ℳ𝒶𝓎♍February 15, 2016The restaurant is large & brightly lit with ample booth seating lined throughout the walls, as well as tables in the center of the dining hall for larger crowds. Service is the friendliest you can get- Rithwik HariNovember 29, 2017Fantastic selection of Kerala food, one of the only such restaurants in Southern California. The beef fry and Kerala paratha make a killer combination. The chicken roast and chicken 65 also rock!
- ℳ𝒶𝓎♍February 15, 2016Mayura is South-Indian and specializes in Keralan style dishes, known for their signature creations such as dosas and various vegetarian 'Thali' ensembles. Vegan heaven as well as for those who aren't
Ashwin KumarSeptember 19, 2016Chicken curry and parota! Also try the hyderabadi dum biryani. This place also has a lot of Kerala food and South Indian food which you can try. They all look yum! And the prices are good too.
Arul Prasad M LFebruary 11, 2017They have a lot of good South Indian food, making picking something from the menu a very difficult task: which is why I love the lunch buffet. You get to eat a little of (almost) everything!
Los Angeles TimesAugust 3, 2014Mayura, just a block from the studios in Culver City, is the only place in the Los Angeles area to specialize in the complex cooking of Kerala, a largely vegetarian region on India's south coast. Read more
Stephanie SzetoDecember 27, 2017Go for the all-you-can-eat lunch buffet. It's South Indian Kerala food from India's spiciest culinary region. Their sauces pack a delightful punch.
- ℳ𝒶𝓎♍February 15, 2016Mayura has a casual atmosphere that is neither cafeteria-style nor sit-down and table cloths. I like the feeling that you're not paying for decor, yet it still has dignity
Justin OrdovezaNovember 7, 2022The only restaurant in Southern California that serves Indian food from the state of Kerala. Order the house specials. It’s a on Jonathan Gold’s suggested list. Parking lot is tiny.- Glarence ZhaoJanuary 19, 2015The chicken tikka masala was great and so was the garlic naan. Everything was great actually although the mango lassi was a bit warmer than I liked
John CassilloApril 15, 2020Excellent buffet, and a fantastic place to grab lunch. Some of the best Indian food I’ve had on the Westside.- Glarence ZhaoJanuary 19, 2015Chicken tikka masala and the garlic naan were great, everything was great actually although the mango lassi was a bit warmer than I liked
Appam & Egg Curry - WOW!! I don't know when was the last time I had such an awesome Appam. Leaving with a happy tummy! :)
Ricky SherrillFebruary 22, 2017How did this place miss my radar? Great food that Is full of flavor and spices. I am now planning on being a regular.
ᴡ VetradyJuly 8, 2013If I could I would drive from Phoenix to eat here. Love the attitude and importance they give to customer satisfaction.- Sagar S. KadookkunnanMay 25, 2014Mayura has the best appam and egg curry in town. It was little crowded today, but had awesome food.
- It's all about the Dosas and Uthappams!!! Order the Mauyra special with the Idly and Vada!
Give the Paneer Bhurji dosa a try if you're a fan of paneer.
Jake MitchellAugust 28, 2012Skip the typical dishes you see on every Indian Restaurant menu and try one of the dosas or pancakes.
Midtown Lunch LAMarch 16, 2012On Friday they have Indo-Chinese dishes on the buffet. Manchurian cauliflower is pretty great.
Try the appam with egg curry. Authentic kerala cuisine
