No Longer Worth It – The food was great and inexpensive the first three times I went -- which was two years ago. The time I went a month ago, the service was slow and the food was not as good as I remembered it. The prices had also risen. The last time I went (this past week), my party of three was seated promptly and then forgotten for 25 minutes. After the server went to get the orders from two other tables that had been seated AFTER us, he came to us with a surly attitude! We left. I was lamenting that we had lost a great... read more

Probably the best Indian food I've had in LA – Before I moved to LA I lived in "Little India" in NYC, so was worried I wouldn't get my chana masala fix out west. Luckily I've found Nawab! The food and service are always great. Every one of my friends that I've brought here agrees, this place rocks. Order a side of raita, you won't regret it.

Good food, slow service, very expensive beverages – I'm not generally a fan of buffets, but Nawab's lunch buffet is actually tasty most of the time. If you're not a water drinker with lunch, beware. Each soft drink is $2.50 and served in ridiculously small glasses. This wouldn't be a problem in and of itself, however, there are no refills on soda. While this might seem trivial, with a lunch group of 4 to 5 people and a couple of refills, your drink order quickly becomes half of the price tag. Although they're generally quick... read more

food has been great lately – we have been going to nawab for about a year and a half, and I consider them to have some of the best indian food in the area. lately, the food has been especially good - perhaps they got a new chef. try the "rara mutton" lamb special - excellent.

Decent Indian food, used to be better – This used to be my favorite Indian restaurant in L.A. but the food has declined over the last few years. It's still decent and worth a look, but is not nearly the priority it used to be. It does boast a good variety of dishes including some excellent vegetarian selections. Sadly the food has strayed into blandness compared to its previous scintillating flavors.

Favorite No More – This used to be a reliable, reasonably priced spot for a great Indian meal. However, under new management and with a new chef in the last year or two, the food has become unreliable. The spices that once livened my favorite dishes have been tamed. Chicken curries can either be tenderly delicious or dry and disappointing. Nothing is the same--even the prices have risen. While the staff is still wonderfully knowledgeable and friendly it can be a bit slow. Sadly, I've had to go in search of a new favorite Ind... read more
