Al-Noor Restaurant - Lawndale, California

molto squisito, lo consiglio

Chicken tikka Masala

been’there

Very good Pakistani food with taste you can’t find in many Indian or Pakistani restaurants. Very authentic food you can enjoy and also taste. The atmosphere is very simple but you are going for the food anyway. Chana was fresh and cooked to perfection. The chutney too was home made and it was so tasty. You could close your eyes and order a dish and not regret it. The owners work at the restaurant very hard and they are very humble. I would go here anytime to enjoy a good Pakistani meal.

I’ve looked far and wide for good Indian food, and was recommended Al-Noor for its curries. I’m delighted I finally got to try this Pakistani/Indian gem, it’s well worth LA traffic! Friendly family-owned business with quick service. Chaotic parking lot with tight spaces, might need to park on the residential streets nearby.

Friend and I tried two curries with chicken and lamb - both boldly seasoned with tender meat that melt in your mouth. The rice was fragrant and the garlic naan was fluffy and savory, with a slight crisp. The mango lassi was also fantastic, very refreshing without being too sweet. The price of the meal added up (I believe rice was a separate charge?), but this quality was definitely worth the splurge to me. I haven’t found anything comparable to Al Noor in LA yet. Will certainly be back.

We revisited Alnoor after a five-year gap, and I still fondly remember their incredible biriyani, which thankfully hasn't changed! The renovated space is now even more welcoming. We ordered biriyani, kabob, naan, and mild chicken curry, and they got the flavors just right. Our kids (7 and 2) thoroughly enjoyed every dish. The masala was freshly prepared to order, not pre-cooked. Although the place was bustling and takeaway orders took some time, the owner, who took our order, was kind and friendly. Parking was convenient. Overall, Alnoor remains an excellent choice for family dining or gatherings.

Called ahead and placed a catering order for a small get together and I had a good experience. The food was ready at the agreed pick up time and customer service was good.
Ordered the butter chicken, rice, garlic and butter naan, and gulab jamun. The butter chicken was delicious and spicy (at my request), the naan was decent, and the gulab was good.
P.S. just ask to speak to the manager if you have a catering order so you don’t have to repeat yourself.

I ordered the Chicken Biriyani. Food was good. But, Spicy level also good.(As, I ordered). But, It’s not like Genuine Biriyani. Look like they just mixed up some rice with Oil and Masala.. I hope they will give better service with food quality.! They, give a small box of Salad. Usually others restaurant does not offer this. I like that. Overall, Good luck for them.

In the front of the restaurant, there was ads saying this is the best Indian-Pakistani restaurant in LA county. So naturally I got intrigued and had to check out myself.

For starters the staff and the owners are very friendly.

I had 2 nice medium sized samosas. They were delicious. For the main entrance , I had chicken tikka masala medium spicy with white rice and butter naan. To drink, I had the tasty mango lassi. Definitely one of their bestseller drink there!

The portion of the chicken tikka masala, rice and naan bread where huge.

The chicken tikka masala was on point , very delicious. I had so much, that I took leftovers back home to eat.

The food was really good. I definitely recommend showing this place some love. ?

I can’t wait to be back again!
They definitely deserve 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

First timer & I ordered the lamb & spinach curry dish. I did so with trepidation, because I always worry about the quality of the meat in stew-like food, and I’m very extremely picky in this. Well, they exceeded my expectations, both in the quality of the lamb and certainly in the quantity. Further, I ordered the small hamburger patties on the side, because I thought the main dish would be light on the meat, as some places do. Boy, was I wrong. There was both most excellent quality and massive quantity of lamb in the dish. And the taste was fantastic of the spinach and sauce and rice also excellent & fluffy as heck & I just should’ve gotten a large rice because of the large amount in the main course. I’ll certainly be a second time customer and beyond! Thank you!
