Arth Bar & Kitchen - Indian Restaurant in Culver City

Arth Bar is a total hidden gem—think upscale American bar meets modern Indian soul. The space is stunning, the food is a delight, and the vibe is unmatched. It’s not your average Indian restaurant; it’s an experience. We were lucky enough to catch a live performance by Simran, and she was absolutely phenomenal. Not just background music—this was an artist you stop eating just to listen to. We love that Arth Bar supports emerging talent like her. It’s so refreshing to see a restaurant truly champion local artists and give them a platform. Every dish was packed with flavor and beautifully plated, and the cocktails were just as thoughtful. Whether you’re here for the food, the drinks, or the music—it delivers on all fronts. We’ll definitely be back.

Excellent food and service! I have eaten at many Indian restaurants as my husband is Indian and I typically do not like goat. We ordered goat curry and I absolutely loved it I kept taking it from my husbands plate. They definitely marinated it well as it was very soft and fell apart easily/ tender and not chewy at all!! We ordered butter chicken as well and it was very delicious! Both dishes bahut accha hai!! Mujhie pasand pai! Drinks were great as well! I ordered the margarita and it was spicy/tangy. Naan was fresh, and fantastic they must have a tandoor here! We will be coming back!

I usually forget that this place is here. Even if walking by, it doesn’t really draw my attention. They were part of the Downtown Business Summertime “crawl” and I promised myself that I would remember to go in. I finally had a chance, and I am excited to say that this is my new fav Indian place in the area. And it’s walking distance from my office. The food didn’t have too huge of a heat/spice, but just enough for a Mango Lassi to cool. I loved the chicken bites. The butter chicken/tikka sauce was a bit more tomato based than I’m used too, but the flavors were intense. The tikka tacos were kind of insanely good. The garlic naan is perfect, and I could definitely eat more than what came with the lunch special. The paneer chili appetizer was unique. I think I would try it with the chicken next time. Overall, I’ll definitely be back!

Arth Bar & Kitchen in Culver City is our go-to spot for authentic Indian cuisine. We recently went for brunch and enjoyed the Bombay Pav Bhaji, Hakka Noodles in Chili Garlic Sauce, and Masala Omelet. The Bombay Pav Bhaji was perfectly spiced, with soft, toasted pav buns. I especially ove the taste of Khada Masala used in the bhaji! The Hakka Noodles had a great balance of heat and garlic, making it a standout dish. The Masala Omelet was fluffy and well-seasoned, paired nicely with a fresh salad. It made us remember "maa ke haath ka khana" The ambiance is warm and inviting, and the staff is friendly and attentive. I love that they have a huge patio section so one can enjoy their meals comfortably with their dog :)) For anyone craving genuine Indian flavors, Arth Bar & Kitchen is a must-visit. We'll definitely be back!

I have been to Arth many times over the last couple of years, and it remains my go-to for Indian food in the LA area! From brunch to a heated patio to private events, this location offers so much in the heart of walkable downtown Culver City. Their menu expertly combines traditional Indian cuisine with modern fusion dishes. Their butter chicken, spinach and paneer kofta, dal makhmali, and burnt raita are particularly exquisite and taste just like home while being innovative and delicious. I also particularly appreciate their vegan butter chicken and other vegetarian options for my family and friends with dietary restrictions. The servers are always kind and attentive, and the bar is fully stocked with plenty of Desi-inspired cocktails that are as tasty as the food. There is also a nearby public parking structure on Watseka that makes it easy to get to the restaurant. I highly recommend Arth for your next outing!

We split the Sexier Curry Fries, Tandoori Achari Chaap, Vegan "Butter Chicken", Saffron Rice and Sholay Naan. Everything was tasty, but the standouts were the Tandoori Achari Chaap and the Sholay Naan. The chaap was smoky from the Tandoori and so good with the raw red onion and side chutney. The naan was loaded with minced garlic and serranos.

One of the best Indian food restaurants coming from a Hispanic. The best gralic Naan I've eaten. Highly recommend. Prices are higher than average but worth the meal. Portions are hearty.
