Eric Lee LopezAugust 20, 2014Holy smokes, this place is delicious. The service is above par and the food is of course awesome. If you havent been there, ask what to get, they will point to the right side of the menu, amazing!- Alexandra E.August 7, 2014A casual atmosphere & modern yet traditional menu. It feels open, with high ceilings and two stories. Bollywood movies are projected onto a curved white wall which gives unique dimension to the space.
Chez StockSeptember 12, 2017Get a samosa-stupidly good. I wanted to try everything on the menu but split naan, coconut curry mussels & the poutine with a friend. Waaay more food that we anticipated and everything was amazing.
Nick CampbellAugust 6, 2014Coming here will sometimes make you ponder the price of food. With 2 people, you'll usually leave satisfied with 1 Street Food, 1 Traditional, and 1-2 specialty dishes. The pork belly is a red herring
Katherine M.December 24, 2016Chef Pawan and his sons interpret homecooked Indian cuisine through impeccable culinary training. Each dish presents a specific combination of spices and flavors, with no redundancy on the menu.
VarunMarch 20, 2018Fried butter chicken sandwich on the secret menu is awesome! Ghost Chilli lamb vindaloo is amazing if you like spicy food and pair it with the Chilli cheese Naan!- Went to the lunch "soft opening" today and shared the chicken tikka masala & channa masala bowls. Delicious! If I didn't have to go back to work, I would have tried one of the craft beers available.
Phil TorontoApril 30, 2017Excellent! Standouts for me were the spiced lamb burger, chicken tikka poutine & ghost chili lamb vindaloo
J.d. MareshSeptember 6, 2013Share and share a like - Masala fries. Short rib samosas. Pork belly anything. And really great wine and beer list. Get lost with that Ghost chili lamb vindaloo.
Come with a group of 4 people or more so you can sample all the dishes. Well thought out menu and space. Also best cutting chai tea if had in a long time. Cheers.
Great ambience and food! Authentic (Channa Masala, Chicken Tikka Masala) and fusion (Spicy Lamb Burger, Chili Cheese Naan). Wish it was on the Westside.
JTAugust 29, 2016The chicken poutine is an interesting fusion food. Chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The samosa was also amazing. Wasn't too impressed with the naan
Archer PorterDecember 17, 2016The butter chicken is really good, and the sweet and sour pumpkin is v flavorful! Portions are small, so order more than you think you might need.
Shobhit BaadkarMay 18, 2013You can't go wrong with the lamb burger, chicken samosas, or masala fries. Don't forget to wash it down with the Thumbs Up!
SandeepFebruary 9, 2014The badass chicken tikka is delectable! The papdi chat is simple but satisfying. Cutting chai is aromatic with cloves...and the fish fry just melts in your mouth!
Starry KitchenDecember 3, 2013If you want a quick-ass AND super delicious-ass lunch... And FAST! THE "Lunch in a Mumbai Minute" actually does come out faaaaaaaaaaaast- Pork Belly and Tikka Poutine Fries. Thank me later. Don't forget the Cutting Chai!!
An original concept, great space, awesome staff and delicious food. Great to see an inspired restaurant with heart.
John CassilloJune 6, 2017Try out the Chicken Tikka Poutine! It's a cool fusion Indian place, and good for lunch.- Anthony DeVriesMarch 31, 2015The pork belly, poutine, and butter are all amazing. Don't forget to ask about the rosemary naan.
Lawrence HuynhJuly 14, 2013Best to make reservations! The poutine and spiced lamb burger is a must have!
Serious EatsOctober 6, 2013This Downtown LA Indian joint is a family affair that serves a lamb burger worthy of their legacy.
- Butter chicken, short rib samosas, and lamb vindaloo. Careful with the vindaloo, it's very spicy.
Chris LedermullerJuly 24, 2013This is the Dine LA lunch menu for summer 2013. Three courses for $15.
Azad Amir-GhassemiApril 1, 2018Trendy... Go for the fusion dishes. It's expensive, but one of the only Indian options in downtown.
Dianna KAugust 24, 2015decent vegan option- had the channa marsala but weird decor and atmosphere, good beer selection. liked the bubble yum at the the end.
Ashley RudolphMay 3, 2015This is good, very good.get the poutine, the naan, and the chicken tikka masala.- Chicken Tikka Poutine and a chai tea on the side is exquisite
They accommodate vegans!!! And don't forget to drink their chai. So damn good.
Heidi NgJune 27, 2013Chili cheese naan with short rib and butter chicken and pork belly .. Omjizzly bomb!!
Jagannath DasOctober 15, 2013This place has the best lamb burger and you could try the chicken tikka masala here.
Shen DeshayneJune 14, 2013Cleanest Indian restaurant I've been too. Portions a little small but tasty.
Trevor SchoenfeldAugust 8, 2014A little expensive but quality mash of traditional Indian cuisine and bar food.
