"I order from here pretty regularly, decided to change things up on my order today. I ordered Butter Naan, Malai Kofta, and a Paneer Bowl Combo. Over all everything tasted pretty good , but I was disappointed in the serving size for the malai kofta especially for the price. I got roughly a 10-12 oz container when almost anywhere else I'd get 16-20oz for the same price or even less."
"Soya malai tikka was incredible. Portion size also fine. Affordable pricing definitely would order again.Goat curry with keema also amazing."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely delicious! India’s Tandoori Hollywood has some of the best Indian food I’ve ordered in LA. The Chicken Tikka Masala was rich and flavorful, the Tandoori Chicken was perfectly cooked, and the Garlic Naan arrived fresh and soft. Everything tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and authentic. The portions were generous, the packaging was excellent, and my DoorDash order arrived hot and in great condition. You can really taste the quality of the ingredients. Definitely one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Hollywood. Highly recommended — I’ll absolutely order again! 🔥🍛"
"Smelt so good when I opened the bag!!! You know the rice is good enough for 2 people! ($5 rice!!) naan was so heavenly, buttery and soft! I asked for spicy (and I love spicy) and the spice is no joke! Delicious, I will be ordering again. P.S. I asked for utensils & condiments and only received condiments, no napkins or utensils, keep that in mind if you are in an office. "

"good portion sizes for the price and soooo delicious. i ordered medium spice level for the Lamb Vindaloo and wasnt expecting it to be spicy but it still had a good amount of heat! the Mango Lassi was super creamy and not too sweet and balanced the spicy food well"
"The food was delicious, of course, but the Tofu Masala was like 80% sauce to 20% tofu, so I had to add some cooked veggies to it to make it more filling. The Saag Paneer was absolutely perfect, though. 10/10! And who doesn't love Cheese Naan?! It's perfect for wiping the leftover sauce off your plate."

"The best Indian food. Hands down. I can't even order anywhere else - Badmaash has me hooked. My favorites: Goan Pork Curry, Chicken Tikka, the butter chicken and daal! Absolutely love all their desserts especially the chocolate pot du creme! I dream of it. "
"I ordered the chicken Biriyani. I'll tell you it's not cheap. It's $40 when you can probably find the best buriyani for somewhere around $20. May be $25 if the meat is exotic. Having heard great things about Badmash I decided to splurge $40 to only find that it was completely flavorless (75%) of it is plain white rice with some chicken curry (very little) burried inside. I would not pay 14 bucks for this, forget 40. So if you decide to order this, please keep this in mind."

"Disgusting. The Ras Malai tastes like white bread soaked in 2% milk that was too thin, yuck. There was nothing "royal" about their Lamb Shahi Korma - 6 cubes of boneless meat chunks that is very apparent it wasn't cooked together."

"Delicious food. Butter Chicken A la carte is excellently spiced and cooked perfectly. Chicken Samosa BoGo or any of the samosas are always a go-to, same as the Garlic Naan. Giving 4 stars only because I wish the food was a bit cheaper, $18 for ~1 chicken breast in butter sauce with no sides is a bit steep IMO. And FYI- If you find Tabasco sauce unbearable, do NOT order the 'Hot' spice level. "
"Dinner Special for 2-4 guests option was plenty of food. It really would feed 2-4 people as stated. I'm happy to have leftovers. I got chicken Tikka masala, lamb vindaloo, and aloo gobi, with 2 veggie samosas. The samosa filling was mushy, but flavorful, and the wrap was the perfect consistency. The main dishes were flavored well and the meats were tender. I especially enjoyed the vindaloo. The "hot" level of spicy was enough, but not overpowering, though I will probably get medium next time. The Fresh Mint Chutney was tasty and delightful."

"The LOADED CHICKEN MOMO was so delicious. Sauces were perfect flavor and texture, meat was juicy. The Mango Lassi was perfect texture and sweetness"
"I've ordered here before and it was great. This time the food took 40 min to be ready. And the chicken steam momo was missing the sauce it normally comes with. So it was dry and kind of bland. The loaded chicken momo also did not have fries in the dish as it normally does as well. It's also in the description. I was dissatisfied with these errors and may not order again. Especially since it is decently pricey at 3 times for $50"

"The best Indian food in LA! Their Garlic Basil Naan is my fav."
"I ordered the CTM from the chicken menu, which is $2 more than the CTM in the a la carte menu, but it surprisingly didn't come with rice. I thought medium spicy might be too much for me, so I ordered the only option less spicy which is very mild, and it had zero spice. Not sure why they don't have a 'mild' option. "

"We have tried many different Indian food delivery options and are always left feeling disappointed in the quality or flavor. But this place is amazing and will be our new standby. Everything was delicious! Their naan and curries really stand out. The only miss were the pickled carrots. Although the flavor was good, I missed the traditional veggies used in the pickle mix for Indian food. Also note that even their "mild" option is quite spicy. The food was the best Indian we've had in LA in many years!"
"An Indian friend said Try Anarbargh; it's the best place for Indian food Unfortunately wrong. They put peas in the eggplant, the okra is drowned by tomato, and the food was all vaguely sweet (even the eggplant, which I ordered medium, and it came with a respectable spice level). The masala chai is the world's biggest ripoff( $7 for 6 ounces?), and the mango lassi was fine. Not great. Ditto the chutneys. The raita was tasty. Maybe I should try other things next time but, overall, quite disappointing."

The Bhindi Bhaji , a dish of okra with tomatoes and curry was textural perfection. The Butter Chicken was rich, creamy and flavorful with just the right amount of spiciness. I appreciated the healthy choice and vegetarian options, too! The Mango Lassi was a refreshing accompaniment, providing a cool contrast to the spicy dishes. The yogurt drink's creamy texture and sweet mango flavor were a delight. Chef Arango's culinary skills truly shine. Highly recommended for a satisfying and delicious Indian food fix!"
"The Chicken Tikka Masala was very good , spicy just how I like it! (I had to work in Fiji for 2 months they have great Indian food been craving ever since I got home - this restaurant hit the spot) I also got the Peswari naan (it's sweet so I feel like it balances out the spice) Samosas are good as well !
