Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Excellent choice - dim lighting, spacious booths, and sharing-friendly menu creates natural conversation flow. Not too loud, not too quiet.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weekday lunches yes, but weekend dinners are risky. Bar seating sometimes available for walk-ins, but call ahead Friday-Sunday.
Is it kid-friendly? Yes for lunch and early dinner (before 7pm). High chairs available, mild options on request, but evening atmosphere skews romantic/professional.
Best For
Better for: More refined than Westwood competitors, with tableside service and imported spices that justify the Beverly Hills premium. Best halal fine dining option in the area.
Skip if: You want quick casual Indian or South Indian dosas - try India's Grill in Westwood instead. Also skip if seeking modern fusion - this is traditional execution.
