Since 2013, Nakul and Arjun Mahendro have shaken things up on the LA food scene alongside their father and executive chef Pawan Mahendro. BADMAASH — which translates to “naughty or notorious person” i…
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.

Second time ordering. Got the yellow lentks that were so salththeybwere inedible, and got thrnitterchickennwhich was delicious but for thrprice the 4 tiny chunks of chicken were ridiculous. Got both rosemary and plainnaan. Very dry and crispy. After ordering a couple times, id say thewuakity is inconsistent and the cost per portion is way too high.

I'm not gonna lie it's the best tasting Indian food in LA.
It's just too overpriced for what it is. The chicken dishes have barely any chicken in them. I ordered two naan orders and I swear they just split up one naan and cut it into six slices. If you're charging five dollars give me two full pieces of naan

SO GOOD. EVERYTIME. SLAPS!!!
THANK YOU <3 Huge Portion. So flavorful and yummy and my fries are usually still hot and crispy underneath the Chana. I will be ordering for eternity.
