Best Indian Chicken Jalfrezi ( Chicken with green Chili, onion, bell peepers in ginger sause) in town. Friendly staffs. Will come.again.

We got 2 “dinner-for-two” specials for our party of 5 and we had so much food! Everything was flavorful and delicious, and we got to try many different dishes. The food definitely exceeded our expectations and we will be coming back soon!

I love the food, the service and the atmosphere here. It is a children friendly restaurant.

Very good Indian food in Agoura. Service was always there when you needed them and the food was delicious. I had the house dinner for two and it could have fed 4 people. Dessert included. Classic delicious Indian food with optional spice levels.

I went here with a group of friends and it was amazing! I had the lamb masala which was absolutely perfect. All my friends loved the food they got as well. The service was timely and professional. Will be coming back.

Excellent Service with friendly environment. Most importantly food was great! Very well priced and the portions sizes are usually decent size to share. very big so order several dishes to share. Overall very good experience and I will return whenever I get the opportunity.

Ordered take out and I have to say delicious! A little pricey but good food always is. Everything was perfect when we opened our bag at home and lots of beautiful sauces just like we requested. It was a beautiful dinner! Thank you, thank you, thank you! If you want an alternative from cooking, HIGHLY RECOMMEND

Mustafa is the best server ever, serving the best Indian food in LA! Not to be missed. The prices will have you thinking you are not in LA. Out of the world!

We came here at lunchtime on a wet Saturday so it was very quiet. Never been here before, but although it's less conveniently located compared with other Indian restaurants for us, we will absolutely be back. The food is superb. You can tell they're making it properly because, for instance, the chicken Tikka is infused with the spices; you can see when you cut into it. The plain Naan was just perfect. Fried rice cooked to perfection with good flavor and very generous size. Lamb Tikka appetizer was delicious and tender. Lamb korma is also very tender and flavorful. Aloo Gobi was also lovely, and they were happy to give me more cauliflower and less potato as i eat a keto diet and don't eat many carb, so the cauliflower served as my rice. Portions are generous, and there's easily enough left over for another full meal for two and then some. Highly recommend Lal Mirch if you're a Brit searching for a decent Indian meal! Most people have no idea that the most popular Indian dishes actually originated in the UK after they were adapted in the 20th century to the British palate. In particular, chicken Tikka masala is thought to be the invention of British Indian chefs.

We eat Indian food often and this is our go-to restaurant. Everything is authentic and flavorful, and they actually keep the spice level according to your request, unlike other places. Highly recommend the vegetable korma, lamb vindaloo, and tandoori chicken. Love this place!

Had a lovely dinner while visiting from the Bay Area, where we've eaten at a million Indian restaurants! The food was fresh and flavorful and the staff was a delight. Hearing "How's everything, guys?" just added to everyone feeling very comfortable and welcome. Definitely recommend!

The food was amazing and the service was great. Highly recommend going there. If you want the best Indian food, definitely go there. The service was just one of the best and to die for. They took care of all our needs and made sure we were taken care of the whole night.

This restaurant is a terrific discovery! The delightful Azim was our waitress. She assisted us with selecting a number of dishes from the vegetarian section of the menu, and her recommendations were excellent. The food is very high quality and delicious. The atmosphere is quiet and pleasant...my only suggestion would be for the dining room to be a bit brighter. We will return!!! Additional note: the homemade pistachio ice-cream is exceptional!

Flavourful North Indian cuisine. Nearly all standard fare, but made well, appropriately spiced, and served quickly. Not an extensive wine list, but satisfactory. Ambiance is quiet not not dead. Take is available.

I love this place!! It is the best Indian food! Always very fresh and tasty. The chicken is always nice cuts, no chewy gristle. It gets busy and sometimes it takes a long time to get your food at lunch time so we usually call and order ahead to dine in. I highly recommend Lal Mirch.

The staff is friendly, and the food is fantastic. Visiting from out of town and couldn't be more happy with dinner. The lamb korma was cooked to perfection with a really great portion size. Highly recommended!

We love this place! It's our go-to for Indian food. My only issue is that I've never had anything that I wouldn't order again. It makes choosing an entrée very difficult! The food is excellent. The staff is great. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.

By far one of the best Indian restaurants I've been to. The servers are quick and friendly. Eazim was very nice and attentive to our needs. The food is also very tasty. The tandoori chicken and vegetable curry are delicious. Everything we ordered was ! Definitely recommend.

We had Lal Mirchi cater my daugters pre wedding dinner for a 100 people. Alam supervised his wonderful staff, brought over the 10 plus different dishes and displayed them in beautiful dishes. Presentation was 5 star! Maintenance of food thru the evening was well done. If you plan on having Indian food catered in the Westlake, Thousand Oaks and Malibu area you can't miss with Lal Mirchi. Enjoy! A warm Thank you to Alam and his team!

Awesome food...lunch varieties are served with a vegetarian soup, half naan and a cup of rice...i ordered shrimp and it was well cooked, semi gravy style and tasted great. They serve wine, beer and liquor as well

+5

This place was awesome. The quality of the food and portions wete great. Not only that, it was delicious. The only thing is we get there a little late just after 9pm and we were kind of rushed. But otherwise great food.

Absolutely phenomenal restaurant! Adored the food, service and atmosphere. Honestly not a single complaint. This my new go to place!!

Delicious Indian food. Love coming here when I am craving some Indian food

Always great food and arguably one of the better Indian restaurants in the Conejo Valley area. When dining in it can get a bit busy at times however the service is usually pretty quick. Lots of vegan options if you desire that, however, their Lamb Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala (med. heat) are my favorites. Garlic Naan is delish and vegetable samosas are always on point. Take out quality is just as good though the naan can get a little soggy wrapped in foil. Just warm it back up in the oven for a little bit.

This is our go to restaurant for Indian food, their food and service is always outstanding. Complements to the staff, NAZIR is always so helpful and friendly - job well done! I would recommend Lal Mirch - Agoura to anyone looking for a great meal and awesome service.

The food was perfect! The service was some of the best I’ve ever had. The price points are all wonderful as well. I truly was so impressed. Abu made our first time in the restaurant very memorable! An amazing first impression. We will be back again soon, and we will be bringing more people along!

Abu is the most amazing waiter, the service was immaculate and the food exceeded our expectations! This is our go-to spot!!! 🫶🏻✨

This is one of the best Indian restaurants in the neighborhood. Great food with proper flavor and spice! Good menu choices and Friendly staff.

Food was delicious. Sat down and waiter was brilliant with his service. Ordered several dishes, portion sizes are large and definitely good enough so that one a la carte dish can feed one person. Would recommend skipping the appetizer as it’s quite filling. Only complaint is that there were some bugs on the floor, but the staff quickly responded.

i am new to the area, and wanted to visit a neighborhood restaurant. we like indian food, so this was a logical choice. we came with our infant and the owner had no issues accommodating us. we ordered the dinner option, and the owner even altered the dishes to our liking. the food was amazing, and we felt welcome. we’ll be back, that is for sure

No one can do it like Saju and Lal Mitch! Great food lovely ambience and service that was second to none. Couldn’t ask for much more in a dining experience also the soundtrack was magical.

Best Indian food in town!! Thanks abu ur the best :)

The food and service are very good I like it a lot 5/5

My wife and kids love this place. They took me today and I was absolutely blown away. Everything was superb. The garlic Naan was 100/100. The Chicken Tikka appetizer was incredible. The Chicken in the butter-based sauce with rice on the side was another amazing dish. The server was the kindest, most respectful gentleman. Very attentive. But the food is the star. Absolutely delicious. Will be back again many, many times. huge new fan.

Amazing restaurant. Food tasted great, ac on, beautiful arrangement. Great with family or with friends.

Service was excellent, staff is very friendly, atmosphere has potential, food is great! Very well priced but the portions aren't very big so order several dishes to share. I think that's the point behind the lower priced dishes is to order more variety. Menu is very well priced. I've had plenty of good Indian food and I can say Lal Mirch is legit! Not the best I've had in my opinion but definitely good! Dishes are rich and complexly spiced and flavorful. You can tell they put thought and effort into making good food. Definitely worth a try. If this place had a more interesting atmosphere inside and outside with music I think it would enhance the experience and draw in more business. Overall very good experience and I will return.

I'm not familiar with Indian food the waiter helped me choose a delicious lamb dish. I was surprised the bill was not as high as I expected for such a great meal. Very happy staff I would assume all family, they really seemed to be enjoying their work.

This is an excellent Indian restaurant! I have been here twice before and each time had a great experience. The Gobi Manchurian was really fresh and well seasoned with peppers. The Paneer Makhani is delicious and really reminded me of 'Indian wedding food'. The butter naan was well made and the garlic naan was just slightly dry. I just think the atmosphere inside is a little dark and reminds me of a classic Pizza Hut vibe. Update: the Gobi Manchurian is a good as ever, and the Paneer Masala was also very tasty!

Best Indian restaurant in town! Had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Chicken Korma, Vegetable Briyani, Garlic Naan and Vegetable Samosas. Both food and service were outstanding. They never disappoint.

Server: Abu First time coming here, was recommended by a regular customer. Lovely food and nice waiter. The waiter recommended to mix all the sauces for chicken samosa, it was sooo good!! I recommend all dishes. Will be back again! Items: chicken tikka masala, rice, garlic naan, and chicken samosa

Lal Mirch is our go-to Indian restaurant. The food is always delicious, even when you ask for the mildest spice level. Service is great, too - just all around an excellent experience.

First time here. Passing through the area. Wife wanted Indian food. This place did not disappoint!! We got the House Dinner which includes Naan, Raita, Tandoori chicken, chicken Tikki Masala, rice, Saag Paneer, Samosas, and a choice of desert. Highly recommend!!!

Very delicious, excellent service and very attentive, super generous in servings and refills. Overall 100/10

Lal Mirch is an absolute gem. Everything we ordered was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The garlic naan came out warm, soft, and perfectly blistered with just the right amount of garlic—so good it was hard not to eat it all on its own. The cheese naan was rich, indulgent, and beautifully melted inside, making it the perfect comfort bite. The real standout, though, was the chicken tikka masala. The chicken was tender and well-marinated, and the sauce was creamy, balanced, and full of deep, aromatic spices without being overwhelming. Every bite paired perfectly with the naan. Portions were generous, flavors were authentic, and the food felt truly satisfying from start to finish. If you’re craving quality Indian food that hits all the right notes, Lal Mirch is absolutely worth the visit. The service is always amazing, just like the ambiance. It’s always like going to visit family!

Lal Mirch is hands down the best Indian restaurant I’ve ever been to. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed with warmth, genuine hospitality, and a level of service that makes you feel like family. Abu and the entire serving staff go above and beyond every single time. They are attentive without ever being intrusive, incredibly kind, and always willing to help you choose the perfect dish. The food is exceptional—rich flavors, fragrant spices, and consistently fresh ingredients. Every dish tastes like it was made with care. Whether you’re ordering your usual favorites or trying something new, you can trust that it will be delicious. What truly sets Lal Mirch apart, though, is the team. Abu is phenomenal—friendly, professional, and always making sure everyone is taken care of. The whole staff creates an environment that feels warm, comfortable, and welcoming. Their service elevates the entire dining experience. If you want amazing food, incredible service, and a place that genuinely values its guests, Lal Mirch is the place to go. I recommend it wholeheartedly!

We ordered House dinner for 2 which includes soup, dessert, Tandori chicken, chicken tilka , garlic naan and a spinach dish. The food is really delicious. We are from the bay area which is full of Indian restaurants. We really enjoy our dinner here. Service is good. We will return again.

The food is still delicious and the customer service is exceptional. My server Abu was so attentive the entire time. I highly recommend this restaurant. I love their Shrimp Biryani and Mango Ice Cream.

Absolutely loved our experience here! Abu made it extra special with his warm hospitality. The place is super clean, and the Indian food was incredibly delicious, fresh, flavorful, and authentic. Highly recommend!

I really love the chicken tika, eggplant, and chicken massala! Great Indian food, clean, very kind staff, and parking is always easy.

This is our first time to this place and the Indian food here is so delicious!!! I love Indian food and two of my favorite restaurants in Woodland Hills Had closed for good and ever since I’ve been searching for a new Indian food restaurant. Finally I found this great place which is only 15 minutes drive from Woodland Hills and totally worth the drive !!! I ordered the chicken biryani and asked for like a level 3 spicy it was so good and my friend ordered chicken Makhni with rice it was delicious we shared both loved our picks !!! We also ordered nan house bread very tasty And the the chicken samosa The chefs cooking is Top at this place ! Server was really nice and welcoming And the place has a very warm home feeling vibe! I really recommend checking this place if you love Indian food :) Prices are between $15-20$ for each dish Enjoy!

I got delivery from you. And it was a pleasant experience. The food was fresh and delicious. The order came quickly.

I always get the lamb curry which is great. Good taste, tender, moderate spicy, a nice choice.

Such friendly staff and the food is always excellent it’s my comfort craving always. Abu is such a great host always makes sure we are happy with the service and meal. My go to is the Tika masala, chicken tikka, Sag Dahl (spinach and lentils), Sag Aloo (spinach and potatoes), tofu vindalu, especially with the garlic nan.

Some of the Best Indian food In Los Angeles County! The Chicken Tikka Masala will make you want to go back the next day!

i was in Lal Mirchi for Lunch ( DEC 25 - 2025), Agoura Hills, LA area . Quality of the food was very good . Mulligatawny Soup, Tandoori Roti, Sagh Dal ( Spinach Dal) and Mix Veg Curry and some Basmati rice . Service was pretty quick with reasonable wait time

Nazir was the waiter. He was awesome. Explained everything perfectly. This was the fastest time that food was delivered to the table in an Indian restaurant. Food was yummy. rest rooms were so clean.

Exceptional quality, service and value. The chicken tikka was the best I have ever had. Charred outside and juicy when you cut. The garlic naan is made to order and was fantastic again the best. The shrimp tandoori was very good as well. We ordered the vegetable rice, it contained plenty of different veggies. The yogurt, the Lassi, the pistachio ice cream all were delicious. The tea blend is made in house. No wonder this restaurant was rated one of the top restaurants in Los Angeles. Extremely healthy food with a welcoming hospitality. Strongly recommended. AAAAA+++++

This was my first time eating here with my brother Vartan and I am so grateful for the experience. Lal Mirch never disappoints. The food is fresh, full of flavor, and served with real hospitality. Taj, the owner, is genuinely warm and welcoming every time you walk in. Abu took care of us today and his service was outstanding, attentive, friendly, and on point from start to finish. I am definitely going to bring more people here. One of the best Indian restaurants in the city.

I had an absolutely amazing experience at Lal Mirch Indian Restaurant today! The food was bursting with flavor—each dish perfectly spiced and cooked to perfection. From the rich, aromatic curries to the freshly baked naan, every bite was a delight. What made the experience even more special was our server, Nazir. His attentiveness, warmth, and genuine care made us feel truly welcome and added a personal touch that elevated the meal. If you’re looking for incredible Indian cuisine paired with top-notch service, Lal Mirch and Nazir are not to be missed!

We had a wonderful dining experience today, thanks to the excellent service from Jack and Nazir. They were both extremely friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect throughout our meal. They checked in at the right times, handled our requests promptly, and made us feel genuinely welcome

Nazir was the waiter. He was awesome. Explained everything perfectly. This was the fastest time that food was delivered to the table in an Indian restaurant. Food was yummy. rest rooms were so clean.

Love this place. The food is always good. The atmosphere is a little awkward, only because there's no music or background ambient noise, so everyone can hear everyone else's conversations. I'll keep coming back for the food though!

The lamb korma is the saving grace of this place and I will definitely come back for it. The biriyani was mushy and didn't come with any type of it's usual sauces like raita. I know it's a south Indian specialty and this restaurant is north Indian so my expectations were low but this was awful. I ordered pickup and had to turn around after finding they had forgot my rice for the korma. I will say the garlic naan was fresh and tasty. I will be back to try more of their native dishes but will stay clear of southern specialties.

Loved the food. Definitely up to the mark of Indian cuisine. The service was also really good. For vegetarians, you must try the Jeera Rice and Dal Tadka. The staff was also courteous enough to provide us with the facility to keep a husky pup comfortable. Will surely visit again.

Visited Malibu on long weekend and stopped at this awesome place. Though went there with not many hopes, I came out with a belly full of yummy food. All the dishes were so delicious that I felt I was in India. Spice and salt are little less , but overall taste was amazing. For my surprise the prices are so cheap here. Enjoyed my meal and I recommend this place

Nice service and ambiance. Veg food was not up to the mark.

+1

The Indian food was good. Please order saag panneer, this was really good. But I can assure you all that this restaurant is definitely not an authentic Indian food. The garlic bread was very good. The service was fantastic. Very polite and respectful. Great service.

Food is authentic, ice creams were excellent, service was great, super friendly, and clean and accommodated our bday request. Thank you. The only point taking off is decor, doesn't need fancy decor, but it's not Indian nor up to date feel so a bit bland for a dinner place.

Good Indian restaurant..food was good but a bit spicy.

I recently visited the restaurant w a friend. It was a pleasant experience with an inviting atomlsphere. We ordered chicken masala, chicken curry, palak paneer, rice, and garlic nan. However, I must admit I didn't quite live up the high expectations I had. Perhaps that was just my personal taste, and others might have a different experience. I still recommend it. Specifically, the server Moss was a very welcoming person.

Very kind and polite servers and couldn't have asked for better service. Plenty of parking and restaurant is large enough to not feel overly crowded. Menu has a lot of options so there is something for everyone. The food wasn't seasoned as strong as I personally would've liked but I think that's because they cater more to an American pallete rather than a more traditional strong flavored/seasoned Indian food. Next time I'll ask for the food to be spicier and give it a 2nd try.

Taste is good but somehow I have always felt sick after having lunch or dinner here. I have had bad reviews from my other acquaintances as well about this place. I go only to have some Indian beer that they have, else everything else is mediocre. Don't go if you want to have some lavish Indian food, you might end up sick the next day.

The food is less spicy than an average Indian Restaurant, our server was having a bad day and was rude. The atmosphere is alright but because of the location they chose to cover the windows which leaves it.a little dark.

Food's great, comfortable atmosphere, but service falls short. One server in particular is pushy, argumentative, and seems to just "throw" plates at the table and reach across your face to move things around. I'd recommend for takeout only.

Food was very good although a few hours later, I regretted my decision. For sure this was partly my fault I think for gobbling down some lime pickle, this was one of the most intense things I have eaten. Service was very pleasant and inviting, and restaurant was clean, although bathroom has issues with odors most probably related to plumbing. overall I did like the food and would try again if in the area.

Great service, but very bad food! The owner is an extremely cordial and friendly person. But, the food was very bad. I am surprised by the positive reviews. I am Indian and this was the worst Indian food I have ever had in a restaurant. The samosa had a potato filling which had gone bad. The baingan bharta did not taste like baingan bharta at all. My colleague ordered some lamb dish and thought that it was very bad. He ate only a bit. Dal was quite OK. I would not recommend this restaurant. Apologies to the owner!

I work in the area, so I was going to try it eventually. The food runs a bit on the spicy side, so you might want to order mild. Garlic naan was great. Next time, I will try the chicken tikka. Marsala a 'bit' rubbery.

If I was rating just the food this place would get 5 stars. However the delivery service is horrendous. They lost our order, denied it, never contacted us, then claimed they texted us but “deleted their text”. All the while my Grubhub app still said out for delivery over an hour and a half after the expected delivery time! When we dined in the service has been fine but even then people who were picking up orders were arguing with staff about incorrect orders and slow service. I’d recommend going elsewhere.

Food decent but the staff have the most UNWELCOMING UGLY facial expressions ive ever seen in a restaurant lol. Only takeaway from now lol

We ordered online and when we got to the restaurant, we were told we had no order in. Then I was told it's probably at Newbury Park. They checked at Newbury Park, and they had no order there either. Then they said maybe it was placed at Studio City. Whoever does their online ordering service is a disaster! We had an order confirmation, but no actual order anywhere? We eat here all the time and love the food. They eventually looked at the record of the order and redid the order but did it wrong. This was a disaster from one step to the other. Nobody ever figured out what happened and I just sat around for an hour and a half. I was disappointed in the service and how they handled everything. One minute they were sending me to Newbury Park and then they are telling us to call Studio City. If this was a mistake we made I wish they'd told us what mistake we made so we wouldn't do it again. Instead, they just ignored the missed order or whatever happened. Not the way to do business as far as I'm concerned.

Very disappointed. I had tea as a beverage and they charged for each cup. I had never had that happen at a restaurant before. I did talk to the manager but too bad, that's it. I had lunch, chicken curry with rice and 2 teas, and with tip, it was $34+ not worth it.

It has been a bad experience with this place. We made our order 1 hour ahead of time. They told us that the food will be ready within 20 minutes. We got there half hour after the call and waited 30 more minutes in the parking lot. I think they appeared to prioritize dine in over takeouts, which is understandable but they should give you an honest estimation of waiting time. Make costumers wait outside is rude.

Don’t let the ratings from all the ‘bland’ people with no palette fool you. It’s edible but DEFINITELY NOT AUTHENTIC. Ordered the chicken vindaloo..another ‘Indian’ food spot where everything has the same texture and consistency of GERBER BABY FOOD. I guess I’m so use to eating real Indian food in LA that this place’s food irked me enough to write a review. KARMA INDIAN CUISINE is hands down THE BEST place for Indian food within 15-20mile radius. Anarbagh (or whatever) is trash and this place is weak too.

We are tourists and we called to make reservations. First the guy said yes you can come in we drove 45 mints and then when we reached restaurant with my 3 year old daughter they denied as they had a party on. I mean just few mints ago when I called they said yes and all of sudden they denied the service. Not a good experience as a customer. Thanks to Anarbuag restaurant in 6 mints drive: they accommodate us and their service is way better. Everyone please go to Anarbuag for Indian cuisine if you want great food with great service.

Pro: The one star is because 2 of the dishes we ordered was good: Chicken Makkani or Butter Chicken and Butter Naan. Con: The missing stars are due to the terrible service we received. We called before arriving to the restaurant to confirm the closing time given it was the holidays. The moment we entered the restaurant, at the door, one of the staff members goes - "Before you take a seat, I want to let you know that we close at 9:45PM". He was curt, totally disrespectful, and almost did not want us to be there. He took the order, would not look up while talking and was doodling while responding to our questions. It was a small order of 2 dishes and naan. 15 mins later the order arrives, and he got the wrong order. When mentioned that this is not what we ordered, he got flustered. 15 mins later, comes out with an altered dish. Seems like the same dish was used and remade. For the check too, he rushed us before we could finish the dinner with 30 mins remaining. While we were dining, a few other guests came in and were treated with the same welcome message. It was sad to see but almost hilarious as well. We don't plan to ever go back but if ever end up, and see him, we will leave immediately. I hope the management realizes the goodwill they are losing with such staff.

I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. Despite being listed as an Indian restaurant, the cuisine felt more Bangladeshi, and unfortunately, the food did not taste authentic. Chicken is chewy! Curry was way too watering, no seasoning, had asked for spicy curry but it was no where close. The service was also quite poor--the server was rude and argumentative instead of addressing our concerns calmly. He never checked on us after serving, which was frustrating. To add to that, they charged $3 just for onions, which are typically complimentary at most Indian restaurants. When we shared the experience with the manager Steve, infact, he started arguing with us! Overall, the food and service left a lot to be desired. Just sharing my experience in case it helps others make an informed choice.

Pathetic staff horrible ambiance lack of basic customer service etiquette the staff here doesn’t even know how to acknowledge guests coming in we entered in a group of total 8 folks for dinner , the moment we entered the staff started talking to us in a very rude tone even talking badly with kids as well i would definitely suggest my friends not to visit this place ever

Roach infestation when I went there by the sink area behind the counter when waiting on my food . Sucks because I always order from here

We waited over 10 min after being seated and no one brought us menus nor water. I got up and went back and asked the staff if I could have menus, expecting one of several around the bar/ waiting area to help me but all the help I got was a head motion from one of them from afar as if to give me permission to get my own! I let it go and went back to my table. Still no one came by for another 15 to 20 minutes so I let a waiter passing by know that we had not even gotten water yet. The manager was busy bussing another table and picking up several dirty/used glasses by sticking his fingers inside all of them. So I was surprised to see him come by to get our orders without any capturing devise (no note pad / no hand-held computer) he asked our order several times and interrupted us to talk to a waiter in the middle of our order!! He gave our menus to another table (the one he had just bussed) and disappeared. The newly seated table got their drinks and we were still waiting for ours. Meanwhile, there were tables around us that were being seated after us and their orders were being taken. So I thought somehow they missed our table and didn’t know who our waiter was. So I went back to the bar area to ask for our waiter just to learn the manager who claimed to be our waiter had forgotten my iced tea and seemed out of it. I asked how he could be handling our food if he was bussing tables (health dept concerns) He got defensive and rude and another staff member held him back and the manager started barking at him! I was petrified! I told my friend let’s get out of here and we did. Another rude waiter came out following us to the parking lot yelling at us several times to take our trash out. He was referring to neatly folded filler gift papers left on our seat after our gift exchange. I was scared and appalled! How is this allowed in this day and age? I think they were sexists and ageists and all together unprofessional. We went to Anarbagh on T.O. Blvd and had great service and a great time and a super delicious dinner. DO NOT GO TO LAL MIRCH! Their management is rude and unprofessional.

Service was pathetic. As soon as, we entered, the way staff treated us was pretty bad. One of the staff shouted at my 6 yrs old when she was trying to sit in empty chairs. Later on they responded with the rude answers. This was one of the worst experience that we had in Los Angeles. Please avoid visiting this place if you care about staff and service.

The server was ok! At first as me and my party. Started to eat our food our Rotits were provided few minutes later. As we started to at the Rotis we noticed that the were black and burnt on the bottom and the majority of it was still in cooked on the other side. We notified the waiter and then he called the manager/ owner and he was so rude.He did not fix the problem.instead he got an attitude and just tried to justify his horrible garlic bread! I would not recommend this place! The food was not traditional Indian Food very watered down and horrible service!

Thought it was an Indian restaurant, not really !! Not sure why the guys were super rude they just behaved very cold and with no hospitality . Top of this they through the check and terminal on our table even before we finished eating !! Guys , You copied Indian food to good and even your restaurant as Indian restaurant. How ever . You are completely missing the main aspect of India …Hospitality!! Hope you improve it next time .
