    You’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

    1st 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!

    Total 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!

    Been 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!

    I never order, I just let the owner bring me what’s best. They also serve authentic Indian wine and beer.

    This place is well hidden, looks closed from the outside...you walk in, and you feel like you are in India...almost!

    Paru's has excellent dosas and expressive flavors. I recommend their hot pickle!

    While this family-run vegetarian restaurant is far from upscale dining, true Angelenos have always considered this an A. List spot - because if you haven’t been here, you’re just not that cool. Read more

    If 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!

    Food is very bland and under seasoned and did not taste authentic. Come here If you are looking for good ambience.

    Bland food without flavor (except for samosas which were good). Try somewhere else.
