Indus by Saffron

This place is not closed. I'm going to eat there tomorrow. I took pictures of the workers and the business itself to show they're not closed. Will update with a review tomorrow.I just had the food here and it was delicious. This business is open, please fix this.

service was fast, and the woman at the counter was very kind ! the price for the amount of food is also pretty reasonable, especially for LA. i got a tofu curry and a tofu tikka masala and was pretty disappointed by both. the curry sauces were both pretty watery (kind of just watery with some red oil floating), and the tikka masala was much sweeter than expected. probably would choose something else the next time i'm in the area.

Favorite quick takeout Indian food! Highly recommend the chicken tikka masala and chicken curry. Both are super creamy and always come out hot and fresh.Best deal seems to be the platter and if you wana be healthy definitely substitute the rice for tandoori vegetables it's so worth the extra $1. The flavoring on the veggies is somehow super amazing and they give you a huge portion.Be sure to also grab a mint sauce and hot sauce on the way out!! The hot is so addicting but definitely avoid touching your eyes at all after or you might be crying for a while lol

I stopped by Indus before going to a Lakers game (despite being 2019 and in Los Angeles, the Staples Center has close to zero vegan options).The samosa ($2) is the only vegan appetizer and tastes pretty good. Get this as a snack while you're wandering around downtown LA or shopping in the stores in the Fig at 7th plaza.The chana masala ($7.75) is the only vegan main course you can get, while all the rest contain dairy. It tasted fine---not too oily or heavy---but the portion size was laughably small. It was basically a scoop of chana and 20 scoops of brown rice. Indus doesn't offer much, but it's more than other places in this food court (at least when it comes to vegan food), so that's why it gets 3 stars.

It's Friday... just ordered a tandoori chicken plate and garlic naan bread for lunch. Chicken was so dry like eating paper. Try to save the food, so back to the cashier asked them if they can give some curry sauce. Do not expect free, additional sauce cost 50 cents. When they passed me the sauce, I can't imagine the portion was so little.... see attached picture , no lies .. I just keep my eyes rolling and full of question marks in my head?? Fact, the food was bad and I will no longer come here again. Period..)) Ps: I don't think the owner even care about the review... as a yelper, its our job to keep posted

I was pretty excited to try this spot as I'm always looking for good/quick Indian food. While this place was fast, I can't say it was anything special. The chicken tikka masala was a bit runny and lacking that strong flavor i love so much. The chicken curry was equally long in definitive flavors. I felt like you could have swapped that out for anything and i would not have noticed the difference.The garlic naan was better than expected, but understandably not on par with what you'd expect at a sit down restaurant.Overall i just felt like there was nothing special about this place and could not recommend it to someone looking for Indian food in downtown.Stay Cheerful ;)

It was a first time to try this place. During my lunch time, I ordered the chicken curry bowl! I do recommend it!

Service is good. Chicken is a bit dry for both the curry and tandoori chicken (white meat). The dark meat is better. One positive is that it is a rare Indian restaurant that actually provides grilled vegetables as the default option on a lunch menu item, as opposed to the standard heaping of rice. Food is good but not something I would crave. The hot sauce they provide on the table is actually very hot and absolutely delicious! Recommend to order with the Ritual app, beat the lunchtime crowd.

To be honest, I'm surprised I haven't been here before given that it is LITERALLY right next to Oleego, where I go to every week. I suppose me trying to avoid eating carbs regularly has something to do with that. But at some point, the craving for Indian food had to hit. Well, it finally did and it was time to make the call.Ended up getting the platter (two curries and rice) with chicken tikka masala and chicken curry with brown rice (at least they have brown rice) and some garlic naan. Think I was more of a fan of the chicken tikka masala than the chicken curry, but that's more of a preference thing than anything as both were quite tasty. For the price, I certainly can't complain.Given my emphasis on diet, doubt I'll make Indus part of regular rotation. But I'll definitely come back again if I'm in a mood for some Indian food.

Food: 3 starsChicken tikka masala - acceptable, nothing special, had a little kick to it, without being too creamy, good amount of chicken chunks in it.Saag paneer - solid, good amount of squeaky paneer in it.Really appreciated that you could choose to get white rice, brown rice, or a salad to go with your 2 entree platter. The salad is a standard spring mix you can get at a supermarket, but I sure felt healthier eating it!Garlic naan - meh. 2 pieces to an order = small/medium sized naan bread. Couldn't taste any garlic and texture was okay.Service: 2 starsTook a while to even get someone out to take my order, and when they saw me (and someone else) standing there, she very lazily said I'll be right there. The attitude was definitely more, "Why are you bothering me?" so I was a bit taken aback. It looked like they were closed, it was only about 7pm on a Thursday night, the plaza wasn't super busy.
