You can also check into Yelp for a free soda. * Chicken Tikka Masala 5/5 - Best item we got. The yogurt and tomato-based masala sauce was yummy. The chicken was good. * Side items 3/5 - Rice was kinda dry 2/5. Lentil Soup tasted herby and kinda bitter 1/5. Rice Pudding was yummy 4/5. * Garlic Naan 3.5/5 - More plain than garlicky. Not a lot of flavor. Good crispy texture. * Chicken Biryani 3/5 - This was alright. Kinda like a tomato-based rice. The chicken was dry and not very flavorful.

Nice local find in this rather packed busy strip mall is the same restaurant as "India's Clay Pit."…read more A good balance of flavor for the average Indian Restaurant geared towards Americanized palettes. The dishes here are good. Popular entrees such as Chicken Tikka Masala, Korma, Saag Paneer, Vindaloo, and Chicken Tandori are well made. For some seasoned diners, the spice levels may be a bit bland. Indicating Medium was far too weak. Placing an order online and or calling in was easily done. The kitchen is quick and efficient. The price point is a couple of dollars too high for most of the menu in my opinion. The dining room decor doesn't shout fine dining. The strip mall location has something to be desired and would be a greater value if a meal here wasn't so expensive. Overall, you will find this place satisfactory.

Oil was abundant and not used sparingly as I had hoped. I shared four dishes with friends and our…read morepaper bowls sucked up the oil like dry cornbread to milk. Each dish had the right conceptions of what I'd expect with Indian cuisine, but fell bland and unfulfilling. Let's just say that bland, mediocre, Indian cuisine makes me sadder than losing my bow tie at a formal event. I'm not sure the lamb was lamb, the chicken was chicken, or the vegetables were in the rice. The meats had little texture or flavor and were lost in a sea of even more blazé sauce. The shrimp saved the overall meal, but six shrimp between four people wasn't enough. This brings me to this realization: $100 of food (four dishes) and we were all still hungry. At best the dishes were appetizers.

Your search for outstanding biryani in LA ends at Biryani Kabob House. The biryani is fragrant,…read morefluffy, and incredibly flavorful. In addition to biryani, this South Asian spot makes hearty Pakistani dishes with bold spices and an emphasis on tender meat. Hyderabadi Lamb Biryani: This biryani is a magical blend of basmati rice, spices, onions, ghee, and lamb shank. The soft and luscious lamb meat easily flakes off the giant bone. The separate ingredients are beautifully layered together so the flavors are distinct and complementary. The warm spices provide great depth of flavor. On the side is a cool and creamy mint chutney. Nihari: Large tender beef shanks are slowly braised in a vibrant spice blend with onions, garlic, and ghee. The soft gelatinous connective tissue throughout the succulent meat is delicious coated in the rich and meaty stew. Tear chunks off the large chewy naan and form pockets filled with beef and gravy. Top it with raw onions, cilantro, ginger slivers, and a squeeze of lemon juice. The condiment plate here didn't have any chili peppers, but there was a little heat in the dish. 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.

I came in specifically to replenish our incense supply, we were down to our last box of nag champa. There are so many to choose from, and most right now are buy one get one free! I loaded up and also purchased a 2 pound bag of Sorghum Millet for $5 which is an excellent grain packed with protein. It took all of my willpower to not purchase the dark chocolate covered McVitties Digestive Biscuits from the UK, they really are wonderful and happy to see them in stock with many other British favorites. I also passed on the hot prepared foods, Spice District has installed dining booths, so I look forward to coming back and dining in.

The store is currently undergoing major renovations and expansion, so some products were temporarily difficult to locate, and there was some construction dust. However, Hardeep and the staff went out of their way to guide us and help us find everything we needed. It's exciting to see the vision for the new Spice District. The expanded store promises to offer a wider selection of products, a cleaner environment, and a much more organized shopping experience. We are looking forward to seeing the finished result. We also had the opportunity to try the food from their restaurant, and it was delicious. We ordered from the South Indian menu, and the masala dosa was excellent, served with flavorful sambar and fresh chutneys. Their specialty samosas were outstanding and tasted truly authentic. We also tried several sweets, which were fresh, delicious, and the perfect way to end the meal. What stood out most was the combination of great customer service, authentic food, and the passion the new ownership is putting into improving the store. We highly recommend Spice District to anyone looking for quality Indian groceries and authentic Indian cuisine. We will definitely be returning!

The menu includes bowls, small plates (chaat, pakora), dosas, rolls, and beverages. The food is cooked to order, so it's easily customizable. Rava masala dosa ($11): I asked for spicy and the batter was spicy. The dosa was extra thin and crispy. It was filled with mashed paneer, onions, and a blend of spices and accompanied by two chutneys - one coconut, one with kashmiri chili (kara) as well as a soupy vegetable kurma. Very authentic and super flavorful. Kadak chai ($5): Available hot or cold and not sweetened. Yum, milky and spicy tea. For street food, it's hard to eat but that's because it isn't served on the traditional plate with compartments for the chutneys.
