India Market Restaurant — Restaurant in Los Angeles

The all-vegetarian market is the best place in town for spices, dry goods, and jarred sauces! You can spend hours looking at all the different blends and options. Great prices. Helpful staff. Flax seeds or chickpea flour and the like, which are expensive at fancy grocery stores, are low priced here. Been going for nearly 20 years and still finding new things!

The restaurant side is an incredibly good deal. The large to-go containers especially! Also the dosas are excellent and for the meals you can get puri (fried bread) instead of the roti at no charge. The samosas are delicious- tightly packed with flavorful potatoes. Make sure to get the coconut chutney too. Great for feeding groups! Fast, cheap, tasty. Super accommodating for vegans. Even had soy chicken...

The gal at the counter was really sweet. We read the earlier review about too much salt in a dish but wanted to give the business the benefit of the doubt. The sambar was heavily salted. Plus the food was subpar. We ate there late afternoon today and it is 10:13 pm now and I still have a heart burn and gas from that food. Please fix the salt level in sambar and over all you could improve the taste. Not sure what you can do about the gas - maybe add...
