“We stopped in for a quick snack while running around Indy. I had been here previously for a Yelp Elite event and wanted to stop by. I ordered the Samosa Chaat and my love ordered the Chicken Masala Wrap. For being made from scratch food it came out pretty darn quickly. We were in and out in about 10 minutes. Both dishes were very flavorful and I would say order two if you are super hungry. Thanks for a quick bite and wonderful flavor!“

We ordered a lot of food to share. Portions were generous and delicious. We ordered butter chicken, chicken tikka masala, palak paneer and chicken biryani. A lot traditional favorites. They offered three spice levels - we settled on medium for everything. The biryani was the spiciest of all our dishes. Also, the garlic naan was fresh and soft.The whole experience was fantastic. And we hope to return in the future.“

“We have made a weekly visit to Incredible India for sometime now. There are many Indian dining experiences in the area, however no one competes with Incredible India. Walking in the door you are greeted with the feel of Imperial India. Always welcomed by friendly staff. We have yet eaten off the menu as the lunch buffet has so many tasty offerings which change often. On the drive over I was thinking I might have to order from the menu so I could get some Samosa and some Saag. To my delight it was Sunday and the special weekend buffet was being served, offering both items. As you enter the dining room a fresh appetizer bar greets you. Today we enjoyed Samosa Chat (excellent). Everything on the buffet line was fresh and warm. Each item had unique seasoning and flavor, which in my opinion differentiates Incredible India from other similar establishments. My wife and I like to enjoy some milk sweets and hot Chai after a nice Indian meal and they are both available as part of the buffet.Service is great, the environment and atmosphere transport you to India for this culinary experience and the food will keep us coming back for more and more. I highly recommend this restaurant.“

“Can I just say WOW?!? I just had one of the best Indian meals of my lifetime. I've eaten at more Indian restaurants than I can reasonably count, and this is by far some of the best food I've had in Indianapolis. We started with the vegetable samosas - these were the best tasting spicy potato samosas I've ever eaten! The spice was perfect. My husband ordered the Lamb Tikka Masala and I ordered the House Special Chicken curry. The Tikka Masala was unlike any I've ever tried. It wasn't run-of-the mill red-dyed creamy sauce. It was super rich and a deep golden color. We spoke to our waiter, Kish, about how much better it was than we could have expected and he indicated it was cooked with nuts to give it a richer flavor. So rich, tasty and flavorful. My husband couldn't leave even the last couple ounces of sauce, and took it home to finish with his naan later. My Chicken Curry was unlike any curry I've tasted before. Strong flavors of cardamom and curry leaves in a rich gravy with a super generous helping of chicken. Both meats were cooked to perfection and very tender. The restaurant interior was lovely and very clean. The service was attentive and very friendly. We just happened to be on the west side of town and only just happened to stop in for dinner. Now I can't wait to make my way back there. I regret not taking pictures, so will just have to do that when I return.“

“Oct 24th 2022 -Food was delicious, we ordered it to go. Every dish was cooked perfectly and to our preference. The bad reviews are probably from people who have ulterior motives and/or competition?Update: Nov 11th 2023We stopped by on Nov. 11th 2023 and bought some takeout meals. The samosas and vegetable pakoras appetizers were very greasy and soaked in oil. They tasted old and were probably fried again for our orders. However, all our entrees were cooked to perfection. Everything was delicious and they were very generous with the rice and naan breads!Vegetarian options: The channa masala dish was yummy!“

“I needed some comfort food tonight, and this seemed like the perfect solution! (Take out). I kept it simple with the butter chicken, rice, garlic naan, and paneer pakora, and everything was excellent. The butter chicken had a very large portion that will feed me for at least three meals, and the rice was sticky and well seasoned. I wouldn't say that the paneer pakora held up to the trauma of door dash particularly well, but it was still really good despite its lack of crispiness. And who doesn't love some soft garlic naan? I would definitely like to try this place in person, I know they have a buffet. It was a tiny bit pricey, but the portion size seems to offset that appropriately. If you're looking for good Indian food on the south side, this is a really solid option.“

My favorites are paneer tikka masala, aloo tiki chaat, mango lassi.The only reason I would take off a half star is because it’s a bit shabby. Dining room lighting is akin to a hospital, seats are ripped/coming apart, the owning family’s small children have KidsTv loudly on, bathrooms are absolutely freezing, and the parking lot is incredibly shambly. This is not somewhere you should take visiting guests, business associates, or important family. Save it for a casual dinner or takeout!“

“It is the buffet that operates 7 days a week. Just a warning: the place is very narrow and has regular booths on the wall and on the opposite side 5 tables for 2 people. then with tables of the same size in the middle you may have a large number of people sitting at those tables but it will be problematic and may cause problems of people hanging around while others are eating and if you are a huge person it will be uncomfortable. That being said, a great place to eat and enjoy the food. If you are with someone who complains and is a picky eater, wait and come alone or with others who like or love Indian cuisine.“
