Indian & American Restaurant

Doesn't look there is any restaurant part to this anymore. I could only find carry out inside a small Indian convenience store and a couple of uncomfortable chairs to sit while you wait. I ordered a butter chicken and some garlic naan. It was decent but nothing to write home about. It's not exactly cheap and you pay extra for rice. With so many great Indian restaurants in town, I doubt that I will make a special trip here.

Let me start off with the great customer service from the hard working employees, they have a dine in place inside this restaurant as well, I ordered the curry shrimp with rice and it was definitely great plus they give you enough rice definitely more than I was expecting but that's fine, I definitely have to come back and try a few more menu items next time I'm in the area.

Just ordered food from here, food was delicious. I'm pretty upset because I should have just ordered from Uber eats instead of calling in and ordering. Just feels like I got ripped off.

We ordered on UberEats and realized after delivery that this is not the name of the restaurant (it goes by Biryani Bistro). And it's inside the gas station. We were a bit apprehensive because it was $70 for three meals, they didn't include our rice, and it didn't look like the photos. The goat biryani wasn't very good, and we tossed the majority of it. Which was a real bummer considering the restaurant is NAMED for its biryani. The paneer mahkni was OK. the flavor of the sauce was good, but the paneer was incredibly chewy. The butter chicken was decent. The mango lassi was good though. Overall, we won't be ordering from here again and quite disappointed that we spent what we did for mediocre food.

This is one of the more unique restaurant in Indianapolis. It previously was (I've heard) a regular truck stop diner but now is owned by an Indian family. Therefore, they serve traditional trucker diner food (mashed potatoes, eggs, etc) and AMAZING INDIAN FOOD. Seriously, it's really good. My vegetarian dining partner says their dal mahkni (sp?) is the best. I LOVE their chicken tikka. Their roti is very buttery and delicious. We've liked everything we've had so far. Location is right off of 465 and Harding - so great if you're getting off the highway. It's hidden a bit from the road, but follow GPS and it should work out. Be careful making a left-hand turn from leaving the diner and back onto the road - it can be really busy. The restaurant looks like your average greasy spoon diner. Service is pretty good -I see them having a lot of convos with the truckers who come in to dine alone, so I think that's nice. They also serve a lot of alcohol, too. Lol which makes me nervous since so many truckers stop there. Lol hopefully there's no drinking and driving!

As of March 2022, this restaurant is takeout only, but I imagine seating will reopen soon. Everyone in my party of 10 loved their meal and said they'd return. I got Lamb Saag and a Mango Lassi which were delicious and fresh. The Lamb Saag had a very light amount of spice. If you're not too familiar with Indian food, you may have to google especially the veggie options before ordering. If you have sensitivity to flashing lights, beware that some light strips in this restaurant may irritate you. The biggest cons of this restaurant are the wait time and location. The posted signs say you may have to wait 45-60 minutes, but all entrees in my big party were out in about 30 minutes. If you're within a 30 minute drive, I would recommend calling in your order and then picking up to avoid wait time. The location is kind of difficult to find behind the vape shop, and some buildings nearby are run down. The inside of this restaurant and the parking lot seemed well-kept. If you pay with cash and your meal is over $20, you get a discount! The staff was friendly.

Order 2 aloo parathas, paneer tikka masala and dal. You get a choice of rice or 2 rotis with your order. We ordered 1 with 2 rotis and one with rice. They provide plentiful jeera rice. The rotis are big and will fill you up. This is a dive with some great food and excellent service. Dining area was closed for seating. We arrived around 1 and orders were coming in rapidly. The young lady said it would be about 20 mins. Order came out a bit quicker than expected. Again the phone was constantly ringing and people were picking up left and right. This place is near a truck stop, actually right across. Going back to our order, the taste was great, quantity was excellent, and we were full!Wish this place was closer to home we would be frequent customers!Give this place a shot if you are in the Indianapolis area.

Absolutely delicious. Some of the best Indian food I have ever had. I got the non vegetarian entree and was not disappointed.

The food was absolutely delicious!! Naan perfect, chicken tikka masala just right, like they knew which heat level i wanted. Rice to perfection. The place is definitely a hidden diamond. The park benches for seating actually gives the place a rustic almost authentic feel!! Worth the trek!!

Portions are very good and they give you plenty of rice. The food is very delicious and also very authentic. It takes 20 minutes for them to make your food and it's also a grab and go place.
