Haldi Root Restaurant & Bar has become not only a culinary destination but a buzzing, social hub of the San Fernando Valley. Under the helm of Executive Chef Sanjay Kumar, guests are treated to both traditional Indian cuisine like Garlic Chicken and Lamb Chops Kandahar and Italian classics like Lasagna and Chicken Parmigiana that incorporate Chef Kumar’s European sensibilities and training.

Modern Indian Cuisine
By incorporating the authentic spices and ingredients of Indian cuisine and making use of French and Italian techniques he learned while working in Austria and Germany restaurants and hotels, Kumar has brought his two worlds together at Haldi Root. “We wanted to create a restaurant with contemporary Indian cuisine that drew on my background as a European trained and educated chef,” Chef Kumar said. There are two distinct menus for your delight – Indian & Italian, each having influences of the other. The staff says about 80% of their guests order Indian and 20% order Italian. No matter what you are craving – East or West cuisine or both – Haldi Root has it.
