Indian & American Restaurant - Lamb biryani, chicken samosas, garlic naan. - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Doesn't look there is any restaurant part to this anymore. I could only find carry out inside a small Indian convenience store and a couple of uncomfortable chairs to sit while you wait. I ordered a butter chicken and some garlic naan. It was decent but nothing to write home about. It's not exactly cheap and you pay extra for rice. With so many great Indian restaurants in town, I doubt that I will make a special trip here. read more

Indian & American Restaurant - the inside of a restaurant - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

We chose this place because it was close to our hotel. We know very little about Indian food but we're game for trying something different. It is definitely an Indian restaurant that caters to fellow Indians. There was a hanging menu with a list of dishes and prices but no descriptions. We asked for help and they had a collection pictures on a paper menu, but no names, descriptions or prices. We ordered butter chicken and something else recommended on yelp. There were only two places to sit and so we decided to wait in the car and watch the semi trucks do masterful parking. We took our food back to the hotel. Our bellies got full. The butter chicken was decent. Only go if you know what you want and you want it carry out. If you want alcohol.... They have plenty of that. read more

Ordered Doordash for my gf from this place for her bday and I was impressed. The buttered chicken with garlic naan and samosas were so good I'll probably order again this week. I definitely recommend this place if you like or would like to try Indian food. read more

Let me start off with the great customer service from the hard working employees, they have a dine in place inside this restaurant as well, I ordered the curry shrimp with rice and it was definitely great plus they give you enough rice definitely more than I was expecting but that's fine, I definitely have to come back and try a few more menu items next time I'm in the area. read more

This is one of the more unique restaurant in Indianapolis. It previously was (I've heard) a regular truck stop diner but now is owned by an Indian family. Therefore, they serve traditional trucker diner food (mashed potatoes, eggs, etc) and AMAZING INDIAN FOOD. Seriously, it's really good. My vegetarian dining partner says their dal mahkni (sp?) is the best. I LOVE their chicken tikka. Their roti is very buttery and delicious. We've liked everything we've had so far. Location is right off of 465 and Harding - so great if you're getting off the highway. It's hidden a bit from the road, but follow GPS and it should work out. Be careful making a left-hand turn from leaving the diner and back onto the road - it can be really busy. The restaurant looks like your average greasy spoon diner. Service is pretty good - I see them having a lot of convos with the truckers who come in to dine alone, so I think that's nice. They also serve a lot of alcohol, too. Lol which makes me nervous since so many truckers stop there. Lol hopefully there's no drinking and driving! read more

The food was absolutely delicious!! Naan perfect, chicken tikka masala just right, like they knew which heat level i wanted. Rice to perfection. The place is definitely a hidden diamond.

Indian & American Restaurant - Tikka masala with naan and samosas!! Yum - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Absolutely delicious. Some of the best Indian food I have ever had. I got the non vegetarian entree and was not disappointed.

Order 2 aloo parathas, paneer tikka masala and dal. You get a choice of rice or 2 rotis with your order. We ordered 1 with 2 rotis and one with rice. They provide plentiful jeera rice. The rotis are big and will fill you up. This is a dive with some great food and excellent service. Dining area was closed for seating. We arrived around 1 and orders were coming in rapidly. The young lady said it would be about 20 mins. Order came out a bit quicker than expected. Again the phone was constantly ringing and people were picking up left and right. This place is near a truck stop, actually right across. Going back to our order, the taste was great, quantity was excellent, and we were full! Wish this place was closer to home we would be frequent customers! Give this place a shot if you are in the Indianapolis area. read more

We ordered on UberEats and realized after delivery that this is not the name of the restaurant (it goes by Biryani Bistro). And it's inside the gas station. We were a bit apprehensive because it was $70 for three meals, they didn't include our rice, and it didn't look like the photos. The goat biryani wasn't very good, and we tossed the majority of it. Which was a real bummer considering the restaurant is NAMED for its biryani. The paneer mahkni was OK. the flavor of the sauce was good, but the paneer was incredibly chewy. The butter chicken was decent. The mango lassi was good though. Overall, we won't be ordering from here again and quite disappointed that we spent what we did for mediocre food. read more

As of March 2022, this restaurant is takeout only, but I imagine seating will reopen soon. Everyone in my party of 10 loved their meal and said they'd return. I got Lamb Saag and a Mango Lassi which were delicious and fresh. The Lamb Saag had a very light amount of spice. If you're not too familiar with Indian food, you may have to google especially the veggie options before ordering. If you have sensitivity to flashing lights, beware that some light strips in this restaurant may irritate you. The biggest cons of this restaurant are the wait time and location. The posted signs say you may have to wait 45-60 minutes, but all entrees in my big party were out in about 30 minutes. If you're within a 30 minute drive, I would recommend calling in your order and then picking up to avoid wait time. The location is kind of difficult to find behind the vape shop, and some buildings nearby are run down. The inside of this restaurant and the parking lot seemed well-kept. If you pay with cash and your meal is over $20, you get a discount! The staff was friendly. read more

Indian & American Restaurant - Chicken korma and chicken curry w/ naan - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

All indications say that this place now calls itself alternately, Indian American Restaurant or American Indian Restaurant, depending on what you're looking at (signs, menus, etc.). It also has a 3-way liquor permit, which is pretty odd in Indiana. Their clientele was largely Indian truck drivers, who bought pints and quarts and more of food to take on the road with them. This is a positive indication. But there are problems. This is tough to review, so bear with me. First, the food is probably a 4 star. Good stuff, good and varied ingredients. We had great garlic naan, and two moderatly spiced dishes. There are both meat and "vegetarian" dishes. The staff is friendly. And they are watched by at least a dozen cameras that I could casually count. I have to take a point off for clumpy rice. You get served plastic spoons, and the plate wear is probably leftover from the Omelette Shop (they still serve breakfast, American-style ones). Still, the entres we had were pretty good. It's pretty dirty, superficially dirty, the restrooms are dirty. It has a bad paint job. But the food is good, and they're plentifully friendly in this trucker cafe turned Indian restaurant. It reminds me of what I liked and didn't like about India, but the small problems could be easily fixed with a little pride and elbow grease. It's for this reason that I'm unlikely to return. The food is good, but it's dirty, and there's nothing truly novel about it. In a different venue with some cleanliness and attention to detail, this place could easily be a 4 star. Sadly, it is not. read more

If you have ever lived in India and miss the authentic food you can find off freeways on road trips, this is the place to go! To be honest, I wouldn't have seen this place on Yelp if I wasn't looking for a specific Indian dish. Anyway, I have been here thrice and been greeted by warm people always! I have tried tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, chicken josh and saag, and I've not been disappointed at all. They serve rice or 3 rotis, whatever you prefer. If not stated, expect a good amount of butter/oil on the rotis. Food comes with plain yogurt, pickle and onions. Food is authentic, not crazy spicy and delicious. You'll end up taking some portion to-go. They give one to-go box per person and charge extra for additional to-go boxes. They also have some Indian sweets on display but I'm always so full with the food that I don't get to the sweets. They carry lots of variety in alcohol. You'll spot a lot of trucks around this area because of it being right off 465. read more

This is officially the best paneer makhani I've ever had. The chilis and onions came on the side, which was wonderful. I could get a GIANT chai. I also got extra roti because it is just... Perfectly oily for roti. My husband got rice instead and they gave him plenty also. I think I have a new favorite Indian restaurant. If you are considering this place, make sure you show up before 21:40 so their kitchen will be open. I would hate to hear that anybody came here for food and missed their chance. read more

This is hands down the best, most authentic Indian food in the city. Hidden out by the airport, Mitran da Dhaba provides traditional Indian cooking that is full of flavor, and you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't order a wide spread and leave with lots of yummy leftovers! I always tend to order a buttered chicken or aloo kebabs and plate-fulls of garlic naan and this place does not disappoint. I love how authentic everything feels and the food is amazing. read more

Indian & American Restaurant - Lamb vandaloo - Indian Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place locks their doors at 9:30. I think they'll allow you to sit in until 10 PM to finish your food if you were inside the dining area by 9:30. I reached there at 9:40 and was told that they are closed. Would be nice if they can mention this on their website... Oh wait! They don't have a website :( Maybe they can correct the hours on Yelp and Google. This place was highly recommended by my friends. Next time will be there early to get some food and will update this review. read more

Food was good! We had it delivered and sadly the rice didn't make it in the order. How can you eat Chicken Tikka Masala and Saag Paneer without rice? You can't! So, we cooked up some rice at home. The food held nicely. The tandoori chicken was probably the best I've had at a restaurant. The naan was good. Saag paneer wasn't as creamy as we would have liked, but it was still good. Everything had a nice level of heat. Oh, and the mango lassi was good, too. Not overly sweet. read more

We went for lunch & we order food for dine in & to go. Our naan came first then after 15 minutes or so they brought vegetable dish. The dish was plain and had no flavor in it. Well then they messed up our Lamb Rogan josh. Instead of giving us rogan josh they gave us Chicken tikka Masala. Well we didn't find out until dinner & have no taste either. I'm not going there again but please check your food to go. If I'm spending $80 for lunch then they should have Good customer service as well. read more

Probably not very well known because of where it's located but very good authentic Indian food! A little run down family own restaurant that seem to be recently renovated to look more appealing. A full size bar as well as American dish served (but not after 5pm). I got the chicken tikka masala with rice and it was delicious! read more

Amazing meal and amazing service! Aloo paratha, Gobi paratha, vegetable pakoras and chutneys were delicious! The kadi pakora was almost as good as my Mom's. The food is homemade not restaurant style. Wish this was closer to Cincinnati! We brought home a huge bag of leftovers, and another bag of carry out!!! read more

This place may not seem like anything more than a typical truck stop diner at first glance. The large sign on the tall poles outside, just visible from the interstate, says "Omelet Shoppe" and has a few broken panels. On closer inspection, you can see that the building itself is well maintained and has signs on the side proclaiming "American & Indian diner". The inside is clean and tidy, with the usual diner-style booths and a small bar tucked into the corner. The real difference is in the menu. Half is the usual diner cuisine (burgers, omelets, steaks, etc), the other half is Indian cuisine. My wife and I sampled the Indian menu extensively in our first visit. The food was at least as good as any Indian restaurant we've ever been to, if not better. I tried the bacon cheeseburger on my next visit. It was just as good. They do an excellent job on both halves of the menu! read more

Excellent Restaurant. I am a native New Yorker and I've eaten at all types of restaurants nationwide. This includes Indian food. I'm not exaggerating when I say this restaurant has some of the best Indian food I've ever eaten . I'm 56 years old so that's quite a few. I actually asked for the chef , Simran, and not only commended him in his cooking but tipped him as well as the restaurant itself. Come try this gem !!!! read more

I was brought here by one of my Indian friends as her family eats here frequently. This place, while a little off the beaten path, serves up some of the best Indian food I've ever had. It has 2 names- one is "Omelet Shoppe" and the other is Mitra da Dhaba. In other words, this place is a true trucker diner with all of the breakfast and lunch fixins PLUS has a very large assortment of Indian dishes and you can get whatever you want anytime. You can also buy small bottles of alcohol and make your own drinks. The servers and owners are sweet. Don't let the area scare you off- it's definitely worth the trip! read more

So far so good for me. Ambiance is nice food is good service is awesome as soon as you walk in they take care of you.

Never coming here again that's for sure! So disappointed with food and service. I've been to tons of Indian food places and this is by far the WORST Indian food I ever had. No flavor just dissatisfaction. read more

I could hardly believe this place exists, a little diner at a truck stop near the interstate. With Indian food. The restaurant looks like a throwback diner, and you half expect people rolling around on skates. The menu contains both typical American diner foods and Indian dishes. We went with the Indian food and tried the dal makhoni (sp?) and the chicken makhni (sp?), along with a side of gobi paratha. I'm not a huge fan of lentils, but my friend enjoyed his dish immensely. I liked my chicken dish but couldn't figure out the difference between that and butter chicken since it tasted very similar and the ingredients listed on the menu were the same. The food didn't blow me away but it was decent Indian food in an area rather sparse in good Indian restaurants, and close enough to my house that it's not a long trek to satisfy my cravings. Overall, I'm a fan. read more

Food is delicious. I have tried dal tadka, paneer kadai and malai kofta which were amazing. This is one of the most authentic north indian cusine i have had in US. You get a feel of home cooked food.

Man, the only thing that upsets me about this place is that I haven't been sooner. Nowhere else in town can you get curry and a burger, or fried balogna and some paneer. You get the picture. It's a wild and wonderful mashup of a menu. The absolutely divine Indian food and friendly, hospitable atmosphere are housed in a very shabby, unassuming (almost downright scary) exterior. Don't judge this book by its cover. We ordered the lamb curry, chicken tika masala, and green peas paneer with a side of garlic naan. Everything was perfect, truly. The tika was actually the best I've ever had. And guys, lemme tell you I've had some tika. The curry was the perfect level of spicy; enough to warm me on a rainy day, but not so much that it upset my hangover. I can't attest to the American side of the menu, but I will be back. Again and again. And I highly encourage you to try this place too. If you or your dinner partner loves Indian food while the other of you has a strictly Americana palate, then this is a great place for you to both get what you want. Or if you're like me then you just wanna pour some goat curry on a baked potato, put some tika masala on a buttermilk biscuit, or smother some hash browns in a saucy paneer...the possible combinations are nearly infinite. read more

Really impressed by this restaurant. The building certainly doesn't look like much (a diner-style setup that caters mostly to truck drivers) but the food is on point. It's a hybrid of American diner food and Indian dishes. Pretty strange, right? You can either order American dishes or Indian ones--though I have not tried the American food--depending on the time of day. Fairly good deal for the portions as well. My favorites are the palak paneer and wheat roti. This is my go-to for quality Indian food on the southside of Indy. I have been here several times after discovering it just a few months ago. read more

I stopped at the Pilot next door for my 10 hr. I was delighted to learn there was an Indian restaurant next door. Despite the name "Omelet Shoppe" and the inclusion of American style food, I was decently impressed. The building has the feel of an old cafe, but the employees are nice and the food delicious. My wife and I ordered the curry chicken and Kadai chicken respectively. The dishes had just enough spice to keep one eating without being unpleasant. I personally enjoy very spicy food, but I believe there is a misconception about how spicy foreign foods are. The owners are from India so I trust they know how to prepare their native dishes. Especially considering they are working with American ingredients and American customers. Don't let the worn decorum or questionable neighborhood discourage you from enjoying the this delightful experience. read more
