For the past decade, I’ve been a loyal patron of Nizam Indian restaurant on Pico, and my fondness for this place only grows stronger. Whether it’s their delightful lunch buffet or a satisfying dinner, Nizam never disappoints. The hands-on involvement of the owners adds a personal touch to the dining experience. Their attention to detail reflects in the way they manage the tables and interact with guests. The cuisine at Nizam is a captivating blend of mild and unique flavors, making each visit a culinary adventure. I’ve never been a chicken eater myself, but my son can’t stop raving about their chicken dishes, and even my friends relish them. Nizam’s offerings strike a perfect balance, appealing to both Indian food enthusiasts and those new to the cuisine. It’s a gem that caters to diverse palates with its delicious and approachable Indian fare.

The place could have used a bit of a face lift, but the service and food were excellent!!! We ordered the mango lassi, mixed veg grill, Naan, rice, raita, baigan bartha for the main course and gulab jamuns for dessert. Parking was fairly easy to find that day we went because it was a holiday. All of that for an economical $52.00 including taxes in a post covid world in Beverly Jill’s no less!!

My husband and I have been doing to Nizam for their amazing lunch buffet for years. Not only is it affordable; the food is always fresh and tasty. In the photos below, you can see some of my favorite dishes on the plate featured: Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag, Saffron Rice, and Raita. I also LOVE their dessert, Gulab Jamun. The staff is always friendly and happy to see you (they definitely know us!) Plus, it is a great place to treat family and friends. We also enjoy the atmosphere and find the seating comfortable. Many fond memories have been made here and hopefully, will continue to be made.

Hey all. If you wanna eat Indian food, you’ll get anything but… We just had dinner here, and almost all cooked orders were as bland as Popeye’s spinach.

we came from Washington state, my family decided to eat something lighter because we got tired of eating chicken and mutton almost every other day, we got veggie thali , so this was my first time in punjabi restaurant, and i can’t explain my experience went so well, the service was great, the food was so yummy, specially with home made makhan . i wish i could just come every day to try different things but we had to go back, but will come back

Been coming here since 2010. One of my favorite places in LA! My colleagues and I would always come here for lunch from Culver City and always get in trouble for taking a long lunch! I love the flavors here. I’ve been to other Indian buffets as well but this one has a special place in my heart. Dunno how they make their saag corn but it’s addictive. Their aloo gobi, chicken tikka masala are all extremely flavorful. Seasonally they have the best mangos which you never see anywhere else. Service is always swift and attentive. Absolutely a gem.

Worst Tandoori in town. Charged $30 for two half tandoori and got a roasted bbq which doesn’t even taste good. I only tried this because tandoori eats was closed.
