Mayura Amrit

test… too bad they closed. Not sure why they closed it.

Damn dude can’t believe this place is closed. Best butter chicken it had in Los Angeles. The servers were always nice hope they have another restaurant

Exceedingly delicious.
In our South LA black hole of good food, these guys are a welcome ray of sunshine. I had never had butter chicken before, but like everyone says — it’s really good. The palak paneer is unique — a little lighter in color than i’m used to at the other indian places, and light in a sort of fluffy way.

I don’t know who is giving these reviews but utterly disappointed with the quality of the food. I ordered the butter chicken and it was a runny soap with maybe 2 Oz of what looked liked leftover from someone else’s chicken tandoori. Nearly lost my lunch or should I say dinner. The garlic nun was stale and as tough as the soles of my flip flops not that I ever chewed on them. The sag paneer was OK but nothing I would crave again. Bottom line, I don’t recommend this place until the owner takes responsibility and cleans up the place.

Ordered delivery 2 hours ago and still no food. why do they take SOOOO long??? never ordering from them again regardless of how the food taste.

Great place with great food. Very authentic with perfect flavors. Service is awesome! Parents introduced me to this place and I’m glad I came across this gem.

Good food but horrible delivery time. Takes about 2 hours for them every time to deliver food a couple miles away.

One of the best places near USC to get Indian Food!
South Indian Combos including Appams are amazing and reasonably priced… Moreover the food is tastier, flavourful with some good indian spices…
Definitely try it out… The person there is very helpful //

This restaurant has great Indian food and I personally think it’s better than Manas (and much better than the one in UV). The butter chicken was delicious and among the best I’ve had anywhere. I had it with rice and four pieces of garlic naan for a total of $ 10 which added up to a great, affordable meal. The waiters/​owners are very friendly and welcoming.
I highly recommend this restaurant if you’re craving Indian food.

Great Indian food. I used to get the chicken tikka masala with garlic naan, but I’ve been switched over to the butter chicken. It’s a hard contest though.
I like Manas, but I think Mayura has tastier food and usually better quality chicken. I honestly crave their butter chicken. It’s quickly become my favorite place for delivery around USC.

We used to like their curries and uppams but not any more. Looks like they changed their chef.

I wanted some easy Indian food on a lazy Sunday so I ordered the butter chicken for pickup. For 8.95 I got a single styrofoam container of gravy wrapped in cling wrap.
Seriously? That’s it?
No rice, not even any chutney?
The waiter was really nice and said that rice is a «special order.» Yeah, no. I ended up making rice at home.
The actual butter chicken looked pretty good but it tasted… floury? Not exactly like raw flour but the texture was very thick, like a heavily flour-​thickened sauce. The chicken was nice and tender, though, and the overall flavor was good. It’s an incredibly heavy dish (there’s that gummy flour feeling at the back of my throat) and my stomach feels like there’s a quarter pound of dough in it. I had about ¹⁄₈ of the curry over rice.
It was *okay* but I’ve had better experiences at Panda Express.

The five star award is not because the food is out of the world brilliant. But because its the best Indian food you can get in the USC area. Your other choice would be Manas (another Indian restaurant close by) and the food here is definitely better…
The food here has a more south indian orientation and has more of those dishes. This place does lack in ambiance and the surroundings aren’t great either but the food is a must try.
The good service and the MANGO LASSI just demanded the fifth star…

I think this is the best Indian place around USC. Much better than Manas. I always get the butter chicken, which is one of the best Indian dishes I’ve had anywhere.
I highly recommend this place.

The chicken biryani is really good here, A bit oily but very tasty. I am regular here for the chicken biryani! the quantity is good and the raita they give is very good too. It is spicy to the Indian standards which is what i like about the place.
The also have good mango lassi which is my usual desert after the biryani.
Not the best place for dine in though. I usually order for take out.

I had been craving Indian food for the longest time and I finally got around to disappointing myself.
The Cauliflower appetizer made in the «Indo-​Chinese» style was… Eeeesh. Not very tasty. Unless you like foods that are mushy, slightly bland, and covered in Orange Chicken sauce.
The Chicken Vindaloo with Garlic Naan was okay (It would probably taste better if I decided to be patient and wait to eat this, instead of being really hungry and wanting to eat something NOW so why not order the Cauliflower dish? REGRET.)
Oh, yeah. The Rose Shake assaulted my senses. I wanted so badly for it to taste like the rose-​flavored ice-​creams that dance through my dreams constantly. It tastes like you tumbled off of a cliff and landed in the smelliest garden of CVS-​brand Eau De Rosette.
SO REMEMBER. When Life opens the door to Mayura Amrit, do not order the Cauliflower, and do not stop to drink the Rose Shake.

This is my go-​to place for authentic Indian food. They have both northern and southern dishes, and everything is delicious. I am not Indian, but a few of my friends that have gone here say it is the most authentic place around USC. It is super close to where I live and I am always greeted with a smile.
I have ordered for delivery, pickup, and eat-​in. Delivery is always fast and pickup is always ready when they say it will be (15 minutes, tops). Eating there is a nice experience and the servers are attentive.
The prices are a bit high for the quantity received. Also, I was offered a deal and the next time I went to the restaurant and tried to redeem it they wouldn’t honor it. I will try to talk to the guy who mentioned it and hope something comes of that. It’s irritating to be told one thing and denied it, especially when that was the main reason I decided to go to the restaurant. I still ordered because I was starving and do love their food.
High price compared to portions and not honoring that deal are the reasons for docking two stars.

I decided to try out this place after reading several favorable Unilocal reviews, especially since it is right around the corner from where I live.
After reading so much about the butter chicken, I decided to go along with that. I ordered it for pickup and it was ready about 15 minutes later.
The butter chicken was really tasty, especially with the rice and had a lot of flavor. It has a very similar flavor to tikka masala but a little bit different and not as much spicyness. I would prefer it to have a little bit more of a bite, but it was really satisfying. The total for my meal was a little over $ 10 and there is plenty of food for about 2 meals so it has great value as well.
In my opinion, this place is a lot better than Mana’s which I have never been the biggest fan of and is a little bit cheaper as well.
Wish I had known this sooner and would have hit this place up at least a couple of times before moving out of the area.
One thing to note about this place, is that they have recently revamped the menu and lowered prices, and now you are required to order rice in addition to your entrée if you want it.

I recently visited this place with bunch of other classmates.
The seating is like any typical restaurants with the booths on the side that seats about 4 people and tables and chairs in the center.
We had a pretty large group so we just practically took the entire center space.
The owner/​employees were super nice and gave great recommendations! It was a very chill experience.
Our group had a lot of food ordered and ate it family-​style. It was a little uncomfortable, because the food weren’t meant to be served like that. So, I recommend going with a smaller group if you want to eat family style. Other than that the food was flavorful :)
My favorite was the Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter chicken (both cost a little less than $ 10 each).
I also had two different types of drink — Mango Lassi and Masala Chai. The Mango Lassi was very thick and had a strong mango flavor. It was good, but really heavy with all the other food. Also, we ordered the Masala Chai to just try it (a hot drink), and it was really good. Supposedly, all the spices are from India directly since the mother of one of the owners bring them over herself. So, I definitely recommend the Masala Chai unless you don’t like strong spices in general.
*need to spend a minimum of $ 10 to use credit card.
