For drinks I had the cucumber mint lemonade. It's their newest drink. So delicious! It's cold, refreshing, and delivers a burst of flavor in your mouth. A must try! For food I had the chicken tikka masala (mild), half rice, and garlic naan. They also give you a small side salad. The garlic naan was the best I've ever had. So moist and not burnt like a lot of other places. You can easily pull it apart with your fingers as it screams, "eat me! eat me!", with delight. The chicken tikka masala's flavor was amazing! I like to try things mild first to see how they taste. Some places serve bland food and mask it with spiciness. Not here. The flavor is all there. Next time I think I'm going to adventure on the wild side and try the medium and then possibly the spicy. The included salad was simple yet so satisfying. The dressing is definitely unique and packs a punch with the spice level but... I like it. *wink* *wink* hahhaa. The rice was perfection. I hate it when it's not cooked enough and too mushy or overcooked and hard. Originally I was going to eat half tonight and then the other half tomorrow but... I know myself. I would just go to bed, wake up in the middle of the night thinking about it, then not be able to go back to sleep until I finished the rest because it would keep calling my name from the kitchen. Hahahaha. I didnt get to see the inside because I got it to go but I'll let you guys know in an update. The staff there is great and they seem like a very nice family. As I've always said, I'm a huge supporter of family businesses. I'm soooo happy I gave this place a shot. I am not only coming back, I'm definitely going to have them cater some of my parties. Enjoy!

They're thick, they're flavorful, they hit you with the right spice. Normal spice is a white man's medium high so they got their base down which is more than half the battle. They cook the Paneer just right. And really enjoyed the Bartha! That The not so good: the chicken is way overcooked, I don't know if it's breast or thigh, but it definitely tasted like a dried out breast. Possibly using the tandoori and just dropping it into the gravy, but a perfectly cooked chicken thigh would take the chicken tikka masala to the moon. Second, the Paneer portion size was a joke. Maybe six cubes in the whole deal. Needs to be at least double. I'm ready to try again you gotta protect your meats!

It's been a long week and I needed some comfort food. I was in the South Bay this weekend and…read moredecided to look for a place to get a good gyro. I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, where a few other patrons were already dining. The seating has around 6 or so tables inside that can fit around 4 each, and they also have high chairs for children! I ordered a number 17, which is the gyro, and got a side of hummus and pita then found a table to sit at. I had just finished buckling my child into the high chair when my order was delivered to my table! They are super fast here! The super friendly waiter delivered my meal, and I dug in. The gyro was stuffed with meat! This is a huge deal, since a lot of places skimp and don't give enough. So extra points to Al Hamra for a job well done. The flavor of the meat was juicy and well seasoned, super delish! The hummus and pita was good, although I usually add a bit of spices to my hummus so this one was a little plainer than I'm used to. Either way, it was a nice addition to the meal. The grand finale were the desserts! I usually go for baklava, but decided to try the knafeh, a layered cheese dessert with syrup and pistachios. Get the knafeh! The warm cheese and syrup were so delicious and made for the perfect ending to a good meal! I will definitely be back, the food was super tasty, and the people working there were friendly and helpful. Thanks for the happiness, Al Hamra!

Our group of four adults and two kids came in starving. I had the chicken kabob wrap, which was a perfect burrito-sized meal, while my husband enjoyed a beef and chicken kabob plate that fully satisfied his appetite. Honestly, the highlight for me was the warm pita served with garlic mayo, so much better than the cold or room-temperature pitas you often get at otherMediterranean spots. We also shared dessert, the kulfi cheesecake, and left completely stuffed. Al Hamra is a cozy family-run restaurant with just a few tables, but the food makes it well worth it. I'll definitely rotate between this spot and Chicken Maison for future visits.

After many years of driving past this place on the way to Del Amo Mall growing up, I FINALLY…read morechecked it out recently! Thankfully, I was able to find parallel parking right in front of this restaurant. Off to a great start! While entering, I loved seeing their homely Home Screen door and their extended patio area. Once you go inside, you will notice how much more lighting this place has as opposed to other Indian places. Their booth architecture was pretty cool and comfy as well. I went during their lunch buffet that others have told me about. Honestly, I kind of expected a little MORE variety for the amount they charge. They randomly have a small barrel jug of tomato soup, and an area just for their naan bread, which is cool; BUT their naan bread is kind of different from the traditional ones that usually have chopped up garlic and coriander on it. Angara's naan bread doesn't have any of that on their naan; which was disappointing. I ended up trying their Tikka Masala, grilled chicken, mixed rice, etc.. Usually in other spots, I get other stuff like samosas, potatoes, and other cool different creative stuff to choose from. Angara has pretty much your basic, standard choices. I was like mehhh. Ate their food and it was just OK. Not bad, just ok. I mean I dig that it doesn't taste too salty, but I wanted more taste. The lady who served us was really nice and I loved her great customer service. Their fried vegetables weren't bad, along with their DIY desserts filled with fruit choices and mango puree. In the end, this place has its own kind of aura and flavors; which makes it a cool alternative to those who actually love going here consistently. I'm just a bigger fan of other Indian restaurants; no disrespect to Angara. To everyone who loves eating here; that's awesome for you! To each their own! Glad I was able to at least try this place out.

If you guys are looking for Indian food in Torrance check this place out…read more Instead of going to artesia come to angara in Torrance, Angara is a good spot for Indian food without having to drive far. I ordered Lamb Biryani and butter chicken and garlic naan ! The lamb biryani I got it level 3 spicy And the butter chicken I got level 7 spicy! Don't order the curry too spicy (unless you are ready to sweat) so you could enjoy your garlic naan ! I order 3 batches of the naan it goes really well with the delicious curry sauce The lamb biryani was really good as well and the portion was enough for 3 people for sure I almost forgot I even ordered the garlic Parmesan fries for starters which was really good especially if you like garlic Shout out Joy ! For making the experience joyful definitely coming back to angara to fulfill my Indian food craving If you like drinking beer they serve it in a frozen glass just a heads up

The free hotel breakfast only goes so far. I noticed there was an Indian restaurant that offered a lunch buffet, all you can eat for around $20 per person. The place was called Bombay Tandoori & Banquet. It's address is on the PCH Highway 1, but I needed the GPS to guide me there. There's no parking on Highway 1 so you need to turn into a driveway and find parking. The inside is very nice, kind more upscale than some Indian restaurants I've been to. I see there is a buffet and we get seated. Five for the buffet please ... drink orders are taken. The server is very pleasant. I like buffets for lunch with the crew, cause we don't have to spend a lot of time doing lunch, like we did at Cheesecake Factory one time! The food was all very nice and the buffet was clean. I got my Tandoori Chicken and Tikka Masala over the basmati rice. I know, I'm not that adventurous when it comes to Indian food, but I like what I like and the crew has all they want here. The naan was good here too.

From all kinds of special protein to veggies delights: three kinds of chicken bbq, tandoori mahi mahi, and all kinds of different biryani flavors.

Chicken pakoras, (Indian fried chicken strips) peas pulao (pea veggie rice), carrot cake made of only carrots, just to name a few.
