“Exquisite ambience, innovative food and nice service! Went there for the dinner on Valentine’s and it was worth every penny. The dishes are really innovative and still have that touch of Indian food. Apt and balanced spices. Loved the way they have put in so much efforts in improvising the dishes.I ordered butter chicken pot pie, garlic naan, dum biryani, death by chocolate.Dessert was a 3/5 though, it wasn’t really that tasty.“
“Edited for recent visit on 2/7/24:Finally got to try the malai pasta. It did not disappoint in flavor and was fantastic. I think adding some meatballs would further elevate this dish with some protein. Lamb sliders were also super tasty. The pizza was fine but was made better by dipping it in the malai pasta sauce. The staff were gracious and helpful. Significantly improved from my previous visit. Would come back.Malai pasta: 4.5/5Lamb sliders: 4.5Green tikka pizza: 3.5Old review:I’ll admit we didn’t have the pasta. Between the pizza, wings, and something else we had we left feeling pretty underwhelmed. We asked a couple next to us about their wings which were different than ours and their response was a similar “meh”.Indian food and Italian food should be full of flavors, this fusion of flavors seemed to be meant for the palate of someone who had never had any ethnic food. I appreciate the attempt, but I felt it was poorly executed. I might give them a try again as it has been awhile.“

“The food and service at the new location are just as wonderful as the original location. I look forward to more of my favorite dishes coming over. For now, I am enjoying trying new dishes and the lunch specials are a great deal. The team members are extremely friendly/inviting, and I always enjoy their recommendations.“
“Nice place to get together with friends and or family and enjoy delicious Indian food. The service is good and the ambiance is cool. We went there on a Sunday for brunch and we had a really good time, there's a DJ on the premises to dance a little if you so desire... Enjoy it my dear “
“Wow! This is such an amazing and unique concept! I love the frankies selection from the menu. I tried Chicken Tikka Masala Frankie and Crispy Frisch Frankie and I’m satisfied! The frankies are made from naan which was freshly baked and the fish and chicken were nicely cooked and overall it was amazing! Reasonable pricing for the size of the food. Amazing service from the business and highly recommended to try if your looking for something new!“
“This place was so good! I live really close to this place and I always walk past it. A couple of days ago I decided to go in and check it out, I was very surprised at how good it was, they give nice portions too ! I had the chicken tikka masala and curry chicken! Very flavorful! Also the lentils, I recommend this place ! The owner was nice too“
“Amazing food. I ordered takeout for maharani thali and man do I love it. The taste was so authentic would visit again when ever I am in California to get some amazing Rajasthani food. To all who are thinking about trying, give it a shot you would not regret it.“
“What can I say? I have NO WORRIES about eating here hehehhehehe…. A super chill dude whipping up some fire curry and it’s very affordable? Hell yeahThere’s an $18.99 double curry deal with rice and a drink, highly recommend the saag paneer and garlic naan.“

“I am never disappointed when I order food from Appu's Cafe. I have tried almost everything on the menu and found it to be delicious, a good value for the price, and always ready on-time when I order online. The staff is kind and pleasant and very accomodating (sometimes I need to ask for the spice level to go down a few levels!). Excellent value all the way around!“
“I was out in Whittier today and found this sppt that opened a few months ago! I found parking right in front and the owner was super friendly. He also offered samples and they were good. I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and Spinach&Cheese on my 2 item plate with Garlic Naan! Everything was fresh and delicious the Garlic Naan was also huge and amazing. Will definitely be back for more Indian food in the future!“
“Visiting from Vancouver and came across this sweet little restaurant. Food was absolutely amazing - fresh, flavourful, and delicious! My wife and I are quite picky about Indian food but this place hit the mark! We had to go back one more time before we left L.A. They were closing that day but the owner was super kind and let us in. Will definitely come back to this place the next time we visit L.A.“
“First time here,ordered Chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. The chicken itself was good,the sauce was too sweet for my liking. Garlic naan was really good.I will not fault the restaurant for the sauce,this is the way they make it,and it’s not bad by any means,just too sweet for my tastes.“
“BEST CURRY around. Best curry in all of LA that I've tried and thankfully their prices are acceptable for our family to be able to come here and eat. Highly recommend. Tikka Masala is excellent and garlic naan is yummy. If bringing children they will likely be able to handle the masala but be sure to sample anything else to test the spiciness. I enjoy it All but not everyone has the same pallet. I almost always eat in the parking lot in my car because it's too good to wait to get home! I'm writing this review from my car after thoroughly enjoying yet another meal from Curry Hut La Mirada. Thanks again!“
“I eat Indian food a couple of times a month. There's a great place in Inglewood for Indian food, when I lived around there. However, it is too far now and too expensive for casual eating.I have some friends who are Indian who sometimes make really amazing dishes.Punjabi hits the button on being close and price. It's a bargain for what you get. They even give you a nice little dessert!The sauces could be more spicy. They are toned down for the locale. Im sure if I ask for extra spicy, they'd do so, but it works as it is for my family to eat.If you want some Indian food to hit the spot without breaking the bank, give this place a shot. Just ask for extra spice or extra spice seasoning on the side if you like it to burn.“
“A very enjoyable meal. Had a starter and a mains. Both excellent and felt full at the end. I sat outside and people watched. The service was excellent, very attentive. The price on a par with other restaurants on the front. Will be going again before going home“
“Oh my goodness, this is my first time trying chicken tikka masala and it's INCREDIBLE! This is the best Indian curry i've tasted so far! Even better than the restaurants I went to in my trip to UK. (They were probably not the best rated and I didn't check reviews, lmao.) I ordered through uber eats, but I will definitely come here next time. Wow!“
“I enjoy Indian cuisine very much because of the species and fresh ingredients they use daily preparing so much flavors in the food. I enjoy the spinach and cheese it's amazing flavors like the spices and spinach and especially the cheese it add texture and flavor to dish. The other dish I really enjoy is chicken Tikka Masala one of my favorite so much flavor I enjoy it. The naan bread is very good I took a piece of the naan bread scoop in the chicken tikka Masala getting the fully flavor of naan bread and chicken Takla masala.“
“I was searching for a decent Indian restaurant just to have Pav Bhaji without keeping high hopes, since I’ve been here for a couple of weeks now and had no expectations regarding the quality of Indian food from local restaurants. However, let me tell you, when I reached there, I saw an option for an Indian Thali with 2 curries priced at just $14. Since a lot of Indian people were already having their dinner, I thought to give it a try, and I almost felt like I was having homemade food after such a long period. Everything was simple yet finger-licking tasty. Now it’s my favorite place, and I plan to order only from here whenever I’m in town.Value for money and amazing taste, do give it a try.“
“My fiancé (he's Indian) and I have lived in LA for over two years now and we had yet to find any good Indian places that were to our satisfaction, until now! We're so happy that Amaravathi Express is here! The flavors are on point and well balanced and the service is impeccable. We've already been back twice and already looking forward to our next trip back, which is an hour drive and still totally worth it for quality Indian food.“
“Just had an amazing dining experience at Curry Time Restaurant! ? From the moment I walked in, the warmth and friendliness of the owners made me feel right at home. It's not just about the food here (which, by the way, is absolutely fresh and delicious), but also about the wonderful atmosphere they've created. Every dish we tried was bursting with flavors, and you can tell they use the freshest ingredients. Plus, the cleanliness of the place is impeccable. If you're looking for a cozy spot with mouthwatering dishes and welcoming vibes, Curry Time is the place to be! #CurryTime #DeliciousFood #WarmHospitality #CleanAndTasty“
“It's been a month since I had the Chicken Tikka Poutine and I still think about it fondly. Not only was the food the best thing I had in my Los Angeles trip, it traveled WONDERFULLY, managing to still be in restaurant condition after about 30 minutes of stewing in a takeout container.Excellent ingredients, prep, and clear research done on the best to-go packaging necessary to make a star dish edible on receipt. Cannot recommend enough.“
“Owners are very friendly people. Raj is very nice and funny. He’s got GREAT customer services .. top notch. Food is amazing! Lots of snacks to choose from. Food made fresh to order. I strongly suggest you try RT Kitchen for parties and any event!Vegetarian options: Everything is vegan here, and delicious ?⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Parking: It’s tricky getting in, but plenty of parkingWheelchair accessibility: Handicap parking right at front door.“
“I’ve eaten here a few times and never been disappointed. I normally go for the lamb curry. The food is always fresh and very tasty. One thing you’ll notice is there’s no salt and pepper on the table because there’s no need for it. If you love Indian food, this is definitely a must try Restaurant.“
“Went to grab dinner here before a Laker game and absolutely loved it. We ordered the Mekhani chicken, basmati rice, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas and it was all delicious. We also had a mango lassi and masala tea, which were fantastic. The service was great, super kind man who chatted with us a bit. He kindly gave us some free dessert at the end, which was also delicious (I forgot what it was called but it was shredded carrot in a sweet milk with nuts. So good!). It is cash/Venmo only, so be prepared with either.“
“Breakfast and lunch are great at Tray. Everything on the menu is delicious!! Top notch staff as well. The Buttermilk Fried chicken is a Wednesday favorite. They also recently added an amazing Torta to the menu. This place is a DTLA hidden gem!“
“Best place to have authentic vegetarian food. You will feel like home food. No fancy and unhealthy food colors or spices. I love it. The person named Meet is usually the one on counter and he is so attentive that you will like the experience.“
“Wow! What a great chef and owner. He was friendly and helpful; making whatever we desired. The menus is a bit crazy but after talking with the chef I didn’t even need the menu. Food and service were next level. The chef worked with all my dietary restrictions. Great place if you are complicated. Maybe not great if celiac, but good if you are gluten free, dairy free and soy free like me! I had lamb dosa and vegan las! Soooooo yum!!!!!!The vibe was okay, not great and I wish they didn’t use styrofoam plates and plastic cutlery.Vegetarian options: This place had meat and non-meat options. The chef will make what you want. That all said there are vegetarian only Indian places in the neighborhood.Dietary restrictions: The chef worked with all my dietary restrictions. Great place if you are complicated. Maybe not great of celiac but good if you are gluten free, dairy free and soy free like me!Kid-friendliness: They had American food if your kid isn’t a huge Indian fan.“
“This evening I found the nearest Indian restaurant. My favorite thing to eat is the fermented scallion pancake. I really like it and can’t get enough of it every time. I also love the Indian samosas in picture 4, and I must order them every time. The roasted chicken in picture 3 is not only beautiful but also delicious. The skin is perfectly crispy, which is very good. He also had a very good attitude and introduced the characteristics of the dishes when he served them to us.“
“We visited this place while shopping in the area and were pleased by the food they serve here. I have not found any other place that serves kulcha like this place. Other dishes are equally good to have. We have visited twice so far and have not been disappointed. The food is made to order, with generous filling in their paratha and kulcha. I would recommend to go eat at this place if you are start remembering the 'paraunthe' you get in Punjab.“
“I don't have photos , but this place is awesome expeince.The place offers regular pizza and also Middle Eastern India flare so many different options to the expeince..I can tell the have a lot of passion for thier work..My hat is off to them good service fresh good toppings and varieties..I'll be back one day..Thanks So Much for the great pizza experince..Chicago Pizza Rocks..???“
“Woo hoo! Now THIS place is truly and utterly "ah-mazing". The India Restaurant is not only drop dead gorgeous, but the service is 5-Star all the way! The India truly comprises the best of everything, the food, the decor and the top-notch service. Now I have to say I am not an Indian food expert, but everything and I mean everything I tasted, was delicious. The staff seemed to anticipate our every need. Indeed, my 5 year old granddaughter said she was thirsty even before we sat down and one of the staff must have heard her and immediately brought her her own cup (with lid and straw!) of water without even being asked! Impressive. The Nan bread was exceptional and all the different dishes we had, from butter chicken to chicken Tiki Masala and several others, were perfection itself. I wish I would have gotten the names of the staff so I could commend them individually, but it was a busy family table, so...suffice it to say they were ALL marvelous, professional but kind. I am sooo going back! Butter chicken here I come! ☆☆☆☆☆+Vegetarian options: Not a vegetarian, however I sampled several vegetarian dishes my daughter in law had ordered and they were DELICIOUS! I may just have to go a little vegetarian next time! Lol!Kid-friendliness: The staff treated my 5 year old granddaughter and 19 month grandson with kindness and respect, indeed they anticipated their needs immediately and brought both of them their own water cups with lid and straw, without being asked!“
“Went back a second time and tried the Chicken Behrani off the lunch special menu. Once again, the food was bomb and the amazing service is always such an unexpected surprise but very much appreciated. Their lunch menu is $12.99 and has a bunch of other options to check out. I will definitely be stopping by whenever I am in the area for work.“
“Arm The Punjab Restaurant offers an unparalleled culinary experience, and their signature touch lies in their incredibly pungent onions. Every dish bursts with flavor thanks to these onions, adding a depth and richness that is truly remarkable. Whether it's the fragrant biryanis or the savory curries, the intense aroma of the onions elevates every bite to perfection Pit. Their dishes boast an unmistakable aroma that is sure to delight anyone with a fondness for the smell of stenchy onions. From the moment you step in, you're enveloped in the tantalizing scent, signaling a culinary adventure like no other. If you're seeking an experience where the aroma of onions reigns supreme, look no further than The Punjab Restaurant. It's a five-star destination for onion enthusiasts everywhere!“
“This is hands down one of my favorite restaurants. The food is so authentic and delicious! Chicken masala, mango lassi, butter chicken, palak paneer, chicken biryani rice, chai, rasmalai, gulab jamun, garlic naan…everything we order is absolutely amazing!!“
