Bollywood Zaika

The food here is amazing—some of the best Indian food I’ve had. The flavors are authentic, the dishes are well prepared, and I’ve always enjoyed the quality of the food. Unfortunately, I’ve noticed a significant change in portion sizes, particularly with the meat portions. For the price being charged, receiving only about four bite-sized pieces of meat in a main dish is disappointing. When the owner was serving customers, the portions seemed much more reasonable and consistent. Since a newer employee began serving, I’ve noticed the meat portions have become noticeably smaller. I even brought this concern to her attention, but the issue has continued. It’s frustrating to pay premium prices and receive such a limited amount of the main ingredient. I truly enjoy the food and want to continue supporting this restaurant, which is why this is disappointing. I hope management reviews the portioning practices and returns to the consistency that originally made this place such a great value. The food is excellent, but the portion sizes need improvement.

Great lunch spot! The wrap with side is a great deal for a lunch. I had the chicken vindaloo with jeera aloo and my partner had the butter chicken with chana masala and both were delicious. It was a decent amount of food but you won't feel overly stuffed. The addition of the coleslaw in the wrap add a nice crunch and their curries are great. The ladies working there were very friendly. They have a decent amount of seating and a restroom in the back.

"Love this place! 😋 Indian food with amazing spices, wonderful atmosphere, and top-notch service. Sev poori is my fave snack and the tikka masala pizza is a game-changer - even the pickiest eaters devour it! 🍴 Highly recommend trying it out!" Tikka masala pizza is a GENIUS fusion 😂👌! Kids love it. That's a win-win!.🍴

If I could give this place more than five stars, I would. My wife, Deepali, and I stumbled upon this hidden gem during our vacation in LA, and what started as a quick stop turned into us eating four straight meals here. Yes, it is that good. We have traveled across many U.S. states and tried Indian food everywhere, but Bollywood Zaika is by far the best we’ve ever had. Every dish we tried—from the Paneer Tikka Pizza and the Bombay Sandwich to the Dabeli, Dahi Puri, and Pani Puri—was phenomenal. Their Dal, Baigan Bharta, Chole, and Tava Fry Veggies paired with fresh Garlic Naan and Roti match the flavors of any 5-star restaurant in India. Beyond the food, the experience is pure nostalgia. The platter concept and the Bollywood-themed decor immediately transported us back to our favorite street food and restaurant memories of growing up in Mumbai. What truly sets this place apart, however, are the owners, Urvi and Viraj. These sisters pour their hearts into their guests. They make you feel like you are eating with family in your own home. We truly feel we’ve found friends for life. We’ve already vowed to travel all the way from Greenville, SC—thousands of miles away—just to experience

Bollywood is a must stop in Redondo Beach. It is on PCH in a little strip mall. Parking is easy and free. As soon as you get out of the car these wonderful smells of Indian food hit you and you have to go in, you are summoned in. It smells great, you know it is going to be great and your night is made. You can dine there, it is a small place, but they have several areas for seating. It is comfortable and you are in the aroma of the food. The night we were there they had a man outside with a grill. When we left we asked what he was making. It is some sort of round pizza size plate that I am sure is great. We will have it next time. You walk up to the counter and they have dishes in heat and they also make food in the back. We decided to try their 2 mains, 2 sides. It comes in a great tray separating the food. It also comes with Indian bread. I can't do much spice anymore so I had these wonderful potato cubes with the best spice and not too hot. I also had two of the best curry dishes and I ordered garlic naan. It was the best garlic naan I have ever had, it was fresh and had a butter garlic on it. I will always get that. Both my curries were great and they serve it over the best
