55421 Tue Aug 12 17:20:55 -0700 2003 20 2 Los Angeles Area 0 287084 I'm addicted to this stuff. Just wondering where you guys like to go for Chicken Tikka Masala. I've had it at Amdaba Dhaba or whatever it is on Westwood and Sepulveda...it was ok, but I liked the versions at Akbar (Marina) and All India Cafe (West LA) better. Tue Aug 12 17:20:55 -0700 2003 0 Xericx 1 287101 The Clay Pit on Barrington just south of Sunset does a good one -- not cheap though. Tue Aug 12 19:19:48 -0700 2003 287084 0 PeteEats 2 287127 At the Clay Pit the thing to get are the Tandoori Lamb Chops. WOW! Naan is better than most too. Tue Aug 12 23:00:43 -0700 2003 287101 0 Just Larry 1 287109 I like the chicken tikka masala at India's Oven, on Beverly near La Brea. Tue Aug 12 19:54:50 -0700 2003 287084 0 Alison B. 2 287121 also very good at India's Oven at Wilshire 1 blk. west of San Vicente Tue Aug 12 21:53:22 -0700 2003 287109 0 Key Lime Guy 1 287112 India's Grill, San Vicente & La Cienega Tue Aug 12 20:19:01 -0700 2003 287084 0 Sandra W. 2 287140 I like India Grill also. and that's always what I order.

Tue Aug 12 20:38:23 -0700 2003 287084 0 mikhail 1 287126 The best I have ever had by far is at Nawab on Wilshire (around 17th St.)in Santa Monica, the most affordable (and also quite enjoyable)is at Shershaw on the buffet in Marina Del Rey in the shopping center with Aunt Kizzy's. Tue Aug 12 22:58:53 -0700 2003 287084 0 Just Larry 2 287130 Nice. I'm a frequent visitor of Shershah's sunday or saturday brunch. One of the better ones around for that genre. I go to Nawab, it being a block from my office. Always get the buffett for lunch, but I'll try the Chicken Tikka Masala next time. :) Wed Aug 13 00:36:11 -0700 2003 287126 0 Xericx 1 287151 Amazingly enough (since Westwood is such a culinary death zone), the new Indian place called Bombay Bite, on Gayley between Kinross and Weyburn, is very good and makes a nice chicken tikka masala. They also do a good chicken saag. It's quite inexpensive, and they put out a nice crispy bread with some good sauces. Wed Aug 13 12:43:06 -0700 2003 287084 0 jcwla 1 287313 Lawrence of India!!! This place had the most consistent food and very reasonably priced. I posted a few months about if anybody knows "what happened to Lawrence of India" because it is gone and nobody knew what had happened. They were in a hole-in-the wall strip mall off of Culver Drive in Culver City area. Anybody remember this? Fri Aug 15 15:21:42 -0700 2003 287084 0 Rob 2 3014779 I had some Indian food the other day, but it just isn't the same. Anybody else every hear of Lawrence of India or know where their chef/family might have moved to? Would be greatly appreciated. Mon Oct 08 11:02:50 -0700 2007 287313 60925 robl 1 287589 try the curry palace, on sunset, next to the coach and horses. Tue Aug 19 12:45:35 -0700 2003 287084 0 mark jameson 1 288052 I like it from Al-Noor's on Inglewood and Marine. So far, that is my favorite chicken tikka masala. Sat Aug 23 20:34:40 -0700 2003 287084 0 Tari 1 3014948 Anarkali on Melrose and La Brea have a fantastic Tikka Masala sauce. Creamy with just enough spice. I will often ask for a side of it to dip naan in in addition to what the dish comes with. You can never have enough sauce! Mon Oct 08 11:39:14 -0700 2007 287084 93949 cecibean 1 3019654 Gill's Downtown LA in the Stillwell Hotel has excellent Chicken Tikka Masala. I always request all white meat...and it is reasonable. The onion naan bread there is like dessert...unbelievably good. Most customers are Indian... Tue Oct 09 16:45:37 -0700 2007 287084 75707 RobertC 2 3019672 I live close by and often get take out from Gill's - and we're addicted to their CTM and garlic naan! I thought of them as soon as I saw this thread. I don't know that much about Indian food, but objectively, this is good stuff! Tue Oct 09 16:50:03 -0700 2007 3019654 59549 aching 1 3783569 The best I've had is at Hurry Curry on Venice and Beethoven near Venice High School. They have great naan also. There is a Hurry Curry in Berkeley that is equally as good. My work ordered from a place called Shalimar, and they were actually on par with Hurry Curry. I've also tried this dish at India's Oven (decent), Kimura Exotic Cuisine on Motor and Venice (Chicken is delicious, but the sauce itself is bland), the indian restaurant right next to Kimura (complete crap, and their naan is basically just flour and water; like cheap pizza dough), and also another place I can't name that delivers (similar to Kimura). And I only think the place is called Kimura but it definitely says Exotic Cuisine. I've only been there once so it could be Shimura... not sure.
