India Sweets & Spices

This place is an absolute delight. The store owners are so sweet and gave me samples when I wasn’t sure what I wanted. The prices are more than fair, and most importantly, the food is absolutely to die for. I got a plate from the hot bar and a vegetarian burrito to put in my freezer next time I need an easy meal. I will definitely be back for a meal and for my ingredient needs!!

This vegetarian Indian restaurant & grocery truly serves its neighborhood. It's not a place you'd call touristy/gentrified, compared to the establishments that are just across the street in downtown Culver City. The space is small but what you get are cozy vegetarian Indian meals and desserts that are easy on the wallet.

Small local business that needs to be experienced! This unassuming location in the heart of Culver city is packed with food and has a friendly atmosphere that will want you to come back! This store sells everything needed to fill your cupboards with Indian spices and products. But the lure to this place is the all vegetarian food. A great selection of hot and cold Indian street food items that are both savoury and sweet is as authentic to India as you can get. The owners are friendly can’t walk away without having a smile on your face. Their hot chai is a must along with their mango lassi. Everything is freshly made bursting with flavour. This store has the regulars that know their favourites by heart and will make you want to add this place to your favourites as well.

This place is amazing. I've been coming since I was 15, and I'm 36 years old now. The family that runs it is always there, behind the counter, ready to help anyone find what they're looking for. The food options have so much variety, different rices, different vegetable options, different proteins, amazing lassi drinks and an assortment of canned beverages are behind the counter. It's right in the middle of downtown but it's away from the hullabaloo of the main road, so it feels like it takes up very much it's own space. It's authentic Indian food and it's very delicious. I'm so grateful the place has been around as long as it has. There's something to say about anyone who does the same thing for 2 decades, they definitely love what they do, and there's a steadiness to them that you can count on. Go for a meal, stay for awhile, in an alcove away from the city. If you go on Tuesdays, you can walk to the Farmer's Market, right across the street.

We've been enjoying the amazing food at this establishment for over 20 years, often after our nearby dance class. The food is always authentic and delicious, and the ambiance is wonderful. The owners, Mr. Moan and his wife Susan, are from Kerala and even offered us valuable advice for our travels to South India. Their warm hospitality and flavorful dishes keep us coming back. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, down-to-earth dining experience!

Everything so yummy!! I don’t understand how they have 4.3 reviews when it should be 5 stars! Filling and flavorful. Everything was done well! Lentils and garbanzos were soft in texture! Will come back!

We’ve been going here for years for their vegan dishes and love the flavor. Their jackfruit curry is particularly good, and they make a soy chai on request.
