Every single dish was delicious! Fabulous service and ambiance as well! We will definitely be back!

Goddamn. This place is amazing. Brought girlfriend here on a valentine's date. Staff was extremely friendly, and waitress was very good. Ambiance was even better. Extremely cute, green, and well decorated. Price was extremely reasonable- spent around $230 (including tip) for all the below + a drink. Let's get into the food. Appetizers: Pork Dumplings - 8/10 (GF rating 8/10) These were great. The inside was solid, outside was acceptable, and crunch on top was great. The sauce absolutely made it. Quite a good choice. Curry Puffs - 9.5/10 (GF rating 10/10) Delicious. You won't regret getting these. Pastry outside is amazing, inside is even better, tamarind makes it EVEN better. Just keeps getting better. Get them. Chicken Larb - 9/10 (GF rating 7.5/10) Very tasty. The sauce it's in is amazing and the flavor profile is just great. Highly recommend. Crispy Pork Belly Salad - 8/10 (GF rating 9/10) Also very good. The flavors all fit together extremely well. I'm not a fan of pork belly but this was done great. Main: Beef short rib - 10/10 (GF rating 10/10) Holy shit. We were so full at this point, it was unfortunate we couldn't finish this, because it was so good. Most tender beef I have ever had. I went at it with a fork, expecting to have a tiny bit of give, but it just fell off the bone, effortlessly. Easier than gliding through softened butter. I also normally don't like fatty pieces due to the texture/chewiness, and was worried I wouldn't like this dish as short rib is quite fatty. I absolutely LOVED the fat on this. It was impeccably rendered. Genuinely the best beef short rib I have ever had. The sauce and cilantro + peanuts it was paired with was a perfect flavor combination as well. Came with a delicious bread as well (naan-esque?) Dessert: Underwhelming, unfortunately. Got all 3. Thai Tea Pudding - 6/10 (GF rating 2/10) Pudding underneath was decent. Boba on top with the sauce was not. Boba not marinated in honey, just chewy bland boba! The custard itself was also not very reminiscent of Thai tea. Vanilla Soft Serve Sundae - 6/10 (GF rating- 5/10) Vanilla ice cream itself was very good. The salted caramel, not particularly, nor the Milo brownie on top of it, and the peanuts didn't pair well with it either. Very mid. Strawberry Basil Shaved Ice - 2/10 (GF rating 7.8/10) GF LOVED THIS. Of all the desserts here, she thought this was the best. I just didn't like this one a single bit. The shaved ice on top was fine but it was a very thin layer and was more about what was underneath (passionfruit pieces, tapioca-like balls, and coconut), which just wasn't it for me. read more

Cute vibe inside! Had a reservation right when it opened at 5pm. Butter chicken, roti, and nasi goreng is yummy! Beef rendang is a little oily for me. Dumplings are expensive for what you get, not amazing flavor on those tbh. Service is friendly and quick, especially to fill water!! Metered parking outside read more

I almost want to gatekeep this spot; but it's too good not to share. Cobi's blends Indonesian, Thai, and Indian flavors with bold, unique dishes. The space is effortlessly cute; beach cottagecore with florals, warm lighting, and a cute patio. Service is attentive and thoughtful, with great care for dietary needs and dish explanations. Perfect for a date night or intimate celebration, and ideal for family-style dining. read more

I've dined here twice in a very short time frame - it's that good. Non-negotiable for me are the curry puffs ($14 for 2pcs). They're puffed pastries filled with curried split peas & potatoes served with a pickled onion tamarind ketchup. Absolute fire. The pastry puff is so buttery and fluffy and the curried split pea + potato filling is so satisfyingly filling. Also on that list are grilled prawns ($21 for 3 pcs). They are marinated in a ginger & yellow bean sauce that really enhances the sweetness of the prawns. The best part is probably the head, but of course that's not for everyone. Delish. We've dabbled all over and tried a ton of their entrees, but I keep going back to the beef rendang ($28). The beef is so tender and flavorful. Even without a ton of sauce, it's so good over the bed of rice. Highly recommend. You should also order the chili & sambal sampler ($7). It's such a good compliment to any of the dishes you happen to order. They're also fun eaten on a prawn chip as well. The patio gives secret garden which is so cute. They also do offer tasting situation so it's a great way to sample their menu - I've never met a dish I didn't love at Cobi's. read more

Cobi's is a beautiful restaurant with pan-Asian cuisine that definitely lives up to the hype. Upon walking in, it felt like I was entering into a secret fairy garden turned upscale, trendy restaurant. The decor is charming, feminine, and whimsical. I arrived a couple minutes earlier than my reservation time and was seated right away. Our server was friendly, gave an explanation of the menu, and checked in consistently to make sure we were taken care of. To start I had the papaya salad and the pork dumplings. I loved the papaya salad as it was tangy, spicy, and lightly sweet. The pork dumplings were standard dumplings that were elevated with the texture of crispy shallots on top. I got the African curry with roti as my main dish, which was insanely rich. I enjoyed the roasted peanut flavor combined with the African spices. However, I did struggle to even eat half of the curry due to its decadence. The roti was buttery, flakey, and a great pairing with the curry. I tried a bite of my friend's beef rendang and it was tender and packed with flavor. For drinks, I had the lychee blossom and the sour cherry fizz. Both were creative and delicious cocktails. read more

Honestly, really good and on par with LA quality food! I went during lunch on a Sunday. I loved sitting outside in the patio surrounded by pretty flowers. I would say the food gave more southeast asian flavors with more of an american palate. I was hoping to see more indian flavors. The standouts were the beef rendang roti. I also got the fried chicken, which my husband loved. The pork belly baos were just okay. I also loved the crispy rice salad, and was a great idea for me to incorporate at home. I would go again, especially using my Resy! read more

Cobi's - Beef Rendang Roti Wraps, fried chicken - Indian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

what a cute spot!! came in without a reservation on a saturday, but we were seated within 5 minutes ~ i was reuniting with my college roomies and we shared such a lovely meal + catch up sesh here ^_^ the atmosphere was amaze, i loved the outdoor seating! also LOVED the pork belly bao bun -- the flavors blended together very harmoniously :3 i wasn't the biggest fan of the chicken satay... but we ended with the bali banana pancakes and that was super yummy! read more

I finally made it to Cobi's, and it's every bit as delicious and aesthetic as people say! The Service: I was really impressed by how attentive the staff was. Despite being a popular spot, the service was seamless and the food came out incredibly quick without feeling rushed. The Food: We started with the Kampachi, and that coconut drizzle is so good and fresh. The Pork Dumplings were another highlight; the crispy onions add such a satisfying texture. For the mains, the Beef Rendang is a must-order. It's marinated in sambal and is the ultimate comfort food when paired with the curry dip and a side of buttery roti. However, the too bite of the entire evening was definitely the Beef Short Ribs. They literally fell off the bone--you don't even need a knife! The sweet chili and tamarind dressing is perfectly balanced. We also loved the Nasi Goreng, which was packed with flavor. The Dessert: My husband, who usually doesn't even like dessert, loved the Thai Tea Pudding. While the pudding itself was delicious and full of flavor, the boba left a little to be desired for me personally. read more

My partner and I came by with our dog on Sunday for this outdoor brunch. The little Patio is very cute and quiet. We didn't have reservation so it took about 20 mins for us to get seated. The menu is fairly small which I like. I'm always a big fan of non traditional brunch food. We shared the fried chicken, rice noodle and the roti wraps. All were good except just somewhat too salty for my taste. Overall we enjoyed the food and would love to come back to try their dinner menu. read more

After three of my coworkers raved to me about Cobi's, I was finally in the Santa Monica area (actually just doing Pilates right next door), and I decided to pique my interest and confirm if the hype was real. Despite not having a reservation on a busy weekend lunch, the host was able to promptly seat me (a solo diner) in the outdoor garden area, which was beautifully decorated with flowers and bird-themed motifs. My server was honestly amazing - providing genuinely kind, attentive service and thoughtful recommendations that were well-tailored to my personal tastes. I ended up ordering a lavender flavored take on the pina colada, which I reminded me of my favorite Salt and Straw honey lavender ice cream, and was well-balanced while being strong. The shrimp char kway teow was also incredible - the fresh rice noodles were perfectly stir-fried so that they were still soft while being very flavorful, and came with quite a generous amount of large prawns. It's hard to find a spot that serves up incredibly curated, authentic South Asian food while having standout service and beautiful dining spaces in West LA, and I'm definitely adding this spot to my list of favorite Santa Monica restaurants and heading back soon to try more of their dinner menu! read more

Cobi's is such a gem if you're craving Thai/Malaysian/Southeast Asian flavors in a really cozy, pretty setting. The ambiance feels warm and intimate..perfect for a date night or a chill dinner with friends. Service was good throughout, and there's a small bar right when you walk in, which sets the vibe immediately. Parking: Mostly street meter parking in the area, so give yourself a few extra minutes. Drinks: We tried the Lychee Blossom and it was pretty good..light, refreshing, and easy to sip with the food. What we ordered: Starters * Kampachi -- this was the only thing I didn't like and wouldn't order again. The fish itself was fresh, but the sauce combo didn't work for me. It was a lemongrass coconut sauce, which was actually delicious on its own, but I felt like it didn't pair well with the fish. I would've preferred something more bright and citrusy with kampachi. * Curry puffs -- sooo good. Basically like a samosa, and they come with a dipping sauce that made them even better. Mains / Sides * Butter chicken -- delicious, comforting, flavorful. * Roti bread -- must get (especially if you're sharing). * Grilled prawns -- amazing, and the sauce was fantastic. We were dipping the roti in it... chef's kiss. * Nasi goreng -- delish. Basically a really good fried rice situation with tons of flavor. * Green papaya salad -- super refreshing and bright, a perfect balance with the richer dishes. Overall, everything was great minus the kampachi sauce pairing for me. I'd absolutely come back to try more of the menu (and next time, maybe even dessert). read more

Perfectly delicious meal with the cutest vibes for a catch up with a friend. It does get quite busy and reservations are highly recommended! Got seated at the patio which had such a charming, cozy, and intimate vibe. We did the Chef's selection menu which is known to be "chefs choice, best of the best" and it truly lived up to it. If you're unsure of what to order or want to experience what the top favorites are would recommend going on the same journey I did. Loved the variety of food that we got to try which were all bursting with flavors. The drink options were fun as well and paired well with our food. The servers are all incredible with great attention to detail and friendliness. Such a wonderful dining experience! Parked at a nearby street meter parking which there's plenty of. Be mindful of the signs though as some are only for 15 minutes. Can't wait to come back! read more

I don't leave follow up reviews for restaurants that often, but I hope chef Cobi knows how amazing her place is. My friend came from out of town for my birthday weekend, so we got together with our other best friend and came here, and our dinner blew my friends away. We came late last Saturday, a reservation for 9:15, and it was still bustling. I love the interior, it is so fun, so inviting. We ordered the pork belly salad (my personal favorite), the beef rendang, the butter chicken, the nasi goreng with pork belly, grilled prawns, and short ribs. Let me tell you how good this meal is - my one friend never ever takes the last bit of any plate, she always lets other people finish the food. She looks at both of us and says "I'm sorry friends, I have to finish this pork belly salad, this is just too good". And then it was like that with every plate! We loved every single thing. The butter chicken was more curry forward than we were expecting, but it was still amazing. We didn't love the boba pudding, but it is very unique and we were all glad we tried it at least! I would give every dish a 10/10. I would give ambiance and service 11/10 - the group next to us made a reservation for 4 people but showed up with 5 people and the people at Cobi's still found them a spot to make it happen. I can't hype up this restaurant enough. It is tied with Holbox and Bavel for my very favorite restaurant in LA (Carmel and Danbi are close seconds!) read more

Absolutely worth the try! If you like Southeast Asian food (Thai, Vietnam etc) then you will love Cobi's. Street parking with meters available. Make sure you're reading the signs. Some are 3hr limit and others are 15 min limit. Dinner ambiance is intimate, lowlight candle vibes with a boutique feel. Very cute! Our server was Jip who immediately greeted us with a warm personality and got us to try all the yummy dishes they were known for. Shoutout to Cam and Jonathan who also helped us! The food is crazy good. You MUST try the Scallop in Half Shell (it comes 2 ways), the Kampachi (coconut lemongrassy sauce is divine), and the Grilled Prawns (get the 4pc option, you won't regret it). Can't go wrong with Butter Chicken which absolutely hit and a side of Rice & Roti. Their desserts are simple and sweet. We tried the soft serve, Thai boba pudding, and the strawberry shaved ice. The soft serve was the best :) Can't wait to come back and try more! Thanks Cobi's! read more

Fantastic late-notice res dinner made the start of my work trip feel like a vacay. Cute building on the corner, nice decor, cozy, and so loud & lively it felt like a Friday. Glad I booked via Resy. Place was packed to the gills with a walk-in line outside. Food was great. Highly recommend getting an order of curry puffs (2) and and order of roti per person. Good mix of veg and non-veg options. Got the Beef Rendang and the Mister Dal. Both leaned salty, but undoubtedly flavorful. Went very well with the roti. Perfect amount of food to get two people full. The staff looked stretched pretty thin. After we got seated, we waited quite a while before we got our order taken and they basically didn't return til checkout. Understandable, but noticeable. 4/5, would return again next time I'm in the area. Had a good time, was very full, and glad I went Plenty of dessert spots around the block open late FYI. Gelato on every block. read more

Everything at Cobi's is stellar from start to finish. The service is up there with the best I've ever had, the ambiance is perfect for a date night or family-style dinner with friends, and the food...don't even get me started! I've loved every single menu item I've tried here but the standouts are the Butter Chicken and Beef Short Rib. If you're not looking to splurge on the Short Rib, the Beef Rendang is great too. Or do what we did and get both! You can't go wrong here and I love that they pay attention to the details--every plate and bowl is unique, food is served in courses, the wallpaper and flower ceilings make a fun but sophisticated atmosphere. Cobi's is my new favorite restaurant in Santa Monica! read more

Friendly staff that walks you through the set menus and makes recommendations. Would highly recommend making a reservation as the line gets quite long even prior to open time. There are two different options if set menus, with completely different offerings. We decided to do a-la-carte as the set menu seemed to be very comprehensive with a lot of food items. Grilled prawns were an amazing starter - the prawns were super tender and flavored with the spices. My personal favorite was the Nasi Goreng, especially with its flavorful and crispy pork belly chunks. Highly recommend! read more

It was very good, but a bit too small and kinda loud. If you want something intimate it's not this. Food ranges $18-30. But you add extra $4-5 for the necessary rice and roti. Good! read more

Shared a VERY delicious meal here with some friends! Loved the lush decor inside, everything from the wallpaper to the light fixtures and tables and chairs made for such an intimate but welcoming, cozy vibe. The menu is more shareable and family style, but that way you can try a bit of everything. Honestly, it was all flavorful and well prepared, but if I went back and ordered again, the Beef Short Rib would be at the top of my list! Closely followed by the Butter Chicken and the Curry Puffs, I love a vegetarian option. Drinks-wise they had a couple of NA options, and the Lychee Fizz was a great counterbalance to all the savory food we ordered. The staff was really friendly, it was raining when we went and they had a place to stash umbrellas near the front door. Our waiter explained the menu to us and recommended his favorite dishes as well as what's most popular, and was very attentive throughout the meal, always making sure our cups and plates were filled. In terms of parking, there's metered street parking all over the area so it shouldn't be too hard to find. I would absolutely recommend coming out and trying Cobi's, and I'll be going back to try some other things on the menu next time! read more

As soon as you walk in, the Ambiance is beautiful. Came here on a Saturday night and it was the perfect sit down dinner date. I don't think pictures online do it justice to actually how pretty it is in person. Food is phenomenal. I recommend the beef short rib. It is super tender and it goes great with the sauce they give on the side. The beef Rendang is spectacular, flavorful. We got rice to pair on the side with both of them, great addition. The food came out super quick and it tasted fresh, our server was always checking in on us and the chef is very kind. If you're looking for a good variety of Southeast Asian food, this is the place. Certain dishes can be more on the pricier side, but you are getting amazing quality for what you pay for. Very justified and would come again. I recommend it to others! read more

Excellent service from the moment you walk in. The restaurant itself is beautiful with an outdoorsy feel. Beautiful florals. Servers so joyous. The food is fricken bomb af. The fried chicken is one of the best fried chicken's we have tried! The pork salad was also so good with delicious flavors and delectable pear. The french toast was SWEET but it was so good. The fruits made it even better. Its almost like a crunchy tres leches. The chicken satay was good with good flavors 3.5/5 but maybe wouldn't order again. But overall can't miss food and worth a try!!! This was for brunch btw. read more

We got really lucky without reservations. Tim and I chilled at the bar after work while we waited for somebody to potentially cancel. Ate the roti with the butter chicken! Fire. Good fluff, good texture, and just crispy enough. Short ribs were incredible - I don't expect them to slap that hard. Fatty, tender, sweet, and salty. We were one of two tables that sat on the sidewalk. Ambiance is interesting - Rasta music playing with a south East Asian vibe. Dimly lit with warm lights. read more

Cobi's - Beef Short Rib, Roti, and Butter Chicken - Indian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

I booked last minute reservations and ended up coming in at 8:15 pm. The restaurant was packed and made me glad I made a reservation, instead of walking up and hoping to get a table. We were seated inside, and though the room was nice I hope when I come again I'll get the patio! I went with a friend who I haven't seen in a while and we went a little overboard on the food, but I'm glad we got to try so many things! We got the curry puffs, beef rendang, butter chicken, and the dry aged branzino and the roti and rice as sides. Only took some of the butter chicken home and rice, so for two hungry individuals I think one app and two of the other mains was a good amount with the carb-y sides. I loved the curry puffs. Would pass on the butter chicken again, it wasn't bad but was definitely the most flat dish. The branzino was probably my favorite, the sauce was so bright it complemented the fish so beautifully I could probably eat it daily for the next year and still want more hahaha. The rendang was also delicious, the extra curry sauce it is served with made it a super close second to the branzino. Overall, between the attention of our waitress and the food and drinks (non-alcoholic fizzy bevs that were really tasty!) I would gladly come here again and am so glad I finally got to try! read more

Cobi's is one of my favorite spots recently, it has suuuuch good Indonesian food and a cozy vibe. It feels like you're visiting grandma and eating a home cooked meal You can't go wrong with any of the curry dishes if you're a fan of curry. I recommend coming with a bigger group (maybe 4 or more) so you can order more items. You'll definitely want to try a variety of dishes! I've been to Cobi's for brunch on the weekend as well and it does not disappoint. There are some overlapping menu items between brunch and dinner so you'll still get a good menu selection to choose from. Some of my favorite brunch items were the roti wrap and the Kaya French toast. The Kaya French toast is not exactly like the tradition Kaya toast but has a good brunch twist to it and still delicious read more

We had a great experience here at Cobis where they made us feel very welcome and cozy even though we went in on a cold rainy day! This spot has a cute ambiance perfect for a date or a night out with friends. For food we tried: * curry puffs - super crispy with a delicious potato filling, everyone in the table enjoyed this * sambal sampler with cassava chips - we ordered the chips separately but this was a great combo and very yummy. I loved and enjoyed all the dips *papaya salad - I was not able to have this but everyone in the table loved this * daal - this was yummy and had a lot of flavor. Went really well with the roti paratha. * beef rendang - absolutely delicious and loved how soft and melt in your mouth the beef was . I could not stop eating this! * butter chicken - delicious and flavorful, we enjoyed every bite and the curry was packed with lots of yummies and flavors!

Its so cute inside! This is one of the prettiest and homey restaurant I've been in in LA. It was surprisingly busy for a Tues night, lots of people on dates. The pork belly salad was yum, it was soo crispy and well balanced with the mint, asian pears, citrus, onions, etc. The butter chicken was good but not the best ever. The curry puffs were good, they were basically fried samosas. Be careful because they are so hot! Would go back to try other things on the menu especially the desserts!!

Cobi's was such a fun place!! We went for lunch on a Sunday and made reservations but they weren't too busy. The place was gorgeous and had a really cute vibe. It was so well decorated and you can really tell they pay attention to detail in their food and ambiance. Food: we ordered the beef randang roti wraps (10/10), Cobi's fried chicken (9/10), and nasi goreng (7/10). The beef randang roti wraps were the star of the show for us! So tender, juicy, and flavorful, the roti was flaky and the beef was cooked so perfectly. All the flavors went so well together and it was a decent size. Cobi's fried chicken was recommended by our server as one of their best dishes and he wasn't wrong! The crunch was insane and it was soooo juicy and tender. It wasn't dry at all and had really good seasoning on top and throughout the chicken. The side sauce packed a punch and was a bit spicy but worked well! Nasi goreng: typical fried rice with a fried egg on top that was cooked perfectly. Nothing too stand out about this dish but was a standard fried rice that tasted exactly like it described! No complaints but no our favorite either. Overall, we'd definitely come back to try their dinner menu. Good to note that their dinner and lunch menus are different. I would love to try their dinner menu next and their fun cocktails! They also had live music during lunch which was such a vibe and our server was really attentive! P.S. check out the restroom haha it was pretty cool read more

First off this place looks like a secret garden. This was my second visit and the first time we ate inside and I am so glad we got to eat outside this time. Not to say the inside isn't a vibe as well. Service both visits was a 10 out of 10. The staff is incredibly friendly! Everything we ate was delicious. But the thing that I will continue to come back here for is their mushrooms. Never in my life have I had such delicious mushrooms. Even if you are not a mushroom fan, I would recommend trying these!!! As far as a cocktails go. I was not impressed. This is the only thing that I wouldn't order again. My brother got their version of an old-fashioned and I ordered one of their margaritas. Both drinks, however, tasted very light on the actual alcohol. Aside from that. This is a wonderful, dining experience and one I would recommend to everyone. read more

Perfection. It's dark, cozy and feels intimate bc of the candlelight. We came as a big group of 8 and we were recommended to do half the classics and half the chefs choice as that would get us the best of the menu and holy crap, the food did not stop coming. The spread was INCREDIBLE and so generous, we had plenty to take home. There wasn't a single dish we did not like, which is unheard of. We were absolutely stuffed and genuinely enjoyed every dish. I don't even remember if I got a picture of all the food, I honestly blacked out bc I was so excited to eat. There really are no notes. I would 100% come back with a big group. It was so much fun eating family style! read more

Cobi's - Indian Near Me - Santa Monica, California

Cobi, a culinary gem that seamlessly blends Indonesian, Indian, and Thai flavors, is a must-visit for foodies in Los Angeles. Nestled amidst the city's vibrant cultural tapestry, Cobi offers a unique dining experience that celebrates the fusion of diverse cuisines. Stepping into Cobi, you're enveloped in a warm ambiance, with greenery and the Cobi logo adorning the ground like a welcoming bat signal. The low-hanging ceiling lamps and candle-lit structures create an intimate and elegant setting, making it an ideal choice for a romantic date or a special occasion. Our waiter, adorned with a Pokémon sticker on her apron, exuded an infectious smile throughout our service. Her genuine warmth and helpfulness made our dining experience truly memorable. She promptly refilled our water and efficiently processed our check, ensuring a hassle-free dining experience. Now, let's talk about the food. The dry-aged kingfish and African curry were my absolute favorites. The kingfish's rich, oily flavor is perfectly complemented by the coconut dressing, which adds a touch of sweetness and tanginess. The lime leaf oil infuses the dish with a citrusy aroma, cutting through the richness of the fish and creating a harmonious balance of flavors. The African curry, on the other hand, boasts bold and dark flavors that are reminiscent of curry absorbed by all the spices. It's a complex and intriguing dish, almost like a goo of flavors that tantalizes your taste buds. Dipping the charred roti into this flavorful concoction brings it all together, creating a satisfying and satisfying dining experience.

I went here with group of friends on a weekday evening. We made a reservation about 1 week beforehand. We were seated outside on the patio. We ordered the chicken larb, mister dal, butter chicken, branzino and nasi goreng to share, along with some roti. Food came out pretty quickly! Portions were a little on the smaller side for the price, but it filled our group (5 people) as some of our group don't eat very much. If big eaters, would recommend additional dishes. My favorite was the butter chicken, though the chicken, dal and nasi goreng were popular in our group. The larb was ok, but not a fan of the large and tough cabbage leaves that they were served with. Total ended up being ~$30 per person (~$150 total) including tax and tip. Parking is street parking only. There are a few free parking spots in the neighborhood across the street (but check signs for parking rules) otherwise there is a lot of metered parking available. read more
