"TL;DR: Great service with good food. I can't go wrong here. I ordered Curried Mussels, Masala Fries, Onion Bhaji, Buffalo Wing, Chicken Korma, Lamb Korma, Chicken Biryani, Beef Jalfrezi and Butter Naan. The onion Bhaji was quite standard. Onion scattered and fried and served as a small ball to eat with the hands. Not bad, but nothing crazy. The Masala Fries were very interesting. They are thin frits that are baked until the end and covered in butter Chicken Masala. They were surprisingly really good, but I felt like they didn't give enough of the Masala. Towards the end, I only ate normal fries. I still recommend getting this appetizer, but ask for extra sauce on the frits and you will not be disappointed. In my opinion, the Buffalo Wings were the weakest point in the menu. The wings were your standard wings with hot sauce. Not terrible, but for the type of restaurant it is, I expected something different than normal for this. The Korma courts were very good. Corma of nature is a very sweet dish, so I recommend it a little spicier than usual to make it really shine. I recommend this court. The chicken Biryani was good, but definitely a little dryer than I expected. It's definitely not bad, could've been better. Honestly, the reason I give this place 5/5 instead of 4/5 is the staff. The people running the place are really nice. Our waiter even gave us a free additional order from Onion Bhaji, although we did not ask because he said our party was too big for just one. If you enjoy an Indian food, I say give this place a way."

"This is where I was introduced to Indian Food, and what a great introduction it was. Extensive menu with more lamb and seafood dishes then many indian restaurants I have been to, you can choose from mild to really, really spicy a great goal to work up to . Medium is a good mild heat that wakes up the senses and brightens the food. Food is served family style, so a great way to go with friends or family, split a bill and try many different dishes. Restaurants on the run delivers from here for a hefty fee, but Anarbaghs itself has Free local delivery 5 mile radius or you can call your order in to pick up yourself and get a 15% discount to boot on take out orders . There can be a small wait for dinner as this place becomes more popular. They recently remodeled this location with new booths, beautiful watercolor sky murals on the ceiling and new lighting. Parking on the street Ventura Blvd. can be tricky, but there is free parking around back. Their chicken tikka masala is the best example of this dish that I have tried, and I have tried it in many indian restaurants across the country as one of my “standards”. Rich cramy sauce, great combination of spices, and tender not overcooked chicken. One dish I have had here and have been unable to fine elsewhere is Lamb Mango Masala, its tender chunks of lamb in a sauce almost like a cross between a sweet BBQ sauce and mango chutney, very tasty and a great way to order lamb for people who claim not to like the taste of lamb. Their dinner for 2 is under $40 and has everything from the appetizer, chicken tandoori, a meat curry, a vegetable dish, rice, naan bread , papads chutney, dessert gulab jamon, ice cream or baklava and your soft drinks or tea/coffee. Theres also a coupon in the local mail once in a while for $10 off your dinner check, making this an even better deal. I only wish this place had a lunch buffet like many of the other local indian restaurants, but their excellent dinners more then make up for that fact."
