We were greeted immediately upon arrival and seated quickly.The service was prompt and friendly. The food, as always, was delicious, and served in appropriate dishes, bowls, etc. Addi's Darbar is well located for us with ample parking. The restaurant is small, but laid out so we didn't feel cramped. It was quite busy as it was Valentine's Day. read more

This place is perhaps one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, period. The perfect balance of price versus value the staff are extremely professional and friendly. It has a perfect balance of great ambience versus availability. I come here whenever new friends visit town, when i have an anniversary, or just casual Friday trying to better my day. The owner always takes time to say hi to all the customers - best vibe ever. Here are some interesting highlights: the food selection is unbeatable. From all kinds of special protein to veggies delights: three kinds of chicken bbq, tandoori mahi mahi, and all kinds of different biryani flavors. The protein always hits home with strong burst of flavor and is piping hot in the best way possible. After coming here for about a year, I continue to discover new items. Chicken pakoras, (Indian fried chicken strips) peas pulao (pea veggie rice), carrot cake made of only carrots, just to name a few. Highly highly recommend to everyone looking for a good restaurants in general. read more

I'd left the area decades ago and missed out on experiencing Sitar By The Sea. The same chef can now be found at Addi's Darbar Indian Cuisine. The tastes, textures, and presentation exceeded ALL of the better Indian restaurants we frequented in Silicon Valley (where there's no lack of Indian restaurants to say the least). There is also a vast selection of vegetarian and vegan dished -- not just a token selection. We were very pleased to see many dishes beyond the many with which we were already familiar. We look forward to returning very soon to explore the full menu! read more

I cannot stress enough how delicious this was--and how hard it is to find hearty lentil dishes with portions this good. Staff + owner were incredibly nice and the restaurant seemed inviting & cozy. I ordered to go, but I will definitely dine out next time. read more

I ordered chicken tikka masala and veggie curry take out earlier tonight. Walked into a very classy and busy restaurant. Every table was full and everyone looked satisfied with their meals. Our food was excellent and flavorful. We are glad we ordered rice as our curries did not come with it. Portions were large and we had leftovers. Highly recommend this spot for Indian food if you like curry. Looks like a nice spot for a date as well. read more

Ingredients are fresh and dishes are solid, but rice and naan cost extra. Plates run $20-30, a little on the pricier side. Ambiance works well for a social night -- tables are nicely spaced. Easy parking in the lot. Diverse crowd. read more

Bhimu is awesome, highly recommend this place! Such great service! The food was aka so amazing!

Yummmm... pricey but large portions and great quality! Best Indian food especially the chicken tika masala and their naan.

This has become our go-to Indian food spot! Both take out and dine-in here is consistently so great. Their lamb biryani is absolutely amazing and so tender- I highly recommend trying it! We also love the butter chicken and chicken tikka masala. read more

We did not receive a menu item a few nights ago and upon my return tonight to ask for it, the owner/manager and his staff provided it plus an order of garlic nan as well as somosas and he spent time chatting. Great effort and appreciation of the customer. read more

We love this place! Walk in and are greeted with a smile. The food is delicious and authentic tasting - I particularly like the garlic naan and the saag paneer. The mango lussi this time tasted a bit off but everything else is amazing! read more

So my friend has been raving about this place and we finally got to go. Well, I believe I'm spoiled after eating some upscale Indian in Manhattan with considerably higher prices. Service was good; rice complimentary which is nice these days. Portions generous i.e. I will have some leftovers to nibble on for lunch. But the Saag Paneer was a bit bland; maybe I should have requested spicer. The Chicken Vinadloo did not have enough kick to it either but was tender. The Garlic Naan was disappointing as it seemed more like pita. Come with moderate expectations and you'll be fine. Free parking available. read more

The food was really good and flavorful. I would definitely recommend the mango lassi, it's so good especially with the lamb vindaloo. The service was great too as the waitress would always check on us. The ambiance is good as well though I'd say the lighting was quite dim. read more

Best Indian food I've had in the South Bay. Authentic, and great every time. The chicken tikka is to die for.

Visited last night, for a take-out. I remember going to Addi's when they were in the current Ragin' Cajun location some years ago. The atmosphere there was amazing, including a live sitar player. Years later, I frequented this newer location and always rated it as excellent. Having sadly not visited recently, I went by again for a take-out. It remains way up there, with the welcoming of me as a customer, the simple but warm offer of water while I waited for my order to come out. I was even given regular updates on my order, and when it might be brought out. But it's the food that stood out when I got home. So very, very tasty. Actually big portions, including a free and extra rice package, all absolutely wonderful. I should have asked for more spice, but that's my fault....next time for sure. Lamb Tikka Masala Chicken Korma (a mild dish by design) Onion Bhajis Pillau Rice Plain Paratha I recommend every dishesl I took home, as there were none I could faulter. My yearning for some good Indian cuisine paid off. read more

I've been in Redondo for 10 years. Super excited I found this Indian restaurant. Probably the most flavorful chicken Tikka masala and definitely the largest portions. Highly recommend read more

My wife and I absolutely love this place - best Indian food in the south bay IMO! We usually get three entrees, and this provides plenty of leftovers to enjoy over the next few days. Lamb Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry are my faves! read more

This is hands-down the best Indian food in Redondo Beach! My family and I are big fans of Indian cuisine and have tried several spots in the area, but we recently revisited Addi's after some time away (mainly because it's a bit farther from home). Now, it's officially our top choice, regardless of the extra drive. The food was absolutely amazing--my son practically licked his plate clean! We were even tempted to order an extra chicken tikka masala to take home. Thank you for creating such flavorful dishes and for sending us home happy, full, and already planning our next visit. read more

A friend highly recommended this place and I've been wanting to try it out and finally got an opportunity to do so. There's ample amount of parking all around (street and lot). The restaurant itself is quit fancy looking. It's def a place you can invite guest/family to. The service is incredibly welcoming and the owner himself greets you and serves you. It's def very personal and if that's your thing this is def the place for you 5 stars + Now to the food. We ordered the fish masala medium spice and lamb tikka masala spicy. The fish of the day is sea bass and it was very fresh and soft but it really lacked flavor and medium spice taste mild. Let's just say I ended up just drinking the curry without rice. The lamb was similar, lacked flavor but meat was fresh and soft. Spicy was mild as well but the owner offered to take it back and then it was pretty spicy. The garlic naan was good. Also order the mango lassi, it was pretty good but because of the price point, I had higher expectations. We really really enjoyed the service. read more

My favorite Indian restaurant, i came for both of my birthdays. The portions are big, if you're coming with someone i recommend getting different ones and share.

We dined at Addi's for the first time, when visiting friends who live in the neighborhood. Our friends, who go there often, managed the ordering, including getting the Lamb Royale. The place is a very nice, clean establishment that has a cool, Indian (or Middle Eastern) atmosphere. Our waiter and staff were very attentive throughout our dinner. The food was absolutely delicious! Tasty with fantastic, unique seasonings, flavor. read more

The food was ready right on time for pick up. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

It's been a few years since I've reviewed but nothing has changed. Absolutely phenomenal food and amazing staff who are so helpful! We have been ordering takeout for the past few years and the food has absolutely not changed. Still full of flavor and high quality. We order chicken katakat, lamb vindaloo, bomboy aloo pakoras, pappadum, vegetable samosas and naan. Occasionally we order the Chana masala and chicken biryani. Also delicious. This is a must stop for excellence service and incredible food! read more

Delighted to be back here. The food and service are both excellent. Beautifully spiced. The baigan bharta (eggplant) was magnificent, and I couldn't stop eating the saag lamb. The range of spices was wonderful, from very mild (for the kids), to a bit burning, but delicious. It was a birthday celebration, and the highlight was when two children from a neighboring table asked if they could sing "happy birthday " with us. Just delightful! read more

Holy crud this place is WONDERFUL!! DO NOT EAT THE SAG PANEER BECAUSE I WANT IT ALL TO MYSELF. Kidding! Seriously, it was THE BEST I've ever had, and I LOVE sag paneer (spinach with cheese cubes). OMG. We have also had the lamb chops, which were very meaty. The CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA was Amazing. All these orders were really enough for 4. We also had the garlic nan which was really tasty. We tried this lovely dessert which was like a slightly grainy orange sherbet, made in house. Refreshing, but not quite my thing, but everyone else enjoyed. Our server, Bemu, was very nice and Patient! Can't wait to go back, with friends! read more

Excellent food. Very fresh and tasty. Well prepared. The service is the best. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. Addi is a great host and makes you feel very welcome. Easily the best Indian food in Southern California. My wife and I love going there. I recommend you do as well. Randy read more

Food is so delicious. The service is good. A wonderful place to go and relax snd eat the best food !

Food quality was ok. Their Biryani tasted like Jambalaya, not authentic at all! Paneer Makhni was sweet and tasted like it had ketchup added to the sauce. Butter Chicken was good, could use slight more spice. Methi Malai Chicken was ok, too thick of a gravy (too much cream) and was lacking flavors. The highlight was their garlic naan, kulfi's and pakoras. Service was good, our server was very friendly and accommodating. Ambiance is good, you can tell they wanted you to eat and leave, so they can turn table's quickly. For the price and quality of food, I will not be returning. There are many great options out there, like Cardamom Indian restaurant etc. read more

This is our go-to spot for North Indian food to go in south bay. We usually get Malai Kofta and it is really tasty. They also have some unique dishes like Baingan paneer, which we thought was interesting. We have never dined in at Addi's so can't say much about their service. Overall, its a great place for Indian food in Redondo Beach. read more

So good! Excellent service. The owner is great and always so kind. Even my kids love it. Definitely a treat when I want authentic cuisine

Always such a treat when we come here for dinner. Tonight we brought our 8 month old and the staff was so welcoming. They were very kind and played with our son which made our night. The food was phenomenal as always, such big portions with plenty of flavor. Thank you for making it such a great experience like always read more

Addi's was packed when we arrived on a nondescript Tuesday night, snagging the last table...fortunately there were only 2 of us, as it was quite a wait for the next table to open. Consider making a reservation! Service was pretty good considering the crowd. Water was quickly provided and my beer arrived with the Vegetable Pakora appetizer. Served with 2 dips it was something of a disappointment, most of the Pakoras were mostly batter with almost no filling. The Pakoras that actually included vegetable stuffing were ok. For dinner we had high expectations for the Navratan Korma and Ghobie Artichoke mains, with Onion Kulcha for the bread. The Onion Kulcha was the high point of the meal, very tasty. A minor nit, I would have preferred the onion cooked to the point where it was not crunchy, but it was good as delivered. We were both disappointed with the 2 mains. The Navratan was clearly the preferred option but it just seemed to be missing something that would put it over the top. I'd almost want to return to see if we could figure out what that something is! The Ghobie Artichoke, ordered medium spicy, was again just OK. I'd actually really like to return, it just seems like we both should have enjoyed these dishes more than we did. read more

We always have a pleasant experience here, both dining in and taking out. The staff couldn't be nicer. There's lots to choose from on the menu- we usually get plain & garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and sometimes another rice dish. The portions are generous so we get a few meals out of the leftovers. It's a small place and every time we're here all the tables are full, so make a reservation. read more

Addi's is our new favorite Indian restaurant. Amazingly delicious. We had the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, nan, rice. The samosas and pakoras were crisp without being oily. Will go back soon to try other dishes. read more

Every dish is amazing... butter chicken is decadent and their vegan cashew nut cream with veggies is dreamy...with mint spice chutney-- great! read more

I went to Addi's with some friends recently and we all agreed that their food is very poor. I'm not too sure why but it's just rank bad. It's hard to fathom when this restaurant has great staff who are all knowledgeable about Indian cuisine that it should come out tasting and looking so average. For instance the biryanis rice was stuck together when it arrived, it was so off putting that I was ready to complain. However, when you're with friends then you feel reluctant to make a scene. The tandoori chicken also lacked flavor and maybe freshness. We had some other dishes as well as the obligatory Naan, but overall it was poor. I even thought the Naan was of the frozen type. Service was ok but when the food arrives looking and tasting so bad then everything else is irrelevant! read more

Absolutely phenomenal food and service! I will absolutely be back you can not go wrong here.

My first visit to Addi's in Redondo Beach was for dinner last week. If you are not sure you like Indian food and/or you're a vegetarian and don't think there would be much for you ... think again! Addi's atmosphere is family-like, welcoming and comfortable. It's a place for both a casual meet-up with friends or a nice dinner date. The service was perfect. The staff was very attentive. The food was amazing. Vegetable Samosas were perfect starters. Full of taste and not greasy. My main course was Baigan Bharta (charbroiled eggplant) and the texture of the dish was perfect. The portions were very big and we took the leftovers home. My friends ordered the Lamb royal and they couldn't say enough about how delicious it was. For drinks we ordered the Taj beer and a bottle of wine from the large selection. Thank you to Addi, we had a fabulous evening! I will be visiting again and I highly recommend this hidden gem. read more
