Ordered to go, really good, never disappoints . Must try butter chicken and daal yum!

Tandoori chicken wings with cilantro whip
Janette H.

Another fantastic meal at badamaash in Hollywood. Our server remembered us which was astonishing! Our order came out surprisingly quickly, but since we came in between the lunch and dinner hour , maybe not so much. The fries are hands down the best fries I have ever tasted, EVER! The chicken wings are typical of tandoori chicken, but with that unique cilantro whipped cream to dip them in, my god, makes it a dish that you crave!! Again with the seek kabobs, made with lamb so tender, come with a turmeric sauce that is soooo good. We started with the yogurt puffs that are a fun spicy, creamy, crunchy bite that really is the definition of appetizer. We were so full by the end of the meal but decided to look at the dessert menu anyway. We saw this inexpensive, tasty and not too filling option, a nice hot shot of chai! Perfect ending to a great meal! There's lots of seating in a small dining space, but somehow you don't feel crowded. All in all a stimulating experience!

Venice is open but couldn't get in as its super busy and we don't want dinner at 5pm. Right back to Fairfax this time and it's still super great. Love to have consistency when we go back to places we love and all the food was fresh and just as tasty as the last time. Mixed it up this time and tried the "Fish "Moilee" which was crispy and not oily with a delicious curry that was perfectly spiced. Service is always top notch and helpful! Have two small complaints - each time we visit, they never have Indian beer? Rice portion is tiny and it's just rice.... Will keep coming back and ready to hit Venice soon!

Quesadilla
Martin T.

Awesome spot, great staff, and delicious Indian food. Would get a thousand times again: quesadilla, butter chicken, naan, and dessert ice cream and cookies. I'd skip: the fries. They were good but I've had better at other Indian spots.

Indian pickles

I am a foodie and I enjoy all types of food. I was very impressed with the presentation, the food quality and the seasoning that each dish had to offer! The combination of herbs and spices used, elevated the flavor. My favorite was the spiced lamb burger, followed by the chicken tikka poutine. I highly recommend this cool place to EVERYONE who is in the area or other foodies like me! Alex was our waiter. He is very courteous, always attentive to what we needed and kept checking in, refilling up our drinks and removing dishes after finishing.

BUTTER CHICKEN, ROSEMARY NAAN, BASMATI RICE, and CHICKEN TIKKA POUTINE
Ashley M.

Yelpers, please bear with me. This was my first time trying Indian cuisine. Let's first talk about highlights: the restaurant seated our party of two promptly without a reservation, and the service was both quick and attentive throughout the meal. We ordered the poutine, and the fries were a highlight. They were crisp and well-seasoned. The chicken in our dishes were also prepared well, with juicy, clean cuts. Shortcomings: I would say the rosemary naan was rather bland. The thinner grains of the basmati rice gave it a somewhat glossy/plasticky texture and did not tie well into eating it with the butter chicken. The butter chicken was not something I personally enjoyed. Although it was buttery and creamy tomato puree, it lacked a depth of flavors from aromatic spices and onion that I expected. Overall, I would MAYBE give Badmaash a second chance but a solid 2.5/5 for now.

Absolutely phenomenal! This is hands-down one of the best Indian restaurants I've ever been to. My boyfriend found this place years ago and we come back every single time we come to LA. Every dish bursts with flavor, perfectly spiced, and cooked to perfection. From the buttery, melt-in-your-mouth naan to the rich and creamy butter chicken, everything tasted authentic and fresh. The service was warm and attentive, and the ambiance made it feel both cozy and vibrant. It's like family here and we're here for it! Highly recommend this spot to anyone craving real, delicious Indian food. Can't wait to come back!

Came here with some friends who don't have the most experience with Indian food. The area used to be so fun, it's a big dirty around there and there isn't valet parking. We got lucky with street parking but make sure you leave enough time to find a spot...and maybe don't leave anything valuable in your car. It's a spacious dining room and it wasn't too busy. We ordered samosas immediately - original & butter chicken. Butter chicken was sooo good - sadly the original one we could have done without. For mains, we ate family style and split: Chicken Tikka Masala, Masala Fries, Sag Paneer, Butter Chicken, Rice, and Rosemary Naan. The butter chicken and the masala fries were the standouts to us. One rice is good for 2 people to share. Overall it was great portions, quick service, and tasty food. We didn't have enough room for dessert but it is cute they give Double Bubble bubble gum with the check!

First time trying Badmaash on Fairfax! I've been to the downtown location several times and it has always been good. the other day we were driving down Fairfax and actually saw a parking meter available in front of the restaurant so we thought this was our lucky day! We decided to get some poutine fries! Looking at the menu, the spicy sausage also looked good. So we ordered that and it turns out that it is indeed the bomb!! Everyone working here is cool and the place is nice and cozy and cute. If it was a bit cheaper, I'd probably eat here more often, but on the special occasions that I do make it, it's always delightful!

Butter chicken samosa
Maansi S.

4.5 I've been meaning to go here for a while! The butter chicken samosa was really good and VERY filling! The fries were SO GOOD too! They were crispy and spiced so well. My friend and I devoured our food :P I'll definitely go back to try their tandoori wings and maybe even the Parle G dessert.

Menu

I had wanted to try Badmaash for a while, and ended up coming here for a dinner with strangers event. I love trying new flavors/combos, so contemporary Indian fusion sounded great to me! I usually like to order for the table and share everything family style, but we stuck to ordering our own dishes since we weren't sure about everyone's palettes. However, we did start with a bottle of orange wine for the table. Super refreshing. It was one that our server recommended so I don't quite remember what it was, but 8/10. For food, I ordered the Chicken Tikka Poutine (masala fries topped with cheesecurds, with beef gravy, topped with tandoori chicken tikka and cilantro). According to Yelp, this dish is super popular, so I thought I'd give it a try. I love fries/poutine, and chicken tikka so it felt like a good move. The overall flavors worked, but the chicken was overcooked and dry, the gravy was rather bland, and the cheesecurds were sparse and didn't melt because the dish was room temperature when I got it. 5/10. For me, the concept was definitely better than the execution, though I would order it again just to see if I just happened to get a sub par version of this popular dish. I'd also like to come back to try the other items, since I wasn't able to really get a taste of the full menu this time. Service was good and the restaurant itself is pretty good for groups. A comfortable lunch or dinner spot.

PARLE-G ICE CREAM SAMMICHES, COCONUT RICE PUDDING and Oat Milk Chai

Food bomb. Service great. Wine fresh. Stomach sooo full. Love you - call you in 5 minutes!

Chicken Tikka Poutine
Matthew K.

Summary: It's very alright, for people trying indian cuisine, it isn't bad. The service is amazing and the store is nice, personally for me the tables are set too close together. It's a good place to try if you want to try, but it lacks authenticity and execution for fusion food. Butter Chicken: 4.75/10 Personally for me the butter chicken wasn't terrible, it was very average for me. The chicken itself was a bit dry and the sauce felt a little watered down instead of having its normal thick consistency. Overall, very average, for the price, kind of lack luster, I would try butter chicken somewhere else. (5/10 is very average for me, its under due to the dryness of the chicken.) Chicken Poutine: 5.25 I enjoyed the poutine significantly more than the butter chicken. The chicken was cooked and seasoned well, it wasn't drenched in gravy and had a good amount of cheese curds. The fries were very nice, crispy and seasoned, exactly what you want with fries. Sadly, I feel like the attempt to add indian fusion wasn't the best. Seperate, the chicken had pretty strong seasoning, but all together just tastes like normal poutine, the gravy and cheese curds kind of overpowered it for me. Honestly the chicken from here mixed with the butter chicken was really good. Decent poutine, not really good fusion food tbh. Crispy Yogurt Puffs: 5.75/10 This was very interesting, definitely something to try, but personally I wouldn't try again. The tamarind was very overpowering and leaves a super sour taste. The texture and consistency is pretty good, but I personally wouldn't order again. If your pallet leans more sour I would suggest trying but personally not for me.

Still doing lunch specials?what time

Is there a kids menu?

Definitely not that I saw at dinner. It was upscale Indian with many wine options, music, not a kid type spot. Been there 3 times for dinner and zero kids in sight. Maybe lunch is different but I did not get a kid vibe for this spot.

Tandoori platter was excellent with really tender chicken and lamb kebabs. The avocado bhel was good to start with. The chicken tikka masala was very flavorful. The lamb vindaloo was also nice and spicy just like we ordered. It was bursting with flavors and the ajwain paratha and onion chilli kulcha were the perfect accompaniments. We thoroughly enjoyed the great dining experience.

The food is really good but it is a bit pricey (likely due to the location). Butter chicken - We ordered it mild and there was no spice, which was great for me because I am very spice intolerant. This was my favorite dish of the night; it had a lot of flavor and the chicken was cooked well. 5/5 Whole wheat roti with butter - This was a bit harder than I expected, maybe because it's whole wheat? I'd skip this and order the naan instead. 3/5 Chicken tikki masala with dark meat - This dish was also very tasty and had a bit of a kick, but a doable level of spice. 4/5 Garlic naan - Really tasty and the perfect pair for the curry dishes we ordered. 4/5 Gulab jamun - When we ordered this dessert, we were told it comes with two balls. But when it arrived at our table, there were three (there were three of us eating together and we had planned to just split the two). This is my favorite Indian dessert, so I really appreciated that the kitchen added an extra one for us! I've had sweeter versions of this in the past, but it was still sweet and was the perfect way to end the night. 5/5

We ordered take-out through Doordash. On both occasions the delivery came sooner than expected…read more(always a plus), we got everything we ordered, and everything was packed really well. We loved that there were plenty of vegetarian options to choose from. You get to choose your level of spiciness and I felt they got our preference just right both times! Everything I have tried here has been wonderful. The vegetable samosas are a must for an appetizer. They have the best crunch without being too hard and the inside filling is so tasty. It comes with a wonderful brown sauce too. We ate family style and shared our dishes. The entrees do not come with rice so we ordered one basmati rice per person which was the perfect amount. For our main dish, our favorite is the vegetable korma which has mixed vegetables in a ginger and garlic cashew nut cream sauce. We also enjoyed the vegetable coconut curry which had vegetables in a coconut curry sauce and the vegetable curry which were both good and similar but we decided we like the coconut version the best. The vegetable masala which are vegetables cooked in a tomato sauce was delicious as well. We also had the saag paneer which is spinach and cheese cooked in a creamy curry sauce. Everything was excellent. I dined at this restaurant many years ago and we had an excellent time but I can't remember what we ordered back then. I can tell you that the restaurant is a big space with booths and a very classy atmosphere. We went early on a weeknight for date night. Service was attentive and the food was good. Parking was easy on the street. Highly suggest Anarbagh for consistently good Indian food!

I did my best to avoid door-dash etc by ordering on their website. I walked in the pick up my order and it was as if I was invisible! The guy saw me through the open curtains but just ignored me. Horrible. I waited to make sure that it was my order on the desk, I saw the label so I knew that it was but still felt that I should wait for some acknowledgment at least but he clearly did not care. Did I get a greeting? No. When I could attract his attention I said is this mine and indicated just take it. Pathetic. I had already paid 10% tip and wished I could get that back. Then I get home and find that instead of the two orders of rice pudding (ticked off on the receipt) we only had one. I called him up and he said they only had one and so could only give me one. They still charged for two. Why not tell me?! I demanded a refund he refused and said that I would have contacted DoorDash Beyond pathetic!! I will NEVER order to go from them ever again!! So why 3 points and not one? Because the food is tasty so PERHAPS we will try eating in one night. But if the service is from the same guy that will be the last time ever. Basically I am writing this to inform the manager/owner. I have a personal friend who has a great restaurant but is losing money daily in these inflationary times. I can see the same happening to this restaurant and so sir or madam please read this, talk to your staff, train them or fire them before they wreck your business.. your choice.
