I happened to be working the event mentioned above (daughter�s wedding) as a server and had a chance to meet the gentleman catering the Indian food that night. The facts are these: this gentleman was very gracious and everyone I served at the event enjoyed the food very much. I know for a fact that he was cooking the bread in a barrel oven which we unloaded from his van and many of us watched a demonstration of how the bread was made. At the end of the night, everyone working at the ranch for the event (like 15 of us) had a chance to try whatever food was leftover, which was amazing, and even take some home. I was really surprised to see the father of the bride seem so angry over nothing when all the other guests there had a really good time. I haven�t been to the restaurant (yet!) but from what I tried there that night this place gets my 5 stars.

I am Indian and a good cook. Very rarely do I find an Indian restaurant I like because most places overload their dishes wiht heavy cream or oil. My husband, my two small children , went to eat at this restaurant last week. The place was pretty full for midweek. We ordered a mango corm soup, dal makhani, shahi chicken, balti lamb, a variety of naans and paraths and a creme brulee trio. The mango corn soup was fruity and smooth with a very light hint of sweetness and a little spice kick. The flavor of the mango wasn?t overpowered by the sweetness of the corn, neither was it lost in the spiciness. They offer unusual flavors of naans and paranthas: olives, rosemary etc...Each ingredient could be tasted, same with the shahi chicken and the balti lamb. The meat dishes weren?t as spicy as expected (we had asked for moderately spiced) but it is difficult to indicate one person?s limit. In various places with the same request: moderately spicy I have been served very spicy food or very bland food per my standards. The dal makhani tasted exactly as it should: slightly nutty flavor, without a hint of cream. The consistency of the dal was right too: not mushy but little crunchy. I would have liked to have a small cup of ghee to the side so each person could add butter and make it more rich. The trio of creme brulee had chocolate (a mixture of dark and milk chocolate with a hint of cardamom), mango and orange . Mr. Praveen told us that the flavors for the trio change weekly: next week he was having a jasmine , quince and pomegranate. We learned that he uses mostly seasonal products and a lot of the ingredients are grown in his backyard. The food took a little long to arrive. Compared to other Indian restaurants this place is pricier but it offers you a culinary journey. I wished they offered sampling menu: bites size of all the items on the menu. I am still wondering about the beet and nut salad, the Pondicherry salmon. Maybe next time if I visit south California again.

I went to this place with a friend last night and it was so good!! We had the chicken tandori and another dish and they were both amazing. I would highly recommend this place and I enjoyed it so much I am ready to go back this weekend. The staff is very helpful and nice as well.

This place has the most authentic indian food I've had in Los Angeles. The staff is friendly and helpful and the food in flavorful without being overly spicy. The lamb curry was my favorite while my friends had a tandoori pomegranate duck which made great use of local ingredients. This place is worth cost and is perfect for a special occasion.

This is a great vegetarian spot. I love the tofu wrap with a squeeze of lemon. So delicious. I get it everytime
