Lal Mirch Indian Restaurant - DEMOLISHED. couldn't even get myself to take it before we ate Sagh Aloo Chicken Tandoori Chicken Tikki Masala - Indian Near Me - Studio City, California

We went to this restaurant on Father's Day for an early dinner. Although there are parking spots behind the eatery, there are very few (4 or 5). But on a Sunday, parking on the street was easy and plentiful. The dining room is elegantly decorated and bright. Service was impeccable. We were a party of 5 adults plus a baby in a stroller, and we were easily accommodated. (Though the restaurant is not accessible from the front, you can go around the back through the parking lot.) Our appetizers included potato and peas samosas and pakoras. The samosa were like mini knishes, big and stuffed with plenty of potatoes with little flavor. They were lacking the usual Indian spiciness. I honestly don't remember eating any peas. The pakoras were crunchy and satisfying. The naan included plain and onion and pleased us all. We had a mild chicken korma, a medium+ (spice level) lamb korma, a mixed grill tandoori, a medium lamb vindaloo, and a medium chicken tikki masala. We also shared a chicken biryani. The tandoori meat was seasoned and tender. The other entrees were OK, with the medium+ korma needing a little more spice. The lamb vindaloo had more of a curry color and flavor instead of the usual fiery red color. Nevertheless, it was delicious. The chicken biryani could have used more veggies and meat and more spices. Dinner with 6 entrees, 2 appetizers, 2 breads, and tax was about $175. read more

My husband and I were visiting from Las Vegas, found this place on Uber Eats and had it delivered to our hotel. It did not disappoint! The tikka masala was delicious! It was creamy, the chicken was moist, and it was so full of flavor. The naan was really yummy too & the rice was some of the yummiest basmati rice I've had. I'm so sad that I don't live closer so I could eat here weekly. But we definitely found a new place to hit up every time we visit. read more

Came on a Thursday and it's a wonderfully peaceful afternoon. Abu took such good care of us and made wonderful suggestions. I'm so glad we finally came out here, this restaurant has been one of my bookmarks! There's an absolute valid reason La Mirch has such high ratings. Ambience is peaceful, Abu taking care of us was an absolute bonus. Every dish is tasty, freshly made and bustling in flavor. Chicken was tender and moist. Not greasy. I could have eaten so much more had I not been on a personal restricted diet. My husband enjoyed everything! We definitely plan to come here again. Thank you La Mirch for your delicious meals and Abu for your exceptional service! read more

I wish I had more people around me who love Indian food so I could enjoy it more often, but when my cousins said they wanted Indian, I knew exactly where to go. From the moment we walked in, we were honestly most impressed by the service. It was warm, friendly, and genuinely family like, and that alone would bring us back. The food absolutely delivered as well. Everything we tried was impressive, full of flavor, and clearly made with care. You can really taste the quality here. There are no shortcuts, just authentic dishes done the right way. The reviews truly match the experience. This is a must try. read more

Very solid. If I lived closer it would be a weeknight staple.! Pros - good range of curries. Including Jalfrezi which is harder to find for some reason. Nice service, friendly staff. He was also nice to see the restaurant half full on a Sunday night - everybody enjoying their food. Cons - each curry we tried seemed on the sweeter side which made them all taste fairly similar, no beer, naan was on the thin side and not as fluffy as I enjoy but it was still fabulous. Definitely one of the better Indian restaurants that I've tried in LA. read more

It's special whenever my wife and I have a date night to ourselves. I chose Indian since it had been too long. Lal Mirch popped up in Yelp and away we went. It is a gem. The meter on the street rejected credit card payment so when we entered the restaurant I took out some paper money and explained the reason to the man in the front as to why I needed change. He refused the money and gave me 4 quarters. Who does that these days?! It kept getting better. Raffi and Abu were our servers. Both were fun and personable. Raffi tested my ability to name all the dishes we ordered by name as he placed them on our table. Everything was delectable. Traditional home cooked deliciousness. We can't wait to go back. read more

First time here at the recommendation of a friend. Been looking for a good Indian restaurant. Food was fresh and tasty. I did carry out, but they did offer to bring it to the cub since it was raining. Everyone was friendly. I want to go back and try some more dishes. They're on Ventura so there's always the parking dilemma. Have never seen chicken masala biryani. It was a great spin on it. read more

I went to Lal Mirch last week for a decadent Wednesday lunch with four friends coming from different parts of L.A. Most of them had been before, but it was new to me, an exceedingly pleasurable discovery. The restaurant is large with a tiny parking lot, but I guess 1:00 on a weekday is a good time to go. I got one of the few spots, and our group was among the only customers. I gather that Lal Mirch is a popular place for delivery, and wonder if the brick and mortar is always calm. It's not a buzzy restaurant, just a quietly outstanding on Ventura Boulevard. We got a comfortable corner table in the spacious dining room, which was decked out with festive Indian-themed wallpaper. Gold with lots of scenery, plus elephants and the Taj Mahal. Service was great, welcoming and prompt. We put together a giant order, and within minutes, our table was stacked with an absolutely mouthwatering feast. It was basically a build-your-own buffet, and I went back for seconds, thirds, maybe even fourths. I don't know what it is about Indian food, but I can clear plates of it well before my body notices I've had enough. Everything was delicious. Vegetable samosas were superb, crispy and flavorful, served with mint and tamarind chutneys. The masala fries were addictive, golden fries smothered in masala sauce. None of us are vegetarian, but we got three vegetable entrees, and this felt correct. I'd never had baigan bortha before and it was fantastic, roasted eggplant simmered with fresh spices. The vegetable korma was like a nice, light curry, with a mix of veggies cooked in creamy sauce with garlic, ginger, coconut, and mild spices. The sagh paneer was classic, spinach cooked with homemade cheese in a creamy sauce. We rounded out our lunch with some chicken tikka masala and lamb makhni. I'm basic when it comes to Indian food, and chicken tikka masala is my go-to dish. The version here was as good as any I've had before, the chicken cooked with ground cashews and that creamy, tomato-rich masala sauce. The lamb makhni was also deeply satisfying, tender lamb with ground cashews and a creamy butter-based sauce. Both the plain and garlic naan went well with everything, as did the fluffy rice, which I threw down my gullet with all those delectable sauces. I didn't realize how much I'd eaten until dinnertime rolled around and I was still full. The next time I ate was at lunch the next day, and I never felt a single pang of hunger. This was a tremendous meal, and I very much look forward to my next visit to Lal Mirch. read more

My family and I are obsessed with this spot or Indian food! Lal Mirch has become our go-to for the past couple of years--it never disappoints with their magnificent service and romantic atmosphere in the restaurant. We usually order for to-go, but our last experience with Abu solidified how tough it is to try other Indian restaurants elsewhere. We got the chicken tikka, chicken tikka masala, paratha, tandoori roti, chicken korma, fish madras, and saag paneer along with white biryani and all the extra condiments like chutneys and yogurt. It was super tough to decide what was our favorites! Everything was perfectly flavored and spiced (ordered medium, but you can play it safe with mild). This time, we realized that the fish madras is going to be a new favorite! The fish and tomatoes are sublimely cooked whereas the sauce is not too heavy but it's zingy and flavorful. Even with being fully satiated, we brought home more than plenty of leftovers. Lastly, I can't emphasize the service enough. The food came out quickly and Abu was the sweetest and provided us with the utmost care. He always offered requests for more food, drinks, sauces, and desserts--trust that you'll have the best dine-in experience with him and his team!! read more

Came around 5PM and got seated immediately, which was a great start. The restaurant itself is very nice and has a welcoming environment. We ordered the mango lassi, garlic naan, mixed tandoori, and butter chicken (medium spice), and everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavor. Honestly, every dish was delicious. What really made the experience stand out, though, was the service. Our server, Abu, was incredibly kind, friendly, and welcoming, especially since it was our first time. All the staff we interacted with were just as kind and attentive. Parking is either metered street parking or a small lot in the back. Overall, such a great experience.

I found this restaurant by watching rockstar eater on YouTube and Boy. Was he right about this place. It's technically Bangladeshi food but very similar to Indian food and it is by far the best I've had of either. Butter chicken was incredible tikka masala, incredible samosas etc. Literally every sauce every item of food was the best I've ever had. The service was incredible. Abu was our server extremely friendly and attentive. I'm already craving this place. read more

Exceptional quality, service and value. The chicken tikka was the best I have ever had. Charred outside and juicy when you cut. The garlic naan is made to order and was fantastic again the best. The shrimp tandoori was very good as well. We ordered the vegetable rice, it contained plenty of different veggies. The yogurt, the Lassi, the pistachio ice cream all were delicious. The tea blend is made in house. No wonder this restaurant was rated one of the top restaurants in Los Angeles. Extremely healthy food with a welcoming hospitality. Strongly recommended.

(7.2/10) rounded up for service) I ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala which seems to be their fan favorite. The portion was decent, and the service was genuinely warm and attentive Something I really appreciated. Heads up though, rice isn't included with the entrée so keep that in mind when ordering. Flavor-wise, the dish was good but for me personally, it was missing that extra depth or richness that makes tikka masala unforgettable. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, especially because it had a real kick of spice I've honestly never had a tikka or butter chicken with actual heat before, so that was a fun surprise. Still, compared to other Indian food I've tried, it didn't hit the same "out-of-this-world" note. Overall, I'd give it a solid 7.2/10 read more

My gf and I finished work early and wanted to catch up over a cozy meal! Lal Mirch hit the spot! We were greeted warmly as soon as we entered. And the hospitality continued throughout the service. Everything was delicious and flavorful. We tried the appetizer sampler, vegetable samosas were both of our favorite and if I could bottle up the chutney sauces I'd be in heaven. Silkiest mango lassi, so smooth, and not too sweet. Then we shared the butter lamb dish and the lamb korma, both medium spicy. Perfection, tender meat, perfect spice level. Abu took care of us and we will definitely be back! read more

The Arnold Palmer we had was a bit bitter. Chicken Butter was juicy with a nice spice level, and the curry was creamy. I went heavy on the curry so the rice didn't stand out much. The cauliflower appetizer was to die for! Amazing! Garlic cheese bread was hit or miss- my buddy thought it tasted like pizza, but I enjoyed it. Parking was awkward since the lot was full and street parking felt sketchy backing out of their lot.

Lal Mirch is hands down my favorite Indian restaurant in LA -- and the only one I go to! I've tried other places, but nothing beats the flavor, quality, and consistency here. I always order the Chicken Tikka Masala, samosas, basmati rice, and garlic + cheese naan -- and every single time, it's a 10/10. The tikka masala is rich and flavorful without being too heavy, and the samosas are golden, juicy perfection. That garlic and cheese naan? Unreal. Soft, cheesy, garlicky -- basically heaven on a plate. The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the owners, Taj and Zaman, are some of the kindest people you'll meet. They always make you feel right at home, whether it's your first visit or your fiftieth. Whether you're dining in or grabbing takeout, Lal Mirch consistently delivers. Highly recommend if you're craving real Indian food done right! read more

Wow. This has quickly become my favorite Indian restaurant. I came at the right time, was able to walk in and get a table even though the place was already mostly filled with people, which was great because the atmosphere was so lively, alongside the ambiance and general vibe of the area. The staff was all so nice, especially Abu who made sure we were satisfied at all times. It really made such a difference to have such an accommodating group of workers. The food was delicious. 10/10.

Hands down the best Indian food in town--no contest. And yes, I've been everywhere. The flavors are spot-on, the dishes are consistently excellent, and nothing feels rushed or careless coming out of the kitchen. The service is just as impressive.
