  I've been here so many times now it's hard to count. The price point is so good, the food is excellent. I get the Aloo Parantha (fresh made Indian pancake stuffed with cauliflower) pretty much every time I come plus the lunch special which is two vegetables rice pickle chapati or naan and a samosa. vegetables are changed every day and you have your choice of two out of six. Generally for me it's choice of two out of four because I don't eat dairy. The total bill comes to $12. And you're completely stuffed.
  
  Plus unlike many other places that are self-serve, they actually have a filtered water machine. If you think about it most places just use tap water and it put it in a jar. Here it's actually filtered and it's quite nice. Highly recommend this if you're in the area.

  So far this has been one the best Indian restaurants in LA where you can eat as much junk food(loosely translated to Indian street food) as you want without hurting your wallet at all.
  
  We order basically everything that's possibly on the menu - Dosa, paratas, Pani puri, Paav bhaaji, Bhel puri, Chole bhatura, samosa chat, vada pav ! They have variety of desserts that you can pick from. We pick and chose four to five items every time, among three of us, not a crumb left behind !
  
  There might be slight confusion with the orders especially if there is a lot of people, but it's all worth it because, the food here is just amazing. It's better to keep an eye out to see if ur order is ready.

  For just $8, I can get lunch for 2 days.  I love their lunch combination.  It comes with rice, two sides, papadam, samosa and Chapati.  It's so much delicious food for a small price.  The servers are very nice and they have a small sit down area.  I'm not a vegetarian but India Sweets and Spices food is so flavorful where you don't have to be a vegetarian to enjoy it.

  Amazing Indian food ever! This is an Indian restaurant within an Indian grocery store. During our 2 day LA trip, we ate 3 times there. Loved the food that much and we tried:
  1. Makke ki roti and sarsoon ka saag: Makke ki roti is so delicious that we have never eaten such a thing in entire SF bay area. It is crunchy, soft with good amount of oil.
  2. Aloo vada with chutney: Delicious
  3. Kachori with Chana: This is really unique as have never eaten Kachori with chana or chole.
  4. Fried papad: Needless to say it was delicious because it was papad and fried. What's not to love ;)
  5. Masala dosa: Its portion size was so huge and it was filled with so much aloo filling. It was served with delicious sambar, coconut chutney, and tomato/peanut chutney.
  6. Vegetable puff: Simply delicious.
  7. Combo: Got it to go and it had rice(very soft and fresh), pakora kadhi, chole, one roti, raita, aloo tikki, chutney, and pickle. You can get samosa instead of tikki if its in stock.
  8. Rabdi: Delicious dessert that was perfectly sweet.
  9. Kala jamun piece: Like a donut soaked in sweet syrup. It was a bit on the sweeter side but its supposed to be sweet.
  
  Really wanted to try more items but had to head back home. Will highly recommend this place to anyone visiting LA and this neighborhood. Food is really fresh and they run out of it fast. When we went there around 5ish pm and they had all the curries. We went back around 9 pm and they ran out of lot of curries, biryani, and samosa. So there is no doubt that food is fresh. Staff is really friendly and very helpful. There are seats to sit and eat near the kitchen.
  
  Great business offering great food at reasonable prices. Highly recommended!

  If you are looking for scrumptious, authentic, Indian food in The Valley, that is entirely vegetarian, this is the place to go! ISS is a cafeteria style restaurant where you order at the counter and they scoop the chaat you want onto a plate. I recommend ordering the #2 Lunch Special which comes with your choice of regular or eggplant rice, roti or puri, and 2 chaat items (options rotate depending on the day) plus a samosa and dipping sauces (raita, tamarind chutney, and mint chutney). The #2 Lunch Special is so much food you could easily split it into 2 meals or share. I am a huge fan of the pakora here and highly recommend ordering a side of it to try. There is also an Indian market attached where you can stock up on fresh veggies, spicy snacks, and frozen naan. Love this spot!
