Assam Indian Kitchen in Van Nuys

We went two days ago while on our way to Las vegas. We googled it. It had good reviews, so we gave it a shot. How glad am I that we did. Its a super cute hole in the wall that gives you all the love of an amazing home cooked meal. While delivering great service, attention, and restaurant quality food. Our two main recommendations are the Naan, which is not slathered in butter its just great quality. Naan, you can taste the love. Following that, the lamb Tikka Masala, though we wish we got it spicier. We did get this amazing chili that the server brought to add on that made the dish perfect. Super sad we forgot the rest of the chili by the table. All in all, I love the food and love the family, and the chef is really a sweet, special person whod love to talk to you and show you he cares.

Absolutely love this place! The workers were so kind and welcoming and of course the food is delicious. Good portion size to price ratio and it has a cozy atmosphere. Couldn’t speak more highly of a restaurant!

This whole in the wall Indian spot is worth going to everyday! Great service and quality chef! They are very personable and care about your thoughts and wants in food. My friend didn’t want anything to spicy and they delivered exceptionally. We will be back for sure!

YOU WANT AMAZINGGGGGG FOOD?? YOU WANT AN AMAZINGLY CHARISMATIC CHEF WHO COOKS FROM THE SOUL???? Look no further!!!!! I have eaten just about everything off of the menu, and have yet to be disappointed! This is absolutely the best Indian food in town, in this entire city, in this region, and perhaps the state! It is worth the drive, regardless, of how far you have to commute to get to it, GET TO IT!!!!!! You will not be disappointed! Flavorful, sultry, each portion will have you licking your fingers after and wanting more! Come check them out. I eat here literally twice a week.

I enjoyed the chicken masala, rice and nan. The fish curry needed a bit more flavor, I felt it was bland. Overall, the server was friendly and the food was served hot. I enjoyed my meal. The prices are reasonable and the portions are great.

Phenomenal Indian food. Just moved to the area and have been searching for flavorful and authentic Indian cuisine. Glad to know my hunt is over after finding this hole in the wall spot. The chef demonstrates clear talent and hospitality. Excited to come back!

First time at Assam. Chicken tikka masala, lamb pasanda, samosas were all great! Will def be back. Thanks Shams!!

10/10 service and hospitality, 10/10 portion size, and 10/10 seasoning and taste. My husband is a tough sell and he says it’s the best Indian dishes he ever had and can’t wait to come back. We’re new in the area and have tried about 5 Indian restaurant and this easily is the best.

I ordered the spicy garlic lamb, it was delicious and so was the garlic NaanThis is AUTHENTIC Indian foodAlso had the samosa omg amazing 👏Family owned and operated. Please support this restaurant. Friendly staff. Great energy.

This restaurant is such a gem! I absolutely enjoyed my experience. One of the owners, Sham, was there and he was so very kind and attentive to each customer.The food will speak for itself! The portion sizes were very generous. My absolute favorite was the paneer makhani. I loved the richness of the sauce. It had just the slightest hint of sweetness and was spiced so well. The mango curry with chicken was also very smooth and had the distinct sweetness of a mango with bright sauce. Both of these entrees paired very well with their garlic naan. Their garlic naan was great because the texture was perfect and I could taste the crispy garlic bits peppered throughout the naan through the flavors of each curry.Pro tips: ALL of their entrees come with a side of rice which is such a rare find. And look how fluffy the rice is! They also have a large selection of vegetarian and vegan options.Overall, I would highly recommend this place. You dont want to miss it. There is traditional music playing lightly inside. The interior of the restaurant is very clean and the booths are spaced well so it doesnt feel cramped at all. And of course, you must go for the sake of your taste buds!NOTE: When I mapped to this place from Google Maps, the app automatically directed me to 6322 NORTH Van Nuys Blvd, San Fernando Valley, CA 91401. Their address actually IS NOT on NORTH Van Nuys Blvd. It is JUST 6322 Van Nuys Blvd, San Fernando Valley, CA 91401. (The two addresses are only 1 mile apart, but definitely something to note especially if you are walking!)
