    Chappli Kabob Pizza
    Jill M.

    This pizza lived up to the hype! Everyone told me this is the best pizza in Indianapolis and I loved it! We tried the chicken tikka and kebab pizza which are not your traditional pizza flavors. The kebab was a little spicy (so good in the ranch), but the chicken tikka stole the show! Don't forget sides of ranch because they have great ranch. I got carry out but there are plenty of tables to dine in.

    The combination of Indian ingredients on pizza is genius. We tried the Chicken Tikka Pizza. The crust is Chicago style with a ton of topping. The sauce was creamy, tangy and hot. There was a lot of cheese. Bits of chicken, tomato and other vegetables permeated the sauce. We loved the pizza and a small size is plenty for two people to share. The clerk was friendly and engaging. He checked on us to see if we liked the pizza or needed anything. The pizza didn't take long to come out. The dining room is somewhat stark and dated. Most people order carry out. There are about a dozen tables. The beverage selection is limited to prepackaged sodas and juices. There is plenty of parking in the strip mall. Well worth a visit.

    Dean Johnson, my grandfather, owned a TV store and subsequently many VHS tapes. It was in his living room that Mister Magoo gave me heart attack after heart attack, being the most negligible blind man to walk this earth. This California Pizza kitchen is anything but. Magoo's curated this Chicken Tikka pizza without blunder or stumble. It's a speciality pizza that doesn't ruffle conventional feathers, like the abominations that Cheeseburger pizza might. Inside this strip-mall's den of doughy discs lies a dining area that is comically long. Way too few tables fit way too big of a space. Neon "halal pizza"signs aren't one you see often, nor the reason I came, but it's definitely a draw that competitors cannot match. Cheers on cornering the market yo! Albeit not a spot I'd drag folks to, this slice of Indy is one worth an occasional rotation for those in the area. Here's to personal pizzas on sunny days.

    We ordered to go Pizza from Magoo's California pizza for a weekend get together. I knocked a star off cause the pizza itself had a lot of oil dripping and while I love greasy, cheesy pizza I didn't expect oil stained fingers while chewing a pizza. Overall the size, portion and taste were ok but I couldn't figure the intent behind so much oiliness. It possibly could have been one of those days so I will try Magoos again before I decide for sure this isn't my type of pizza.

    First time here at this strip mall pizza place and it was amazing! Came in and there was nobody in the building except for the workers. It was a very basic, unassuming interior with some tables and not much else on the walls. We almost walked away because the place seemed dead. We decided to stay and opted for the medium size pizza for 2 people. They let us split the pizza in half to try 2 different flavors--chicken tikka and beef kabob. As we waited, the crowd inside grew and grew. People were coming in and out for take out and more people were ordered for dine in. By the time our pizza came, the place was packed with such a diverse mix of people--very representative of the neighborhood. The pizza itself was fantastic. Both the chicken tikka and the beef kabob were delicious. The beef was our favorite and each bite of beef was packed with flavor. Even the crust was perfectly crispy and tasty. Easily my favorite pizza place in the city!

    Chicken Tikka Pizza with white creamy sauce

    The place is basically a take out but there is a seating arrangement if you want to enjoy hot food. The chicken tikka pizza with white sauce is hands down the best! Ask to make it spicy by adding jalapeños. The mere smell of the pizza is so appetizing that you can't resist!! Try it sometime. The service is great-as I was picking my order, someone got the sauce wrong and they gladly made another one for them.

    Passing through town on a road trip, we stopped to grab a bite at a local spot. This place hit the spot! Delicious pizza, good service, and friendly staff.

    I feel like these halal California pizza spots are the best kept secret in town! This Magoo's location is no exception. It's open late, their pizza is a bargain and it's very good! I phoned in my order late on a Saturday night (~9p) and was quoted half hour wait time. I arrived and there were several people inside waiting for their orders. The cashier was quite friendly and efficient despite being busy, and overall the place was clean and bright. There were several tables and chairs inside, but the chairs were all turned upside down on the tables. I'm assuming due to the late hour they don't encourage eating in? That's speculation on my part, though. My order was ready for pickup in the time specified. $16.34 for a medium veggie pizza...good deal! The crust is more of a hand tossed style, not too thick or thin. You have the option of white garlic sauce or traditional red sauce, as well. They don't skimp on toppings, either! I'll be back for more halal California style pizza again soon.

    I have a serious question, is your staff just incompetent or stupid, or both?…read more I ordered your food through a delivery service, that's how I was able to get some of my money back, otherwise you wouldn't pick up your phone, terrible customer service on top of the terrible food service and terrible food. I ordered two of the potato wedges with cheese and bacon, but now somehow come with ranch, I asked for that to be taken off, and it shows on the receipt, -allergic to ranch, but that doesn't seem to matter to you as you can't read the receipt or what you're supposed to do.... I ordered a box with four tacos, spicy chicken sandwich with only mayo, " not for me allergies and all" which again shows on the receipt,obviously it came with everything else. Ordered a double junior burger meal plane, with wedges and again shows on the receipt and not received correctly. On top of this, the Dasher waited 25 minutes at your location to get my food. This needs to be addressed with the general manager and area manager as you're only one a few locations in Indianapolis and your food quality and service are terrible and will put you out of business.. I come from Texas, where there are multiple Jack in the boxes and they would all have a conniption fit with the way you put out your food. Shame on you Jack in the box and at corporate. Needless to say, I won't be recommending your company like many others especially after winning an hour for cold and wrong food thank you so much for charging me top dollar for poor food. Also really feels like you're trying to screw us with the amount of food you gave, siding shrink flat-ion., boxes of wedges were half empty .

    On a recent Sunday afternoon we were passing through Indianapolis looking for a place to have lunch…read morethat we don't have at home (Louisville) and I said to the wife, I said "Hey, can you see if there's a Jack in the Box we can have lunch at in Indi"?, to which she replied "That sounds good, let me check!". This location is right off of the expressway and it's very easy to find. It was about 1:30pm, so we fortunately missed the lunch rush. Before we even walked in I knew what I wanted, and that was those outstanding Jack in the Box tacos. There was a current promotion for 2 Monster Tacos for $3. Was I dreaming? Sign me up! The restaurant was clean and well-stocked when we arrived, aside from the drink station with, let's face it, is trashed in just about any fast food restaurant. The floors were clean, trash wasn't overflowing, and all the tables were clean. The dining room counter tops could use some attention/repair. The are cracks next to the drink machine that look like they want to be fixed. My wife's whatever-it-was burger was good (by her account). The Monster Tacos were very much worth taking a short detour off of I-65. The staff we encountered (cashier, primarily) was very nice and helpful. For the most part the staff was busy taking care of things, but during the 45 or so minutes of our stay, no one came out to take care of the dining room. Now that we know there's a Jack in the Box easily accessible during our trips to Ft Wayne and back...TACOS!

The restrooms were clean,they smelled fresh and all the tables in the dining room were cleaned too. They have plenty of outdoor seating once the weather gets nicer.

    A nice upgrade from fast food. Jaggers is a giant step up from a fast food lunch…read more Jaggers features unique menu items like the Sunrise Burger, which is topped with a fried egg. The black bean burger is delicious, and you can customize the toppings and cheese on any burger or chicken sandwich. Sides include edamame, tater tots, fries, fruit, and a side salad. The sauces, like the salad dressing, are made fresh in house. Sauces include country gravy, buffalo, sweet heat, ranch, and honey mustard. I always order a sauce or two for dipping g my tater tots or fries. The salads are much better than the usual fast food or fast casual restaurant. Always fresh ingredients and the dressing is made daily, in house. Several varieties of salad and they are all excellent. Shakes are excellent! Very thick so you will need the extra large straw. The employees are very friendly and service is fast. The dining room is always clean and the booths are solid and comfortable.

They were busy at lunch with eat-in and carry-out orders. The parking lot was full. But we're we're able to get a table for two. When we came in, they called out their English speaking server, Karla. Karla was supper friendly and attentive. I had two of their special pupusas. They were served with limes, sauce and curcido, which is a spicy marinated cabbage mix. The shrimp pupusas is stuffed with bits of shrimp mixed with a generous amount of creamy cheese. The chicken pupusas was filled with a lot of chicken and small amount of cheese. Both pupusas were excellent. I also had a chicken taco, which was a pretty standard Street taco. The chicken was moist and yummy. The restaurant and parking lot could use some love. The dining room could use a coat of fresh paint and have ceiling tiles repaired. The parking lot needs to have potholes fixed and could use some lines. That said, I'd come back in a heartbeat. The food is that good.

Our visit was during the 8am breakfast scene and we enjoyed a feast of pupusas, curtido, beans, yucca, plantains and chicharrones. All were hearty and delicious.

We noticed that you can order fresh smoothies thanks to their partnership with the juice/ice cream shop next door (or possibly owned by the same folks?). The staff was also incredibly friendly and we loved the opportunity to only speak Spanish during our visit. Can't wait for our next visit!
