Famous Tandoori

This hole in the wall Pakistani and Indian Halal restaurant has been our staple for Indian food since our friend Ana brought it to our attention. The place is quite small, though they have a separate room for private parties.

We always order the Chicken Tikka Masala which has an incredible and very edible sauce. This time we also tried the Palak Paneer; fresh spinach with cubed cheese cooked in mild spices and herbs. Don't let the mild fool you, it's a bit spicy.  A salad of sliced onions is served with a nice green dressing but we usually don't even bother with the salad.  We usually have the Garlic Naan but this time we tried the  Sesame Naan which we now prefer. Though the naan was a necessity to mop up the wonderful sauce, we also needed some Basmati rice.

Famous Tandoori is located at 1817 Pacific Coast Highway, Lomita in California. It is easy to miss because of its size. It is between Western Ave. and Eshelman Avenue.
