Holy smokes, this place is delicious. The service is above par and the food is of course awesome. If you havent been there, ask what to get, they will point to the right side of the menu, amazing!

Alexandra E.

A casual atmosphere & modern yet traditional menu. It feels open, with high ceilings and two stories. Bollywood movies are projected onto a curved white wall which gives unique dimension to the space.

Chez Stock

Get a samosa-stupidly good. I wanted to try everything on the menu but split naan , coconut curry mussels & the poutine with a friend. Waaay more food that we anticipated and everything was amazing.

Indian fusion doesn’t get much better than the chicken tikka poutine fries at Downtown’s awesome Badmaash. Read more

Nick Campbell

Coming here will sometimes make you ponder the price of food. With 2 people, you'll usually leave satisfied with 1 Street Food , 1 Traditional, and 1-2 specialty dishes. The pork belly is a red herring

Katherine M.

Chef Pawan and his sons interpret homecooked Indian cuisine through impeccable culinary training . Each dish presents a specific combination of spices and flavors, with no redundancy on the menu.

Fried butter chicken sandwich on the secret menu is awesome! Ghost Chilli lamb vindaloo is amazing if you like spicy food and pair it with the Chilli cheese Naan !

Trina Unzicker

Went to the lunch "soft opening" today and shared the chicken tikka masala & channa masala bowls. Delicious! If I didn't have to go back to work, I would have tried one of the craft beers available.

Phil Toronto

Excellent! Standouts for me were the spiced lamb burger , chicken tikka poutine & ghost chili lamb vindaloo

J.d. Maresh

Share and share a like - Masala fries . Short rib samosas . Pork belly anything. And really great wine and beer list . Get lost with that Ghost chili lamb vindaloo .

Edgar Varela

Come with a group of 4 people or more so you can sample all the dishes. Well thought out menu and space. Also best cutting chai tea if had in a long time. Cheers.

Raj Patel

Great ambience and food! Authentic (Channa Masala , Chicken Tikka Masala ) and fusion (Spicy Lamb Burger , Chili Cheese Naan ). Wish it was on the Westside.

JT

The chicken poutine is an interesting fusion food. Chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. The samosa was also amazing. Wasn't too impressed with the naan

Shobhit Baadkar

You can't go wrong with the lamb burger , chicken samosas , or masala fries . Don't forget to wash it down with the Thumbs Up!

Archer Porter

The butter chicken is really good, and the sweet and sour pumpkin is v flavorful! Portions are small, so order more than you think you might need.

Sandeep

The badass chicken tikka is delectable! The papdi chat is simple but satisfying. Cutting chai is aromatic with cloves ...and the fish fry just melts in your mouth!

Starry Kitchen

If you want a quick-ass AND super delicious-ass lunch ... And FAST! THE "Lunch in a Mumbai Minute" actually does come out faaaaaaaaaaaast

Edgar Varela

Try out the Chicken Tikka Poutine ! It's a cool fusion Indian place, and good for lunch .

Anthony DeVries

The pork belly , poutine , and butter are all amazing. Don't forget to ask about the rosemary naan .

Best to make reservations ! The poutine and spiced lamb burger is a must have!

This Downtown LA Indian joint is a family affair that serves a lamb burger worthy of their legacy.

Ingrid P.

Chicken tikka massala , massala fries to die for, delicious pork belly

Jean Marie

Butter chicken , short rib samosas , and lamb vindaloo . Careful with the vindaloo , it's very spicy .

Chris Ledermuller

This is the Dine LA lunch menu for summer 2013. Three courses for $15.

Trendy ... Go for the fusion dishes. It's expensive , but one of the only Indian options in downtown.

decent vegan option - had the channa marsala but weird decor and atmosphere, good beer selection . liked the bubble yum at the the end.
