Awesome spot in SM! Ambiance and decor is warm, cozy and fun. Staff is super friendly and helpful, and service is excellent. We went for the chefs special which consists of a number of different dishes from the menu, covering most of the main ones. Items include the papaya salad, shrimps, dumplings, puff pastry, the king fish, short rib, and Bronzino. Overall, highly recommend this spot for sure.

We recently had the pleasure of dining at Cobi’s, and I can’t stop raving about the experience! The Indian fusion cuisine is an absolute delight, blending traditional flavors with creative twists that left my taste buds dancing.

Every dish we tried was phenomenal, but the buttery short ribs and the roti were a standout—bursting with flavor and beautifully presented. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, perfect for a memorable night out.

What truly set the experience apart was the impeccable service provided by Alberto. He was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we walked in. His recommendations were spot on and added so much to our dining experience.

Cobi’s is a must-visit for anyone who appreciates exceptional food and outstanding service.

This is a cute little place to try South Asian food in Santa Monica. we made a reservation beforehand. the restaurant kept checking in to see if we were going to be there on time. we appreciated the service that started even before we sat down to eat.

we arrived around 9pm for dinner. it was a little too dark for my eyes. but it’s very pretty, well decorated! my daughter and i liked all the flowers everywhere.

the food was good too! we ordered grilled prawns, crispy pork belly salad, mushrooms, butter chicken, and Thai tea pudding for dessert. all of them were really good. the pork belly and pudding especially surprised us!

we found a parking space nearby with no issues. highly recommend this place, for dates, families, or friends gatherings, etc. you can dress up but i feel like casual clothes will also be fine.

The best Thai/Malaysian/Indonesian we have had on the west side. Small cool building close to downtown. Highly recommended to get a reservation because it was full as soon as they opened at 5.  Must try the lemongrass pork dumplings appetizer! Curry was fantastic with real depth of flavor and correct mix of spicy/sweet/sour/umami you find in real SEA food.  We got the diablo chicken curry and peanut curry (vegan!).  The grilled chicken plate was fine but not worth $28, we would stick to the curries next time.

Sitting at the patio at the old wooden table with plates that my grandmas used to have made me miss them. Can’t believe we’re in LA. Must be back in Indonesia. Back in the 70s. The decor, different tables, different chairs, colourful mozaic lamps, the only missing are my Omas. We were greeted by handsome warm and professional greeter and server. Good start so far. Then the food started to come. And it’s an explosion of tastes. Didn’t expect that. The mushroom satay is a revelation,  the mistake mushroom, meaty, marinated in green sauce was succulent and unexpected, presented with 3 different dipping sauces: matah (raw chili sauce which usually is VERY spicy but this one fresh, stings but one could absolutely enjoy it, then 2 other peanut sauces). It’s an absolute marvel. Then the chicken satay was juicy and would hit you with tastes bringing you back home, peanuts, sweet soybean sauce, enough tanginess with hint of turmeric just perfect. The curry puffs are light and crunchy with samosa-tasting fillings. It’s a winner. The rendang wrap is all rendang, cooked to perfection, meat cooked long enough to allow the spices and coconut milk tenderise it yet balanced by the pickled cauliflower tucked into the wrap that reminds me of a flaky paratha. Genius. The dhal wrap was another dance in your mouth it feels like scooping your butter paratha into a rich bowl of yellow dhal. I’m transported back to Mumbai. Lastly we had the fried chicken which was juicy yet crunchy and full of flavour. What a home cooked meal a thousands of miles away from home. Made me really miss my Omas.
