This friendly sleeper is one of L.A.'s most popular Indian spots, serving quite good curries and kormas typical of South Indian street food. Once seated, immediately order sev puri for the table; these crispy little crackers topped with chopped potatoes, onions, and chutneys are the perfect accompaniment to what's sure to be an extended menu-reading session. Also recommended are the burrito-like "frankies," juicy little bread rolls stuffed with lamb, chicken, or cauliflower. The best dishes come from the tandoor and include chicken marinated overnight in yogurt and spice masala and skewered. While some dishes are authentically spicy, plenty of others have a mellow flavor for less incendiary palates. The main gripe among locals, though, are the prices; it's more spendy than most Indian food.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
