"Taking a break from class to enjoy each other's company and, of course, Chandni's lunch special!"

"After being seated at one of the booths, I was attended to by an exceptionally polite and pleasant waiter who quickly brought me an Indian iced tea and invited me to help myself from the very clean and well-presented buffet."
"The dishes here are delicately spiced, allowing you to add a touch of the spicy mint sauce should you have a penchant for a zestier dining experience. The basmati rice was fresh and fluffy, and the spinach was perfectly textured with an aromatic quality that I suspect was cumin-based, with the paneer (Indian cheese) melting in the mouth as so it should. There are vegan options as well." -

"I have been eating at the Chandni Restaurant since they first opened in Culver City in 1992. As a seasoned diner of Indian vegetarian food, I must say this is the best service, most delightful menu, tastiest dishes available in Los Angeles or perhaps anywhere in the United States. I would eat at Chandni every day if I could live next door which I told them long ago..." - Sybil Blazej-Yee, author.
"Tom's order of Alu Saag, with its cooked mustard greens and potatoes in fresh ginger, garlic, cumin, and fresh tomatoes, sounded like an unlikely combination, but it was perfection in seasoning. When the meal was over, the dish was practically licked dry." - Vegetarians In Paradise

"Dining at Chandni is like having a meal with your good friend who happens to be an excellent cook. Kumar, Mahesh and the rest of the staff treat me like family. The food is interesting and flavorful. The entire menu is so absolutely wonderful, I can pick any three dishes blindfolded—and be gratified." - Tally Y.
"We can afford everything on the menu... No matter how many times a thali is set before you, it's always a thrilling moment... This is a sensible way to eat." - Jennie Douglas
