As someone who lives in LA, anytime I go somewhere and there's parking, I'm thrilled. This location was conveniently located right off of the 101 in a plaza that is not very crowded. We were sat instantly. Our waiter, who may have been the owner, was so kind to us and very attentive. We ordered the vegetarian meal for two and then added one more dish thinking we were very hungry. We had so much food! We are very excited to have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. The food was delicious. The ambiance was great. And everything came out super quickly. The tea at the end was a lovely touch. Everyone needs to try this spot!

From what I understand, the restaurant closed unexpectedly following the owner's death, and online ordering services may not have been updated immediately. As a result, some customers were still able to place orders even though the restaurant was no longer operating. While I understand the frustration, services such as DoorDash can typically issue refunds, and credit card companies can reverse charges when necessary. It's unfortunate that some of the owner's final reviews were negative because of circumstances beyond his control. Rather than assuming the worst, it's worth considering what may have been happening behind the scenes. My experience with the food was excellent, and I wanted to leave a review that reflects that.

Michael's Curry leaf hits the spot!…read more I think most Brit's will agree that the majority of US Indian restaurants don't come close to those back home but perhaps Michael's "Curry Leaf" comes very close! Firstly Michael's business is very much a one man band so how he manages to put out such authentic dishes with just one pair of hands is beyond me. I watched him rolling the Nan bread in front of me, like his life depended on it-- really incredible. I ordered Lamb biriyani -- it came in a nice bowl and was complimented by the Nan bread and some very tasty traditional Indian yogurt and a water for $20. Now this wasn't your plastic stuff which seems to be the order of the day for $20. This was pretty authentic Indian food for which I would have paid more for. Plus the presentation was also very appealing. I'm going to make a habit of coming here because I'd like to test the other dishes on the menu. Michael seems to have a great reputation in the area -- it shows by the number of orders he gets! Quite phenomenal. If you're in town and fancy something authentic, fresh, delicious and spicy why not try the "curry leaf".

However, on 7/25/26, the workers denied access to my medical alert service dog on my birthday weekend :( We were heartbroken.

Oh well, they lost out on a big order and no wonder the place was completely empty on a Saturday evening. Overall vibes were off. Karma is a very fitting name for this place i guess.

The potato was spiced and flavorful and the Naan was cooked perfectly, piping hot but soft. The rice was great. The Chicken Makhani was very bland. I'm a huge fan of butter chicken and this one didn't deliver. It was creamy but almost bitter. The spice (heat) level was perfect (medium), but the flavor was so off I didn't end up finishing the dish. Like I said bitter and not the creamy slightly sweet, rich flavor I'm used to. Disappointing because I had high hopes for this place being a local spot. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They were great to deal with. And maybe it was just an off day, I just don't know. I'll be back and try another such soon and see if that changes my mind. But for now, just unimpressed.

The "Taste of Punjab", in Moorpark, was an over 20-mile one way trip for me from the SFV. If you…read morelike North Indian food, it is my opinion that the state of Punjab in India (and I have spent time there), provides food preparations that are a notch above the rest of its Indian state counterparts (e.g. Uttarkhand, Rajasthan, Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh). So I called the restaurant to fine tune. Their lunch buffet was only on Fridays. The spread would only contain 3 meat selections, all of them chicken (really, no variety?) and only 3 vegetable choices (really, is that all?) Then an appetizer, salad components and condiments. There would be rice and Naan too. A meager set of choices for a $15.99 buffet? Yet, the restaurant was enticing. Hence the pull, to taste their version, of Punjabi food. That sealed the deal for me and I was on my way to pay a visit, and eat. As expected, the choices were limited. There was chicken tikka, chicken tandoori and chicken curry. For vegetables, aloo bhegan (potatoes and eggplant), peas paneer (peas with sautéed Indian cheese cubes) and dahl (lentil curry). The Naan was not brought fresh table-side, but delivered to the hot case. Still, it was soft and wonderful, actually well executed, had good chew, cut into medium sized pieces. Rice came out in small portions in a bowl and was not dry (unlike other buffets). For appetizers, they had one choice, good sized samosas with a thin wrapping (also unlike other buffets) and a simple ,but very tasty and moist potato filling. They were truly fantastic (I had 4 of them, a first for me!). That too, came out, as needed. Like it should be. For me, this is also a sign of thoughtful food management, to provide just prepared items, to enhance freshness, cut down on wastage. On the condiment side though, there were disappointments. The tamarind chutney was watery and their mint chutney thick, and from a bottle. Not fresh. Raita was creamy, with body and wholesome. What was striking at the Taste of Punjab, was the unmistakable high quality and culinary prowess of the chef(s). Every dish oozed with freshness, aroma, rich flavor and an intoxicating blend of well married spices and taste. The three chicken dishes were tender, with soft meat having a perfect texture to satisfy. Overall, every selection on the buffet was unique because, it felt and tasted so different. High class, is the best way to describe it. I was really amazed and blown away. Was also pleased, that my relentless hunger, curiosity and the lengthy drive here to Moorpark, had borne sweet fruit. It was a reward. Definitely, a Punjabi lunch buffet to remember, for a very long time.

I also love the unique experience of ordering what you'd like and paying at the end. It creates such a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. I'm excited to return and explore more of their yummy menu. You can also buy some great international food products in this casual and comfy environment.

If you're a true foodie, you've probably heard of Bikanervala but if you haven't don't fret…read more Bikanervala is a global name that started in the royal city of Bikaner, Rajasthan. Known for its irresistible sweets, snacks, and traditional Indian delicacies, The definition of feeling like "a kid in a candy store." The menu is large and can be a little intimidating for first-timers so keep that in mind but just know that you really can't go wrong with any of their dishes. There are plenty of small quick bites and chaat (hot and cold snacks) to pick. I was informed by the staff in about two weeks they will be rolling out they're larger northern India dishes, and platters, so stay tuned...And of course, they have cases upon cases of desserts. Here is what I would recommend: Chhole Bhature - MY FAVORITE DISH. Fluffy, golden-brown bhature (deep-fried bread) paired with a perfectly spiced chhole (chickpea curry) total comfort food. Pani Puri Atta - a more popular street food, are perfectly crisp and golden fried puris waiting for you to fill with potato, chickpeas and sauce. For dessert my absolute favorite small bite is their Kaju Apple sweet treat. Trust me. It's a 10/10 and the inside filling was so fun, I felt like a kid again. It was magical...Some honorable mentions would be their Pink Karachi Halwa (think a sweet thick gummy treat) and their Malai roll. Thank you to Bikanervala's staff for making me feel welcome and putting up with all of my questions lol. Everyone was so sweet and helpful. Just a note, please be patient with the team as they have only recently opened and are still navigating training and cook times. My order came out super quickly when I was here but I know some others noted concerns about long wait times who had gotten there before me. I do think it depends what you order but as they get their footing I'm sure times will improve.

Bikanervala, is a unique name for an Indian restaurant, that ponders research. In Hindi, the…read moreliteral meaning is, "from Bikaner" or "someone from Bikaner". Actually, Bikaner is a city in the northwestern state of Rajasthan, in India. It is a renowned multinational brand in that country. Other than India, this restaurant chain also has footprints in Dubai, Nepal, New Zealand, Canada, Bahrain, Singapore and Qatar. The Westlake outpost is situated in a strip mall. The inside is spacious, with simple elegant tables, each having their own menu. All restaurants should do so. One wall depicts the history and expansion of this brand. I stopped by for a snack and chose the Dahi Puri. Essentially, small crispy hollow shells (wheat or semolina) which are filled with a custom mix of potatoes, onions, chutneys (red and green) and yoghurt. What was unique here was, that there were shreds of beetroot on top and one pomegranate seed in the middle of each puri (you get 6 of them for $9.99). As such, a bite gives you a burst of flavors, both spicy and sweet, a cool degree of wetness, then crispness from the outer shell, and a blend of inner softness and medium textures from the ingredients. Overall, this menu item is my favorite snack at any Indian restaurant. But Bikanervala took it to another level. Easily, the best Dahi Puri I have had so far, both in color, presentation, taste and satisfaction. Wow.

For example, twice (or three times) now the chicken tikka has been very tomato forward. Don't get me wrong, I know its a tomato dish and I love it but when it basically JUST tastes like tomatoes, it's very underwhelming. We love getting the combination plates so we can get a little something of everything. My favorites are their drinks and dessert. The Nimbu Pani (ginger lemonade) is STRONG with the ginger flavor which I love. The mango lassi is super fresh. And the rice Kheer (rice pudding) is perfection. Starters are pretty strong too like the samosa, curry fries, and 69 (sauteed chicken that's a house favorite for a reason. Flavors are strong and perfectly balanced!). Service can be very slow. We usually have to wave someone down to get refills or a check. But overall they're nice. Love the decor in the place; the lamps, in particular, are stunning. It can be a little dark in there, emphasis on the mood lighting, but maybe it's better in the daytime as I've only been there for dinner. Place is in a shopping center so parking is a breeze.
