Another happy discovery in my new neighborhood. I asked a neighbor who grew up in India for her recommendation. Her instant reply was Indian Kitchen.

The sophisticated yet simple decor, walls lined with multicolor pillows, is warm and inviting. We were welcomed by Raf, who answered our menu questions and advised us on spice/heat.

We started with a creamy and delicious Vegetable Vegan Soup. My friend ordered the Butter Chicken (mild spice) with Paswari Naan. His go-to order is Butter Chicken and this one did not disappoint. I'm a BC newbie and it was love at first taste! The chicken was tender, but I'd be happy with a bowl (vat) of that amazing gravy!! and a pile of naan.

I ordered the Lamb Biryani (medium spice) with Garlic Naan. Both of our naans were buttery and soft - and the size of an elephant ear! (Portions overall were generous, easily shared.) My biryani was very good. The lamb was tender, the rice deliciously spiced and the heat was perfect. I've never met bread I couldn't finish, but their giant naan did me in. We were served white rice but neither of us touched it.

Finally, a shout out to Raf, our server and guide, who was friendly and attentive and made a terrific meal that much more enjoyable.

11/10 for Indian Kitchen! The comfortable room, reasonably priced delicious food and gracious service make for a most satisfying experience. I'm eager to try their weekday lunch specials, too.

My first time here. The butter chicken was awesome, and our server Raf was very helpful and engaging. I’ll definitely be back.

Best butter chicken I’ve had in LA. Nice dine in space and very welcoming staff.

Everything was on point. Lovely attentive service, calming clean atmosphere, and delicious food. Mango lassi, chicken tikka masala, raita, aloo chana so good. I will up the spice level next time to medium. They advertise a very reasonable lunch special.
We're for sure coming back

Please lower the price of the soup and chicken saag on doordash pickup. I would come more often if the prices were lower at least for pick up.

I’ve been coming to this place for almost 30 years. The food here is some of the best Indian food I’ve had in all of los angeles. The chicken tikka and chicken tandoori and butter chicken are my favorites. The butter chicken sauce is rich and creamy and my favorite I’ve ever tasted. The tandoori chicken is spiced perfectly and comes on a hot skillet with a bunch of onions and peppers. It’s delicious. The chicken tikka is seasoned well and is always juicy and tender and very soft. The portions are generous, and the staff is incredibly welcoming and accommodating.

If you love Indian food but haven’t tried this spot yet, I would highly recommend it! You will not be disappointed.

Excellent experience all round

Worst experience. Bad food. We ordered paneer masala and it was sweet. Daal tadka was blend in taste and it had some extra amount of turmeric. Service was also bad. Server had his thumb dipped in our dish. Super unhygienic. Butter naan didn’t have any butter.
