My first time here in this cute local place. I never knew about it before until I was meeting up with some friends who suggested it. We ate inside and had a nice time. We all had ordered different things- I had eggs, bacon, toast, and fries. The bacon was very good too- nice and crisp without being overcooked. Everyone seemed to enjoy what they all ordered as well. It was plentiful and very good I couldn't finish the whole thing. There was plenty of parking in front and across the street so it was very easy to get to. It's not far from Rt 53 and Denville downtown by a few minutes by car. I enjoyed my lunch and would come again. Enjoy. read more

Came here on a Sunday for lunch with my girlfriends and we had an amazing time. The place itself is so cute and it's right next to the lake. I got the Lakeside latte and it was delicious and came in a beautiful cup. We shared the empanadas which were yummy. I got the Healthy bowl, which was absolutely delicious. You could tell that the ingredients are very fresh. We shared the French toast with custard as a dessert, and it was the best decision ever because it was amazing. They didn't kick us out even though we stayed a little longer to chat, which was very nice. I highly recommend this place. read more

Service takes too long!! Waited over 25 minutes for OJ and food. And it wasnt busy at all

What a great find! The food here is fresh and made to order, and you can really taste the difference. We tried the Bistro Burger, Jersey Burger, and Spanish Omelette. Everything came out hot, fresh, and delicious. I originally ordered the steak club sandwich, not realizing it was made with chopped top round. I asked to switch my order, and the staff was so accommodating. I went with the Jersey Burger instead, and although there was a little mix-up when it first came out, they quickly resolved it without any issue or making me feel uncomfortable. What really stood out was the service. The staff handled everything with kindness and professionalism, and they even brought us a sweet treat as a thank you. That kind of thoughtful touch goes a long way. It's a quaint little spot with a welcoming vibe, and we'll definitely be coming back. Shout-out to my husband! He did good finding this gem! read more

We had an amazing brunch at Indian Lake Bistro! Jesus and his crew took the best care of us and cooked up some super delicious menu items! It's literally right by Indian Lake, which provides a beautiful and relaxed ambiance, giving the place true lake vibes. It's quaint, cozy, and somewhere we definitely want to go back to! We absolutely loved the empanadas, El Presidente (chorizo breakfast sandwich), and the lattes. They serve local Lake Born Coffee (Denville) which is also a huge plus!

This is the little Bistro that could ( and does)! The food is very well executed. You can taste the level of care that is put into the dishes. The chicken wings, for me, is the star of this menu. But many other dishes are equally worth the purchase. Definitely a wonderful mom and pop place to eat and spend your money for a meal. Only bad thing is it isn't open late at all so last 8 for dinner isn't really an option. read more

We have ordered from Indian Lake Bistro through Doordash forever, but today we ate in for the first time and holy cow, the food was fantastic from delivery, but dining in was absolutely next level! This place is in such an unassuming spot that you could easily miss it, but don't! It's right across from Indian Lake diving beach which makes for a beautiful view. Imagine all your traditional breakfast and lunch dishes with a Latin twist! My wife ordered the grilled cheese and tomato soup and both were out of this world. The tomato soup was so incredibly savory and the grilled cheese was delectable with a nice crunch. I ordered the skirt steak with eggs (yes, you read that right) which came with avocados, beans, rice, and this delicious garlic salsa that they make in house. Everything was cooked to perfection. On top of all of that, the staff and owners are so incredibly warm and welcoming and make the food with such a passion that comes through so clearly in every dish. I totally recommend you make it a point to stop in. read more

On the evening of Small Business Saturday, I decided to pay Indian Lake Bistro, American & Latin Cuisine a visit for an evening dinner. This is yet another place that many have raved about and its been on my radar for a while. I ordered three chicken empanadas to start of my meal and requested the hot sauce on the side. The empanadas were perfectly sized for an appatizer and were tasty, especially with the sauce on the side. For my main course, I ordered the Surf and Turf (flavorful combination of grilled skirt steak and shrimp, fried yuca, and a mix of rice and beans) The meal was phenomenal and the combination of the skirt steak, shrimp, rice and beans, and yuca made for a really tasty meal. I don't ever recall eating a yuca and will say it was tasty. Indian Lake Bistro may be a bit off the beaten path and not a place you would expect a restuarnt. Despite the location, the food was really good and I was glad the reviews turned out to be true. Located at 65 Indian Road, it is not to far from the Acme on Route 53. I was able to easily find a parking spot and picking up my meal was a breeze. While I did takeout this evening, a future visit may very well include bringing a bottle of wine to accompany my meal. In ordered online and the menu platform was easy to navigate with ease. I ordered online and the meal was ready as promised. When I got home, the meal was still warm and I quickly dug in after taking a few pictures and transferring it out of the aluminum tray in which it was served. All those who raved about this hidden gem were spot on. Denville is fortunate to have so many great places to eat and Indian Lake Bistro is definitely one to add to your list of places to visit. read more

What a gem tucked away right across Indian Lake. Greeted so warmly by Jesus the owner. It's definitely very casual when you walk in but once you look at the menu you will be very pleasantly surprised. Wonderful selection of foods and beverages. We came for a late lunch and decided on the Berry and Goat Cheese salad and Chorizo omelette. Absolutely delicious. The salad was so artfully presented; nicer than many more expensive restaurants. My latte with honey and cinnamon was sooo good. The service was wonderful and we cannot wait to go back for another meal. read more

Everything was delicious! We ordered dinner for take out and got tostones with guac, the steak sandwich, a veggie burrito, and their famous flan! The portions are very generous and everything tasted fresh. You absolutely have to try the flan, everyone raves about it and I can see why! Sadly we barely took any pictures, just of the flan. We'll be back again and I'll be sure to post pics this time before diving in lol! read more

I usually get the surf and turf, full of flavor. Skirt steak is cooked perfectly every time and everything on the dish is very simple but compliments each other. The garlic sauce is so good as well. My wife usually orders the healthy bowl which is also very flavorful. The Steak burrito is my go-to for lunch and empanadas are amazing. read more

This has become my go-to place for my favorite comfort food and it's always done just right. The fact that they have fresh squeezed orange juice is a plus too. (It's also fun to watch the 'contraption' cut the fruit, then squeeze and dispense the juice). Very clean place and nice people. Give it a try! Sue R read more

Food is decent. Overpriced.. way overpriced. If you can sit outside, beautiful view. I ordered Avocado Toast with 2 eggs and Taylor Ham.. it was like 17.00 with a drink. I get that overhead is expensive, but let's be real.. This place hasn't been the same since The McGavins owned it.. good food always when they had it.. Good Luck to the new owners.. read more

The food is tasty, fresh, reasonably priced with reasonable portion size. I live locally and have been working from home and started ordering lunch at least 1x a week and have been pleased with lunch. You can get delivery via DoorDash or order on their website. Their website is great and easy to navigate-- I recommend using that for pickup. Staff is nice. This place is great for what it is.. a small local luncheonette.. hence my high rating.. don't expect gourmet or crazy selection but do expect good food and good service. read more

Ordered the super bowl special thought the food would be homemade however it was more like frozen prepared food. Disappointed.

Best food in the area. This place has gotten us through the pandemic with takeout and they are consistently amazing. Thank you for making delicious, affordable food! read more
