Los Angeles has some of the best Indian restaurants in the United States, so when I visited the city in August of 2021, I knew I had to go all-out and visit as many as I could. Join me as I eat Indian food for 24 hours straight in Los Angeles, California!
Joining me is my good friend and agent Kyle Hjelmeseth, who joined me at Biriyani Kabob House in downtown LA. It’s an awesome spot that serves authentic Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, and Afghan food!

We were ready to crush as many dishes as possible! Inside, we met Sunny and headed back into the kitchen, where we saw the cooks making chicken tikka kabobs, beef kabobs, seekh kabobs, plain naan, garlic naan, lamb shank biriyani.
They also prepared some chicken tandoori and two of my favorite Pakistani dishes, chicken karahi and nihari!
Before we headed to our table, we also tried some mango lassi, which was thick and rich in sweet mango flavor.
At our table, we started with the plain naan and garlic naan with the chicken nihari and lamb dam biriyani. The biriyani had a huge piece of lamb in it! We also had a yogurt sauce called raita, which I mixed into my biriyani.
We dove right in with our hands and broke up the lamb with our hands. The lamb was nice and chunky, and the biriyani was perfectly seasoned.
Then, I jumped on the chicken nihari with some naan. It was light and flavorful without being super spicy. Next was the Nali Nihari, which is a thick, rich beef stew. The meat was full of coriander flavor and practically melted in my mouth!
Then, we tried the mixed grill, which contained chicken seekh kabobs, beef kabobs, and chicken tikka. It was all so juicy and tender!
The lamb shank curry was next. It came in an oily, tomato-based curry and the meat fell apart at the slightest touch. The key was the fat, and the meat just fell right off the bone. It was my favorite, along with the Nali Nihari!
Kyle tapped out as we left, but I continued on to Bombay Beach, which is run by a couple who makes homemade Desi food. Inside, I met Rubal and Angat, who serve a garlic-and-cheese paratha that is wrapped around marinated chicken tikka, garlic, onion, bell pepper, yellow rice, and butter masala. It’s called a DTLA Butter Frankie and is popular in Mumbai!
I also had some samosa chaat, one of my favorite street food dishes. It’s made up of a deconstructed samosa, chana, yogurt, coriander, mint chutney, tamarind chutney, and more. It was fresh, sweet, crunchy, creamy, herbal, and downright phenomenal!
Next was the Frankie, which was almost like a huge kathi roll. I enjoyed it with a Bombay Brahmi Badaam, which is a refreshing drink that contains an ayurvedic herb called brahmi, almonds, cashews, and lemon juice.
The chicken tikka and gravy inside the Frankie was exceptional, as were the bell peppers and onions. The rice held everything together, and the garlic-and-cheese paratha was bursting with flavor! It was a huge meal in itself!
After a break to let the food digest, I headed over to Kyle’s house to enjoy a Tandoori chicken pizza from Bombay Beach! Its crust was a super crispy naan and full of incredible spices, chicken tikka masala, a tomato-based sauce, onion, bell pepper, and cheese!
Then, we had two amazing desserts called rasmalai and gulab jamun! The rasmalai was creamy and decadent and contained a bit of pistachio and saffron. Meanwhile, the gulab jamun was soaked in a sugar syrup. It was like straight sugar but so good!
