Was actually heading to a late lunch elsewhere when we noticed the "Indian food" sign and decided to stop in. This is in the location that was previously donuts and dragons. The inside is bright and spacious. You order at the counter and then they bring the food to your table. It was fairly busy when we were there, at least a couple dozen people, couples and families, lots of kids, too. (This was about 2:40 pm on a Saturday.) All the food I could see on the tables looked so good.So the one downside that prevents me from giving 5 stars is that the menu is the names of dishes, but no descriptions or photos. So while I've had Indian food before, I had to ask a ton of questions since I didnt know what the food was. I'm sure I still don't understand all the offerings they have. So we kind of ordered what was sounded familiar: hubs got the chicken tikka masala and I got the palak (spinach) chicken curry, and a garlic naan.Food took a little while and hubs' came first, mine was about 5 min later, which was a little awkward. Food is served in plastic containers (think Chinese soup), and you get plates from the side. So that also was a little meh, but then again, it was a lot of food, so I already had my to go containers! Flavor-wise, both were served hot, smelled great, had huge chunks of chicken in them, amd were delicious. We both ordered medium spice. My spinach was less spicy, so i might kick it up a bit next time. Again, the flavors in each were so good. In mine I had some little spice pods that had such aroma and flavor, almost a sweetness. I asked ... it was cardamon. So I learned that as wel, since I did not know how to identify that spice. I would definitely eat here again. #yum #ReviewsByRL

My new favorite place for Indian street food. Gobi 65 was perfect with the crisp and the flavor. One of the best I've had. Mysore masala dosa was spicy, as expected. Good texture and lots of potato filling inside. Vada pav was spicy and flavor was spot on. Didn't feel too heavy. Sambar idli was good too. I like that they pack the idli separate from the sambar for takeout. The sambar was not too watery and had a good amount of lentils and veggies in it. Employees friendly and food came out quick. The dining area is big with a lot of tables and chairs for groups of all sizes.

Yummy Indian street food with a fun vibe! I love the murals and the music that make the atmosphere really festive. The service was quick and the food was great. We started with the pani puri which tasted amazing, but I wish there was more puri pieces because there was a lot of stuffing left over. The Bombay sandwich was also really good and the butter paneer with garlic naan was perfectly flavorful and spicy!

We went back to Chowrastha the 2nd time after 2 months to celebrate a birthday dinner. Having Indian roots, my friends and family appreciate a good Indian dinner with a nice family vibe. Chowrastha ticks all the boxes l!We tried Samosa - fried veggie pastry Indian spice chicken appetizers Bhelpuri - savory snack with puffed riceChicken Mandi - Arabic flavored riceAll the dishes were very spicy (please SPECIFY for less spice - they do accommodate)Our bill came up to $95.Note : I kicked off a star for Facebook showing an offer of buy 1 Mandi and get 1 Mandi free on Tuesday but the store said it was a mistake and did not honor our request. I get mistakes happen but when a large group shows up, you don't just keep repeating it was a mistake.

Came here for the first time and was really impressed! The restaurant itself was very spacious and plenty of room for our large party. The menu was huge with an almost overwhelming variety of Indian dishes. Some of the dishes are available in the buffet and some of the foods were needed to order. With such a variety of foods, the staff there was extremely helpful to narrow down what we should eat. I'd recommend the chicken tandoori!

Another Indian food place in Indy ! Lots of options on the menu from Chaat to Entrees and desserts ! The Mysore Masala Dosa was our favorite . They have decent vada pav and pani puri as well . I'd like to check out this place again and t try other items in the menu but happy to see that Indian restaurants are booming in Indianapolis .

Excellent food. I tend to not like Indian restaurants because I get good food at home so I was pleasantly surprised when I tried the food here.I highly recommend it to friends who have never had Indian food before.

Great breakfast buffet. Unsure of when all it's available, but definitely before 10am on Saturday. They ave over 100 reviews on Google and 4.5 stars.

Chowrastha chicken fry, chow min and specially the irani chai will make you come back. Clean and friendly service. Only downside i found is they recently started serving in take-out bowl only in the restaurant which makes it a little inconvenient to serve out from that.

Hi We were a party of three and ordered three different meals at noon. First, dish arrived within 10 minutes which was nice. however, the second dish did not come with the first dish. The second dish came 15 minutes later. The third came 10 minutes after that. This meant that we were not able to eat at the same time. Although each of the dishes were very good. All dishes should come out at the same time. We wil be back but we will request management to bring dishes out mor quickly.
