This is a hole in the wall kind of Indian Food. There's no frills about it. They have a beautiful Naan Oven where the new owners Jay and Kim took over about two months ago. The chicken Masala is the must try here and of course the Naan. You can't skip on the lamp curry or the paneer saag too. For $17-$19 you get a complete meal of one protein, one side, naan and a soda. Trust me that's like eating two meals when it's all said in done. I was able to visit inside their clean kitchen and witness their cooking process. Jeez there a lot of work involved but so worth it to wait for the piping hot food. So if you're in the neighborhood give this small mom and pop a shot and see if it's worth your time and money when you're flying out of LAX or live near by. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Indian Summer Grill - 1 protein 1 side combo plate: Chicken and Saag Paneer. Medium spicy. (Not shown: naan) - Indian Near Me - El Segundo, California

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 read more

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! read more

Indian Summer Grill - Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - El Segundo, California

The food is good, but having an internet FEE is ridiculous. The level of communication in English makes it more difficult to order at the counter. read more

Good really good ! New ownership is really nice , always loved h the e food here , the flavors are ALOT more stronger , personally a little more spice than usual but for those that love spice this is really for you , I loved it but next will ask for less spicy but still overall really great ! Love to see them thrive :) read more

Always great food with helpful suggestions by staff. They are in our family's rotation for tasty takeout.

The food itself was really nice, I could taste the richness of Indian seasonings, and on top of that, they made the food in front of you! The people in the restaurant were very kind and checked on us often. read more

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. read more

Indian Summer Grill - Chicken tikka masala bowl - lots of rice, lots of chicken, lots of chunks of spices to unpleasantly bite into, and practically no sauce. - Indian Near Me - El Segundo, California

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.... read more

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! read more

Indian Summer Grill - 6/26/23. Good portion + flavor. Tikka, saag, rice, naan. Express lunch post run. Day after ZNP trip with sweet fh. $12. - Indian Near Me - El Segundo, California

This was the closest Indian food to the airport. We thought we'd give it a chance. We ordered the express food for 10.75 for two items you can choose on the menu. We ordered saag, chicken tikka masala and lamb curry. All of it were good and tasty. We only waited for 15 minutes. We thought the rice was too yellow although the taste was quite good. The restaurant was not too busy and we were attended quick. The parking was easy to get into and it wasn't too crowded. Overall, a good place to stop whenever your craving for Indian food. read more

Chicken tiki masala and saag paneer never disappoints!! Staff is always friendly and nice.

Delicious everything made to order and authentic. Friendly staff and you get to watch the airplanes takeoff and land.

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! read more

I found myself in the El Segundo area early, so decided to come to this place that I'd been curious about. I love Indian food am always appreciate a great counter-style place. It's very bare but clean and there's a lot to choose from. The employees were cordial and I didn't have to ask for utensils for my "to go" order. Note there is only one round table inside and it's very warm if you wait for your food by the counter. I ordered a combo with Coconut Curry Chicken and Dal Makhani (lentil beans with ginger and garlic), saffron rice and plain naan. There weren't enough lentils, mostly sauce but man, I was eating the curry sauce alone with the rice and naan. Creamy and thick, slightly salty at first and I didn't really taste coconut milk but I was beyond content. There was a lot of chicken and enough food in the combo for 2 meals for me. The naan was perfect! Thin and crispy on the outside, soft and warm on the inside. I usually go to Samosa House off Overland but notice that their naan has gotten too thick. Indian Summer Grill's is perfect. Your food is made to order. It's fun to watch them cook. Choose from 3 different spiciness levels. Sides aren't cheap, at $9.50 each but you get a large container, maybe half a pound? I would love to go back and try new things. Parking is easy for this easy- to-miss gem at the eastern end of Main! read more

One of the best Indian food restaurants in the South Bay. The food is cooked to order and is simply delicious.

Butter Chicken and Chicken Tiki Masala FAVORITEs I work close and try to eat here once a week

Wonderful!! I am from NY and we have some great Indian food, but this place is one of the BEST I've ever had. a huge bonus is the prices are good, portions are big and the owner is so kind!! read more

Another long-overdue review. Indian Summer is consistently good over the past 2 decades I've been visiting. I really miss their sit-down location. Even though it's just takeout now, the food quality is just the same. Excellent Korma, Masala, & Rice! We love getting the large size and having leftovers throughout the week. Last time I ordered online, I remember it being a bit clunky, so I recommend ordering over the phone. read more

Food is always good, service is always quick and polite, good vibe and ambiance. Cheers.

This review it's been long overdue. I've been eating at this place for years. Come from Santa Monica for it. I have tasted it about 3/4 of the menu and never disappointed. I can never take on meal, always 3-4 because of the distance and lack of time. My favorites are chicken Tikka, tandoories, paneers and of course, the naan. Friendly staff and clean. Love me some indian food on days off and don't mind the drive for such a good food read more

Just stopped by here for the first time. They have legit tandoor which is rad. Guys were super passionate and kind. Clean spot. Fresh ingredients and a good amount of food for what you get. Thanks ISG! read more

Ok here goes my review. First of all this is probably some of the best Indian food I've had and for being a small hole in the wall, their food is amazing. I want to start off with the Naan. I always get the garlic Naan extra crispy and let me tell you, they knock it out of the park. The Basmati rice is always fluffy and fresh. The Saag is full of flavor and pungent of aromas when it hits the pellet. I've had the chicken and lamb masala and they're both mouth watering. However, I did talk to the owner about what other Yelpers were saying about the chicken having a rubbery texture to it. Well as of this review, he took my observation and completely corrected the issue. The chicken is now super tender and falls apart in your mouth and easy to consume. If your are looking for some good reasonably priced Indian food, hit this spot up because you won't regret it. read more

Not sure why the bad reviews. We live close by and this place is amazing for take out. We have only had really good, SUPER freshly made to order, piping hot food each time. The menu has all your basics and price is very reasonable. We are no experts in Indian food, but this place is very good, and we like the guy who seems to run the entire show at this restaurant. read more

Food is excellent. Although there isn't much of a dining area, the quality of food is excellent. Great for takeout.

loved the vegetable , pakora and samosa, both chutneys were also great very reasonable priced , the two cost only $10, i'll be back read more

Long time customer prior to their merging with the Indian restaurant and changing their menu. Hadn't been there in years. Came in and ordered up. Waited 40 minutes in my car. Saw the bill climbing and mentioned nicely there was a discount on orders over $50. He didn't believe me! Asked me for a coupon! Wanted to argue. Apparently unfamiliar with their website. He did spin around the tip iPad. I love Indian food but I think any another Indian restaurant would be happy for my $80 takeout order and will go that route moving forward. Unless surly unpleasant customer service is your thing, avoid. read more

Way too much salt in the food. The flavors are so strong you can't tell what you're eating. The eggplant didn't taste like eggplant, just sauce and ginger . The chaana didn't taste like the typical tomato based curry but whatever salty curry was used. The lamb was at least tender, but so salty it was unpalatable. The Naan was not made properly, it was raw dough on some parts. It seems like the food was made with the same salty base sauce for everything and in a hurry. The only thing that tasted like indian food that i have had in the past either from restaurants or even cooking at home was the rice and mango lassi. Those 2 were the only normal flavors in this wasted meal that is going in the trash. read more

Really delicious food! Service was friendly too. You get a LOT which was great for me since I love leftovers. Definitely recommend!

This Indian place was ok. We got chicken masala & rice and nan. It was good but not enough gravy. Also the food was good but not as flavorful as others I've had. Good if it's close by and your hungry. read more

Excellent food, I came after work, had fast service and a delicious chicken masala. The prices were really affordable and I'll be back to try other dishes read more

Excellent food and excellent prices, tikka masala and coconut curry chicken are our go tos, absolute local gem.

I went back again! It was so much better the second time. Vegetable biryani loaded with vegetables this time. Naan was made to order - very good! Tandoori chicken was good too. Glad I went back for sure. Will definitely go back again. read more

What do I think about when I think of Indian Summer? I think, "Ehhh............................" With a big long pause. The best thing this restaurant has for it is that the food is already cooked, so it's quick. Oh, and their naan was pretty good. Basically, it's a good place to go if you want the food NOW. I mean, there wasn't anything really wrong with the food. It tasted good, and it fills you up.. but it's not something to write home about. I like to eat Indian food, but I've had better. If I had to go here again, I would go. read more

This is one of those neighborhood secrets that shouldn't be a secret. The tikka masala is to die for and the saag paneer is something I crave more than I care to admit. We've tried a bunch of stuff there though and you can't go wrong! read more
