Lucky PeachJanuary 12, 2017You’ll feel warm and welcome immediately. The food is delicious too— it’s simple vegetarian Indian food that is incredibly tasty and thoughtful. They’ve been doing it right since the 1970s. Read more
Ellyn McNamaraOctober 22, 20141st place I ever had dosas. Food is delicious. The devotional aspect of the restaurant makes me feel surrounded by love. Pictures of saints abound. I haven't been there in 8 years but I never forgot!
Sonia KazarovaJune 26, 2012Total vegetarian bliss. Atmosphere inside is lion the witch and the wardrobe -go to India-esque. They will always remember your name when you return even if it's been a year!
Abhilash PatelJune 27, 2010Been coming here for 25yrs since I was a child. The Masala Dosas are as close as you'll get to real south Indian food in LA. Totally worth the trip!- This place is awesome...cute patio and delicious vegetarian food! Don't let the outside door and buzzer scare you away, it's very cute inside
- Anthony NguyenAugust 18, 2016I never order, I just let the owner bring me what’s best. They also serve authentic Indian wine and beer.
- Danielle NeufeldMay 23, 2011Excellent food; love the combos, curries, dosas, and paratha. Great experiences here with dine in and take out. The people who work here are incredibly nice too!

Davaish SinghApril 10, 2012get the idle its well made and extra chutney and tamarind sauce on everything
Abhi~IPApril 3, 2012This place is well hidden, looks closed from the outside...you walk in, and you feel like you are in India...almost!
Karl HobartNovember 8, 2010Paru's has excellent dosas and expressive flavors. I recommend their hot pickle!
Looks scary from the outside but really nice inside. Had very delicious food at a good price and great staff!

Venkat RadhakrishnanMarch 7, 2015Looks super shady! Need to ring a Bell to gain access. Food is decent.
Srini SrisailanJune 7, 2013If you are a South Indian, run away from this. I was totally deceived by the previous comments. Definitely left a bad taste. Dosas, Idlis, Vadas - pathetic!
Karthik RajFebruary 19, 2016Food is very bland and under seasoned and did not taste authentic. Come here If you are looking for good ambience.
Pushpa GowdaSeptember 21, 2013Bland food without flavor (except for samosas which were good). Try somewhere else.
