"Order from here. The food is amazing and the prices are ridiculous low for how much food they give and the quality. I ordered a few things cause half the stuff they had ive never seen at any of the other indian places ive eaten. The samosas were stuffed with fluffy flavorful potatoes and bigger than i anticipated considering the price, crisp on the outside and perfectly seasoned on the inside. Ive never heard of Dahi Vada Papri but damn was that delicious. Had so many flavors and textures but they all worked well together. The curry was phenomenal and I was pleased that even though I didnt know what curry I was getting they were both delicious and filling! The mango lassi was sweet and refreshing and I was shocked at how much food I got with the Combo #3 considering the price. Lastly the dessert I got was the Ras Malai (1 pc) which was another dish ive never had before but i am hooked, was a spongey cheese that soaked up all the sweet and spiced milk that was so delicious! I will say if you aren't a more adventurous eater dont get it the texture may be off putting for some but I loved it and the flavors made it worth the initial wariness I had with the texture. Overall this place is a 100/10 I definitely recommend. "
"amazing, I loved Combo #2 both curries (the stewed potato and cauliflower and the tofu paneer). will def rec and order again myself, I love the idea of the rose Rose Lassi , the Veggie Burger was the first thing to go with the yoghurt sauce! hearty"

"Food is delicious as always. The Curry Thali entree seems to have increased in price but the amount of food has decreased. LOVE the Butter Chicken and their Mint Chutney is to die for."
"to be clear, both the chicken Vindaloo and the spicy chicken Spicy Chicken Wings *New* were good. Not great. The vindaloo had two pieces of potato in it. But for what you pay, the quantity, especially on the entree, is very small. The vindaloo had maybe two/three pieces of potato in it. and the naan was over cooked to a crisp. It could at least come with rice. I'll pass going forward."

"Bravo the Rack Of Lamb (Rice Included) was so delicious that I even ate some of the fatty parts thank you to Indian restaurant for making it so delicious and last but-not least the Butter Chapati Tandoori (Roti) was on the spot fine bread went well with the sauce on the side. "
"Disgusting. The Ras Malai tastes like white bread soaked in 2% milk that was too thin, yuck. There was nothing "royal" about their Lamb Shahi Korma - 6 cubes of boneless meat chunks that is very apparent it wasn't cooked together."

"Overall good was great. I absolutely love the Spinach Aloo. Please be warned though, when you order the Vegetable Biryani Rice at medium heat, it is EXTREMELY spicy. However, it still was delicious. Also, we were disappointed as the Tofu Masala had about 6 pieces of tofu in it with the rest being sauce. Overall, I would order again, but with a few modifications."
"We ordered food around 1:30 AM on Sunday The portion was very generous The quality of the food was like as fresh as morning kitchen cooking.. absolutely flavorfull  We ordered the Vegan Vegetable Samosas too, and you can tell the oil it was made in was very clean and fresh.. Literally absolute favorite vegan Indian restaurant .. if this is the quality of such a time? then can you imagine what it's like if you just ordered it when they just opened?  I thought I would leave a comment because I love to support good business and encourage them to grow :)"

"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."

"I LOVE authentic Indian food and thought I'd give this place a try!! I ordered the 46. Vegetable Tikka Masala with 62. Plain Rice and 70. Garlic Naan. Despite having the food delivered one city over, the food was hot which was a huge plus! Naan tasted good and worth trying. But I'm not sure it's made from scratch like another place I go to in Culver City. The 46. Vegetable Tikka Masala was good but slightly thicker and sweeter than I would have liked. But a little salt helped bring out the flavor! I ordered it Medium spicy which gives it a good kick! So I'm glad I didn't order it any spicier. Just seems like there were certain flavors that were possibly missing (for me). But it accompanied my 62. Plain Rice nicely. The dish just tasted a bit more "Americanized" than I would have liked. Although this place didn't quite make the 5-star mark (for me), it's still a solid place. Food was still pretty good, and I'd likely order here again. Everything was also professionally packaged and I feel like they put a lot of love in their cooking!"
"The 42. Lamb Bhuna Curry and 30. Coconut Chicken Chettinad we're absolutely delectable! Great flavors, great portions! Oh, and the 60. Gobi was an excellent side dish - so flavorful! We will definitely order from here again :)"

"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. "
"With the 30% off deal the Paneer Masala is by far the best quality and taste for money, same for the Cheese Garlic Naan...ordered twice, both great, and super affordable. For once a mistake went my way and I got everything as ordered plus free rice (which I didn't add for the extra fee but will happily eat anyway!) Aditionally, even though the restaurant is far from me, the Dasher Adam was communicative and the food still hot after an hour. 5 stars all around."

"The best Dal Tarka in Los Angeles I've found so far. Great price, it tastes EXCELLENT, great texture, mostly creamy not too watery but enough to keep the Daal fresh throughout the week. But most importantly I hate onions, but in this Daal it's cooked PERFECTLY. literally melts in my mouth rather than being chunky crunchy pieces of onion. Please keep it up"

"Okay the Chicken Tikka Masala was amazing I ordered medium it def had a good kick to it. I love spicy and it was spot on. I have a high tolerance ad this was pretty spicy and it was not overwhelming either! I very creamy and thick curry! I havent had good food like this in San Diego! This is like San Francisco quality! The Saag Dal (Vegan) was also delicious ! The Chicken Samosa was 10/10 in quality and freshness . For something being deep fried felt especially light. "
"Best Saag Dal I have had. Never been to India but have eaten from at least 50 Indian restaurants her in the United States and in Western Europe. Best Saag Dal so far!! And I havent tasted their Saag Paneer yet although I have an order of it sitting in front of me (I'm full after the Dal!). Large portion sizes and huge naan bread are more reason to eat here."

"Absolutely love ordering Bangladeshi food on DoorDash! The flavors are so authentic and delicious – the biryanis are aromatic and perfectly spiced, with tender meat and fluffy rice that remind me of home-cooked meals. The curries are rich, flavorful, and just the right level of spice, and portions are generous every time. Super convenient delivery, food arrives hot and fresh, and it’s made me discover some amazing local spots I wouldn’t have tried otherwise. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Bangladeshi cuisine – it’s become my go-to comfort food! better than aladdin..prices are so much cheaper than aladdin restaurant.."
"I ordered chicken biryani and a bottle of water, but the water was missing. The “biryani” did not look like biryani at all—it looked like plain pulaw rice with a few small pieces of chicken from curry. If biryani was unavailable, the restaurant should have called me before sending a substitute, but they did not. This is not good customer service. The chicken also tasted very old, like it had been cooked and stored for a long time. I ended up throwing the entire meal away. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience, and the restaurant should improve its food quality and customer service."
