It also came with green chutney and pickle on the side for something light and tangy to complement the chole. Also got a mango lassi to go which was refreshing and not too sweet! Service: The owner of this restaurant was so nice and came out from the kitchen often to check on me and another customer. He also asked if the food was good at the end. He was so welcoming and attentive! Ambiance: The restaurant is large with many tables. There's a sink to wash your hands but no bathroom. That would be the only slight inconvenience. For parking, there's a free parking lot behind the restaurant, so please use this! Didn't know this, so I street parked near the restaurant as there were some curbs that had two hours of free parking. Lastly, for location, this restaurant is behind and to the right of the nearby barber and pizza place. Please try this place for their delicious, hot Indian food!!

This is a completely vegetarian restaurant…read more I came here to get their spinach masala dosa because I love my spinach masala dosa from my favorite South Indian restaurant near home and I REALLY wanted to try someone else's version. We soon found out that their dosas are not gluten free. This was a really big bummer. But...good to know for anyone who is gluten free. They do put wheat flour into their dosas. We changed our order to two vegetables dishes. We ordered Bhindi (okra) fry and Saag Aloo (creamy puréed spinach with potatoes. My husband ordered a chili garlic naan. Both dishes came with a hearty amount of basmati rice. While we waited for our food, I noticed the restaurant was full of Indian people and a sprinkling of other people (including me) which I think is always a good sign when I'm ordering Indian food. True to my observation...Annapurna did not disappoint. The saag aloo was perfectly spiced and flavored and I really enjoyed the meal. The Bhindi was also very good. My only complaint is that the leftovers for the Bhindi were rather sparse! So overall i think they did a good job. I was disappointed about the glutinous dosas -- i called to double check and my favorite dosa place back home does not have gluten in its dosas. So key is always ask and don't assume there's no gluten. Even though i couldn't have the dosa, i still really enjoyed my meal. I didn't dock any points for the lack of gluten free dosa batter because my food was still very good and I felt like i wasn't missing anything. The service was very good. I want to give a shout out to Rush who was our waiter and was very helpful throughout the night. Parking lot was full. We found side street parking fairly easy.

Very sweet and tangy gobi manchurian with a rich and creamy chicken tikka sauce. Was ordering for two, would have loved to get another curry or biryani next time.

I came here on a Tuesday around 7pm! We had a party of 8 people and made a reservation in advance -…read morewe were seated immediately upon arrival in the back area and we ended up having the entire back to ourselves! We had people in our group with nut and gluten allergies and we had a vegan and pescatarian. They were able to accommodate EVERY dietary restriction and everything remained DELICIOUS. For starters, we ordered the MOMO dumplings: one veggie and one mutton. Both flavors were incredibly flavorful and I loved the orange dipping sauce it came with - it paired perfectly with it! For my main, I got LAMB SAAG. It was my very first time trying this and I was not disappointed in the slightest! Incredible flavor, great portion size. The entrees do not come with rice so I also ordered a side of white rice that went very well with the dish. For the table, we ordered KEEM NAAN, CHEESE NAAN, and GARLIC NAAN - all of them tasted great with everyone's dishes as well (if you choose to not get rice, the naan is perfect with the entree). As a lovely sweet treat, we received plates of watermelon at the very end! The perfect palette cleanser and so refreshing In terms of parking, it was a little tricky but not impossible! Definitely get there early to find parking, or try your luck searching for street parking (the street parking is free!). The total for our meal of 8 people was: ~$366, not including tip and every person got a drink (cocktails, teas, and lassis). I feel this price is an AMAZING bang for your buck, especially for a group of 8 people!! I absolutely intend to return here, it was a wonderful experience!

We ordered the Jackfruit Jalfrezi and the Daring "Butter chicken" with imitation meat. I normally am not a fan of imitation meat, but both dishes were overly. The jalfrezi had an incredible flavorful profile and I loved the tang of the gravy. The rice and garlic naan were good, but nothing memorable by themselves. My drink, the NA Indian detox was actually a smash hit. Service was friendly, but the bathrooms were surprisingly dirty/old. Maybe a byproduct of a busy day, but I definitely expect better for a restaurant at this price point (-1 star).

After 11 you have a bigger menu option as they continue the breakfast/brunch menu till 2 pm as well as dinner menu. We tried a lot of different things, benne dosa, Kerala fried chicken, Fig and walnut kofta, Masala naan and chai tiramisu. Everything was absolutely delicious! Sambhar was very authentic and the koftas were to die for! I have never had walnut and fig option but it worked so well. Our server Emilio was pleasant and efficient. The restaurant had a modern chic vibe.

After reading the yelp reviews we were really excited to eat here for our special anniversary…read more Unfortunately for an $80pp meal, we left feeling disappointed and very misled by the reviews. The food overall was very mediocre for what they charged. Actually every dish was very salty, like a mouthful of salt. The ambiance, presentation, and plating were very nice, but did not make up for the lack of 'wow' on the actual taste we were hoping for. Not only was it unremarkable, I'm not sure I would even call it delicious. It was just eh, and we ate it because we already ordered it. Honestly for a pure Indian food fix (no frills on "high end" ambiance) I would rather just go to an Indian lunch buffet for the price of one entree here, or even the Samosa house 3 item combo for less than $20, where the appetizers and food are way more delicious and fulfilling. - wagyu beef kulcha- do not recommend. Salty and reminiscent of a Mexican pizza made with ground beef. Don't be fooled by the "wagyu" label - crab bhuna- a bit of a letdown compared to reviews. The banana buns were good. The crab mixture was salty and the crab taste gets lost inside the heavily flavored sauce - gobhi bezule cauliflower- was okay. The sauce was a bit heavy - kotu parotta - mediocre flavored beef mush on the salty side. Unsure why other yelpers raved about this. - date and almond korma- the 4 little kormas were meh, but the sauce was good though. Kind of like your standard orange tikka masala sauce. - garlic naan - ironically my favorite dish they made here haha. It was actually crispy but had a fluffy chew and wasn't burnt. At least they got this right for $7 naan! Overall would not reorder any of these dishes and would not return. I love Indian food and really wanted to like the place but sadly it did live up to the 4.8 star expectations. Also random aside, when we walked in the restaurant smelled of commercial cleaning solution (like at the gas station), and the bathroom had heavy air too which made me hold my breath; would recommend some air purifier machines to neutralize the air.

Whenever I stop into Culver City, I try to stop by India Sweets for their incredible mango lassi!!…read moreI was introduced to this spot by my mom years ago who has also been coming here for years for lunches and lassis! Parking in the area is definitely a bit challenging; there's metered street parking right outside and right by the small side street by the shop but if you're good with walking there's street parking for those that take the time to look for it down by the residential apartments nearby. India Sweets & Spices is a small Indian bodega that serves fresh Indian food + drinks as well as sells essentials for Indian cuisine and other products from India like spices, teas, henna, oils, and more! We've never had any issues with staff here and its a great place to stock up on grocery goods if you cook Indian food frequently like we do. I most recently got a curry plate which was v tasty, fresh, and quickly made and ate with my friend in their outdoor only seated (covered w/ shade!).
