India Sweets & Spices
9409 Venice Blvd.Culver City, Ca 90034
I remember the first time I went to India Sweets and Spices. Everyone will. Not because the food is so amazing and cheap, but you won’t have a clue what or how to order. The servers are curt, they expect you to know what you’re doing. It’s not bad service, it’s just their priorities are get to you fed, not make friends. There’s a difference between being your moody self and being a bad sever, it’s a razor thin line, but it’s there.
There’s a menu with a dozen dinner combinations on it and none of it makes sense. When this kind of thing happens to me, I usually order the #2 (at Soot Bull Jeep it’s the ribeye). This #2 is two scoops of rice, two vegetable dishes (don’t bother asking them what they are, just point), a samosa, a pakora, one piece of naan, and a big flaky chip. All for around $5.50. It’s one of the best deals in LA I’ve come across.
Plus it’s an Indian grocer, so if you happen to need fourteen different kinds of naan, you can cross it off your list here.
There’s always people here, but it’s never busy. I’ve seen India Sweets & Spices bring out some random West L.A. customers, like this little anomaly.
The more you go there, the less intimidated you become by the ebb and flow of the line. As you get more acquainted with the servers, you can make fun of them and they can make fun of you. Try the dessert ever so often.
