Are you looking to satiate several cravings in one go? Do you crave African food with a hint of Latin flair? Or perhaps Indian spices on a Neapolitan Italian pizza? If yes, fusion cuisine is for you. Fusion cuisine is a delectable mix of flavors, techniques, and ingredients. We have curated a guide to help you find the finest fusion cuisine restaurants in West L.A. ​​From critically acclaimed eateries to relaxed bistros serving inventive dishes, here are the best fusion cuisine restaurants in West Los Angeles.

Roots Indian Bistro

Located on trendy Melrose Avenue, Roots Indian Bistro is an inviting Indian-fusion cuisine restaurant. Founded by Paramjit Singh and his son, Anmoldeep Khinda, this spot is not your typical Indian eatery. In addition to authentic Indian dishes such as Butter Chicken, Chicken Tikka Masala, Saag Paneer, and Tandoori delights, the restaurant’s expert culinary team crafts fusion cuisine dishes. Highlights include Butter Chicken Wings, which are chicken wings glazed with classic butter chicken sauce, Korma Alfredo with spiced onion puree, house marinated lamb chunks, cashew cream, oregano, and black pepper served in fettuccine pasta and topped with parmesan, Pork Vindaloo Dumplings with ginger, green onion, pork, zesty paprika curry, and chilis, and Halwa Cookie Sando with sweet carrots, cardamom, raisins, vanilla ice cream, and pistachio crumbs. At Roots Indian Bistro, I ordered the Paneer Masala Fries ($16.95), Mac & Cheese Pakoras ($14.50), and the Vindaloo Dumplings ($19.95). I was very impressed by these flavorful dishes that hit the spot. 

Two Hommés

​​Inglewood’s Afro-Latin fusion eatery Two Hommés is well-known for its thoughtful hospitality and mouthwatering food offerings. The restaurant’s ambiance is casual yet lively. Established by ​​lifelong friends Chef Mando (Yaw Marcus Yaw Johnson) and Chef AB (Abdoulaye Balde), the restaurant marries authentic West African flavors with fresh Californian ingredients. The result is an innovative and scrumptious food menu. Two Hommés’ signature dishes include Passion Fruit Ceviche, Honey Berbere Chicken Bites, Mahi Mahi Tostada, Jerk Chicken Tacos, Jollof Rice, Garlic Noodle Bowl, Plantain Empanadas, Seafood Gumbo and Oxtail Stew. Make your way to this restaurant if you’re looking for comfort food that packs a punch! 

Love Amaro Pizzeria

Situated on Ocean Front Walk in Venice Beach, Love Amaro Pizzeria serves Neapolitan-style vegan pizzas alongside other vegan options such as baked pasta bowls, fries, bread knots, and desserts. This wildly popular eatery is a walk-up establishment with limited outdoor seating. Their specialty fusion pizzas are crowd-favorites. I tried the Tikka Masala Pizza with Almond Ricotta Pizza ($9 for a 10-inch slice) and the Korean BBQ Italian Kiss Pizza ($9 for a 10-inch slice). These pizzas were bursting with texture and were delightfully creative. I loved the pizzas and couldn’t tell that they were vegan. They are on par, if not better, than any good Neapolitan-style pizzas in Los Angeles. I suggest grabbing a few slices and having a picnic on the beach! 

Piccalilli L.A.

This charming California-Asian fusion eatery is located in Downtown Culver City. It boasts indoor and outdoor seating and aesthetically pleasing, tropical-inspired interiors. The chefs at Piccalilli L.A. blend California and South Atlantic cooking techniques with bold Southeast Asian flavors. Founded by Macks Collins and Bryan Kidwell, the restaurant’s menu comprises dishes such as Korean Brussels sprouts, Tokyo Station Ceaser Salad, Sweet & Tangy Chicken Katsu, Nam Prik Wings, and Yaki Udon. I visited Piccalilli L.A. during their Happy Hour and ordered the Brussels Sprouts ($8), Szechuan Cucumber Salad ($10), and Nam Prik Wings ($11). I thought the food was delicious but a tad too spicy for my liking. However, I would go back to Piccalilli and try the other dishes on their extensive menu. Check out Piccalilli L.A. if you’re a fan of spicy food!

Badmaash, Fairfax

Badmaash, which you may remember from my previous story on West Los Angeles’ best Sunday brunches, offers lip-smacking Indian-fusion cuisine in a vibrant setting. Their fusion dishes pay homage to the owner’s Indian-Canadian background. The standout fusion cuisine dishes include Chicken Tikka Poutine, Chana Masala Poutine, Devi’s Pink Lentil Soup, Slow Cooked Beef Short Rib, Fried Butter Chicken Sammich, and Chocolate Chai Pot Du Creme. It’s also great that they offer several vegetarian and gluten-free options alongside their meat offering, ensuring there’s something for everyone. I recommend visiting Badmaash with a large group so that you can order a bunch of small plates and share!
