New India Sweets & Spices

This is my best kept secret. I question my judgement in sharing it now :-) New India Sweets & Spices is a neighborhood Indian Grocery and Restaurant. I sometimes pick up a few grocery items when I am there, but no mistake... i come for the home-cooked FOOD. This is THE BEST Indian food in the city, for the best price. Indian food is ALWAYS soooo overpriced, and so, that makes it impossible for anyone to eat it regularly.... except for here. At New India Sweets & Spices... you can get a plate food, in really good portions, and the cost is really really really reasonable. Every day they have the hot buffet ready with typical dishes... aloo gobi, butter chicken tikka masala, korma, curry, etc. etc. There's usually 2 meat dishes already cooked and at least 4 - 6 vegetable dishes. All of them are good. You can't go wrong. If you want something else from the menu, they will cook it for you, on the spot. As others have mentioned it is a family run business... and even more reason to support this mom-and-pop, family run, longtime neighborhood business.And did I mention that the food is delicious?? I will say it again.... .deeeee-lic-i-ous !!!I hope New India Sweets & Spices stays open for a long long time.Lately, i have passed by and they have been closed, which is a bit worrisome.I see James R.'s review ... "under new management, they don't sell hot food anymore." That hasn't been my experience, unless this is something very new.I hope it is not true, and that that review is just a mistake, referring to a different India's Sweets & Spices. The photo posted with James's review doesn't look like THIS New India's Sweet & Spices. There have been a couple in the neighborhood, so maybe that is the mix up.

It is a grocery/restaurant like most India Sweet & Spices but this particular branch's food is 10 times better than lot of other "well known" Indian restaurants In SoCal! The family who runs it are super friendly & accommodating and their Yellow Daal (eat it with Bature which is fried puffed bread) is one of the best Lentil dish I've had in LA! Their Chicken Biryani's also really good and don't forget to ask them to make these 2 dishes Spicy if you can handle heat.You can also have options of some already cooked vegetable & meat dishes on the right side of the cashier area.

Quick, and easy bite to eat at this place. The lady at the counter who helped with our order was very sweet. We tried the choley batturey, dahi papdi chaat and thaali. Food was just about all right, simple homey fare. But could definitely could use more spice and seasoning. I felt the taste was a tad bland for me, and for my kids and that's not typical for Indian fare that should be bursting with flavor.

Very very good. Ordered the chicken tikka masala, palak paneer and garlic naan. Extremely good and got a few things from the store to make at home.

I really like this place; the food is delicious and the groceries are well priced. The service isn't the friendliest but they make up for it with results. I really appreciate the intimate ambiance of the place, and appreciate having it around for whenever I'm hungry in a pinch

It's amazing i love this place Food is amazing the service is great and fast i love this place I can't stop my self going back there

Really great bang for your buck here. I came here last Thursday based on reviews that people had posted saying the food was great and the portion size was huge. Well they did not disappoint and this cute shop really makes you feel like you were eating in a a household with home-cooked food. Time seems to stop when you're sitting inside here,And there is no need to be anywhere else but the moment. Can't wait till the next time I can come back here and enjoy the delicious curries and tandoori chicken.

LOVE THIS PLACE ! Reminds me of home at my local sweet and spice shop . The people who work here are extremely informative and care about the quality of foods and spices they carry . I really feel understood and right at home finding spices here . I buy countless amounts of things I do and don't need . It's organized , not super overwhelming , and smells amazing ! They have a little of everything in this store / restaurant. Everyone will leave you alone while you shop and actually help when you need help . There's no parking here but the everything is great ! 10/10 for meeeeeee until my next homemade food project ciao !

The food here is pretty good. Prices are pretty good also. But you're rolling the dice whether or not they'll be open when you arrive. They're listed as being open until 10pm, but several times (too many) I've shown up before that time, sometimes way before that time, like this evening at 9pm, and they're shut. This gets boring. And this isn't the only place that does this in LA!! Don't trust those opening hours. They're often written wrong on here or the establishments just decide them arbitrarily on the fly every day. Call first (I guess) to avoid disappointment and hunger!

Under new management, they don't sell hot food anymore! I used to come here a lot but now I can't
