Customer Reviews
Fitoor is such a beautiful upscale Indian spot in Santa Monica. The vibe is amazing, we went on a Saturday around 8 PM and it was completely packed, so definitely make a reservation. There was a live DJ and it made the whole dinner feel fun and energetic. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. Everything we tried was great, but the Branzino and the prawns were absolutely excellent. If you’re looking for great Indian food with a lively atmosphere, this is definitely the place to go.
As I start to write the review and think about the experience, I am a little conflicted between 3 and 4 stars overall and I’ll try to lay it out in some detail. I’ll go with 4 stars but with some lingering doubt. We went here for dinner on a Thursday evening. We had a reservation and were seated almost immediately when we got there. The restaurant occupies a fairly large space and even has a section that can do private events. The table felt a little tight for a party of four but that’s what they have and it worked with some creative moving/placing of dishes so I suppose that’s fine. The ambiance was excellent. I really liked that the restaurant gave the feel of a fine dining experience, unlike many Indian restaurants. I’m not always seeking out fine dining, but when I am, I will know t
Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. The food I ordered was beautifully presented, but the flavors didn’t quite match what I’d expect from Indian cuisine (even fusion), especially for the price. But the dessert was really good.
This was a nice fancy place to come out to dinner for elevated Indian food. I ordered the Cordelia drink that was nice and refreshing. We ordered family style so we got to try everything. Portion sizes were a bit on the small side. So make sure you order enough. The curry leaf prawns, coastal flame scallops and eggplant kulcha was very good! The pulled butter chicken kulcha & Kerala beef pepper fry were decent. The favorites were probably the lamb shank Rogan Josh & the alleppey prawn & curry fish. It was all very fragrant, flavorful and delicious. The ambience of the restaurant feels like a cocktail bar with upscale food. This would be a neat place to visit just for a drink by the bar. This restaurant also accommodates pets as I had a dog there in the outdoor patio. The staff was very a
I’m in town with some friends and we decided to stop by for dinner and it was great! Our server Gabi was so kind and attentive and super fun! The GM was also so funny and stopped by our table to introduce himself. The ambience and location was also great! Will definitely be back soon!
