Indimex Eats Indian Restaurant
7.9
Indian-Mexican fusion run out of a Cahuenga car wash, built around a short menu that wraps tikka masala and spiced lamb into burritos and tacos with chutney. The format is pure counter service—order, grab, go—and the price point lands well below what the flavor complexity suggests. It works as a high-frequency lunch stop for the Hollywood stretch, where the fusion concept is executed with enough conviction to hold up across 471 reviews at a 77% five-star clip.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Tikka Masala Burrito, Lamb Taco, Mango Lassi

Cultural Relevance: 7.8
What makes it special: Indian-Mexican fusion counter tucked inside a Hollywood car wash, where tikka masala gets wrapped in burritos and tacos come topped with chutney.
Who should go: Adventurous eaters who want bold, affordable fusion on Cahuenga.
When to visit: Open daily; counter service means no wait most hours.
What to order: Start with a Chicken Tikka Masala Burrito — it's the signature for a reason — then add a Lamb Taco for contrast and finish with a Mango Lassi to cool down.
Insider tip: The restaurant is literally inside a car wash — get your car cleaned while you eat.
Logistics & Planning
Parking: Small shared lot with the adjacent car wash—free but limited to a few spots; additional free street parking on Cahuenga and side streets
Dietary Options
Vegetarian options: Dedicated 'Vegetarian Entrees' menu section with tofu vindaloo, paneer dishes, dal, spinach preparations, and vegetable curries; vegetarian appetizers include samosas and pakora
Vegan options: Mulligatawany soup explicitly labeled vegan on the menu; several vegetable curries and dal dishes are plant-based, but only the soup carries an explicit vegan label—ask staff to confirm others
Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Not ideal for a traditional first date — this is a casual, budget-friendly fusion spot located inside a Hollywood car wash complex. The vibe is cozy and fun with movie posters and colorful decor, but it's more street-food energy than romantic ambiance. That said, if your first date style is adventurous and low-key, sharing tikka masala burritos here could be a memorable icebreaker. Best for casual "let's grab a bite" dates rather than impress-someone dinners.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Yes — this is a casual, counter-style spot where walk-ins are the norm. It's a small space, so during peak dinner hours on weekends you may wait briefly, but generally you can walk in and grab a table without issue. They do accept reservations if you want to guarantee a spot, especially for the heated outdoor tables.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes — the casual, relaxed atmosphere is well-suited for kids. The menu has plenty of approachable options like burritos, tacos, and rice dishes that work for younger eaters, and the noise level is forgiving. The outdoor patio is dog-friendly too, so the whole family (pets included) can come along. Best to visit earlier in the evening before it gets busy.
Is it good for groups? Manageable for small groups of 4-6, but this is a compact restaurant so larger parties may be a squeeze. The outdoor heated patio can help with overflow. For groups over 6, call ahead at (323) 467-7462 to confirm they can accommodate you. Not suited for large celebrations or private events — keep it casual and small.
Is there outdoor seating? Yes — heated outdoor seating is available, which is a real plus for the Hollywood location. The patio is dog-friendly. Note that the restaurant sits within a car wash complex, so the outdoor setting is more functional than scenic. Still, on a nice LA evening with the heaters going, it's a solid option for dining al fresco.
Best For
Better for: A fast, affordable Indo-Mexican fusion lunch on Cahuenga—biryanis, masala burritos, and tikka quesadillas for under $15 with free parking in Hollywood
Consider Alternatives If: You want a quiet, white-tablecloth Indian dinner—this is a casual counter-service spot in a car wash plaza
