Lal Mirch

Lal Mirch: I was in Hollywood / Studio City / Lake Toluca, working on my laptop in a coffee shop. Here are my comments noted as I was eating.

chicken tandoori has great taste...not bright pink, but colored by
spices
Chicken curries are good too, but not special.
Cabbage tastes like curry...tasty. It's all very mild...meaning the entire meal.

The naan is good, though I wish it were whole wheat...roti.

Chai is interesting. Seems very weak without sugar. Adding enough
sugar to make it sweet. I would prefer a standard chai...I can't
taste any cardamom or pepper in this...I'm not sure what it is.

Paneer doesn't go as well with peas...I prefer spinach. But the curry
sauce is great...creamy.

The corn, carrot, potato dish is nicely spiced but not overwhelming.
Very flavorful, though I wish it had more heat.

Seating is good, comfy booths, carpeting, medium lighting. Attentive
waiters. Not even half full. There are a very small number of
parking spaces in back. I'm picking up an open wifi node, but I don't think
it's official.

I wouldn't go back unless I had a craving for Indian food and was in the area. I should get it through my head that LA doesn't have good Indian food and just eat other types of food.
