    For 6 years my husband and I didn't see our friend who lives in Washington D.C. Fortunately, he was here and we went to have a dinner. He loves Indian food, when he saw this place he liked in the first sign. The food is really tasty, they don't ask how spicy could be, okay? The service is very nice and friendly. And ambiance is bold, colorful. You can see many artists had enjoyed the food. Many pictures on the wall. The price is good for the neighborhood. Just to park you need a little time.

    Dined in for lunch on 3/13/25 with friends/coworkers. We always enjoy eating here. There's only 1 person who takes care of the customers and he is efficient. He always has a smile and very helpful. During lunchtime, it has always been the same waiter and he's friendly and provides great service. We always order lunch special which is a great value. They also offer great options from chicken, seafood and vegetarian options as well. I love the shrimp masala. This time I tried the chicken masala and it was delicious! I also love the naan bread! If naan was the only thing they had, I would be happy to eat just the naan, that's how delicious their naan is. I always get the garlic naan. The ambiance is relaxing, this time, the restaurant was full so it was loud. The restaurant is clean. They are located across the street from Whole Foods near UCLA. I would like yo try their ayce on Saturday one day. If you like Indian food, this place is worth the try. Parking on the street.

    I haven't been to India, so I can't speak as to whether Bollywood Bites is authentic or not. I can only speak to whether the food aligned with my taste buds or not. And it did. Stopped in for dinner with a friend last week. I have to admit, on the way, I'm sending text messages asking about parking. Told that there was a lot of street parking, I was still anxious. But when I got there, there was quite a available spots. I don't know what the enforced hours are - but I'd rather pay the few bucks and avoid the fine. There's a Whole Foods across the street that looks like it has a parking garage. I don't know if that's paid or timed - gonna have to see for yourself. Walked in. Pretty empty. My friend at one table and another party - just finishing up. Not a large place but would easily accommodate a small party - not sure how it would work for a large group though. Probably would have to call well ahead and make reservations. If that's even possible. Service was fine. Again, not quite attentive but there when needed. Friendly. explained the menu and dishes. Refills, etc. Then the food - which I enjoyed. I thought it would be spicy as in hot. And though it wasn't, the flavors made up for it. The meats were tender and juicy. The greens were crisp. The sauces and dips were more than enough for the dish. And I loved the Garlic Naan. I kept eating the bread even after I was full. I don't make it out to Westwood often so coming back for me is in the undecided column. I don't eat Indian food often but I know about this place as an option should I ever have a craving.

    Chole Bhatura and Chicken 65

    Literally the best Indian food in LA. When you ask for spicy, it's real Indian spicy food! The samosa, lamb biriyani, chole bhatura, chicken 65, and dal makhni are so good, oh my god! Took me back home!

    Chicken Vindaloo Garlic Naan
    Anisha D.

    My husband loved going here when he worked for UCLA several years back. I had to go to LA for my passport and decided to come here for lunch. I ordered the fish pakodas, chicken vindaloo and garlic naan. The fish was very soft and fried very well. It was delicious in taste, alongside mint and tamarind chutney. The chicken vindaloo was flavorful. The potatoes were soft and the masala was mixed in very well. The garlic naan was soft and crispy. The vibe of the place is great as-is the food. Looking forward to coming back again and again.

    The receipt : Price not worth the food served

    Food = (-10) Service = (3) Ambiance = (3) slow and empty for the night before Thanksgiving 2024 About 1/10-1/20 through the meal, it was noticeable this WAS NOT Salmon. Catfish was served...... Ask the waiter what white fish was presented to me. Waiter's response,"a white fish..." My response, 'what white fish?' Waiters response, "a white fish..." My response, 'what white fish is this, because this definitely is not Salmon.' Waiter's response, "it's Catfish, we do not serve Salmon here anymore." My response, 'this is not Catfish, and why did you not disclose to me the restaurant has discontinued serving Salmon?' To the owner, please just take it off the menu or disclose what is accurate and true on the menu. The waiter asked what to do, I said nothing and it was just downhill from there. I finished my meal, paid in full, no tip, left and will never patronize again.

    Saag Paneer
    Daph H.

    When my local Indian restaurant no longer became an option, we decided to try Bollywood Bites. To be honest, we probably would have tried this place earlier if not for the corny name. I placed an order online through their website. Oddly enough, there is no way to pay for your order online. You can either pay cash/card at pick up or have someone call you back for a credit card number. They have lunch bowl specials that are listed online as being $8.50, but when you pick up, you get charge more - I think $9.50 for vegetarian bowls and $10.50 for ones with meat. They have several different entrees available for the bowls, which are served on top of rice. We've only had the saag paneer and chicken saag, which are both good. I like that the meat on the chicken saag is always tender. I would not recommend the veggie naan wrap, which was completely underwhelming - mostly peas and carrots, with some cauliflower, and lettuce, wrapped in naan. I've been used to the frankies from Bombay Frankie, and this was pretty flavorless in comparison. Be sure to check out the wall of pics with the chef with various celebrities like Michael Jackson, Al Gore and Wolfgang Puck. Metered street parking out front and free two-hour parking in the Broxton parking lot before 5pm.

    This is one of my go-to favorites in this area. I love the food and they are super quick with pickup and often have usually have tables available for eating in!

Whether you are looking for high end crab, lobster, or dry scallops to an affordable cod or trout filets, they have it in stock. This review is mainly for the cafe which uses the fresh fish and seafood from the market but adds no flavor, flair, or seasoning. The 1st disappointment was the clam chowder which was a rich bowl of cream and clams without any seasoning. The oysters were fresh and delicious but there was creativity added with a mostly vinegar mignonnette. The calamari were mostly rings that were heavily breaded and unseasoned served with a side of bottled cocktail sauce and mayo. Perhaps the most disappointing of all was the crab Louie with a nice amount of real crab, but no amount of creativity ,textures,flair or flavor. Will definitely go back for the market but not to the cafe.

She anticipated our needs before we even had to ask, and her passion for her craft came through in every drink she crafted. Not just good drinks -- memorable ones. The food matched the occasion perfectly. The bread arrived fresh from the oven, still steaming, with that irresistible warmth you only get when timing is done right. And the fish and chips? An absolute standout -- golden, crisp, and perfectly crunchy in every bite. The kitchen clearly takes pride in what they're sending out. This is the kind of place that earns regulars, and it's easy to see why. Great food, great drinks, and great people making it all happen. Next time you're in town, do yourself a favor: pull up a stool, ask for Jess, and let her take care of you. You won't regret it.

Grilled oysters are hard to find and boy do they make them well. They are 1/2 dozen oysters grilled with garlic butter & parmesan. They even have great fish tacos.

Appetizers we started with the baked scallop special with chorizo, the caviar fries and the caviar dip. The baked scallop was delicious and the cause dip with the salt vinegar chips was fantastic. I could still dip more chips in that dish. I chose between the mussels and the fried fish sandwich. Alex recommended the fish not because it was better than the mussels. But because you just can't get a fried fish sandwich like theirs. I agree. The fry breading they have is top notch and the size of the sandwich literally has me full still 7 hours later. I substituted the fries for a lightly dressed side salad and loved it all. Besides, other folks had chips and fries to share. Other dishes were the fried and cold lobster rolls. The bagel breakfast plate and fish and chips. We even got dessert which was the pistachios tiramisu and the strawberry cake. Both good but the tiramisu was next level.
