Best Indian Restaurants in Santa Monica

I came here for date night and from the entrance we were warmly welcomed. We did the melrose mayhem and the flavor of the butter chicken and lamb curry was amazing. Our server was very attentive throughout our meal. The chai ishq was really good. Great portions with the food and drinks. A must for anyone visiting LA.

We have dined at Bombay Palace a couple of times. We'd do it more often if not for LA traffic. Simply put, beautiful restaurant, attentive service and TERRIFIC FOOD!

Amazing food outstanding service. Some people in the restaurant were a little loud, but nothing too disturbing that’s life in a restaurant. But very enjoyable first experience would definitely go back.

Spice Affair never disappoints! The only problem we ever have is not having more people with us so we can order more dishes. We ordered a mango lassi (always a hit), the tandoori sample plate, chicken (dark meat) tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, yellow dal, pappadums, garlic naan, and white rice. Between the 3 of us, we finished everything and rolled ourselves home. j/k. We also had the rice pudding and mango ice cream for dessert which were perfect. We had to control ourselves from over-ordering but usually the lamb biryani is a regular dish we like to enjoy when we come here.
