Los Angeles, CA
Best Indian in Los Angeles.
Harry's top 10 Indian spots in Los Angeles score 84–92 on the Harry Score.
Artesia's Little India, on Pioneer Boulevard, is the real center of gravity — one of the largest Indian commercial enclaves in the country, built by the Gujarati community since the early 1980s, not a strip-mall afterthought. That history means LA's strength is the vegetarian thali, not the butter chicken most American cities lean on: an unglamorous steel tray, six bowls, refilled without asking, judged on whether the dal is seasoned past salt and the roti comes out hot. A kitchen that can't do that has no business doing biryani.
