These guys are the OG's, Always enjoy catching up with Uncle.

[@SaucyTelevision]

He is *THE* " _Uncle Ji_ " of LA - love that you recognize and appreciate them!

If this is Punjabi food, what is Indian food ?

[@bennysingh-rios2127]

I am half Mexican and half Punjabi. Food looks great!

[@dipeshspatel]

I’ve been to this place a few times, happily trekking across town. Im so happy in uncles presence - he’s a gem of a man. Kind, hospitable, and able to make you enjoy food in a way only “made with love” does. I’m super picky about Indian food due to my origins, and this place is hands down my favourite in LA. Thank you, uncle 🙏🏽

[@TheRailJunction]

Oh we went here last year and now I am seeing the video! This was a real top restaurant. We went to a pseudo Indian restaurant (probably Bangladeshi or Pakistani) first and it smelled so bad. Then we went here and it was such a sigh of relief!

[@SaucyTelevision]

So stoked you enjoyed this last year! They've only been open 1.5 - 2 years, and to see the love and recognition they are getting through the comments means the world.

[@ls400mobbin2]

Finally some real punjabi food love the sikhs

[@SaucyTelevision]

Thanks for the love! Truly pure Sikh, Punjabi locals putting their love into their craft.

[@ssd13136]

Thanks!

[@SamirChopra.]

I’ve eaten here twice, the dal, the paneer and parathas OMG! It’s finger licking good food. And awesome service. Anytime im in the city I always make it a point to go eat here.

[@SaucyTelevision]

Finger lookin good is just right! Each item hits different for its own flavors. Thank you for the love!

[@kashyapatel]

Such humble people!! When I was in USC we used to go the Gurudwara on sundays.

[@SaucyTelevision]

From the Gurdwara to Restaurants, the love is all the same. Its beautiful to witness.

[@shasantv]

I'm watching this at middle of night and now I'm feeling hungry after watching yummy authentic punjabi food. Thank you for featuring this restaurant in LA.

[@SaucyTelevision]

Makes me so thrilled to see how much you enjoyed this, Shasan! Thanks the love, and shoutout to Roots for the beautiful food.

[@Cr74lyf371]

Live on the east coast I have been to this restaurant food ambience was great and best part was the service and anmol was amazing talking to all the customers loved his warmth and friendly nature

[@SaucyTelevision]

Anmol is the man! All pure love and joy from the Uncle and Roots. Thrilled to see you enjoy that atmosphere just as much.

[@amarjeetkaur4819]

Doesn't get any better than this .... love it

[@brandonperlow9091]

I used to go to all India cafe multiple times per week since I lived close by at the time. It was one of my favorite Indian restaurants, and I remember paramit working there as well as his son when he was a young one without a beard( he helped out quite a bit). I did go last year to roots for lunch with a friend in the area, and the food was excellent, especially the salmon. I was surprised to see the owners since I didn’t know this was their new place, as all India changed management years before they closed( and it showed in the food)

[@SaucyTelevision]

INCREDIBLE. This history, this story and origin story bringing an OG like yourself to their video is the beauty of KZbin. Thank you very much for sharing your experience. Thrilled to see you know the best of the best, especially that Salmon!!

[@sukhmindervirk]

can't wait to visit!

[@SpT141]

Thank you for sharing our roots as well.

[@SaucyTelevision]

It's an absolute pleasure. I feel lucky to have the chance to share their story.

[@jeremybaldic2047]

I will definitely try this restaurant when I go to LA this October!

[@SaucyTelevision]

You won't be disappointed!

[@thejessehsu]

That curry and chai has my name on it. Can’t wait to try-awesome video!

[@SaucyTelevision]

We'll set up a curry date in a hurry

[@noahlapuz3853]

They are truly so humble, so blessed. Thanks for the love!

[@DamonSlater]

Traditional Panjabi cuisine is hard to beat; from the butter naans, to butter chicken, to sarson da saag, chicken tikka, tandoori chicken, tandoori king prawns, Amritsari machi, Amritsari kulcha, daal makhni, channe bhature, sheekh kebab, mutton saag, mutton karahi, to the deserts like gulab jamun, rasomalai, jalebi, khoya di barfi, besen, to the drinks like mango lassi and masala chai. Natural ingredients, lots of desi ghee, lots of protein, proper organic dairy, organic wheats, plenty of vegetables, and a decent amount of carbs. Full of flavour and spice! For me, the absolute very best cuisine in the world.

[@Deira854]

Pakistani side is way better

[@DamonSlater]

@@Deira854 lol nah.

[@Deira854]

@@DamonSlater 100% it is. You haven't tried it. Im Canadian who has been to both countries. The meat items are epic on Pakistani side, they get their influence from their other neighbors Afghanistan and Iran

[@DamonSlater]

@@Deira854 nope. Are you making things up again? Why would you say I've never been to both countries lol. I'm Panjabi. Born and raised and living in the UK. I go to both sides regular. We have family in Lahore and in Indian Panjab. The food in Indian Panjab is marginlly better. Good on Pakistan side is more simple and less spiced. All the dishes I mentioned are better in Indian Panjab. The best thing about Pakistan Panjab is that you can get beef. So slow cooked beef is really good, biryani's, niharis, haleem, etc. But the diesh I mentioned, yeah, no competition, India wins hands down, no questions asked.

[@Deira854]

@@DamonSlater Both White people prefer Pakistani food. Look at the bloggers who go there

[@dariusmotmavilin3666]

I should come here … bit of a ride from Santa Monica though

[@SaucyTelevision]

Worth every mile, and I promise you the Chai alone will make you coming back.

[@amandeepj33]

Gotta make a trip to LA to visit this gem

[@SaucyTelevision]

Worth it JUST on it's own! Thank you for the love!

I love how you are documenting restaurant. Pls stick to it. Don't turn it into a review show. KZbin has lot of them.

I haven’t found a good Punjabi restaurant in LA, but for an authentic Hyderabad restaurant please try “ CHARMINAR INDIAN RESTAURANT & CATERING”. It is in Laguna Niguel..

[@SaucyTelevision]

This is one of the best Punjabi-American spots in LA, but would love to try Charminar! If you have a contact, we can set something up.

[@kamaljitwadhawan191]

Mouthwatering food

[@SaucyTelevision]

Only the best of the best flavors 🙌🏽

Chalupa is trini doubles

[@SaucyTelevision]

That's a great point, couldn't agree more!

[@RazaAli-l4z]

My homeland food but unfortunately too much butter and cheese.. growing as child in 70es in Punjabi household cheese was not there of course butter always in every household…

[@SyedHamadai]

All ways appreciated a good Punjabi food at the end of the Vegas trip… money is usually gone at the end …??? May be wrong though.

[@mohankrishna1443]

[@SaucyTelevision]

Punjabi-American it is!

[@Crush-qp5pm]

La had the worst indian food ever

[@SaucyTelevision]

Sorry you felt that, but I think this spot can change your experience.

[@remasteredambience]

Looks like generic Indian food...what's distinctly Punjabi about this? And I'm pretty sure the rice pancakes are from the southern part of India.

[@minanu12]

And chaat is not Punjabi either. But anyways , happy to see entrepreneurs succeed

[@malikahmad8170]

You criticize too much for no reasons-you can always go back to Idli and whatever goes with it. Indian restaurants are only known for Punjabi type food. You guys can go back to your basic daal-roti.

[@cannibalronny7314]

@@malikahmad8170Eat some pork and chill brother,Bacon is good for people like you,That liquid bacon fat will seep in u r brain and make u smarter,Chill bro

[@SaucyTelevision]

It's Punjabi-American cuisine, but also paying homage to other Indian cultures with Dosas, Chaat, and other layers of what they grew up with Los Angeles. This won't a Punjabi Dhaba, but it will be authentic and genuine with their take on their culture. That's enough for me.

[@americaksushantkinazarse5747]

This is definitely not the most authentic Punjabi restaurant in LA

[@MandipBhachoo]

We loved it. Where do you go?

[@americaksushantkinazarse5747]

@@MandipBhachoo sardarji was smelling like sweat in this restaurant, and the food was pathetic. I will also recommend charminar restaurant in Laguna Niguel, though it is not a Punjabi restaurant, but it is an authentic Hyderabad restaurant..

[@VonNeumann-t3z]

I'm a Punjabi (spent most of my life in India) and just by seeing that he used yellow onions and not red onions in the curry base, that was enough for me to know that the food in this restaurant is crap and definitely not authentic. I live in Chicago and even here the Indian restaurants sell overpriced, garbage, and definitely not authentic food.

[@americaksushantkinazarse5747]

@@VonNeumann-t3z try Himalayan restaurant in Laguna Niguel, California, and Charminar in Laguna Niguel as well, they are not Punjabi restaurants, but you will get real authentic Indian food

If you are able to make the meat Halal, then your business will grow even more. Food looks amazing! ❤

[@tijrug123]

Nah, not everything needs to be Halal. Sorry. No disrespect intended.

[@bfuetwitch3720]

@@tijrug123 No one ever said everything has to be halal lol, just saying the LA county has a crazy Muslim population as well , by adding halal as an option, you’ll draw crazy more customers, but it’s ultimately the owners decision. Just a piece of advice .😊

[@sam25332]

Sikhs do not condone halal. Sikhs are 100% Jhatka Postive.

[@gaganajeetsingh6223]

[@Haveagodday-w8m]

Well if the dish isn't pork, it's halal.Its simple

[@navdhillon7912]

authentic?

[@SaucyTelevision]

Very much so. But authentic to them. Authentic to Punjabi-American culture, and growing up in Los Angeles, taking that influence for dishes, while keeping the flavors pure.
