I had to dispute it with my credit card company and that is how I got my money back. No food, no apology, no money. What a shame, we really wanted to try something new.

On top of that, the food was amazing!! We shared the vegan combo and added lamb. Let me say with confidence that everything was delicious. I can't name or pinpoint which portions were the best, but I legit loved every bite we had. Soooo good. It's been a while since I've had a memorably good meal. Also, we shared some Tej and a cocktail. Everything was excellent. Ive had Tej from other restaurants and will say this one was especially delicious as it tasted more fermented. I'm sorry I can't be more specific w the spread but trust me... everything is YUMMY. Parking was easy to find in the parking lot and free!!

It has American, Mexican and Ethiopian food, so there is something for everyone :) I started with the Sambusa with beef and really liked it! The waitress recommended us to eat it with salsa from their salsa bar and it paired perfectly. It was a little oily but great flavor regardless! I also got the Awaze tips with Injera and beef. The injera was a spongey tortilla/bread like carb that was covered with a beef/veggies mixture. We were able to adjust the spice level on this since the waitress warned us the dishes were very spicy but to be honest, it wasn't spicy at all and I would like to try the other dishes with spice next time. The Awaze tips dish was really good and pretty big portion. Excellent service and food! I would love to come back to try more.

We wanted to try one of each but we were told by our server that we can only choose one. We found it as a bummer because of course my partner and I wanted to try different things. The food was good, just wished the portions and options were more. Overall, it was still a pleasant experience. The entertainment from the belly dancers also made the night so fun and memorable.

The ambiance in the restaurant is lovely and the seating is very comfortable. It also smells great there. I got the pad Thai which was fantastic. It was well spiced and flavorful and had a lovely peanut flavor. The noodles were thick and doughy and really took on the sauce well. I got it with the faux chicken, which had a really meat-like texture and just the right amount of tenderness. The carrots and bean sprouts were crisp and added a nice crunch. It wasn't too heavy and I felt really good afterwards. Parking is really easy either at a metered spot in front, on the residential streets on the side or in their adjacent parking lot. I will definitely return again soon to enjoy items from their vast menu and hope to enjoy their wonderful dine in experience!

I can't wait to come back to this place. It's absolutely adorable, the staff are so friendly, and…read morethe concept is brilliant. I went on a whole food vegan diet for 40 days as part of a cleanse and health journey. So my fiancé and I decided to come out here before a concert one night. He's been vegan for years and years, but I've never had that diet so it was hard for us to go out. We found this place and knew we had to go. We arrived about an hour before close, got sat immediately, and had a super sweet server (I wish I remembered her name). But I didn't realize that the menu items were all affirmations. As someone who has had a super tough year physically and emotionally, I've been really getting into meditation and manifesting and overall good vibes. So I thought going there and seeing that menu was absolutely a sign. It's fully vegan and whole food. And VAST. There was so much to choose from. I asked opinions on what to get. I think I ended up getting I Am Restored for my drink. Delish. Not sweet but very good. And then my partner and I got the I Am Glorious and the I Am Next Level to share. Everything was SO good. House made. Great flavor. And great presentation. My only wish was that is was more affordable (why does healthy yummy food have to be so expensive?!). We'd be going more often and we don't live close by. But it's worth it. Excited for our next trip back there! Side note - we also ordered delivery from them as well. The I Am Caring nachos (did notttt travel well.. get them in person). And the I Am Giving Margherita pizza. That was yummy. Recommend for vegans and non vegans alike!

I ended up getting so full that I took my second dish home! I absolutely loved the coconut drink, "I Am Chill." They were also happy to customize it with less ice, which I really appreciated. The "I Am Next Level" bowl was delicious, healthy, and very satisfying. My second dish, the "I Am Beaming" Pesto Alfredo Pasta, was a little too creamy for my taste, but it was still enjoyable. It was fairly noisy during lunch on Friday, and the service was decent but could have been a little more attentive. There were a few moments when I found myself wondering when the waiter would come back to my table. Overall, a great Dine LA value with delicious, healthy food and some creative drink options. I'd definitely come back to try more dishes!

Their grocery store has everything you could want in terms of Indian ingredient selection, but the restaurant goes crazy- amazing food. They are under new management now so they're no longer called "India sweets and spices" but they are somehow even better. I've always had a hard time with spicy food and when we used to go in, they would tell us "they're all spicy" (referring to the curry) - and sometimes I'd get lucky and have less spicy curry, and other times I'd have to add a lot of yoghurt. But now they have actual mild options which means we're going there twice as often. The samosas are great (can be spicy too so always ask), the garlic naan is incredible, and if it hasn't changed, you can ask for poori instead of flatbread. The staff is super friendly and hospitality is unmatched. If you come in on Holi they sometimes have a bowl of bright powder for you to bless yourself or your friends with. Genuinely love this place. Always amazing Indian music videos playing inside too.
