The best Indian restaurant in West LA…read more The food quality is top notch, it's delicious and the service is friendly. We ordered the chicken tikka masala medium spice and it was spicy in a good way. We also ordered the half chicken tandoori which was very moist and flavorful. Lastly, the prawn biryani was exceptional. They give you 4 jumbo prawns and the rice was aromatic and flavorful. The restaurant has a modern feel, clean and comfortable. The restaurant is a bit hard to find. They are located on the 2nd floor but they are worth taking the trip for. The restaurant offer parking validations during the weekdays and free parking on weekends. If you have a hankering for some excellent Indian food, Indian's oven is the place to go. The owner Shams is warm and hospitable.

But at the beginning I found it's best around 11am-12. They make fresh naan on the spot and it's unlimited just ask and they'll make you another! So fire. Also unlimited rice pudding for dessert how can it get better? And the mango lassi ooooweee. It's authentic, only high quality Ingredients and service is absolutely on point.

It's been there for over 20 yrs. The lunch buffet is always fresh and good. Every dinner I've had here has been good. The vegetarian thali is really good. Sag paneer is best I've had in L.A. we love the prawns and all the chicken dinners. Please do not allow this gem to close. Its an intimate setting at nights and evenings and a good date place.

Now that we have tried it, we'll be back again soon! You know how sometimes all the dishes at an Indian restaurant start tasting the same? That is most definitely not the case here. Every dish had a unique flavor profile, and some were quite different from anything I'd had before. Purple potato ragda patty: This was by far my favorite - it was practically a work of art. Sweet, sour, savory, tangy, salty. So good, like a party in my mouth. Calangute calamari: Had a nice crisp exterior. The accompaniments, especially the passion fruit salsa, were incredible. Truffle mushroom kulcha: If you like mushrooms, you should definitely get this beautiful puffed bread. Asado branzino fillet: Slightly spicy and salty, more filling than you might expect Butter chicken: A well done Indian standard Pheni nest: A delightful, sweet but not too sweet dessert. Loved the contrast of textures They have a charming outdoor patio, and service was helpful and attentive.

A friend and I had been waiting for months to come here and were prepared to be blown away but the…read moreexperience was honestly pretty meh especially for what we paid. Cocktails were gorgeously presented but some flavors (like cardamom) were barely detectable. Avocado burrata chaat was also gorgeous but the three tiny drops of tamarind chutney were grossly insufficient. We asked for and received more and it really brought the dish to like and balanced all the creaminess of cheese and avocado. The lamb rogan Josh needed at least 6-8 hours more slow cooking both for tenderness as well as development of flavors in the sauce. It mostly tasted like tomato sauce. The artichoke saag was definitely the standout of the meal. We skipped dessert as nothing really spoke to us. Ambience is nice but music selection is odd - would have preferred some nice ragas to the blaring Grateful Dead and Bjork. Service was fine but our waiter seemed very unsure when we asked questions. Glad I tried this meal so I finally have an idea what Fitoor but I doubt I'll be back.

So I'm only going to rate places by the regret I will feel if they closed down. 5 stars for Chutneys because when the food is good it's on fire good. When it's not perfect because this is actually handmade food with raw ingredients it's still very, very good. Also, it's the only place with Biriyani (Pakistani Karachi style with Potatoes). I miss my mom's cooking so I am a tough sell.

Even tho we moved away, we will still make plans to travel 1 hr+ specifically to eat here every couple if months, it's that good. We've tried most of the menu at this point and even tho we have our favorites, we've never had a bad dish here. If you like Indian food, this is aist try spot. Ambiance is fairly intimate and the service is attentive but not disruptive. Parking sucks in the area and there's only a very small parking lot in the rear (like parking for 4 vehicles), but we'll usually park at a shared commercial parking lot around the corner and sneak over for an hr. If we were still local we'd probably prefer to order ahead and take it home just to avoid the lack of parking.

Everything was super tasty and seasoned. Some chicken was a bit dry but the flavour was perfect. The lassis were perfectly yogurty and not too sweet. I love potatoes, so the vindaloo had a good amount in it! Will definitely order again, thanks!
