Al-Rayan Restaurant

Hidden gem! Kofta kebab is excellent as is all the food. Friendly staff, cozy inside. I've been ordering take out here, but would love to dine in one day!

First time here. A little slow for food to arrive but I really think that was because everything is made to order. Server suggested we try the Fahsa which is like shredded lamb. Very tasty. Piping hot. Of course the hummus was next level and great with warm pita. Definitely will return.

Amazing Food i never tried this kitchen Before but i really love it service is great also! nice environment 5 star service

Great place for lamb and hummus and meat. The lamb is very tender. Whenever I am craving lamb, this is the place I go.

I found a new favorite middle eastern restaurant here. There is a lot of space in the dining area and a large menu featuring your favorite middle eastern cuisine. Service was very fast and the whole dinning room is very clean. I shared the huge variety plate of kabobs with my son as well as a plate of hummus and one of the largest pieces of pita bread. The shish kabob plate come with plenty of excellent rice and pickles and onions. The chicken and lamb were excellent and I still have two other kinds for leftovers as I could only eat half of my share of the plate. My son ate all of his share and loved it. They also provide a great soup with the dish as well. I highly recommend checking this restaurant out and is as good as eating directly in Istanbul without the plane ticket.

So I've been wanting to come here because it's one of the few places where my husband can get halal meat. We finally made it there last week, and we were not disappointed! We were there around three, and it was rather quiet. They have a lot of carryout orders though! Their falafel appetizer was awesome! We had like three left, but they didn't even make it home. We ate them in the car. so crunchy and fresh. Their pickles were good.... I know it's weird to comment on the pickles but I do know my husband hates pickles and he tore those up. They were good. I got the sandwich with the lamb meat and it was delicious. My husband, of course got the liver one (gross lol) and he loved that as well. Also, the woman who served us spoke Arabic, which made my husband very happy since he's still new in America from Morocco. Most of the places we have gone they don't speak Arabic, so we like that as well. There was a little area for prayer, I don't know if that was a worker who used it or if it was a customer but I thought I'd mention that. They have little private tables with curtains. I should've taken more pictures, but I'll be back and next time I'll take pictures!

Visiting Indianapolis for a day trip, we had not made any plans for dinner. Had heard about an Indian Restaurant that was the best in Indiana, and drove there first. It was actually closed for a week. With that out of the picture, just decided to drive down Lafayette Road, and found quite a few restaurants from around the world. At 38th street and Lafayette, we found Patelbrothers and a Halal Supermarket in a stripmall. Contained within the same mall was a Biryani Restaurant (closed in the mid afternoon) and we found Al-Rayan Restaurant. We walked in to a lovely atmosphere and 2 folks greeted us at the door. Loved the options for seating: booth, table, covered booths with a table, and covered booths with an option to sit on the floor. We choose a covered booth with a table. Our service was very prompt and kind. We had water. We ordered the hummus beiruti with oil, parsley and paprika, a falafel sandwich and shish kabab. Now on the menu, I'm vegetarian so I had some appetizer options, hummus, falafel, and tabbouleh. The hummus came out first. It was beautiful, along with a warm piece of lavaash. The hummus was delicious, the way it should be. It was light, airy, and so flavorful. Our entrees came out following that. The falafel sandwich came with fresh fries with a wonderful seasoning. The shish kabob was flavorful with a aromatic rice. There was Franks Red Hot Sauce on the table so I used that to have in addition with the falafel sandwich. The food was so flavorful. The wait staff was so kind. They came in and checked on us frequently to make sure we were doing ok. We even asked what the seasoning was on the fries, one of the staff actually brought us some to take home when we asked. Our service was prompt. The food was delicious. The space was so clean and well kept. It was so inviting. I've already snacked on the leftover hummus I brought home. Looks like we have more reasons to go back to Indianapolis, Al-Rayan is at the top of the list.

Went there on Wednesday with Mary Clark and the International Tour group. We go to a different international restaurant every two weeks. There was over 50 people that came this week. That tills you how good it was a lot of them had been there before. This was my first time at this restaurant and I will be back I got the falafel sandwich and hummus they were both really good. And the prices were great. They have a Lotta other entrées and sides you can get also. But everyone at our table loved their food. They were warned that there was going to be 50 of us but they handled it very well food came out quick and hot. The employees were very friendly.

Good food and service . Nice ambience and food is amazing . Their kababs and Mandi are the best

I heard about this restaurant on WRTV. A friend and I went this weekend and the food was fabulous! We had Hummus Beiruti, she had Chicken Shawarma, and I had Mendi Chicken and rice. The service was excellent as well.
