"Best Indian food (especially their vegetarian menu) in Los Angeles. Their flavors are so rich and unlike any of the dime a dozen Indian restaurants in LA. This may be due to their North Indian recipes that differ from the common South Indian flavors that are in most restaurants. Their food is simply incomparable and I’ve grown up eating Indian food from all the local hot spots. If you’re unsure of where to go- you MUST try this place."

"If I could give zero stars, I would! My family and I came into this establishment a few days ago to have dinner. Mind you, it was a bit late, but the restaurant had a good while before closing. I’m not sure if it was due to that reason or what, but the staff there were so incredibly rude. From the second we walked in, the tension in the air was felt. No warm welcome or greeting and we were just pointed to where we should sit. From sitting to ordering, the same attitude persisted and it just messes up the entire mood of the family dinner. The food was alright too! Since we were the only people there and sitting close to the kitchen, we could hear microwaves going off in the back. Save the trouble and money and go else where. I’d like to recommend a few in downtown, Santa Monica and the Hollywood area."

"Great Indian food around the area that I would highly recommend. Personally had the Channa masala and it was a major hit. Fair pricing and average service, but the food was outstanding. The ambiance was a bit quiet but it hardly mattered."

"Super delicious food! We ordered chicken tikka masala, some garlic naan and mixed tandoori. Everything was very tasty! They also have good selections of Indian beers!"

"Its a nice cosy indian restaurant on the first floor of a commercial complex in front of Ralph's. We came in here for dinner and the restaurant was completely empty, not a single soul so i got a bit skeptical but went ahead and ordered some food as i was really hungry. We got chicken makhani, coconut fish curry , garlic naan and taj mahal special naan . I loved the food , the preparation was really good, taste was authentic. Fish curries can be tricky but they did it right . The only thing i would say is quantity could be tad more than what the prices are put up for. The garlic naan was good , I didn't like the Taj Mahal special naan , it was kinda bland , kinda raw on the sides and didn't quite come out for me , i would skip that when here. Overall nice visit ."
