India's Tandoori — Restaurant in Los Angeles

Sub-par food and sub-par service. I've had better Indian food from the frozen sections at grocery stores than I had here. I'm from India so I know what certain dishes are supposed to taste and look like but the food we got here was nowhere close in comparison. Of course, it's highly unlikely to get the same taste as in the country itself, but I've honestly had better Indian food in further remote areas than in a city like LA. We got the dinner for two which included three sabzi/curry dishes, one naan and one appetizer and not one dish stood out. The appetizer we got were samosas, and what a sad dish that was. We got two small pieces with some lettuce sprinkled for "plating". The curried we got were a paneer one, bhindi masala (okra) and some mix vegetable one and they all tasted the same: extra heavy creamy, bland and food colored. Unfortunately, we didn't take any pictures of those - and I'm one of those people that takes a picture of every meal at a restaurant. The bhindi we were expecting to be fresh but to our disappointment, even that was frozen, and it had no taste whatsoever. We thought we might not have enough naan (which was average) but with curries like these, we didn't even finish the one we had. Wouldn't recommend this to anyone that wants to try original Indian food. I think the restaurant is owned and food is cooked by a Bangladeshi person anyways, which isn't even an issue if the dishes were at least close to the way they are cooked and tasted similar to their original...

On 4th of July weekend, we went to visit Santa Monica beach to spend the evening. Unfortunately the beach was closed. We were cruising around Venice Beach Santa Monica promenade, walked through Ocean Blvd. Late evening we felt hungry while passing the Brentwood area. We found India's Tandoori through internet .Since the dinning was closed, we ordered to pick up food. The restaurant was well maintained and decorated with celebrity pictures. We were amazed and very impressed! We got three complementary Mango Lassi while we were waiting at the counter. Our order was Chicken Tikka , Chicken curry, Chicken Tandoori, Vegetables, Lamb Korma, Saag Paneer and Mango Ice-cream (kulfi). Rice and Garlic Naan were included with the order. We also got "Rice Pudding " as a complementary dessert.

All items were packed well; especially the Naan was wrapped nicely to keep it warm.In our dinner table the food smells so good, we felt hungry! Tandoori chicken was delicious, we ate with Garlic Naan. The chicken curry, and lamb korma were yummy too. We really enjoyed the food! To try more items we will be back to India’s Tandoori soon. As a satisfied customer, we do recommend this restaurant to all...

THIS IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE indian food restaurant for lunch!!! they have a small buffet lunch which changes daily. at only $10.87 (tx included) it's well worth it and and the food is DELISH!!! With every buffet meal you get free & FRESHLY MADE naan bread, garlic or regular (MOST PLACES CHARGE YOU FOR THIS)... i can't tell you how nice it is to bite into naan that's piping hot and fresh out of the oven...along with your meal. the tandori chicken is always on the line with chicken tikka and korma switching on various days. CANNOT TELL YOU HOW YUMMY the food is here! the owner Martin is also VERY NICE! we had no idea he was the owner but he has always gone out of his way to make sure we were happy with our lunch. on top of that he's always made sure all of his customers were well cared for and cordially treated with great service. YOU HAVE TO COME TO THIS...
