Their second location in LA is in Hawaiian Gardens. Gorgeous interior, perfect place for a date or gathering. They have large spaces and private areas inside. The food was delicious and so are their mocktails!! Wowww I was very impressed with the double smoked apple cocktail and highly recommend trying it. All their dishes are made with so much detail. And, many of the dishes have a very visual interactive moment like their table side bhel puri, puri, or their chicken biriyani and smoked beef. From modern authentic dishes to street food they have it all. The sloppy khans were also delicious! I really enjoyed their curry dishes with the garlic naan. They have so many dishes to try! I cannot wait to come back to try their butter chicken and paneer as well! For dessert we tried their rose milk cake and the chocolate samosas. Both were satisfying and the milk cake felt really special. Huge thank you to Ali, who has such a vibrant energy about him!!!!! He really added to the wonderful experience and helps us appreciate all the details and background of the dishes as well! Cannot rave about him enough. Definitely made the experience special for us! Congrats to Khan Saab on their new location!! Come check them out!

I had high hopes for the Hawaiian Gardens location. When it originally opened as Shor, we were…read moreexcited to learn it was under the same ownership, with Chef Ali Mookhi behind the menu. The larger, open space was a huge plus compared to the more compact Fullerton location, and the new items like chapli kebabs and different karahi variations were refreshing. This easily could have become our favorite location. Unfortunately, since Shor rebranded as Khan Saab, the overall experience seems to have gone downhill. The staff themselves are always nice, genuine, and willing to help, but once the restaurant gets even a little busy, they seem overwhelmed and clearly understaffed. Compared to the original Fullerton location, especially when more of the familiar OG staff were there, the service does not feel as polished or consistent. Our last visit was particularly disappointing. We ordered chicken karahi, chicken tikka masala, biryani, and bhel puri. The bhel puri was extremely dry with very little sauce and tasted poorly balanced. Nearly everything else, including the biryani, karahi, and tikka masala, was overly salty. The chicken karahi was the biggest disappointment. It is usually one of my go-to dishes at Khan Saab, but this time it barely tasted like karahi and was more like a generic curry. I understand this location does not offer boneless karahi, which is completely fine, but the flavor and quality should still be consistent. This location has so much potential because of the space and the Khan Saab name, but the consistency in both food and service just isn't there right now. I'll probably avoid this location for a while and hope ownership and Chef Ali Mookhi take notice and bring the standards back up.

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

STEPH JUDGEMENT: Great food in a pleasant atmosphere…read more The hubby and I came to meet up with another couple for a weekend lunch. When we got there at 11:30 it was quite empty, but by the time we left it was nearly full--a popular spot, and we could see why. We were rather pleasantly surprised at how upscale it looked in here--all cloth napkins, white tablecloths, and a recently renovated-looking interior with lots of dark wood. There were lots of options on their lunch special menu, which they even have on the weekends, and even more on their regular menu. I had the paneer tikka masala lunch special and the hubby had the saag paneer lunch special. All the lunch specials come with rice, salad greens, lentil soup, naan, a mini samosa (on attractive metal serving ware), along with self serve coffee and chai. At $16.95 as of this writing, we thought it was a great deal. The hubby and I shared our food and thought it was very good overall. I thought the saag was a touch too salty but it didn't mean I hated it. They do serve alcohol here, although we didn't imbibe on our visit. As for parking, they have a small front parking lot and a larger back lot (which we weren't aware of until our friends told us). If you want good Indian food with very attentive service in a slightly upscale setting, this is a good choice.

My friend loves this restaurant and wanted us to go for their Sunday buffet lunch. They have a…read moregood selection of Indian/Pakistani/halal food particularly beef nihari, paya and other halal specialties. They even have a grill making fresh kababs, racks of beef ribs and tandoori chicken. I didn't try the beef dishes. Overall it was a pleasant meal. Their vegetarian options like cauliflower with potato and daal were surprisingly good. I took seconds of those. The chicken biryani was decent. For those who like to experience food from the South Asian continent - this is a good place to start. Don't count on an elaborate array of other Indian vegetarian dishes - come if you are a meat lover.

We ordered behari kabab and chicken biriyani and both were big disappointments. The kabab was like…read moreboiled chicken, no flavor. The kabab masala was pretty bland and only covered the top layer of the chicken, the chicken was not well marinated in it. The biriyani also lacked flavor. Felt more like rice and chicken mixed together. Service was okay. Ambience is subpar, its like a big hall with a few tables. They do have ample parking thats a plus. Overall very disappointing, I dont think I would go back.

Again, since I'm a newbie my fellow foodies did the ordering and the first round we had the Masala Dosa, Thali Plate and the Dahi Puri with yogurt. This was definitely a flavorful start and I really enjoyed everything. Second order was the sweets and we had the Rose Purfi, Penda and the Jalebi. All of them were so good and we did have more items but too many to name. I can honestly say I've been missing out and I'm sure glad my fellow foodies took me on this delicious journey. So shout out to Jagruti and Ben. Service was, I don't know because I wasn't the one who ordered, LoL. And that's my take on this Indian spot, Peace out...

I really wanted to like Surati Farsan Mart, but after giving it a chance, I don't think I'll be…read morereturning. I waited almost 45 minutes for a $9 dosa, while person after a person who arrived after I did kept getting served. I mean, if someone's just sitting there, wouldn't you try to find out what was wrong instead of just letting them sit there? All of this was frustrating enough, but I had to be the one to go up to them, even though there was like a million people working what really bothered me was being repeatedly asked for my receipt. I honestly don't even think I got one. I understand asking once if there is some confusion about an order, but after I had been sitting there for that long waiting for food I had already paid for, continuing to ask me for proof of purchase felt incredibly uncomfortable. At a certain point, instead of repeatedly asking the customer for a receipt, someone should be checking on the order and figuring out why it hasn't come out. I just think that's bad customer service and bad business. It honestly made me feel dumb as fuck when they were the ones that messed up. Realistically, why would someone sit in a restaurant for almost 45 minutes pretending to have ordered a $9 dosa? On another note, I had ordered the Rasmalai and it was quite mediocre compared to Ambala Sweets and snacks. There also seemed to be plenty of employees working, so I couldn't understand why the order took as long as it did or why no one seemed to take ownership of figuring out what had happened. Unfortunately, although the dosa was amazing, it didn't redeem the experience or how I had been treated with zero importance as a customer. I can be very understanding about restaurants being busy and food taking longer than expected. What bothered me wasn't simply having to wait--it was waiting that long while repeatedly being asked to prove that I had actually ordered instead of someone taking the initiative to find out where my food was. When I told them that I could show them the credit card charge they said that it doesn't prove what I bought and I was like yeah bro I'm sitting here with Rasmalai and Coke and I'll show you the charge is more than that. Usually, I thank people on my way out, but I couldn't wait to get the fuck up out of there. Everything left a really bad impression, and I don't plan on returning to a business that treats me I like I ain't shit!!

The overall ambiance of the restaurant was also very nice too, a well designed interior. It's also not as packed, so my friend and I were able to sit down immediately.

Their fresh-made garlic naan and mango lassi paired great with the food. Would recommend coming, support local! 10/10

Wow, great lunch special and one of the best mapo tofu plates I've ever had!!!!!!!…read more Silken tofu cut perfectly, with some mala, a bit of tang, deliciousness and addictive numbingness in each bite. The perfect garlicky sauce, and such a generous portion for a lunch special. Their chicken and corn egg drop soup was delightful as well. It was piping hot, comforting, perfectly done. Their restaurant is impeccably clean and their sauce and seasonings come out per table, so those are spotless as well. I very much appreciate their detail here and their utensils were also spotless. It's so comforting to come here during a quick lunch for a fast and easy service, with a lovely lady up front offering exceptional kindness and hospitality. My food came out so quick! I will be back very soon and I'll have my friends and family with me. What a great spot!

Having lived in Beijing and eaten Uyghur-style food out in the streets and in established…read morerestaurants as I traveled around, I was unbelievably excited to find this restaurant near home. However, it left me wanting more. I do wonder about the plethora of high reviews, because from my standpoint of having had a lot of Uyghur-style food abroad and my husband who had never had any, this place disappointed in taste. Ambiance (3/5): It was large, brightly lit and clean, but being so empty, it felt kind of sterile in there due to the lack of air flow and a TV blaring Spanish infomercials. I think it would add to the mood if they played some light instrumental music. Service (3/5): There was one waitress the whole time we were there and other than taking our order, she didn't come by much. I had to go to her twice to ask for things, including asking about rice. It was weird that she let us order without letting us know that we had to order rice separately. Yes...unlike most Chinese restaurants that automatically serve complimentary rice with main course dishes, you have to order rice and it's charged per bowl. Yikes. Food (3/5): We ordered the spicy Sichuanese boiled fish, lamb skewers and popcorn chicken. Admittedly, the fish and chicken dish aren't very Uyghur, and for that, it's our fault. However, the fish just was not close to anything I've had elsewhere, and not in a good way. It wasn't that spicy and it didn't have that signature mala kick. It was also salty. This was probably the most disappointing. The popcorn chicken was called something else on the menu, but it was essentially a big order of what you'd get at a Taiwanese boba shop. My kids loved it but I questioned why we ordered boba shop food on a dish. If anything were to right the wrongs, I expected the lamb skewers to be perfect at the price for four and it being a major Uyghur specialty. While the smell of the spices was accurate, the chunks of lamb were dry and tough that even my husband who had zero expectations mentioned what I noticed. I'm giving this place 3 stars for it being a unique restaurant that tries, but at the price point and quality of food, we both didn't feel that it would be a place we would visit again. The empty restaurant during peak dinner hours might have been a hint. But if you have restrictions such as needing to eat Halal food, then this restaurant offers some different dishes, so that may be its huge plus.

She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her excellent service made our first visit even more enjoyable. The food was incredible! I ordered the Chicken Korma, and it was one of the best I've ever had. The sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with tender chicken in every bite. The meal came with fluffy basmati rice, warm fresh naan, flavorful chickpeas, yogurt, and pickled onions that complemented everything perfectly. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Indian cuisine with outstanding service, Curry Lounge is definitely worth a visit. We will absolutely be back and can't wait to try more of the menu. Thank you, Pawan, for making our first experience so memorable!
