"Tulsi is just a fast-casual restaurant in the same way that a wolverine is just an animal. It’s technically true, but there’s a lot more exciting context than that. This Indian mini-chain has four locations across LA, and it’s officially where you should be getting lunch in DTLA or a quick dinner in Westwood. Their counter-service dining rooms look like a Sweetgreen, but the food here is much more exciting than overdressed kale—Tulsi offers a solid array of Northern, Southern, and Western Indian dishes that almost all cost less than $15. The specialty is their gunpowder masala dosa, filled with soft potatoes dusted in spicy dry chilis and served with lentil-studded sambar. We also love their extensive lassi menu, which has flavors that range from dragon fruit to hibiscus-cotton candy." - nikko duren, brant cox

"Tulsi is a fast-casual Indian spot where most dishes are under $10 and the menu’s worth a thousand words. The dishes represent a range of Indian cuisines across Southern, Northern, and Western India, including arguably the best Gujarati food Los Angeles has to offer. Try the undhiyu, a 10-vegetable medley with sweet potatoes, potatoes, eggplant, yam, coconut, and more. It’s a Gujarati staple that is at once bitter, sweet, salty, and savory, and it’s not easily found in LA." - Matthew Kang

"One of the oldest Indonesian restaurants in Los Angeles, Ramayani is filled with everyone on the Westwood spectrum. From locals that have been coming here for years to scattered UCLA students looking for a reprieve from the dining hall, the best thing to do is order the nasi uduk combo platte, bring whatever bottle of wine sparks the most joy, sit back, and take the whole scene in. Corkage Fee: $10" - kat hong

Went there on Saturday afternoon for lunch fortunately it wasn’t that crowded so I was able to order quickly. The idli and wada seemed little stale but dhokla was good. Vada from vada pav was okay. Also ordered 2 veg combo and the cashew curry , malai kofta was good. Chicken tikka masala was OK but I guess that chicken curry or something that’s sort was OK as well. Chicken biryani was good though not great.. ras malai was okay. Overall, I could say it’s not that bad but also it’s not that great with taste.. but yes, some items are really good for for example dhokla malai kofta chicken biryani chicken tikka masala. But since it was that crowded, so we were able to order fast, but to take time to get the food. I wonder what would be happening if there was a little crowd.. also parking may be a little problem in that area. Overall, I give it three star out of five.. forgot to mention that Naan was awesome!

Edit: The menu has changed recently with a lot of Indian regional foods eliminated from it and meat teams added (it is no longer a vegetarian restaurant). Make sure that you check the updated menu before visiting. Tulsi is an Indian restaurant located very close to UCLA. There is plenty of seating available inside the restaurant. We did not see any outdoor seating. There is street parking near the restaurant. The restaurant was clean and had a great vibe! The seating was comfortable. You order food and pay upfront at the cashier and are given a device the vibrates when the food is ready to be picked up. The staff was busy yet very patient and pleasant! Had the 3 curry plate, Manchuria and samosa chaat and all of them hit the right spots! The food was delivered by a robot that they had in restaurant. It was fun to watch the robot navigate! They also have food specials on Indian festivals so look out for those!

We had literally worst experience here. It’s a Indian vegetarian restaurant. They offer wide range of menu. Visited with a group of 7. We ordered aloo paratha, tulsi special masala dosa, uttapam, veg thali, vadapav, veg noodles. Their service was super slow even though it was not crowded at all. Uttapam was not cooked properly. Dosa was crispy and tasted ok. We all liked veg thali. Thali had 1samosa, 2/3 veggie, sweet, some rice and rotis. However it came after really long wait. Also, they missed to put a bowl of sweet in our thali and when we informed them their manager came at table to check all the empty bowls. I’d definitely not recommend this restaurant.

We ordered the family special which allows you to select two types of rice 3 curries and 2 types of roti. While the food was reasonably priced and the ambiance was pretty good, the service was very slow. We also added an extra side of rice, roti and lassi and it took close to half an hour to get them all. There is a fancy robot to serve the food, but it takes a long time for them to even load the items on the robot while they’re sitting ready on the shelves. Quite disappointed with the pace of the service.

The best Indian food in LA at reasonable prices. Perfectly balanced menu from across India. Good quantity. Cooked fresh. Balanced spice level. What else you can ask for? And, cherry on top, cleanest washrooms you'll ever find in a restaurant. This will be my go to place for any future trip to LA.

Tulsi Indian Eatery is a well lit Indian vegetarian restaurant. We ordered the family special. We could choose two types of rice, 3 curries and 2 types of roti. For the price you pay, they offer a decent portion size. And in all honesty, the food is pretty good too. The service was unbelievably slow though. We ordered some extra rice, roti and lassi it took more than half an hour to get them all. The robots are pretty fancy, but the people running the robots take a lot of time to load the items on the robot. When we placed the order, the waitress mentioned that lassi would be available in 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, they approach us and mention that it'll take 30 more minutes to make them. When asked if we could get a different item (since we didn't have the time to wait for 30 minutes), the waitress looks at us and responds as though it's out fault! Worth it for the food (wish it was a little more spicy), but they could *really improve their service!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Tulsi Indian Eatery, and I must say it was a truly remarkable experience. The highlight of my visit was their fascinating cat robot-like server that effortlessly glided across the restaurant, bringing dishes to each table. It was a delightful blend of technology and tradition, adding an element of fun and uniqueness to the dining experience. The ambience of the restaurant was equally impressive, with well-lit interiors creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The attentive and friendly staff further enhanced the overall dining experience. Tulsi Indian Eatery is a gem of a restaurant, seamlessly combining innovation, culinary excellence, and a pleasant ambiance. I highly recommend visiting this establishment for a truly memorable dining experience. It deserves every bit of its five-star rating!

Pretty good vegetarian Indian food. They have options from the north, west, and south, of India. I have been here twice so far, with my parents. And we have tried the chair, coffee, special masala dosa, chili garlic fried rice, dabeli, and the loaded fries. Parents loved the masala chai. I thought the coffee was pretty close to what you get in South India. Maybe the best version of Madras coffee I've had in LA so far. The special masala dosa was good, but the coconut chutney that it comes with wasn't. Tomato chutney was good though. The chili garlic fried rice tasted okay, but didn't stand out. Felt like it would taste better with some dish, like the Manchurian. The dabeli was good! I read in another review that the chat items are good. I have to try a few others next time around. The loaded fries are very meh, I'd entirely skip. The fries are very soggy and the makhni sauce didn't have enough butter flavor. Overall, would recommend checking it out. But read reviews to find out what to order and what to skip.
