Dubious Indian Food

by mimsai

I ordered takeout from this place. Firstly let me say that the delivery was on time, the food was packed well, and the delivery person was wonderful and professional.

I just didn't like the food. I ordered the Chicken Coconut Curry Thali, Sag Paneer, Raita, Rice and Naan. The Chicken Coconut Curry was chicken mired in a thick gelatinous brown gravy- not really what I was expecting. The Sag Paneer was palatable, but only just barely. The Raita was heavily spiced with whole mustard seeds.

Food is always a matter of taste, and I really wanted to like this place- and I wouldn't not recommend them- I thought their service was wonderful. But I would add the caveat that some like the food, and some don't.

• Pros: Great Service
• Cons: Didn't like the food

Great Indian food at a great price

by PeterbE

Flavorful samosa and naan, they make their own cheese and declicious raita, and while I am not vegetarian, I almost always choose veggie dishes cause they are so good. To my taste, this is very traditional Indian fare, and very soul satisfying. I have never actually eaten in; I have always done delivery, which is prompt and very courteous.

I've eaten a lot of Indian food from many restaurants, and I'd say Crown was quite good, though not great. I'd give it a 4 of 5 stars. The food came nice and hot. The papadum was hot, not overly crispy and a bit oily (just the way I like it). The naan was very good, and was served piping hot. A competent but average Raita. A good (but not great) Bhuna chicken. Good spinach/ saag. Good chickpeas/ chole puree, though a little bland. Very good chai. The waiter was a very pleasant man who tried hard to understand us, given his limited English skills. The place didn't look like much from the outside, but was nice inside-- then again, I go for the food, not the appearance.

• Pros: papadum, naan
• Cons: none

Really Good Indian Food

by FoodieGal33

My friend introduced me to this place for lunch. I'm hooked. They're chicken curry and saag aloo are fantastic! I recommend this place to anyone looking for some good Inidan food in Hollywood. It's in a sketchy area though, and the service can sometimes be a little slow (even if the restaurant isn't crowded), but the staff is nice. I'll continue to go back.

• Pros: good food
• Cons: not a great location
