I’m surprised that this place doesn’t have more stars bc they never disappoint! We lived in the area for 7 years, and frequented this place often. We always felt like the food was great, service was good and price point very reasonable compared to other restaurants whose fare wasn’t as delicious and also came at a higher cost. (I hope they stay that way!). Anar also values people in the neighborhood, and always treated us well. We ate there the night we first moved into Hollywood, and then also the week we moved out, and countless times in between. Highly recommend the vegetarian dinner for 2: great deal and so yummy. Anar will always remain one of our LA faves no matter where we move… ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Worst food Worst service Ordered Dal tadka, bhindi (Okra), and Channa masala. Only daal was somewhat edible. Bhindi was not fully cooked, I could taste the rawness in vegetable. Channa masala was cooked in the same sauce which is used for butter chicken or butter paneer. Which was not the way you cook channa masala. Despite that, it was pathetic, tasteless and full of color instead of spices. On top of that the server was very rude. My friend wanted to make sure that tandoori roti they had in their menu was made of whole wheat. The server's behavior was weird instead of telling us straight that yes it is made of whole wheat, he said what else would that be. One of the worst experience in a restaurant ever. I would say to people of los angeles and whoever visiting, don't go to this restaurant. Don't make the mistake I made by seeing 4 star on yelp. This is not Indian Food. Hell this is not even food. Stay away.

This has been a go to place of ours for years, and we just ordered delivery tonight. I wanted to give a review because we were talking about how consistent and quality Anar is. We have gotten delivery multiple times over the past few years. They have never messed up our order (but that one time I forgot to add rice to my order, they included a complimentary rice.) The food is always delivered hot, the flavor is consistent and the ingredients are always good quality. The spicy levels are accurate, hot has a nice kick, medium still has a mellow kick with great flavor. (Never tried mild...) We have only visited the restaurant once a couple years back. I remember it was clean and comfortable. Of course we will be ordering again. :)

I am sooooo pissed & very disappointed. I used to think their Indian food was the bomb until today. I used to live across street from this place a few yrs back & would make an occasional visit even after I moved. But today's visit gave a totally different vibe from the moment I walked in. No customers, I the decor was basic & no longer gives that cultural vibe. Then there was menu discrepancies

Very good quality Roti. Bombay aloo was fresh. When asked for Lemon hey gave it right away. Their Nimbu paani is made at the restaurant and tastes pretty good. The medium spice level in this restaurant is VERY LOW spice level for INDIAN origin people. The POS accepts NFC payments. I liked the fact that printing the Receipt is optional. Hence I liked the fact it was CEO friendly. The host Clearly knew every single dish and didn’t even use Pen & Paper. I liked the simple unassuming yet authentic taste of this restaurant. Don’t get carried away by the sub-urban shopping lot the restaurant is local at, the taste compensates for the other short comings.

I love the authenticity of this place; it’s not fussy, the heat is not on when the temperature drops but it has everything that I expect from northern Indian cuisine. Super friendly service and really good food. The malai kofta is on point, along with onion kulcha and samosas. I was even gifted to try their ginger mint lemonade and a soup because I expressed interest after he rang me up. If you want ambience, this is not your place. But if you crave good Indian food after work one day, where you can be in and out, maybe with a friend, and be taken care of really well; this is your spot. Great for take away!

I have recently visited this restaurant while i was returning from Universal Studio and i was searching on gogle and i found this one and main reason i choose this restaurant because of it open at late 1.00 am night and when you travel and visiting Los Angles you always out of time frame and at late at night you find indian food with good quality and excellent service with very sweet spoken girl at night 11.00 clock with sweet smile welcoming guest . Iliked food and specially Sweet Lassi were awsome , great food , great servives with reasonable prices

We just planned to go to this restaurant and never had an expectation to get great food. The moment we entered and got greetings was so great...we ordered the food again the expectation was nothing but once we started having food... Amazing, super and great are the right words to explain the food... We ate like anything and said thanks to the owner/manager for keeping the super taste without burning the belly. Keep it up . If you are reading this comment - you must try the food here once for sure. You will love it.

I was there last month visiting California from New Jersey (finally have time to review) I have to say. This place food is absolutely amazing! I have never tasted such amazing Indian food ever. The spice level is absolutely perfect. The food is well cooked. We even ordered food to go for our folks that we went to go visit. The chicken biryani was my favorite! The appetizer sample is great as well! The service is very nice! I highly recommend this spot! Byob! Next door there is a liquor store, bring your own liquor!

The curry beef was medium spicy, the cuts were well cooked, the curry was made so you can eat it with something sweet and less salt than what many are used to, if your salty bring a shaker, the rice was 7, and the flat bread was 8. Presentation: the curry portion was a little big, the plate was polished steel my fav. the bread might be better cut into semi circular pieces. The place needs a little remodel but I like the unkept furniture.

I thought the food was awesome! We went on a Monday around lunch time and it wasn't busy at all. We got our food quickly. They make it easy for vegetarians/vegans and label what I'd vegan or vegetarian. I got the okra dish. So amazing, never had okra before and the dish was perfectly spiced. Like most Indian restaurants, the food is served family style (in a large dish and you serve it onto you plate). I just wish I had a great Indian restaurant like this is San Diego!

I have been here for my friend birthday. After searching lot of restaurants I went to this one and that too at closing time. But still management so helpful and they made my day so easier. Special thanks to Sandhya front desk who received us and thanks for your patience. Thanks to management. You guys are so sweet. Like your rasmali. The food was so tasty especially the naan and service also to fast. And one more thing the prices are so reasonable. See you guys soon.

They had a suspicious number of 5 star reviews on Grubhub, so I should have known; the hype is bogus, everybody. The veggie samosas were delicious. The portions were nice. Everything arrived. I ate it all. But...I ordered HOT as a wild Friday night move. You know, gettin a little spice going. But the spice level must be for infants. My Mom’s Mom cooks spicier meatloaf than this. Maybe the chef gave up tonight, IDK. No wow factor guys. Sorry for the bad news.

Let me start by saying that I can cook better indian food than these guys do . I mean the food here is not even close to indian . The place is not great either . We ordered chicken biryani and chicken curry and trust me when I say that we threw the food away . Yes , we asked the food to be ToGo ( so we could trash it later ) because we could not even eat a single bite if this pathetic food . DO NOT GO THERE . I regret the money we wasted on this restaurant.

Ordered here after a long time, got the Buy1 Get1 deal Dal Tadka & Garlic Basil Naan and they were absolutely delicious! If you like vegetarian options then you gotta try their Dal Tadka (Order it Hot if you’re into spicy ️ dishes)

I ordered chicken Biryani and shrimp Biryani, Instead I got Chicken and shrimp mixed in Peas pulao. Dear Chef, try to read some recipes and understand the difference between pulao and Biryani. For Pulao, you add peas, vegetables like carrot, beans and colves with rice. For Biryani, you add a lot of spices, ginger, garlic, chilli and no vegetables unless it is vegetable Biryani. When you open a Biryani, it should smell spices, not like the one you sent.

Costumer service was excellent. Waiter was very nice and attentive. Food was very good. I ordered butter chicken and tandoori chicken. I really enjoyed the butter chicken but the tandoori chicken was missing color. It wasn't red like it usually is and the dish had no tomatoes. That's why I gave it a four stars. The restaurant is small and cozy but food overall is pretty good. Prices are very good. There's parking as well. I will definitely come back.

Prices are outrageous a sagg paner rice and garlic naan 21$ yeah right…it’s just a plain rip off the sagg used to come with rice but now it’s an extra 4 dollars for a small portion of rice this place will never see another dime from me. I’m suprised it’s not out of business yet the sagg used to be 8.99 there. Nobody is going to pay 21 dollars for a small cup of sagg and rice.

Unfortunately the ownership isn't in the service business. After checking in about an order that was :20 min late for 90 min wait...I was dismissed and told to deal with it myself, after they were unable to figure out how to check by address to see if an order was out. I wouldn't trust that they value your business enough to care. Wonder what's in the food prep then, if it's the same disregard it's probably not good.

I decided to try a new restaurant and so ordered buttered chicken, sag paneer, veggie samosas (not pictured), and white rice from here. I had prepared a cup of milk, anticipating that the food would be spicy. Surprisingly, nothing was spicy except for the provided sauces! The food was delicious and I unfortunately couldn't finish everything at once, even though I really wanted to. I highly recommend this place! :-)

Okay..I LOVE this place. Not only is it super close to where I am, but more importantly the food is ALWAYS delicious and filling. The staff is incredibly gracious and attentive. I usually order to go, and sometimes while I've waited for my food, they've brought out complimentary small dishes- soup, rice pudding- and always with a glass of water. I will continue going here again and again!

The food was very good. The server stated the level of flavors/spice could be adjusted. We had a rather large party and we ordered a wide variety of foods. Some in the party were not familiar with Indian food and everyone enjoyed everything. Wait staff was very busy, seemed like there were many delivery orders and we noticed many orders picked up. I recommend it and would eat here again.

- "B" rating posted on window from the inspection, extremely discouraging, saw it in the middle of the meal:/ - Chicken wasn't fresh in the chicken masala dish - Has to change a table because the first one smelled funny I came here long time ago and had a memory of it being a tasty hole in the wall place. My recent visit turned out to be nothing like the memory. Wouldn't come again

Food was actually great but the waiter was very rude. Was taking our order as if he was doing us a favor and delivery of spoons and plates was brash. The time of visit was the same as the time of this review. The experience of eating was tarnished because of the waiter. Also he lied that there was no tea when I asked for tea while the menu clearly states there is tea on the menu.

Horrible service!! We ordered and paid online. Order was not ready when we arrived. Charged us again when we arrived. Came home and order was not our order!! Called they acknowledged we got the wrong order, we drove back to get the correct order and they refused to compensate us for anything. POOR SERVICE! Will never recommend or return!

This is one of my favorite Indian spots in LA! The vegetarian dinner for two is my go to, the malai kofta is my absolute favorite. Everything is so fresh and delicious, service is friendly, and everything I’ve ever had makes me so happy.

This is clearly a family-operated place devoted to good food and service - they are open late hours for the Hollywood neighborhood who loved them and this adds to the friendly, cozy vibe. Customers love their blended tea and lemonade drinks so they bottle them now. All the Indian classics are on the menu at an affordable price.

This place is awesome. You get a lot of food for what you pay, and the Korma is one of the best Indian dishes I've ever had. One word of warning: last I checked, the dinner combo with the soup costs more than all of its components individually. So it's best to buy individual dishes, rice, naan, etc when you order here.

Seriously so good!! The Naans are amazing and veggie masala is delicious. I ordered my food late and it came steaming hot. 10 minutes later my food was still piping hot- rare for delivery! Only thing is main dish does not come with rice. Great food, great service, all around great restaurant. I'll definitely return!

Ordered off Uber eats.. the Tandoori chicken was on special bogo. When it arrived both platters where under cooked bloody chicken I instantly threw it in the trash and had to reorder dinner from another place. Idk if they is a usual thing for them for off day but definitely won’t be eating here again! …

Its not a good place for indian food minimum for vegetarian Indian food. We ordered Samosas and it was very bad and and had smell. We tried to cancel our order but they said it already under process. Sag Paneer was average and Dal was bad. Will not recommend vegetarian Indian food at this place. …

It was an Uber eats order so they did not care to send the right bread order. I ordered tandoori roti..it was for my sick kid..and they sent me some fried bread( may be bhatoora)...and my kid couldn’t eat much. Wouldn’t order again... the food tasted ok except the bread mess up which was bad for us.

Delicious food! Pescatarian and vegetarian friendly place with well-organized menu (no surprise meat). Good lamb dishes, too. My favorite Indian delivery place in Hollywood. The food always arrives well-packed and the right temperature. They have their own drivers, so delivery is quick.

Food is great and the portions for the dinner for two were huge! Server was very slow and distracted even though we were the only ones in the restaurant. Lots of people coming in to pick up deliveries... Music was eclectic, like the authentic Indian vibe but could do without the rest.

FOOD POISONING SALMONELLA Hello I am 13 years old i am writing about an experience i had Dec 2015. I NEARLY DIED because i was so young. I suffer from post traumatic stress disorder. I got salmonella from this place i ordered the chicken tika misala. PLEASE DO NOT EAT FROM HERE

Worst restaurant in LA would never recommend any one so tacky menu u can actually feel the Dishes on their menu yuck they don’t even keep their menu clean god knows what they do in kitchen felt like puking when i entered the place don’t even eat if they give it for free …

We ordered chicken biryani and it Is not like biryani at all and very bad taste. Samosa and paneer tikka was horrible and we had stomach upset. Our evening got spoiled during our trip in LA. I didn't expect that the food would give stomach upset.my kids ate the food too.

My absolute favorite Indian Food in the LA area. I was thankful that when i moved from Los Feliz to NoHo that I was still in their delivery area!!! We always get the Veg Dinner for 2 and it's always mountain of well prepared and tasty food for a pretty reasonable price.

I ordered biryani, they have given Pulav , and it is also most worst food, I have ever had, along the side I ordered roti which is very hard I can’t even eat it.. and for pulav so called biryanis they won’t even given raitha or gravy ..... I want to give less than one

I ordered a dinner and some naan. I opened up the bag and they forgot the Rice and my soup.When I called they refused to deliver the rice and offered me a $3 refund. $3 off a $25.00 meal that was mediocre at best and i had tipped the driver $4.00 .. Skip this place

Honestly, just really good, solid Indian food! They are great at the staples, fast, and would definitely get from there again!

Ordered take out: Aloo Gobi and Tarka Dal - just excellent - so good. And the lemonade is perfect for this hot spike of weather! Vegetable samosa with cilantro chutney, Giant garlic naan, and fried rice filled out what is simply a fabulous dinner. Thank you!

Great tasting food. Shrimp curry is lovely ( if you enjoy sweet food). And Chicken Masala was delicious. Speedy home delivery, I was surprised. For the price take-away food portions are very small. Increase food portions for take-away to get higher rating!

Both stars for service, provided warm water, freshly made tea, salad upon request. Veg dishes tasted better (dal, okra, naan, roti) Chicken dishes had a smell. Photos vs real ambiance is very different The rating must be because of the regular customers

I love getting delivery from Anar. I feel it's more healthy than many Indian food places and I can tell there isnt a bunch of dye on the tandorri to make it neon pink. I don't know for sure but I don't wake up with that bad feeling the next day ;)

The chicken biryani was good. The service was not that good but it got pretty busy and they only had one guy. The waiter let a couple next to me being ans consume alcohol from next door. Overall, it was good. I will order takeout nextime though .

I order delivery from Anar regularly and Anar is my most favorite Indian restaurant so far. I can say they are one of the best Indian food you can find in LA. Food is always delicious and prompt . Butter chicken and Beef Tandori are a must try

consistent. ordered garlic cheese naan and mushroom masala. naan had generous cheese and tasty. previously ordered veggie korma n chili naan. chili naan was spicy korma and it was good too

This place had very good food its very tasteful !and have I mentioned very attentive staff . Watch out because you can easily miss it ! They were very quick with bringing food out. And the Samosa are a must specially the vegetable ones!

Ordered at 9p Food arrived at 10:40p...1hs40min late They forgot to put of 1/2 the order in the bag When called, they had no really valid excuse and only refunded $8. Seemed as they really didn't that the service wasn't very good.

Just fantastic flavors & the samosas were the best I've ever eaten. Coconut shrimp slightly overdone - the one and only bit of meh. Service was lovely & I received a free dessert for no apparent good reason ☺ Highly recommended.

Great Restaurant w/ Yummy Indian Food. Don’t let the location and size fool you. The food and hospitality is really awesome. Parvez was very humble and welcoming. The food and service was sooo good that we came two days in row.

Anar has the best Indian food. This is one of favorite places to come and eat. Their food was all savory and full of flavor. The staffs are all friendly and very helpful. Definitely recommend all their dishes and be back.

The food was great and for the lunch menu the prices are incredibly good. The service was also amazing, the guy was very kind and nice, helped us every way he could. Would go back every week if we would live closer!

As soon as I saw the chicken curry we had ordered, we realized it was a big big mistake. I've ever come accross a more tasteless curry. It brought back horrible memories of potato curry I used to have at my hostel.

I have eaten a lot of Indian food. In many cases, it tastes like hot spicy slop. Anar has the most flavorful Chicken Tikka Masala I have ever had. Amazing Saag Paneer. This is the best Indian food I have ever had.

NO flavor in the food no salt the worst meal I’ve ever had waste of money avoid if you could

I was visiting LA, ordered chicken biryani and chicken madras, ask them to make spicy. The only thing we can taste was red chilly powder, spicy doesn't mean exta red chilly powder.

Worst food ever, this place does not serve good Indian food. I went out with my wife and everything was just nasty including the water. I will never go to this place again.

Shady Indian restaurant. The curries tastes like they were not prepared in-house and service was poor. Liked the naans over here. Cheese naan recommended for cheese lovers

The worst Indian restaurant I have ever been to. On the top of it the service is THE WORST. We been waiting there for our second round order and had to wait for an hour...

Taste flat. No flavor lol They said Buffalo wings come with yogurt dipping but Im sure it’s RANCH DRESSING LOL ps... Their nan is like gummy... I mean too chewy lol

Just enjoyed a wonderful take-out dinner from Anar. Consistently GREAT food, delivered hot -- how do they do it? Could not recommend more highly. Thank you Anar!

Very bad service, they won't even provide spoons amd forks when you order online. Worst experience ever, food is also really bad. Bad quality and horrible taste.

This has been our go-to for take out and we honestly get it once a week. Delicious food. Love the chicken tika masala, garlic naan, somosas and mango lassis.

Average neighborhood Indian restaurant. I would pass this next time. Authentic Indian - Nope Cleanliness - Average Ambience - Average Quantity - Average

Food is always on point, customer service is always friendly and helpful, and so it makes since why I go there often...even through this Pandemic!

Great Indian Food At Is Best. Delivery With In 5 Miles & Takeout. All Dishes Are Made To Order Delivered Hot And Fresh Right At Your Front Door.

I am vegan now so i got a lot of the vegetable dishes. The bread is not gluten free so be aware of this, otherwise the food is very good.

Great food! Traveled to many cities trying Indian food and this is one for the best so far! Small interior and humbling. Come eat here!

Delicious Saag Paneer and other vegetable dishes. There are quite a lot of Indian restaurants in this are, but this one is a cut above.

The food is great, we went 2 nights in a row, staff are great, also Kim Kardashian was dining there the 1st night must be good !!!!

It's was the worst taste of Indian food , boss boy was rude too ! Not recommending to anyone and Never try this place again ...

Very small but cozy restaurant. Good variety of menu items for vegan and non-vegan diners. Reasonably priced. Friendly staff.

Poor maintenance.. smelling food.. served fried rice in the name of biryani.. Worst indian restaurant we ate in US till now..

I ordered a meal for delivery. It was not delivered. They have always been slow, but now they are unreliable altogether.

Pretty good. Prices are a little high for the quality. It's classic Indian food for about 14 dollars a plate.

Tasted like watered down Indian food. Wouldn't recommend. I don't understand how this has 3.5 reviews....

Always a great place to eat and often order takeout. Parking lot is a bit crazy but definitely worth it.

Love the food & service here at Anar. Food is amazing here. Try the chicken Masala & Chicken Biryani.

Its not an indian restuarant. All staff are mexican and food is crap. Not even properly cooked.

Delicious food, generous portions, great prices (with Grubhub coupons) I love this restaurant!

Food was 50 minutes late and they hung up on us when we called to ask when it would be here.

Great vegan standards done right. Very nicely ambianced hole in the wall. Awesome service.

Food is delicious. Cons: tandori fish is totally overcooked almost every time ordered.

Just ordered tandoori chicken and received burnt tandoori. Waste of money and time.

Small restaurant but very tasty food. Lot of options for vegans and vegetarians.

Friendly service and tasty foods ! A great stop after a show at the bowl

Really nice and quick service as well as delicious, fresh food.

Horrible restaurant and food ever.Please never go to this place

Don’t go by the looks of it. The food was very much delicious.

You get all variety of Indian cuisine including non vegetarian

Excellent taste of Indian food. Good value ! I will be back !
