Arth Bar & Kitchen - Indian Restaurant in Culver City — Restaurant in Culver City

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ One of the best modern Indian spots I’ve tried in LA. Hands down.

After frequenting this restaurant a number of times, I feel it’d be good to give a review based off a couple categories important to consider when you’re looking for that next new spot.

Ambience: Super sleek and stylish interior with warm Indian touches. There’s an open kitchen, comfy seating, and two patios. It’s upscale but still casual enough for a chill night out or date night. Music is loud enough to fill the room—conversations indoors will be at a normal talking level or slightly louder depending on how busy it is.

Food & Drinks: The menu is creative and everything we tried was packed with flavor. You can never go wrong with their Chicken Tikka or Paneer Masala. My favorites here are the sexy fries and the mango lasso—I have to order these every time.

Service: Staff was friendly, helpful, and made us feel welcome the whole time. I’ve had multiple chances to speak with the owner of Arth, Mihir. His kindness and attentiveness to customers at Arth make it much easier for me to frequent and return to this place for lunches, dinners, or special occasions.

Value: Prices are super fair for the quality—most mains under $30. Great happy hour deals too (half-off small plates and drink discounts). Parking was not an issue and easy to find. There’s a parking garage extremely close to the venue that can be used and usually has many open spots.

Definitely a go-to spot if you’re in Culver City and want Indian food with a...

Loved the food there!! Chef has some talent! Very rarely you find such good Indian food in the West and this is definitely by far one of the best I have had here. Food- We had the cauliflower fritters and mushroom caps for appetizer, both were good in taste. Though the quantity of mushrooms did not justify the value price tagged on it! But the taste definitely did speak for it. Entrees - The Paneer Butter Masala as asked for was made spicy and we loved it. But the quantity again could have been more. The breads were superb too! We had a side Burnt Garlic raita - It was just wow!! Loved that little magic! All in all the taste is really good but the value for money definitely needs work! Service - The staff was friendly but they could have been more attentive. Little things really make a difference for instance we asked for a straw but the guy serving us forgot, I mean it happens but we had to wait while our drinks were melting so that was a little bump..likewise there were a few things more.. but the person serving us was great and friendly! He did answer our queries promptly! The lack of attention was may be because he was the only one serving the entire lot!! But m sure it was a one off! Ambience - We were sitting in the Patio, nice and cozy place and they even had the heaters to warm the place up! The music inside was great! We had a great time there yesterday and the food just made our anniversary even more delightful 😊 Will definitely be going back for...

Thank you, Arth service staff! (i.e. the order taker and the busboy from Michoacan -- both 5 star service) -- I had dinner with a close friend here this past Wednesday evening and was pleasantly surprised at how good the service was as well as how great the variety of Indian / Sub-Continent food delicacies were. The ambience was authentic and classy. Drinks totally refreshing and the food was exquisitely prepared and across the board fantastic. Arth (Culver City downtown) was busy but not overly so. We were seated in no time and the service staff was super attentive to our reqeusts. The energy of the contemporary vibe in the new restaurant (opened last July) helped add to the overall positive vibe. A friendly waiter was our 'très magnifique' server -- super attentive, & helpful with great follow ups. So considerate & polite. The food, once again, was simply wonderful. Totally worth the price. The atmosphere? A perfect Desai-California vibe with a classy Meditteranean calm. Great food across the board was the crowning touch. If you like it spicy, just make the request (as we did) and they will jack up the spice factor to your satisfaction. I highly recommend Arth. Ask to speak to the owner if you can! He's great and will add to the quality of your overall experience. ...
