Los Angeles' South Asian community is connected more by culture than geographic proximity, and orbits around Venice Boulevard's grocery stores and restaurants.
A painting of Krishna decorates a wall at Samosa House in Los Angeles. The market and restaurant on Washington Boulevard is one of the oldest South Asian businesses in the Palms and Culver City area, opening as Bharat Bazaar in 1979.
For many South Asian immigrant families, this is home: mangos with fiber-free flesh, fist-sized eggplants with jagged stripes, basmati or jasmine rice by the pound, spices at a lower price point, flavorful sattvik meals made without garlic or onions or root vegetables. The South Asian presence in the neighborhood dates back to the 1970s, when immigrants began to build temples and mosques in the area. The loosening of immigration laws in 1965 brought thousands of South Asians to Los Angeles, and the population grew from just 23,000 in 1980 to 116,000 in 2017.
More South Asians live in Artesia and Woodland Hills, but for many immigrants, Venice Boulevard was their first stop.
