“BADMAASH is a Los Angeles–born lifestyle and hospitality brand that has been redefining modern Indian cuisine since 2013. Founded by brothers Nakul and Arjun Mahendro, the restaurant has earned local, national, and international acclaim for pushing the boundaries of the Indian dining experience. By blending traditional recipes with contemporary reinterpretations, BADMAASH pairs bold, vibrant flavors with a culture driven approach to service, design, and overall hospitality.”

Badmaash Venice has recently joined the family of restaurants along with the DTLA original and Fairfax Avenue. Venice is their first location designed by a prominent restaurant designer (Preen, Inc.)

“Beyond its restaurants, BADMAASH has expanded into retail and lifestyle, with its bottled butter chicken sauces available online and in select markets (Joan’s on Third), and its oatmilk chai carried at Erewhon. The brand has also collaborated with fashion and media platforms including Ksubi and Complex, further cementing its presence at the intersection of food, culture, and pop influence. Through each venture, BADMAASH continues to shape the conversation around modern Indian cuisine in America.”
