Miserable communication — verified my order TWICE with the restaurant , and they still got it wrong. I only found out after driving 45 minutes and reaching home.
Shouldn’t have trusted them. Ruined experience and want my money back

Highly recommend. The food was fantastic, service was great and the atmosphere was cute and charming. I'm often skeptical of restaurants who offer a mix of different regional foods in one menu but they didn't really good job and making all the dishes work really well together. The devil chicken curry was really good and would definitely recommend if you like spicy food.

Really confused about the high ratings but I suspect it's a west LA thing. This was the worst service experience I've had in a long time.
Took a while to get someone talk to us. About 10 mins. Had to request water. We ordered food and drinks and the drinks never came..over an hour.
I had to send scotch eggs back twice. Chicken satay was just ok.
What a disappointing experience. I guess if all you care about is wallpaper this is a hit.

Best places we have been so far in LA! We ordered the butter chicken, jasmine rice, roti and the Nasi goreng with Pork Belly (highlight of mine!). The food was absolutely amazing. The service was incredible. Portion sizes were great and prices were fantastic!

We booked a 50+ person wedding rehearsal dinner at Cobi’s and had the BEST EXPERIENCE ever. First off, it was such a pleasure working with Tika, the event coordinator, and their general managers, Aaron and Jordan, who made the entire planning process and day-of run so smoothly. The food and service were beyond amazing. Months later, our guests are still raving about how good the food is, and 2 of our guests even talked about how good the short ribs were during their toast speeches. We can’t thank the team at Cobi’s enough for helping to kick off our wedding weekend in the most perfect way.
