House of Curry — Restaurant in Los Angeles

3/5 stars

The first time I tried this place I thought their Lamb combo plate was the most amazing type of Indian food I've ever tried, but as I kept coming here because I thought the food was THAT good I started to get tired of the meal and eventually went to another Indian restaurant called Bombay Beach. Both places are tasty restaurants that will have you dwelling in Indian food.

I opted for the Vegan Tofu Curry, Garlic Naan, and Vegetable Biryani.

The Naan definitely did what is was supposed to, I really like Naan and this one tasted very authentic and delicious. The Tofu Curry was good even though I completely ate around the tofu... HAHAHA, but here me out. I like tofu, but only when I make it. I can 100% try different tofus, but mine will always be superior. So, I ate around the tofu and the veggies and creamy sauce were flavorful and filling. I really enjoyed myself. It also came with Basmati Rice, so the Naan, Rice, and Curry hit the spot.

The Vegetable Biryani is a lot. Good price for all this dam rice, haha, but I definitely didn't finish. A good try, but not something I would get again.

That Curry, Garlic Naan, and Basmati Rice were my favorite...

The food is BUSSIN’ That’s all you need to know. If the food is taking a bit of a while to be made, you can trust it is of quality and it is authentic.

The restaurant owner serving me was so gentle in his service. I ordered online for pick up. It only took 5 extra minutes for me to get the food. Since I part of my order was for sharing with friends, I wanted to taste the biryani if it was worthy to be given to friends or family. Ha! Any way, I immediately went back in to order an additional plate of Lamb Biryani and Lamb Saag.

I respect places with great customer service as well; in fact, that is most important. I came in at a good time after lunch hours. However, Maybe I’m biased at times with foreigners, but I felt really catered to and the man listened & was patient. Truthfully, given the flavor and quality of food, along with the customer service, I highly recommend it as worth the wait if you ever encounter it at a busy time. But to be safe, if you’re the “I want my food and I want it now” person, please order online 30-45mins in advance and write notes in your order! Everything was fire. Lamb Biryani is a personal favorite and friend’s’ favorite.

Thank you Mr Thakur of...

First, I tend to be very generous with my reviews - since it is a very low rating, I'm taking detail to explain why.

I've had a long love affair with Indian food - if this had been my first experience, it would have been but a first date. -1 star: upon walking in and seeing vats of pre-made languising in chafing dishes, I asked if we ordered from the menu if it was prepared fresh - it was not. Ordered Saag Paneer and Chicken Vindaloo. BOTH were ladeled from the dish to saucepan and heated. Easy to watch. -1 star - the saag was soup, literally puddles of standing liquid. -1 star - I asked for some hot pepper to season the saag, give it a little spice - they gave me mint chutney. It would have ruined the dish entirely. -1 star - the food was out in 5 minutes, styrofoam to-go containers - not even a disposable plate for eat-in. -1 star - neither the owner (chef) nor the counter lady stepped out once. I think the counter girl muttered at us at some point but neither of us understood her from behind the counter mubmling to our table.

+1 star - I...
