I wondered in here after attending pride on Sunday. I ordered Garlic Naan x2, a $9 Stella, Palak paneer & curry lamb. Instead of serving it as a meal like advertised in the menu, the owner decided that he is going to milk me dry. To me, him overcharging me said EVERYTHING I needed to know about him as a person. Dishonest. He charged me: $20 for the Palak Paneer ($15 on the menu!) $20 for the Lamb ($15 on the menu!) $10 for the Naan ($5x2) Literally $5 for a single piece if Naan!!) $9 for the Stella and even charged me for the rice that was supposed to come with the meal. The total for ONE PERSON was $73+ I left $80 in cash since this was going to be the LAST money I ever spend at this place. As for the food. The rice & Naan bread was good. The palak was a lil spicy (weird!) and the curry lamb was super spicy. I hate spicy food. The lamb was super soft like it was boiled. Not very tasteful. Nauseating. The owner told me he had opened another restaurant in Fresno. I'll make sure to avoid that restaurant as well! AVOID THIS PLACE LIKE THE PLAGUE! Trying to take advantage of a woman is not good for business. PS. LOOK at the picture they posted outside to lure people in. The rice was clearly included with every main course. Nice try to now deny it. read more

We loved this place! My friend and I came in after a show at the Dolby Theater (steps away) and left so very satisfied and impressed. The owner is a kind and funny host, but more than that, he's rightfully proud of his food! I would have eaten anything but we ordered the tikka frankie, coconut curry and chicken korma. The last two dishes tasted like they had been simmering for hours with a depth of flavor I can only dream about when I cook. The service was amazing: fast and welcoming and the atmosphere was very cozy and family friendly. But again, the star of this gem is the food! I want to return tonight with my family...Hell, I want everyone who eats to try this amazing delight on Hollywood Boulevard! Bollywood Grill is top-tier competition for the best food on the strip! read more

I was in Hollywood for a concert, and was looking for something close to the Dolby Theatre to try out. I saw that this Indian restaurant was serving frankies, which I never had before, so I wanted to come give the restaurant a try. I came here for dinner with my wife and two friends, about an hour before the concert. I got a reservation, but there were actually many seats available. The restaurant is small but the seats and tables are quite spacious. The staff have limited English, but we managed to communicate. My wife and I ended up sharing a chicken tikka massala frankie combo, which came with waffle fries and also a drink (we got diet coke). I'm normally not a fan of waffle fries, but these fries were super crispy and flavorful, not soggy like I might get from a fast food place. They gave us a spicy sauce and a sweet sauce to dip the waffle fries in which was nice. The chicken tikka massala frankie was quite saucy, but quite good. The chicken was dry, but the naan was good and I loved the veggies and sauce. I shared everything with my wife, it's worth the price for the amount of food I got. read more

Previously, I've only had Bollywood as takeout, and it's always great. I joined some girlfriends on the inside this time, and remembered why we don't eat on Hollywood Blvd - PARKING. But other than this being a cafeteria-looking joint, the service was good and the food was great. Wish they'd juzj (sp?) it up a bit. read more

Lovely staff, friendly and efficient. Ambiance was as expected so nothing good or bad but it was clean so that's good. The food was delicious. We got the coconut fish curry. So full of flavor and steaming hot. The naan bred with tamarind and green chutney is something you got to try. Went well with the Fish curry. Reasonably priced for so much flavor with an awesomely convenient location right in the heart of Hollywood Blvd. 5 min walk from TCL Chinese theaters and close to Egyptian theater. Check it out! read more

Very delicious Indian food! My friend ordered a take out for us and they fill their curry to the brim. Their garlic naan is humongous! If I'm ever in the area, I would go visit their place. read more

Food was good! Glad I came here and I would come back. The restaurant is small and easy to miss. I ordered the chicken tikka masala frankie combo (comes with masala fries and a fountain drink), and my friend ordered the Rogan Josh. In my opinion, the Rogan Josh was a little overpriced given the portion size and the fact that it doesn't automatically come with rice. My friend was stuffed after finishing the rice and curry. The meat was very good, well-flavored, and soft. It was not too gamey. The chicken tikka masala Frankie, was pretty affordable at $14! Granted I think my stomach has shrunk, but I was full after eating half of the Frankie and the side of masala fries. I really enjoyed it. Also the masala fries were the best waffle fries my friend and I have ever had. They were super crispy, well-seasoned, and not too salty. In my opinion, they were the highlight of the meal. I took one star off because the lemonade that came with my combo was really odd. It had a strange aftertaste and did not taste like lemonade. Neither my friend nor I had ever tasted lemonade like that before (and I've had both fresh made and carton lemonade). Also the service was a little lacking, I think because there was a language barrier. I think the waiter had some difficulty understanding us. For example, when my friend was asking if the Josh Rogan comes spicy, I think he thought we were concerned that it would be spicy so he said no. (In actuality, we wanted to know what spice levels were available). We found out when we got the bill that the spice level could be adjusted. It was fine with us, but I think it might be good for other customers to be aware. read more

The food was flavorful, but the chicken and especially the rice was a bit dry. I would have prefer the chicken came boneless as it was difficult to get the meat off of the bone considering that it was a little dry. The chicken was marinated well and had good flavor. The rice was on the dry side also. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be, but it required consuming a drink while eating it. The tamarind and spicy sauce were excellent through. I would order from here again, but maybe they could offer a boneless option. read more

A friend was visiting me for the first time in LA and we decided to drive through various different neighborhoods of Los Angeles, which the city offers in abundance. Simply driving down Pico Boulevard from Beverlywood to DTLA offers a variety of unique cultural neighborhoods as you head east. Our first stop was the Grammy Museum to see the new exhibit on the beautiful National guitars. After roaming around the four floors of the Grammy Museum at LA Live, we worked up an appetite. We headed to Hollywood with my friend graciously allowing me to play tour guide. Hollywood is the geographical center of Los Angeles and at one time the entertainment capital of the world. Times have changed and I have rarely over the last 50 years ventured to the heart of the heart of Hollywood on Hollywood Boulevard. However, what I learned is that there are wonderful gems, like El Capitan theater and the Roosevelt Hotel amid the tourist traps. One such gem at the epicenter near Hollywood and Highland is the Indian restaurant Bollywood Grill. I have to admit I was expecting a huge production of 30 or more dancers with wonderful choreography to the beat of the tablas doing the Filmi dance trying to drag me into the production as we opened the doors leading to this joint. Instead while we there at a strange mid day time, we were greeted to a very peaceful subdued ambiance with soothing sounds beckoning you down a narrow rectangular dining room to the smiling greeting by the host at the host station near the back. The menu was extensive and I immediately ordered a chai which is my desired Indian drink, samosa's (which is not GF) and papadums with mint and tamarind dipping sauces. Both quelled our immediate hunger ready for our shared entrees: lamb biryani and chicken tikka masala with mango chutney. What makes Indian food so good is the layering of spices and sauces. Bollywood is forgiven for not having a big energetic, colorful synchronized Filmi dance while we dined. On second thought, the relaxed soothing and simple decor perfectly matched the very tasty and well prepared food. This dinner was perfectly scripted with a delicious ending that left us very satisfied. Well played Bollywood Grill. read more

We are here for dinner last night and it was delicious! The reviews for this place had said that it didn't look like much but was delicious, and those reviews are spot on! The restaurant is small with no frills, and the servers were direct and to the point, taking our orders without much talking. The food really speaks for itself though. We had the vegetable Samosa chaat, mild chicken Tikka masala with rice, and garlic naan. The naan was fluffy and crispy and delicious! We didn't really know what to expect from the vegetable samosa chaat but it was so flavorful! The chicken tikka masala was lacking a bit in flavor, but since we got in very mild that may have affected the taste slightly. Overall a delicious meal that we would definitely eat again. read more

I'm so glad I found this place. The first time was completely by accident, my friends and I were wandering around Hollywood starving and walked in with zero expectations. But the food here blew us away. Like... genuinely blew us away. Hollywood is full of tourist-trap restaurants, so finding a spot that actually cares about flavor and quality is rare. Bollywood Grill is the opposite of that. Everything tastes fresh, authentic, and made with intention. I've tried the Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka Masala, garlic naan, mango lassi, and their rice, all of it was AMAZING. The mango lassi is honestly to die for. The service is also great, the food comes out fast, and the staff is super kind and attentive. Even the leftovers the next day tasted just as good, which tells you everything. My friends and I left with full, happy, round bellies, and I'm definitely a repeat customer now. If you're in Hollywood and want actual quality food instead of the usual touristy spots, this place is a gem. Highly recommend. read more

I have really enjoyed coming here for dinner. The restaurant is not a huge dining area, but there are a few tables. It wasn't super busy when we went in the afternoon. The guy serving us was nice, helping us to find something dairy free for the one with the milk allergy. I had the chicken curry mild which was very delicious! And the garlic naan was so yummy!! Over all, this is a very good place to come have a nice meal that wasn't very heavy, gives nice portions and has you leaving happy and with a full belly. read more

Randomly won tickets for the wax museum at my kid's school and we came here after for lunch. Way better than the wax museum experience IMO. We got Aloo Chaat, Paneer Tikka Masala, Navratan Korma, Aloo Gobi, Garlic Naan, and rice. I liked the crispiniess of the potato in the chaat. The Korma was my favorite, though. I regret that we live a bit too far to make this a regular occurrence, but hope toncome back the next time we're in the area. read more

I came for lunch with a group of friends after visiting a gallery at the Ovation shopping center across the street. I did not realize that there was such a high caliber restaurant in the heart of touristy Hollywood. All the dishes tasted distinct and fresh. The garlic naan was one of the best in town, with good garlic flavor and brushed with butter. They have a good selection of street foods including frankies. I ordered the lamb curry frankie, rolled in flatbread and topped with chutneys as well as fresh cucumbers and onions. The curry sauce was flavorful and not greasy. The papdi chaat has all the flavors and textures - sweet, spicy, tart. Service was on point as well. read more

Consistently delicious every time I come here! I usually get the lamb or chicken korma for a sweet and savory dish to pair with garlic naan. Owner is very kind and proud of the business. There is often street parking behind the main road so it's an easy walk up to the restaurant. Indian music is playing to enjoy while eating. For me, ~30 minutes encompasses sitting down, ordering, and eating so it's a quick and very satisfying meal. read more

Food very tasty. The rice is served in a long flat dish and was hardly warm, when it got to the table. I do feel the food is quite pricey, particularly since the rice is extra! There was virtually no service. The waiter never came to ask if there was anythig else he could do, or to fill our empty water glasses. And we were the only ones in the restaurant. We had to call him over to get more water. I have been there before, with the same waiter, so he is not new. The ambience is very nice. I will return, because it is close, and I like their menu choices. Perhaps this review will make the waiter more attentive in the future. read more

Excellent food! Very fresh and tasty. Hollywood Blvd is lined with trash food, Bollywood Grill sure stands out. Thank you for the great experience! read more

We got there right at 12 and left around 1ish. Not one other party walked in that whole hour :( so writing this review is a little hard because I want them to have more customers and hoping the service was just a one off. The lady that greeted us was meh. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there. She took our order and it took about 30 minutes for us to get our food...even though we were the only ones there. We had to ask for water a few times because she kept forgetting and she kept coming over to ask how the food was almost like she was rushing us out. I'm top of that, we could hear some ruckus from the cook and employee and it just seemed very unprofessional because our food was taking so long to come out yet they were fighting in the back. Now, the food....was not all that. For the cost almost $60 for three dishes, no wonder no one walked in. Prices are absurdly high. Definitely do NOT get the Tikka chicken burger. This looked nothing like the ones they posted online. It was sooooo sad, thin, not crispy and just lacked substance but flavor was there. The fries was too cooked almost burnt. Absolutely nothing special a out their bowls. read more

After a night out with friends in downtown, we ended up going to the Bollywood Grill. We thoroughly enjoyed the food, & the service! The food we had was rich and creamy. The garlic naan was fluffy, freshly made. The mango lassi we gotten had super thick consistency, but was still delicious! The staff was very attentive and kind! Refilled our water and checked up on us from time to time. While the actual establishment was narrow, yet spacious. The store was clean, and their bathrooms were too! Which is always a plus in my book. read more
