"Best Indian food in town! We are vegetarian and I'm picky about Indian food outside as we cook a lot of it at home and are looking for the most delicious flavors and not the same monotony. Fitoor's food is so delicious. It's better than many restaurants I'vetried in India. The truffle mushroom kulcha, the paneer lababdar with the Malabar roti were terrific. We just couldn't stop eating. Definitely going to be our go to place for North Indian food. And we are going to try out their dine in experience soon. Their pickled onion and a crushed dip on the side was epic with the Kasundi Paneer Tikka. Wish they had a paneer biryani too."

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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. "

"Omg the Lamb Biryani is legiiiit. I got it spicy and they did not hold back. First time trying this dish from Star and their Chicken Tandoori as well. Huge portions and even bigger flavor, just what I needed to wake up my tastebuds!"
"Okay the Chicken Tikka Masala was amazing I ordered medium it def had a good kick to it. I love spicy and it was spot on. I have a high tolerance ad this was pretty spicy and it was not overwhelming either! I very creamy and thick curry! I havent had good food like this in San Diego! This is like San Francisco quality! The Saag Dal (Vegan) was also delicious ! The Chicken Samosa was 10/10 in quality and freshness . For something being deep fried felt especially light. "

"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."

"Overall good was great. I absolutely love the Spinach Aloo. Please be warned though, when you order the Vegetable Biryani Rice at medium heat, it is EXTREMELY spicy. However, it still was delicious. Also, we were disappointed as the Tofu Masala had about 6 pieces of tofu in it with the rest being sauce. Overall, I would order again, but with a few modifications."
"I Ordered the spice to be medium. I love the taste of this Vegetable Biryani (Vegan) Dish. They have multiple spice levels mild is the common level. This is the second time I ordered and didn't get medium spice. If the spice was medium thr rice would be red not yellow. I tried calling them ahead of time to make sure they got my order right no answer when I got there I asked if my order was correct they didn't check it for me and instead of cooking my Vegetable Biryani (Vegan)Biryani' Entree , to my liking they gave me a Togo bowl of spices that is not the same. I also ordered the Vegan Lentils Soup and the portion size of the amount of lentils is not great. It is mostly broth. I am very disappointed and will be leaving a yelp review as well. I have ordered from this place over 7 times and for some reason they are now inconsistent."
