The flavor and texture weren't anything crazy outstanding, but i did appreciate the proper plating. The workers were running, although they were understaffed.

It was not too hot or cold that day. We saved our stomachs so that we can try many DELICIOUS type of food... We came during OPENING hours at 11am. We were one of the first customers of that day. It started to get busier around 12pm. You can find PARKING on the street or the small parking lot located in the back of the restaurant... THALI: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW!! This dish was my favorite of all. It reminded me of a fajita. It's such a healthy and delicious dish!!! I loved the LIMA beans the most. I have trouble digesting certain foods can easily give me heartburn or bloating but, the Lima beans really helped my digestion instantly!!! PANI PURI: 9/10 What a great way to start a meal! It was this crunchy goodness! I loved the crispness and the light and airy texture. One point of because the sauce leaks so make sure to EAT it and POUR the SAUCE on a plate!!!! MASALA DOSA: 10/10 It was like a large crispy crepe filled with potatoes! I loved the taste and texture. The side dishes really complimented this dish so well. I am definitely craving for this dish again... SWEET ROTI: 8/10 It has great flavor but, it was too thick for me!!! DESSERT: 10/10 Rich and creamy! SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT!!! Not sure if they are use to seeing ASIANS but, they were a bit surprised and welcoming. The PRICES were great! The portions are generous!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAY BHARAT!!!!

We were in the area one night craving Indian food and decided to try this place based on Yelp…read morereviews. We actually drove past it at first and almost didn't stop because the outside looks a bit run down, but we gave it a chance. The inside was clean and surprisingly spacious, and our server was friendly and easygoing. We ordered the Pongal, Masala Dosa, and Vegetable Kothu Paratha. The pongal was my first time trying it, kind of like a savory oatmeal with curry flavors, and honestly I liked it. The masala dosa was huge with a potato filling and came with sauces to dip. Our favorite was the pomegranate sauce but you have to ask for it. The vegetable kothu paratha was also good and came with a variety of dips. Overall the food really hit the spot. I'm not an expert on Indian food but everything tasted satisfying, the portions were generous, and the prices were very reasonable. I'd definitely come back and would say don't judge it by the exterior.

Love this place. My girlfriend and I were hanging out with an Indian friend of hers and she had…read morerecommended Bhimas to us. So we went here to try it out and we were blown away. The dosas are out of this world! The restaurant is surprisingly spacious. As a non Indian diner, I didn't know what dishes to try so we asked our waiter to make recommendations. He seemed like he didn't really know the menu because he had to look at it and even then he should want sure what to recommend other than the Bhimas special dosa. So my girlfriend and I ended up ordering on our own. My girlfriend ordered the Bhimas special dosa and I got the onion rava dosa. She also ordered a mango lassi to drink and a ras malai for dessert. Based on the waiter's recommendation, we got idly and vada appetizer. That was the only miss for us and we wouldn't get it next time. Overall, the place is great and we can't wait to go back and get more dosas!

Again, since I'm a newbie my fellow foodies did the ordering and the first round we had the Masala Dosa, Thali Plate and the Dahi Puri with yogurt. This was definitely a flavorful start and I really enjoyed everything. Second order was the sweets and we had the Rose Purfi, Penda and the Jalebi. All of them were so good and we did have more items but too many to name. I can honestly say I've been missing out and I'm sure glad my fellow foodies took me on this delicious journey. So shout out to Jagruti and Ben. Service was, I don't know because I wasn't the one who ordered, LoL. And that's my take on this Indian spot, Peace out...

I really wanted to like Surati Farsan Mart, but after giving it a chance, I don't think I'll be…read morereturning. I waited almost 45 minutes for a $9 dosa, while person after a person who arrived after I did kept getting served. I mean, if someone's just sitting there, wouldn't you try to find out what was wrong instead of just letting them sit there? All of this was frustrating enough, but I had to be the one to go up to them, even though there was like a million people working what really bothered me was being repeatedly asked for my receipt. I honestly don't even think I got one. I understand asking once if there is some confusion about an order, but after I had been sitting there for that long waiting for food I had already paid for, continuing to ask me for proof of purchase felt incredibly uncomfortable. At a certain point, instead of repeatedly asking the customer for a receipt, someone should be checking on the order and figuring out why it hasn't come out. I just think that's bad customer service and bad business. It honestly made me feel dumb as fuck when they were the ones that messed up. Realistically, why would someone sit in a restaurant for almost 45 minutes pretending to have ordered a $9 dosa? On another note, I had ordered the Rasmalai and it was quite mediocre compared to Ambala Sweets and snacks. There also seemed to be plenty of employees working, so I couldn't understand why the order took as long as it did or why no one seemed to take ownership of figuring out what had happened. Unfortunately, although the dosa was amazing, it didn't redeem the experience or how I had been treated with zero importance as a customer. I can be very understanding about restaurants being busy and food taking longer than expected. What bothered me wasn't simply having to wait--it was waiting that long while repeatedly being asked to prove that I had actually ordered instead of someone taking the initiative to find out where my food was. When I told them that I could show them the credit card charge they said that it doesn't prove what I bought and I was like yeah bro I'm sitting here with Rasmalai and Coke and I'll show you the charge is more than that. Usually, I thank people on my way out, but I couldn't wait to get the fuck up out of there. Everything left a really bad impression, and I don't plan on returning to a business that treats me I like I ain't shit!!

Of course, the heart of Artesia and Pioneer is Little India so there's a plethora of great Indian…read morefood places. But what makes this place unique and stand out is that they are a fusion of Indian & Chinese. In addition to the traditional dishes like the samosa, tandoori chicken and curries, they offer veggie spring rolls, Szechuan prawns and Kung Pao chicken. When I came on a weekday for lunch, there wasn't a wait nor was it busy in the dining hall, but I noticed a lot of delivery app orders. The restaurant is very spacious and also has a stage-like platform near the back of the restaurant so I could totally see that they would host special events. As for the food, I ordered the usual samosas, Chicken Tikka Masala with a side of garlic naan, Saag Paneer, and their Chinese-inspired Wok n Shrimp which was very flavorful. The only downside is that this place is pretty pricey when compared to other restaurants in the Little India area. I would come back for a more upscale dining experience!

There have definitely been times where I've had some of the best dishes here. My issue is consistency. It's kind of hit or miss. Some visits are great, and others just don't come close to that same level, which makes it tough to fully rely on. Standouts for me are the Chinese bhel, Szechuan fries, and Hakka noodles. When those are on, they're really, really good. That said, it's a nice, clean restaurant with a concept you don't see a ton of in Southern California. When they're on, it's one of the better Indo-Chinese spots around. Overall, solid, just wish it was more consistent.

For those who like to experience food from the South Asian continent - this is a good place to start.

She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our meal. Her excellent service made our first visit even more enjoyable. The food was incredible! I ordered the Chicken Korma, and it was one of the best I've ever had. The sauce was rich, creamy, and perfectly seasoned, with tender chicken in every bite. The meal came with fluffy basmati rice, warm fresh naan, flavorful chickpeas, yogurt, and pickled onions that complemented everything perfectly. If you're looking for authentic, delicious Indian cuisine with outstanding service, Curry Lounge is definitely worth a visit. We will absolutely be back and can't wait to try more of the menu. Thank you, Pawan, for making our first experience so memorable!

The food came out and the Naan was delightful. The Chicken Tikka was tasty and fresh, The Palak Paneer was delicious, perfectly spiced and not to oily. My coworker said the Lamb was super tasty.
