    Bhindi Masala

    The service was good, but didn't really like the food too much. It could've been what was ordered. The basmati rice was good

    Just had lunch at Green Chilli Indian Restaurant, and it was excellent! Was sad to see that they were broken into last night. Everything was delicious, good service! Will definitely be back!

    Green Chili has been a favorite in our home for years. It's definitely a hidden gem of Nashville, quietly tucked under I-65 on Rivergate Pkwy. We've liked everything we have tried over the years from Biryani to Butter Chicken and more.

    Chicken Tikka Masala

    I lived a few blocks from 'Little India' in Los Angeles and I can say this place has amazing food and the best garlic naan I have ever had! Definitely a hidden gem! What's yummy? - Chicken Pakora (lightly breaded and fried chicken tikka) - Lamb Samosa (delicate, crispy fried pastry filled w seasoned ground lamb and veggies) - Chicken Tikka Masala (Chicken Tikka in tomato/yogurt sauce) - Garlic Naan (light, crunchy and good kick of garlic!) Spice levels- love that they offer 4. Mild, Medium, Hot and Very Hot If you like spicy, start w the medium first. Their Hot was uh pretty hot. Lol. Loved the service (they were so welcoming) and the food. Random perk: They provide good tasting drinking water - definitely wasn't just tap! Lol

    Shrimp Curry

    On the road traveling and stopped nearby. Read reviews and thought I'd give it a try. When it arrived at the table it was unlike any curry dish I've ever had. It looked like it was soaking in tomato soup. It was terrible. The bread that I ordered wasn't much better.

    It was my first time eating Indian food and the server was very helpful making her suggestions for our family. We have a toddler and a 9 year old so we got the mild spice option. We ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Tikka Masala, and Lamb Vindaloo to share with the Garlic Naan. We got the kids rice and chicken for the toddler but he wanted the sauce options instead. Will definitely be back.

    The food was really good. The location is kind of in an awkward position being under the interstate and back off the main road. The service was really good and the ambiance was great. The server explained the menu in detail and went over the spice levels. All of the naan breads are really good.

    Don't go when you are extremely hungry.. but worth the wait. Everything we got was amazing. Will be definitely coming back. So glad there's a good Indian restaurant near Hendersonville! Garlic butter naan is a must and chicken masala is out of this world.

    Food was excellent, atmosphere leaves a bit to be desired. The food was super tasty. I ordered chicken Tika masala. It was flavorful and filling. My sister had a spicy meal and she loved it. I forget the name of it but it was a chicken curry. She loved it. I do not tolerate super spicy food so I didn't try it. It's definitely a family friendly restaurant (there were babies in the front room). The decor was a bit outdated but the staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The prices are expensive but the quality of food made it worth it. They also do not have a lunch menu, everything is dinner prices.

    Do you still offer a lunch buffet?

    Just pickup Togo tonight and I asked the same question. They said not at this time, but possibly in the new Year.

    Are reservations necessary?

    No. It's a pretty big beautiful place and rarely crowded. Really good.

    Tumeric & Co is THE place to go if you're craving Indian on a lunch break or even a quick dinner!…read moreLocated in Hunters Station in East Nashville - Tumeric & Co is the perfect addition! Located just right from the main doors, there is bar seating, communal seating for the food hall or limited smaller tables you can dine at! I came in wanting to try a little bit of everything and venture out from the norm. The lady who helped me with my order was amazing - she guided me through the menu, let me know her favorites and made my lunch break experience so simple! I ordered the Kathi Roll with Butter Chicken, Dal Makhani, Pork Bites and a Masala Chai for the extra cherry on top! Each meal was delivered in a fresh new way from traditional Indian restaurants I've tried in the past. I fell in love! While they may be part of a food hall, do NOT let that deter you from the flavor explosions of each hand crafted meal! They are East Nashvilles BEST Indian for a reason! Their location makes for easy pickup/take out as well!

She literally slammed everything used in the process and mixed it with the worse attitude. She also mistreated her coworkers and raised her voice enough we could heard her on the other side of the kitchen. AWFUL. I speak Spanish and she wasn't saying very nice things to them. Other than that the food was still good but we ordered it to stay there and was presented with plastic to go containers, not what we expected. She made it so unpleasant to be there and enjoy. That was her way to say "get out and don't stay". All we wanted was a quiet dinner and enjoy our time.

When they first opened, it was so sleek and shiny - a long way from what it is today! We ate there last Sunday the 19th of April. There is duct tape EVERYWHERE trying to hold the once glossy, once white, once clean laminate in place. The booth we sat in (also cushion ripped and worn) had no less than 6 strips of duct tape holding it together. If you look around the dining room, it is on most of the joints, keeping them together. It is als VERY junky and cluttered. Went to the bathroom (another area that needs a lot of work) and there are rolling storage cabinets lining the hall making it very claustrophobic. On the way back to the table I looked behind the bar - a hodge podge of tools and caulk guns and whatever else I do not know piled in the floor. It was a mess. Corners and baseboards, chair legs and booth bases were just - dirty. Years of residue built up. Probably won't eat inside ever again, it is just so depressing, especially after knowing what it once was. We were there at prime lunch time after church and there were only three tables seated and a couple of to go customers.

    I have a new favorite restaurant in Clarksville…read more "Aroma" is an appropriate name because you smell sweet curry spices before you open the door to go into the restaurant. The restaurant is calm and quiet on the inside with well dressed tables. The lunch buffet is setup along one wall with wonderful foods to try.

(Frankly, I'm being a bit generous, with rounding up an extra half star, because they are so newly opened.) Overall, my wife and I really enjoyed our meal (actually, "meals", given that we had two additional meals of leftovers). Also, the staff person with whom I dealt was super friendly. I am really happy that this is the closest restaurant to my home! I am including photos of pretty much everything we ordered. Clearly, as you can see from the photos, this was a To-Go order. We didn't actually order the rice, but it appears to have come with our entrées. And I did not take pictures of the sauces that typically come with some Indian dishes. Starting with the appetizers, we had Meat Samosa and Samosa Chaat. We loved the Samosa Chaat. Very flavorful, quite good textures. And even a couple days later, the leftovers were really tasty. The Meat Samosa could use a bit more work. I thought that most of the pastry was really good; good flavor to it, and most well cooked and flaky. But some of the pastry was a bit undercooked and I thought that the filling could benefit from something to help it hold together a bit better, rather than being crumbly, falling back onto the plate, and needing to be corralled with a spoon. That said, I really liked the flavor. But I would lean more towards ordering the Samosa Chaat, based on this one experience. On to the mains. The Tandoori Chicken may be the best we have ever had, anywhere. (Note: I have tried the dish in well over a dozen restaurants from coast to cost in North America.) Great flavor. Well cooked. And, importantly, still moist. So many versions are disappointingly overcooked and dried out. We will definitely be ordering this on a regular basis. The Chicken Cashmere had a delicious sauce; a really flavorful dish. I would recommend that the chicken be cooked slightly less, to help keep it tender and juicy. We were torn between ordering the Cashmere and the Korma (which we have had elsewhere), and will likely be trying the Chicken Korma next time. And, then, additionally: The Papadums were nicely cooked and are among our favorites, though there is nothing particularly special or different about these. The Paratha, one of our favorite kinds of Indian bread, were OK, but seemed to be made using a somewhat overlapping spiral, rather than the multitude of layers we have had elsewhere. Toasting it lightly (in pop-up toaster, each half cut in half again) really boosted it. The Mango Chutney was a good version, as was the Achar. The rice was cooked with some spices, and so had a more interesting flavor than one gets with plain white rice. I was asked on the phone how spicy I wanted things. I said, "medium". Maybe the question was automatic and the dishes we got were not intended to by very spicy at all or maybe they don't expect the typical Central Tennessee resident to be capsicum-tolerant, but there was really little-to-no capsicum in evidence. So, next time, as I said, we'll be trying the Chicken Korma instead of the Chicken Cashmere. And we will probably be adding a Biryani. (For the Biryani, I'll be pushing for Lamb -- we'll see how that idea goes over.) And I just noticed that they have a Coconut Soup, and that seems intriguing. And, as an aside: I offered to use my sheet scanner to create a better quality copy of the menu. The original JPEG scans were about 11.5 MB each, and I converted them to a set of more manageable ~325 KB versions. (If the restaurant wants the full original scans, I can provide them.)
