I thought the food was flavorful and not too spicy. The staff was very helpful and engaging. A nice change from the standard fare.

This is place absolute 5/5!
Tbh, i was hesitating to go at first bcz of the reviews. I saw a few 1 star and figured out most of them were written in the past.
I got the Bombay plate (2 entree + Basmati Rice + Naan + Salad) and it's $16.95. This was a great move that i didnt get Masala bowl ($13.95), which has one entree. Because their Tikka Masala and Chicken Tandoori are soooo goooood!!
I also upgraded the naan to garlic naan, and they made it warm right after I ordered. It was thin naan, but i liked how it was crunchy.
And the service is 6/5. The owner guy is one of the kindest owner ive ever met!
There are a bunch of options. And I wish I could tried other entrees and sides.

Once again, amazing flavors, amazing staff, amazing food! Walking in you can smell the delicious food, making you even more excited to eat. I got the chicken tikka masala again with a side of garlic naan. The blend of spices, chicken, rice, & the naan was so good left you wanting more. Great portions & I'll be coming back here again.

Jun 20, 2023Previous reviewAmazing. Food was seasoned so well. the spices, the creaminess, the flavor was all perfect. the rice paired well with it but the garlic naan added such a great flavor to an already flavor packed plate. definitely will be coming back especially for the freshly made garlic naan & the delicious chicken tikka masala. the employee was very nice & helpful & patient im grateful for the service she provided today. The setting was nice, right on Hollywood & the music from the restaurant was fantastic. Thank you for reading !

One of the worst places to eat in LA. I would not recommend anyone to go here. Moreover, they will overcharge you if you are not paying attention. So, take a receipt after you place an order and double-check it.

Such a yummy lunch! The owner, Sach, was super nice and they use a clay oven to make naan bread!

We've had a lot of Indian food in our lives, though this is the first time we've had "fast food" Indian and the experience, overall, was not our favorite.
We're used to ordering and sharing dishes at a sit-down Indian place so we were looking for guidance from the staff member on how to order here and he, we think, steered us in the wrong direction. My wife and I both ended up getting Masala Bowls (A single dish over rice). The Saag Paneer and Yellow Daal. It was too much of both. We easily could have shared a single "Bombay Plate" which comes with 2 entrees, rice and salad, and had plenty to eat. OR we could have just ordered sides of what we wanted.
On top of which the food wasn't particularly good. The Saag Paneer (which is my litmus test at Indian places) was good enough although not anything to write home about. The Yellow Dal was way too salty and my wife didn't want to eat much of it as a result.
I also had a vegetable samosa which was fine, but again nothing particularly special.
The air conditioning doesn't work and it's been awfully warm here in L.A. so it wasn't particularly comfortable dining in there either. The staff member let me know it had been out since early summer. :/
If you're in a hurry and you're looking for Indian, this place might do the job but I wouldn't expect anything too memorable.
