“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!“

“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 🫖“

“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.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
If you're looking for the **best Indian restaurant in Downtown Los Angeles**, I highly recommend **Riwaaz Indian Cuisine & Banquet**. The food here is absolutely authentic and full of flavor—easily one of the top spots for Indian food in LA.
We ordered the **chicken tikka masala, biryani, Samosa Chaat, garlic naan, mutton curry and memna lamb curry** and every dish was rich, aromatic, and perfectly spiced. The **garlic naan** was fresh and soft, and paired perfectly with the creamy curry sauces. You can really taste the traditional Indian spices in every bite.
They also have great **vegetarian options** like paneer tikka and dal makhani, plus a variety of **vegan-friendly dishes**, which makes it a great place for everyone. Portions are generous, and the quality of the ingredients really stands out.
The ambiance is modern yet welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive. Whether you're dining in or trying their **weekend Indian buffet**, this place offers one of the best Indian dining experiences in downtown Los Angeles.
If you're craving **authentic Indian cuisine, flavorful curry, tandoori dishes, or the best biryani in Downtown LA**, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommend!“

“Went with a large group.
Flavors are good but it's a bit Americanized. We did enjoy the fusion poutine though. I was shocked that the paneer curry hardly had any paneer. Unfortunately we ordered 3 of those for the table so I had to tough through quite a bit of bell pepper 🥴
Waiter was nice but he kept forgetting to bring some of our stuff, but we got a free extra mango lassi out of it due to the confusion lol
Atmosphere - very chill place and food location
Overall I had a good time and would come here again if I'm in the area. It's a good starting point before some WeHo thrifting“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 can confirm. This is delicious Indian food.
Priced affordably. Do remember that they only accept venmo or cash.
The location is a bit strange in an old hotel, but there are signs to get you there no-issue.
All walls around you in the restaurant have expertly painted murals.“
“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.“

“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 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!“

“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“

“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!“

“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“
