50 Best Indian Restaurants in Los Angeles

“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“

“Great food , excellent customer service and friendly I will stop by all the time, because food are delicious 🤤“

“Super delicious and authentic Indian cuisine!“

“Amazing Indian cuisine!!!!“

“Owners, Staff and overall teamwork has a sync. It won’t go wrong. Also if you know indian movies, their cocktail menu is worth exploring whether you drink or not!! They should try for Michelin Star / Michelin recommended restaurants.
Exceptional service.“

“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.“

“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 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! 👍👍👍👍👍“

“A group of 10 coworkers and I went here after work and it was amazing!!! I will definitely be coming here again with friends or for takeout. There are so many options at an affordable price. I got the two item combo with garlic naan, and I had plenty of food to take home afterwards. Service was awesome, the owners are super friendly, and food came out fast.“

“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.“

“Excelente food and service. Big portions. You won’t leave hungry from here for sure…“

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

“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!“

“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!“

“The food was very good. I ordered chicken tandoori, biryani, and garlic naan, and everything was fresh and tasty. However, the restaurant does not have a restroom. My kids needed to use the bathroom, and unfortunately, we were told no. For that reason, I would not return, as I prefer restaurants that have restroom facilities, especially when dining with children.“

“Adavsha Mohammed was a lovely server and human. We thank him for his kindness, the buffet was delightful the atmosphere was soothing and when we asked to change the music from modern night club music to soothing Indian music instead they accommodated us and it made the experience that much more enjoyable.“

“Awesome atmosphere, service & food. The staff is excellent and you are given plenty of time to relax.“

“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).“

“I'm here just about every other weekend to get takeout for the family. The Indian flavors really come through in an exciting way. The rotisserie chicken is one of the best I've found in LA, and it's not even the best chicken on the menu. Anything with beans are a must-have.“

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

“Delicious! Great Indian food and great tikka masala burrito!“

“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!“

“If you're a fan of flavorful, authentic biryani and crave a dining experience that perfectly blends tradition with modern flair,must-visit.“

“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.“

“I've been going to Gill's for years. Everything I've had here has been over the top good. The flavors are amazing. The tandoori chicken is perfectly seasoned and smoky. All the curry based dishes are incredibly tasty. The coconut chicken is spot on. The average dish is $12-$15...what a deal! The restaurant is way in the back of the very old Stillwell Hotel. I happened to walk in once when they were unloading their groceries. LOTS of boxes of fresh produce. Not a bunch of canned and frozen stuff. That explains a lot of why the food is so good here. If you like Indian food, this is the place to go...and such a bargain!“

“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.“

“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.“

“It's my 1st time @ an Indian restaurant like this 1. The service is great and friendly. Also, the food is so delicious. Especially the Alu Samosa and the Mango Lassi because they're officially my favorite stuff.“

“Best place ever“

“nice people, nice food, give us good mango dessert too, not to mention fast service❤“

“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 had a wonderful dining experience at this Bangladeshi restaurant. We tried a variety of dishes, including Alu vorta, Shutki vorta, Rui fish curry, chicken roast, duck curry and beef, plain rice, Tehari (to go), tea, doi, roshgolla, and Malai vog. Every single item was delicious and well-prepared. The flavors were authentic and reminded us of true Bangladeshi home-style cooking. The duck curry was especially tasty, and the vorta dishes were fresh and full of flavor. Desserts were also great and a perfect way to end the meal. Overall, all the food items were very good, and we really enjoyed our meal. Highly recommended for anyone who loves Bangladeshi cuisine!“

“Excellent, can't wait to go back & try something else!!!“

“Who wanna go.....I’z hungry lawd🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽🍽“

“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 live in Virginia and tried to place an order with a restaurant with a similar name. Somehow wires got crossed and the order was placed with this restaurant. When the food wasn’t picked up the restaurant went out of the way to track me down and reimburse the charge. This is a restaurant worth your businesses. Good people are sometimes hard to find and should be recognized!“

“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“

“লাস্ট দিন সব ধরনের গ্রিল আর নান ট্রাই করছিলাম। একটা গ্রিল এভারেজ লাগছে। বাকিগুলা ভাল ছিল। প্লেটিংও ভাল ছিল। বাট আজ ফুচকা ট্রাই করলাম। সিরিয়াসলি ইট ওয়াস ব্লাস্ট!!! এত জোস ছিল বলার বাইরে!!! খালি টকটা গরম দিলে ভাল হত.. বাকিটা জোস ছিল। ২ প্লেট শেষ করে আবার অর্ডার করছি!! 😍🥰😋😋 দেশের বাইরে দেশি খাবারের স্বাদ পেলে কার না ভাল লাগে।!!“

“Came to visit Los Angeles for the weekend and stumbled across this Plaza across from my Hotel Intercontinental.
Wow Saffron Indian food. ... amazing flavor for a fast food Curry chicken must visit for warm home cooked. I'm A filipina lady and love my delicious filipino food but Indian food always good to!!!!“

“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!“

“very good flavor ...original cuisine“

“Owner was courteous and helpful. Order to go lunch before opening but he took and prepared all fresh and food was tasty and great quality. I order dal fry, rice and potato sabji with green onion. It was mouth watering and in sufficient qty and price is too reasonable in LA city. Just that ambience and seating facility is not that great and to go or delivery is recommended as it's small restaurant.“

“Nice place to be excellent in their services“

“My first time eating here and I LOVED IT!!!! So amazingly fresh with new dishes I had never tried. the Chapai are #AMAZING!!!“

“Authentic Indian flavours we tried lunch plate and 4 dishes between the 2 of us, all tasted good: saag paneer, chicken and lamb curry and dhal. All extra green and red chili sauces were tangy and fresh. The only minor point was rice was not basmati but it’s nice they offered a brown rice option. Highly recommend for a quick tasty lunch

Vegetarian options: Chickpea or saag curry“
