Yelper Peijean T., who reviewed Abhiruchi Grill on December 10th, wrote: "This new Indian restaurant in Palms offers possibly the best Indian food in West LA. Many of the dishes I had not previously seen on an Indian restaurant menu and the ones that were familiar to me were extra robust...wow!"

Jux L. noted: "The lamb korma was one of the better that I've had in LA, albeit a smallish order. The Szechwan noodles were really tasty; not Indian, not Chinese, not Mexican, but with elements of each nicely put together."
