37 Best Indian Restaurants in Indianapolis

“We tried the 5 Star Indian restaurant for the first time for our new year outing tor lunch.
. We spent about $200.00 for lunch for four and also had few dishes prepared separately to take home. It was such a lovely experience and worthwhile to celebrate the beginning of our new year. All the dishes were aromatic and satisfying. Some of the dishes we tried were: Aloo samosas for appetizer, chicken curry, lamb saag. Punjabi chicken, and lamb chops to name some. All the dishes were mouthwatering except onion kulcha was not desirable. Our hostess Sukh was a pleasure to work with who checked consistently on us. The atmosphere was divine to linger in.
This Indian restaurant lives up to its name for food , service and true ambiance.
Ten stars to this Five Star Indian Cuisine¹!!!!!“

“The food is excellent, and the service very friendly and welcoming. Yummy comfort food on a cold dreary winter afternoon!“

“My first visit, but was very impressed with service, cleanliness, and especially the food. I lived in London for 11 years so got to eat plenty of good and authentic Indian food. The lamb karahi I had scored highly on both counts. I will be back - repeatedly - to try many of the other very tasty looking menu items. Best Indian I’ve found so far in Indy.“

“Amazing food I try today first time palak panner, aloo gajar sabji both amazing just one thing I didn’t like a cup of tea ☕️ it’s my favorite thing but I try tea that’s not good it look like it’s 2 or 3 hour old they make and keep on hot tharmos rest of food was amazing“

“The food is delicious. The service is wonderful. The atmosphere is fantastic. My family and I enjoyed the best Indian cuisine we have ever had at Punjabi Tadka. We will definitely be back and suggest everyone try it out.“

“Good food n Good quantity“

“We ate here last night and it was exceptional! We went with a native of India who has been eating here often because he loves the food. They have authentic and Americanized and American food options. There are MANY gluten-free options! In fact there are more Gluten-free options than most restaurants. We loved the mild and extra spicey options that we tried. The place was clean and nicely decorated. The staff was friendly. We really enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend and we will be back!“

“I ordered the butter chicken. After living in Boston last year I didn't think I could find good Indian food in Indiana. But this place has it! I got the butter chicken and garlic Naan and it was every bit of what I remember!! I will be back and I'd love to see this place grow! ❤️“

“Non veg items i ordered like chilli chicken momos (must have if you are visiting this place), chicken momos and chicken chowmein was great. Veg (kadai paneer) was not so great in taste. Overall restaurant is nice and peaceful with good service and non veg food.“

“Food was delicious and had great service“

“This was our first time visiting, we went for the Chana Masala (my fave) but we also tried the Non Vegetarian Thali and everything that came with it was so delicious. The lamb in the curry was so tender! We did the medium spice level and didn't find it very spicy, so we plan to increase our spice level next time, but this would be the perfect place for anyone that might be afraid to try something new because of the spiciness. Can't wait to come back!“

“Amazing place to grab food. Everything I have gotten from here tastes great and the people who run it are so nice and friendly. Just a note they are cash only. I didn't realize the first time but he insisted on getting me my food anyway and pay him back whenever I could. Definitely check it out.“

“My absolute favorite! Excellent staff, top quality food, and a lunch buffet from heaven!“

“I had a really enjoyable experience dining here. The food was incredibly flavorful and tasted very fresh. The service was warm and attentive from start to finish. The atmosphere was comfortable and relaxing which made the whole visit even better. I would happily come back again.“

“One of the most authentic and clean Indian food is served here. Love their indo Chinese which are not too much soy sauce. Great service too!“

“Food was absolutely phenomenal!! Definitely needed help working out the menu though. So much flavor and perfect spice level for someone like myself who enjoys spicy foods. My wife however can barely handle black pepper they had a dish that she enjoyed so dont let spiciness scare you away. Once again can not give the food a better review.“

“This is the best food on this side of town. The place is immaculately clean and the help is pleasant. The decor is warm and pretty. It's not real loud, either. I will be back.“

“We tried this restaurant for lunch today while waiting for an auto service. Since we had time to kill, we ate in the dining room. They do have a drive through window which I plan to use in the future.
Inside, they have a huge lighted menu posted offering both Indian, and Mexican cuisine. The photographs shown on this menu were a highly accurate representation of what we ordered. They do not sell fountain drinks, however, they have a cooler where they offer cold canned soda (Coke) as well as other options. I ordered a large steak burrito combo and he ordered Chicken Tikka. We were both extremely happy with our choices. The entrees tasted fantastic and were hot and fresh.
The pricing was incredibly reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. The dining room is modest and clean. Booths and tables available. They will bring your food out to you and accessibility was fantastic for both parking, and dining.
I have only one small suggestion as it isnt really a complaint or negative. Be prepared to wait for the food to be ready once you have ordered. Idk if they had drive through customers but, the two of us, and then another customer who came in after us waited longer than I would have estimated. Keep in mind, everything came out very hot and fresh, and we had time to kill so, we didn't mind at all! However, if you take medication for diabetes before you eat or, if you are on a time schedule for lunch or whatever, be sure to factor in a little extra prep time.
Thanks for the great food! We will definitely be back!

“I was so excited when I saw this place spring up a few months ago before they even opened. Finally got the chance to stop in today for dinner and had one of the best meals I've had in years. We ordered hungry and bought a ton of food because we were excited to try so many things. The panner pakora was make you dance in your seat good. And the Samosa dilli style was mouth watering. Samosas were still crispy even under all of that delicious sauce and veggies. Portions are generous and price is very fair. I spent about $40 and my husband and I Gorged our bellies and still brought home a feast. Sad we didn't save room for more deserts. We can't wait to come back and try more. This place is going to have such success and I'm glad I am here for it!“

“Love Tandoori Flame! Staff so friendly!! Food is fantastic!!!“

“Had such a great Halwa Poori experience at Kolachi Grill Bella Vista. Used to travel 45 minutes to go to Pennant hills one, having another one so close to home is a blessing. The poori’s were so fresh, halwa was so yummy while Channa’s were extremely delicious. The staff was so cordial, even served free chips for the kids. Must recommendations who love eating desi food or Halwa Poori over the weekends.“

“This kitchen has got not good cook for Biryani. Need to improve a lot for biryani. I don't know other cuisines of this restaurant.“

“Delicious food and lots of variety in buffet“

“The service was very welcoming and efficient. The staff were extremely courteous. They served us the best chicken tikka masala I’ve ever eaten. It had such a creamy, buttery flavor that I could eat every day. So glad we found such a nice place for dinner.“

“Noor is a treasure! The food is incredible and the owners are friendly. I have severe food intolerances (Dairy and soy) and I can eat almost everything on the menu. We spoke with the owner and she and her husband make everything fresh and healthy just like how they eat at home. They cook with olive oil (no soybean vegetable oil at all!) And sauces and marinades are all made from scratch. I love the kebabs and the baklava is soooo gooood. I'm so impressed with this place!“

“My family visits this place on a weekly basis. The quality and taste gets better by the day. It is really awesome. I specially love their mirchi bajji and daal kachori. All of the chaats are really amazing. The portion sizes are huge. We typically end up sharing it among our family members as we cannot finish it all in one sitting. Value for money. I am very particular about ingredients being fresh and they have met my "quality check" criteria. Thank you for reading my review on Hari food :-)“

“The food is very good. My only constructive criticism is they use Windex to clean the glass table tops. Which is not a good idea because ammonia is a very potent chemical with a strong aroma.
It is a little hard to find as it is behind other businesses.
Again the food is really good. Had the lunch buffet. Loved every dish I tried.“

“Amber Indian Restaurant is a great spot here in indy. The service is great, Ricky took great care of us, we thought he was the owner. The food was very delicious, even the buffet, and the variety was great. Will definitely be coming back here :)“

“Love it , very clean , nice employees!“

“We had an early dinner here. First time at the Spicy Donor, and don’t have much experience with Indian food, but really enjoyed the chicken Marsala. The food was really good but a little pricey. However, we had lots of leftovers, so we’ll get more meals from it. We’ll be back and bring others!“

“First time here and we will be back! Tried the tandoori vegetable momos and a veggie wrap with some iced chai. It was so very delicious!!! The staff greeted us with smiles which made us feel comfortable since it was a totally new experience. Very glad to spend our money here.“

“Seriously, this is GOOD. We had the flavorful butter chicken and palak paneer, and some of the best garlic naan. Dine-in for the full experience, Mr. Singh is so kind and generous and will keep you well fed! 💗 The gas station ambience just adds to the delight of this clean and delicious spot.“

“My first time trying it and I like it.. I’d return wasn’t too spicy very flavorable.. The garlic Naan was fire. I followed the comments just in case it was too hot.

Went back and ordered again they don’t miss…They got some like grilled kool aid chicken that bihh fiieee“

“I Came this afternoon.The Vibe of restaurant was great, the guy ‘Ravi’ welcomed me and my parents very happily and with a cute smile. Then we ordered alot of food, it was all worth the money. Ravi had a very funny and friendly conversation with my dad and mom. At the end , food was great and little tangy as well, Which i liked the most honestly The service was very great and gentle. Loved the restaurant, will come very soon with my family and freinds next time.“
