In the past, they used to have a buffet at this location, but because food was being wasted, it was…read morebetter for business to revert to a restaurant menu only, and I'd have to agree with him, hearing the way he explained it to me. I was served water and it had a nice lite cucumber flavor to it, which was refreshing The chutney and the green item of the condiments tasted very fresh and delicious. They have a great special that is offered every day, (see the photo) that is either one, two, or three item combo with naan and rice for only $11-$15. You could easily spend $15 going to any drive-through fast food! So that's a pretty good deal considering you're getting Indian food you could sit down and relax with. I was craving an eggplant dish instead of the special, so I ordered that and it looked like it was very fresh with rice and naan, and I was very happy with it. But if you want some Indian food located in Belmont shore which is a great neighborhood with a decent combo offer, come check them out!

At first, the prices seemed a little on the high side. I ordered a biryani, can't remember if it was lamb or chicken. Then the food arrived. It was an ungodly amount of food. There was no way I could have eaten all that in one sitting without getting sick. The amount of food I received was enough for two large meals. If you're wondering about the quality, the cold leftovers the next day were still really good. Definitely a great value for your money!

Did we just find another gem in Long Beach? My partner and I were honestly in awe of how delicious…read moreand flavorful every dish was. We'd been wanting to try Kamal Palace for a while since it had been on our radar, and of course we decided to go on Mother's Day for lunch -- fully expecting a long wait. Kamal Palace is tucked away in the Marina Pacifica shopping center in Long Beach, right along the Los Cerritos Channel. Even though it was pretty crowded when we arrived, there were still plenty of tables available, and we were seated within about three minutes. We specifically came for lunch because they offer a lunch buffet seven days a week. When it comes to Indian food, I always want to try a little bit of everything, and when we order à la carte, we usually end up with way too much food. The buffet was perfect because we got to sample a variety of curries and different dishes without overordering. I can't even remember all the names of the curries they had, but every single one we tried was flavorful and delicious. My favorites were definitely the shrimp curry and the mushroom curry. Of course, we both ordered mango lassis, and they paired perfectly with the meal. The ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was incredibly warm and welcoming. We're definitely adding Kamal Palace into our regular lunch date rotation.

Staying in the area and came across Amaravati while browsing Google Maps (because I didn't want to…read moremove my car and lose a perfectly good parking spot). This was walking distance from the hotel. I stopped by Wednesday evening after the dinner rush. Was pleasantly greeted by a friendly gal. I mentioned I wanted to order takeout. They do have a very spacious dining room, but I wanted to get back to my hotel room before dark since I was walking. I had already pre-browsed their Yelp page for dinner ideas - so opted for an order of Butter Chicken (which comes with a side of rice), and an order of Garlic Naan. Requested the butter chicken to be mild (or "as mild as possible"). Wait wasn't too long, there was another order ahead of me. My takeout order was well packaged - everything in its own container/wrapper to ensure they stayed hot and fresh. The delicious aroma was tantalizing on my brief walk back to the hotel. Holy moly. I'm no expert on Indian food - but everything tasted amazing! The garlic naan was hands down the best garlic naan I've ever had. It was warm, fresh, crispy in all the right places, and tasted equally great on its own - as well as dipped into the rich and creamy butter chicken sauce. The side of rice is perfect for one person - and the butter chicken had generous cuts of tender, delicious chicken. Spice level still had a kick to it - but it was manageable. Prices are fair considering the area, and quality of the dishes. Friendly and attentive service! I'm honestly contemplating coming back on my last day in the area for another round of dinner - I'll probably opt for a mango lassi next time to help balance out the spice. Like seriously considering going back here tomorrow night. All the portions were perfect - not too overwhelming, and I finished every last drop - saved some sauce to enjoy my last layer of garlic naan. Honestly, if it wasn't so far away from "home" - Amaravati would be my favorite / go-to Indian food restaurant from here on out. Plenty of parking spots at the time I went - but the stalls are kinda tiny. Luckily, I'm staying nearby, so within walking distance and didn't have to worry about parking.

Yum! What a great find in this area!…read more All the items we ordered were delicious. The paneer tikka masala was flavorful and creamy, the chili chicken was spicy, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken wasn't tough or rubbery. The samosas were excellent and came with both styles of chutney. Our order also came with a small side of rice which we appreciated. My only critique would be that the garlic naan was a bit flat and bland, but the former could be because it just didn't transport well since we ordered takeout. Overall, would highly recommend this spot and it holds its own against some of the more established spots in Artesia, Long Beach, etc.!

I truly struggled to pick a favorite of each. I also had the iced lemongrass Chai & the turmeric ginger immunity drink. They offered me a sample of the Chai before I ordered it which I thought was very nice. The only suggestion I would offer is to add more lime juice to the immunity drink has its turmeric heavy (obviously) but missing some tang from the lime. I was the only one dining in so the ambiance was pretty quiet & relaxed. There seemed to be a decent number of pick up/ to-go orders while I was there. Please support this small business stay open! I'm looking forward to going back & trying more items when I'm in the area.

Appus Tumeric Cafe checks all of those boxes, with Chefs VRs goal to educate and provide a place where people can enjoy great food with having no cost to their own long term health. I came in on a random Thursday to try it out for the first time and I was the only customer there. Greeted by the Chef and owner himself I was happy to share a conversation with him as he prepared my meal. Like in any new places I go to I tend to panic order and simply asked for his recommendations. I decided to go with the item that will be good for on the go as I needed to eat quickly before jumping to my next work call. I went with The Maharaja Burrito one of those items Cher VR recommended as well as the Yellow Lentil Soup. Along with the burrito came with a yellow curry sauce to also add more flavor to the burrito. Both dishes were fabulous! I truly enjoyed the flavors from both dishes, however I kind of wished I went with their garbanzo soup to add more spice to the overall meal. I will be back for sure to make my way through his menu as everything sounded delicious .

My daughters and I had been craving for Indian food. It just so happens we had an opportunity to…read morego so we search Yelp and found Flamin Curry 2 in the Long Beach area we were at. The Yelpers didn't disappoint with the high ratings and reviews of this place. We were excited to see that Flamin Curry 2 had a fast food option in which you can choose 1, 2, or 3 combo as well as Ala carte. We were able to choose what we wanted to eat and sample each other's choices. I was doubly elated when I asked if any food contains any nuts as one of my daughters is highly allergic to some nuts. I was told that in other restaurants, usually the sit down full service Indian restaurants, there may be nuts, but not in this "fast food" Indian restaurant. Our server said all the food in their restaurant has no nuts at all. All 3 of us chose a 2-choice meal which had basmati rice and naan bread included. All of the food we chose were tasty, flavors were authentic, and had satisfied our cravings. I especially enjoyed the naan bread and thought it was the best one I've ever tasted. It tasted so fresh. I loved the texture and butter flavor in my mouth. I chose chicken curry and tandoori, one of my daughters chose butter chicken and black pepper chicken, and my other daughter also chose butter chicken and palak paneer. My daughters also ordered mango lassi (which we were told were made by hand at the store even the yogurt used for the drink) and I had coconut water. The service was wonderful. The servers were very friendly and helpful especially as they found out it was our first time there. They were very open and patient answering our questions. They also seemed to have hand-made and delivered the best naan bread I've had to our table. The ambience of the place is very casual. It was a small place, but had enough tables that people can sit and enjoy the freshly-cooked meal. There was also a TV in which a FIFA World Cup Soccer was playing, so I was able to enjoy the food fresh and even watch the soccer game. What a winner!!!! I would definitely eat there again when I get a chance to and will highly recommend it to all my friends.
