A long-running Mar Vista vegetarian counter-service spot attached to a small Indian market, best known for its fast-moving hot bar and snack case. The food leans homestyle North and South Indian, with bright spices and steady portion-to-price value that keeps locals coming back for quick weeknight dinners and casual lunches. Expect a simple setup, big variety, and a grab-and-go rhythm more than a sit-down experience.
Must-Try Dishes:
Vegetarian thali from the hot bar, Samosas with tamarind and mint chutneys, Mysore masala dosa
