Paru's Indian Vegetarian Restaurant Description:
Paru's specializes in the cuisine of South India, where cooks typically use rich spices and aromatic herbs to transform intricate conjurations of vegetables, lentils, and rice into tasty meals that are as fulfilling as they are filling. Masala Dosa, Idli, Uppuma, and Sambar are the mainstays of a style of cooking with which all India, and now much of the rest of the world, has fallen in love.
This little gem is hidden (literally) on an unassuming stretch of Sunset Boulevard. You ring a doorbell and the gate will open to a small overgrown garden and cozy dining room interior, decorated with vibrant Indian fabrics and pictures of various Indian saints and gurus. In that exotic and welcoming small space, a hip crowd munches on south Indian food that's not extraordinary but reliably good. The menu is strictly vegetarian and prepared with the spiritual concept of loving kindness. We love to start with its always-fresh samosas and order various curries such as cauliflower with potato, spinach with lentils, and chickpeas or eggplant matched with some warm paratha or poori (Indian flatbread). If you're not familiar with the south Indian style (looking for naan? You won't find it here), try the combination plates such as Punjab Glory or Yogi's Delight and familiarize yourself with uttapam (thick lentil crêpe), masala dosa or vadai. The options are small, but you can't beat the prices and they make a delicious mango lassi and a very nice cup of chai. There's a reason this place has been around since 1979.
