The Best Indian and South Asian Restaurants in Los Angeles

Los Angeles’s South Asian restaurants — Bangladeshi, Indian, Nepali, Pakistani, and Sri Lankan — span across the South Bay, the San Fernando Valley, and nearly everywhere in between. The restaurants celebrated on this list prepare filling biryanis laden with meat and aromatic spices, crispy dosas with warm potatoes and spicy chutney, abundant thalis that boast an array of regional dishes, and other beloved specialties from the subcontinent. While some serve more traditional offerings, others offer Los Angeles-specific interpretations of regional dishes, taking a cross-cultural lens to expand the definition of what makes a dish South Asian.

This map aims to represent more restaurants from Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Given that Artesia’s Pioneer Boulevard remains a hub for Indian dining, we’ve curated a standalone collection of its best restaurants. Here are the best South Asian restaurants in Los Angeles.
