I love this restaurant—it’s the best in Bloomington! If someone wants to experience authentic Indian food and flavors, India Garden is the place to go. I can’t wait to visit again!
October 2024
Great experience! They have really fixed so many of the issues they had when I last came here a few years ago. The food on the buffet was amazing, and the menu had so many great options including fresh naan and bhaturas. For $9.99, the buffet was an amazing deal and included Chai as well.
The tandoori chicken could use a different recipe as the seasoning was really lacking, and the Kheer had large pieces of rice, which is okay but when ground, it makes the Kheer magnitudes...
March 2024
We tried the buffet option. If we compare the buffet price $9.99/per person and the food options, it was really good.

Vegetarian options: Vegetarian food is marked so not difficult to miss.
