Best Indian Restaurants in Santa Monica

The Spice Affair has always been a go to place for consistently good India food. The atmosphere is very pleasant and certainly much more upscale than most local Indian restaurants, however that also goes for the prices. The portions are very fair and the service is very attentive and friendly. It has an extremely extensive menu so it should meet everyone’s expectations for a meal that fits their tastes. I believe it will not disappoint.

My first time at this restaurant. Went on Christmas Eve. Service was excellent. Nice ambience . A very special evening as everything exceeded our expectations. Great bar selection. Delicious appetizers. Surprising flavors were unexpectedly delicious. Seabass and salmon were delectable. And the risotto -so creamy and flavorful. Be sure to leave room for dessert as well. This is billed as an Indian restaurant, and while there are many dishes that are Indian, there are many more that will surprise and delight you with their originality. Restaurant has been open less that a month and there were no shortcomings. I cant wait to return and try more dishes.

Great food One of the three best Indian foods in the whole County

It is often the case that whether you are familiar with the cuisine, authenticity is a universally recognized ingredient of a great meal. It was a meal I might have expected to eat in the home of an East Indian family. From the naan to the fish Tandoori… from the dal to the spicy chicken wings… to the perfectly spiced samosas and the lamb at the table that made me wish I ate red meat… all of it. Excellent! Roots goes deep!

We have dined at Bombay Palace a couple of times. We'd do it more often if not for LA traffic. Simply put, beautiful restaurant, attentive service and TERRIFIC FOOD!
