I've been to this spot in person many times, and had it delivered even more…read more I think it's the best tasting Indian food in Long Beach, but after tonight, these guys suck. They've slacked more and more for years when it comes to deliveries. This was by far the worst. Super SUPER small portions. That's the biggest thing, come on man. Here is a picture of what I paid $122 for.....PLUS FEES, AND a TIP! (this has nothing to do with drivers btw, salt of the earth. Thank you). Look at this piece of nothing, weightless, garbage meal that came to my door. Ask yourself: is this worth $150+......based on presentation, quantity, value....literally any factor. A 3.5 ounce half scoop of rice for a $150 total authentic Indian meal.............yeah?! Time for a change in practice fellas, otherwise DO NOT support this business. I'm over $150 out from buying basic Indian street food hoping it was decent.

Did we just find another gem in Long Beach? My partner and I were honestly in awe of how delicious…read moreand flavorful every dish was. We'd been wanting to try Kamal Palace for a while since it had been on our radar, and of course we decided to go on Mother's Day for lunch -- fully expecting a long wait. Kamal Palace is tucked away in the Marina Pacifica shopping center in Long Beach, right along the Los Cerritos Channel. Even though it was pretty crowded when we arrived, there were still plenty of tables available, and we were seated within about three minutes. We specifically came for lunch because they offer a lunch buffet seven days a week. When it comes to Indian food, I always want to try a little bit of everything, and when we order à la carte, we usually end up with way too much food. The buffet was perfect because we got to sample a variety of curries and different dishes without overordering. I can't even remember all the names of the curries they had, but every single one we tried was flavorful and delicious. My favorites were definitely the shrimp curry and the mushroom curry. Of course, we both ordered mango lassis, and they paired perfectly with the meal. The ambiance was lovely, and the customer service was incredibly warm and welcoming. We're definitely adding Kamal Palace into our regular lunch date rotation.

I really wanted to love this place because the food was honestly amazing. It's buffet-style, and…read moreeverything I tried was flavorful, fresh, and clearly made with care. There were plenty of options, and it's the kind of place where you want to keep going back up to try a little bit of everything. Unfortunately, the service completely took away from the experience. Our waiter brought the bill while we were still eating and in the middle of a conversation, and then kept coming back to rush us to pay. It felt really uncomfortable and unnecessary at the time--especially since no one had mentioned that they were closing. If we had known, we would have been more mindful and wrapped things up sooner. Great food, but the lack of communication and rushed service made it hard to fully enjoy the experience. I'd consider coming back for the food, but I really hope the service and communication improve.

Yum! What a great find in this area!…read more All the items we ordered were delicious. The paneer tikka masala was flavorful and creamy, the chili chicken was spicy, perfectly seasoned, and the chicken wasn't tough or rubbery. The samosas were excellent and came with both styles of chutney. Our order also came with a small side of rice which we appreciated. My only critique would be that the garlic naan was a bit flat and bland, but the former could be because it just didn't transport well since we ordered takeout. Overall, would highly recommend this spot and it holds its own against some of the more established spots in Artesia, Long Beach, etc.!

I was looking for a local Indian restaurant and came across Amaravati. When I saw that dosa is on…read morethe menu, I was even more excited! Amaravati is located in a small strip mall. There are usually some parking spots available, however, the spots are VERY narrow. They serve authentic North and South Indian cuisine and are known for their lunch buffet, but I came for dinner where they serve their a la carte menu. For appetizers, we got the Vegetable Pakoda made with gram flour, vegetables, spinach with Indian spices, It comes with two sauces for dipping. For the main dishes, we got the Butter Chicken which was so good! The chicken thigh was tender, and the cashew and tomato sauce was so savory and flavorful. It's served with a small portion or basmati rice. We also got the Palak Paneer which has spinach, Indian cheese seasoned with jeera, garlic, and Indian spices. It's also served with a small portion of basmati rice. Of course we needed some Garlic Naan for dipping into both! I also wanted to try the Aloo Paratha since I've never had mashed potatoes in paratha before! It comes with a white sauce for dipping. They have a variety of dosas, including their Paper Dosa. It was a massive 3 feet long! It's very thin, so it ends up being quite crispy. It's served with sambar and some different chutneys, including coconut, peanut, and tomato. The peanut was my favorite, and the tomato was good as well, however, it was a bit spicy. We also got a Paneer Bhurji Dosa. This dosa was unique in that it's filled with scrambled paneer, onions, tomatoes, and Indian spices. It reminded me a bit of a breakfast wrap. Not bad, but it does gets a bit soggy over time. I prefer the Paper Dosa! Service was friendly!

Staff is super friendly & food tasted fresh, delicious, & - the best part - healthy! I tried the soup sampler trio & the mix & match taco trio. All were tasty! I truly struggled to pick a favorite of each. I also had the iced lemongrass Chai & the turmeric ginger immunity drink. They offered me a sample of the Chai before I ordered it which I thought was very nice. The only suggestion I would offer is to add more lime juice to the immunity drink has its turmeric heavy (obviously) but missing some tang from the lime. I was the only one dining in so the ambiance was pretty quiet & relaxed. There seemed to be a decent number of pick up/ to-go orders while I was there. Please support this small business stay open! I'm looking forward to going back & trying more items when I'm in the area.

Focused on healing the bodies through food is something everyone is needing more of. I have always been mindful of what i put into my body, and truly believe the art of healing ourselves through Whole Foods! Appus Tumeric Cafe checks all of those boxes, with Chefs VRs goal to educate and provide a place where people can enjoy great food with having no cost to their own long term health. I came in on a random Thursday to try it out for the first time and I was the only customer there. Greeted by the Chef and owner himself I was happy to share a conversation with him as he prepared my meal. Like in any new places I go to I tend to panic order and simply asked for his recommendations. I decided to go with the item that will be good for on the go as I needed to eat quickly before jumping to my next work call. I went with The Maharaja Burrito one of those items Cher VR recommended as well as the Yellow Lentil Soup. Along with the burrito came with a yellow curry sauce to also add more flavor to the burrito. Both dishes were fabulous! I truly enjoyed the flavors from both dishes, however I kind of wished I went with their garbanzo soup to add more spice to the overall meal. I will be back for sure to make my way through his menu as everything sounded delicious .

The other unique and must order is the achari paneer. They have a few other fusion type dishes which were pretty good too.

Great spot for a date, and or lunch. Worth getting a resy if you have a bigger group. Don't sleep on this place is a must try in my opinion.

Revisit? Yes! When…read moreI'm in the mood for a quick delicious dinner, Flamin Curry is a treat. Everything we've tried has been flavorful, fresh, and served warm. The portions are generous. We always have leftovers for lunch the next day. I order two 2-item combos that comes with rice and naan. I gotta get the butter chicken (not spicy) and spinach paneer (spicy). My husband likes the cauliflower (spicy). The veggie samosas are amazing. The restaurant always looks tidy and clean. Everyone taking orders is quick to help and friendly. I've noticed they're happy to give samples and patient if you need help ordering. The only drawback is getting out of the parking lot. Atlantic is a busy street, and I've seen an accident or two at the intersection while grabbing food here. I cross my fingers every time I get on Wardlow to go east. But totally worth it. If I did get in an accident, I'd blissfully enjoy my butter chicken while waiting for a tow.

The portions are generous and ideal for family-style dining, with plenty to share and usually enough left over for lunch the next day. Great food, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere keep us coming back again and again. Highly recommend!

My family went here on a Saturday night around 6 as a party of 5. We were immediately seated but by…read morethe end of our time there, the inside of the restaurant was pretty much full (they have a fair amount of outdoor seating too). Food came out in a good time, especially considering there was a large party having a birthday party at the same time. We ordered a number of entrees and 2 appetizers. Everything was pretty good with my standouts being the hand-pulled noodles and the tofu & shiitake mushroom entree. You could tell the hand-pulled noodles were fresh and made by hand. The sauce on it was good but too salty. The tofu & shiitake dish was served in a savory and tasty home/brown sauce. The scallion pancake was good as well, just much thinner than other scallion pancakes. The Chinese broccoli was good, but I thought it was more bitter than usual Chinese broccoli dishes. The fried rice was okay.
