Your search for outstanding biryani in LA ends at Biryani Kabob House. The biryani is fragrant,…read morefluffy, and incredibly flavorful. In addition to biryani, this South Asian spot makes hearty Pakistani dishes with bold spices and an emphasis on tender meat. Hyderabadi Lamb Biryani: This biryani is a magical blend of basmati rice, spices, onions, ghee, and lamb shank. The soft and luscious lamb meat easily flakes off the giant bone. The separate ingredients are beautifully layered together so the flavors are distinct and complementary. The warm spices provide great depth of flavor. On the side is a cool and creamy mint chutney. Nihari: Large tender beef shanks are slowly braised in a vibrant spice blend with onions, garlic, and ghee. The soft gelatinous connective tissue throughout the succulent meat is delicious coated in the rich and meaty stew. Tear chunks off the large chewy naan and form pockets filled with beef and gravy. Top it with raw onions, cilantro, ginger slivers, and a squeeze of lemon juice. The condiment plate here didn't have any chili peppers, but there was a little heat in the dish. Chicken Curry: Large chunks of boneless chicken thighs and potatoes are stewed in onions, tomatoes, and spices. The curry is thick and flavorful. Ordering: The friendly owner is happy to explain the dishes and offer recommendations. After you order your main dishes, you can grab beverages from the fridge or samosas from the case. When you're done eating, you pay at the register.

After being ejected from our usual Indian restaurant by the rude staff on Valentine's Day of all…read moredays, my wife and I searched for a better/more suitable option to continue our tradition of having Indian food on the 14th. Thankfully the internet sent us to this gem. The portions were HUGE. So large, that this amazing vegan pre fixe dinner for 2 fed us both TWICE. So while the prices were higher than our previous favorite, this ended up being a better value. We noticed from an online menu that they used to have a mango coconut curry. The server informed us that they've since trimmed things down as some people felt the old menu was too vast and varied to navigate. They still prepare most of the dishes, which is great. While it had great flavor, the curry came up a little short since it only had tofu. When I reheated it the next day and added sautéed kale it was incredible. Next time, I'll add veggies! The eggplant and the daal were amazing. They also gave us a giant heap of their homemade hot sauce. We ended up taking it home since there was so much leftover and it's been making so many things in our kitchen taste better! Looking forward to returning to try the rest of the menu. They don't serve alcohol for religious reasons, which may be an issue to some.

From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with warm, friendly service. It's clearly a family owned business that takes pride in creating a welcoming, family oriented atmosphere. The staff was incredibly helpful, generous, and attentive throughout our visit. As for the food, everything we tried was excellent. The chicken tikka masala was rich, flavorful, and perfectly spiced, while the garlic naan was fresh, soft, and the perfect complement to the meal. A couple eating next to us recommend the duck which was packed with flavor. We also tried the carne asada burrito and fish tacos, both of which were delicious and generously portioned. It's rare to find a place that combines outstanding food with such genuine hospitality. This restaurant exceeded expectations in every way, and I'll definitely be making the drive again. Highly recommended!

This is for a to-go order. We got aloo paratha, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, garlic basil…read morenaan, and plain basmati rice. We also wanted onion baje but they didn't have any. The two entrees and potato dish were excellent. The naan was just okay. The last time we came here (pre-covid) the interior was beautiful and somewhat of an elegant setting. We were shocked when we walked in last night. It looks like it's going out of business. Dirty tabletops, no nice tablecloths or centerpieces like before. And the front door - jeez guys - get some windex. It is sooooo filthy it almost stopped us from going in. There's a lot of great Indian restaurants around and maybe covid hit this one extra hard. The food, as I said, was really good but the interior really gave me pause. .

Boy. Very bad. Would not recommend you order , and I warn you direly, please don't eat in…read more The paneer tikka masala was very watery, and sweet, like they added sugar to it, and the paneer had that weird chewiness to it like halloumi; definitely doesn't seem like fresh paneer. Chana masala was slightly better, but that's not saying much. Everything seemed premade, like microwaved or something. Service was also dreadful. All the food was sitting there in the buffet but we ordered and than had to wait about 10 minutes for... I don't know what. I guess they had to microwave the naan? There was only one other customer that came after us, got served before us, and left while we were still waiting. The fella behind the counter was very uninformed: didn't know what the food was. Ambience also very very bad. We sat down, which was a mistake; they only had plastic bowls and tiny tiny plastic spoons. They have kinda cool paintings on the walls, but the TVs that show the menu are all beaten up and glitchy, and they didn't have half of the stuff that the menu advertised. Very strange place.

The hours of operation seem too good to be true, like, there is actually a place where you can get falafel no matter how late you get out of work. This is a throwback to NY or European and Middle Eastern culture where restaurants stay open throughout the night.. As the other review mentioned, yes, the restaurant shares a store with a taco joint, which goes to explain the odd hours. I actually had a bit of trouble ordering, until my friend had the brilliant idea to order through uber eats and chose to pick up. It seems the restaurant gets most of their business through delivery orders. The falafel once we got it was out of this world. Crispy and light on the outside, smooth and savory on the inside. I wanna try the Free Palestine sandwich next! Definitely will be back to support this burgeoning business.

Salam Falafel is a new restaurant that I've been eyeing for a few days now. In the meantime,…read morethey're open from 8PM to 5AM (perfect hours for those participating in Ramadan) and they share the same kitchen and restaurant as Baja California Taco. This restaurant specializes in falafel and boy, they are yummy. It's hard coming home from work around midnight and not being able to fulfill any cravings because everything would be closed; so this was perfect! The door was locked and the owner was inside and had to open it for me. We chatted a little while he put together my falafel sandwich fresh off the grill. Everything was take-out only so there was really no ambiance to base anything on. The falafels were crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside and I asked him to add all the sides in there, which looks like cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, hummus, and a spicy sauce mixture. I would love to see their menus expand at some point in the future, and this side of town could really use some more delicious Middle Eastern food! Would definitely come back again! P.S. It's so hard taking good pictures of a falafel sandwich

I visited Crown of India for dinner with a colleague as we fought up on all things work and life…read more The conversation was amazing but the food was a true compliment to our evening.

While it may not look like much, this Indian restaurant is actually pretty good…read more Sure, from the street it looks like generic and low-rent, and inside it looks like every Indian place I've been to, both here in L.A. and in New York / New Jersey. But the food is not generic nor low-rent. I had the lunch special, and picked the Vindaloo Chicken, which was tasty, and had quite a kick (I asked for medium, so be warned). It also came with a veggie, and I chose chickpeas, which also came in a delicious sauce, but was not spicy. There was also a salad, which was just some lettuce and dressing, though it was good. Oh, and the rice, the rice was good. I also ordered buttered naan, and while I wish it didn't have so much butter on it, it was still really good, chewy and soft and flavorful. Oh, and everything was super hot when it came out. Clearly, it was not pre-made. As for the place itself, while, as I said, it didn't look like much, it was clean, and the staff were friendly and attentive. Parking, however, may be an issue, as it's in a mini mall, and the spots were all gone when I got there (noon on a Thursday). Though I found street parking easily enough. Will I go back? Don't know. There's a place I like better, but their service sucks, so I'm kind of torn. But maybe.
