Came in around opening time on a Thursday evening, was promptly seated and taken care of. The menu was calling out to me!! Lots of great appetizers and vegetarian options. One of the workers told me the cocktails are well known so I grabbed one of the Madras Nojitos. It was like a guava mojito 10/10 recommend. The food was fresh and hot. They gave me some traditional papadum with this brown(imli/tamarind) dressing right after I was seated! Super good. The table & overall service was excellent. I'll be back to try more of their food. Also they have a dessert menu which looks quite enticing(but I didn't know when I was there so I didn't actually try anything) but at the end when my server brought me the check they gave me a cardamom butter biscuit which was baked to perfection. Also they have complimentary valet which was cool.

Food portion is okay but it is in expensive side. Food quality, taste and hygiene gets a thumbs up. Not authentic Indian but Indian Menu customized for west.

Great experience. We went on a Wednesday evening, and there was plenty of complimentary valet parking. We were greeted by friendly, smiling staff. The service was excellent. Their drink menu offers a variety of really creative and delicious cocktails. In addition to traditional Indian/Punjabi items, they have a nice modern American twist to some classic favorites. The dishes we got were smaller than other Indian restaurants, so I wouldn't recommend sharing dishes unless you just want to try a bite. We left satisfied and comfortably satiated! Overall great ambience and dining experience!

Quick review of the new-ish Sunday lunch buffet: yes it's good, definitely worth a try. It's mostly North Indian staples along with some items from their Silk Road-influenced menu, like chicken sekuwa, and a salad bar. Each table gets their own naan and pieces of a very delicious leavened fried bread which I can't name (bhatura?? please correct me..). There were a few items that tasted like they were sitting out too long, maybe because there weren't many diners, but most of the food was fresh and delicious. Special callouts to their samosas, pulao rice, and kheer for me. $18 for the Sunday lunch buffet, which comes with hot bread and surprisingly attentive service. Side note: there are no tacos here, but you _could_ make your own with the naan I suppose.

Recently went here on a Thursday night. A bit quieter than I expected, and have no clue why - excellent food, even for a quiet night, good service, and portion sizes are great for the price. Recommend anything off their "Curry Pot" menu, especially the veg. korma and the CTM. Will go back!

Great atmosphere, service delightful... really... food was complex and tasty as one would expect, but very careful and original preparations. Had a great meal there.

They need a new marketing person. They emailed 431 previous customers WITHOUT BCC. Now 431 people will have their email addresses susceptible to SPAM and PHISHING

I finally had the chance to stop by at Indika and it was an amazing experience. Our server Jason was very attentive and made sure our food and drinks were top notch. The whole table order the Mango Lassi which was very delicious! We started with our appetizers which consisted of the sweet potato samosa chaat and chicken momo, which were both filled with so many flavors. The tamarind chutney was definitely some of the best chutney I've had, it made the whole dish come together. As well as the dumplings the chicken was very tender making the dumplings very flavorful. Then for the main entree I had order the grilled lamp chops and I have to say those were the best lamb chops I've ever had. If anyone decided to try Indika the lamb chops should be the first thing to try. They also have them on the appetizer menu which make it convenient for those who want a smaller portion but still want to try. Overall, my experience at Indika was very delightful, from the service to the food. I hope that everyone gives Indika a try!

Before eating here I was super confused about the new ownership and menu. I'm here to clear it all up. Location: location is the same, nothing has really changed. There is no longer a valet service, just a self parking lot. The restaurant was COMPLETELY dead. Aside from our table, there was two other tables dining. Made the place feel so empty/awkward. They had no background music playing till the end either so I could hear everyones conversions. Service: this is where I think the new management could really improve. The hostess was also our waiter. We had a second waiter/bus boy as well who we ended up doing most of our ordering from. Our waitress wouLd disappear or be at the front, hard to get her attention. We had a party of 5, gratuity was automatically added. Food: The food was good but the menu has definitely changed. It was a standard Indian restaurant menu and not like the fun items that the old management had. I really wanted to try the saffron scallops but they are no longer on the menu. I ordered the tikka masala and was happy to see it came with rice, naan and riata. Though at $18 a plate, it better come with those things! The do give you cucumber eggplant starter and shortbread cookies for dessert for free, which is cool. Cookies were yummy.

I went to Indika for the first time not knowing what to except but WOW... every item we received was exceptional! The flavors were to die for in every meal especially the lamb chops and the dumplings. I also loved the atmosphere of the restaurant which has beautiful patio seating with plants and lights that made the experience even better! I definitely recommend giving Indika a chance since it is a whole package which lets be real, can be hard to find these days.

I hadn't been in years and had heard good things about Indika after recent changes. It did not disappoint! We came on a Friday evening and were seated immediately. All of us were vegetarian so this will focus on veg friendly items. We shared the vegetarian feast (definitely recommend), an app (pani puri), and the stuffed eggplant dish. So we personally didn't like either of their vegetarian specialties (the stuffed eggplant or cauliflower kofta), but every other item was delicious. My favorites were the saag paneer, daal makhani, and pani puri. The naan was good as well along with the complimentary cardamom cookies which came out warm. The service was great and attentive. I will say it was a bit empty for a Friday night, and closes on the earlier side (9:30).

Recently dined here and the experience was excellent. The food, while not necessarily traditional Indian, is created with thoughtful & wonderful embellishments on the traditional. I have been eating Indian food for 40+ years, from my mother-in-law’s, to some of the best-rated restaurants in the US, to my travels in India. Indika’s is on par with some of the best! We look forward to dining here again. Highly recommend!
