Mayura - Culver City, California

Address: 10406 Venice Blvd, Culver City, CA 90232

Items Ordered:

• Chicken tikka masala: boneless chicken in a curry sauce
  
• Shrimp masala: shrimp in a savory curry sauce
  
• Masala dosa: crepe stuffed with spiced cooked potatoes
  
• Plain & garlic naans

I convinced Connie and Victoria to accompany me to Mayura after raving about the buttery, fork-tender chicken tikka masala. The dish did not disappoint, and we ended up splitting a second order along with some spicy shrimp masala! I would come back anytime for the chicken tikka masala and a order of garlic naan and rice. The portions are actually quite generous, we were just extra hungry eaters that day. The only thing I might do differently is skip the dosa for some standard samosas instead since deep fried n crispy beats pan-fried any day. Highly recommend.

Ambala Dhaba - Westwood, California

Address: 1781 Westwood Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, 90024

Items Ordered:

• Chicken Tikka Masala
• Garlic Naan
• Chili Garlic Naan

We came into Ambala Dhaba for a late lunch so it was pretty empty. We proceeded to order the Chicken Tikka Masala, 2 types of naan and white rice. Everything went together well and we were satisfied with our choices. The naan was definitely the highlight - so much flavor!
