48 Best Indian Restaurants near Encino

“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.“

“The host who founded the restaurant and learnt to cook by himself is also amazingly intelligent, friendly and helpful. Kudos to him!

The food is the BEST Punjabi food in US! Nothing more to add, PERIOD. Try it out and I might pay you if you're not completely satisfied!“

“As usual, the food was fantastic. We usually dine at the Woodland Hills restaurant, but decided to try Encino over Christmas. Noman
Is an exceptional manager, who made sure our meal was perfect and the service was as good as Woodland Hills. We highly recommend Anarbaugh. It is not just the best Indian food in The valley, but also one of the best restaurants overall in the valley.“

“Great, family-owned place with delicious, authentic Indian comfort food at reasonable prices (3 entrees, shareable appetizer, Naan, drinks, and 20+% tip for <$85). Servers were attentive, owners greeted everyone, atmosphere was welcoming.“

“Best Indian Food I've had in Los Angeles at any price point, not one question about it. We thought we'd "give it a try" after our other dinner plans fell through and it's the greatest find we've made in years. A truly unforgettable experience, the food feels like a more authentic take on the americanized Indian cuisine you'll find at most other spots. The amount of flavor packed into each bite is impressive to say the least. The service is top notch, I assume it's a family business as it's rare to see this level of passion and care elsewhere. Simply, run don't walk, or open that app stat, you will not be disappointed!“

“The best Indian food in the area. By locals for locals“

“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!“

“This is the second time I have ordered from this restaurant, and the Vizayawada biryani is absolutely delicious. You won't find another place in Los Angeles that serves biryani with such an authentic and flavorful taste. My suggestion would be to make the biryani spicier and add a bit more sauce for an even richer flavor.“

“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 🫖“

“This is an unforgivably overdue review and for that, I must apologize. My daughter and I eat at Agra Tandoori on average of once or twice a week -- and order for pickup or delivery at least once or twice a week more. Here in the San Fernando Valley, we are blessed with an absolute embarrassment of riches when it comes to Indian cuisine... and so many of the establishments are quite good. But there is simply none better than Agra Tandoori.

What sets them apart isn't simply their cuisine; it's their level of service as well. They want every customer, whether a regular or new, to have an enriching experience. The atmosphere is both calming and inviting, and everyone is welcomed in with warmth and appreciation. (And they are wished farewell in the same fashion when leaving.) This is an establishment which appreciates and values its clientele.

As for my daughter and myself -- and all of the family, friends, and clients we bring there as well -- we are treated like we family. Azim takes great pride in her restaurant, the food they serve, and her staff... and she truly knows her "regulars." We've all seen those restaurant owners who walk around greeting their customers, but this is different. Azim doesn't simply greet, she visits. She checks in with us, chats with my daughter as if she is her granddaughter, and swaps stories with us about what's going on in our lives. She's not just a restaurant owner or manager. After all these years, she's a friend.

And of course, the food. Azim loves to talk about the food. (And we love to eat it!) My daughter has a regular standard order that she wants every time -- Paneer Masala (simply magnificent!), garlic basil naan, and rice -- and Azim records it with a smile and a little tease, telling my daughter rather than asking. As for me, while I have my few favorites, every so often I like to trip Azim up and order something different. Everything on the menu is wonderful, whether it's one of the standards like chicken tikka masala, tandoori, biryani, etc., or something off of the beaten path. You simply cannot go wrong, no matter what you order at Agra Tandoori. The ingredients they use are all top-grade. The lamb is succulent, the spinach is fresh, the lentils are delicate, and the sauces are all rich and decadent. The chai tea, iced or hot, is delightfully satisfying. Oh, and for those it matters to, everything is certified halal.

The next time you are craving Indian food, come to Agra Tandoori. I promise you won't be sorry. And I'm fairly certain you'll be back.“

“Small hole in the wall with big flavor! I had the vegan options which were chick peas, eggplant and cauliflower. It was a little oily but all was delicious. The woman that served us was kind enough to let me know that the Naan was not vegan since they use butter to make it, most places won't even bother. I'd definitely go back.“

“Best place to eat on the westside.“

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

“I’ve looked Tikka Masala ever since I was a kid and eating at this place has just made my love for the food even better. I tried the Panner Tikka Masala with naan and I was happy with the food. It was fresh and hot! The naan was also hot and freshly cooked which made the meal completely better. I also ordered Shrimp Tikka which is something completely new to me and I loved it. It tastes like a kebab and very crispy. Great Customer Service! Lots of dishes to try from the menu. Check it out!“

“Indian spot located on the 2nd level off of Wilshire. When I typed the name in, Google maps took me to the one on Westwood, so make sure you’re putting in the right address if you’re intending to go here. Very limited street parking. Credit cards accepted. They do take reservations but when we went on a Thursday evening at 8pm, it wasn’t necessary. Masks required and they do check proof of vaccination, although they wanted a picture of the card and didn’t accept my digital CA QR code. Food is family style; the tandoori mix grill was a good way to get a variety of meats/seafood. The butter chicken was tasty. The peas pulao was a good complement to that sauce, though I preferred the garlic naan. They do serve alcohol. It’s good for big groups and they had a TV playing music videos inside. They were open fairly late on a weeknight, so it’s a good spot to get some food if you’re in the Brentwood area and get hungry, but don’t have a reservation anywhere.“

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

“The food is here is so good, one of the best Indian restaurants I have ever eaten at. Definitely Top 3 for me, and it’s an authentic, modest mom-and-pop restaurant. Every time I go, they are so kind and sweet. Will do my best to support them as small business owners in the neighborhood.“

“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 visited KING OF INDIA with my whole family and I couldn't believe that the food was so delicious anytime visit CALIFORNIA must stop by KING OF INDIA and it's one of our FAVORITE place all time,you guys ROCK.“

“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!“

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

“absolutely wonderful place.“

“Are here last night & had takeout 2 weeks ago 😃delicious both times ! Will be back when in Santa Monica as next 👍“

“Great food, even for vegetarians! But for some odd reason, the owner cut the only men's bathroom stall into two tiny stalls, so there's no room for your legs! Very strange decision that lacks respect and consideration for the restaurant's patrons.“

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

“Excellent Indian food . Must try !!“

“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.“

“The food is delicious, and the service very attentive. Thank you for a pleasant evening.“

“Delicious vegetarian food. I have been to this restaurant so many times and was happy every single time. Great location, friendly staff, hot food and good variety to choose from. Indian groceries they sell is another compelling reason to visit this place.“

“Lo mejor de lo mejor me encantó!!!“

“I eat here every time I’m in the area. The lunch buffet is phenomenal. You literally cannot be the quality for the price anywhere in L.A.
Tons of options for vegetarians and meat eaters alike. Sometimes there are even lamb or goat dishes.
Buffet comes with fresh naan as well and is good!
Rarely crowded as well. 10/10 recommended.“

“We came across this restaurant by surprise and love this Chutney restaurant. Not many places have Haleem and Nihari, but this one does! Everything we had was delicious. We ordered quite a few dishes, especially the whole tandoori chicken. The naan was hot, fluffy, and full of the aroma of garlic. The owner was friendly, courteous, and very humble and the price was very affordable.

Parking: There are plenty of meter parking around the Resturant.“

“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. 👍“

“Order delivery all the time never been until tonight. All I can say is wow, clean, amazing staff and fresh hot food. Told my husband no more delivery need to get in car and go there.“

“The boneless Chicken dum biryani is my favorite here, a must try dish for delicious spicy food lovers.“
