Addi's Darbar Indian Cuisine

This spot has one of those genuinely festive neighborhood vibes. We stopped in on Christmas Eve and the place felt like a small community gathering—families celebrating, people wishing each other Merry Christmas, and a lot of non-Indian diners who clearly come here often. The food is excellent—rich, flavorful, and thoughtfully made. A few dishes lean heavy on cashews, so it’s worth checking if you’re sensitive, but the flavors are fantastic. The service is especially warm and accommodating, which adds to the experience. It’s a small space, but welcoming, with solid vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and a good wine selection. Always happy to come back

A friend of mine introduced me this wonderful Indian restaurant I couldn’t believe how delicious it was every time. I’m in town. I’m a Canadian actress and I love my Indian food. I asked my friend to take me there and they’re very professional very friendly very accommodating. thank you for your delicious And it’s all fresh. I’m not greasy. Thank you for having an excellent restaurant in California. It’s the best 🦋🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏

Wow, what a hidden gem! I can’t believe I’ve lived in the South Bay for so long and never tried this place before. I was invited by a friend to meet here. I ordered the butter chicken with plain white rice, naan, and Chicken Katakat (spicy). My new favorite authentic Indian local food spot! You’d better come hungry - their food portions are plentiful and very reasonably priced!

Hello! 2nd time trying Indian Food This Restaurant opens for dinner at 5pm. You can make a reservation. The Portions are big so we ordered 6 plates and shared from all 6 for a party of 5. The rice is good but ive had better needs a bit more flavor! The Menu has aloot to choose from! The place is a bit small and needs an update. The service was great! Lots of parking prices are very affordable.

Please note - We did not have good experience. Called and left two messages for the owner with the manager and he never cared to call back . It seems owner does not care about his food or his customers. Very disappointed . The manager was apologetic and he told us that he has given the messages to the owner but owner does not care . Summary: We went to this restaurant for special treat for our friendly 85 yearly old couple total four people (4). The service was Ok but the food was way below expectations. Ordered Tandoori fish and they gave us 5 small pieces of Mahi Mah which was chewy and and could not Swallow . For main course order Chicken Tikka Masala , Rogan Josh and Sag Paneer . The Chicken Tikka masala was sweet with all gravy and hardly any chicken , Rogan josh the meat was so chewy that we could not eat . Sag Paneer was full of oil and tasted awful. Tandoori bread was OK ..The whole experience left a bad taste in our mouth.. We have been to dozens of Indian restaurants and never had such a bad food experience such as this . We know Indian food very well and adding sugar in food gravy for north indian food is unheard off.. It seems this restaurant really needs to take cooking classes to cook Indian food . We spent over $200 and I will tell any potential customers going to this restaurant to think hard before you go to this restaurant .. Stay away sad to say

Started with the papadum and pakoras (not pictured), both were delicious and recommended. For mains, we had the chicken tikka methi and vindaloo, which came with a large plate of basmati rice. Both dishes were fantastically flavored, and the portion sizes were very large which made the prices reasonable. The vindaloo was not as spicy as I have had elsewhere, but the flavor made it one of my favorite vindaloo dishes that I have tried. We got the garlic naan. I would have preferred an option of a variety basket of naan, instead of paying for each type individually, which would be a lot of bread. We will definitely return.

The food and service were great. It took a little while for them to take our order, but since I was catching up with friends, it didn't bother me too much. The atmosphere was nice, it is a small restaurant, but somehow still spacious. The food was really good and the portions were huge. We ordered garlic naan, chicken tikka, lamb biryani, chicken vindaloo, and veggie samosas. Each of us ended up taking a big bag of food home from the leftovers. I will definitely come back.

Had a late Valentines Day and decided to try this place at the last minute and everything was great! It was our firt trying Cashmere Indian Food, they were all delicious. Owner and Staff are very kind too.

This place is perhaps one of the best restaurants in Los Angeles, period. The perfect balance of price versus value the staff are extremely professional and friendly. It has a perfect balance of great ambience versus availability. I come here whenever new friends visit town, when i have an anniversary, or just casual Friday trying to better my day. The owner always takes time to say hi to all the customers - best vibe ever. Here are some interesting highlights: the food selection is unbeatable. From all kinds of special protein to veggies delights: three kinds of chicken bbq, tandoori mahi mahi, and all kinds of different biryani flavors. The protein always hits home with strong burst of flavor and is piping hot in the best way possible. After coming here for about a year, I continue to discover new items. Chicken pakoras, (Indian fried chicken strips) peas pulao (pea veggie rice), carrot cake made of only carrots, just to name a few. Highly highly recommend to everyone looking for a good restaurants in general.

Yummmm... pricey but large portions and great quality! Best Indian food especially the chicken tika masala and their naan.

I cannot stress enough how delicious this was--and how hard it is to find hearty lentil dishes with portions this good. Staff + owner were incredibly nice and the restaurant seemed inviting & cozy. I ordered to go, but I will definitely dine out next time.

I ordered chicken tikka masala and veggie curry take out earlier tonight. Walked into a very classy and busy restaurant. Every table was full and everyone looked satisfied with their meals. Our food was excellent and flavorful. We are glad we ordered rice as our curries did not come with it. Portions were large and we had leftovers. Highly recommend this spot for Indian food if you like curry. Looks like a nice spot for a date as well.

Ingredients are fresh and dishes are solid, but rice and naan cost extra. Plates run $20-30, a little on the pricier side. Ambiance works well for a social night -- tables are nicely spaced. Easy parking in the lot. Diverse crowd.

Best Indian food by far Service is Amazing all the time Ambiance is terrific Owner- Addi is always there greeting everyone like friends You are family

We ordered carry out dinner. Small place, unassuming location. Food was amazing. Butter paneer & paneer Korma, raita, veggie samosas, roti & naan. Staff friendly & efficient. Highly recommend.

We love this place! Walk in and are greeted with a smile. The food is delicious and authentic tasting - I particularly like the garlic naan and the saag paneer. The mango lussi this time tasted a bit off but everything else is amazing!

The food was really good and flavorful. I would definitely recommend the mango lassi, it's so good especially with the lamb vindaloo. The service was great too as the waitress would always check on us. The ambiance is good as well though I'd say the lighting was quite dim.

Visited last night, for a take-out. I remember going to Addi's when they were in the current Ragin' Cajun location some years ago. The atmosphere there was amazing, including a live sitar player. Years later, I frequented this newer location and always rated it as excellent. Having sadly not visited recently, I went by again for a take-out. It remains way up there, with the welcoming of me as a customer, the simple but warm offer of water while I waited for my order to come out. I was even given regular updates on my order, and when it might be brought out. But it's the food that stood out when I got home. So very, very tasty. Actually big portions, including a free and extra rice package, all absolutely wonderful. I should have asked for more spice, but that's my fault....next time for sure. Lamb Tikka Masala Chicken Korma (a mild dish by design) Onion Bhajis Pillau Rice Plain Paratha I recommend every dishesl I took home, as there were none I could faulter. My yearning for some good Indian cuisine paid off.

The food was ready right on time for pick up. The food was delicious and the service was very friendly. Highly recommend this restaurant.

So my friend has been raving about this place and we finally got to go. Well, I believe I'm spoiled after eating some upscale Indian in Manhattan with considerably higher prices. Service was good; rice complimentary which is nice these days. Portions generous i.e. I will have some leftovers to nibble on for lunch. But the Saag Paneer was a bit bland; maybe I should have requested spicer. The Chicken Vinadloo did not have enough kick to it either but was tender. The Garlic Naan was disappointing as it seemed more like pita. Come with moderate expectations and you'll be fine. Free parking available.

I've been in Redondo for 10 years. Super excited I found this Indian restaurant. Probably the most flavorful chicken Tikka masala and definitely the largest portions. Highly recommend

My wife and I absolutely love this place - best Indian food in the south bay IMO! We usually get three entrees, and this provides plenty of leftovers to enjoy over the next few days. Lamb Tikka Masala, Chicken Curry are my faves!

This is hands-down the best Indian food in Redondo Beach! My family and I are big fans of Indian cuisine and have tried several spots in the area, but we recently revisited Addi's after some time away (mainly because it's a bit farther from home). Now, it's officially our top choice, regardless of the extra drive. The food was absolutely amazing--my son practically licked his plate clean! We were even tempted to order an extra chicken tikka masala to take home. Thank you for creating such flavorful dishes and for sending us home happy, full, and already planning our next visit.

My favorite Indian restaurant, i came for both of my birthdays. The portions are big, if you're coming with someone i recommend getting different ones and share. The restaurant is a little fancy so wear something presentable, lighting is dim. Staff is so nice and welcoming, I really recommend coming!!!

Excellent food. Very fresh and tasty. Well prepared. The service is the best. You can tell they really care about the customer experience. Addi is a great host and makes you feel very welcome. Easily the best Indian food in Southern California. My wife and I love going there. I recommend you do as well. Randy

We dined at Addi's for the first time, when visiting friends who live in the neighborhood. Our friends, who go there often, managed the ordering, including getting the Lamb Royale. The place is a very nice, clean establishment that has a cool, Indian (or Middle Eastern) atmosphere. Our waiter and staff were very attentive throughout our dinner. The food was absolutely delicious! Tasty with fantastic, unique seasonings, flavor.

A friend highly recommended this place and I've been wanting to try it out and finally got an opportunity to do so. There's ample amount of parking all around (street and lot). The restaurant itself is quit fancy looking. It's def a place you can invite guest/family to. The service is incredibly welcoming and the owner himself greets you and serves you. It's def very personal and if that's your thing this is def the place for you 5 stars + Now to the food. We ordered the fish masala medium spice and lamb tikka masala spicy. The fish of the day is sea bass and it was very fresh and soft but it really lacked flavor and medium spice taste mild. Let's just say I ended up just drinking the curry without rice. The lamb was similar, lacked flavor but meat was fresh and soft. Spicy was mild as well but the owner offered to take it back and then it was pretty spicy. The garlic naan was good. Also order the mango lassi, it was pretty good but because of the price point, I had higher expectations. We really really enjoyed the service.

Delighted to be back here. The food and service are both excellent. Beautifully spiced. The baigan bharta (eggplant) was magnificent, and I couldn't stop eating the saag lamb. The range of spices was wonderful, from very mild (for the kids), to a bit burning, but delicious. It was a birthday celebration, and the highlight was when two children from a neighboring table asked if they could sing "happy birthday " with us. Just delightful!

Food is so delicious. The service is good. A wonderful place to go and relax snd eat the best food !

It's been a few years since I've reviewed but nothing has changed. Absolutely phenomenal food and amazing staff who are so helpful! We have been ordering takeout for the past few years and the food has absolutely not changed. Still full of flavor and high quality. We order chicken katakat, lamb vindaloo, bomboy aloo pakoras, pappadum, vegetable samosas and naan. Occasionally we order the Chana masala and chicken biryani. Also delicious. This is a must stop for excellence service and incredible food!

Holy crud this place is WONDERFUL!! DO NOT EAT THE SAG PANEER BECAUSE I WANT IT ALL TO MYSELF. Kidding! Seriously, it was THE BEST I've ever had, and I LOVE sag paneer (spinach with cheese cubes). OMG. We have also had the lamb chops, which were very meaty. The CHICKEN TIKKA MASALA was Amazing. All these orders were really enough for 4. We also had the garlic nan which was really tasty. We tried this lovely dessert which was like a slightly grainy orange sherbet, made in house. Refreshing, but not quite my thing, but everyone else enjoyed. Our server, Bemu, was very nice and Patient! Can't wait to go back, with friends!

This is our go-to spot for North Indian food to go in south bay. We usually get Malai Kofta and it is really tasty. They also have some unique dishes like Baingan paneer, which we thought was interesting. We have never dined in at Addi's so can't say much about their service. Overall, its a great place for Indian food in Redondo Beach.

So good! Excellent service. The owner is great and always so kind. Even my kids love it. Definitely a treat when I want authentic cuisine

Food quality was ok. Their Biryani tasted like Jambalaya, not authentic at all! Paneer Makhni was sweet and tasted like it had ketchup added to the sauce. Butter Chicken was good, could use slight more spice. Methi Malai Chicken was ok, too thick of a gravy (too much cream) and was lacking flavors. The highlight was their garlic naan, kulfi's and pakoras. Service was good, our server was very friendly and accommodating. Ambiance is good, you can tell they wanted you to eat and leave, so they can turn table's quickly. For the price and quality of food, I will not be returning. There are many great options out there, like Cardamom Indian restaurant etc.

Every dish is amazing... butter chicken is decadent and their vegan cashew nut cream with veggies is dreamy...with mint spice chutney-- great!

Always such a treat when we come here for dinner. Tonight we brought our 8 month old and the staff was so welcoming. They were very kind and played with our son which made our night. The food was phenomenal as always, such big portions with plenty of flavor. Thank you for making it such a great experience like always

Addi's was packed when we arrived on a nondescript Tuesday night, snagging the last table...fortunately there were only 2 of us, as it was quite a wait for the next table to open. Consider making a reservation! Service was pretty good considering the crowd. Water was quickly provided and my beer arrived with the Vegetable Pakora appetizer. Served with 2 dips it was something of a disappointment, most of the Pakoras were mostly batter with almost no filling. The Pakoras that actually included vegetable stuffing were ok. For dinner we had high expectations for the Navratan Korma and Ghobie Artichoke mains, with Onion Kulcha for the bread. The Onion Kulcha was the high point of the meal, very tasty. A minor nit, I would have preferred the onion cooked to the point where it was not crunchy, but it was good as delivered. We were both disappointed with the 2 mains. The Navratan was clearly the preferred option but it just seemed to be missing something that would put it over the top. I'd almost want to return to see if we could figure out what that something is! The Ghobie Artichoke, ordered medium spicy, was again just OK. I'd actually really like to return, it just seems like we both should have enjoyed these dishes more than we did.

Absolutely phenomenal food and service! I will absolutely be back you can not go wrong here.

Loved the warm ambience, delicious food and courteous service. A perfect low key date night.

We always have a pleasant experience here, both dining in and taking out. The staff couldn't be nicer. There's lots to choose from on the menu- we usually get plain & garlic naan, chicken tikka masala, lamb korma, and sometimes another rice dish. The portions are generous so we get a few meals out of the leftovers. It's a small place and every time we're here all the tables are full, so make a reservation.

Addi's is our new favorite Indian restaurant. Amazingly delicious. We had the chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, nan, rice. The samosas and pakoras were crisp without being oily. Will go back soon to try other dishes.

Came with friends for dinner. The good : the food was mostly very good. (see bad) Mostly good flavor. the service was mostly good the bad: It is overpriced ! When the server asked how was the food and I told him that the lamb was over cooked, he didn't reply at all. Just walked away. It was a $43 dinner and two of us ordered it and he didn't even say sorry.... much less offer to redo it.

I've been eating at restaurants owned by Addi for over 30 years, he's employed the same chef for over 40 years who always delivers excellent quality food.

I went to Addi's with some friends recently and we all agreed that their food is very poor. I'm not too sure why but it's just rank bad. It's hard to fathom when this restaurant has great staff who are all knowledgeable about Indian cuisine that it should come out tasting and looking so average. For instance the biryanis rice was stuck together when it arrived, it was so off putting that I was ready to complain. However, when you're with friends then you feel reluctant to make a scene. The tandoori chicken also lacked flavor and maybe freshness. We had some other dishes as well as the obligatory Naan, but overall it was poor. I even thought the Naan was of the frozen type. Service was ok but when the food arrives looking and tasting so bad then everything else is irrelevant!

What a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Indian cuisine I love all the flavors and their food is excellent fantastic atmosphere and the customer service was impeccable and the owner was very friendly and very talkative. I will always always return to have my meals here.

My brother and I had dinner today. We ordered calamari, shrimp vindaloo, and shrimp biryani. Shrimp biryani was decent but nothing great, everything else was underwhelming. Vindaloo curry was nothing like authentic vindaloo curry....way too tomatoey!

My first visit to Addi's in Redondo Beach was for dinner last week. If you are not sure you like Indian food and/or you're a vegetarian and don't think there would be much for you ... think again! Addi's atmosphere is family-like, welcoming and comfortable. It's a place for both a casual meet-up with friends or a nice dinner date. The service was perfect. The staff was very attentive. The food was amazing. Vegetable Samosas were perfect starters. Full of taste and not greasy. My main course was Baigan Bharta (charbroiled eggplant) and the texture of the dish was perfect. The portions were very big and we took the leftovers home. My friends ordered the Lamb royal and they couldn't say enough about how delicious it was. For drinks we ordered the Taj beer and a bottle of wine from the large selection. Thank you to Addi, we had a fabulous evening! I will be visiting again and I highly recommend this hidden gem.

There're many Indian restaurants in the Southbay, and this is our go-to restaurant when we crave for Indian food. Every dish is perfectly prepared. Good service. It's a small restaurant with plenty of parking. The price is right.

Addi's is back! A couple months ago I was shocked and super sad when I saw on Yelp that Addi's was closed. After doing some research I found out that they would open soon but with just new partners. Fast forward a couple months later and here we are with newly remodeled Addi's. Yay; my favorite restaurant is back! The walls are newly painted and it looks very nice inside. The menu still has some of the delicious favorites that we all know and love. My absolute favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer. I chose to get those on my recent visit to see if it was still as a good as I remembered. Both dishes were indeed as delicious as I recall. It still remains to be the best Indian dishes I've had ever. The flavors for both were on point. I loved the overall thickness of the sauce of the Chicken Tikka Masala. The pieces of chicken were large and tender. The Saag Paneer was very flavorful. I loved putting the sauce over the basmati rice. I am thrilled to see Addi's open up again. Though a slightly different name and a little change to the look; what hasn't changed is the great taste of their menu. This is one of my favorite restaurants and remains to still be one of my favorite restaurants in the South Bay.

The best Indian food in the South Bay. I love this place; we've been coming here for years. Addi is a welcome greeter and the staff are quick to help. The food is amazingly flavorful and you always leave full with leftovers; the portions are generous. I wish they'd reopen for lunch a few times a weeks.

We love this place!!! New favorite Indian restaurant. We usually get it as take out and it is always steaming hot. They always have our food ready on time with incredibly friendly staff to greet us when we arrive. We haven't been able to find better Indian food in the South Bay!

We have been coming to Addis for the past 10 yrs plus and we are never disappointed, it's just as good today since the day we started . Just enough spice for us , flavorful and plenty amount . The chai tea is one of my favorites , tastes delish, smooth and some hints of spice , but lightly creamy , The garlic naan , chicken tikka masala yum yum, and the rice , ooooh and don't forget the samosa , perfect little app.

Everything about this place is amazing! Food and service were great. My go to place for Indian cuisine. Definitely need a reservation!!

Waited for a 2nd try to drop the review, but boy, do I not see the hype. All the food super bland, on the expensive side, and pretty stingy on the servings (particularly paneer). Makhani was just tomato sauce, no spice no other flavor. Baigan, where there should be so much opportunity for flavor, there wasn't any. Sad, the search for best Indian in South Bay continues.

Addis is Amazing!! I Love the garlic naan and sea bass fish . Not to mention the wine is ALWAYS fabulous. The service is 100% it's like a warm family feeling when you enter Addis . His Kicthen staff has been cooking the food for 30 plus years !!!!! That's impressive, this tells you Addi treats his employees like family . The place is well maintained & clean . Plenty of parking and great access for carry out . I never really used to eat Indian food , I was under the impression that it had tons of curry and super spicy. Which I'm not a spicy food person lol . BUT Addi changed my perception of Indian food. So flavorful and everything just melts in your mouth . When I want a nice cheat meal or something heavy . This is definitely a tight place. This isn't the restaurant to eat light or have a salad . If you want authentic heavy yummy food . This is the SPOT !! Just make sure you take about 2 probiotics to filter your system . Lol Customer and friend for life !!!

Clean place, friendly & attentive staff, delicious food! We had the tall beers, masala fish & masala shrimp, saag aloo, & all were amazing. We shared with 4 people & still took some home.

Me and my husband went there for dinner We had paneer makhani, bombay aaloo pakora and naan, it was just delicious, everything was perfect. We loved the food Service was good and on time, staff was nice. Will definitely gonna visit again
