“Just really tasty vegetarian entrees. Samoas are a hit and the naan is so delicious and soft and warm. Today they gave me a hot chai tea. Very thoughtful. Cold and raining ☔️ and it was hot and delicious 🫖“

“Four of us enjoyed a wonderful lunch here. It's a very pleasant and tidy atmosphere and our service was attentive. But it is the food that makes it worth the trip. Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Karahi, and Lamb Vindaloo were among the tastiest we have ever had. The daily lunch deal is a bargain. We came from Sherman Oaks and plan to go again very soon. Highly recommend.“

“Great place for authentic Indian Food.“

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

“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“

“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“

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

“This cloud kitchen is run by a mom-and-son duo and their food slaps. My favorite is the chicken frankie - It's such a yummy lunch or quick dinner. I like the sauce and the veggies in it which add a nice little crunch. My boyfriend thinks they have the best samosas he's had, simple yet full of flavor. Their kabobs are delicious too. All of the food we've had there so far is really fresh and tasty. We can't wait to try more. So glad we have this awesome little spot in the neighborhood!“

“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 👍“

“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.“

“Best Indian food 🥘 in L.A taste like made in home !!“

“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.“

“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“

“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 :)“

“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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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. 👍“
