"Ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala Lunch Special it was great flavor but could use more chicken. Came with more rice than protein but it did have a side of something with chickpeas that was pretty good also."

"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."

"I always get the Mango Lassi and Vegetable 2. Vegetable Samosa when I want a treat. I’ve had their main curry dishes too, which are superb!
I love how fresh everything tastes and you can really tell they put care into the quality of the food. The vegetable samosas are huge, crispy on the outside, and filled with soft, fluffy, warm potatoes and peas.
The Mango Lassi is also delicious. The yogurt makes it cold, creamy, and refreshing.
I’ve been coming here for 3–4 years and would definitely order again!"

"Best Indian food in town! We are vegetarian and I'm picky about Indian food outside as we cook a lot of it at home and are looking for the most delicious flavors and not the same monotony.
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."

"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 had the Chicken Tikka Masala Combo, Chicken Tandoori and Eggplant Masala. The tandoori was delicious and had great flavor. The chicken tikka was very different from the majority of other chicken masala dishes I have had, but it was very unique and satisfying. It took a bit of adjusting but I enjoyed it more and more as I ate. I have a feeling this place has great traditional recipes! Great quantity for the price as well. "

Definitely one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Hollywood. Highly recommended — I’ll absolutely order again! 🔥🍛"

"Strongly recommend this location!! Incredible value with a generous owner who gives so much extra food compared to what you could get at other places. Other locations will charge you for rice, while his portions include generous portions of rice, and a large amount for the Lamb Biryani. On top of that, he provided an extra dessert!

The “poriyal” was not cooked at all. This was definitely not worth 26 dollars.

"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.

"If you’re craving authentic Indian flavors, this place is definitely worth a visit! The Tandoori Paratha was fresh, crispy on the outside, and soft inside with amazing flavor. Don’t miss the Tawa Paratha either it’s delicious and a must-try. Everything was served hot, and the taste felt just like homemade. I've tried every food from the menu and all of them are really good.Highly recommended for anyone looking for satisfying Indian food!"
"Everything was amazing. I've ordered from here before and I'll keep doing so lol. Everything was freshly made and still hot when it arrived. Definitely large enough portions for my bestie and I to eat until we were full and still have enough leftovers to eat the next day.
Only downside was that the Iced Tea was Unsweetened and neither of us like unsweetened iced tea so we had to sweeten it ourselves xD
But the: Lamb Curry Lamb Biryani Lamb Korma Chicken Biryani Garlic Naan and Mango Lassi were all perfect."

"Awadhi Lamb Biryani was the best biryani I have had!! Amazing 😍"
"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. :("

"This place is amazing. Their vegetarian soup is one of the most delicious soups I've ever had. And the veggie biryani was also super good. "
"Awesome vegan indian food.
When ordered via Doordash, this restaurant reads the 'special instructions'. They pay attention to your order, which is rare and therefore, highly appreciated.
I wasn't a fan of the sambar soup, but this isn't something I ordered, it came with the meal.
The Masala Dosa was good, but a bit dry.

"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."
"Ok that was unexpectedly amazing !!!! I was craving Indian food late night, and I'm vegan, and found this new place I've never seen before on DoorDash, so I tried it out & I swear this is the best Tofu Vindaloo (Vegan) I've ever had, and I eat at a lot of Indian restaurants in Los Angeles. This was extra special. Order the Tofu Vindaloo (Vegan) Extra Spicy & you'll see what I mean. A ++++ I will definitely be ordering from them again, probably tomorrow :)"

"Superb! The Yellow Dal was so flavorful, a deep rich flavor.
I adore the Paratha and Garlic Naan. Not overwhelming of garlic, but subtle. The Paratha was flaky and earthy, my favorite, exactly as I had hoped for.
The Saag Paneer was delicious, flavorful and well seasoned.
Everything was so well prepared and delicious!
I'm so happy to have ordered here. Reasonably priced and large portions. I will be ordering again soon! ❤️❤️❤️"
"Ugh, if I could eat here every day, I would. Never disappoints. Whatever I order is always delicious!

"Really love their chicken tikka masala, vegetable biryani, aloo gobi, and garlic naan. Delicious, spicy, and decent portions. Consistently amazing "
"Everything here is delicious and it's genuinely one of my fave takeout places anywhere in LA. Super vegan friendly too!
Nirvana is my go-to because it's creamy,well balanced, and tomatoey without being too sweet.
Saag has a nice balance of spice that feels very warm and comforting, and does not skimp on the spinach — she thicc.
Veggie Fun is tbh enough for two people who are only moderately hungry. Every curry in it is excellent. The veggie korma uses the Nirvana sauce that is just *chef's kiss* and the daal goes well with rice, since it's on the thin side. Aloo gobhi is really nicely spiced and perfectly cooked — fluffy potatoes and soft but still snappy cauliflower."

"47. Lamb Biryani was excellent. The flavors were just right. First time having it with cashews and it was a great addition. The 4. Keema Samosa was delicious. 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."
