One of Curry Lounge's specialties, the Amritsari Kulcha with Chole is a popular North Indian dish…read more Often consumed for breakfast, Amritsari Kulcha is a stuffed unleavened flatbread, traditionally cooked in a tandoor oven. It consists of spiced mashed potatoes, paneer, yogurt, mixed vegetables & onions. Topped with a slathering of butter or ghee. Never served by itself, Amritsari Kulcha is paired with Chole (chickpea curry). For dipping, raita (yogurt) & tamarind chutney complete the meal. I've had Amritsari Kulcha at many establishments in Little India, and Curry Lounge does it the best! An order is large and a generous amount of food, that'll keep you full for the rest of the day. Regarding the remodel, the restaurant is now more spacious and accommodating for more guests. The murals on the walls & decorations add to the appeal. I've been a regular at Curry Lounge, since they opened, and will continue to be so. Highly recommend!

This spot keeps proving why it's a go-to. Will definitely be back.

Ordering can be on the phone after scanning a QR code or through a physical kiosk. I ordered the Non-Veg Lunch Special which comes with rice, naan, two meat entrees, and a side salad. The highlight of my meal was the naan, which was amazingly fresh and buttery. I got the curry chicken and tikka masala which also did not disappoint. All in all a great experience for a quick meal that was able to satisfy my cravings.

Kamal always created a welcoming atmosphere, and there was also a lady in the back who was excellent with customer service (I think she still answers the phone). Unfortunately, the experience has changed recently. The person currently at the front seems disengaged and lacks basic customer service. No greeting when you walk in, no acknowledgment after payment, and no effort to check if customers need anything like water or napkins. It's a noticeable drop from how things used to be. The food is still good, which is why I continue to come back, but even that seems a bit inconsistent now. The mango lassi I had today were more watery than usual. I'll likely still visit, but it's disappointing to see a place that was once so welcoming lose that touch.

So sad this place is gone. Now it's some tacky, low energy restaurant. Really sad!!!…read more The new place had dull vibes walking in, felt like a cafeteria with mismatched plastic water bottles and pre-packaged lassi...it felt like a knock off Yantra...clearly riding off the prestige on Google and Yelp! Most importantly the menu and people trying to wait on us had next to nil for people skills. Even after pointing out what I wanted they still selected the wrong things... Wife and I spent about a year visiting artesia to get wedding garments for us and our respective wedding parties...and this was always our first stop! Shout out to the Yantra owner, Raj, and the hostess who always worked with Raj! Again, so sad to see it go...after becoming regulars...

We ordered mango margaritas and the Mango Passion Fruit Lassi. Both were phenomenally crafted. To eat, we ordered the cheese & jalapeño kulcha, saffron rice (side), Cali Chilli Pot Pie, and the Tandoori Sea Bass. My soul left my body as soon as I bit into the sea bass. I'm someone who rarely savors my food, but I genuinely felt sad that I was on my last bite. All other dishes we ordered were perfect. The sea bass; however, stole the show. Shout out to the chef Mandrpal! We were recommended the lobster and short ribs for our next visit.

Food Butter chicken…read morepot pie - A must order. An elevated butter chicken with buttery puff pastry. You won't need naan. However, absolutely get it with rice, it worked perfectly. 4.6 without rice 4.8 with rice. Lamb vindaloo - An excellent waiter recommended dish that is just a tad underseasoned. Tender lamb shank with a great curry and wedge potatoes. Didn't have a chance to try it with rice. 4.6/5 Saffron rice - As just mentioned, this rice is excellent. A bit underseasoned by itself but with a protein it's excellent. 4.5/5 Kebab - I forgot which I got, but it was a solid dish. I liked the cook and grilled fruits it came with. Spicy mint chuntey was a nice addition. 4.5/5 Pan puri - This is a gimmicky app that is fine to try once. 4.2/5 Truffle chicken - Boneless thigh wings that are creamy and excellent with rice. Just a tad underseasoned. 4.3/5 without rice. 4.6/5 with rice. Chai tiramisu - It sounds a lot better than it is. 4/5 Lava cake - Waiter recommended and a hit. An excellent dessert. The ice cream seemed generic/not in-house though. 4.7/5. With homemade ice cream this could be a 4.9.

Great food quality for the price - their lunch pricing at $21.99 is quite a deal. Dinner at $28.99…read moreis also great too. In addition, at dinner only, each person can order one lamb shank - just this piece of meat alone is worth your $28.99 visit. The restaurant food section is maintained very cleanly, food is beautifully displayed for a self-serve buffet restaurant. Plenty of seating area with ability to accommodate larger parties, and feels family friendly. The only shortcoming they have is that their fruit section tastes consistently unappealing, and some of the desserts don't tastes too great either. But at least their main dishes taste good. Regardless, this is a regular lunch spot frequented, and would bring friends over for dinner here, if they ever feel like Mediterranean.

As a buffet, I consider Dimassi's in Cerritos a game changer. This is a Mediterranean themed…read morebuffet that's only $22 before 4pm on Monday through Friday. For dinner on the weekdays it's only a few dollars more ($29). On weekends it's $33 all day. I mention the price because I consider it a no-brainer for a weekday lunch. I agree with the criticism that the protein options can be limited. You aren't going to be getting filet mignon kabobs for lunch. But their chicken options, their fried fish filet, and their gyro meat is not bad. If you are looking for the premium kabobs, there are many Mediterranean options in the area that you can get that. What makes this place truly worth it are their delicious salad options, their warm, house made pita bread, their abundant options of spreads (hummus, baba ghanoush, garlic sauce). The multiple options for mediterranean salads are really what I crave from here. For $22, if I can have a multi course meal featuring 4-5 types of refreshing salads, fish filet, warm pita with hummus, a gyro (assembled on your own with their ingredients), a soft drink, and baklava. Considering the fact that I spend $16 on a combo meal at Carl's Jr or a salad wrap at Sweetgreen, this is truly a no brainer. If you do come here for dinner ($29-33), know that you can special order their braised lamb shank. I like to eat this with the pita bread, some roasted veggies, and one of their delicious spreads, but you do what you like.
