"Just went to Swadesh. The beef patty was wonderful—well spiced with a flaky pastry exterior. Samosas also great, with a fine potato mash inside. Cheap, and they have a small sit down area. Most dishes are displayed, but I think I saw some stuff come out of the kitchen that wasn't on display, no menu of course. Worth stopping by." – echoparkdirt on Swadesh in Koreatown

"Mendocino Farms in the Marina has some of the best sandwiches in the city. Their braised lamb sandwich made with slow braised lamb shoulder, mint pesto, goat cheese, balsamic vinegar, pickled red onions, and arugula on toasted ciabatta is my favorite at the moment." – wienermobile on Mendocino Farms in Marina Del Rey

"Mayura in Culver City [is] the only restaurant that has original recipes and dishes from a particular region (Kerala)—there is no such thing as North Indian and South Indian—every state in India has its own distinctive cuisine and even within a state, different regions can have different food and so can different religious and minority communities." – IndianVegan
