" Masala #2 is a hidden gem in Hollywood! I visited last week and had their chicken tikka masala, which was simply fantastic. The spices were perfectly balanced, and the portion size was generous for the price. I loved that the owner prepares the food himself, which gives it a home-cooked feel. The atmosphere was cozy, although it would have been nice to have some background music. Overall, an amazing dining experience, and I can't wait to return! " (*Curated Review*)

" In my quest for authentic Indian food, I stumbled upon Masala #2 and I am so glad I did! The vibrant spices in the dishes made each bite a new adventure. The chicken tikka masala was excellent and had just the right amount of creaminess. The service was impeccable, with the owner checking in on me multiple times. It's a little hole in the wall that deserves more recognition. I will be recommending it to my friends! " (*Curated Review*)

" Found this little spot called Masala #2 and loved it! The cumin chicken was remarkable and had deep earthy flavors. It was encouraging seeing the owner personally involved in preparing the food. I also got to try the lentil soup, which was perfect for the cool day. Can't wait to come back and explore more of the menu! " (*Curated Review*)

" A delightfully authentic experience at Masala #2! The flavors were vibrant, and I appreciated how the owner takes pride in his work. It’s clear that there’s a lot of love poured into each dish. The chicken tikka was flavorsome, freshly made, and perfectly spicy. If you're looking for a true taste of India in LA, this is the place to check out! " (*Curated Review*)

" An average experience at Masala #2. The food had some good flavors, but I expected a more robust authenticity. The mango lassi was refreshing, but the curries lacked depth. Service was pleasant, but it was nothing special. I wouldn’t rush back but wouldn't completely rule it out either. " (*Curated Review*)

" I don't usually write reviews, but Masala #2 deserves it. The food was delightful, capturing the true essence of Indian cuisine. The owner was present and made the dining experience more personal. One small downside was the lack of a sit-down dining option, as it is takeout only. Still, the quality of food makes it worth it. Great value for the price! " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I decided to try out Masala #2 for dinner, and overall, it was a mixed bag. While some dishes were fantastic in terms of flavor, others fell flat. The bhindi masala was quite nice, but the dal was less impressive. The owner was friendly but seemed overwhelmed with the crowd that night. I’d say worth a visit, but pick your dishes wisely! " (*Curated Review*)
