Anarbagh Indian Cuisine - Los Angeles

They do provide delivery through Restaurants on the Run, but for a hefty fee. Anarbagh offers free local delivery within a five-mile radius, or you can place a takeout order to enjoy a 15% discount. Be prepared for a small wait during dinner hours, as this place has become quite popular. The restaurant has recently been remodeled with new booths, stunning watercolor sky murals on the ceiling, and updated lighting. Street parking on Ventura Blvd. can be tricky, but there is free parking available at the back. The chicken tikka masala here is the best I’ve tasted, having tried it at numerous Indian restaurants across the country. The sauce is rich and creamy, with a wonderful blend of spices and tender, perfectly cooked chicken. One standout dish that I particularly love is the Lamb Mango Masala—tender chunks of lamb in a sauce that tastes like a blend of sweet BBQ and mango chutney. It’s delicious and a great option for those who claim they don’t like lamb. Their dinner for two is an incredible deal at under $40 and includes everything from appetizers and chicken tandoori to a meat curry, a vegetable dish, rice, naan bread, papads, chutney, dessert (gulab jamun, ice cream or baklava), and your choice of soft drinks or tea/coffee. There's also the occasional $10 off coupon in the local mail, which makes it even more appealing. My only wish is that they had a lunch buffet like many other Indian restaurants in the area, but their exceptional dinner offerings more than compensate for that.

I have to admit, when I first learned we would be dining here, I was a bit apprehensive. I expected it to be disappointing, but after visiting Anarbagh, I discovered that Indian cuisine has become one of my favorite types of food.

The Chicken Makhani was really good—perfectly spiced and delicious with the garlic naan. However, the Shahi Paneer didn't quite meet our expectations; it lacked the rich, creamy texture we were hoping for and felt more like Kadhai Paneer. The taste was fine, but the portion of paneer seemed a bit small for the price. As for the Mushroom Biryani, it was my least favorite; it came across more like a pulav and was rather bland and oily. The standout of the meal was definitely the naans—they were soft and packed with flavor. The service was great, the seating was cozy, and there’s parking available in the back. To top it off, they treated us to a complimentary dessert, which was delightful. Overall, we had a nice dinner and I would definitely want to come back to explore more of the menu.

Wow! This restaurant is undoubtedly one of the best spots for Indian cuisine in the area, and the service is incredibly friendly! Every dish bursts with flavor, and they truly go above and beyond to make you feel special. I tried the Malai Kofta (absolutely amazing), Aloo Matar (so delicious), Dal Makhni (fantastic), Vegetable Biryani, Garlic Naan, Cheese Naan, Samosas, and a Mango Lassi. Everything was exceptional—it's hard to believe just how good it all was! This has quickly become one of my favorite restaurants; the quality is consistently excellent. The yogurt sauce and spicy sauces that accompany the meals are also delightful. You definitely need to eat here!

I've been visiting Anarbagh for around 15 years, maybe even longer, and I've always enjoyed the flavors here. All of their dishes are fantastic! If I had one complaint, it would be that I wish the portions were larger given the prices.
