Super tasty, fantastic food, the best Indian and Pakistani cuisine in the area, very cozy family environment (actually, the restaurant is run by a family - a very friendly and kind couple), clean kitchen, recently renovated, neat dining hall, a lot of orders get carried out. Prices are very reasonable and a lot of discounts and lucrative offers. Thank you Romi and team! Great read more

Between 3 and 4 stars. The parking lot is easy to get around. I didn't see anything on the website, yelp reviews, or photos to indicate there'd be a lunch buffet, but when I got there, there was indeed a lunch buffet occurring, for $18.99/person. The set up is a little odd. There are maybe 4-5 tables total, and one was being used as a workspace on the right when I came in. All of the plates, utensils, and cups were disposable. paper plates. plastic utensils. The food itself was above average, taste-wise, and the garlic naan was also above average. I had my usual of rice, chicken tikka masala, and sag paneer, and all were good, but just a bit bland, which normally would not be an issue, but there were absolutely no condiments or spices visible with which to customize one's food. There also wasn't any yogurt to speak of, so while the food was good, it was all of a similar consistency, a lot of curries, without anything fresh to juxtapose with it. The employees were very friendly, with one lady asking us a few times if we needed anything else, and at one point, taking my paper plate and saying I could get myself a new one, but it was a little strange that the whole time we were there, there were only two other people eating by themselves, and everyone else who came in seemed to be friends or family, talking to everyone, hugging, going into the kitchen, and then just chatting at a table by the door. It very much seemed like a family business, but more family than business. I felt like I was at a friend's kid's birthday and had arrived late, and was eating in the back on a folding table while everyone else chit chatted. I think this experience would have been better if the buffet was better advertised/promoted, if there were spices and yogurt, and if there were fewer non-customers present. Still, I'd probably go again. read more

Went here with my friends on a Thursday night at 6:00 pm and we got the whole place to ourselves! The food was delicious. The naan was so yummy and the lamb korma, chicken tikka masala! read more

The best Indian food! It's our go to and it never disappoints. The owners are very friendly and create a great sense of community. The *one* time a small item was missed when we had a *big* order (for a party of ten people), the owner came and personally dropped off the replacement dish and some bonus extras to save us the trip. Couldn't recommend more highly. read more

This is by far the best Indian I've tried in the valley. Chicken tikka masala is wonderful and very unique in its flavor profile. Lighter and tangier than elsewhere. So fragrant and flavorful w/ nice ginger notes ( I feel like I'm describing a wine now lol ). The naan is always fresh, crispy, and charred deliciously. Everyone needs to come try this seemingly humble joint. Srsly. read more

This place has really turned around since my last review over a year ago. They are back to the same delicious quality of food as they used to produce. They are typically on time with their food but sometimes they just get a lot of orders at once (which is great) and there may be a 5min delay. For me, it's worth it though. This is our regular goto place when we want good Indian food. The owner and his wife are very nice folks trying to keep a small business going. If you are in the area, (or not!) go check them out, you won't be disappointed! read more

Enjoyed India's Flavor for the first time a couple months ago so we gave it another go. This time ordered take out. Online menu is easy to navigate and good descriptions of the dishes. All in all, satisfied with our meal, but I do think they could put more Tofu in the Tofu Curry. I get disappointed when a dish is mostly sauce and not much substance. Anyway, we've got a tub of red curry sauce leftover so we'll extend it with additions of Tofu and vegetables for another meal. Take out order was completed on time. read more

This was the strangest "Indian" resturaunt. The Chicken Tikka Masala was not an Indian recipe. It tasted like Chef Boyardi Sauce out of a can. The samosa looked and tasted like a canned pastry puff from Pillsbury Doughboy. We were excited to eat here, but it didn't work out. The server was nice, but their conversations with other patrons were uncomfortable. With that and the food, we couldn't wait to leave. The place was clean. read more

Hmm.... If you're looking for something fast and quick, this will satisfy the Indian craving in a pinch. However, I can't say it's the best Indian food I've had. Lol! It's passable but I definitely look for thicker bases and deeper flavors when I crave Indian food. Everything here felt a little lacking in flavor. My husband and I came bc we wanted buffet lunch, which they have. You can see my photos for what the buffet offerings are. It has the essentials. But again... a tad lacking flavor. The place itself is pretty small. It was quite warm for us. The parking was free and plentiful! It wasn't the best, but we'd probably come back if we're desperate for Indian food in the area. We noticed they got a lot of takeout orders. I'm wondering if takeout is tastier. read more

Love this small, independent, local Indian eatery. Primarily order takeout and am never disappointed by how dishes are prepared, timeliness of order being ready. Dishes are always tasty, good prices, rewards program a plus. Staff always friendly. read more

I checked out this place with my friends and was definitely not expecting it to be as good as it was! The food came out quickly and the curries were great~ i enjoyed the dips & chip-like app. I think the chicken could be less dry but flavors were still there. Overall, good local restaurant to check out! read more

My wife being a big fan of Indian food, this is one of those hole in the wall hidden gems. Food taste great, always fresh and family owned and operated with great service. We been to much more fancier Indian spots but you leave somewhat disappointed. We have tried spots in burbank, glendale and the valley and this is our fav spot still. read more

Been going here for years. Food has always been good. Mali kafta my favorite along with the tandoori chicken.

Local favorite. Ambience is not great for special occasions, but the food is great for take out. We like several of their dishes including the chicken, tikka masala, saag paneer, nabartha korma, naan (several different types) and more! They've been around for 20+ years. read more

We have been long time customers tried just about every dish through the years and keep coming back weekly if not every other week. Feels like home cooking, flavors perfect generous portions, and makes amazing leftovers. Support our local businesses, eat in or order online and Romeo will make sure you keep coming back. Thank you for years of quality and smiles, see you soon. read more

I'm not sure what happened to the previous owner of India's Flavor, the food was great before. Ownership changes .... Food quality changes . I feel like the food is now just good/ok as apposed to what is used to be. The flavors are there but a little runny .... The chicken curry and chicken masala are not has thick in consistency. The chicken tikka was literally shredded chicken with some small pieces loads and loads of onions . When I dipped the Naan bread in the curry it should pick up a thick layer of sauce , it rather picked up a really runny water texture. The bag was handed to me and the lady said every thing is inside .... Ok so I leave only to get home to see that an item I paid for is missing ....called them they fixed the issue but the fact that I had to wait extra 20 minutes with half my order getting cold and having to drive back to pick up the missing items really annoyed me ! So future patron check to make sure everything is in the bag before you walk out of the restaurant. I'm going to be honest and say if you like to eat here bon appétit. My experience after eating here for years was not very good this time around . read more

Very mediocre choices, food was not warm at all, I hope I would not get sick, I have had much better Buffett choices, this would be the last time I would visit this place. Don't be fooled by Buffett, go somewhere else you would be much better off read more

My family has been going here for over 25 years and we always get good food and great service. The owner is awesome and always takes care of us. Tons of vegetarian and vegan options for the plant lovers out there. I still have to check out their lunch buffet which runs from 11:30 am to 2:30 pm daily I believe. See you guys again soon! read more

Excellent food , well portioned and appropriately priced. We do take out only so no comment on ambiance. Easy to pick up and to order

Tucked away in the La Canada, Glendale hills, is a discrete little American Style Indian restaurant that's hidden in the corner of a strip mall. If you blink you'll miss it. Lupe was fantastic in helping me navigate the menu for our ordered day before buffet work lunch. She was super friendly and helpful. We got the perfect mix of portion, selection, with enough to please everyone, which is no easy task. For my taste the garlic naan and Somosas are delightful. I prefer more spice in my Indian food. But I'm more than satisfied with the selections, portions, and price. Cutting the samosa and naan in half was a great choice. There was plenty of everything to go around. The delivery service was excellent and I must say, it's one of the few places that get your order right which seems to be no easy feat these days. read more

This dish in which the bowl came half full cost $32. Plus it's gonna promt you for a tip. You'll the judge on whether you want to spend that. I'll let the photo speak for itself. I ordered lamb tikka masala with white rice and garlic naan. Everything is charged à la cart. There were four grape size pieces of lamb in a half bowl of broth. read more

PHENOMENAL service, very kind staff here. Before, I enjoyed the Chicken Biryani dish very much so. Tonite I had the Chicken Tandoori salad. Digging into that salad was an experience--each bite delivered a crisp, satisfying crunch from fresh cabbage & cauliflower, their textures mingling w/ just the right amount of bite. Then came the star of the show: massive chunks of tandoori-style chicken, boldly spiced, tender, & a tad bit smoky, in a good way! The marinade had seeped deep, each piece carrying that signature charred edge & a warmth of spice that lingered just enough. And that, chicken of quality! Juicy, perfectly cooked, & undeniably flavorful, it had transformed a simple salad into a feast. Every forkful brought contrast--cool, crisp veggies against the deep, fire-kissed intensity of the chicken. No dressing had been needed, the flavors had done all the talking. However, I did order a large side of Raita to go along w/ my Chicken Samosa order. read more

India's Flavor is a nice option for Indian food if you live or work in the area. I think the food here is good and consistent. The spice levels to choose from is 1 to 3; with 3 being the most spicy. For my taste I always tell them "very spicy" and usually it's still mild at best - not a complaint just an observation. Overall my family and I truly enjoy the food here. Currently with Covid 19 restrictions it's takeout only. Plenty of parking in front or street. read more

Great food, cozy atmosphere. Convenient location. This is such a great spot when I must have Indian food. Staff are few, & work hard!

India's Flavor is my family's favorite restaurant (of any type) in the area. We've been coming here for years, since my kids were in elementary school (they are now adults and have flown the nest, which tells you how long we've been eating at India's Flavor.) The quality of the cooking is consistently really good, well-executed Indian cuisine. Their naan (flatbread) is some of the best I've ever had, their malai kofta (like vegetarian meatballs in sauce)are incredibly rich and satisfying, and the biryani (mixed rice dish) is out of this world. Plus they often have ras malai (my favorite dessert in the world), which is a huge plus. And the mango lassi? Delicous. The restautant itself is cozy; if you have a large group, I would call ahead to reserve a table. We've eaten in the restaurant many times, but we've also gotten delivery and done take-out. Order online, it's super convenient. Free parking in the lot. read more

Recently discovered their eggplant dish. The owner is also a great guy. This is my go-to Indian place in the neighborhood. Chicken tikka masala, fried chicken dish, naan - everything is great. So good! read more

We went there tonight with the family friends and ordered saag paneer Malai kofta and paneer jalfrezi with garlic naan, onion kulacha, peas pulao, mango lassi and cheese naan. Everything tasted so delicious! We loved it. Even the kids ate it. I'd highly recommend the food. They had a steady stream of take out customers. The owner Romeo was very kind and took excellent care of us even bringing by sweet potato chips for the kids. While on my way to the washroom I noticed that the person making the naan was using clear hand covering (and not using bare hands) and that made me very pleased. This is my second time here and I plan on coming back. :D read more

I will bestow on you two words of the best advice (in my opinion) I've ever given in my life- CHEESE NAAN. I'll say it again....CHEESE NAAN. My life has been forever changed since I stepped foot in this restaurant and ordered that plate of heaven. Seriously guys, it's so good I recommend you follow my rules: If you only have $5 in your pocket, CHEESE NAAN. If you only have time for a quick snack, CHEESE NAAN. If you are trying to decide between a much needed tube of toothpaste or feeding your starving belly, CHEESE NAAN. Generous helpings of mozzarella cheese stuffed in dough and cooked over a flame in a stone pot, the cheese melts and oozes out when you break it apart. It stretches from your mouth when you take a bite. The butter so rich and tasty. The bread so crispy. We had to make it two orders because we couldn't stop stuffing it in our mouths. As much as I would like to make this an ode to cheese naan, there are other food items on the menu that I need to mention, too. I had the lunch buffet, which I told myself I wouldn't do. I tend to get a little excited over Indian buffets and I wasn't in the mood to drive home stuffed. But for about $13/person, I couldn't resist. The buffet was smaller than other Indian buffets that I've been to but still had the staples- tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, curry chicken, and some veggie masala options. The flavors were more subtle than other restaurants I've been to but still delicious. I was missing that "pow" of flavor I usually expect from Indian spices. The garlic naan lacked garlic flavor. We should have probably ordered a third plate of cheese naan instead of the garlic one. The restaurant is located in a strip mall and there should be ample parking. The restaurant itself is very small, probably less than 10 tables total. It's not ideal for large groups. It can get crowded during peak hours. read more

My first time eating at India's Flavor was incredible! The food was amazing and super delicious! I ordered the Chicken Masala with garlic naan bread and a a side of rice. I also ordered some Mango Lassi which was so good! I would definitely order the same thing again with an exception of trying some new ones too! Thank you!! read more

I went here today with my daughter for lunch and it was delicious. I haven't had Indian cuisine for several years and this was a wonderful treat to find!!! They have a nice lunch buffet that had all of my favorites. The restaurant is nice and clean with plenty of parking. The service was fantastic!! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Romeo.. It truly was a pleasure to meet him. He was so nice and so very friendly. We had the greatest conversation with him. He is very kind, and very generous with his time and thoughtful human being. We will without question be going back soon!!! read more

Spicy but tasty all at once. Ended up with the chicken tikka and samosas. Service was quick with the food packed well (carry out).

Excellent food and service. We ate inside and we were treated like royalty. Casual family atmosphere. Highly recommend eating in or take out. read more

Best Indian Food in Los Angeles! Romeo is an amazing host/ owner and Patty as well. They make the most magnificent sauces which I highly recommend purchasing for home! The Naan is perfect, homemade and delicious. The paneer dishes are my personal favorite.. Saag paneer specifically! The spices are flavors are absolutely on point and very consistent. read more

Modest restaurant of about 25 seats in a mini-mall with very limited parking. I had the lunch buffet for $21 (IIRC). I tried Vegetable Korma (Potatoes, carrots, peas), Chicken Marsala, Chicken Curry, Potatoes Vindaloo, a dal and Saag, which had a bit of bitterness, so I suspect it wasn't entirely made of spinach. I am in no way well versed in Indian food, but I thought that everything was well prepared, all of the sauces seemed well balanced and flavorful. For the most part I enjoyed it. Of the two chicken dishes, I preferred the marsala, of the two veggie dishes the vindaloo. The nan (garlic nan) was quite tasty and I took the left over away and had it for a snack later. My only (small) criticisms are that the cutlery is all plastic and there are no knives. Some of the chicken pieces were larger than bit size, the lack of a knife was felt. But, I think the food is generally good and will probably return, perhaps to try a made to order dish, rather than the buffet.I read more

The customer service was 5 stars. Hostess was able to explain the food to us, their specialties, and accommodated my special requests. She was supper effective in answering calls for to-go orders, bringing out orders to customers who were waiting outside, and giving me insight to their dishes. Ordered matar paneer, chicken biryani, curry lamb, tofu vindaloo, garlic nnaan, mango lassi. Curry lamb was my favorite. I liked that the lamb had a strong gamey taste and the meat was soft without feeling like I'm chewing on rubber. Some Indian restaurants have meat that's really tough and sinewy -- not this place. Second woudl be the tofu vindaloo. Loved the tomato flavor and the spices was just right. Perfect for my naan to scoop up the sauce. I quite enjoy the chicken biryani as well, but felt the chicken pieces were quite big for biryani. Not necessarily a complaint, just an observation. My only complaint is the garlic naan being SUPER garlicky. If you like Garlic or eating at The Stinking Rose, you'll love the naan here. There was so much the naan tasted bitter because of the garlic remnants being toasted on the naan. read more

The food is decent but the customer service was terrible. I attempted to use a Groupon that had expired the day before, knowing that it was only good for the amount that I had paid for it ($15). They adamantly refused. I contacted Groupon and filed a complaint. Never heard back. Not using Groupon or patronizing India's Flavor ever again. Thumbs down. read more

This place is just OK. They do a good job and get an order done fast the prices are a little bit high and I'm not sure how much flexibility they have their menu. This comes in to play with certain diet like Vegan or people who need to make substitutions. If you do not have special requests, I think that this is a great place. I'm all about supporting places during the Covid and this has been a staple for some of my friends. The food is prepared quick and hot but I have to question how much it is prepared advance . For instance I ordered aloo gobi And I wanted less potatoes. I prefer more cauliflower or all cauliflower is this dish at this restaurant seems to be the majority potatoes. He told me that they cannot separate the two which I don't understand. Perhaps not understand because I don't cook this meal however if this meal is made fresh why can't they use less potatoes? Great take out Indian overall read more

Mexican-Indian fusion? Wonderful food with an original twist - not like anything I've had before.
