The lunch special is three items $10 for veggie, $12 with meat. Very tasty, but as mentioned above, not a place to go when you're in a hurry. The service is SLOW! They now have non-veggie items.

Vegetarian Indian is so well done that it really doesn't need the fake stuff, but this is exciting nonetheless.

The guy in line ahead of us asked to order chicken and the chef pointed to the sign where it said something like "Go Veggie, Go Green" and said "Sir, did you not read the sign. This is a vegetarian restaurant." The customer was flustered and confused and then pointed to one of the curries and said he'd have that chicken curry. I thought the chef was going to lose his shit. The poor customer just got his food to go and fled as soon as he could. Our meal was tasty but I wish that (1) chef would get better people skills and (2) could move the line faster. It moves at a glacial pace. The chef seemed to get the customer service thing part right by telling each customer he hoped they enjoy their delicious meal, but doesn't have the make people comfortable part down.

The chef's always been nice to me but mostly because I tell him to give me whatever's good. I tell him I love good indian food and he seems to reciprocate though I wouldn't say his manner is "warm" in any way. The food is fantastic though. I think it's funny that you put "I'm a Vegetarian/Vegan. This is very exciting!" in the "Negative" section lol LOVE THIS PLACE.

I've had their $8 special maybe 10 times, but have never ventured to other parts of the menu. I always get the jackfruit, one of the spicy dishes (usually the stewed chilies), and try something new with the third. Maybe I'll try the chaats or pakoras, but whenever I'm there, I just try to get out as quickly as possible in case the chef has a mood swing. It may be the only place in LA at the moment where I'm willing to put up with terrible service or even verbal abuse for amazing food. Awesome review.
