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

“This is a beautifully decord Indian restaurant, tremendous menu with a warm, youthful family vibe. You will be met with the most fragrant delightful smells emanating from the kitchen as you enter and be surrounded by beautiful seating aggrangments fit for a special or romantic night out. The food, oh my, served authentically in traditional pots is so delicious you will pause to take the flavors all in. We go often, I must always order Saag Paneer, unbelievable, and we try all the various Biryani which are amazing. Last night had Chicken Vindaloo with garlic naan - just melts in your mouth. The staff, it is family owned and everyone is absolutely kind and helpful. A very large menu of Indian traditional meals, very reasonably priced and the food fressness stairs you right in the face. We randomly found this place one night and we have been back at least once or twice per week since. This wonderful restaurant is tucked away in a strip mall off Ventura Blvd with ample parking ( and handicap) right in front. Opened until 10pm, it is a great place for a special meal but is a very casual environment. I've been eating Indian food all my life and this is by far the best you will ever find! And believe me, the family that built this business are very proud of their food.“

“Great place for authentic Indian Food.“

“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.“

“Best Indian food in la“

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

“The rare cases when a new owner does It better the old the old saying a new broom sweeps clean fits this place. food is great they're very kind and we're going to come back to our new Indian place good job guys“

“Amazing experience at Tulsi restaurant. Food was super delicious, so much variety to choose from & very inexpensive. Staff was very friendly. Can’t wait to try other tulsi restaurant in LA“

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

“Ordered in based off the reviews, and man oh man, this place is phenomenal! The food tastes fresh and delicious—excellent spices and seasonings for every dish we had. The mild/medium/hot is spot on. Naan even tasted amazing the next day! Samosas were crisp yet perfectly soft in the right places. Will definitely be back and will definitely send all my friends here.“

“Genuine person. Very good and healthy food. He should charge more for the quality and quantity. But I understand he is also doing it as a service. Definitely recommended to anyone in Westwood. Please go show your support especially in down times of the year like summer when there are fewer students on campus.“

“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.“

“This place is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious. I’m traveling here from Michigan and we have a lot of Indian food restaurants but I’ve never had food as good as this place in here for a week and I will be here everyday. I had the chicken 65 birianyi and it’s cooked to perfection the spices and flavor is heavenly and the rice and chicken is amazing came with two sauces one is a broth and the other is yogurt with vegetables and both complimented the dish when mix together perfectly. The reason I gave 4 stars is because it takes time for the food to come out that’s all the staff were nice and polite the place is clean. And not to forget the portion is very good for the price and you don’t see that anymore. All in all an amazing experience keep up the good work staff“

“The restaurant has a great buffet. The service is excellent also. A clean place. Will return.“

“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. 👍“

“good food, friendly service, very affordable.“

“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!“

“Tawakal Halal Tandoori is such a solid spot for authentic Pakistani comfort food in LA! Everything had that homemade, traditional desi flavor, especially the tandoori meats and curries. The meats were flavorful and well-seasoned, and you can’t go wrong pairing everything with fresh naan and rice. Definitely a great no-frills halal spot when you’re craving classic Pakistani food that tastes like home.“

“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 :)“

“Food is all delicious and service was very attentive. Sadly, no parking and they closed, with no notice, for a few days, in November. No holiday. Weekday/night. But, we’ll keep going, because the food is that good. Our favorite is the chicken masala.“

“nice people, nice food, give us good mango dessert too, not to mention fast service❤“

“We stumbled across here trying to find a new place. The inside was really beautiful, the orange walls and lighting made it feel so luxurious. Tried the garlic naan which was fresh garlic and and soft dough. I got the coconut chicken curry medium which wasn’t too spicy, had good flavor. The rice was perfect and everything was amazing. Will definitely come back again!“

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

“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!“

“Tasty South Indian hot food… really loved the all you can eat breakfast this Saturday early morning… Yumm Idli puri doa Pongal vada with all the sides … really loved the taste and texture of each item … thanks for the tasteee strong madras coffee to go with it .. beautiful start to my day 👍“

“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!“

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

“Love this place! This is a family business, and they are very kind and supportive, especially if it is your first time cooking Indian food. The prices are affordable, and they have a wide collection of ingredients. They even explained to me how to make their family recipe for saag paneer. I really appreciate their support and guidance. I used to go to Culver City for Indian ingredients, but this place in Santa Monica has better prices and is closer to where I live. I also want to give a special shout-out to Sunny for great customer service!“

“I have been here twice and both times it was good. Tikka masala bowl was great and the gravy was perfect how its suppose to be. Indian pijja (pizza) was great too - balanced flavor, thin crust. And the guy behind the counter is very helpful and friendly too. Highly recommended“

“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.“
