a very popular spot in the area and now i know why!! honestly I'm amazed at how many indian spots are in the area, but Abhiruchi is definitely up there. with the quick service, amazing food and fair price- it's definitely a go to! we ordered the saag paneer, gobi manchurian, lamb tikka masala, and garlic naan. stand outs are DEFINITELY the gobi manchurian!!! It's so hard to find gobi manchurian that is flavorful, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside and this one just blew me away! 10/10 the saag paneer, lamb tikka masala and garlic naan were also delicious, but quite standard imo! solid 8/10 for all. read more

Absolutely LOVED this place! The ambiance was amazing, the service was wonderful, and the food was DIVINE! Everything was so delicious, and don't even get me started on the dessert--it was SO good! I even brought my little nephew, who is still a baby, and he enjoyed the naan bread SO much! They were so sweet and welcoming about letting him enjoy it, which made the whole experience even cuter. Such a wonderful spot for the whole family, but also PERFECT for a date night! If you're in Culver City and looking for amazing Indian food, definitely check this place out! Easily one of my favorite Indian food spots in Culver City! read more

I enjoyed my meal here very much. They have a more varied menu than the average Indian restaurant, and it was nice to try something new. Staff were friendly and helpful. There's free parking in the back. Definitely worth a second visit. read more

Perfect lunch. Walked here and ordered lamb kurma, garlic naan and chai hot. Flavors in the chai were warm and soft, delicious. I paused briefly to enjoy the tea while the kitchen busily prepared my meal. Staff were courteous and gracious. The kurma was full of mystical delights in a very smooth subtle sauce. Naan was fresh, with sesame seeds and just enough garlic to stand on its own; I however smothered it and it was devoured quickly dipped in small tastes of the Kurma. Crazy storefront on Venice Blvd but walk back to the dining room. The music and romantic videos playing on multiple screens completed the experience of warm south Asian hospitality. Can't wait for leftovers tomorrow and my next visit. read more

Abhiruchi Grill Indian Restaurant - Lamb Kurma with rice, garlic naan and chai. - Indian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this spot for a while since we frequent Dama Grill nextdoor. We ordered takeout and were pleasantly surprised by how cheap the order came out to be (thinking that Abhiruchi just got set up on the app and was offering discounts to entice potential customers). However, I was underwhelmed by the food. The butter chicken was delicious -- well seasoned and not *too* overwhelmingly buttery/creamy. Gobi manchurian was also superb, but the batter was a little heavy so the cauliflower didn't maintain it's crispiness when it arrived at my place. I was most excited for the gutti vankaya (eggplant curry), but it was bland. The garlic naan was limp and flavorless as well. Disappointing. read more

So spicy! Too spicy for me, but this place was recommended to me by a friend, so I had to try it out. I told her it was too spicy for me and she said, oh, I should have told you. If you want authentic Indian food, come here! They have a lot in the back and no one or hardly anyone dines it, it's mostly takeout orders. The vibe is casual, they have YouTube Indian music videos playing. read more

I am a biryani snob and make the best biryani but the vijayawada chicken biryani here is the best biryani I have ever had. Kudos to the chef!! I have demoted my biryani to #2. Everything about this biryani was exceptional. The rice was perfectly cooked. It comes with one bone in chicken piece and boneless chicken pieces on the top. Both versions of chicken were sooooo juicy and tender. I wish the biryani had a bit more spice but I tend to like things a little spicier. The biryani even had half a boiled egg, fancy! The flavors were just divine! A side of raita was also included and it was also really good. A must for biryani! Can't wait to order this again and also try out their other biryanis. Garlic naan was delicious as well. Vegetable samosas were good, came with green chutney and tamarind sauce. Great authentic cuisine. I ordered on Postmates so I can't speak on the interior of the restaurant. read more

My first time trying Abhiruchi Grill and I was not disappointed. I ordered the Boneless Chicken Biryani and it was very good. I asked them to make it spicy and it was perfect. I'll definitely be trying them again. read more

Abhiruchi Grill Indian Restaurant - Boneless Chicken Biryani - Indian Near Me - Los Angeles, California

I shy away from empty restaurants but trusted Yelp to steer me to good Indian food. Once seated I noticed a full rack of takeout orders. Ahh, folks prefer to eat at home instead of in the restaurant. It did take quite awhile for the food to appear but it was worth it. Chicken Tikka Masala is my benchmark dish when I try a new Indian restaurant and it was delicious. The service was attentive (almost too attentive and hovering) but friendly and good. The TVs show elaborate Indian dancing and singing that is somewhat unique to their culture and entertaining. Recommended if you're craving good Indian cuisine. read more

Came here for dinner with a friend for dinner on a weekday around 7pm, and it's an authentic spot for Indian food. There is free parking available in the back as well as metered parking in the front. Credit cards accepted. It seems that they do a lunch buffet, although the buffet is not available as a dinner option. We had garlic naan, chicken tandoori, Kadai curry, and veg Manchurian, and it was plenty of food - we had leftovers. The waiter did verify with us if we could handle spicy food since the curry and Manchurian were spicy, and they indeed were, although they were still manageable. The garlic naan came with two pieces cut in half and was very warm. The chicken tandoor came out sizzling on a hot grill and had a rich red color - that was my favorite dish. read more

The all you can eat lunch buffet is a pretty good deal if you're looking to max out on food, but the quality of the food itself isn't the best. The rotis were a bit stale from sitting out, and there weren't a ton of options for curries. They do have made-to-order dosas for the buffet which are a must-try. Staff are friendly! read more

The Vijayawada Paneer Biryani at Abhiruchi Restaurant is very tasty and spicy. The paneer is soft, and the rice is full of flavor. It has a strong Andhra-style masala that makes it stand out. If you like spicy food, you will really enjoy it. A must-try for anyone looking to experience a flavorful, Andhra-style vegetarian biryani. read more

Very Americanized Indian food, dishes were too sweet and not very flavorful. Would not recommend unless you have preference for sweet leaning Indian food read more

If you're in Los Angeles and craving some incredible Indian food, look no further than Abhiruchi Grill. I recently tried their special Abhiruchi curry and the chicken korma - both were absolutely packed with flavor! The spice level is perfect for those who love a bit of heat (you might even break a sweat!). The garlic naan was a delicious side, warm and perfectly seasoned. Next time, I'm definitely trying their cheese naan and the butter chicken, which I've heard great things about. They also offer a lunch and dinner buffet, but we didn't have time to join this time - something to look forward to for sure! Service was great, the servers were friendly and happy to answer questions. Very cozy to eat here as well, I'm already planning for my return here haha :) Overall, highly recommended for anyone looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food in LA! read more

Absolutely phenomenal. A friend told me about Abhiruchi and mentioned they have the BEST biryani, so I decided to try it out myself! We had- Veggie pakora- HUGE quantity! Delicious, crispy pakoras with green chutney Chicken tikka masala- Super flavorful, spicy with the right amount of kick Veg biryani- Oh man, my friend was right, this is the best biryani I've ever had in LA. Extremely well seasoned throughout, generous amount of veggies, I ate the biryani all by itself (no raita/chutney) and thoroughly enjoyed it Garlic naan- I actually loved how thin and crispy their naan was, a generous amount of garlic, too! Vegetable chettinadu- So good, loved the flavor and had the right amount of spice, also a handful of veggies Everything tasted amazing, I can def see why they're known for their biryani. Service was also great, and they have a parking lot in the back which was an added plus, I can't wait to bring my mom here! read more

The vijayawada chicken biryani is the some of the best Indian food in the city, hands down!

It was good! Came here twice already, and the biryani was good. Would come again! Just a warning for peanut allergy for one of the sauces they serve. read more

Hubby and I love Indian buffet. Since the pandemic more restaurants stopped offering buffet. We are so happy that more restaurants are offering the buffet again. Abhiruchi Grill's buffet is delicious! It's our first time dining here on 2/23/24 and glad they had the buffet on a Friday. Lunch buffet is about $20 which includes tax on Tuesday-Friday only. They offer a good selection. We enjoyed all the food! the butter chicken was delicious. They had a good amount of spice not too much where you can't enjoy the food. The spicy ones had a good kick to it. The chips are amazing! Dipping it in the green and brown sauce were match made in heaven! The service was great. Everyone was friendly and attentive. They came by often to check up on us. The ambiance is clean and relaxing. Looking outside you wouldn't think it was a nice place until you walk in. They have a big place to accommodate large groups. They also have parking in the rear of the restaurant which makes it so convenient. If you like Indian food, definitely try this place. We are glad we found this gem. Now we don't have to keep looking as we already found our new favorite Indian restaurant that offers a delicious buffet. Highly recommend! read more

Such a solid Indian meal. My friend and I who were not super hungry split an order of butter chicken and garlic naan. The naan was hot and fresh, crispy on the edges and chewy on the inside. The butter chicken blew me away. I genuinely wish I could bottle the sauce. It has such a well balanced flavor and I know I will be craving this again, would consider this a must order! There is parking in the back! read more

Perfect take out/delivery option. Biryani and gobi Manchurian were both great, fish curry was also solid.

Highly rate this for their biryani. The vijaywada biryani always hits the spot. The best Telugu food in LA in my opinion. The ambience is very average so I always end up doing take out. But the food always makes up for it. read more

The best biriyani on the planet! I have brought family members and those visiting to come and try the cuisine. They all leave wanting more. Delicious food, friendly staff and a great dining experience overall. Highly recommend for anyone looking for delicious Indian cuisine that tastes like you are back in India! read more

So great! The naan is amazing. The tandoori chicken is amazing. All the curries were amazing. Will definitely be back!

Food here is some of the best in the city! It is our go to for the best Indian food. Service is great as well.

We went in very hungry and with lots of expectations. Service was good, but we were there late, so the observation might not be accurate. Food was mediocre. We had chicken chilli. It didn't taste fresh, tasted nothing like chicken chilli, had way too much soy sauce, and saugy. Gobi Manchurian was also saugy and didn't taste that good. Veggie biryani was too hot to be able to taste anything and it had way too much spice mix. This item doesn't work for anyone with mild to medium spice level preference. They sell biryani as medium spicy, but its really 8 out of 10 in terms of spice level. Palak panner was good, but the side of rice was undercooked. Breads were good. Overall this place was just ok. I won't be going back. read more

Excellent food and service. Can't wait to go back. Best part was the authentic Hyderabad dum biryani.

How far and for how long will you travel to savor an unforgettable meal? Do you promise not to grumble when there is excruciating and non-relenting traffic? For me, I would travel far and wide......and suck up the traffic. With this mantra, I recently was rewarded when I visited Abhiruchi Grill. The restaurant has a strong South Indian menu and serves halal meat. There are numerous vegetarian choices. From the outside, the restaurant is non-assuming. On entering, one finds well-appointed tables with tableware neatly in position. I was interested in the Kerala combination of appam (bowl shaped rice flour crepes that are crispy on the outside) and chicken curry. The appam was outstanding and made just before serving. The chicken curry took me to another level. While there are many South Indian types of chicken curry, this was Abhiruchi chicken curry. The chicken itself, was tender and had a freshness about it. The chicken pieces were married to and swimming in a thick, peppery gravy that had an intense flavor of South Indian spices. I enjoyed every drop of this silky chicken gravy with the appam. On the whole, it was a very tasty, different and satisfying experience. What about the service? They kept checking on me regularly and provided excellent service. I will be going back to taste more from their vast menu. read more

I am Thai and I love curry so much included Indian curry. Today trying this restaurant doesn't make me regret. Curry is the hit for both of them. I try Abhiruchi goat curry, (Small chunks of goat(with bone) slow cooked to tenderness in onion tomato masala gravy. ) its taste great and authentic indian curry. There is only the meat is too tough for me. Chicken Tikka Masala Roasted chunks of chicken cooked in a creamy, spiced tomato sauce. Is perfect!. Lassi is good too. Service is warm welcoming from the waiter. He is saying no you can not have spicy on my curry because it s already spicy. It s just nice of him to warn me but I said i am Thai and he has to bring me chili on side since it s zero spiciness level for me. Service is great in my opinion. read more

Food is very good, i have ordered chicken dumplings biryani paneer vijaywada biryani. Service is horrible. They are under staffed. Pickup experience is horrible. Pick up was horrible i have called for 2 paneer tikka but they wrote only one. Then not accepting mistake. Also while waiting they say you can sit on table but it will take 20 minutes then restaurant got busy so they kick me out and said that its not for waiting its for dine in, but at first they are the one who let me sit. Its just cause they want to give table to someone else. Food Services Ambience read more

We have been looking for a decent Indian restaurant on the Westside, finally visiting Abhiruchi based mostly on its favorable reviews. First impressions were good with an open, clean experience redolent of coriander, turmeric, and other spices. Seating was open; the clientele by all appearances seemed quite familiar with Indian cuisine, So far so good. the strong points were very good, including the curries, especially the lamb and chicken. Nan, plain and ghee, were at a high standard, freshly baked and soft. As a biryani fan, I ordered the shrimp biryani which unfortunately was a bit disappointing in that it lacked flavor and had fewer shrimp than I would like, In general, would request mild spice since the overall heat seems ratcheted up a few notches. Have been consistently disappointed b the lack of kulfi though other dessert standards (rice pudding, Gulab Jamun) were fine. Service is fast and efficient. The prices were fair. Ample parking in the back lot. A serious consideration for serious Indian food, especially if you have a hankering for curry. read more

Didn't know about it, love the fact that there are buffets still in the universe... Food is tad spicy for me, but most people would love it just the way it is. My husband does. Great options. read more

I got delivery from here and I ordered a chicken dish and man, they give you a lot of chicken! :) It was like equivalent to a whole chicken it seems. I also tried their daal. If I was eating indoors, I would def try their buffet sometimes. I heard the butter chicken here is amazing, but I haven't tried it. The chicken dish I got was either chicken tikka or chicken tikka masala, can't recall. Would def order from here again to try more dishes. My go to Indian places are Samosa House East (and West) and sometimes India Sweet & Spices. read more

Abiruchi never dissapoints. The service is fantastic because they are always alert and caring towards the customers. It is not my first time visiting the place, I've visited multiple times and every time, the environment gives me a sense of calmness. Lets talk about the food here, first of all, the best goat dum biryani in town. They serve it only on Fridays and the weekends. For appetizer, I always go for chicken majestic, because of its savory flavour and the tender chicken, cooked very well in red onion paste. For curry, I like to get Chicken Kurma because its aromatic scent mixed with special Indian Spices, and of course the tenderness and juiciness of the chicken. Definitely gonna keep coming back in the future. read more
