Not the food quality I expected from previous visits. May not be worth patronage that I once suggested. The food has gone vanilla and something has seriously changed for the worse. May never return. read more

No one was more surprised than my husband and I that one of our most profound experiences with Indian cuisine was found in Topeka, Kansas. We have traveled cross country moving and such no less than 4 times together, using our GPS to find Indian restaurants on the road when we are ready for lunch and dinner. I've had had Indian food all over this country, but none top Globe. I am a vegetarian and my love for malai kofta runs deep. It is hearty, satisfying ,and spicy. This dish is often my litmus test for cuisine cred. To date, no place has topped Globe's kofta in my book. I also had the paneer pakoras which were really delicious. The pakora batter was light and crunchy and the paneer fresh. Our server was extremely nice and helpful as well. Ultimately, having dinner at Globe was a tasty and positive experience. I look forward to blowing through Topeka again for some great food! read more

We moved to Manhattan 2 years ago from New Orleans & have missed wonderful spicy Indian food! We had a very mild Indian place in Manhattan that sufficed with some hot sauce of some sort. They since closed and left us wanting another Indian buffet! This is an amazing place & satisfies the spice that we love!! We will be returning many times. read more

This is a small (apparently family run) restaurant. We stopped in for the lunch buffet. I'm a vegetarian. This is the only place I've discovered near downtown Topeka that serves vegetarian fare. My wife, who was with me, had both vegetarian and beef/ chicken Indian dishes. Buffet was excellent! For my taste, the level of spice in all the dishes was perfect, not too much, not too little. I like spicy food; none of the dishes were bland. This was my first visit to an Indian restaurant, but I guarantee I'll be back to eat at this one again! Large variety of dishes, both vegetarian and otherwise, all fresh and hot. Buffet was kept fresh even though it was around 1:00 pm. Cost with tax was $23 for 2 people, so pretty reasonable for the value. It's basically a self serve restaurant, but the staff does keep your drinks filled and used buffet dishes promptly removed. If you're in downtown Topeka and unfamiliar with Indian cuisine, this would be a great place to stop in. With so many choices on the buffet, there's plenty of room to experiment. read more

Found this place on yelp to satisfy my fortnightly craving of Indian food. After reading the reviews i was a little skeptical but as this is the only place with Indian food in Topeka went anyway. Place was virtually empty with only 1 other person eating there on a Saturday afternoon. It's either that they make their food in small batches or that i had walked in at 1:45 PM. which is around closing time - as there was only one piece of tandoori chicken and a couple of pieces of naan which they did not even attempt to replenish. The taste of the food was awesome. I was expecting them to have really toned the food down but they have remained true to the original taste that I would expect back home. The butter chicken, chicken kadai, egg fried rice were all spectacular. Even their matter paneer (peas and cottage cheese) was great. From the desert selection the Mango ice cream was delicious. Price wise i found it to be similar to what i would typically pay for a Chinese buffet ($12) so I'm not sure of the comments of this being expensive. The way i look at it is that you get limited great stuff here v/s huge amounts of average stuff in other places for the same cost. I will surely be returning here to get some more of this. What they can improve is their overall customer service experience which i found to be lacking Topeka standards - it was more of ignore the fellow that i expect in NJ, but I'm in it for the food so i didn't mind. read more

Decent indian food to satisfy that craving in Topeka. We tried the lunch buffet, and while it had all the basics you'd expect - it was about average. Chicken tika masala was pretty bland. Beef vindaloo was tough, but it did have some kick to it. Eventually I just got tired of munching on it. Chicken tandori was dry. Aloo ghobi, however, was very good and done just right. The home-made mango ice-cream that you had to scoop out of a big vat of orange goodness, was delicious, though a bit icy. It had just the right combination of sweetness and creaminess to it, so it was definitely worth the seconds. Overall, a good bet if you're craving indian, but don't expect miracles. read more

Come down here for work and wasn't really looking forward to this trip. But after finding this little gem I will be requesting trips here more often. The food was amazing!!! This is a MUST!! You will not regret you decisión. read more

Globe Indian Cuisine - We had the Chicken Mushroom Curry,plain Naan,and Chicken Khari curry - Indian Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

My favorite restaurant in Topeka! I'm from San Diego, and always craving flavorful cuisine, the food here is amazing. So many Indian spices in each dish, your palate is electrified! Take advantage of the buffet, it's $10.95/person (there's coupons available on their website too) and has a wide assortment of traditional Indian dishes such as chicken tikka masala, tandoori chicken, samosas, vindaloo, and a great selection of vegetarian dishes. Everything is wonderfully tasty, the service is super, and the atmosphere is simple and clean. A must do if you if you are sick of fast food, pizza and barbecue! read more

I've tried MANY Indian restaurants around the US and abroad and Globe is by far my favorite. Friendly staff patiently answered any questions I had about the menu and the food is absolutely delicious. I had the samosas for appetizer-they had a little kick of spice but oh so flavorful. I had the Tikka Masala for my entree and oh my goodness, flavor explosion in my mouth. Each bite was so comforting! I also tried the coconut/peshawary naan...highly recommend. It compliments the food well and has a mild sweetness that can also be eaten as a dessert. I live an hour away but was visiting Topeka for an appointment. I'll definitely be back and will gladly drive the distance for Globe Indian Cuisine. read more

Ordered Chicken Chef Special Curry and tiki masala with regular and Garlic Naan! Everything was amazing!! The service was great besides the fact that we waited for a while for our check. The atmosphere was very nice and and felt very Indian to a very American person. read more

Globe Indian Cuisine - Chicken Chef Special Curry and tiki masala with regular and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Topeka, Kansas

The Globe offers a lunch buffet that is worth the price and the time in line. There is usually a crowd enjoying the vegetarian options along with the fish and chicken options. The tandoori chicken is a must have on your first trip to the buffet. Their mango ice cream and rice pudding are the perfect end to a fine meal. The location proves a challenge occasionally so plan ahead to have change for the meters near by. The Naan and the veggie pakoras are my favorite with their spice tray. read more

The lunch buffet was extremely sparse so I ordered off the menu. The serving size was not near enough to get me full. It comes with a huge bowl of rice which I ate about half of. More rice than entree. read more

Went in after hearing about new management. It was amazing and the staff was very friendly. Main course took a little while, but I don't mind waiting when the food is this good. Thats expected under new management anyways. Can not wait to go back. read more

Consistently good food. Close to downtown. Lunch buffet is popular and a very good value. Authentic food in a nice, friendly space. Bring some quarters for the parking meter. read more

I have to start off this review by admitting, in the interest of full disclosure, that I am not a fan of Indian food. In fact, you will likely never see a review for another Indian restaurant on my Yelp page again because I simply never go to them. But, a friend of mine picked this as the place for his birthday lunch, so I went along. I have to say I was a bit nervous when I saw the outside of the building, but the inside was extremely clean and well kept. The wait staff was nice and did a decent job of managing our larger group inside of what is actually a relatively small seating area. The food was likely what you would find on any Indian buffet. I will say that their tandoori chicken was so well done that I was willing to eat a second piece (and I never get seconds on any Indian cuisine, usually). The other items on the buffet left a lot to be desired in my opinion, but that may just be because this type of food is a "no" for me in general. Overall, this would likely be a good place to stop in Topeka if you are craving anything Indian! read more

Newer Restaurant in Topeka that is sure to make more money than "Other" restaurants in the area ever will. Better food I would Bet on it!!!!! read more

Was a regular Friday customer. Average food. Only near by Indian option. 2 stars for that. Doubt cleanliness as they don't like to clean tables after customer eat. Rude owner. read more

The five stars is basically just for the tikka masala.The rest of the food was good and I enjoyed it, but let me bathe in that stuff for the rest of my days. The mango ice cream was thick and weird but who even cares about any of that when that chicken exists. read more

Went on a date there and the presentation and quality of food was excellent. Our server was super personable and on top of itz

Took my mom here today to have her try something different. Had great service and yummy food. Manoj was very attentive and made sure everything was perfect. Even gave a sample of a dessert. My mom enjoyed it all and will be coming back too. If you haven't tried you should. This is my 3rd or 4th visit. Trying something different everytime. Service and food has always been excellent. read more

In Topeka for a seminar. Dang it is had to find vegetarian fare in this town. The samosas, pakora and naan delicious. Everything else a tad salty. But quick and quiet and just what I needed. read more

We walked into a clean and simple dining room, and were seated immediately. The staff was courteous and professional. One thing I liked that I've never experienced in an Indian restaurant before is the server asked what heat level I wanted for my Mulligatawny and my Rogan Josh. She went on to clarify that this meant did I want mild (American style) or Indian style. With the gauntlet thrown down, I ordered Indian style. Both dishes were beautifully spiced. Yes, they brought the burn; but in a nuanced way that made you want more. I truly enjoy Indian food, and have had a lot of it that is well crafted. This was well crafted too. But, I'm not sure I've ever had the attentive service offered by the servers at Globe Indian Cuisine. read more

Great food! Great service! Would love to come back. Best Indian food we've had in a long time.

Had the shrimp korma medium spice. Absolutely the best Indian food I've ever eaten, and the owner and staff is so nice! Will be coming back here every time I stay in Topeka! Thanks! read more

Dal Mahkni was AMAZING!! It came traditional style with the Indian butter on top. So so good! Also, best garlic naan I've ever had. It was thin and crispy on the edges but still soft. Delicious!! read more

Great food!! We had the lunch buffet and everything was fresh and delicious! We will be back here again for sure.

Had a co worker suggested this place. Glad she did. It's a nice change of pace from the same Ol stuff. Food was good and hot

If you like Indian Food, this is a must visit in Topeka. Two blocks from I-70 and the Capital building. Easy to stop in if you are passing through Topeka. Vegetarian and Carnivore friendly lunch buffet. Fresh, hot and clean. Many food options. Includes nice chutney selection as well as tasty mango ice cream. The Nan is fantastic. Food on buffet is medium hot. Menu items are available at any level of spice. Good price, great service, Good selection. Easy access. Four stars instead of five because building is old and some of the booths have holes in the seats and are kind of cramped. Not show stoppers. read more

Convenient downtown location features a small buffet selection with the classics (chicken tikka masala, samosas, biryani, etc.). Light, airy and open restaurant space with beautiful modern lighting. This is a perfect date space! Reasonable prices and very friendly staff. They also can cater for events. read more

This place was great! Chicken Tiki Marsala was fantastic! Service was fast, friendly and welcoming! Don't miss out on this place!

4 for being great food.... with great service... Yes, I said it! It's a small place, and persons crying that their water was not filled often enough should take themselves to a place that can actually have a "water clown" run around and fill your water. Seriously, this place is run by essentially two people... Take your grievances elsewhere. Also, about it being "decent" Indian food-- how can it not be good or great?? It is run by Indians!!! I think they would know what Indian food tastes like. Solid food for Topeka. Would have been a 5, but I've had better Indian food in downtown San Diego at similar prices. Still, a must-go for Topekans. Support your downtown! NOT Wanamaker alley. read more

I live in San Francisco and eat Indian regularly. This little gem in Topeka Kansas is ad good as any bay area Indian I've had. You're lucky Topeka. I'd give it 5 stars, but they don't have beer, and that's a bummer. read more

I'm glad it's here and it's a solid three star. Some dishes are well executed (I'm thinking about the "chicken tikka" - which is actually a half decent butter chicken), others leave one scratching one's head (beef biriyani?) and slightly disappointed. Seeing beef at all is weird - presumably the proprietors aren't hindu. Regulars to the convenient lunch buffet will be at the mercy of the chef. Some dishes are nice surprises, others less so. Other highlights include the fried onion pakoras and the mango ice cream. Boned chicken dishes are just fine. Biryanis generally are on the weak side, with insufficient goodies mixed in and on top (cashews, raisins, fried egg...but I digress, it's a regional thing and these guys perhaps don't have the knack). Some dishes have a nice spice kick to them, although these may not be marked. Overall, a workman-like, serviceable, and convenient lunch stop. Come early and get first crack at the food. Besides, Topeka. So don't be super picky, OK? read more

We made it simple and ordered the non vegetarian dinner for two. It was a lot more food than we could eat, but that is ok because everything was absolutely delicious. The chicken tikka masala was our favorite by far. The only disappointment was they no longer have wine. The hot tea was equally fantastic. read more

Delicious Indian food in the heart of Topeka. Very nice staff with fun stories to tell. They were very accommodating to my friends food allergies. read more

After spending several weeks without much food diversity I decided to take a risk and try something different. I am glad I did. While the physical establishment might not be very impressive. The treats that await you on the inside will leave you satisfied! Most of the usual Indian delicacies are available here in a very clean dining room. The staff did not communicate very much, they seemed solemn in fact, however there were no issues at all. Two lunch buffets came in at just over $23 with the $1 off coupons available on their website. Pay these folks a visit! read more

What a great Indian restaurant! We have stopped here for lunch on several occasions while passing through Topeka (in fact if we are anywhere close to Topeka we will make a point to detour to have lunch here). Everything is good, hot, and fresh! What makes me shiver with delight is the ... Mango Ice cream! read more

This is a case where I wish there was the option to give different star ratings for food, service and ambiance. Certainly, the food alone is four star. My appetizer, Vegetable Pakoras, was very good and plentiful. My entree, Malai Kofta, was really delicious. The ambiance is OK, but fairly plain and unattractive. The service was speedy, but lacking. I think with a bit of training, it could easily be improved. It was just some little things, but they all added up and detracted from the overall experience. For example, they put a plate of poppadoms on the table, but didn't bring the pickle and chutney until after the poppadoms were long gone. I can't recall any other Indian restaurant serving one without the other (and I've eaten in several dozen different ones) It may sound like I'm splitting hairs, but I was the only person in the restaurant at the time, so it wasn't like they were too busy or distracted. Another issue was that I was given the check without an option for a second beer, more water or dessert. No big deal, I didn't want any, but if it was offered, I might have changed my mind. Nevertheless, the food was delicious and I would go back and that, to me, is the acid test. read more

I ate here for lunch one afternoon. The restaurant itself is just a square somewhat small room. Very plain decor and not much of a hint that it's Indian. No frills what so ever. That doesn't really matter to me since it was a quick lunch buffet. Items such as Korma, Lamb Rogan Josh, Chicken Tika Masala and Saag Paneer were all good. I was hoping for Vindaloo since I love heat. The naan was great. I've eaten in 30 plus Indian restaurants while living in NYC and this is pretty much on par with those type of places. It's not upscale Indian but everyday Indian. Great buffet food. The variety could be a little better but oh well. And don't expect much service. They fill your water glass constantly and that's fine for me, read more

Another great dinner! The Indian food is tasty and the service is great. When I'm in town I always enjoy dinner here.
