Indra Restaurant

I used to love this place, we've been coming here for the last 40 plus years frequently. I hate to see an establishment go down the drain. It seems like for a while the owner's son took over the cooking/kitchen & diff chefs. I stopped coming to this place because everyone retired the chef, the owner died, the service staff quit and the overall ambience and food changed. It was inconsistent and the food was not good anymore the way it used to. Today, a day after Thanksgiving I decided to try again bec i feel nostalgic for some reason. I was pleasantly surprised because my favorite dishes are coming back to life. The catfish & the beef red curry(panang)... I remember the way it used to, not 100% but it's almost there and worth coming back. I talked to the wife of the son who took over and apparently INDRA has a new chef of two years. I certainly wish that there's hope for this establishment to be resurrected. You old patrons & loyal followers of INDRA come and try again this old beloved Thai establishment. And for the owners, please bring back the Glory, the Delicious Food and friendly ambiance of classic authentic & legendary INDRA.

I usually order tom ka to get an idea of the quality of food. The tom ka here could be best summed up with one word: meh. It was not lively, barely sweet, barely spicy, the vegetables and chicken were tired. This place is how you would expect Applebee's to do Thai food.The papaya salad was equally unremarkable. Fried rice, same. The only dish we had that was somewhat palatable was the eggplant curry. It had the consistency of the tom ka but the vegetables were fresh and seemed to have a little spice. It was more of a soup than typical curry dish. I ate it with the soup bowl and spoon.The pad see was tired, with withered overcooked broccoli and a thick gooey gray sauce covering the overcooked noodles. It was very bland.There may be better choices off the menu, but we will not be returning to find out.

This place was my family's go to spot in the 80's and 90's so its nostalgic for me every time I go here. I wish more people knew about this place because its a Glendale classic.

I've been a regular at Indra since the 80s, and it's been a pretty reliable spot for good Thai food over the years.However, I've noticed that their menu has gradually shortened over time, leaving it feeling a bit limited compared to other Thai restaurants in the area.Nevertheless, they still nail the classics like Pad Thai, Pad See Ew, and their various curries--all consistently tasty.Back in the 90s, this used to be my go-to spot. While it may not rank as the absolute best Thai restaurant around, if you're craving those basic Thai dishes, it'll certainly hit the spot!I never think about it as a first choice when it comes to Thai food. But a convenient choice.

Does anyone know if this place is under new ownership? We have been coming here for about 44 years. We know the owner but haven't seen her in years!! About half of those years, after we moved from the area, we drove about 45 minutes for the good food. However, for the past two years, we have been disappointed!! The cat fish tastes muddy - not crispy and garlicky as it was in the past! The chicken curry with bamboo shoots lacks the lime leaf flavor and the slight sweetness from palm sugar which adds a nice balance to curry. The beef prik king was just okay but had better flavor, however lacking the spiciness we asked for. The shrimp fried rice was a joke! Come on now - Thai fried rice is supposed to better than what was served - simply white rice swirled with egg and oil! Disgusting! Where are the vegetables? Even carrot and peas would have satisfied!! Even Panda Express has better fried rice!! The so called spicy squid with Mint had curled up calamari that looked alien like! The fried pork ribs were tasty! That was the saving grace! Yeah! 120.00 later - the time it took to drive - no more!!

Zero stars! Decided to check it out. Once we stepped in, there were no people dining in. The Asian middle aged server/owner woman was not welcoming and had a sour unhappy aura. We could tell we were bothering her for trying to dine in. With the whole negative energy we decided to skip this place. We will not patronize any business that doesn't welcome its customers. We're taking our business elsewhere. You can keep your negativity to yourself along with your mediocre food as well. No thank you! Bye!

This review also is long overdue. Ive been coming here for over 30 years and nothing beats this Thai food. My parents came here even before I was born, and now my husband comes here with me. It's truly a gem. I hold alot of fond memories from coming here with friends and family since the 90s. The food and service is excellent. I recommend coming here with a large group so you can all try the following. Btw this is almost always our go to order for groups of 5 or more. You wont be sorryTum Yum with chicken soupChicken satayPrik King with tofuKra Pow with chicken Shrimp in the red ginger curry saucePad Thai with chickenFried Catfish with curry (it has bones, but so worth the flavor)And don't forget the fried bananas for dessert.Enjoy!

What happened to this restaurant? I used to love eating here (for nearly 20 years). I haven't been here in a couple of years and holy cow did the quality go down. Pad thai, pad see ew, pork spare ribs, and the fried fish were all so unbelievable bad and flavorless. I also ordered a cucumber salad which came in a tiny Styrofoam cup with sweet and sour sauce! Yuck!

Best Thai food in Glendale for sure recommend gotta give it a tryHave been going here for years and the food always tastes amazing
