“I went on a date to Tlaolli a few months ago and had a great experience. Came back this week for lunch and tried the vegan birria tacos - wow! I couldn't believe the cheese was vegan. The crunch was exactly right and the sauce was so good. The consistency of the jackfruit was spot on and the whole meal was wonderful.“
“The night before my brother's wedding, my Indian family, and the bride's Bangladeshi family came into Indianapolis at various times, with varying dietary preferences, and we were all very hungry. Seeing Ethiopian close to the airport, I called the restaurant and asked if 4 to 11 people (I know, quite a spread in the numbers) could be accommodated in less than an hour. Thankfully they said yes.When we arrived, with 8 people, despite being kind of in the middle of a dead zone, the restaurant itself was an oasis: the decor was homey, eclectic, and friendly, and immediately we were greeted by the very warm and charming server, Sabrina. She helped us decide on what to order and was such a delight to deal with in every way. She even kept it light, funny, and good humored even when my mom and aunt kept commenting on her beauty, while I felt a little anxious about it!We ordered lots of sambussa, of practically every kind, a vegetarian platter, a chicken platter, and tea service. I live in New York City, where, we believe, we have some of the best, if not the best, of every type of imaginable cuisine. Yet the Ethiopian food here was tastier than any of my favorite spots in NYC. We all ate so much, everyone remarking on how they ate way more than they realized they were hungry for.Meanwhile, Sabrina, our server, was attentive and generous with her time, and even brought us some honey wine to try, to complement our special wines we had brought for the wedding as well. ($20 corkage fee here, which is reasonable). The tea service at the end was elegant and tasty, and we asked for milk with ours because, hey, that's what Indians/Bangladeshis do, and our server was very happy to oblige.Even with eating so much, we still had delicious leftovers to take with us as well which Sabrina packed for us with extra bread (injera). She even gave us a tour of the fun bar in the back which will open soon as well. While the food and atmosphere were 10/10, somehow our server made the experience exponentially better. I generally don't look forward to coming back to Indiana, but this place alone has helped tip the scales back in my home state's favor. We also met the owner and head chef who deserves tremendous praise in every aspect for the 10+ years he's been operating.I can't imagine another dining experience that could so well keep us hyped for the next day, satiate us and relax us after our travels, and offer something for everyone to love, and then some! Now I get to be that annoying person in NYC who will tell people when Ethiopian cuisine comes up, "Oh, you like _______? Yeah, it's pretty good, but the best I've had is actually kinda in the middle of nowhere in Indiana!"Thank you to Major, the owner, and Sabrina for a truly spectacular night, and meal! I will (hopefully) be back soon!“
“First time in Indianapolis after experiencing the Eclipse and I cannot say anything else but great words from this place! Staff were super friendly and accommodating from beginning to end! Food was delicious and came out lightning fast even though the place was full. I wish many restaurants would treat customers the way this restaurant treats its costumers. Amazing!“
“The best place that I have found for Vegans and Vegetarians. The food is always beyond five stars and the service is always beyond five stars!If you want to save a little bit of money, you can pay in cash and it’s a little bit cheaper.Please do not leave an owner response or any response. I have a severe condition and your response will put me into the hospital. Thank you.“
“Sunday night is our favorite day to enjoy a quiet dinner at The Meridian. Although we live in the neighborhood, we save this special place for special occasions. It never disappoints. My favorites are the smoked corn purée soup, and the roasted duck. When I want a treat, I order the fried oysters, which are tender and juicy. My wife favors the steak, a prime selection from nearby Kincaid's Meat Market. Bread pudding is a great dessert if you save room for it.“
“1. Highlight is the variant menu ? There are chats, thalis and bakery items available. So many options to chose from2. I m particularly not a fan of anything Made of Chole in this place, but dry ones like vada pav, dhokla, samosa, sandwich, etc are good3. Sweets are a disappointment for me but many May like them4. Another not so good thing is the slow service and not so great responding staff5. It definitely is kid friendly but it can get congested during peak hoursVegetarian options: It’s all vegetarian so, one can peacefully go order and try the number of options available“
“Went there this morning desperate because pep boys was trying to charge me 450 to change brakes and rotors. They only charged me 80 plus they took me to get the parts needed. The most honest and fair mechanic shop ever. Did I mention it was fast? In and out in less than an hour..“
“YUM! I did the harvest bowl plus pesto for lunch and it was delicious and filling. The sweet potatoes in the bowl are so good and all the ingredients tasted fresh! The staff was super friendly and the restaurant is ver clean with lots of natural light.“
“Consistently great service, delicious food, and a very cool atmosphere. Allowed me to have a quick bite yesterday as needed but was also very welcome to taking my time when I wanted to relax. Excited to eat here again next time I'm in town!“
