We frequently order delivery but decided to visit in person. I highly recommend you come and experience this place. The atmosphere is fantastic; everyone in the restaurant is incredibly attentive and welcoming. The food is simply unparalleled—authentic and incredibly delicious. The cocktails are unique and delicious as well! It’s a great spot for a date night or a relaxing night with friends. I’ll definitely be returning again and again.

The food was delicious and tasted authentically Indian—especially the cheese naan! Service was above and beyond, a waitress offered to charge my phone when my phone ran out of battery, so I could order a Uber and get home safely. The restaurant owner is super friendly too! 100% would come again

We had a great experience here, thanks largely to our amazing waitress, Manasa! She was energetic, knowledgeable, and the service was incredibly quick. The restaurant was clean and welcoming, and the Indian-fusion food was delicious. We loved the Chaat Nachos, Masala Fries, Chana Chalupa, Veggie Biryani, and more. Manasa even sent us dessert to go for our birthday girl with a sweet note, which was such a thoughtful touch. If you’re in town, I highly recommend this place!

Came here for a friends birthday dinner and couldn’t have had a more pleasant evening 😋 quick wait (for being such a busy Saturday night) and bomb food. I shared the leftovers with my partner and now she’s begging me to bring her here to experience it as well 🙏 our server Manasa was very hospitable as well, and made the experience even better

We walked in and it was pretty busy but the hostess got us seated pretty quickly. The food was amazing we ordered a Mango Lassi, Ginger Lemonade, Tikka Masala Fries, Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala with rice and Garlic Naan. Everything was simply amazing the waitress and hostess were very prompt and attentive and the ambiance was nice as well. I would highly recommend checking out this spot and I’ll also be back again for a visit!!

The butter chicken was delicious, and the tandoori chicken was cooked to perfection. The food arrived quickly, and the service was excellent. Our server, Manasa, checked on us a couple of times and was very attentive so 10/10 service overall. Since it was our first visit, they even treated us to gulab jamun on the house, which was such a nice and thoughtful gesture!

We came in following a recommendation from Instagram and so glad we did! The Chana Chalupa was delicious. It had a crunchy and tasty shell with creamy chickpeas that were perfectly garnished. Highly recommend! We also had the paneer masala fries and the chicken tikka masala and both packed incredible flavors. Thank you to Manasa for the excellent service, we definitely plan to come back soon!

Super cute restaurant with great offerings for vegetarians, vegans, and meat eaters! We enjoyed the paneer masala fries & chicken tikka masala curry, but the best dish was the Chana chalupa. Thank you to our lovely server Manasa who took great care of us. We will definitely be back!

Had a great experience at Roots Indian Bistro! Veer was extremely helpful and made sure everything was perfect. We ordered the sev puri and the 2 fun for-1 fun combo — one veg fun and one curry fun — and everything was absolutely delicious. Great food, great service, and a very welcoming atmosphere. Will definitely be coming back!

We got the paneer masala fries, also tikki, and rustic chicken curry with onion and garlic nan. They are great. We asked for extra spicy and their curry kicked our butts. They can do off menu requests if needed. Customer service is excellent. Definitely would recommend friends and family.

We were seated within 5 minutes walking in at 9. The Dosa Quesadilla, Saucy Wings (spicy) and Chana Chalupa were absolutely fantastic. And the softest gulab jamun! Shout out to Veer for making sure our experience was wonderful and that our group was taken care of, from appetizers to dessert.

I recently dined at Roots Indian Bistro in Melrose and it was my brother and I’s first time. The service was really great, our server was sooooo sweet. The food was really good and it was filling. The spot is so cozy too. They have a TV on for any sports. They gave us some rice pudding with a personalized note as well. So cute ! We ate the Chana Chalupa, Samosas and Chicken Tikki Masala

My wife and I visited Roots Indian Bistro a couple of weeks back while we were in Los Angeles, and we are so glad we did. We’re from Minnesota and while we do have access to great Indian food back home, we often have to search for it. Walking into Roots felt like discovering a gem, we were genuinely blown away. The food was exceptional across the board. We ordered the chana chalupa, which was outstanding, along with a thali, pani puri (gol gappas), and dessert. Every single dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully done. Truly some of the best Indian food we’ve had in the United States. But despite how great the food was, the real highlight of our visit was the service. Noor was extraordinary. Warm, gracious, and incredibly welcoming. She answered all our questions with kindness and a smile, and she made us feel right at home. She even gave us a handwritten note, which was such a thoughtful touch and made the experience feel personal and memorable. Service was prompt, attentive, and heartfelt. Parking wasn’t a challenge when we arrived, which was a pleasant bonus. All in all, Noor’s hospitality elevated an already fantastic meal into something truly special. We will absolutely be returning the next time we’re in Los Angeles. Highly recommend!

I recently dined at The Roots in Los Angeles, and the experience was exceptional. This is one of those rare Indian restaurants where the chefs bring a truly innovative touch to traditional flavors, creating a beautiful fusion that still feels authentic. The food was outstanding—so much so that I ended up visiting twice on back-to-back days. The staff deserves a special mention. They were extremely courteous, attentive, and focused on every detail to ensure a comfortable dining experience. The ambience is lively and welcoming, and the location adds to the overall charm. Overall, The Roots delivered an amazing blend of creativity, flavor, and hospitality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable Indian dining experience in LA.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! My chicken biryani was soooo yummy and the sauce that came with it was 10/10. Also loved the refreshing lemonade, the little dessert we got, and the chicken tikka masala. The real star of the show was MANASA, our amazing server! She was so kind and made the place feel so welcoming and friendly. She has the best hospitality I’ve ever seen at a restaurant. Thank you to Manasa for the extra rice pudding that was also delicious! A really delicious and friendly restaurant that I will be bringing many more friends to.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I just went to this Indian restaurant last night 2-3hrs before closing, and I have to say it was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had! From the moment I walked in, I felt so welcomed — the atmosphere was warm and inviting, and everyone there made me feel right at home. Our waiter, Noor, was so sweet! and such a kind person 🥹. You could just feel the good energy from everyone working there. Now the food… oh my gosh, absolutely delicious! The flavors of every dish were so unique and full of taste — by far the best Indian food I’ve ever had. You can tell they put so much love and care into their cooking. Everything came out fresh, hot, and perfectly seasoned! There yogurt was yummy! There’s literally no complaints about this place, at all. If you’re looking for a place that not only serves incredible food but also makes you feel genuinely welcomed, this is the spot. I’ll definitely be coming back!

We had a reservation for two and even though we came early and there were tables ready, the manager made us wait around 20minutes while he was getting walk-ins who were coming after us. That interaction was rude in my opinion but the place was very crowded so we let it pass. The chana chalupas is a MUST TRY it was so good. We also got the butter chicken which was delicious, quesadilla which was good but nothing too crazy, and some dishes which were okay. We did not like the pani puri. The prices are amazing, we payed 120$ for two.

Overall had a very pleasant dining experience at Roots tonight. Veer was an absolutely wonderful server and was very attentive and speedy with his service the whole night. Food was delicious, and I would definitely revisit for the unique fusion dishes. Absolute standout was the tikka masala sauce, When compared the butter chicken, it was way more flavorful, which then, in turn, made the butter chicken taste bland. One thing I want to note and notify/warn others about is the sneaky “processing fee” that is added to the subtotal of the receipt. Our food cost alone was $232 and there was a $6.95 “processing fee” added to our receipt, making our subtotal $238.96. That new subtotal was then used to calculate the automatic gratuity that was added to our bill (which obviously would have been less if that fee wasn’t added in the first place). We asked Veer what the processing fee was, and he said it was a 2% fee charged on every bill. It was actually 3% upon calculation, which doesn’t make too much of a difference from 2% but I still think it is unnecessary for this fee to be added in the first place.

We visited after reading the Google reviews and they lived up to the hype. We waited about 10 minutes on a weekday, which was totally reasonable. The fusion here is genuinely unique and thoughtfully done. Everything we tried had good flavor and felt well put together. What really stood out, though, was the service. The team came to each table asking what we liked and what they could improve, which you don’t see very often. What we ordered: • Paneer Masala Fries – 4/5 • Mac & Cheese Pakoda – 3/5 • Dosa Quesadilla – 5/5 (absolute standout, must-try) Since it was our first visit, they gave us gulab jamun on the house. It was freshly made in-house and tasted great. That’s rare these days, especially when most places just serve canned or frozen gulab jamun warmed up. Overall, a good experience with creative food, good flavors, and genuinely attentive service. Definitely an worth checking out if you’re into Indian fusion.

Food here is a twist from your regular Indian restaurant. Like French fries with paneer curry. Decent portions. Ordered few chicken appetizers and curries. Liked everything They gave us gulab jamuns on the house. Service is really good. Loved the atmosphere.
