    My husband and I tried this restaurant for our anniversary, and it was the perfect date night spot! Though it was difficult to get in, we made a night of it by heading to a nearby bar while we waited. At the restaurant, I enjoyed the best mocktail I've ever had, and my husband had a delicious spicy marg. We loved all the gluten free options as well. The pad thai was worth the wait to get into the restaurant, and we will definitely be back to try other options on the menu!

    2 years later and finally made it back to BODHI, once again 5 Stars!! Jack was our server tonight for our part of 6, and he was fantastic! Jack took multiple group photos for us, gave excellent menu recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of all through out our dining experience. Patio ambiance is nice, inside restaurant is beautiful! Fried Rice and shrimp is super flavorful would recommend trying it! I especially liked the tomatoes in it.

    Have heard such amazing things about this place for years and finally got to try it. Get there before they open and wait in line if you want the best chances of getting in without reservation. Staff is extremely friendly and the whole vibe of the restaurant is great. Food and drinks were both phenomenal. Lots of options for those who love spice and those who might be a little shy to it. Will definitely be back.

    7 Realms of Happiness - delicious!

    Ummmm of all the times I e been in Indy, why have I never been here. You need a reservation, and must show proof of being 21 and older to enter. Please note: if you use Open Table that is not the correct restaurant, so avoid that mistake. My friends and I sat on the patio and we ordered shrimp cocktail and fried tofu. Holy yum. I can't remember our drinks but they were absolutely delicious. For dinner my friends had pad Thai and I had the lemongrass soup with shrimp. All were amazing. The best part - our server was James. He was a pure delight. Really leveled up our experience. Can't wait to return.

    Cute bowl of BODHI Fried Rice with fresh vegetables and fried tofu , and some fresh sliced cucumber on the side.

    The ambiance of this place is amazing right off of Mass ave, u step into a cultural oasis, plush plants , cosy bar and dining area, very nature meets industrial vibes. Definitely gets busy and reservations are usually needed. Their playing and drinks are top tier too! The food is always made very well and the staff really seems versed in the menu, new offers and what makes the dishes a hit and how to order. Very helpful for those not used to Thai cuisine. I started off with the crispy freshly made crab rangoons with sweet chili sauce, great combination of flavor, loved them! As for the entree I ordered the vegetable fried rice and substituted their amazing tofu, cooked perfectly the fresh veggies and rice complimented the fresh cut cucumbers and fried tofu very well. Their drink menu has fun looks, from towering bubbles to elephant cups. All fun but the menu can add up but everything does taste what it cost. Won't disappoint as far as tastes goes! Will come back next time I want a fun vibe and great tasting Thai, try them on ur next date night our friend outing!

    Been to Bodhi several times and recently went in with my wife and her friend, who has gluten, dairy, and soy allergies. Can confirm it still slaps and is good for those with dietary sensitivities. We sat on the patio for the first time. Such a lovely space. Helpful for sure with the waiting time. 10/10 food, great service, and the best pad Thai I've had in a while.

    I've heard SO many good things about BODHI and finally got the chance to try it. I genuinely cannot believe it took me so long to try it, but WOW! The food was actually insanely good and I'll be dreaming of these spring rolls until i get them again. the chicken wings might be some of the best in the city with a proper sauce. for the pad thai i did heat level 2 and that was plenty for me honestly. the mocktail was delicious, i just wish it was a litttttle bit bigger. it did take quite some time to get a refill, which was the only downside because my mouth was hawwwwt lol next time i'm 100% going to go for a table on the patio if possible!

    My girlfriend and I went to Bodhi recently from a friend's recommendation and we had an incredible time. To start off the parking is a bit space right by the restaurant so prepare to park on the street or by the garage food hall just around the corner. BODHI has a very cool vibe as well, we sat on the back patio which had plenty of greenery and decorations, it was absolutely stunning! The food at bodhi is some of the best Thai food I have had in all of Indianapolis. The drunken noodles were tender and delicious as well as the chicken was super flavorful . My girlfriend got one of the curry's and she loved it as well. We also ordered the crab puffs which were perfectly crispy, sweet and had just the right a mound of crab flavor. Overall incredible experience at body with excellent stuff and service, i will definitely be going back!

    The restaurant only offers dinner and doesn't open until 5 PM. My friend made reservations a week in advance for Sunday right at opening. They have the option to come in stand by so you can take your chances if you don't make reservations, but they do seat reservations first. The last time I visited, they didn't take reservations, so it's nice that they offer them now. Just a heads-up: they do require a card on file, and if not everyone in your party shows up, there's a $25 per person charge. I arrived around 4:30 PM and noticed there's a small parking lot in front of the building, along with metered street parking. The lot looked full at first, but I lucked up and grabbed a spot right in-front of the building. Since it was Sunday, parking was free, definitely a bonus, otherwise the parking spaces in the lot are metered. It was a beautiful day, and it looked like the outdoor seating was open. The last time I came, it was too cold, so that area wasn't available, nice to see the difference. The interior is very small, so having the outside open can accommodate for more guests. Our server, Kristy, was friendly and welcoming. They have a unique cocktail menu. I tried the 7 Realms of Happiness, a bourbon-based cocktail. It was smooth, easy to drink, and not too strong, pretty good, but on the expensive side for $20. The food menu has some tasty choices. The apps we shared were the crab puffs and the spring rolls, I love these, so good. I was stuck between a stir fry or noodles. I decided on the Chili & Basil with steak (spice level: 2 peppers) and glad I did. It had a nice kick, definitely on the spicier side, but the flavor was so good, it was delicious! The portion was generous, and I even had leftovers. There was a $5 upcharge for the steak, which felt pricey, but I loved it. We were a party of five, and an automatic 22% gratuity was included, which our server let us know upfront. I enjoy coming to Bodhi!

    Another amazing trip to Bohdi! I've been thinking about this place since the last time we visited. The special I had on my previous visit wasn't available on this visit, but tonight's special was just as amazing. I don't think this place creates anything that doesn't taste amazing. Margo is as our waitress and she was fabulous! She made recommendations and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. Another great experience! Can't wait to go back!

    Steak Drunken Noodles
    Staci W.

    My party came on a weekend night without a reservation- they said we could sit right away outside (it was chilly) we didn't want to wait a few hours so we took them up! They didn't have heaters but they did have a small fire going. Our server was attentive. We ordered the wings which were crispy but lacked seasoning- it relied on the sauce for the flavor. I got the steak drunken noodles which was flavorful and filling. My husband let me try his yellow curry which was good as well.

    No-Sin-Aree & Kinnaree
    Zachary H.

    Our new number one favorite restaurant in Indy! Bodhi was on our list for a long time but we were saving it for a special occasion and for a time that worked to risk a walk-in. Now that they take reservations, we figured a new year's dinner was the way to go! The restaurant decor was beautiful - low, warm lighting and moody art, cozy dining area with the fancy cocktail bar vibe. I started off with a Fruit and Fire, which was a little spicy (hot) but I really liked it. My wife had the NA Yen and she really liked it. For starters, we had the crab puffs and papaya salad. The crab Puffs were good but the papaya salad was shockingly delicious. It was very well balanced, fresh, and just so good. For the mains, my wife had the steak Drunken Noodles and our waiter recommended the Chili & Basil Pork (heat level 3). The Drunken Noodles was really good but my dish was definitely the star of the show. The heat level and flavors were just a masterpiece. I cannot wait to go back for more! The portion sizes were pretty great for the price as well. And to finish, we had the Kinnaree and the No-Sin-Aree, both refreshing! 10/10 across the board! A must-try for anyone who likes thai, cocktails, or a cute dinner date!

    Is this place good for teens, or is this a +21 establishment?

    It's 21 and over only

    Is it kid friendly?

    It is not; it's 21+ only

    Is it loud?

    Yes! Very loud lol but the food, drinks, ambiance & photo opps are well worth the noise! Trust me on this one

    Is there outside seating and if so, dog friendly?

    Their outdoor space is lovely! If I remember correctly you have to enter the restaurant to access the patio so I don't think it is dog friendly but may be wrong on that!

The lounge is much larger now, with additional seating and a cozy lounge area in the back featuring comfortable couches. It feels much more open while still keeping the intimate speakeasy atmosphere. This is one of my favorite places for craft cocktails because there's always something new to try. Their menu changes seasonally, so even if you've been before, you'll usually find new creations alongside their signature cocktails. The drinks are true works of art, both in flavor and presentation. On my most recent visit, I tried a cocktail off the Pride menu called the Stonewall, and it was absolutely delicious. It had a beautiful pink color, and I loved the glass it was served in. The presentation is always top notch. Service was good. The drink was also only $10, which is pretty cheap for the quality compared to other places. We didn't stay long this visit, but it's always one of my go to spots to relax, catch up with friends, and enjoy expertly crafted cocktails. An added bonus is that you can order food from Goodfellas Pizza and enjoy it while you're in the lounge, making it an even better experience.
