    We flew into CLE from Florida and decided on Indian for lunch. India Garden came up with good reviews and 5 miles from the airport. The outside is unassuming and the inside quaint. The lunch buffet was very good with at least 4 meat, 2 vegan and 2 vegetarian entrees. There were also salad, tea, and rice pudding, as well as chutneys and sauces. The service was standout. Fresh naan was brought to the table with refills coming out until we said no more. Naan is excellent! We will definitely be back when in the area.

    India Garden is a Father's Day tradition in my family. My dad is from India so we always like to eat Indian food with him. We had the lunch buffet which is from 11:30 AM - 2:30 PM. It was my first time having the buffet and I was pleased with the options. They also have a great menu selection which makes it easy, especially for someone who might be trying Indian Food for the first time. My personal favorite is the Chicken Tikka Masala. The service is always amazing. They always bring us garlic naan and make sure that we are satisfied with our food which is greatly appreciated. The restaurant atmosphere is very small and intimate. Now that it is summer, it is also nice to sit outside on the patio. Overall, India Garden is a great place to go and try some Indian food. It is personally my favorite Indian restaurant and the service is very friendly!

    We always have delicious food and great service. I try something new each time we visit and the chicken korma has been my favorite.

    Excellent Indian food served here! Ate outdoors while enjoying the many choices on the lunch buffet. Food and drinks are homemade...so good! The naan is brought to the table as it is also freshly made. The mango lassi was very refreshing. Staff members had a lot of teamwork going on to make sure everyone had what they needed. Highly recommend eating here. If you never have eaten Indian food before, come for the lunch buffet so you can try different options.

    The food is amazing! Extremely flavorful and the heat levels are authentic Indian heat and not watered down . The chicken tiki masala, butter chicken, saag paneer and garlic naan are our go to. Extremely friendly service to boot

    One of the things that immediately stood out to me at India Garden is the very thoughtful way they test out where your spice tolerance is. When the server had heard we had never been there before and didn't know what their spice levels were, they brought out two sauces, one at a level 0 and one at a level 4/5 and let us try so we could determine what we wanted. We ended up getting: Garlic naan - first of all, so beautiful!! It's the perfect amount of chewy yet crispy, garlicky, and just a bit oily. And the perfect vehicle for the curry. Lamb rogan josh - this was probably my favorite of everything we got because it was so flavorful. I thought it would be a more creamy curry because the description said it was yogurt based but that's on me for just not knowing what it was lol. Mango chicken curry - had some of the most tender chicken! Especially the smaller bite sized pieces of chicken. Didn't necessarily taste of mango but still super delicious by any means. When the dishes first came out, I was a bit skeptical of how it would fill us up. But we ended up being plenty full and having some leftovers. And the dishes come with free rice which the servers are happy to refill!

    I love dining at India Garden. Service is quick and attentive. Conveniently they have parking. Gorgeous decor. They have an expansive menu. The bread basket is a great value option. I'm slowly making my way through the vegetarian main courses. Everything has been flavorful and delicious. I've dined in and ordered takeout - both a great experience. You can specify your heat tolerance from a scale of 1-10. Really easy when you're dining with folks with different heat preferences.

    The food, the food is so good! My friends and I grabbed several dishes for a get together. Palak paneer is my default and was really tasty. I would've liked more pieces of the paneer but that's just me. The chicken tikka masala is probably the creamiest I've had in a very long time. So creamy but not overwhelming. The chicken rogan josh was a new dish for us and WOW was it good. I'm coming back for it. All of this is pairs beautifully with garlic naan. Chefs kiss. If you're wondering what to get for dessert, might I recommend the kheer? Fragrantly spiced, delicately sweet, perfect. Everything was reasonably priced, decently sized and you can request the spice level you'd like. I'll be back soon!

    I have never had the pleasure of enjoying Cuisine from India. I found this place just out of a whim. So figured why not. Something new to try. This place has a small buffet. Probably around ten to fifteen items. It also has tea. I didn't try the tea. I forgot to write down everything on the menu. But what I will say is that I will go back. I enjoyed it immensely. I highly recommend this place.

    Buffet food, and a delicious Chi

    I visited for the first time for lunch in late October 2025 with friends. After lunch, we all went…read moredownstairs to play mini golf and we had so much fun. FOOD -- I ordered the Slow Braised Pork ($22) which includes sweet potato gnocchi, fennel, crispy sage, and apple cider glaze. This was a delicious and very hearty meal. I hardly eat pork so I'm glad that I enjoyed the dish. The sweet potato gnocchi was perfectly paired with the pork. Everything in the dish just blended well together. All my friends enjoyed their food too, from the meatballs, calamari, burger with fries, ratatouille, and more. I nibbled on a few of them and loved it especially the wagyu meatballs. The food was all full of flavour. Service was nice all afternoon as the server came to check on us a few times including refilling our water glasses. MINI GOLF -- Head downstairs to play some games. You pay a fee and are then given score sheets. A friend's friend had surprisingly paid for all of us and I had no idea until the next day (for some reason I thought the mini golf was included in the lunch cost...LOL). Each golf game has a different course with some being more challenging than others. I recommend Birdietown Mini Golf and Lounge for a fun day of mini golf plus lunch. I can see myself coming back again. **** GOAL of 250 reviews in 2026 - 48/250 total reviews in 2026 - 889 total Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 24 April 2026

We have 8-10 people so they just had us split into two, which was fine. The vibe was great, felt very upscale. My group mostly got mocktails. I felt like for just juice it was definitely over priced, because I felt like I was just drinking lemonade as we were playing mini golf. We only paid to play the upstairs holes, and it was good enough for us. We did not make a reservation for dinner which we regretted, but they were able to get us two tables in the downstairs area. Not a traditional seating, it was very comfy with one side being a booth and the otherwise having two comfy lounge chairs. I ordered the chicken sandwich, which was large and delicious. The chicken was well fried and the bread was so good. The fries were good, but the aioli was 12/10, so so so good! The food did take some time to come, but they were busy and were kind enough to find a spot for us. I told the staff it was someone birthday in our group and they brought a special birthday dessert which we al tried and it was great. Their menu is worth the price and the vibe is definitely jeans and a nice shirt, or a casual dress. Perfect for date night or a birthday dinner, and I look forward to coming back. The TLDR: staff was really nice, food was great, mocktails a little expensive, and the mini golf was super fun.

It's dark, it has a jukebox, and it has bar games aplenty (skeeball!). There is a coffin in the basement. Alas, several arcade games are still out of commission, probably from antiquated notions of how coronavirus is spread. Drinks are priced like it's 1996. You can add house mixers like lemonade to create-you-own semi-fancy cocktails with Tito's or Bulleit. There's an assortment of $2 (!) beers. The crowd is exactly the batch of fun weirdoes that you'd hope to see when you spot the place from outside. It's a range of ages and styles (although tends a bit goth), and--really--cast members from a local Wizard of Oz production showed up in costume towards the end of the night. Funhouse is too small to get that crowded, so the service and turnover were actually pretty quick despite full house (or COVID-era full house, anyway). We got the bill and almost laughed at how affordable it was. I don't mean to be hyperbolic, but I'm not sure if we're looking for after-dinner drinks in future visits to Cleveland that we have any reason to go anywhere else.
