with. Highly recommended when you are in the mood for excellent quality Indian food!“

“The best Indian food in LA is in Encino!?—Yes! This location of Anarbagh is far and away the best Indian I have had in LA. The food is exquisite—subtle flavors, perfectly tender meat, incredible takes on the classics. The saag paneer is remarkable. Thank you!“

“Great food, great prices & excellent customer service!!“
