Manas-Indian Cuisine

Peter Sellars called LA the city of hidden treasurers, during the first LA Arts Festival in the early 90's and it is.

It's a non-centralized, mulit-pocketed urban amorphic city with an amazing ocean of ethnic foods. Our collegue, Zipporah asked if we like Indian food. We do and off we were to the neighborhood near USC. We parked in front of a Latino birthday party supply place, 99 cent store and fabric shop on Vermont. Parkling is a premium in LA and we were lucky to find a space.

Manas-Indian Cuisine, 2823 South Vermont Avenue, LA CA 90007, 323-731-4333 from the outside looks like just another restaurant along this busy side of the USC neighborhood but once you walk inside, it's a different story. Wow, it's pretty fancy.

We had the buffett of rices, curry, chicken, potatos and veggies. It was amazing. I had three servings. The mango lassi was the best I ever had, not too sweet, creamy and delicious. I ate so much, all I could eat for dinner that night was a very small salad.

The folks running it are very nice and they seem to cater a lot, especially for various departments for USC. Swweeeeettttt!!!!!
