We ordered 2 different kinds of parathas and 1 Rasmalai to share. I liked the potato paratha & the Radish (muli) paratha. They are large in size so bring your appetite! A great place for an informal meal and/or a snackVegetarian options: I was able to order vegetarian food easily.
Wonderful dosas, paratha, etc. ! All the food is vegetarian, homemade, made fresh, and delicious! Prices are low with friendly service. Basic decor, and seating.

All-veg, inexpensive, fast, yummy food. We had their Thali (was hoping for dosa but those are only are Fri/Sat/Sun), samosas, and eggplant with a couple roti's. Would definitely go back.

The have the best masala dosa on the weekend ... it's a South Indian specialty like a curry burrito ... served with all the dipping sauces . Their okra is phenomenal also . It's not a sexy place to eat but the food is some of my favorite in la -- like being at home in India. I pickup and leave if I can wait (I usually can't.) They give out sweets too. Very charming place.

This place has been around for such a long time! They have vegetarian Indian food and the most amazing selection of Indian sweets! The prices are incredible. I ordered a lunch which includes 3 sides, rice and two rotis for under $10! They don't take cards for purchases under $10 so bring cash. The chai is so delicious and the real deal. It's a little family owned place and nothing fancy. If you love vegetarian Indian food you have got to try them out!

I have not been able to travel for the last several years (COVID & other reasons) so when I was in LA last week I made a pilgrimage to India Sweet House. I only bought sweets, just a few, to bring back with me. Cashew burfee and besan ladoo. I did order rabri and ate it like a greedy child back at my friends house. When I return in November, I will have a dosa & more rabri. It is pure heaven! So glad I was able to visit!

The food is 5 star. I can't give that with the ambiance, which is below neutral. There isn't any. They should spend a couple grand on making the place look a little nicer. It's as drab as it gets. A paint job. Something pleasant to look at on the walls. Something that says WELCOME!But the food? Walked by there umpteen times, never went in. Never saw a crowd inside. Or anyone going in or out really. I do Indian food a lot, and I'm vegetarian. Usually Culver City adjacent. A couple years ago a friend and I went to every place to decide who had the best dosas. The answer was something was great everywhere, something else not so great. The crepe, the filling, the sambar, the chutneys. Finally went in a couple days ago, didn't want to deal with rush hour traffic and figured a half mile on Pico wouldn't be a big deal at 4 in the afternoon. Best dosa of them all. Before my first bite I knew it, just smelled different. They put something extra in that crepe, not just rice flour. Buckwheat maybe? It's more complex, and absolutely delish. Same thing with the filling. Was there with a friend who's been with me to the places on Venice Boulevard. He complimented the filling too. More ingredients, more complexity, more delish. Generous portion too, not that it's ever really a problem with the dosas. But more filling, not skimping on the masala part. The coconut chutney was similarly superior. Now it seems like the other places simply microwave the stuff you can buy in the freezer. The red spicy chutney wasn't on the same level. Wasn't bad, but needed more oomph IMO. I'm one that will never complain that something is too spicy or hot, although excess salt is a different thing. The sambar was different, more like a lentil soup and less like a vegetable one. I chatted up an older Indian gentleman, the only other person there eating. He said it's his favorite place, and asked me what I was ordering. I told him a brief history of how I discovered dosas. It's funny how the Indians at these authentic places always order them while everyone else gets the entrees they're more familiar with. One time at a similar place in Canoga Park I asked someone about that interesting bread looking thing everyone seemed to get, we'd get the lunch special with 3 entrees and all the extras. After my first dosa I never looked back. I can't wait to return to this place which is within walking distance. They raised their prices compared to the previous printed menu by 33% but it's still one of the most affordable meals around. That's another reason as a vegetarian I'm so fond of these authentic vegetarian Indian joints. The hipsters or whatnot made a lot of vegetarian places into overpriced jokes where you're not really saving anything by not eating meat. Still waiting for someone to explain to me how a veggie burger can cost more than a double cheeseburger at a lot of places, like how a pizza with 4 veggies isn't cheaper than the meat lovers special. It's b******** and I will never reward those places with my money. This might be the best Indian food in the city esp when you take what you get for your $$$ into account.

Very bad service of the front counter lady. We asked her very politely to change the old food because it was not fresh and she showed a lot of attitude and her tone was very arrogant If your going to go there think twice about it . We left without eating our food food and she didn’t even care.
Extremely poor service, dirty tables and bad quality food. Do not order chola bhatura, it is uncooked and was rubber like from inside. We shared feedback with lady in front and she was not ready to listen to us instead argued about the food. Do not deserve 1 star even. Never coming back here.

They care more about their $0.001 plastic plates than their customers.I politely asked to change from for-here to to-go. She said “but I already put the food on the [plastic] plate.” I just accepted it and ate in a rush and left. It wasn’t even crowded either.1) What difference would it have made if I had actually eaten for-here and then asked for a to-go box later?2) Why is preserving a plastic plate—that costs fractions of a penny—worth more than customer service satisfaction and future potential sales? You save a penny, but potentially lose a customer’s future visits and their positive recommendations and word of mouth to friends and family.
