Great place to have some Indian food. The parathas and even the pickle was really tasty. They have a good spread menu, must visit!

Absolutely loved this place! The vada pav is delicious, perfectly spiced and super fresh. The kulhad chai is equally amazing, rich and flavorful, and makes the whole experience even better. Definitely coming back! ☕️🌶️

We used Cafe 23 Catering and had a great experience overall. The food was genuinely good, well-prepared, and flavorful. The daal makhni stood out in particular and easily one of the best dishes on the menu. The owners were also very helpful throughout the process, responsive to questions, and easy to work with, which made coordination smooth and stress-free. Would definitely recommend them for anyone looking for reliable catering with quality food.

I’ve traveled a lot and tried Indian food in many places, but 23rd Cafe truly stands out. With the new owners, the food feels homely and full of flavor—just like a proper home-cooked meal. As an Indian myself, I can honestly say this is the only place where I’ve found dosas, sambar, and chole bhature that taste this authentic outside of home. The dosas are crisp and delicious, the sambar has rich flavor, and every dish feels made with care. I’ve brought my kids and family here, and we’ve all really enjoyed it. If you’re looking for real, flavorful Indian food that tastes like home, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

The owners are very friendly and kind and the food is just amazing. My recommendation (which is not in the menu) is the mala chaap. They also catered food for our ganesh chaturthi event and it was great without onion and garlic. Will keep coming back!

I found this place by accident. I came to Art of Living and saw this sweet little Indian restaurant in the end of the lane. We ordered for Vada Paav and Masala Dosa with Khullar Chai. The vada Paav gave me absolute Mumbai vibes with the same peanut chutney and fried green chilli with it. The dosa was crisp and what delicious Sambar n tomato chutney. I absolutely recommend this place.

Really fast service, delicious food. Asked the lady at the counter what I should get & she recommended the lamb curry bowl. 100% good call. Great flavor. Will come back for the breakfast burrito wrap 🌯

The food feels like home, it’s really fresh and the menu is so big that you never run out of new options to try! The staff treats is so warm and welcoming. It feels like you’re eating a meal with your family! The ambiance is so great as well - there’s always Bollywood songs playing. Their value-for-money is so great. You get a full thali for $9.99!

Hello, I Recently Got to know this place near USC fresh and homely food. I almost visit 2-3 times a week. Tried Both Veg and Non Veg they were pretty good. Must try would be Tandoori Platter. If you a time in weekends and want to try some Indian food cafe23 is for you. Go check it out and support them.

I ordered the Paneer Paratha and the Tandoori Chaap. I asked for extra sauce, which made it even more flavorful. I also got the Pav Bhaji, and they made it fresh—it turned out really tasty. The Paneer Paratha was just okay, but I’d definitely recommend trying their Sev Puri and Paneer Quesadilla.

Aman

Great customer service, decent environment for a hole in the wall. I ordered the buttered chicken, Chili chicken, Garlic naan, and lamb sambusa. The food was good but not to die for. I’d stay away from the chili chicken & sambusa but the buttered chicken is worth having For more LA food reviews and suggestions follow my Instagram @5stareating IG:5stareating

When you pay almost $50 for the food and hungry you have to eat the food regardless. Tikka massala was to salty. Naan was not fluffy, uncooked, $5 for the little container of rice. $4 per naan. Prices are so high but the restaurant is 2 star restaurants. The reviews are based of non Indians I believe.
