I am a local here in Los Angeles city. This is by far the worst Indian food I have come across. Ask them to light it up and serve proper Indian cuisine. (more)

I was hoping the previous reviews on the food were flawed, but unfortunately the food was bland and lacked the essential spices that make Indian food so unique. It was so devoid of flavor that my group joked at the... (more)
