    Shrimp Biryani- LOOK AT HOW PRETTY
    Radiant S.

    Honestly, what sets this restaurant apart isn't just the flavor, it's the attention to detail in every single dish. The colors are vibrant, the spices are layered, and each bite tastes like the cook was intentional with their care. Even something as simple as the naan, which you'd think couldn't possibly be that different, completely surprised me. It had the perfect crisp exterior while staying pillowy inside This is one of those rare meals where you leave feeling like there was a party in your mouth. This has to be one of, if not the, best Indian restaurants on this side of town.

    Came here with a friend for dinner on a Sunday evening and the experience overall was good. The place is basically no-frills and not fancy at all, but not janky either. Service was friendly and prompt. We ordered garlic naan, basmati rice, chicken tikka masala, and the malai kofta. While I found everything to be fairly tasty.. I think a 4.8/5 overall is pretty high. Maybe I need to try new things there when I pay a visit next time. I also found the price point to be a bit high too honestly. I don't think it warranted a 4/5 so I still rounded up, but I think there's other Indian places I'd like to try still!

    Butter naan
    Carolina S.

    This place is easy to miss, it's located next to the liquor store and behind a pizza place. Parking situation is bad! There are only about 5-6 spots up front and the next building over has a tow sign on it. We looped around about 5 times before a spot opened up out front. Another very strange thing is the bathroom is located through the kitchen, I've never in my life walked through a restaurant kitchen just to go to the bathroom. Moving on to the actual food. We ordered two mango lassis, they weren't fresh and tasted a bit water down. We then ordered butter naan, garlic naan, samosa chaat, butter chicken, lamb korma, plain basmati rice and aloo matar vegetables. All the food was delicious and just the way I love! Great food!

    My partner and I were craving Indian food and this definitely was a great spot to try out!! Their Mixed Grill plate came out sizzling, charring tons of onions and a delicious mix of shrimp, lamb, and tandoori chicken. That was definitely a great deal and more than enough for two people. The bhindi masala (okra), chicken biryani, chicken makhani, and garlic naan were perfectly seasoned. Service was also great--the owners checked on us frequently which was a nice touch since they were cooking in kitchen as well. Super excited to return to try out more items on their menu.

    I've passed by Tandoori Eats numerous times and had been curious to give it a try. I finally got to give it a go recently, ordering take-out to go. The restaurant is quite spacious and empty when I went to pick up, but to be fair, I went in the mid-afternoon just before it was to close until dinnertime-- I assume that Tandoori Eats gets busier during their peak lunch and dinner hours. I ordered an assortment of dishes, including chicken tikka masala (medium spicy), samosas, and garlic naan. Everything was flavorful, smooth, and delicious-- the only thing is that the chicken tikka masala wasn't very spicy for medium level, and I would've loved to have had a bit more kick to it. All the same, the food was solid and portions were generous, enough for three meals! Definitely would recommend Tandoori Eats to try if you're in the area!

    Mint chutney
    Art G.

    I returned to tandoori eats for lunch, I got the chicken saag and the tandoori chicken masala vindaloo. I also got the mint and tamarind chutneys. The saag was fantastic as it was the last time the masala was perfectly spiced. Both the dishes were filled with a lot of moist and tender chicken. The Mint chutney was especially good, with a hint of lemon. The tamarind was lightly sweet with a thinner base. The service was quick and friendly as usual. I love this place!

    Perfect experience. Our server was so sweet and we were seated immediately. The food was quick and it was absolutely delicious. The owner or chef came out towards the end of the meal and checked in with us. He was wonderful. Probably the best Indian food I've had in Los Angeles. I will go back and explore more of the menu!!

    Wow. This place is one of the best Indian meals I've ever had. First, the malai kofta. This is exactly why you ask for recommendations. The waitress, who is also the owner, suggested it and it completely stole the show. The kofta were soft potato, vegetable, and paneer balls in the most insanely flavorful, creamy sauce. Rich, perfectly spiced, and honestly mind blowing. I've never had anything like it. It was even better than the butter chicken. We did order butter chicken as our baseline and it was a solid 8 out of 10. Super flavorful curry, juicy tender chicken, plus fresh naan and fluffy basmati rice to soak everything up. But seriously, don't just default to the usual. Ask what they recommend and try something new. We're definitely coming back for the kofta again.

    This place right here all gas, no brakes. Five stars, all the way. From the moment I walked in, the service was friendly and welcoming. I ordered the butter chicken and a side of vegetables--both were seasoned to perfection. When they asked me how spicy I wanted it, I knew I was in the right spot. You could tell they really care about how they prepare their food. I added two samosas to the order solid. And that garlic naan? Whew. Garlic flavor was on point not overpowering, just right. Took it all home, pictured below. And let me tell you, the portions were generous. I got two meals out of it. I put a video below to see restuarant. This is the best indian food I have ever eaten hand down again ALL GAS NO BREAKS!!!

    The King Reigns. I've been trying Indian spots all over LA for years now, and I'm ready to call TE the GOAT. I was ready on first bite four years ago to be fair, but now we got the stats. Furthermore I just got delivery down to Torrance which took 90+ minutes and it still banged just as hard. Portions still the biggest, cost still as good as it gets, and the flavors are outta this world. Never change TE!

    No explanation needed! Total Annihilation. Nothing left, but a few grains of rice, I was saddened to leave behind

    Had an amazing dinner at Tandoori Eats. The chicken biryani was incredibly aromatic and perfectly spiced, the butter chicken was rich, creamy, and comforting, and the goat achari curry had an authentic tangy depth that was unforgettable. Excellent service and truly authentic flavors -- highly recommend!

    chicken tikka
    Deborah V.

    Food: We ordered lamb biryani, chicken tikka, palak paneer, and garlic naan. The lamb in our biryani was perfect, and the rice was also aromatic and flavorful. I'm so glad I ordered this; highly recommended! I also enjoyed having the creamy chicken tikka masala poured over my biryani; what an amazing combination! My husband and I are always fans of palak paneer and garlic naan. Service: Good and attentive. Ambiance: Casual

Not sure why, but since there have been other locations around the LA area over the past several years, maybe they're just moving again. I wish them all the best!

The portion size alone is impressive. The container is packed and feels substantial the moment you pick it up. The base is a bed of fries, and these are not just filler. They are thick, well seasoned, and sturdy enough to handle all the toppings without turning into a soggy mess. On top of the fries is a generous amount of chicken. The chicken tastes freshly cooked, with that warm, savory flavor you expect from good shawarma, never dry and never overly salty. There are pita chips mixed in, which add a great crunch and texture against the fries and chicken. Multiple sauces are drizzled throughout the dish. I chose a side of their spicy sauce. The creamy white sauce balances things out, while the orange sauce brings a mild heat and a little extra depth. None of the sauces overpower the dish, they work together to coat everything evenly and keep every bite flavorful. Diced tomatoes and corn adds a touch of sweetness that surprisingly works really well here. A sprinkle of herbs throughout helps brighten everything up and keeps the dish from feeling too heavy, even though it is definitely filling. This is comfort food done right. It is messy in the best way, packed with flavor, at least to me it was. If you are looking for something hearty, satisfying, and consistently well made, I will always recommend Anwar's Kitchen. Anwar's Kitchen delivers quality food, and I will keep ordering from them.

It was also annoying for the waitress (not the gal that served us btw - a host perhaps) to give the vibe like they were doing us a favor by applying the $50 Birthday promo that THEY send via email (note, I verbally this flagged when we arrived just in case - but they didn't initially have it on our bill). My head is thinking "calm down--we ate minimally and got drinks. Don't offer it if you're going to have an attitude about adjusting the bill". It was just weird. They also didn't offer any bday dessert treat but we weren't super pressed bc we were so full. The meat was a bit overdone and all kind of tasted the same this visit. Didn't get to try the lamb chops and a few other meats, but still has a nice variety. Salad bar is top notch and consistent, although wish their black beans were plain due to all the meat. Drinks were ok--heavy pours but lower quality wine. The $29 "Wine Experience" package was worth it for my husband who likes variety of wines with his dinner depending on what he's eating. I'm sure I'll come again but it's been bumped a few notches on my Go To list.

That stuff was soooooo yummy might be my favorite pita I ever consumed. Hummus was also good, nice balance of flavors that complimented each other well. - Grilled Octopus - Had a good amount of chew and wasn't too chewy.

My favorite dishes were the lamb neck shawarma and the blistered pita. Family style restaurant. We were recommended to order 2 spreads, 3 appetizers, and 1 entree for 3 people. We ended up doing 1 spread, 2 appetizers, and 1 entree and I'm very happy with our decision. We were soooo full after our meal. I think if we did the 2 spread and 3 appetizers as recommend we wouldn't be able to eat the entree at all. Seems like a really popular celebration restaurant (saw many graduations). We did make a reservation and I would recommend doing that. All tables were filled when we were there, not sure how the walk in situation is. Music is a bit loud inside the restaurant but I don't think it was as bad as Bestia. The outside patio was good though in my opinion.

I love how big the naan is that they give you. They make it fresh too. Even though I've tried a bunch of their skewers, this time I tried the fish karahi, which came with my choice of naan or rice. I chose naan. It was really good but it was a little too spicy for me. The cashier told me they could add yogurt the next time around. However, what really stood out is how the fish was cooked. I feel in American restaurants, fish is just cooked in a way that makes it just taste ok. However, at like Chinese restaurants, they really know how to make the fish taste amazing and have it be so plump and juicy. They make their fish like that here! The juicy and plump way where you're just like, "Wow I just want to keep eating this!" I also got a chicken roll too which is fried and crispy. Good appetizer. They also have water for free here too but I didn't see the dispenser so I just brought something from my car in. The ambiance is cozy here. Nice seating area.

Chicken Curry: Large chunks of boneless chicken thighs and potatoes are stewed in onions, tomatoes, and spices. The curry is thick and flavorful. Ordering: The friendly owner is happy to explain the dishes and offer recommendations. After you order your main dishes, you can grab beverages from the fridge or samosas from the case. When you're done eating, you pay at the register.
