“good food, friendly service, very affordable.“

“The staff was very friendly and provided good service. The food was delicious. My only complaint was that the ambient music started at a reasonable volume and progressively got louder and louder to the point where I nearly had to yell across the table. For the record, we were seated at 6 PM and finished at 7:30 PM“

“Amazing Indian cuisine!!!!“

“Really good interior with professional service i like it“

“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!“

“Indian and Mexican fusion is an incredible innovation. We got two burritos, the appetizer sampler, roti, paratha, a mango lassi, and a tea and everything was so delicious. They even brought us out some soup and rice pudding without us even asking for it. The soup was really comforting on that rainy day and the rice pudding was the perfect light and sweet note to end the meal with. I’m so glad we stumbled onto this place on the last day of our trip. Perfect send off!“

“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.“

“This was hands down one of the best Indian food I’ve ever had. The flavors were incredibly rich and authentic. It truly felt like home-style cooking. Sam, the owner, was warm and very welcoming. We’re so happy to have found this spot in LA. We will definitely be coming back!!“

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

“The staff at this location were the biggest treat! Went for Sunday lunch today and we had the besttttt service 💯
My go-to here be it door dash or at one of the LA locations is always the butter chicken, chicken poutin fries, chilli cheese naan and palak paneer. You can’t eat here without trying these! End your meal with their delish chai and kheer, too much goodness 👌🏾
Thanks guys, see you soon. Always fresh, flavorful and consistent with a touch of fantastic staff members.
Ps. Parking can be a pain, plan for street parking or parking lots a few blocks away. It’s a busy street, heads up.“

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

“Best Indian food restaurant in the Valley!“

“If we don’t like a place we say so. We recommend this restaurant. Friendly. Pleasant helpful staff, nice food, reasonable prices especially the wine. Lots of street parking. Will return.“

“We have been here twice now and each time it has been amazing. The lady that works is the most friendly, kind hearted person ever and takes time to interact with each table to make you feel like family. I would highly recommend this place over and over again.“

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

“Absolutely amazing food and authentic flavors at India’s Tandoori in Hollywood!
The halal dishes are fresh, perfectly spiced, and full of rich traditional taste.
Friendly staff and quick service make this place a must-visit every time!“

“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 👍🏼🥰🇮🇳😋“

“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 👍“

“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!“

“I prefer to stay close to home and Curry Zone is the best place to get Indian food. I've never eaten inside, but maybe I will the next time. The food is amazingly delicious, I'm never disappointed. The garlic naan bread and the mango lassi are flavorful, delicious and compliment the food very well. Can't wait for next time.“

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

“Hands down the best Indian food in NoHo. Probably all of LA. I highly recommend the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. Super friendly, no matter the hardship, this family smiles through.“

“Perfect Indian quality food“

“Delicious food (that is actually hot when you ask for it hot!), nice dining area, very reasonably priced for how much food you get (definitely leftovers). Also the staff is really sweet. I somehow left my credit card and didn’t realize until the following day - they held it until I could pick it up. Highly recommend!“

“Food was delicious and great service. it was my husband's first time having Indian food and he loved it as well.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“Best place ever“

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

“Shout-out to Taj Mahal of India for staying consistently excellent.

My first time coming here was toward the end of the pandemic, and it immediately left an impression. I hadn’t been back in a couple of years, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Walking in and being greeted by the same familiar faces honestly made my day. That kind of continuity matters.

This place feels truly family-run in the best way. You can tell the team works well together, and that care translates directly to the food. Every single time, it exceeds expectations.

The butter chicken, curry vindaloo, tikka masala, garlic naan. No notes. And trust me when I say this: you must order extra of everything. Non-negotiable.

Grateful this spot continues to do what it does so well. Still a favorite, still worth the return.“

“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 :)“

“I just love this place. I came into town after 4 years and this was in my top 5 places I wanted to stop. Got the chicken tikki masala and it’s as delicious as it’s ever been.“

“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!“

“Excellent Indian food . Must try !!“

“Yellow Dal, Chana, aloo saag, tikka masala, veg jalfrezzi, veg korma, eggplant curry, vindaloo, naan, roti — have ordered all these and more many times in last few years and it’s always good. Great Indian food, vegan and in general.

Anything over mild spice is too spicy and we like spicy, so I wouldn’t recommend going over medium at most.“

“My girl and I have been here twice. To put into perspective how much we like it. We drove up from tucson, Az for the day and decide we needed to go here again. Amazing service, Very quiet, the temperature in the building is perfect and the seating is comfortable. Most importantly the food. The food is on another level. Full of flavor/spices, hot and very filling. Will be back!“

“My husband and I thought the food was exceptional, therefore, I wanted to write this review. I had the chicken tikka masala and he had the lamb. The ambiance is romantic (we're both seniors but are still romantic), and the service was top notch. We highly recommend this restaurant!!“

“The staff was incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to help me. It’s refreshing to see such dedication to customer service. Thank you for making my visit memorable! Highly recommend!“

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