"Delicious, fresh, generous portions and a huge selection of vegetarian and vegan dishes.
Navratan Korma is phenomenal. Literally chock full of veg and some fruits in a silky, nutty Korma sauce. Do not miss.
Mango Lassi is perfection. Tart-sweet smooth. Cannot get enough.
Garlic Naan is outstanding. Goes with everything.
Cheese Naan was an unexpected delight. Perfect accompaniment to Korma and tomato-based sauces.
"
"Overall I've been very happy with this place and recommend. My only complaint is that there's been inconsistent quality with the Naan. It used to always be large and fluffy, lately it's more often smaller and smashed/deflated. The Chettinad Chicken is excellent and a bit spicier than the Chicken Tikka Masala."

Fitoor's food is so delicious. It's better than many restaurants I'vetried in India. The truffle mushroom kulcha, the paneer lababdar with the Malabar roti were terrific. We just couldn't stop eating.
Definitely going to be our go to place for North Indian food. And we are going to try out their dine in experience soon. Their pickled onion and a crushed dip on the side was epic with the Kasundi Paneer Tikka.
Wish they had a paneer biryani too."

Absolutely delicious! India’s Tandoori Hollywood has some of the best Indian food I’ve ordered in LA. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and flavorful, the Tandoori Chicken was perfectly cooked, and the Garlic Naan arrived fresh and soft. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and authentic.
The portions were generous, the packaging was excellent, and my DoorDash order arrived hot and in great condition. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients.
Definitely one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Hollywood. Highly recommended — I’ll absolutely order again! 🔥🍛"
"Smelt so good when I opened the bag!!! You know the rice is good enough for 2 people! ($5 rice!!) naan was so heavenly, buttery and soft! I asked for spicy (and I love spicy) and the spice is no joke! Delicious, I will be ordering again. P.S. I asked for utensils & condiments and only received condiments, no napkins or utensils, keep that in mind if you are in an office. "

"We have tried many different Indian food delivery options and are always left feeling disappointed in the quality or flavor. But this place is amazing and will be our new standby. Everything was delicious! Their naan and curries really stand out. The only miss were the pickled carrots. Although the flavor was good, I missed the traditional veggies used in the pickle mix for Indian food. Also note that even their "mild" option is quite spicy. The food was the best Indian we've had in LA in many years!"
"An Indian friend said Try Anarbargh; it's the best place for Indian food Unfortunately wrong. They put peas in the eggplant, the okra is drowned by tomato, and the food was all vaguely sweet (even the eggplant, which I ordered medium, and it came with a respectable spice level). The masala chai is the world's biggest ripoff( $7 for 6 ounces?), and the mango lassi was fine. Not great. Ditto the chutneys. The raita was tasty. Maybe I should try other things next time but, overall, quite disappointing."

"Delicious food. Butter Chicken A la carte is excellently spiced and cooked perfectly. Chicken Samosa BoGo or any of the samosas are always a go-to, same as the Garlic Naan. Giving 4 stars only because I wish the food was a bit cheaper, $18 for ~1 chicken breast in butter sauce with no sides is a bit steep IMO. And FYI- If you find Tabasco sauce unbearable, do NOT order the 'Hot' spice level. "
"Dinner Special for 2-4 guests option was plenty of food. It really would feed 2-4 people as stated. I'm happy to have leftovers. I got chicken Tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and aloo gobi, with 2 veggie samosas. The samosa filling was mushy, but flavorful, and the wrap was the perfect consistency. The main dishes were flavored well and the meats were tender. I especially enjoyed the vindaloo. The "hot" level of spicy was enough, but not overpowering, though I will probably get medium next time. The Fresh Mint Chutney was tasty and delightful."

"Flavor was great, quality was good, serving size was small. Ordered three types of kebabs Seekh Kabab, Boti Kabab, Chicken Tikka Kabab, and there were barely 2.5-3oz of meat in each. Also ordered Lamb Saag, Nihari Beef (Chutney's Special), and Butter Chicken (Chutney's Special). All were good, just beware the Butter Chicken (Chutney's Special) doesn't allow you to select a spice level, but it has the tiniest bit of heat that little kids may not tolerate. The Garlic Naan and the Plain Tandoori Naan was good and our meal overall was delicious; but wish the kabab portions were larger."

"My hands down FAVORITE Indian restaurant in LA. I've tried Indian all over the world and this place has my heart. The spicy chana masala and the veggie pakora are spectacular. I bring all of my friend here. "
"I tried the rice Rice Pudding, Rasmalai and Gulab Jamun. The portion sizes were TINY and I mean TINY for $5 a pop. Absolute scam.
Secondly, none of it tasted fresh or house made, particularly the ras malai which tasted like Nanak brand. I was also particularly surprised the Gulab Jamun tasted old and they didn't bother to serve it warm.
I don't recommend the deserts. "

"This is the greatest restaurant, the South Indian food items that they have reminds me of home, fantastic"
"I usually don’t write reviews, but compelled to do so, so others don’t waste money like I did. I ordered the (majestic) Non-Veg Carnival Thali based on what I saw on the pic (posted). Was disappointed to receive probably 1/4th of that. The items that were included are not a part of a traditional thali. There was one chicken curry which had no salt. The “poriyal” was not cooked at all. This was definitely not worth 26 dollars.
Crispy Butter Masala Dosa was okay. Again i expected atleast 2 types of chutneys for the price i paid, but all i got was just one and salt-less sambhar.

"They have been located in the same location since the early 90s, oppo yoytqttt/and yes the portions have gotten smaller but seriously it's a sign of Commerce,in this economy and its everywhere you go, the food is still awesome period the best Indian fare in LA, the flavour profile of each and every dish they serve is Spot on Proper and puts any I'm other Indian restaurant to shame Periid,
They always compensate my standing Lust for extreme Scoville GOAN Vindaloo,
I literally Sweat and they have been doing it since the 90s when I resided in that area, Brick Lane Curry House in Brooklyn, New York which offers the hottest Curry in America, I've done the dish 5 times and it's not comparable to Indian's Grill,
It's Heavy on the Cinnamon over powered bythe
So be objective and indulge in the various Items they have served, Consistently since the 90s I recently came across a menu of there's in some long stored paperwork from the 90s and the yes back then The servings provided were Two (2) days of happy eating,
The most expensive Item available was Shrimp and it was $11.95 back then,
.
This place will make you never want to eat @ any other Indian Establishment even in Areteshia because of the Detailed Flavor Profile of every Dish being Proper. I have been satisfied since 1996z! and will Chu continue to eat There. "
"Flavor Flavor Flavor, Spot on PROPER the thickness of the Chicken Chícken Vindaloo Ala Carte is truly an example other Indian fare establishments should strive for in their pultry watered down offerings. A layered Flavorful spice profile is the go-to standard from this establishment and has been consistently adhered to since 1997 Plenty of chicken, potatoes, and tomatoes. The Chana Masala Perfection correct Flavor Profile the Sambar Soup was Refreshing and tasty Basmati Rice Fluffy and Properly Prepared The Garlic Basil Naan Flavorful.

"The best Indian food. Hands down. I can't even order anywhere else - Badmaash has me hooked. My favorites: Goan Pork Curry, Chicken Tikka, the butter chicken and daal! Absolutely love all their desserts especially the chocolate pot du creme! I dream of it. "
"I ordered the chicken Biriyani. I'll tell you it's not cheap. It's $40 when you can probably find the best buriyani for somewhere around $20. May be $25 if the meat is exotic. Having heard great things about Badmash I decided to splurge $40 to only find that it was completely flavorless (75%) of it is plain white rice with some chicken curry (very little) burried inside. I would not pay 14 bucks for this, forget 40. So if you decide to order this, please keep this in mind."

"The food quality was good, but everything felt overseasoned yet not really flavorful. The naan and paratha were pretty dry and dense. Also a $30 curry doesn't even come with rice?!? At least the chicken in the korma was moist and tender. I really wanted to like this but it was quite the disappointment. :("

However, it could have been filled a little more. The Mango Lassi was refreshing. If you love mango, you will love the drink. Included silverware would have been convenient."
