Their second location in LA is in Hawaiian Gardens. Gorgeous interior, perfect place for a date or gathering. They have large spaces and private areas inside. The food was delicious and so are their mocktails!! Wowww I was very impressed with the double smoked apple cocktail and highly recommend trying it. All their dishes are made with so much detail. And, many of the dishes have a very visual interactive moment like their table side bhel puri, puri, or their chicken biriyani and smoked beef. From modern authentic dishes to street food they have it all. The sloppy khans were also delicious! I really enjoyed their curry dishes with the garlic naan. They have so many dishes to try! I cannot wait to come back to try their butter chicken and paneer as well! For dessert we tried their rose milk cake and the chocolate samosas. Both were satisfying and the milk cake felt really special. Huge thank you to Ali, who has such a vibrant energy about him!!!!! He really added to the wonderful experience and helps us appreciate all the details and background of the dishes as well! Cannot rave about him enough. Definitely made the experience special for us! Congrats to Khan Saab on their new location!! Come check them out!

I had high hopes for the Hawaiian Gardens location. When it originally opened as Shor, we were…read moreexcited to learn it was under the same ownership, with Chef Ali Mookhi behind the menu. The larger, open space was a huge plus compared to the more compact Fullerton location, and the new items like chapli kebabs and different karahi variations were refreshing. This easily could have become our favorite location. Unfortunately, since Shor rebranded as Khan Saab, the overall experience seems to have gone downhill. The staff themselves are always nice, genuine, and willing to help, but once the restaurant gets even a little busy, they seem overwhelmed and clearly understaffed. Compared to the original Fullerton location, especially when more of the familiar OG staff were there, the service does not feel as polished or consistent. Our last visit was particularly disappointing. We ordered chicken karahi, chicken tikka masala, biryani, and bhel puri. The bhel puri was extremely dry with very little sauce and tasted poorly balanced. Nearly everything else, including the biryani, karahi, and tikka masala, was overly salty. The chicken karahi was the biggest disappointment. It is usually one of my go-to dishes at Khan Saab, but this time it barely tasted like karahi and was more like a generic curry. I understand this location does not offer boneless karahi, which is completely fine, but the flavor and quality should still be consistent. This location has so much potential because of the space and the Khan Saab name, but the consistency in both food and service just isn't there right now. I'll probably avoid this location for a while and hope ownership and Chef Ali Mookhi take notice and bring the standards back up.

The first bite of the biryani immediately took me back to Dhaka. The Hilsa fish was beautifully prepared and tasted just the way I remember from home. It's rare to find Bangladeshi food that brings back memories like that. Thank you, Fahim, for your kindness and hospitality. It is easy to see how much you care about your restaurant and every guest who walks through the door. We're already looking forward to our next visit.

Not being super familiar with the menu items we asked for recommendations and that one was a hit. Masalo Dosa came out in this huge fry bread rolled up it was crazy big. Very delicious and not spicy at all. The Boneless Chicken Biryani at medium spice level was quite spicy especially if you added the peanut chili sauce that came on the side. But you could also add the yogurt sauce to cool it off. Tandoori chicken from the clay oven came out first and was very tasty pile of chicken. Had to ask for extra napkins for that one. Juicy tender and flavorful. Ordered the masala chai to drink and the serving was delicious I googled how to drink it and they surprised to see me mixing it correctly. It came out super hot and holding the cups was hot on the fingers. Tried the mango lime soda and the masala mint cooler and they were tasty too. The only downside was that water came in bottles and the drinks were in to go cups for dine in I prefer no plastic waste.

The perfect garlicky sauce, and such a generous portion for a lunch special. Their chicken and corn egg drop soup was delightful as well. It was piping hot, comforting, perfectly done. Their restaurant is impeccably clean and their sauce and seasonings come out per table, so those are spotless as well. I very much appreciate their detail here and their utensils were also spotless. It's so comforting to come here during a quick lunch for a fast and easy service, with a lovely lady up front offering exceptional kindness and hospitality. My food came out so quick! I will be back very soon and I'll have my friends and family with me. What a great spot!

It was not too hot or cold that day. We saved our stomachs so that we can try many DELICIOUS type of food... We came during OPENING hours at 11am. We were one of the first customers of that day. It started to get busier around 12pm. You can find PARKING on the street or the small parking lot located in the back of the restaurant... THALI: 10/10 STAR OF THE SHOW!! This dish was my favorite of all. It reminded me of a fajita. It's such a healthy and delicious dish!!! I loved the LIMA beans the most. I have trouble digesting certain foods can easily give me heartburn or bloating but, the Lima beans really helped my digestion instantly!!! PANI PURI: 9/10 What a great way to start a meal! It was this crunchy goodness! I loved the crispness and the light and airy texture. One point of because the sauce leaks so make sure to EAT it and POUR the SAUCE on a plate!!!! MASALA DOSA: 10/10 It was like a large crispy crepe filled with potatoes! I loved the taste and texture. The side dishes really complimented this dish so well. I am definitely craving for this dish again... SWEET ROTI: 8/10 It has great flavor but, it was too thick for me!!! DESSERT: 10/10 Rich and creamy! SERVICE WAS EXCELLENT!!! Not sure if they are use to seeing ASIANS but, they were a bit surprised and welcoming. The PRICES were great! The portions are generous!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND JAY BHARAT!!!!

Again, since I'm a newbie my fellow foodies did the ordering and the first round we had the Masala Dosa, Thali Plate and the Dahi Puri with yogurt. This was definitely a flavorful start and I really enjoyed everything. Second order was the sweets and we had the Rose Purfi, Penda and the Jalebi. All of them were so good and we did have more items but too many to name. I can honestly say I've been missing out and I'm sure glad my fellow foodies took me on this delicious journey. So shout out to Jagruti and Ben. Service was, I don't know because I wasn't the one who ordered, LoL. And that's my take on this Indian spot, Peace out...

I really wanted to like Surati Farsan Mart, but after giving it a chance, I don't think I'll be…read morereturning. I waited almost 45 minutes for a $9 dosa, while person after a person who arrived after I did kept getting served. I mean, if someone's just sitting there, wouldn't you try to find out what was wrong instead of just letting them sit there? All of this was frustrating enough, but I had to be the one to go up to them, even though there was like a million people working what really bothered me was being repeatedly asked for my receipt. I honestly don't even think I got one. I understand asking once if there is some confusion about an order, but after I had been sitting there for that long waiting for food I had already paid for, continuing to ask me for proof of purchase felt incredibly uncomfortable. At a certain point, instead of repeatedly asking the customer for a receipt, someone should be checking on the order and figuring out why it hasn't come out. I just think that's bad customer service and bad business. It honestly made me feel dumb as fuck when they were the ones that messed up. Realistically, why would someone sit in a restaurant for almost 45 minutes pretending to have ordered a $9 dosa? On another note, I had ordered the Rasmalai and it was quite mediocre compared to Ambala Sweets and snacks. There also seemed to be plenty of employees working, so I couldn't understand why the order took as long as it did or why no one seemed to take ownership of figuring out what had happened. Unfortunately, although the dosa was amazing, it didn't redeem the experience or how I had been treated with zero importance as a customer. I can be very understanding about restaurants being busy and food taking longer than expected. What bothered me wasn't simply having to wait--it was waiting that long while repeatedly being asked to prove that I had actually ordered instead of someone taking the initiative to find out where my food was. When I told them that I could show them the credit card charge they said that it doesn't prove what I bought and I was like yeah bro I'm sitting here with Rasmalai and Coke and I'll show you the charge is more than that. Usually, I thank people on my way out, but I couldn't wait to get the fuck up out of there. Everything left a really bad impression, and I don't plan on returning to a business that treats me I like I ain't shit!!

Emphasizing food smoked over charcoal, directly from the clay tandoor, Punjabi BBQ & Cafe is just as good as it's sister restaurant. Chicken 65 & Fish Tikka tacos- Punjabi BBQ & Cafe has an Indo-Mexican fusion section of the menu, with tacos, burritos & quesadillas. Chicken 65 is similar to popcorn chicken, and had great heat from moist chicken. The Fish Tikka was not overcooked, and when dipped in the included salsa & green sauce, packed with flavor. Keema Naan with gravy (chicken)- Keema Naan is naan stuffed with seasoned minced meat. Topped with a dollop of butter, it comes with a bowl of chicken in rich gravy and sliced red onions. Very filling! Had to take most of this home. The Keema Naan was a hearty, stick to your ribs entree. The chicken was easy to tear apart, and combined with the naan, onions, and a dousing of gravy, a joy to the senses with each bite. Afghani Malai Chicken Tikka & Haryali Chicken Tikka- The highlight of the visit, the skewers of chicken were a hit. The Haryali Chicken Tikka was tender, juicy & spiced well. The Afghani Malai Chicken was a tad dry, but with the addition of tamarind or mint chutney, pleasing to the palate. To end the meal, a glass of refreshing & sweet mango lassi was perfect on a hot mid 90's August day. In addition, a piping hot cup of masala chai during the meal was a soothing palate cleanser between bites. Service was good. The wait wasn't too long for the food to be ready. A good amount of table seating inside, Punjabi BBQ & Cafe is just a few buildings south of Curry Lounge. Parking is metered street parking (free on Mondays), residential parking or at paid parking lots/structures in the area. The owners of Curry Lounge have opened another great restaurant in Little India. Punjabi BBQ & Cafe has most of the same menu, but specializes in grilled meat from the tandoor oven. I look forward to coming back, having the difficult task of deciding whether to eat at Punjabi BBQ & Cafe, or at good ol' Curry Lounge. Either way, it's a win. Highly recommend!
