A few dishes our customers love
Channi’s Favorites
Chicken Tikka masala
Creamy, comforting & full of flavor NO SEED OILS • GLUTEN-FREE • NO NUTS ADDED
Channi’s Kitchen was built around one simple idea: real food should still be possible on busy days. Channi believes that even on those days food should still be thoughtfully prepared. Her recipes are made without seed oils or added nuts, and nearly every meal is gluten-free, with the exception of our naan and samosa puffs. Channi creates every recipe with the same bold Indian flavors and comforting style that built our following at Los Angeles farmers markets.

Thank you so much for those kind words. We are so happy to be cooking for you Priya.
I used to think Indian food was only curry chicken, curry lamb and curry vegetables. Channi opened up a new world for me, and made me fall in love with Indian food!
I specially love her chicken tikka masala, potato pao bhaji, and chicken puff pastries.
I would recommend to my friends anytime.
She's the best!

Thank you Vivien for the kind words. I'm glad I've been able to give you a flavor of what I grew up on.
Everything was as expected. Was really craving simple home style cooking vs restaurant food and most dishes hit that mark, the delivery was professional and timely too. Will be ordering again for sure and sharing with friends :)
Store owner replied:
Thanks Daksh. Glad our food brought back memories of home. Mission accomplished! :-) We look forward to cook for you again.
What a spectacular find in LA! Flavorful and nutritious meals, thoughtfully prepared and beautifully packaged. Ordering online is a breeze, and delivery and phone call handled with such care and courtesy. A wonderful experience from start to finish!
Store owner replied:
You are most welcome John and thank you for the private messages in helping make our offering even better. Appreciate all the help!
Everything so far was excellent..the biryani was so good (especially with the aji sauce). The yellow dhal and chicken channa masala was really tasty. The food is well packaged, portions are generous (my husband and I have shared the portions and we were both satisfied), flavors are so good! I will certainly order again and tell my friends, too. I have no pictures because we devoured the food as soon as it was ready. I will try to remember for the next time.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Sheree. Glad you enjoyed the food and "devoured" it. Love that!
The delivery was smooth and easy and the food was excellent- we especially enjoyed the chicken tikka and the samosas! The kitchari was also delicious!!! Would 10/10 order Channis again!
Store owner replied:
Hi Megha: Thank you. Yes the Kitchari is one of my favorites. Reminds me of home for sure. -Channi
We ordered the 10-meal box from Channi's kitchen, and it was not only delicious but also a hit with the children. We will be ordering food again because of the quality and service.
Store owner replied:
Thank you B.L. Glad to have cooked for you now several times.
I really enjoyed the food from Channi’s Kitchen. The flavors were comforting and delicious, and the meals were easy to heat and enjoy at home. I’d happily order again!
Store owner replied:
Thank you Nikhil. Much appreciated!
Great flavors that was enjoyed by all (including one picky eater). Really enjoyed the 5 meal box because it allowed for a variety of dishes so the kids could try new flavors. Great customer service from ordering through delivery!
Store owner replied:
Thank you S. We love picky eaters and are so happy that the food earned a passing grade with them.
Loved the healthy homemade like food, despite not being spicy was very flavorful and everyone including the kids in the family loved it. Thanks Channi and team.
Store owner replied:
Thank you Aruna. Glad to be cooking for you.
My brother was having an engagement party this past weekend, and we’ve had a bunch of family in town and staying with us, which is what lead us to order from Channi's Kitchen. Her food was delicious and made life a lot easier for us as we had good, desi food we could just warm up very quickly. The chicken tikka was especially popular with our family. The delivery drivers were super nice and explained everything on how to best warm up and store the food. We’ve been looking for a few years to have a similar service, so it was awesome that we finally found one. Channi also threw in a complimentary garlic naan, which we really appreciated. I would definitely order from Channi's Kitchen again.
Store owner replied:
The pleasure was all ours. Thank you for thinking of us for your family event. Glad you found the food a time saver. Look forward to cooking for you all again.
Fresh ingredients and excellent taste for the chicken curry and saag paneer. The naan is outstanding. LA has so much culinary variety but good Indian cuisine with quality ingredients is hard to find. I hope they succeed!
Store owner replied:
Awesome to hear you Ish. Thank you for giving the opportunity to brighten you day.
Channi's food is incredible! Love the lamb samosas and chicken tikka masala. Everything is great and the family couldn't be more wonderful! Very reasonably priced and things reheat really well.
Amazing food, Such a great addition to the farmer's market. I love their vegan masala chili. It has so much depth and flavor and I love their potato samosas too. So even though I like meat here I usually get their vegan vegetarian options, and prefer them. Everything I've tried is really good though. If you see them at your farmer's market or out at an event, definitely stop in and grab something... you won't be disappointed!
This was the most amazing food I have had in quite some time! My daughter and I found them at the La Cañada Farmer's Market and the food was delicious!! Thank you for making us so happy today!
I'm giving this pop-up 5 stars for a handful of reasons.
First and most important is the food. I've tried everything they have and it's all well seasoned, tasty, and appeals to my tastebuds/palate. The meat and vegetarian chilli masalas are both rich with flavor, and the sauce has a great viscosity. It's not too thick are thin. The chicken biryana rice isn't sticky and falls apart nicely, and the chicken meat is juicy. The pastries are a must if you cannot grab anything else at the time; super flaky; very buttery.
The service is speedy and friendly. And the friendliness provides a good ambiance for a quick exchange of ordering and food delivery--it is a pop-up which has no space to provide ambiance, yet they manage to provide a level of warmth and comfort to the customer.
The prices are pretty fair. They pop-up on Friday evening at the Monrovia evening fest on Myrtle, and again on Saturday morning at the La Crescenta Flintridge Farmer's Market.
Give them a try when able and let me know what ya think.
