Flat-out the best Indian restaurant and market in the San Gabriel Valley. You get…read morerestaurant-quality food at lunch combo prices, all tucked inside an Indian market. They even sell plants. I picked up a curry plant there, and it's thriving. I've had Indo-Chinese cuisine before, but this was my first experience with Indo-Thai. The lamb paired perfectly with the rich, coconut-based Thai curry. It's a unique combination that worked surprisingly well. Highly recommended. Although the Dubai Chocolate trend is overdone, their fresh Dark Chocolate version of it gave me hope! The hardest part was driving it home so it wouldn't melt!

Background On Shop: Opened October 2010. Mom and Pop shop trying to thrive in todays economy…read more Mission Statement: We are here to serve the San Gabriel Valley and beyond to be unique and not a competitor to other retailers. Quality food and service is what we thrive to give to our loyal and new customers . We treat all customers as if they were a part of our family. Visitation Rights: Patronize the shop about a handful of times. Background On Last Visit: Purchased the SGV passport and turns out that Bhanu was one of the participating restaurants. Restroom: Located toward the back of the market. Credit Cards: They're accepted. Location/Parking: Located in a plaza on the NE corner of Rosemead Blvd and Huntington Dr.. Decent amount of parking in the plaza. Shop/Market is next door to Why Thirst (Closed For Good). Ambiance/Decor: Alright ambiance. One side of the shop is the market and the other side is the restaurant. Food Of Choice: 1) SGV Sampler: Consists of 4 samosas (veggie, chow mein, spinach, and chicken) and a jalapeno fritter, which came with two dipping sauces (green sauce and red (tamarind)). Loved the green sauce more, because it was less spicy. 2) Butter Chicken With Garlic Naan: Mmmmmmmm! So good! Bhanu For Thought: Would definitely want to go back to get more butter chicken and samosas.

We…read moreordered the Dal Tadka, Chicken Tikka Masala, Shrimp Tandoori, Vegetarian Biryani, and Naan, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The flavors were authentic, the ingredients were fresh, and each item was prepared perfectly. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and flavorful, the Shrimp Tandoori was tender and well-seasoned, and the Dal Tadka was comforting and full of taste. The Vegetarian Biryani was aromatic and satisfying, and the Naan was fresh and perfectly baked. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome throughout our visit. The restaurant was clean, comfortable, and had a pleasant atmosphere for families. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and look forward to returning soon. Highly recommended for anyone looking for delicious Indian food and excellent service!

I was blessed to have the morning off from work today due to low census, but I will be going in at…read more1PM as the census will start to rise. Anyways, got Indian food today since my cravings for Indian food wasn't satisfied yesterday. COVID-19: Social distancing is not enforced at this establishment. None of the staff wears a mask. All customers are not expected to wear a mask. It's optional now. The staff also wears gloves when handling food. There are no hand sanitizers available for customers to use. This place is available for take outs and has some indoor seating available with limited capacity. They are not sanitizing in between customers. I mention these things in my reviews for the sake of protecting immunocompromised people like the elderly and people sick with cancer and other illnesses. COVID-19 Vaccination Proof: This establishment currently does not require proof of vaccination. While I was grabbing my food from this establishment today, I asked if they had any special offers and they weren't offering any at the moment. They currently don't have happy hour. They also do not allow pets in their establishment UNLESS it's a service animal. Parking: The parking lot for this establishment is small and it does get full quickly during peak business hours. Street parking can easily be found too if the lot is full. Each parking spot is pretty wide. Their menus haven't been updated, so the prices are inaccurate in my pics. Sorry. Also, apparently, they don't serve momos anymore, which made me very sad. Also, their 2 item lunch combos are now $13.99. Food: I ordered their 2 item lunch combos that came with plain rice, yogurt or rice pudding, and naan. You can also upgrade your regular naan to garlic naan for .75¢. I chose to get two chickens (chicken curry and chicken tikka masala) with plain rice, rice pudding, and upgraded garlic naan. The chicken curry was a flavorful dish made with chicken and a spiced sauce, with regional variations using ingredients like coconut milk, yogurt, tomatoes, and various spices such as turmeric, cumin, and coriander. The chicken itself was very juicy, tender, and flavorful. The chicken tikka masala is a popular curried dish made with boneless chicken, ground spices, onions, tomatoes, cream and herbs. This dish is savory, creamy, and just the right amount of spice. Again, the chicken was cooked to perfection. Soft, tender, and delicious. The plain rice was served hot and fluffy. It readily absorbs the flavors of my two chicken orders. The fragrant and rich rice pudding is classic Indian rice pudding made with rice, sugar, milk and flavored with cardamom, nuts and touch of rose water. Since it was served iced cold, I found this very refreshing in this summer's heat. The garlic naan is a soft, leavened Indian flatbread made with all-purpose flour, yeast, and yogurt, flavored with minced garlic and traditionally brushed with garlic-infused butter. The naan itself was tender with a crackling, thin, and crisp crust. Totally worth the .75¢ upgrade. Establishment: This establishment is both a supermarket and restaurant. The supermarket is packed with lots of delicious imported Indian snacks and goodies. It's decently priced. On the other side of the supermarket is the restaurant. The restaurant itself is clean, neat, tidy, and organized. The vibes are chill. Staff: The staff here are very fast, friendly, and welcoming. They accept both cash and credit cards. There is no credit card minimum.

Haven't been back here in ages, but all I can say is the food still hits…read more Came on a Saturday night with my brother and started with the samosas. Perfectly fried, not greasy at all, and the filling was packed with flavor. The real standout though was the trio of chutneys. The tangy tamarind, spicy chili, and fresh mint-cilantro all complemented the samosas so well. For entrees, we ordered the chicken vindaloo and saag, plus garlic naan (which is a must). The naan was perfect for scooping up all the sauce, and the pilaf rice that comes with the dishes soaked everything up nicely. The chicken vindaloo had great flavor with a solid spicy kick. The saag was a bit on the bland side, but still enjoyable and had a nice chunk of cheese in it. Service was great. The staff checked in on us and made sure we were taken care of throughout the meal. The ambiance was quiet and made it easy to actually have a conversation, which I appreciated. Parking is free but shared with other spots, so it can get tight on busy nights or during lunch rush. Definitely planning to come back, especially to try their lunch buffet.

With a mix of crunchy rice and some potatoes and some cilantro and onions, this is a light appetizer that is satisfying to taste. It's not too bland nor overpowering. Lamb Biryani 9/10 The lamb is tender and not too gamey and the rice is well spiced. The sauce is not too sour and light. Chicken Tikka Masala 9/10 The chicken masala is well seasoned and richly spiced with every bite. Meanwhile the Aloo Mattar is light and comforting. The Dal is light and filling. You can also choose your preferred naan which I opted for the normal naan, which has a nice charred bottom. Bollywood Lassi 10/10 A mango based drink that is creamy and smooth.

While the exterior looked inviting, the experience of having gone to…read more Eat here was then less exciting. I'd hoped to have exceptional conversations with my servers about the Indian cuisine I enjoy, and to see what they offer as specials- moreover, what they like or what other guests seem to make popular ... you know, "specials?" or Server suggestions? There was sadly no such interaction. The servers simply "just passed the time" while I ate very basic, unenthusiastic Indian fare, at one end of the restaurant-- while sat directly facing me chatting boringly with oneanother at the opposite end of the restaraunt facing me (so not FENG SHUI!) they sat at the other end in the heat (they really need to improve the AC UNIT at this location! It was much too hot in there). The staff was incredibly unenthusiastic, and the "experience" of eating here was definitely less than hoped for. Both the experience and the food need to be consciously "spiced up."
