Masala Dosa & So Much More

One of if not the best indian market I have ever visited. Full kitchen with large variety of vegan items. Incredibly well stocked market.

Very kind

This is a very kind place. I did some shopping at the market and decided to get a vegan plate afterward. It's very inexpensive for what you get, a great deal, and the food was all tasty.

The extra special thing that happened was when a houseless person came in while I was eating and told one of the people working here that he had two dollars and change, and asked if that was enough to buy a plate. The guy working wasn't having it, though, and just said, very warmly, you want a plate? I'll give you a plate. And he made him up a plate of food. And that was that. A totally natural and human thing to do, but I don't think we see it a lot these days. So I think this is a very special place.

Vegetarian's Heaven

Thumbs up for India Sweets and Spices on Los Feliz (there are several different locations, apparently owned or managed differently). I'm a strict vegan and they are able to accomodate my diet. They have substantial dairy but otherwise they are 100% vegetarian. They are a counter-service eatery...no table service...you order at the counter after you study the various food options of the day that are pre-made through a display case window. ASK if they have dairy in their foods...some do, some don't and make sure you identify Ghee (clarified butter) in your objection. When I order their Masala Dosa (my favorite dish there), I specifically ask that they use oil and not ghee. The owner is such an incredibly friendly fellow, that he is part of the joy of eating there. He is always happy and greets me every visit. The atmosphere is a bit barren and cold, but I love the Bollywood videos that they have playing on a tv there. There is a large indian foods market attached...this is where I buy my Vicco toothpaste (the only toothpaste that I've found that doesn't contain glycerin, which blocks the beneficial recalcification of tooth enamel from our saliva), my indian spices, and all types of unique rices and amazing food ingredients that I still don't know how to cook with.

Pros: delicious, super friendly owner, Reasonable Prices

Cons: counter-service, barren atmosphere, have dairy

Quick tasty meal

We stopped in last Saturday for a late lunch and the place was still hopping. The place is cafeteria style with basic tables and plastic utensils, but it hit the spot for a quick lunch. We ordered lunch plates and they pointed out the items with dairy to avoid which was only the kofta this time. We got one plate with dal and squash and another one with cauliflower and choley. They both came with a samosa, rice, chapati and soda. We ordered an extra fried stuffed pepper as well. It was all good and tasty. The staff were really friendly. We wanted to check out the store too, but will have to do that the next time we come back.

Pros: quick, lots of vegan items, nice staff

Cons: plain basic setting

real indian food

The place reminds me of India - the food is spicy and there is always music on (oh well, not live music). It is not a vegan restaurant but they seem to understand the idea and always have vegan options. Of course, there is a possibility of cross-contamination, but the food is good, the service is fast.

Pros: good food, cheap, fast

Cons: for some people food can be too spicy, they use styrofoam

Great bargin!

The food here is straight forward South Indian cuisine and is incredible. Inexpensive combo specials are available daily. I think its the only restaurant in the area where you can choose from several different dosas. Ignore the styrofoam plates, plastic utensils, and sometimes lacking service,and enjoy the taste of the food.

Pros: Delicious food, South Indian cuisine, cheap

Cons: mediocre service, plastic and styrofoam, lack of ambiance
