India's Restaurant

We visited around 1:30 PM on Thursday and were so grateful to find Indian food in LA! The food was decent, and the Telugu gentleman working there gave us some great suggestions. 🍛👍 #IndianFood #LA

As a UK-born Punjabi guy, I know my Indian food, and this place delivered. The vegetarian menu was excellent — the paneer dishes were rich and properly spiced, not the bland version you sometimes get. The peshwari naan was a standout too, perfectly stuffed and not overly sweet. Good portion sizes, friendly staff, and food that actually tastes homemade. Will definitely be back

I had the mix veggie pakora which was crispy and good. I liked how they gave free papad. Paneer tikka masala and Malai Kofta were decent, not top tier quality but this restaurant has good Indian food especially at an affordable cost. Portion is good, however they could have added more paneer chunks in our tikka masala.

I was excited about this place, because I love Indian food, unfortunately it was disappointing, cold food, very spicy, the grill chicken has a peculiar smell and taste. They served us a naam bread that was old, cold and hard. Their plates was not clean, there was old food or something stuck to the plate, same as the utensils. Unfortunately I cannot recommend this place.

We had a very shocking and upsetting experience here on the night of 30th December. We had just begun our dinner when my 11-year-old son started choking on something in his dal–rice. He was crying and struggling, and after a lot of effort he finally managed to spit it out. It turned out to be a black plastic piece, similar to what is used in disposable takeaway spoons. This could have been extremely dangerous. When we informed the manager (the turban guy), he did not even ask how my son was or whether he needed water or help. Instead, he immediately went into defensive mode, repeatedly saying that he has been working in restaurants for 13 years, that he "swears by his work," and that they "do not use any black plastic at all." My husband then asked him directly whether they do takeaway from the kitchen, because the plastic could have been from a cutlery they use in takeaway spoon that might have broken or fallen in by mistake. At that moment the manager went completely silent — but still did not sincerely apologize or show basic sensitivity or concern for a choking child. We had hardly taken two bites of food; the entire dinner was still on the table. Yet the discussion from their side shifted toward the bill, instead of our son’s safety. Only after repeated confrontation came a reluctant "sorry," which felt more formal than genuine. We were very upset and deeply frustrated by this behavior. For context, we chose this restaurant because it was late at night — around 10:30–11 p.m., after visiting Griffith Observatory — and as a vegetarian Indian, there were hardly any other Indian restaurants open at that hour. We trusted this place for dinner, and this incident was extremely disappointing. This was a very bad and very shocking experience for us as parents. If anyone else had been in our place, they would probably have recorded the entire conversation — but we were focused on our child. Finding plastic in food, a child choking and crying, and then receiving no empathy from management is unacceptable. We left without eating. I sincerely hope the owners take this seriously, review their food-safety practices, and train staff in basic customer sensitivity so no other family has to go through this. I have attached the picture of the thing which caused choking to my son.
