I might say this is some of the best Indian food I've had in a very long time. Let's just go down the line: 1) Garlic Naan -- tasty and had a nice char in certain areas. Not as soft and buttery (which I was expecting) compared to other naans but it was still very good. Will order again. 2) Fish Pakora - fresh and fried very well. Coating was still crisp in some areas and fish was flaky and tender. Pairs well with the chutneys. 3) Saag paneer - creamy paneer, delicious fresh spinach with yummy spices. I really enjoyed that. 4) Pickle Stand (assortment of chutneys) - tasted fresh and homemade. Sooooo delicious -- had tamarind, lime, mint, and another sauce I can't identify at the moment. But yummy! 5) Lamb Kahrahi - this was my first time having this dish ever. Omg! The smokiness of the lamb which I guess is from the tandoor plus the sauce with tomatoes, garlic and ginger -- which you could taste -- was soooooo good!! Ima hafta add that to my rotation. The lamb was tender too. All around excellent dish. 6) half order of basmati rice. Just the right amount and a delicious base for the saag and lamb. The portions were great too. I couldn't have asked for a better meal via a delivery service. The driver was nice too. I can't wait to go there and dine in! I highly recommend!!

Come early - they open at 5 - or reserve ahead, because this place fills up quickly. Initially we'd drop by while going to the beach but recently we've started booking ahead, especially when we bring friends. Everyone we've taken has been delighted to discover this restaurant - a few of our friends had lived in Santa Monica for years before ever venturing inside. Everything we've tried on the menu has been excellent. The first time we came, the kanpachi - their take on ceviche - was recommended to us, and now we order it every time. The lime and coconut dressing is divine. We shared konpachi and green papaya salad and it was a very affordable early dinner. Lately, when we come with friends, we've simply let the chef guide the menu, which has been a wonderful way to experience the restaurant. Definitely leave room for dessert. It's rare to find such light refreshing desserts without diary. And the service is close to perfect: warm and cordial without being sweet, attentive while leaving us to enjoy our food.

It was my first time trying Burmese food, so I had no idea what to order and just asked the young gentleman working there to pick something for me. He chose the Mandalar fried noodles with chicken and wow...he did not disappoint. The noodles were savory, filling, and packed with flavor, and the sauces on the side made everything even better. The move is to mix the fish sauce with the lemon juice into the noodles. Incredible flavor combo. The vinegary cabbage on the side was also perfect with it. The whole thing tasted really fresh and honestly felt very authentic. I didn't even think I was hungry enough to finish the whole plate, but I could not stop eating it. Definitely want to come back and try more!
