The lighting is warm and intentional, creating an intimate, upscale vibe without feeling pretentious. Whether you're on a romantic date or just catching up with friends, the beautiful interior design--complete with subtle traditional accents and modern elegance--sets the perfect stage for a memorable meal. For dinner I kept it classic with the Aloo Gobi and Basmati Rice, and it was executed to perfection. The cauliflower was tender yet retained a slight crunch, and the potatoes were buttery soft. The rice was incredible fragrant, fluffy, and served in a generous portion. It was the ideal canvas for the rich flavors of the Gobi. The service was impeccable--attentive but never hovering. It's rare to find a spot where the visual beauty of the space matches the quality of the kitchen, but this place nails it. I'll definitely be returning to explore more of the menu soon! I recommend Banana Leaf!

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.

Absolutely loved the flavours. The dosa is made with gingelly oil, exactly how my mom makes it, that detail alone says everything.

Beautiful decor, melodious Tamil songs, everything reminds me of home :) Thank you Judy and Chef!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

VERY AROMATIC AND AN EXPLOSION OF FLAVORS. I have been to copper pot several times and the food is…read morevery good. The service has improved since they opened but it's kinda hit and miss. The restaurant is an old coffee shop and doesn't quite match the cuisine. The food is the best Indian food in the South Bay IMO. The boneless chicken biryani is consistently delicious. It is well spiced and has a mild kick. It comes with a yogurt to cool the mouth. It is visually colorful and appealing as well. It's a must order. The saag (spinach) curry is a bit creamier than I'm used to but very tasty. The andhra chicken is very flavorful and awakens all of your senses. Beware it has a spicy punch (but you knew the job was dangerous when you took it). The aloo gobi (cauliflower and potato curry) is delicious with nice texture. They are known for their dosa (enormous bread with variety of dips), which make for a nice appetizer to share with friends. All in all a go-to Indian restaurant for me. Don't expect to be pampered though as the service can be a little rough at times. Seems like it's a bit slow in terms of getting the food; for that, matter getting a menu takes a few requests at times.

I usually get the paleek paneer which is insanely smooth, tasteful, and gentle. It has a wonderful earthy taste. The butter chicken is also excellent and is a common favorite of my friends'. The potatoes side is also really flavorful and not too over boiled. Additionally, the service and atmosphere is phenomenal and everyone there is incredibly sweet and kind. Urvi was so, so kind and welcoming. Wonderful restaurant, I will be here monthly, if not, more!

It's where I tend to order from whenever I'm craving Indian food. It's located in a strip mall right off of Hawthorne boulevard. It looks like an Indian grocery store but there are hot foods and a kitchen in the back. There are also a couple tables with chairs if you care to eat there. I ordered garlic naan and saag paneer and lentils The owner is very nice and we chatted a bit while I waited for the naan to be cooked. He also said the chair tea was free so of course I had some but man did it keep me up at night. My friend loves coming here to buy their samosas. Only giving 4 stars because I do wish the store with bigger.

Yes. It's close to my work. Price is good and they also have desserts that I want to try next time.

The menu has added new items such as Chinese influenced Indian dishes. We ordered our staples: chicken tandoori, tikka masala, naan, biryani. We loved every dish. The tandoori might be the best I ever had. Everything is fresh, bursting with flavor and fragrance. It's one of those meals that you walk out of building overflowing with life and energy. So happy with the restaurant.

Ordered this on DoorDash, so I can't speak to the ambiance or service. We ordered in the evening…read moreafter craving momos, and they were the first spot we found that had them. We got the mild spicy chicken momos and the medium spicy chickpea curry (channa masala). If I could redo it, I'd probably switch the spice levels, go medium on the momos and mild on the chickpeas. The curry had a real kick, and I think milder would pair better with rice for smoother sailing. Overall, the food met our expectations. Interestingly, the momos actually tasted better the second day, the sauce felt more balanced after sitting overnight. We'd order from them again. Not a top-tier, must-save spot, but solid and dependable. My only real complaint is the garlic naan, $4.50 for about 1.5 smaller pieces felt skimpy. At that price, two full pieces would feel more reasonable. Naan is kind of foundational, like an Italian restaurant being stingy with bread. It just leaves a slightly off first impression.

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!
