Best delivery in town 2/2/2009

I have been blissfully ordering from this place for 12 years easily. Let me also say I am a total food snob who has eaten Indian food everywhere from London, Amsterdam, Brussels to France. I think this place is one of the best I have ever had. In fact it is always my comfort go to place when I return home. Yes, the Vindaloo will make your nose run but if you pair it with a Khurma or a Coconut dish it is fantastic. Although not the best ambiance in the world, I have converted numerous non Indian lovers with the food served here. I simply dont get the bad reviews? I have yet to have a bad or even unsatisfying meal there. I say, fantastic!!! Pros: Fantastic food more

Worth a try 1/9/2009

Everyone in my party loved the food (except for the fried butterfly shrimp). The service was excellent. A good time was had by all. We all walked away quite satisfied and full to the brim. We'd definitely go back. more

I am puzzled by the bad reviews, especially regarding service. The place is open late and never crowded; my water glass was filled constantly. I have driven miles to come to Star of India just to eat mainly because there is no ""knuckle meat"", as I call it... weird bony inedible pieces of meat. The chicken is tender, the rice and naan are fluffy. And you even get a $15 off coupon always. The atmosphere is not hip or special, but it is clean and classy for a hole in the wall. If you want atmosphere (and a slightly larger tab) try Electric Lotus, but certainly Star of India is recommended. Pros: Best food, never a wait, open late, full water glasses, 15% off coupon. Cons: ? more

Bad, bad, bad 5/28/2008

This place has bad food, I informed the waiter that the Vegetables didnt taste right and had a stale smell. Almost sour smelling and I know my veges, I order Vege Korma at other restaurants all the time and this smell was rather unique. The waiter smelled it at the table, somewhat embarassing, and said that he was certain that it smelled fresh. To save myself of further embarrassment I just paid and left a note for the manager with my ph#. It has been over a month, no calls yet. Pros: ? Cons: Stale food, bad service, poor management more

Food was hot, fresh, and tasty. I'm not a vegetarian but was able to have a full meatless meal. Delivery driver seemed confused by the whole operation, but found me nevertheless. more

WORST SERVICE 2/4/2008

""Indians will be treated like an insect..."" may be this quote suits to this restaurant perfectly. I went to LA for a trip Last week, unfortunately Google resulted this restaurant as search result, People work here don't listen to order fully. yes of course they have a rocket to build in NASA.. An American couple came, without even taking the order from us the guy left and serving water to them and asking ""How are u doing today?"" and all.. After waiting for 10 mins, i couldn't resist myself from asking for water.. No minimum decency for Indians of course. I hate 45 mins of my time while sitting in this Restaurant. I have been to numerous Restaurant in US so far, This is the WORST Restaurant among all. Pros: Is there any?? Cons: Everyting more

My Tuesday Night ritual 4/25/2007

I have Indian food delivered every Tuesday night, from Star of India. I get the same thing: Shrimp Tandoori Masala, Veggie Samosas with Mango Chutney, 4 pieces of Naan and their ""fried Rice"" (basmati rice with raisins, almonds, peas, etc) Every Tuesday, I thank God for this restaurant. Seriously... the Tandoor Masala is by far the most scrumptious dish I've ever eaten. (My pal says the chicken Tandoori Masala is the best SHE'S had too.) So sweet and savory. It's Weds morning now, and I am craving the leftovers in my fridge, as I type this review. Pros: Tandoor Masala sauce, Free delivery, 15% Off for Citysearchers! Cons: Melrose parking more
