PSL Street Food
Counter-style Indian street food spot that crosses lanes into fresh-made tacos, with everything cooked from scratch daily
Worthy Picks
7.7
A counter-style operation on Chesapeake Ave that splits its kitchen between Indian chaat staples like pav bhaji and bhel puri and fresh-made chicken tacos, with everything built from scratch daily. The crossover concept works because the scratch cooking holds up on both sides of the menu, and the street-food pricing keeps the whole ticket low. Still very early—eight reviews deep—so expect a no-frills setup tuned for fast pickup rather than lingering.
Must-Try Dishes:
Chicken Tacos, Pav Bhaji, Bhel Puri

#2
SPICE-X
7.4
A halal Indian counter-service spot in Baldwin Hills that pairs traditional curries and samosas with unexpected touches like housemade avocado salsa and fresh salad sides. The kitchen prioritizes natural, from-scratch preparation at accessible prices, though the experience can be polarizing—nearly half of visitors rate it at the top while a notable fraction walks away disappointed. Works best when you lean into the chicken plate and chana masala lane and treat it as a budget-friendly, no-frills stop.
Must-Try Dishes:
Samosa, Chicken Plate with Pita Bread and Salad, Chana Masala
What Makes it Special: Halal Indian kitchen serving fresh, natural preparations with housemade sides like avocado salsa and fresh salads alongside traditional curries
