Good Indian Food west side?

[BeerMe]

My wife and I just moved here for school at UCLA. We came from the central valley near merced. There's an amazing Indian place in Merced called Taste of Little India. We've been a little homesick and so we decided to try to find some good indian food to remind us of home. We went to a place that was rated pretty highly on line called India's Oven on westwood. It wasn't bad but it didn't have the richness and depth of flavor we're used to. Anybody have any suggestions? There are a thousand indian places and we'd rather not kiss anymore frogs if that makes sense.

Thanks!

alright alright. here is the best most authentic indian food place. it is not near the westside though. you will have to drive to little india. take the 91 east to pioneer ave. it is called Rajadhani, 18525 Pioneer Boulevard, Artesia, CA (562) 402-9102
its a set vegetarian menu. this place is where the local indian people go to eat, or so an old indian local to us. so we went and it was amazing.

My favorite Indian Restaurant is called Paru's. not only is the food great but during the spring and summer their patio is a great place to take a date. it's like eating in a garden. very cool.

hello "BeerMe",
There are many Indian Restaurants as mentioned in various replies to your post. If you are looking for home cooked authentic Indian food, (vegetarian, non-vegetarian, south Indian) and really affordable, there is this girl who provides meals around UCLA.
I don't know if she still does, but its worth a try. 424-832-9203, "tiffin service" ..
Good day
