This was the worst Indian food we have ever had. We lived in London UK and Redmond, WA. Everything we tried was watery and bland. Biryani was like a gloopy mess. Aloo gobi was sad to look at and eat. Only Okra dish was ok. $95 is too much for this food.

At first, my family and I were hesitant about visiting this place, but we ultimately decided to give it a try. And boy, were we glad we did! Our orders of #31, #37, and #44 were all amazing. The lentils and mushroom dish, in particular, were absolutely delicious. In addition to the great food, our waitress was both friendly and funny, making our experience even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this restaurant!

Place was fantastic, food was very delicious, service was very friendly, and inviting. The samosas were my favourite part. Highly would recommended and for sure will be coming back.

Finally an authentic Indian vegetarian menu with plenty of choices at the good price! Nice waiter, vintage style half circle booths with comfy & private couches, food yummy, yet plain though some great variety of dishes that you don’t usually find even in more classy Indian restaurant like Aloh Paratha to die for, Papadum or Mint Lassi! Impressive 🙂 loved it 🙂

In the reviews people were mentioning buffet style lunch, on their website it was saying 4 entries + drink+ bread 13 dollars. so i didn’t know which was one was correct and I went to that place. food was ok, however the sizes are VERY SMALL! it’s the same like dinner on a plane! i just wanted to have a little bit more of a dish since the sizes were very small, they refused!! come on you won’t get bankrupt for handing out an extra dish!! 15 dollars for plane dinner is too much! because of ‘covid’ they don’t have buffet style anymore. i think thats a lie. because through the new system, paying for every single item, they make much more money than buffet style. we customers are NOT silly.

Great authentic Indian vegetarian restaurant. This is my regular place to eat when I visit Santa Monica. Easy to notice from road . Free Parking is at rare side. Quick and courteous service. Food sometimes tastes rich. Sometimes bland. Spacious seating available. Love mango Lassi and Naan.

Service is really good, the staff is courteous and polite. Ambience is pleasant and calm. Food, however, is just ok. I went there for dinner, it seems like they use the same gravy for all the vegetables. Malai kofta is not good, naan was good and paneer was ok. Other than food (which was ok), everything else was perfect. Overall I recommend to try once.

The food was ok, the panner pakora the batter was undercooked. There was only one server and he was struggling but very friendly. The atmosphere was slightly dull.

I was unaware Chandni was vegetarian when I walked by and contemplated leaving instead of ordering as I’m about as close to a carnivore as you can be. I’m sure glad I didn’t. The food and service were excellent. We will definitely be returning.
