Awful experience

by restaurantwatch at Citysearch

I used to like this restaurant at the beginning over a year ago. Unfortunately, I have had two recent bad experiences with this place concerning hygiene and health. Both times I found "hair" in my buffet food and I was totally disgusted. I brought it to the manager's attention. He did not show any concern nor apologized for the unsanitary food. I suppose the only good thing about this restaurant is its polite waiters! Once this restaurant has become slightly popular, regretably the hygeine and sanitation protocols are nonexistant in this Indian buffet place. To top this off, the management has become appallingly arrogant and unconcerned.

Avoid this restaurant by all means if you care about your health.

• Pros: polite waiters
• Cons: unsanitary food

Best Indian Food in L.A.

by arillight at Citysearch

This is the BEST Indian food in L.A. The people are super friendly and attentive. The food is so rich in flavor and the best I've ever had! It can look quite empty in there, I feel really bad for them because their food is so good. If more people knew about it and tried it this restaurant would be packed!

• Pros: Food is Outstanding!
• Cons: None

Very generous portions-unusual for Indian cuisine

by cindicus at Citysearch

We went to this restaurant for the first time last weekend. We were pleasantly surprised at how generous their portions are. We ordered only two entrees - chicken Saag and mushrooms with peas, along with an order of rice and an order of garlic naan, and we walked away with leftovers. Everything we had was good - the chicken was very tender. We are definitely planning to go back. We didn't have any trouble finding parking even though it was a Saturday night.

• Pros: Good food. Generous portions. Reasonable prices

Tasty Indian food, good service

by danthewireman at Citysearch

The waiters are actual waiters, not surly wannabe actors, and the food is very good. Nice, quiet ambiance. Reasonable prices, too. There's usually ony a few people in there at a time, but don't be put off by that. They seem to have solved the tender-meat problem one of the other reviews mentioned.

• Pros: Very good food, Professional service, Reasonable prices

Mostly Thumbs Up

by achickwwit at Citysearch

Sauces were great; the meat just wasn't tender. The superb service more than made up for it, though, and we'll probably return.

• Pros: Not crowded, Nice wine selection, Friendly
• Cons: Meat not tender

Best Indian Food on the Westside

by pcampbell at Citysearch

The New India Grill is a shining star in the West LA dining universe. It is a charming small neighborhood restaurant that serves some of the best Indian food on the Westside. All of the standard dishes are here with a few unusual selections. The vegetarian dishes are particularly good as they are cooked slowly with good quality ingredients resulting in rich tasting sauces. There is a good selection of freshly cooked breads, several with unusual fillings. The restaurant has a small but adequate wine list, the staff is friendly and the prices are very reasonable given the quality of the food The lunch buffet is a real bargain.

• Pros: inexpensive, service, great food
