What a Turnaround! Indian Summer Grill is Back and Better Than Ever! I had left a 2-star review in the past due to some disappointing experiences with previous owners, but I'm thrilled to say that Indian Summer Grill is now under new ownership--and the difference is night and day! The new owners are incredibly kind, attentive, and truly go above and beyond to make you feel welcome. The food has also gotten a serious upgrade. Everything ordered was bursting with flavor, fresh, and clearly made with care. You can tell there's pride in what they're serving now, and it shows in every bite. If you had a less-than-great experience in the past, like I did, give them another shot--you won't regret it. Major props to the new owners at Indian Summer Grill. You've completely turned this place around!

First time trying Indian food so I was recommended to play it safe and get butter chicken or the chicken tikka masala which are very popular. When I got there my first option was the butter chicken but unfortunately they ran out so I went with the tikka masala. The serving was so big lots of chicken lots of sauce and lots of rice all very flavorful and creamy it was a good experience for my first time trying Indian food so now Im excited to expand into more options. O and that garlic naan is made fresh right there and it is just so soft and hot and garlicky which I loved

1 protein 1 side combo plate: Chicken and Saag Paneer. Medium spicy. (Not shown: naan)

I live in El Segundo and it is just an excellent place for lunch. Their naan bread is insanely good. They make everything fresh as far as I can tell. They're always very nice and grateful. Some recent improvements to the interior. Highly recommend for your next Indian food craving.

Exceptional service & food. Owners are kind but when you ask for spicy, they definitely know what they're talking about. Also with every a la carte entrée you order, you get free, naan bread, rice and a drink. 10/10 with flying colors. Don't sleep on their Mango Lassi!

Chicken Tikka Masala

Tried for the first time recently, the service was great and staff was friendly howeverrr the food itself was actually pretty terrible. It was actually inedible im never one to complain but it was just money thrown in the trash .

Chicken tikka masala bowl - lots of rice, lots of chicken, lots of chunks of spices to unpleasantly bite into, and practically no sauce.

I've been going there for many, many years. Even after moving away from El Segundo, I stop by this place for my favorite Indian food whenever I'm nearby. Today is the first time I've been disappointed. The place reeked of cigarette smoke, like someone was smoking in their tiny kitchen or right out back. It was nauseating. The only person I saw working was super grumpy and barely said a word to me. The food tasted good. It always does. But one of the great things about chicken tikka masala is that rich delicious sauce that you dip your naan into and my bowl had very little. Not enough to dip a corner of the bread! The chicken portion was generous but also very, very dry. So the dish was begging for more sauce. Also, I kept crunching on big hunks of spice like star anise or cloves - it's a pretty potent and unpleasant thing to bite into. Next time I'm in the area, I'm not sure Indian Summer will be one of my stops. They seem to be going downhill... certainly very far from the days of tablecloths and outstanding service when they were on the other side of town.

Solid spot for good Indian food! Takeout only, no frills type of place but it's great. Good food and super friendly staff and clean! Great Veg Samosas and the Tamarind Sauce was excellent. Chicken Combo plate is real good. Masala has nice layers of flavor that run deep! Chicken could have been more tender but it was good. The Grilled Veggies were awesome....nice and fresh and slightly crisp and seasoned perfectly. Lots of Rice! Had a bite of the Veg Masala and that was great too...real good smoke flavor! This place is on its way to a 5.Star rating....

6/26/23. Good portion + flavor. Tikka, saag, rice, naan. Express lunch post run. Day after ZNP trip with sweet fh. $12.

Holy crap, Batman. I just discovered a hidden gem. $12.00. Express lunch. Tikka, saag (the real star of the meal), naan. Best post run meal ever. No nonsense. Order. Be respectful and wait patiently as you watch the chef freshly bake your naan. Samosas also freshly cooked and will take 20 min. You're welcome, enjoy. I'll be back. Come support!

Love Indian Summer! They are so nice and friendly here. Everything I've ordered is delicious. Confused why their rating isn't higher so don't trust the older reviews. I've been eating here a couple of times a month since 2019 and the quality has been consistently good. Small spot with one high top table and a counter if you need to eat immediately, otherwise take it to go. Don't sleep on this gem. This is one spot I hope doesn't stay hidden for long!

I'm no vegan, heck I'm not even vegetarian so finding good food in this category can be challenging. We really enjoyed our food here! Parking: 10/10: plenty of free street (when no farmers market) and lots of parking in the back. Facility: 9/10: Nothing fancy, but there are a few tables to eat at. The place was clean. Not sure if they had a bathroom. Service: 11/10: The lady working there was extremely nice, professional and knowledgeable about all the food items, how they would and could be served (hot or to go) and the ingredients. For me, I'm allergic to mushrooms and they seem to be the core ingredient for vegan foods but she gave me excellent options. Service like this will have us on repeat. Food: 10/10: Jackfruit "Crab" cakes. I'm allergic to crab so it was good to be able to eat these. I had never had jackfruit before and let me tell you, I was shocked. The greens were good and I'm very picky. The side of grains were good and the next day I put it in the air fryer, added hummus and Trader Joe's Soffrito seasoning and it was like a whole new meal! Sooo good! Jamaican jerk mushrooms: 10/10: hubby loves this dish and he was full for the first time during our fast. Some smoothies were out we split the Seamoss punch. (Lots of people were buying their smoothies). We grabbed a vegan chili to go for the next day and although it wasn't your typical bean chili and was sprouted, the taste was excellent. Will be back -- with friends!

And then there was poop toilet paper in the bathroom trash can. It was noticeable because it was filed to the top and was facing upwards. Both single stalls were occupied for 8 minutes. Making it seem like it impossible to wash my hands. My cloth napkin at the table had a brown stain on it. After seeing poop I couldn't stop thinking about poop. The food is over priced the dishes are no big deal. I would not return again. I liked the outdoor patio.

This place definitely earns the ratings it has gotten…read more We ordered the Seoul Bowl, Po Boy Sandwich, Sunset Smoothie and a side of Grilled Organic Tempeh. Everything was fresh, good portions and most importantly actually flavorful. The Seoul Bowl was the healthier option and still had plenty of flavor. The Po Boy sandwich was my fav.. not exactly "health food" but not overly heavy either. Just the right balance. I had never tried pea protein shrimp before so I was a little skeptical but it was surprisingly delicious and worked really well in the sandwich. We both like our food spicy and they were great about customizing it for us. They added jalapeños to my sandwich and gave us spicy mayo on the side which pretty much made the meal perfect for our taste. The grilled organic tempeh was the only thing I personally found a little bland but my wife really liked it so probably more of a preference thing than an issue with the dish. The Sunset Smoothie was thick, tasted great and was a very good portion. Yes, prices are definitely on the higher side but unlike some other places in the area where you pay premium prices and leave wondering why, here the portions and especially the quality made it worth it. We would definitely come back.

It's a cute little spot, space is clean, and they have a bathroom for customers. There's a small parking lot in the shopping center where you can park for free too, yay!
