Gill’s Cuisine of India

If you haven't tried this spot, your missing out! This hidden gem is a best kept secret for sure. From the moment I came in, I felt at home by Gil. He made sure we were well taken cared of and also helped us with most popular dishes and such. We ordered chicken tiki masala, butter chicken and garlic naan. We also couldn't forget our mango lassi! Everything was AMAZING!! If you haven't come to this pace, you need to make your way!! Heads up, it is cash only or venmo, but other than that

*CASH ONLY / VENMO ACCEPTED*Gill's Cuisine of India is a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that is hidden the the back of a hotel lobby. The hotel entrance is sandwiched between Uncle John's and Hank's Bar. The restaurant recently reopened for business and the operation hours are between 11a-3p. If the entrance to Stillwell Hotel is closed, you can try entering through Hank's Bar or Uncle John.Our server told us that they reopened for business in February 2023, but I didn't find out about it until recently. I still remember the days when I came here for lunch and this place was packed. I truly hope that their business will pick up and they can start serving the lunch buffets again. I was the only patron in the restaurant during my recent visit, but I did enjoy the remodeled restaurant, service, and food there. The quality of food is always good at Gill's. If it is your first time at Gill's, you can always stick to the basics - Chicken Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, or Chicken Tandoori. Please note that their entree does not come with rice/naan. I am not a heavy eater and have found that I can share an order of curry/masala along with an order of rice with a friend for lunch.

I love here ! I tried another famous Indian restaurant before but here's tikka masala tastes better for me fosure.As appetizer, the samosa and chicken (idk the name of the chicken pieces) was perfect. The two sauces come with the appetizer goes well with these dishes. rice and naan have big portion so if 2 ppl go here, just order 1 each of naan and rice.The owner was kind and sweet ! I like here's good service as well. I want to go here soon.* They dont accept card. ONLY VENMO *

I found this place near my office. I tried the lunch plate (2 entrees, w; rice, raita and sweet. I ordered a piece of garlic naan also. The food was all fresh and tasty. I was very happy with my lunch and I plan to return regularly. The man who served me was very kind and provided excellent service. I recommend Gill's Cuisine of India

The food here is so delicious and so much heart goes into it from the owner Gil. He is a wonderful older gentleman who goes above and beyond in her service to you. Always bring CASH they don't take credit cards anymore since they are a smaller business. SUPPORT GIL! His prices are unmatched and his food is amazing a cute little corner of a hotel lobby converted into a restaurant with a thoughtful decor whips out delicious dishes! Always order the lunch plate or really anything on the menu! Help support this small restaurant with delicious and heart warming food! I love all of the food and don't have to overpay for outrageous Indian food prices in LA curry boys doesn't even taste half as good and places in West Hollywood are just not worth the price. Yes it is small and quaint but it doesn't matter if the food is amazing service is good ! COME TO GIL'ssss!!!!

The location is odd, yes, but the man working was absolutely lovely and the food was delicious! We had the chicken tikka masala with two garlic naan and two MASSIVE samosas (could have been a meal in itself) - total came out to less than $30 and was a good value for the amount and quality of food. Sad to see this place so empty during dinner time. Will be frequenting and supporting this small business!

Definitely a hole in the wall type of place. It is inside a somewhat creepy old hotel. We couldn't figure out how to get inside because the front door was locked. A random person told us to go through the bar on the right of the entrance. The restaurant itself is cute. We placed an order by phone for takeout. If you order through the apps, it doesn't let you choose spice level but on the phone the guy asked me how spicy wanted. We got three medium butter chicken, medium chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. It was soooo flavorful. I love Indian food and have eaten at many Indian places around LA but this place is now one of my favorites. The garlic naan was a bit disappointing but the curries made up for it. Payment is via venmo, which was interesting.

Incredible food and gracious service. Went on a Wednesday evening around 5:30 pm, very empty. Ordered (to share with a friend - was filling for us both and we both had a whole meal of leftovers after): the veggie samosas, garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, basmati rice and mango lassi. Everything was full of flavor! The owner (I assume) was very sweet and gave us extra lassi and explained all of the dishes to us. Will definitely return! Bring cash or pay with venmo.

Generous serving, fantastic service, and above all the food is delicious. A great find at in DTLA.

BOMBBBBB!! i dont have any pics because we fucked it up lol but it was a quick pick up before both my sister and bestfriend moved back to new york/chicago. I got the matter paneer and it was soooo goood!! The service was so kind, food was out in 15 minutes, and even gave us an extra samosa so that my friend can try (only 2 per order). Great place!
