Downtown Monrovia, California
The Indian restaurant Monrovia
keeps coming back to.
Mahan Indian Restaurant brings real, slow-cooked Indian food to South Myrtle Avenue — whole spices ground in-house, breads made to order, and a lunch buffet worth planning your week around. Join us Tuesday through Sunday, 11am to 3pm, for our All You Can Eat Lunch Buffet.
Our Kitchen
Real spice work, not shortcuts.
At Mahan, curries are built the traditional way — onions caramelized low and slow, whole spices toasted and ground fresh, and every gravy finished by hand. It's what regulars mean when they call us the best Indian food in Monrovia: nothing here is rushed. We've also grown into a family restaurant in Monrovia in the truest sense — a place where the same faces come back week after week, and new ones quickly feel like they belong.
- Whole spices ground in-house daily
- Tandoor breads made fresh to order
- Vegetarian, vegan & gluten-conscious options available
