Tandoori Eats — Restaurant in Los Angeles

I love reading reviews, but I'm lazy and never write them - this place was so good I felt compelled to share my experience so more folks can try it out.

This is my first time ordering from here and I'm so glad I took a chance! I called my order in and the guy who answered was so nice and very helpful when I asked him what he recommended between the two dishes I was debating. I went with his suggestion and I got the lamb curry. I also ordered a side of rice, garlic naan, and vegetable samosas. They said it would be about 30-35minutes which is expected, and let me tell you well worth the short wait! When I arrived to pick up the food I was greeted warmly and the guy at the register was very upbeat and it was nice to have that excellent customer service.

The garlic naan was absolutely a 10/10 - it wasn't too much garlic, and it was toasted perfectly.

Vegetable samosas had the perfect amount of outside crunch, and the filling was seasoned so well where it wasn't overwhelming like other places do. The accompanying mint cilantro chutney had a little kick which was nice to pair with the tamarind chutney (which was my favorite). Note: I only ate one samosa and next day popped the other one in the toaster oven to get the crunch back and it was just like the first night!

The lamb curry was AMAZING. I kept asking my husband to try it but he was full so 1-his loss and 2-more for me! I asked for zero spicy/hot level because I'm a weenie (lol) and they actually delivered! Most places say they won't make it spicy but then I struggle through it and don't enjoy it as much. So I was very happy they listened and I got to enjoy the hell out of the curry. It was so beautifully seasoned, I could not stop saying out loud just how good it was. The curry seasonings were great, texture, and the lamb was so soft and cooked so well I was just in awe.

Another great positive I really liked was that from one order, I ate THREE TIMES. The portions were very generous and it wasn't like I was skimping out. I'm 6mo pregnant and always starving, so I definitely filled my plate and got full each time.

I lived in San Diego for 14 years and had my go-to spot (Taste of Himalayas) that was down the street from where I lived, and I had been craving an authentic place like that but of course wasn't going to drive 2hrs to get it lol. This place was recommended to me by husband's best friend and I'm so glad we finally got to try it out!

Like I said, I never write reviews but this was SO GOOD I just had to share. My only thing that would make this better that has nothing to do with the food is if it they had outdoor seating to actually get to eat there (they do have indoor dining, but I'm just personally not doing that because of pregnancy and trying to avoid covid) but not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things. I will definitely be ordering from here again and excited to try so many more of...

I've been eating Indian food all my life. Without exaggeration, this is the best Indian Food I've ever had. Whether you're out on the town or stuck at home, this is the place to order from. I'm lucky that my girlfriend lives a stonesthrow from the restaurant, because wherever I live in LA, this is where I will get my Indian food.

The owners are so hospitable and genuinely kind. On the phone and in-person, they are courteous, appreciative, attentive, and warm. The food is very fairly priced and truly tastes the best. My girlfriend and I easily make 2-3 meals when we order 4 dishes for takeout. Their garlic naan is the perfect palette for their savory, spicy, sweet, and impeccably-seasoned dishes. Their meats are tender and fresh, and their sauces are luscious. It's also incredible because they manage to fill their take-out containers to the absolute brim, ensuring you get as much deliciousness as is possible within the laws of physics.

When you order, be sure to balance between the classics & some more adventurous choices. Obviously the Chicken Tikka Masala is clutch. Butter Chicken is also a hit. But man, you gotta get into the Veggie Korma (you can rationalize that it's healthy because vegetables), Saag Paneer (spinach and savory cheese), Lamb Mushroom Malali (I prefer goat, girlfriend prefers lamb, so we compromise by getting lamb), and Jalfrezi (any meat).

Everything comes mild, medium, hot, and as spice-adventurous white folk, medium is perfect for us.

Grab a couple Masala Chais or Mango Lassis to go with your order.

You're welcome (because you're going to thank me).

Also remind me to update with pics. Our food usually gets eaten too quickly to take a pic. We're bad at...

Tandoori Eats is the first Indian restaurant I've ever been to, and I had a great experience. It's embarrassing to say, but the only experience I had with Indian "cuisine" previously was the frozen butter chicken from Trader Joe's, so I was pretty keen on trying the real deal. To put it simply, Tandoori Eats blew me away. The restaurant itself is in a very unassuming location, adjacent to a mini mart. Upon walking in, I was welcomed by melancholic piano music and the pleasant aroma of Indian spices. The space had a very cozy mom-and-pop vibe, definitely authentic and appears to be family-owned. We ordered plain naan, garlic naan, basmati rice, and butter chicken – everything was the perfect amount to share between two people. They offer three spice levels for the butter chicken, and we went with Mild, but I think I would go with Medium next time. The butter chicken sauce was – as the name denotes – so buttery, rich, and had a hint of sweetness. Although it certainly wasn't lacking in flavor, I think an extra kick (Medium spice) would take it to another level. The chicken was also super soft and tender. My only gripe was the garlic naan, which I found underwhelming because you barely taste the garlic, making the additional $1 from the plain naan difficult to justify. Overall though, the prices are great for the portion sizes – $30 for everything! Service was also great, I'll definitely be...
