    Chole Bhature

    Great place for authentic and decent Indian food. I had the Chole bhature and the chicken tikka wrap. I would recommend trying the chole bhature! It was fresh and amazing, good hospitality and service as well.

    The food here is always delicious if you like Indian, consistent and tasty! My favorite part is the fresh cooked Naan bread in their traditional cooking "barrels", neat to watch it being made. The prices seem a little high, but what restaurant doesn't these days. The staff are friendly, polite, and always provide excellent service.

    Great food, and prompt service. Highly recommend their light bites. Open till 11pm. Food was fresh too.

    Hot table walk up casual fast restaurant. Went here before a show at Pantages. Food was delicious. Service was what you expect at this type of restaurant. We'd go again! 3.5*

    I stumbled upon this place after work. Didn't have any expectations to begin with but it sure did beat them. The chicken tikka masala was pretty good, and it comes in a generous portion. I also had the veggie samosa. Try your pants and all your time ideal if you are in the heart of Hollywood and on the go and have to stop somewhere to eat.

    Decent Indian food. Good for combo dishes and you get a good amount for the price. I've mostly only done take out here.

The butter chicken, chicken tikka masala and "badass" chicken were standout dishes to me. The cocktails were just okay. I did not like the Delhi Nights cocktail. The service was friendly, yet he was very busy. The service was a little slow, so be mindful of that if you're in a rush. The place is downtown so parking can be difficult. And be mindful of your surroundings as the area can be sketchy at night. The restaurant itself is cozy with a small dining room downstairs and a handful of tables upstairs.

We had their Chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken with Basmati Rice and Naan. For starters, the food was amazing, and the service, too, was amazing. Both easily ranked at the top of what I've had. The pricing, however, is definitely steeper. Most Indian food spots serve complimentary naan or have rice included or at a small surcharge. Here, however, it's like $6... each. And this is on top of a price that is already above average. Outside of the nickel-and-dime pricing, the ambiance was nice and quiet. The water was also very tasty and served in a jar that was easy to refill, and our server took really good care of us.

    My friend got Indian food a few weeks ago so I felt inspired to get some too (or Pakistani food,…read morenot sure). Regardless, I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed it. I love how big the naan is that they give you. They make it fresh too. Even though I've tried a bunch of their skewers, this time I tried the fish karahi, which came with my choice of naan or rice. I chose naan. It was really good but it was a little too spicy for me. The cashier told me they could add yogurt the next time around. However, what really stood out is how the fish was cooked. I feel in American restaurants, fish is just cooked in a way that makes it just taste ok. However, at like Chinese restaurants, they really know how to make the fish taste amazing and have it be so plump and juicy. They make their fish like that here! The juicy and plump way where you're just like, "Wow I just want to keep eating this!" I also got a chicken roll too which is fried and crispy. Good appetizer. They also have water for free here too but I didn't see the dispenser so I just brought something from my car in. The ambiance is cozy here. Nice seating area. Worth visiting if you want really good LA Indian food and haven't been spoiled by extraordinary SF Indian food.

The seasoning and spices were on point. Great flavors, the right amount of heat, and something you can't really get elsewhere. My main issue was the quality of meat. Since this is supposed to be an affordable lunch spot, the meat was lower quality and really hindered the dishes. Too much fat, too much skin, too much gristle. I would love to see these spices on higher quality meat, that to me would be a 5/5.
