Food: 10/5 Service: 10/5…read moreAmbiance: 10/5 My husband and I shared a combo #five plate - he got chicken tiki masala. I got mushroom masala. The taste completely blew our mind. So many vegetarian options. The staff was very friendly and you can tell that a lot of care goes into the making of this food. It is made to order. The ambience is fun - they played great music. We will definitely be back.

Ordered dinner plate combo with chicken makhani and aloo gobhi with $1 upgrade to garlic naan…read more Portions were small, chicken makhani at this location isn't as good as the SD nor the Anaheim locations. It tastes the same, but it wasn't very saucey. They also gave me plain naan when I paid for garlic. I didn't know until I went home and opened the naan. Also, the naan wasn't fun to eat because it got hard and chewy in a span of about 15 min. I guess it's best to eat right away. I waited about 15 min for food to be ready. There was one other guest in the restaurant when I arrived, but there are a few tables for sit down. The restaurant has some bowls for bogo on uber eats/postmates so they spent most of their time packing those orders. Most likely won't come back to this location again.

If someone asks where to go for South Asian food, I always suggest The India Restaurant. The food…read moreis great, the service is friendly, and the restaurant is cozy. Diving into the details - the restaurant decor is quite formal and has always been kind of surprising to be given that I often come for casual meals. The staff are well dressed in white button ups and always very polite so it's good vibes all around. If you know me, I'm nothing if not predictable. I always get the butter chicken and unapologetically so. IT IS SO GOOD. I refuse to be shamed into trying other things and if that makes me basic, so be it. In case you haven't guessed, I'm also always getting their garlic naan as well. I've tried other dishes before but nothing beats the chicken. One thing I will say is the spiciness fluctuates every time even though I always ask for medium so do with that what you will.

The India Restaurant is located in Artesia on the block with all of the amazing Indian restaurants…read more My boyfriend and I were somewhat in the area, and we made a slight detour to explore the area. This was such a great spontaneous discovery. They have a small parking lot in the front where we parked, but then we saw later on that they also have additional parking in the back if you don' see spots in the front. Upon entering the staff was welcoming. The gave us a few tables to choose from that were cleaned and appropriate for 2 people. I just want to say service was impeccable our whole time there. Everyone on their team took turns checking on us, making sure our waters were refilled, and that we had everything we needed to enjoy our meal. So nice!! As we explored the menu, we saw the combination dinners that allowed us to get more variety, which we love. We both picked a different combo so we could share and try more things. My boyfriend enjoys tandoori so he went with the Mix Tandoori Grill ($26.95) that comes with an assortment of Tandoori Chicken, Lamb Seekh Kabab, Chicken Tikka, Fish Tikka served in a sizzling platter on a bed of onions with naan, rice, and gulab jamun. So much food! I picked the India Special ($24.95) which comes with chicken tikka, the choice of lamb or chicken curry which I opted for the chicken, veg, korma, raita, rice, naan, and gulab jamun. What a FEAST!! For the naan I asked for the garlic naan and it was INCREDIBLE. Wow! Might be THEE best Indian food I have ever enjoyed. Between the two of our orders I felt like I had the variety I have when I go eat at Indian buffets. My boyfriend loved the tandooris platter. All of the proteins were cooked perfectly. I assume they were prepped separately to get to the right cooking temp. So funny because my boyfriend was eating the rice while I was indulging in the naan. Dipping the naan in the curry and the korma. Nom Nom Nom! So fun and so delicious. My boyfriend was even saying this is one of the best meals he had in a while. I was so full when the gulab jamun dessert came out at the end but it was so delicious I still ate all of it. Without a doubt the best execution of this dessert I have ever had. We will definitely be back when we find ourselves craving Indian food.

Came here on a whim while craving some Indian food…read more The owner is very obviously kind and has a good sense of humor. Ordering can be on the phone after scanning a QR code or through a physical kiosk. I ordered the Non-Veg Lunch Special which comes with rice, naan, two meat entrees, and a side salad. The highlight of my meal was the naan, which was amazingly fresh and buttery. I got the curry chicken and tikka masala which also did not disappoint. All in all a great experience for a quick meal that was able to satisfy my cravings.

Kamal always created a welcoming atmosphere, and there was also a lady in the back who was excellent with customer service (I think she still answers the phone). Unfortunately, the experience has changed recently. The person currently at the front seems disengaged and lacks basic customer service. No greeting when you walk in, no acknowledgment after payment, and no effort to check if customers need anything like water or napkins. It's a noticeable drop from how things used to be. The food is still good, which is why I continue to come back, but even that seems a bit inconsistent now. The mango lassi I had today were more watery than usual. I'll likely still visit, but it's disappointing to see a place that was once so welcoming lose that touch.

So sad this place is gone. Now it's some tacky, low energy restaurant. Really sad!!!…read more The new place had dull vibes walking in, felt like a cafeteria with mismatched plastic water bottles and pre-packaged lassi...it felt like a knock off Yantra...clearly riding off the prestige on Google and Yelp! Most importantly the menu and people trying to wait on us had next to nil for people skills. Even after pointing out what I wanted they still selected the wrong things... Wife and I spent about a year visiting artesia to get wedding garments for us and our respective wedding parties...and this was always our first stop! Shout out to the Yantra owner, Raj, and the hostess who always worked with Raj! Again, so sad to see it go...after becoming regulars...

PRETTY AMAZING FOOD. NGL... SOLID 5 STARS…read more EVERY Curry dish was EXCELLENT. Chicken, cheese, lamb All Good. Daal super delicious. Naan bread and Naan with cheese, very solid. Fried cauliflower was great. Puff pastry wasn't all that... Is what it is. ICED COFFEE was hella good Sweet dipping sauce is great Green veggie herb dipping sauce was great. SERVICE EXCELLENT.

Ive only had it from a store, so eating it from an actual indian place is wayyyy better. Its got some heat, but its actually a bit sweeter and mild. The portions are big.

Simplified version - good quality food, solid portion sizes, and a really comfortable "community…read morevibe". -- longer version below -- The food is great! The butter chicken is my favorite, I know it's the most basic b Indian food but everything I've tried has been awesome. Sangeetha's cooking has made me ok with trying some vegetarian food when I thought I'd never like any non meat-centric dish. Swing by, try something new or enjoy something old. Relevant - it's not super spicy, but that's ok to me, it's more accessible to people that might be turned off by excessive spice - I have some scorpion pepper powder that I add to bring the heat, and it doesn't hurt the flavor that I've come to love. They're not open Mondays, but hey - she deserves time off! A suggestion if I may - grab an extra bowl of butter chicken alongside whatever else you get, and throw a fried egg or two on top the next morning for breakfast. DOES NOT HAVE BANANAS! As a professional simian that is of note, but not a negative ;) There are random snacks I've never seen before, I've tried a few and have been happy with what I've sampled. The bottles of mango lassi are super tasty and for me, it helps my heartburn.

Original review: I am South Asian myself, but I was not overwhelmed by the food. I felt like it was…read morejust fine. I could've cooked it at home. I probably will not be returning, but it wasn't bad. I think non-south Asians would really like it. Edit: I was going to delete my review, but I got a private message from the owner with a ton of attitude, asking me to take this down, but I don't feel like that's ethical. I don't think three stars is bad. So just to restate. The food is not bad. But I'm not going to take this review down because I don't feel like it's appropriate for the owner to message you privately with an attitude and try to strong-arm you into taking down the review. I have left plenty of reviews about restaurants in Little India, and not once as anybody messaged me with the tone that you have used with me. So I'm leaving it up. Live and learn. Edit: I got a notification that the owner continued to add to her comment, so to answer her questions, I don't remember what I got because it was several months ago, but I remember that it was just okay. It wasn't bad but your approach to dealing with your customers is. I don't think that Yelp has the option of messaging people so you can come at them with a shitty attitude and strong-arm them into trying to change their review. You're honestly just making yourself look worse.

Food was delicious here. Been a few times now and my favorite things to order are the pani puri,…read moreand I specifically ask for an extra one with chas. The other unique and must order is the achari paneer. They have a few other fusion type dishes which were pretty good too. Th only thing I would say wasn't great, were thier cocktails, but not going here for those anyway. Service is good and better than most indian restaurants i've been to. Great spot for a date, and or lunch. Worth getting a resy if you have a bigger group. Don't sleep on this place is a must try in my opinion.

Updating my previous review. The food was very underwhelming tonight. We got the Chicken Tikka,…read moreButter Chicken Pot Pie and Lamb Biryani. We requested medium spicy - but the food came out had no spice at all and lacked flavors. Extremely Bland and flavorless ! Also, the drink that we ordered - Mango Margarita was watered down and tasted more like Kool Aid ! I hate giving lower stars to restaurants but after tonight's meal, I couldn't give this place anymore. Extremely Disappointed !
