My…read moredaughter loved the masala dosa, my son had the Appam with Fish Pollichathu, my husband had the Thalassery chicken biryani with lemon pickle and red onion raita, and I had the mutton coconut roast with chapathi. Every single dish was packed with flavor, unique in its own way, and tasted deeply authentic. It truly reminded me of home. Special shoutout to the Fish Pollichathu -- absolutely phenomenal. The biryani was fragrant and authentic, and the mutton roast was spot on. This is the kind of meal where everyone keeps passing plates around saying, you have to try this. Just as impressive was the service -- the place was packed during weekend lunch, yet the staff were warm, friendly, quick, and efficient throughout. So happy we gave this place another try after so many years. What used to be a 3-star review is now an easy 5 stars. We'll definitely be back.

Delicious and authentic Indian food…read more My friend and I were seated quickly and our order was taken. Food was brought as it was ready. They forgot to bring the paneer dish we ordered but once we asked about it, they made sure to get it to us quickly and with a new basket of warm naan. The mango lassi was amazing. I absolutely loved the paneer butter masala and garlic naan. I will be coming back for those. The dosa was perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and the veggie samosas had a nice crunch. Lots of families come here to eat. This is the type of restaurant I would feel comfortable dining at alone as the waiters are very attentive and kind.

This is a completely vegetarian restaurant…read more I came here to get their spinach masala dosa because I love my spinach masala dosa from my favorite South Indian restaurant near home and I REALLY wanted to try someone else's version. We soon found out that their dosas are not gluten free. This was a really big bummer. But...good to know for anyone who is gluten free. They do put wheat flour into their dosas. We changed our order to two vegetables dishes. We ordered Bhindi (okra) fry and Saag Aloo (creamy puréed spinach with potatoes. My husband ordered a chili garlic naan. Both dishes came with a hearty amount of basmati rice. While we waited for our food, I noticed the restaurant was full of Indian people and a sprinkling of other people (including me) which I think is always a good sign when I'm ordering Indian food. True to my observation...Annapurna did not disappoint. The saag aloo was perfectly spiced and flavored and I really enjoyed the meal. The Bhindi was also very good. My only complaint is that the leftovers for the Bhindi were rather sparse! So overall i think they did a good job. I was disappointed about the glutinous dosas -- i called to double check and my favorite dosa place back home does not have gluten in its dosas. So key is always ask and don't assume there's no gluten. Even though i couldn't have the dosa, i still really enjoyed my meal. I didn't dock any points for the lack of gluten free dosa batter because my food was still very good and I felt like i wasn't missing anything. The service was very good. I want to give a shout out to Rush who was our waiter and was very helpful throughout the night. Parking lot was full. We found side street parking fairly easy.

Some of the BEST Indian food in L.A....and. you'd never know it as they're not on any "best-of"…read morelists that we've seen (not yet!). Also hiding in plain sight. Cali Tandoor is a surprisingly airy and spacious restaurant that takes up one corner of a very small strip mall. It's clean, well lit with a really nice interior, a well stocked bar and very friendly, very accommodating servers. We caught sight of the restaurant driving home and decided, out of the blue, to have lunch there. We had no expectations good or bad. Our order included lamb biryani, chicken korma, saag paneer, naan and mango lassis. And everything was...DELICIOUS! Absolutely marvelous. And so fresh! The food takes a while to come, the reason being that everything is very clearly being made to order. You can taste it, fresh ginger, warm spices, etc. Even the bread: homemade and just baked! It is for this reason that I'd advise not going there if you're in a rush. Plan on a leisurely lunch or dinner; you'll find it worth the wait. I wish I could give this place more stars. We're so happy we found it.

My boyfriend and I have been wanting to try this spot for a while since we frequent Dama Grill…read morenextdoor. 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.

The food was totally fine, but just fine. The curry fries were a decent snack but there was no…read moreparticular synergy between the fries and curry, was kinda just fries with curry on top. Not bad. The butter chicken was tasty. A little too spicy and also there were still some bits/chunks of chili that made it particularly spicy for some bites and I had to take a break lol. The roti was not bad. The reason I'm giving 3-stars is because the value is terrible for fine food. Can get really delicious Indian food like this elsewhere for way better. I think the butter chicken was like $27 and didn't even come with rice : ( The portion was pretty large though. Maybe you should just share one between two people and add rice. I usually just review on taste, but the price point just felt a little egregious. The ambiance is pretty and it's a nice lil area, so if you want a vibey elevated spot for Indian it's fine, but the food is definitely just standard and fine, not really worth it for me personally.

An authentic Indian restaurant that brings vibrant, aromatic flavors to the West L.A. area. Came…read morehere with one of my dearest friend who came down from NorCal to visit during one of the most challenging times of my life. The combination of friendship and delicious dishes delivered by Almost famous was soul-warming. Metered street parking only unfortunately, but service at the restaurant was excellent. Staff were friendly, courteous, patient, and were happy to go through the menu and make recommendations. You can tell they take pride in their dishes offered. They will check-in enough to ensure everything with the dining experience is going well, but not too frequently to impede on privacy. They have a breakfast/lunch (brunch) menu that they serve from 8am up until 2pm and a dinner menu that is available from 11am to 2pm & 5pm to 9:30pm. 1. Ginger & Cardamom Chai Latte (5/5) House-made chai with ginger and cardamom. If you like herbal spices, this drink was comforting and warming. It's not sweet, which I like and it paired well with the food dishes. 2. Crab Bhuna (4.75/5) Crab meat simmered in fragrant spices then topped with ginger, fennel seed, and curry leaves. It is served with soft, subtly sweet banana buns The crab meat was fresh and honestly, you couldn't even tell it's crab. It's seasoned perfectly with the aromatic Indian spices. The banana buns were interesting ... it was a bit on the dry side, but if you stuffed the airy pockets of the bun with the crab meat, it's not too bad. The banana bun had an interesting flavor profile; a mix of sweet-bitterness to it. 3. Sweet Potato Chaat (5/5) One of my favorite dishes here. It is sweet potato chunks mixed with a sauce blend of sweet corn, yogurt, tamarind, mint chutney and pomegranate. The sauce was light, refreshing, and tangy, balancing the natural sweetness of the sweet potato perfectly. 4. Brunch Dosa Rice & Lentil Crepe (4.75/5) Basically think of a crepe, but a super large size one. I just love their crepe - it was crispy yet doughy with a cheesy flavor. The crepe was stuffed with turmeric mashed potatoes. I typically do not like mash potatoes, but when it's served this way, I approve. The dish comes with a side of 3 sauces - sambar (lentil-based vegetable curry that's often seasoned with coriander seeds, cumin, fenugreek, dry red chilies), curry, coconut and tomato chutney. A perfect dish for sharing and for trying out the various flavors of Indian cuisine. 5. Wagyu Beef Keema Kulcha (4.5/5) Minced Wagyu beef that's seasoned well with aromatic spices and onion inside an Indian leavened flat bread. Highly recommend and will be back to try out other dishes!

You tried Almost Famous for Sunday brunch and it was absolutely fantastic!…read more Located in the heart of the Culver City arts district, this restaurant is a really great addition to the neighborhood. We went there on a sunday, which was fortunate for us and easy day to find free parking on the street. The interior is beautifully designed, sleek and cozy We ordered one of the popular spinach and mozzarella flatbreads, there are popular paneer and we shared the special dosa platter. Everything was beautifully plated and very generous portions We want to go back for dinner try more of their savory dishes and definitely come back for brunch because they do have both American and Indian options to choose from.. and the French toast looked amazing! At Almost Famous to your foodie must try list!

Want great food at affordable prices? This is the place. Want to start cooking indian food yourself but don't know what to buy? They'll help you navigate the store, and they have literally everything you could possibly need at great prices. It's not a traditional restaurant, and it's not trying to be: it's good food from friendly people at affordable prices. You'll never find another place like it, it's my favorite place in Los Angeles. A bit more detail on the food: it's cafeteria style, you choose 2 or 3 entrees from a collection of maybe 8 or 10 options, along with a side of rice/pickle. The price is usually around $13 or $15 per person if my memory serves. The options all sample very different flavor profiles (some more savory/smoky, others sweet/acidic), all truly authentic and perfectly seasoned. Seating is mainly outdoor/sheltered and a bit worn down, but that ambiance is part of the charm in my opinion: good food does not need to be pretentious to be enjoyed. Come once for an experience you won't forget, and come twice because there's nothing else like it in town.

Whenever I stop into Culver City, I try to stop by India Sweets for their incredible mango lassi!!…read moreI was introduced to this spot by my mom years ago who has also been coming here for years for lunches and lassis! Parking in the area is definitely a bit challenging; there's metered street parking right outside and right by the small side street by the shop but if you're good with walking there's street parking for those that take the time to look for it down by the residential apartments nearby. India Sweets & Spices is a small Indian bodega that serves fresh Indian food + drinks as well as sells essentials for Indian cuisine and other products from India like spices, teas, henna, oils, and more! We've never had any issues with staff here and its a great place to stock up on grocery goods if you cook Indian food frequently like we do. I most recently got a curry plate which was v tasty, fresh, and quickly made and ate with my friend in their outdoor only seated (covered w/ shade!). The seating area was not wiped down however and its been like this several times but otherwise, I've enjoyed my time w India Sweets & Spices.
