Just ordered the chicken Tikka marsala. Medium spice. It was so spicy that it's inedible. I can handle spicy, too, in every other Indian restaurant I've eaten at, both foreign and domestic. This was a mistake. Chef blew it, unfortunately. Dinner and dollars wasted. Have to throw it away. Too bad.

I am in love with Lusy's. I work as an assistant who does lunch runs for my office, and Lusy's is an office favorite. Before I dive into talking about the food, I have to note the customer service. It's a small crew, but they hustle and I've never had to wait for my large orders. They have them on time, with names, and they're always willing to go through everything and double check. There are plenty of Mediterranean places in the area but nothing compares to Lusy's. You can expect the usual menu items -- Chicken Kabob, Koobideh, salads... but the thing about Lusy's is that they NAIL every item. There's no \Eh\ in Lusy's. Everything is so so so tasty and fresh, the portions are perfect, the hummus is incomparable, I could go on and on! My favorite dish is the Chicken Kabob entree. You get a DELECTABLE little salad with their to-die-for house dressing, and a nice scoop of hummus with rice and of course the Kabob. I just moved to Los Angeles and I'm still figuring out the food scene, but Lusy's quickly became my go to. Any time I'm hungry without an appetite/craving, I'm just like well I'll get Lusy's because it always hits the spot.

Stopped here for a quick bite to eat before the King's game. Though this place is great for quick food and friendly service, I found the food to be lacking. What other restaurants have that Mr. Masala misses is the depth of flavor. When I go to eat Indian food I expect curries simmering for hours to develop the ingredients, but I felt the cuisine here to be somewhat one dimensional. For that reason, the meat samosa and the shrimp vindaloo were not up to par for me. Enjoyed the warmth and charred bubbles of the garlic naan, and my chai latte was perfect. Not sure I would be back here, but I appreciated the kindness of our service and would consider it for another fast meal.
