Food not bad here as I am regular at this place. What is slightly annoying is the inconsistent pricing. Lunch special on their website says $10.99. Guy I spoke to said it was $12.14 and said he had to charge $3 something to to switch out rice for naan after telling me he would just no charge me for the naan. Total meal went to $16 and change. Not that this is a huge amount of money, but this seems to be a recurring issue as I've been to this place multiple times and it's enough to turn me off on this place. read more

Taken off guard on how good the food was. Not too rich, white rice was perfect, and tasted healthy while staying absolutely delicious. This will be a new regular spot for me at the top of my list. Keep up the good work team! Tikka Masala & Butter Chicken with a spinach dish as a side. read more

There are quite a few Indian places in this area, and none of them are amazing (I have come to learn west coast Indian food is generally dry and bland), but I keep coming back to the Indian Kitchen largely thanks to A) convenience near my apartment, and B) frequent deals and BOGO offers. They know how to play the game, even if you have to deal with a 3rd party app (it seems the majority of their business comes from delivery orders), making them more persuasive than their competitors. And I do honestly enjoy some of the more adventurous chicken items on their menu, which have a good amount of kick to them. read more

The best owner and workers. They were so welcoming during Ramadan, and they consistently follow instructions and are delicious! Highly recommend. read more

Just ordered several dishes and we were so disappointed with every single one. Not only did all of these dishes taste bland but I believe that they were made with frozen or canned vegetables. Everything tasted watered down. I couldn't finish my soup. To top it off, we got severe stomach aches afterwards. Stay away! read more

Another happy discovery in my new neighborhood. I asked a neighbor who grew up in India for her recommendation. Her instant reply was Indian Kitchen. The sophisticated yet simple decor, walls lined with multicolor pillows, is warm and inviting. We were welcomed by Raf, who answered our menu questions and advised us on spice/heat. We started with a creamy and delicious Vegetable Vegan Soup. My friend ordered the Butter Chicken (mild spice) with Paswari Naan. His go-to order is Butter Chicken and this one did not disappoint. I'm a BC newbie and it was love at first taste! The chicken was tender, but I'd be happy with a bowl (vat) of that amazing gravy!! and a pile of naan. I ordered the Lamb Biryani (medium spice) with Garlic Naan. Both of our naans were buttery and soft - and the size of an elephant ear! (Portions overall were generous, easily shared.) My biryani was very good. The lamb was tender, the rice deliciously spiced and the heat was perfect. I've never met bread I couldn't finish, but their giant naan did me in. We were served white rice but neither of us touched it. Finally, a shout out to Raf, our server and guide, who was friendly and attentive and made a terrific meal that much more enjoyable. 11/10 for Indian Kitchen! The comfortable room, reasonably priced delicious food and gracious service make for a most satisfying experience. I'm eager to try their weekday lunch specials, too. read more

I've come back twice now, both times for takeout, ordering ahead via the website. The first time was just a few weeks after my original review, and again, I felt like they under spiced my order, despite ordering it at the highest level. Not bad, to be clear-- it was still delicious-- but I was surprised. More recently I ordered from them again, and ordered the same meal at the highest spice level again. ...I guess someone told them that some white boy was talking smack (/light hearted). I certainly felt it this most recent time. Still amazing food, amazing service, and an amazing restaurant. Would 10/10 recommend. read more

They should be ashamed to serve food of this quality. The dal, arguably one of the most basic and fundamental dishes in Indian cuisine, tasted stale and old. When a restaurant can't get something as simple as dal right, it raises serious concerns about the overall quality of the food. Very disappointing.. I'm turning to the store bought achar after spending twenty five fckn dollars on a daal that's probably 3 days old and somehow still burnt read more

I got takeout and the delivery service was very quick which I appreciated. The paneer and naan were delicious. I especially love the mango lassi. I will definitely be going back and would love to dine in next time. read more

I come here often. The buttered chicken and samosas are amazing. The service is always very good.

I give them a 1000/10! Best Indian food I've ever had. My boyfriend and I have been going here over 5 years. The food is always so delicious, authentic and consistent . The prices are also reasonable. We usually get the chicken tandoori, chicken tikka masala with some fresh garlic naan bread. My boyfriend really loves the cheesy naan as well. The inside is so relaxing and the service is always friendly. Shout out to Sam for the amazing experience we had there this past weekend. We will back soon! read more

Good food, big portions and quick service! I came here with a co worker randomly. We were just walking around the city and this place caught our eye as the décor is very fun. I let them know ahead of time we only have an hour and the assured me that is enough time. I am not very familiar with Indian food so I wanted to try the lunch special, I got the Tandoori Thali that comes with rice and nan. It was huge and delicious! The food came out in around 10 minutes and the soup with the lunch special came in 5. The garlic nan which we got on the side was also to die for!! Our waiter was great as well attentive when it came to time. The amount of food we got could easily feed 3 hungry people or 4. I am not good with spice so I asked for my food with mild spice. The only reason I took off one star was because I felt it could have been a little more flavorful even with the mild spice aspect. Overall 4/5 and highly recommend! read more

Adding another review from trying some other great items off the menu. The Chana Saag Dinner was absolutely delicious and paired very well with the garlic naan. Not too spicy at all. The Chicken Tikka is influential! Only wish they gave you more pieces of chicken. The Raita is a great pairing for both the Chicken and the Naan. read more

I was a long-time online order guy, but now that I live closer I've been able to eat at the actual restaurant. Cozy! Very clean and calming to be in. The food is also great. They give you a free cup of veggie soup to start. If I take something home, they re-up the rice. The hostess is lovely, remembers you, and gives good suggestions. I came here to eat dinner and do some work on my computer and it was a vibe. read more

Super cozy, delicious Indian place! I was nearby and because this place was open after 9:30pm, I decided to stop by and 100% happy that I did! The waitress person and staff members were all nice. I ordered chicken tikka masala, garlic naan, and tandoori chicken. All were big portions, I was surprised. All these were so tasty. I'll come back again! read more

A Yo!!! Have y'all tried the Vegetable Samosa's form The Indian Kitchen?!?! They were super Deelish and came with a Tamarind Sauce and Mint Sauce. They were open super late too like passed 10:30. I ordered 2 and is was only $5. i suggest you check the place out if you want some Bomb Ass Samosas! That's all, Bye! Oh and the Staff was super nice and there is a 2 level parking structure to the Right of the restaurant read more

The BEST Indian food we've had since we moved to the City of Angels! Everything was TOP NOTCH - with the exception of the Saag Paneer. The Spinach had a strange taste - however, the Malai Kafta was impeccable! I would absolutely go back again for their delicious Indian food!! read more

We had the following dishes and they were all spectacular: * Butter Chicken * Chicken Tikka * Saag Paneer read more

I'm generously giving it three stars because it is relatively clean and the staff were very nice (even though I clearly didn't like the food and when they asked me why I wasn't eating it, I explained and they agreed, but nothing was offered or corrected). The food doesn't taste like Indian food. It just tastes like garlic. The way the temperature was behaving indicates that it might be microwaved. The dishes came out extremely hot, steaming, too hot to eat and then cooled down very quickly to being cold - exactly like microwaved food with do - mind you it is over 90° outside so it didn't cool off like that because of the weather. The soup tasted like soup packets, and the vegetables were small like they had been rehydrated or maybe they came from frozen bags. Either way the soup did not taste fresh. It tasted like a Knorr packet and there was nothing Indian about it. Just a normal vegetable soup in which they added a ton of garlic. I would give the soup a zero out of 10 and I only had two sips of it. Should have been refunded. The spinach dish dishes were large chopped spinach leaves, NOT Indian style and did not have any Indian flavor at all. It felt like just frozen or even premade food, to which they added garlic. The Aloo Gobi had no curry flavor at all. It only tasted of garlic, and the vegetables were looking and tasting like frozen vegetables from a bag, not freshly restaurant made. The naan was undercooked. And the chutneys had lumps and a lot of watery separation. There wasn't one single thing that was good. I think they either don't have a professional chef or their chef is very lazy. The fact that their motto is "the most authentic Indian food in West Hollywood" when the food does not taste Indian at all, it tastes more Italian if anything, because of the garlic, is quite funny read more

Given the gloomy LA weather today, Indian Food sounded like a good idea. The Indian Kitchen's solid reviews and their $45 dinner for two drew me in. I ordered online and picked up my food 45 minutes later. Standouts: The Samosas were excellent and hearty. I loved the Saag Paneer, it wasn't too runny and the flavors were spot on. My boyfriend loved the Tikka Masala, even though I felt it was a tad too sweet. Didn't care for: The naan and rice weren't anything too special, just okay. I also would've liked the Raita to be a tad runnier and not so thick. For $45 you get 2 Samosas, 3 entrees, sides of rice and naan and dessert. It's a great deal and plenty for two people. Service was super friendly and even though they didn't have a parking lot, I was able to snag some street parking around the corner. I would definitely come back to try some other items. read more

Why is this restaurant not busier? High quality food at very reasonable prices. Service is friendly and attentive. The decor is conducive to both a business lunch and an evening date. I particularly enjoy the lunch specials - enough for two meals at less than $20. A true neighborhood gem. read more

The Indian Kitchen on Santa Monica Bl in West Hollywood is a small restaurant that prepares Halal Indian food. My last review was over 4 years ago and it's time for an update. I've never eaten inside the restaurant because parking is limited in the immediate area. Once I picked up my takeout order, and the cashier/manager was not cordial, lacked civility, so I knew to avoid dealing with him in the future. The Rest of my orders been mostly delivered via an app service. This evening's dinner was via GrubHub and the delivery was on time, the delivery person was pleasant because I made it easy, meeting him at the Maybourne hotel driveway. After zapping every dish in the microwave to kill any potential COVID virus, I plated each dish in a small utility bowl. I can't stand eating from any containers: paper, styrofoam, plastic and plastic utensils, hell no! I want dinner plated in a civilized manner, I enjoy it more. The best Indian foods I have had, had always been in London. I was informed that years ago, the English royals and British elites hired the best chefs from India and moved them to England to serve as their cooks and so that's why the best Indian cuisine is in England. Don't know how much truth there is to that story, but evidence is in the indian cuisine, all so tantric delicious. Since my love affair for indian food in England, I have not really found any restaurant that closely prepared Indian cuisine as good. Some restaurants are excellent at one or a few dishes and others are not close, food is inedible. In my past orders, The Indian Kitchen has prepared some of the best Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Kurma and Saag Paneer. I recalled the flavors and craved it. Kept it consistent and repeat ordered the chicken Kurma, Saag paneer. New order was the Eggplant Burtha, aka Began Burtha at some other places. While thesis eggplant dish was good, it was just ok, missing was that smokey toasted aroma flavor. I was not a fan of raisins in the eggplant dish, didn't care for that sweet surprise. The Saag Paneer is ok, but was not as good as before. This was too watery and bland, really missed the authenticity. Usually if an indian restaurant can't get this dish right, it's an epic fail, and this Saag paneer was not good. The best of the three entrees is the Chicken Kurma. Kurma, aka Korma is a creamy, rich sauce with cashew nut, ginger and other mild spices. The sauce was perfect not watery, and the chicken was tender fresh, not precooked or rubbery hard. Had I know the other dishes would be a flop, I would have just ordered this Kurma. I hate gambling and losing bucks on food, so wasteful. While all these entrees looked appealing only the Chicken Kurma was the absolute star and worthy of my recommendation. Saag Paneer was such a disappointment and I will never repeat order, as with the Eggplant dish. Even the saffron rice was not satisfactory, almost day old rice awful. Looking forward to the end of COVID so I can have amazing indian cuisine in London. My generous 3 star overall, versus a disaster 1-2 star was helped by The 5 star Chicken Kurma dish ALONE is worthy of my recommendation. read more

I have never been to this restaurant, but have it delivered constantly since first eating it a a friend's home. It's so far and above any Indian food I've eaten - even in other cities. It's fresh, perfectly spiced, and delicious! After my first experience, I decided to compared it to my favorite Indian restaurants by ordering exactly what I typically order. Everything was far superior to any restaurant I'd experienced in the past. Overtime, I started trying different dishes and I'm never disappointed. read more

I just ordered from "The Indian Kitchen" from Uber Eats. Overall, it was both good and disappointing. I usually play it safe with Uber Eats, but today I was craving Indian food, so I ordered chicken samosas and naan. The chicken samosas were excellent, very big! I'd definitely order them again! However, the naan was bad. The bread was not only bland, it was also extremely soggy. I would say that you receive a generous portion of naan, but what's the point if it doesn't taste good? I've never had bad naan before, so I was quite disappointed. Giving it 3/5 stars because the samosas were great! read more

For the past year and a half, this is been not only my go-to spot for great Indian food, but also my go-to spot for quick fantastic food in general- my partner and I would order from here every two weeks or so. Around early November, however, something has changed- and not for the better. All the food has completely lost its flavor! The tikka now tastes like sweet ketchup, and a medium to high spice tastes like what used to be mild. The biggest change is in the naan and samosas- the garlic naan is now a plain, flavorless naan with a piece of cold minced garlic sprinkled on it after baking, and the samosas, as far as I can tell, just have no spice at all. Even the rice, which used to have spice in it- I remember occasionally finding a whole clove, even!- now tastes like styrofoam. We waited a month or so before ordering again, and as of early December, I'm sad to say whatever changes were made seem to be permanent. We'll be looking for a new place for Indian food, and will wait a few more months before ordering here again, in hopes whatever is happening in the kitchen works itself out. Here's hoping! We love this place, and hope to become regulars again!! read more

Came to The Indian Kitchen with my husband and father in law on our lunch break on a recommendation from our friend and we had a great experience. We got the spicy tikka masala and kabobs along with some samosas. The chicken was spiced beautifully. Everything was DELICIOUS. Plus the owner came to our table and we had a really nice conversation. Hope to be back soon :)! read more

I ordered through Postmates because they were offering a BOGO free deal on a few items, which seemed like such a good deal to pass up. Ordered my usual Indian food go-to's: butter chicken with a side of rice, garlic naan, and mango lassi. I was so disappointed with my order. :( The butter chicken was bland and the meat was dry. The garlic naan was bland as well and seemed like it was straight out of a microwave. Their saving grace was their mango lassi which tasted great (what my one star is for), but they put it in a food container instead of a cup w/ straw... it's like drinking soup? So awkward. read more

This place absolutely never disappoints me because they're always consistent and the food is always FRESH!

I won't ever cheat on this place again! Thank you for making FRESH FOOD! read more

I'm so shocked how good this Indian place would be! They don't seem to look like they get busy we stayed about two hours doing peak dinner time and 2 other parties were sat so this is a good find! Especially since they have free parking! The service is great, the boys here are always checking in and refilling drinks. Speaking of drinks! U can bring ur own alcohol inside because they don't sell alcohol. With all this seating u literally can have a party! I might just consider it. Haha I don't think anything we ordered was bad. They give rice complimentary. I have nothing bad to say about these guys! Deff will be back read more

Ordered delivery from this place and I thought the food was just okay. We ordered the aloo naan, chicken tikka salad and the tikka masala dish bundle. I'd say the aloo naan was probably the best tasting out of the items we ordered. The chicken tikka salad didn't even come with any type of dressing and the tikka masala was a bit too tomato sauce tasting for my likes. The food wasn't bad but I'll probably look to try other places for Indian. read more
