India's Tandoori

Tucked along a bustling stretch of Wilshire Boulevard in Miracle Mile, India’s Tandoori has quietly anchored this neighborhood for over two decades. The dining room makes quite an impression with its ornate orange archways, richly draped red curtains, and glittering chandeliers—think elegant wedding reception meets neighborhood gem. Despite the lavish setting, the space often stays peaceful during dinner hours, making it an unexpectedly serene spot for a solo meal with a warm cup of chai.

The menu covers all the Indian classics you’d expect, and while nothing here will necessarily redefine the genre, everything is executed with reliable consistency and genuine care. The saag paneer stands out with its creamy, deceptively spicy profile and generous portion of squeaky cheese cubes. The lamb biryani delivers fragrant, citrus-kissed rice with tender meat, while the alu paratha—a whole wheat flatbread stuffed with minced potato and pea—proves ideal for mopping up every last drop of sauce.

What truly sets India’s Tandoori apart is its accessibility. The kitchen stays open until 1am, filling a void in a neighborhood starved for quality late-night options. Weekday lunch brings a well-priced buffet, while weekend mornings offer a champagne brunch for those craving daal with their bubbles. Most orders emerge in twenty minutes or less, making this an exceptionally efficient takeout operation when you want something more satisfying than delivery apps can typically muster.

Whether you’re seeking a quick, affordable meal after hours, a peaceful lunch away from the crowds, or simply reliable Indian comfort food without the fuss, India’s Tandoori delivers. The combo dinners offer excellent value if the sprawling menu feels overwhelming, and you’ll leave satisfied knowing this unassuming spot has been getting it right for years.
