Tasty and lots of food! I really enjoyed this restaurant and would recommend it to others. Enjoy! :)

Not Authentic Indian

The service was fast and the environment was interesting. The food was not good. I order the Lamb Vindaloo, which is one of my favorite Indian dishes. The Lamb was dry and there were two potatoes in the whole dish. It was similar to fast…

The duxk I ordered was too tough to eat.

Oh horrors of horrors

I know a thing or two about punjabi food...forget that...I know a thing or two about food and I just threw away $30 worth of food from here. The vindaloo tasted like they chucked a can of tomato sauce on burnt fish and potatoes that were…

first time was a success!

great food, and the waiter was so nice to help us first-timers who didn't have a clue. the garlic bread and yogurt dip was delish, and the lamb with rice was enough for us 2 girls to share. very good prices, relaxing environment.

Cultural Discrimination in an Indian Restaurant

My boyfriend and I come to this restaurant every so often for the past 3 years. Each time we come here, the place is packed (usually on weekends). However, we decided to go last Tuesday night since we were in the area and felt like…

WATCH OUT! Problems with delivery and then correcting the problem

After receiving a flyer on my doorstep, I placed a lunch order with Electric Lotus. When I received the order was both substantially overcharged AND the order was incomplete. When I called the restaurant to straighten this out, the person…

Worse than before...

Went there for the 2nd time after 2 years...the service was worse than before, was promptly seated but waited for nearly half hour to place the first order (it wasnt busy)..ordered chicken biryani which had only a good price tag but no…

HARlDY ELECTRIFYING!

Another popular venue that sadly never rises above mediocre. NOT authentic of you think you're eating Indian food. It's bland pap for people who don't know food. The atmosphere is dark and loud. You cannot hold a quiet conversation and…

MMMMMMMM Good Indian Food

If you want to go out for a an evening of great atmosphere and food then this is the place to go.\r Great selection and portions of food.\r The atmosphere is just amazing.\r Nice little bar with good selection.\r Suggest going with big…

This is NOT Indian food!!!

I wanted to check out this local restaurant that I had heard a lot about. The description, "Village Cuisine from India", was undoubtedly catchy and being an Indian I obviously wanted to try it out. After a Friday night dinner experience,…

Best Indian Food and ambiance to go with it!

Great food and decor. It is dark in there but I think they are just going for that mood. Make sure to always make a reservation and ask for one of the booths to get the whole experience....very romantic and wont be just another…

Slow service, too dark, inept

I love Indian food. So, we tried this place. BUT...I can't comment on the food because I NEVER GOT ANY! It was COLD and so DARK, we could barely read the menu. Service was SO slow, we had to have our food packed to go without taking…

Great Food!

I love the food from Electric Lotus. Especially, the multi dish veggie for two. Great atmosphere, dimlu lit with a good bar. I do love going here-very romantic.But the honeymoon's after when you have to use their porrly maintained, really…

lame and dark

though it tries, the decor is just not tastefully done. the lamps are pretty but that's about it. it is so dark i could hardly see my food. portions huge, but are missing the complexity of flavours i get at other cheaper indian…

Outstanding Food, Horrible Service

I have been here about three or four times, but I doubt I will go back. I have never before been to a place where there was such a vast diffrerence between the quality of food and quality of service. The food is outstanding. I have…

INDIAN HOSPITAL FOOD

I was hoping the previous reviews on the food were flawed, but unfortunately the food was bland and lacked the essential spices that make Indian food so unique. It was so devoid of flavor that my group joked at the dinner table that it…

great food, very dark inside

i think the eggplant and saag are the very best i've EVER had....i'm not as impressed with the naan (could be fluffier). way dark inside.

Cool (Loud) Vibe, Dry Dull Food

I was thrilled when Electric Lotus opened in Los Feliz - the closest Indian restaurant was south on Sunset and the area was dicey enough you needed to be buzzed in the front door just to get in. But I'd go back to that other place in a…

Sadly, it just wasn't that good

My husband and I have been looking all over Silverlake for good Indian food... we still haven't found it. Honestly, the service was pretty good and the ambience was totally awesome. But the food just wasn't good. We had a meal for…
