Seriously the best Indian food I’ve ever tried! When I tell you the curry is creamy and well spiced I mean it. My entire family was pleased with the tenderness of the meat and the textures!

The best and most authentic Indian food in this city.Top notch service and ambiance, they go out of their way to ensure your utmost comfort. I recommend ordering everything medium or hot, you just don’t taste the complexities of the food and spices otherwise. I take a Pepcid and a Beano beforehand, haha. Indian food is my true comfort food, when I want something satisfying and delicious, I come here.

The food is very good. I work near by, so I go there almost once a week for the lunch buffet. Never been disappointed. I love their fresh naan. Friendly staff. I would love to see the Halal sign on the door, so new comers dont need to wonder if it is.

You may drive by this place wondering if you should give it a shot or not. Do it! This place is excellent. Its been here for a quite a while and for good reason. The food is very good and consistently good every time you go back. The atmosphere is cozy. It is not a huge place. The service is also very nice. The people are always very friendly. They never miss a beat. For good, fresh, reasonably priced Indian dishes, This gets a 5/5 from me. I find myself ordering for pickup normally. Even then the food is piping hot and delicious when I get it home. Give it a shot.

Great food. Place has been around for years. The owner is always there. If you like Indian it is the place to go. I would suggest their award winning tandoori chicken. The lamb there is also terrific. Do not miss the chicken wings for an appetizer.Enjoy.Jonathan

Great restaurant! Excellent service and very good food. The chicken curry was very tasty. They ask if youd like it mild, medium or spicy. The naan was the best Ive ever had. Although they were very busy with takeout orders the service was not interrupted.

One of the best lesser-known Indian restaurants casually tucked in Studio City. The food is excellent & the service even more so. Been going here since 2011 and the quality always holds up. Never disappointed. Great for both casual lunches & romantic dinners.

On vacation from Scotland and I have to say, one of the nicest curries that I have tasted. Friendly staff and the owner also took the time to have a chat. I had the lamb Rogan Josh and it was tasty. 5 stars every day of the week.

Review №43

Really good Indian food and friendly service. The prices are a little bit high compared to other local Indian spots, but the portions were fair and well made. My only real complaint with Bollywood Cafe was the noise! Phones were ringing, huge blenders (grinders?) were constantly going off in the kitchen, and employees were arguing near the doorway to the kitchen, which is very close to the seating area. Im sure this wasnt the norm, but it wasnt entirely pleasant for carrying a conversation. Parking is a challenge, so give yourself a few extra minutes.

Review №47

We used a BOGO coupon for dinner. It was a downer not to get rice with our meal, using a coupon or not. Thats an extra cost for some reason. Being new to the city, I dont know if this is a CA custom or just this restaurant. Seemed odd, like ordering spaghetti and having to pay extra for the noodles. Anyway the food was tasty and the staff were friendly: just pricier than I had hoped for.

Review №48

Bollywood Cafe is definitely one of my favorite Indian places in the area. Its easy for Indian food to taste synthetic or generic. The seasonings are hard to get right, but this place nails it. Absolutely delicious. Korma, masala... I love it. Everything is always cooked well, and I am never disappointed.

Veg soup was veggies added to daal ....if u ever wonder who can make ‘sweet’ paneer tikka go to this place ...if u would ever wanna have yellowed jeera rice go to this place. We even asked before ordering if its jeera and rice or something else added they said its simple rice and jeera not sure why there was attempt to make it fried rice

Review №65

Should remove Indian from name...Paneer tikka masala was sweet ..either change name or change recipe as it’s never sweet. Served aalu naan instead of aalu paratha. Vegetable soup was vegetables on top of daal ..pack of instant soup is far better

Review №86

Kind of had a terrible experience.. we ordered paneer tikka masala with instructions for extra spcicy and Malai kofta. But the paneer tikka was more of paneer butter masala and sweeter than kofta. Biryani was instead like sweet vegetable pulao with all vegetable in the store. Staff was kind of rude picking up plates from the table even while people are still eating.. even to get a table we had to wait for 45 minutes despite people on two tables having finished food even before we ordered. A courtesy reminder from staff to the folks that people are waiting is basic expectation..
