Food Tikki chaat - Flavorful and good portion for $9. A decent kick. 4.7/5 Samosa - Another flavor bomb full of a potato pea blend. The mint chutney banged and the tamarind chutney was solid. 4.8/5 Garlic naan - This is the best garlic naan I've ever had. Garlickly and delicious. Perfection. 5/5 Mango lassi - Balanced and delicious. Elegant. 4.8/5 Service 4.5/5 Ambiance 4.5/5 Overall, this is near perfect Indian food full of flavor. I can see why it's on the Top 100 LA list. Some of the best Indian food I've had. Not too pricey either. read more

SERVICE - located in little India on pioneer blvd - parking available on street or in one of the nearby lots - ambiance good for a casual, family friendly meal - service was okay but slow and some dishes took very long to be served MENU - rajasthani selection of entrees and thalis - all vegetarian with vegan options available - average price FOOD - baingan ka bharta (7/10): roasted eggplant mashed in a tomato sauce. This was one of the few dishes that did not contain dairy. Relative to the roti it was served with, the portion could have been bigger by filling the bowl more. The flavors were good with the smokiness of the eggplant and the warmth of the spices. - bajra roti (2/10): this was not very pleasant to eat. It was much thicker than i was expecting which made it hard to tear into small pieces and chew. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe, though there are other nearby places that I have enjoyed more. read more

Bhookhe - Baingan ka bharta and bajra roti - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Artesia, California

We came to Bhookhe on a Friday evening and street parking was difficult to find. The restaurant itself was about half empty and seating was prompt. Service was friendly. Ambiance was basic. We opted for the Bhookhe special curry (fox nut), the Sartaj (thali), gatte curry (gram flour), and falouda kulfi. Flavors of the dishes were nice, however the fox nut curry was overly sweet and the various thali dishes were a bit bland. Our favorite was the gatte curry and their naan. Dessert was solid. read more

This is some of the best north Indian vegetarian food you'll find in Los Angeles Angeles. Shahi paneer and aloo tiki chaat are my favorites. Friendly fast service. read more

The foods great and the portions are enormous The maharaja thali is enough for 3-4 people. Especially if you order other things. The bati and dal were really good. It comes with three types of bread too. All tasted really good and authentic. I thought the dal was good too. The thali comes with a bunch of chutneys and even green pepper pickle which was delicious The pani puri is really good - the chutney and water are really flavorful I liked the dabeli too. The potato filling was really heavily spiced but it was pleasant The servers were really kind and the food came out pretty quickly read more

Delicious food! We got a platter to share with 3 people and the garlic naan & Baigan Bharta eggplant curry. Favorites were definitely the Baigan Bharta and garlic naan. They were so flavorful. The platter had 3 different curries, several breads and sauces to dip them in. I loved how they all had distinct flavors. Definitely had lots of leftovers afterwards that we packed to go! Service was quick, and we were able to get seated quickly. We parked on the street in front (parking free on Sundays woo). read more

This was my first time going down to Bhooke but it will definitely not be my last. It is located next-door to a restaurant I visit very often (Udupi Palace) for South Indian food. Bhooke is Rajasthani based north Indian food but also has a selection of fusion Indian Chinese dishes. I didn't get to try those this time I will next time because I will be definitely eat here again. You could tell the ingredients were high-quality and that everything was freshly made. Everything was very flavorful without being oily or heavy. For example one of the dishes we got was Shahi paneer which can be very very rich but this had all of the flavor but the sauce had a lighter almost mousse-like texture...it was really delicious. There was a group of five of us for lunch, we got four appetizers, three main dishes, rice and bread. And split between the five of us came to $19.30 a person . The gentleman who served us was very nice and attentive but also very calm we never felt rushed and in fact we had to ask for the check they weren't trying to get us out of there to get the table. And they had a nice circulation of people coming in without it being overbearing. I didn't even realize they had Bollywood on the television in the background because there was no blaring music while we were there it was either very low or muted. It was just a delightful lunch and I look forward to returning. read more

Terrible service! Grumpy waiter took our order after a long wait. We asked for dessert that didn't have nuts as that's what he came for and he said everything had nuts - what a restaurant in California that doesn't offer nut free options?! We got an unsympathetic "sorry" but on further inspection of the menu there were ice creams that were but free that could've been suggested. We ordered chaat. Sev puri and pani puri were too similar. Sev puri was not on flattened puris. Kulfi faluda was not in a glass as expected but served as ice cream. Not greeted when we walked in or left! Walls are decorated nicely. Honestly the awful service is off-putting. Makes me wonder about the high rating on Yelp. read more

My first trip to Little India, to try one of LA's 101 Best. My first Rajasthani restaurant, and wow, what a treat! The Maharaja Thali seems like the best way to try the most food. You get rice but also lots of fried things, like bati balls and makka and bajri roti which are rare finds. The chutneys are amazing, and I would just eat them as dips, but they do also pep up the dal. Three deep bowls of dal include gatte ki sabji, kadhi pakoda, and dry sabji. I don't know which is which, but one is smooth, one is smoky, and all are good bowls of comfort. There are also a few little sweets too, little balls and squares with a silky texture that taste like they were rolled in condensed milk. Lots of apps for trying, be sure to share so you can order more. Pyaz Kachori is new to me, and I love the flavorful filling. BEST Samosas I've ever had, highly recommend! Pani Puri take a little work, but I always order them when I care because they're fun. They cover every flavor and every texture with soft potato, sharp onion, sweet tomato, crunchy bits, and fragrant leaves of cilantro. Dunk and fill with cold mint water and eat immediately. This is a lot of food for two people but we didn't waste a single drop. Some dal made it home with us but otherwise we practically licked all the plates. I can't comment on authenticity (because I just don't know), and I have no way to compare, but I'm pretty sure Bhookhe is awesome and would be hard to beat. read more

Friends recommendation on trying one of top 101 LA restaurants of 2023. The area is house of other Indian/vegetarian restaurants. Parking is free exactly in front but just for the first hour. Inside is inviting and the decor is Indian. Did I forgot to mention this restaurant is Indian/vegetarian? Mainly because most of the dishes are vegetarian. Spices are mild but can be spicy upon special request. There's several options of curry but all does not come with rice. Each customer is given a small bottle of water Order Maharja platter (most popular item), kadahi paneer (one of most popular curries) but request to be super spicy, garlic naan, pyaz kachori appetizer. The platter is huge for one person because it comes with three different curries and various of dishes while one plate has a dessert (according to the server). The kadahi pannier has onions, peppers and tofu and looks spicy when request to be super spicy. It's spicy enough to tickle your throat but not enough to burn you if you love spicy food. The kachori appetizer is fried, comes with two different sauces and has savory flavor. Overall, if you like Indian and vegetarian, recommend on trying this out read more

It's clean their kitchen is small and weekends get super busy . Love the fact they are using recycled paper trays. read more

I came here today to try a quick snack bite. I ordered a dhai puri and was told to wait about 10 min. I really got to look at the menu and overall feel of the restaurant. It is very nice and bright. I told my husband we have to come back and try theor food. Dhai puri were about 7 or 8. Sorry I don't have a picture but they were delicious. Looking forward to try their thali and other main foods next time. read more

I don't know how this place made it to the LATimes best list. I can name dozens of vegetarian restaurants that are much better and within walking distance of this one.

My second time here and opted not to do the LAT review items. I am not a Kachori Chat person so will just say not my thing. I ordered the Palak Paneer and it was very good. The 'cheese' cubes were large and the spinach curry flavorful and creamy. My friend's Baigan Bharta was smoky as advertised and not my thing however the spice kick was great. My garlic naan was awful. It seemed like it had been warmed up. Reheated with a fresh coating of garlic oil. Blah. I suggest that management develop a new method of providing water to folks. The little tiny bottles are not large enough and environmentally a negative. They can get delivery in big bottles and serve water out of pitchers like other places. The small bottles do not encourage me to order traditional Indian drinks as they are just too caloric for me and then I would order less food. read more

Bhookhe - Bailable Bharta - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Artesia, California

My husband and I came to Bhookhe on a Sunday night in late October. I'd found Bhookhe while browsing Yelp and thought it looked great, and our experience here matched my expectations. Bhookhe is located on a Main Street in Artesia and there is ample street parking in nearby residential areas. We didn't have a reservation when we came in around 6 pm, but were seated immediately as the restaurant was only about half full. Ambiance here is simple and casual. A waiter brought over menus immediately. One unusual thing I observed was that they served us small bottles of water rather than tap water in cups. My husband was starving and wanted to order a lot of food, but the waiter counseled us against the amount we were about to order (a first) and told us to order less. We got four dishes, which still ended up being a lot of food. We shared the aloo tikki chaat, and the aloo puri as appetizers. For mains, my husband had the garlic naan and malai kofta and I had the maharani thali. I can say without a doubt this is the best Indian food I've ever had in the US. The food was bursting with flavor and super filling. Prices were also quite modest. After I ate here, I was already planning my next visit and telling my friends about it. Looking forward to coming back. read more

I went all the way to Artesia to try this restaurant which bring authentic Indian Rajasthani food culture to here. In fact the decoration brings the vibe and even plates is traditional style made out of leave. They have a lot of options on the menu, plus they have Thalis which is good so you get chance to try a lot of items. I tried maharaja thali and Sartaj thali. I just blown away from the flavors it brings in mouth. If you want to really try rajasthani food, this is the place. My favorites is dal bati, pyaaj kachori and their kadhi. This place is busy on the weekend, but their service is faster though. read more

Actually ate next food, but we decided to pop in and try something her; omg so spicy. I don't even know what we ordered as the rest of my party picked everything, no hints that this was gonna be spicy, but when it arrived the owner stopped by to warn us. He was not wrong. This tamale like fish started off mildly spicy and then got worse. But, the food was good! read more

"It's Thali, can't wait to eat, Thali Maharaja. Spice I expect, oy, genuflect, a lot of food for me. Now, try your best to stay calm. Too much food, ring the alarm. Then, finish with the sweets to leave happy." - parody of "Prince Ali", Aladdin Bhookhe is a recently opened Rajasthani restaurant in Little India. Seeing new places nearby open give the impetus to try them out and show support. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=ogjXvH1nVcq0yfVyZrMhxQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Maharaja thali- https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=Q2VCD314R_4542Tn9KiTtQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA A sumptuous amount of vegetarian food, Bhookhe's Maharaja thali provided an ample amount of food. The bati was rather dry for my preference, but everything else, especially the bowls of curry, were satisfying. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=h-B01dprpYZ9TbWlSaqpEQ&userid=xsT4KZTu_KnOVavtuXn4RA Service was good. The wait was minimal for the food. Ample amount of seating inside. Another party had a bratty toddler who wasn't into Indian food, so it made for a not so pleasant dining experience. Parking is metered street parking & nearby parking structures. Bhookhe is open on Mondays, which most of other businesses located in Little India are not. I had a fine Rajasthani meal at Bhookhe. The portions were good, and the Maharaja thali offered several food items in a complete package. I hope to return soon and try the rest of what Bhookhe has to offer. Highly recommend read more

We came to Artesia to get our dessert fix from Surti and discovered this place accidentally since we didn't have breakfast we had brunch ..we ordered their maharani thali, Sartaj thali .. chole butture.. I asked if the thali was limited or unlimited.. our server informed it's unlimited if it's for a single person but when we asked for a refill he said we'll be charged which was quite rude and unfair since we ordered individual item for 3 of us.. overall the food was good and the ambience was nice too but their service was really bad.. I would give it a second chance since we regularly come to Artesia 3.5/5 read more

Every dish was flavorful and substantial. The freshly grilled kabobs were juicy as well.

Very good Rajasthani food. We literally ordered too much in between 4 people. Service was fast. The thali was expensive with unnecessary items, such as 3 different rotis with 2 big batis in my opinion. Ambience was good and so as the staff. I would say a must try, I will definitely going back again specially to eat there. read more

Bhookhe - Maharaja Thali - Food Delivery Services Near Me - Artesia, California

There was a short wait when we arrived, but the hosts let us know when our table would be ready. They kept coming to give us updates while we were waiting which was sweet. We ended up with the thali, mutter methi malai curry and the achari paneer. The paneer was soooooo good! Tangy and spicy and the paneer just melted in your mouth. The thali here really tastes homemade! I also love that there's so many different types of grain, like the paratha is made from wheat flour instead of all purpose. And it feels a lot healthier since there's nothing with cream in the thali. Also while it's not mentioned on the menu, it also comes with chas (buttermilk). Lastly, the mutter methi malai, was slightly sweet, creamy and savory. The portions here are large so great for sharing! My mom ended up loving the dessert (bajri ka choorma) that she asked if they sold it by the pound. Which they do! But since they didn't have enough that day, the owner actually just gave a little extra in the house. So sweet! read more

Food was good rajasthani style. Service was great. Generous amount of food they gave us. Restaurant was clean

Had dinner here today and was very disappointed. The samosas smelled spoiled, the food was bland, and I ended up with an upset stomach after eating. To make matters worse, the table next to us found a hair in their food and complained as well. Poor quality and hygiene -- I won't be returning, and I do not recommend this place to anyone. read more

Bhooke is bringing it with its northern Rajasthani cuisine. They are experts at balancing spices, flavors, and textures. Their dishes stand out due to the amazing flavors that are both bold and nuanced. Bhooke Special Curry: The curry is served in a snazzy silver dish. The curry is a beige-colored blend of milk, cream, garlic, and onions. It has a pleasing sweet and creamy taste with spices that play harmoniously together. Fox nuts (makhana) are the seeds from water lilies. They are neutral in flavor and once puffed up, their texture is like popcorn or little dough balls softened by the curry. Texture is provided by softened cashews that still have a tiny crunch. Plump golden raisins pop with flavor. Fragrant pink rose petals and green pistachio bits add aroma and color to the top. Scoop it all up with some naan or roti. Maharaja Thali: The thali is a massive plate made of leaves containing an assortment of delicacies fit for royalty. There is a dry curry of cauliflowers, carrots, and green beans cooked in a curry spice mixture with just enough water so that they are coated with flavor. Lehsun ki chutney is a red paste of garlic and red peppers, which delivers some solid heat. Mirchi ke tipore is a quick pickle made by frying green chilies in spices. The chilies are soft, tender, and very flavorful. Small dishes contain dal (stewed lentils) and curry. Scoop everything up with one of the rotis (wheat, pearl millet, and corn) or with a baati (hard fried bread ball the size of a golf ball). Between dunks in the ghee and dal, take a sip of the cold tangy buttermilk. For dessert, laapsi is a sweet treat made of grain flour, ghee, milk, nuts, and dried fruits. It has a soft, jiggly, almost pudding like texture. There is another dessert, similar to the laapsi. The green, soft, and gooey concoction contains milk, sugar, and cardamom. Dining Area: The interior is long and spacious with over a dozen tables. Parking: There is a lot in the back with a handful of spaces that you can park in. Half the spaces are reserved for the neighboring restaurant. read more

Bhookhe in Hindi means hungry. True to this name, I went in extremely hungry to them a few weeks ago. Luckily, they were open AND were serving their King thali, with multiple items on one plate. I enjoyed it thoroughly. The quantity was huge and I couldn't finish it despite my hunger. I am a fan of trying different food and relished the Rajasthani specialties- particularly the Gatte curry (chickpea flour) and the daal baati churma. Butter milk at the end was so refreshing too. Will definitely return next time I am in the area to try out other dishes. Service was prompt and polite. Great experience overall read more

Good food and good service! Will keep visiting and y'all should try it atleast once if you like Indian food.

I was in Artesia today to purchase mangoes from Pioneer Cash and Carry. Two blocks is an Indian restaurant restaurant listed 49th in the LA Times 101 top restaurants. I always wanted to try this place. This is the perfect time to get some food for me and my coworker and neighbor. As I drove up and parked in front of Bhookhe, I noticed how quaint and beautiful the restaurant looks from the outside. The inside is nicely decorated with images on the walls. The tables are simple that makes you feel like you're invited to someone's home. The type of Indian food on the menu is from the north. My coworker suggested I order the Healthy bread is called Bajri ki Roti. Good Millets for health. Dal makhani for you to try. With the bread above. I asked them if the dal has tomatoes. He said yes. I told him I can't tolerate tomatoes. He told me he can exclude the tomatoes because they have customers who have allergic reactions to certain ingredients. I was amazed and thrilled. Most places have their dal made and I can't have. Bhookhe makes it to order. It will take longer. But it's worth the wait. I also ordered samosas. The dal and filling in the samosas had spices that made the food delicious to eat. I enjoyed everything. I can't wait to go back to try other items on the menu. My coworker got the Vada Pav, Dabeli and Chole bhature. Him and his wife loved everything. DJ's rating: 4.79/5.00 Would I come back? Definitely Yes. read more

The best Rajasthani food I have had since moving to Los Angeles. We tried the Maharaja, Maharani thaali and some other items of the menu. Everything seemed to be lovingly prepared, and tasted authentic - and it had all the traditional items on the list. My top favorite things from the thaali were daal baati, kadhi, lasun chutney. The three halwas given as desert were just beyond perfect. Gattey ki sabzi and dahi bada could use some improvement. read more
