ReviewsTruly memorable lunch My good friend who's also an Indian foodie of sorts and I ate lunch there on July 4, 2003 and found it surpassingly wonderful -- and we've been regularly eating Southern Indian food and searching for it of every kind (but especially Tamil, Karnataka, Kerala, etc. restaurants in the South Indian strongholds in Cerritos and so on in south LA County, but I'd take anything REALLY, REALLY good) for the past almost 10 years which also offer great and traditional but unusual foods (we're not by nature fusion foodies) -- from LA County to SF to Canada to Madrid "Annapurna" there is superpurb). Northern food has its place, but I really don't want to be offered a naan and aloo gobi at the same time I'm being offered puliyodaraih -- that strikes me as similar to "Oh, you'd like french fries with your crepes Suzettes and your crown of lamb?"

If you know something in the LA area for Southern Indian food better than Madras Tiffin (formerly the space of Madhu's Dasaprakash, which introduced me to So. Indian food in its late '70s version in West Hollywood), Woodland's, and Jai Bharav, let me know. And Next to Krishna Jamal's "Rubina Tandoori" in Vancouver, Canada, Ajanti is only a little bit just slightly not that good in terms of excellence. We started with tandoori portobello mushrooms, which were served with a creamy and spicy mustard sauce. Then came duck vindaloo which I was dubious about beforehand, but which I really liked once it was set before me. The killer dish, however, was tandoori cat fish Food Rating [8/10] Service Rating [10/10] Ambiance Rating [8/10]
