Food and service was excellent. The chicken momo was so flavorful. I also recommend the mango lassi.

Amaravati Indian Restaurant

Staying in the area and came across Amaravati while browsing Google Maps (because I didn't want to…read moremove my car and lose a perfectly good parking spot). This was walking distance from the hotel. I stopped by Wednesday evening after the dinner rush. Was pleasantly greeted by a friendly gal. I mentioned I wanted to order takeout. They do have a very spacious dining room, but I wanted to get back to my hotel room before dark since I was walking. I had already pre-browsed their Yelp page for dinner ideas - so opted for an order of Butter Chicken (which comes with a side of rice), and an order of Garlic Naan. Requested the butter chicken to be mild (or "as mild as possible"). Wait wasn't too long, there was another order ahead of me. My takeout order was well packaged - everything in its own container/wrapper to ensure they stayed hot and fresh. The delicious aroma was tantalizing on my brief walk back to the hotel. Holy moly. I'm no expert on Indian food - but everything tasted amazing! The garlic naan was hands down the best garlic naan I've ever had. It was warm, fresh, crispy in all the right places, and tasted equally great on its own - as well as dipped into the rich and creamy butter chicken sauce. The side of rice is perfect for one person - and the butter chicken had generous cuts of tender, delicious chicken. Spice level still had a kick to it - but it was manageable. Prices are fair considering the area, and quality of the dishes. Friendly and attentive service! I'm honestly contemplating coming back on my last day in the area for another round of dinner - I'll probably opt for a mango lassi next time to help balance out the spice. Like seriously considering going back here tomorrow night. All the portions were perfect - not too overwhelming, and I finished every last drop - saved some sauce to enjoy my last layer of garlic naan. Honestly, if it wasn't so far away from "home" - Amaravati would be my favorite / go-to Indian food restaurant from here on out. Plenty of parking spots at the time I went - but the stalls are kinda tiny. Luckily, I'm staying nearby, so within walking distance and didn't have to worry about parking.

Yum! What a great find in this area!…read more All the items we ordered were delicious. The paneer tikka masala was flavorful and creamy, the chili chicken was spicy, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken wasn't tough or rubbery. The samosas were excellent and came with both styles of chutney. Our order also came with a small side of rice which we appreciated. My only critique would be that the garlic naan was a bit flat and bland, but the former could be because it just didn't transport well since we ordered takeout. Overall, would highly recommend this spot and it holds its own against some of the more established spots in Artesia, Long Beach, etc.!

Staff is super friendly & food tasted fresh, delicious, & - the best part - healthy! I tried the soup sampler trio & the mix & match taco trio. All were tasty! I truly struggled to pick a favorite of each. I also had the iced lemongrass Chai & the turmeric ginger immunity drink. They offered me a sample of the Chai before I ordered it which I thought was very nice. The only suggestion I would offer is to add more lime juice to the immunity drink has its turmeric heavy (obviously) but missing some tang from the lime. I was the only one dining in so the ambiance was pretty quiet & relaxed. There seemed to be a decent number of pick up/ to-go orders while I was there. Please support this small business stay open! I'm looking forward to going back & trying more items when I'm in the area.

Focused on healing the bodies through food is something everyone is needing more of. I have always been mindful of what i put into my body, and truly believe the art of healing ourselves through Whole Foods! Appus Tumeric Cafe checks all of those boxes, with Chefs VRs goal to educate and provide a place where people can enjoy great food with having no cost to their own long term health. I came in on a random Thursday to try it out for the first time and I was the only customer there. Greeted by the Chef and owner himself I was happy to share a conversation with him as he prepared my meal. Like in any new places I go to I tend to panic order and simply asked for his recommendations. I decided to go with the item that will be good for on the go as I needed to eat quickly before jumping to my next work call. I went with The Maharaja Burrito one of those items Cher VR recommended as well as the Yellow Lentil Soup. Along with the burrito came with a yellow curry sauce to also add more flavor to the burrito. Both dishes were fabulous! I truly enjoyed the flavors from both dishes, however I kind of wished I went with their garbanzo soup to add more spice to the overall meal. I will be back for sure to make my way through his menu as everything sounded delicious .

Very high end and fancy looking on the inside. Perfect for a date night. Excellent and fun customer…read moreservice. Also love that their restaurant has the tag "unauthentic Indian food" to it. Very intriguing and attention grabbing! Got us for sure! We did free street parking right in front and there were a couple other parties aside from us in the restaurant, but our food came out quite efficiently and we had more than enough for 2 people and we were able to take some home as leftovers to eat later. The bar area is GORGEOUS, the way they display their alcohol looks super glamorous. Perfect backdrop for photos, especially if you wanted like a Hollywood or Great Gatsby kind of thing. Actually, the booth seating was the tallest booth seating that I've ever sat at, which was neat in it's own way too. For our dinner, we got the: 1) Cali Chilli Powerhouse: -This is a zero proof drink. It's a milk blended almonds, pistachio, chia seeds, saffron and green cardamom. -Super rich smoothie like shake. Quite sweet and more of a dessert than anything, but if you like pistachio and almond, this is a very delicious drink. Very smooth and milky. Great to balance out the savory. 2) Pani Puri Poppers: -These are puffed puri bites and we got this half and half with charred chicken and potatoes. Underneath the puffed puri bites were shot glasses filled with mango and coconut, mint and cilantro, and yogurt and ginger dressing dressing. You pour the dressing into the bite and then shove it in your mouth and enjoy! -I've had something similar before at a different Indian restaurant, but I enjoyed it here much more. Dressings weren't overpoweringly sour like I've had at other places. Very refreshing dressings that went great with the protein/carb fillings. Love the crunch of the puff puri. My favorite was the mango coconut. I love the fruity sweetness with the savory. 3) Cali Chilli Pot Pie: -You get to choose your protein and we chose the lamb rogan josh as we got chicken for our other dish. -Comes out SUPER hot. Even towards the end of our meal, the dish was still steaming hot, but it's super unique and delicious. -The pie crust is mostly just the top of the dish and the rest is curry stew and protein below. Super tender lamb meat and flavorful curry. Nice kick, savory depth of flavor and spices. The pie bread part was moist, tender, top was flaky and delicious. A must. 4) Hariyali Chicken Boti Kebab: -This is part of their limited run Long Beach Food Scene Week menu. -It's a Tandoor (clay oven) combo meal made in an authentic tandoor, making the chicken smoky and slightly charred on the outside, and moist, juicy, and tender on the inside. -This dish comes with a choice of carb and salad, so we got the saffron ghee rice with the Cali Chilli Curry Sauce and the Citrus salad. -Delicious mint and yogurt taste to the chicken, both refreshingly sour and creamy, but herbal as well. There's a kick from the green chilies too, making it a great diverse dish of flavors and textures. I don't drink, so I can't really comment on the quality and taste, but the preparation for my boyfriend's drink was super cool. They used fire and poured it here and there. Truly a dinner and a show. The blue of the fire was super neat and great for videos and photos. Thank you for that! Will definitely come again.

I didn't feel the servers were attentive at all, and with it only being 2 other parties besides me and one coming in after I did, the service they got was much better than that of which I did. It was disappointing to say the least. I've long desired to try this spot and I was excited to do so, but I didn't feel the warm welcome that I noticed others receiving.. Again I did enjoy the food, but the experience wasn't at all enjoyable. frequently checked in with other tables, rarely checked in with me. Took 12\15 minutes to bring my drink, to the point it seemed as if it was forgotten, again there were only 2 other parties, and the one who came after me received food before I ever got a drink. had to look around and ask for service.

Seriously delicious, you'll be craving it again and again!…read moreThis was my first time at this location and we went pretty close to closing time so I wasn't expecting to get as many options for the combo plates but to my surprise, they were stocked up well. The restaurant was super clean and we were greeted as soon as we walked in with a warm welcome and smile. The staff was efficient and kind, not only did they greet everyone as they came in, they thanked every guest on their exit, as well. We got 2 combo plates, upgraded to garlic naan, and 2 piece of veggie samosas, everything was absolutely delicious, hot, fresh, and made with great attention to detail as it was seasoned to perfection. The veggie samosas were a little spicier than I anticipated but I thoroughly enjoyed them alongside my combo plate. I got chicken tikka masala (butter chicken) and black pepper chicken, my boyfriend got the chicken tikka masala and the chicken curry (which was sooo good, I wish I got some of my own - next time!) We'll be back, everything from the food to the service to the cleanliness of the restaurant: 10's across the board! Prices are great too!!

Flamin Curry is the only one of its kind on this side of time, and while I'm all for that, my…read moreexperience here was a little lackluster. I ordered the 2 item combo ($14) - saag paneer and chicken masala. The saag paneer was incredibly watery and came with one lonely piece of paneer. I did think the chicken tikka faired better. It had good flavor and you get a good amount of chicken, though I did think the chicken tasted a little dry. The best thing I tasted were the veggie samosas. You get 2 pieces for $6. Ours were cooked to order and tasted nice and fresh. Dipped in the mint chutney and this made for a great bite. For a take put situation that doesn't require a trip down the 91, Flamin Curry does its job. I'll have to come back to give it another go.
