Flavor of India is a Studio City staple on Ventura Blvd

Flavor of India has been pulling in a loyal crowd at 12321 Ventura Blvd for long enough that 3,174 Google reviews at 4.8 stars says something real. This is a quaint, unhurried Indian restaurant that does classic dishes well and takes vegetarian options seriously, not as an afterthought.

The setting is warm and the pace is relaxed, which is part of why people keep coming back. There is patio seating if you want to be outside, and the place works for groups. They also do cocktails, wine, and beer, and a brunch service if that is on your radar.

Reservations are worth making, especially on weekends. If you would rather stay home, takeout and delivery are both available. At a $$ price point on Ventura Blvd, it holds its own against the competition and then some.
