Cardamom Indian Cuisine

Delightful dining experience! The staff & owners were charming, helpful, and kind - but.... the stars of the restaurant are the chefs! Everything was soooo gooood! We have enjoyed their food as take out previously, and loved it. Let me tell you - DINE IN! It is so vibrant, aromatic & the Laccha Paratha just baked, crisp, & with the perfect bite/chew is krey-vuh-buhl. The Special Grilled Lamb Chops were spiced & cooked to perfection. The Chicken Butter Makhani was velvety with a great kick - The Lamb Vindaloo was tender and flavorful. My very favorite dish was their Saag Paneer - they use fresh spinach & it takes it to the next level! The atmosphere is bright, warm & inviting. I look forward to many more wonderful meals here with friends & family ❤️

a great place, moved from west hollywood in the pandemic. really fragrant, complex variations on classics, all the veggie options have way more than your regular peas and carrots. samosas light and crispy. mint and cilantro sauce that comes with tandoori is amazing. the owner of the place is super chill and friendly. a boon to the neighborhood, highly recommend.

Great service, delicious food. Newly relocated from LA to Montrose, Cardamom is very tasty. The food is made to order, and features delicious top tier ingredients. You can taste the difference there. Plenty of indoor seating, and a hand full of outdoor tables. The restaurant features great staff, well versed in the menu, and constantly attentive, and going above and beyond for a great customer service. Parking is available nearby, and outdoor dog friendly. We got lamb vindaloo (very spicy, and tasty), chicken Masala (creamy and tasty), garlic nan (delicious and light), saffron rice (not a huge upgrade over the plain rice), and the vegetable samosas (very light and crispy; not oily!). The food was very good. They also treated us to complimentary rice pudding. They are working through the process of getting the final touches up (signage, and art). They have redone the kitchen and interior (previously a chinaware restaurant). Very friendly staff, and rooting for their success. Was busy when we arrived, but we were able to be seated instantly. One area to possibility improve is portions; this place is a bit pricey, and the portions are smaller (as compared to our favorite spot Indian’s Flavor). But the quality is great, and they do offer outdoor seating! Updates: we have been back multiple times, and the team always makes us feel like family. Delicious food, prompt and attentive service. The ingredients are fresh, and the food has depth and flavor as a result.

Good solid Indian food with lovely staff. Loved the samosas (honestly don’t miss them) and the garlic naan. The butter chicken was good, and enjoyed the daal makni. The restaurant is simple, and clean. Some people complained of the portion size, but my friend and I were full and brought stuff home…..so we were fully happy with what we had! I would not miss this wonderful local place, and plan to be back!

This is some of the best Indian food in the greater Los Angeles area. The atmosphere is so warm and inviting. Seriously. Give these people your money!!!
