Our first time trying Indian food The best!!! highly recommended. Everything tasted awesome. Great…read moreservice definitely coming back. Thanks for such a good experience.

Probably the best Indian food I've had, especially compared to most of the highly rated spots…read moreacross Orange County (unfortunate as an OC local). It's a relatively small restaurant in Little India, not large by any means. We ordered the Tandoori Chicken, Butter Chicken, Garlic Naan, Mango Lassi, and Strawberry Lassi. Unlike other places where the meat tends to be dry, the Butter Chicken and Tandoori Chicken here stayed moist. And also, man, the flavor profiles across the board are just so much more pronounced here compared to elsewhere. Parking tip: It is street parking and signs state that you have to pay for parking. However as what others have mentioned, the meters seem to be broken? So I can't confirm or deny whether you have to pay for parking or not. If you can't find a clear street spot, there are paid surface lots around. Truly worth a visit if you're in the area or craving really good Indian food. Call Michelin over to try this out.

So sad this place is gone. Now it's some tacky, low energy restaurant. Really sad!!!…read more The new place had dull vibes walking in, felt like a cafeteria with mismatched plastic water bottles and pre-packaged lassi...it felt like a knock off Yantra...clearly riding off the prestige on Google and Yelp! Most importantly the menu and people trying to wait on us had next to nil for people skills. Even after pointing out what I wanted they still selected the wrong things... Wife and I spent about a year visiting artesia to get wedding garments for us and our respective wedding parties...and this was always our first stop! Shout out to the Yantra owner, Raj, and the hostess who always worked with Raj! Again, so sad to see it go...after becoming regulars...

Had a late lunch with a party of 4 and 2 dogs. We were able to sit outside as we were the only…read morecustomers there. The server was friendly and fast and listed the house specials and lunch specials. We decided to order the chaat, tikka masala, kashmiri kofta and garlic naan. Each dish was tasty and not hot (ordered mild). The chaat was a new dish that I tried which had crispy balls in a cold yogurt sauce. Was interesting and unexpected but not sure I'd order it again. Overall decent restaurant for a quick lunch.

I tried Indian food for the first time this past Friday thanks to my brother & sister in law. I…read moredon't know why I haven't tried it before but oh my -- it was sooo good! I loved it. Everything they ordered was delicious. I sort of third wheel myself to their dinner plans so they ordered before I arrived. I'm honestly not a fan of curry but they ordered 3 types of curry and I loved all of them! & the Naan -- OMGGGG. They ordered the garlic naan and 10/10. Sooo good. The inside is clean and well decorated. Lighting is dimmed which I love! The waiters were attentive but also gave us space -- does that make sense? They were quick & welcoming. Overall great experience. I'll be bringing my husband next time. Spacious parking, there's also parking in the back of the building & street parking.

Update as of August 16th, 2026…read more We haven't been there in a few months, so we decided to take my mom. We were welcomed by new staff there. Let me tell you, the staff before was fine, but this staff now is excellent. We had the opportunity to meet Aditya, who was our server, and he was incredible, along with this young lady, who is probably one of the sweetest waitresses we've met. They had a few other people working that were very friendly, and going to the restaurant is even more enjoyable. Food is always going to be good there, and they are very consistent. India Restaurant is our go to restaurant in Artesia Service is fast Food is very tasty Chicken Tikka is my favorite out of all Indian restaurants I have been to Keema samosas very good Bindi, Naan, Tandoori chicken is all good We have never had a bad meal in the last 20 years we have been going Don't do the buffet

I will be honest. I would have never made my way to Little India in Artesia if I wasn't lehenga…read moreshopping for my Sangeet. It was because I had my first consultation at Frontier Heritage that I Yelped for a good Indian restaurant nearby and Ashoka came up on my radar, so THANK YOU, YELP!! And more honesty... every time I went back to Frontier Heritage to get a fitting and pick up my dress, I went to Ashoka. I ended up loving the food, the staff / service, and vibe of the restaurant so kept going back. The first time I had lunch here was with my Bridesmaids and we did the lunch buffet and had Mango Lassi. The perfect Indian lunch combo! Their lunch buffet selection was more than just the typical Tikka Masala Chicken and Saag Paneer, which I happen to love both... but they had additional items I haven't seen before. For example -- a creamy pasta with spinach and mushroom. I think that was one of my Ashoka buffet favorites! It looked like Ashoka liked doing fusions and another great idea were their flatbreads. I ended up ordering their Butter Chicken Flatbread for all of us girls to share. The second time I came back, I was with my fiance and due to his dairy allergy -- we ordered off the menu. We ended up getting their Tandoori Chicken (made DF), Lamb Rogenjosh, and Aloo Gobi... and I had to get something with mushrooms because I LOVE MUSHROOMS!! They had a Mushroom Masala. It was so good! I loved it more than the pasta. The third and fourth time my fiance and I went back -- I just stuck to the buffet because I really wanted diary based items. I am so thankful that the chef was able to make Tandoori Chicken for us dairy free and other items as well. Again, their service staff were fabulous. They were all friendly, attentive, and I feel like my water glass never went below half! If I am in the area again, I would definitely go back for more.

Came here on a whim while craving some Indian food…read more The owner is very obviously kind and has a good sense of humor. Ordering can be on the phone after scanning a QR code or through a physical kiosk. I ordered the Non-Veg Lunch Special which comes with rice, naan, two meat entrees, and a side salad. The highlight of my meal was the naan, which was amazingly fresh and buttery. I got the curry chicken and tikka masala which also did not disappoint. All in all a great experience for a quick meal that was able to satisfy my cravings.

I'm giving this restaurant a 5 stars for the food! The food is delicious ! There was only 1 person…read morewho was working there and he was pleasant, but not very attentive, but maybe because he was busy behind the scenes. Even though he was nice, service is not 5 stars. I had to ask for more water a couple of times. I also had to get up from the table to ask for takeout containers and for the check. It would also have been nice if he told us the the spinach with cheese was $2 extra each on the lunch special. I would probably have still ordered it because it was delicious, but it just would have been nice to know. Still, I will be back for the delicious food.

This Indian restaurant is located in Artesia along a stretch of road known for Indian restaurants…read more(among other businesses). They specialize in, and excuse my ignorance if I'm mistaken, Gujarati-style vegetarian thali. They also do an all you can eat type format where a person comes by and fills up your dishes whenever you want. I'm usually against all you can eat style, mainly because of food waste, but this style minimizes waste. The service here was very friendly and attentive. Because of the style of the meal, they come by pretty often to check if you want any refills on any of the dishes. Included in the meal is some fresh griddled roti, puffed puri, and a warm yogurt dish. They then come by with freshly prepared vegetarian dishes and you start to dig into their comforting stews or curries. Everything was so flavorful and had to be careful of not getting too full. You can also ask for rice if you prefer it with the many dishes. My meal ended with dessert and I selected the warm carrot pudding that was just so tasty! I thoroughly enjoyed my dining experience here with the delicious food and friendly service. I came at an early hour before dinner so the place wasn't too crowded and it was pretty chill. I can only assume this place gets more crowded during the prime dinner hours. There was a lot of street parking and I found parking about a block away. I'm not sure if there were parking structures, but I just grabbed the first spot that I saw that was somewhat close to the destination.

I was going back here after four years of not eating here. This place was nostalgic to me in many…read moreways because every time we visited LA we ate here. The Thalis used to be a lot more varied in terms of menu. This time around the moong dal and tindora sabzi were mid at best. I still enjoyed the chaas and the shrikhand, which I got as dessert. The chilli bhajiya and dhokla weren't special either. The khichdi however was extremely tasty. They didn't offer any ghee with any of the food either. Service was good and quick, and the staff are warm and welcoming as always, and willing to provide any explanations of the menu. The ambience has not changed in many years and though their bathrooms are old they were pretty neat and hygienic. I don't know if I will be coming back here as often as I used to because the food has reduced from being something special to just being okay.

SERVICE - located in little India on pioneer blvd…read more- parking available on street or in one of the nearby lots - ambiance good for a casual, family friendly meal - service was okay but slow and some dishes took very long to be served MENU - rajasthani selection of entrees and thalis - all vegetarian with vegan options available - average price FOOD - baingan ka bharta (7/10): roasted eggplant mashed in a tomato sauce. This was one of the few dishes that did not contain dairy. Relative to the roti it was served with, the portion could have been bigger by filling the bowl more. The flavors were good with the smokiness of the eggplant and the warmth of the spices. - bajra roti (2/10): this was not very pleasant to eat. It was much thicker than i was expecting which made it hard to tear into small pieces and chew. WOULD I GO BACK? Maybe, though there are other nearby places that I have enjoyed more.

We opted for the Bhookhe special curry (fox nut), the Sartaj (thali), gatte curry (gram flour), and falouda kulfi.
