    Chicken tikka masala, chili chicken, and lamb garlic naan wrap

    Wonderful service! Delicious food!!! Such sweet attention to detail....helpful! We loved all we got and are happy to try something new!

    Tikka masala
    Courtney E.

    We decided on lunch here after seeing the great reviews. The food was made to order, hot, and tastes great. There were a few mishaps with getting orders right while we were there, but the employees handled it well and immediately fixed the problem. Falafel was flavorful, curry was spicy and good, and the masala chai was AMAZING. The chai was creamy, spicy, and perfect. I would definitely come back if we lived near!

    Chicken curry
    Amanda W.

    Decided to try something new today after reading reviews. I'm so glad we did. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to come back here again. Everything was absolutely amazing. They have 4 tables to sit at after ordering at the counter or they do to go orders. They have music playing which was a little loud but other than that it's a nice clean little restaurant. The menu bored is a little different than the paper menu I took pics of I ordered the curry chicken spicy and it was so flavorful. The chicken was juicy and tender. Ordering it spicy gave it the perfect balance. It comes with a little side of rice which was really good as well. Hubby ordered the lamb shawarma over rice and it was really good. Could use more lamb pieces. The tzatziki sauce was really good might ask for extra next time. We got an order of samosas which was 2. They were huge. It's a puff pastry dough filled. I'm not sure exactly what's in the filling but they were the best ones I've had anywhere. The sauce that comes with them is a little sweet but compliments them well. We also got 2 orders of garlic naan bread and they are huge pieces we could have gotten just 1. Taste very similar to garlic breadsticks. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

    A very good family restaurant with great service. The falafel is VERY flavorful but also dry and dense. However, the samosas are light, crispy, and moist but lack flavor (without the sauces). The chicken kabob wrap is really good and gives you a chance to turn up the spice! Will definitely eat here again when I'm in the area.

    Very delicious chicken Shawarma! Quick services and nice host!

    Goat Curry

    This spot is more suited for take out. The inside of the restaurant is small, but the menu is a blend of middle eastern and Indian and is definitely robust at heart! I was expecting a Turkish menu given the "doner" in the name. The goat curry was delightful, naan was warm and fresh, lamb plate was okay. To be honest, I've had better shawarma, so I was a bit disappointed, but the curry made up for it!

    Samosa
    Merry B.

    I got a Groupon ad for this place and couldn't pass it up. My husband and I ordered samosoas, a paneer pizza, naan, and butter chicken. Everything came out hot and had good flavor. The samosas were crisp and came with tasty sauces, the pizza had a nice crust on it and the right amount of toppings. The chicken itself wasn't amazing, the texture seemed a little off, but the sauce was perfect! Besides a small serving of rice, which was fine given the amount of other food we had, portions were generous and we had lots of leftovers that heated well.

    Lamb over fries
    Kevin D.

    One of the best indian restaurants this side of Indy! Ordered Chili chicken and lamb over fries. Food was delicious and service was great. They also have classic Indian sweets like Ras malai, carrot halwa, and mango lassi. Definitely will return for more!

    I don't know my way around Greenwood so I searched for a place to eat by rating and Spicy Doner came up. The exterior is pretty informal but I liked what I saw on the online menu so I went for it. To sum up I got a lamb shawarma on a pita, fries and garlic naan. And it was Delicious! They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Well I keep ordering shawarma everywhere I go and being disappointed...until now. That shawarma is cravable. It comes with hot sauce that is no joke. But it's spicy with flavor so I enjoyed it. The restaurant is family owned/operated and they said the pitas and naan are all house made. I ate my pita so fast I didn't get a picture. But I'll be back so I'll get that pic eventually.

    Do they have doners like you would get in a German train station or street vendor? Not shawarma, not a gyro, but a doner kebab?

    No, it's not like what you would get in Germany but it's still quite good.

    This was my first time trying Turkish coffee, and I absolutely loved it! For other first-time…read morevisitors, I recommend letting the coffee sit for about 30 seconds before taking a sip so the fine grounds can settle to the bottom. Also, don't stir it after it's served, as that will bring the grounds back up into the coffee. Be sure to leave the last sip or two in the cup, since that's where the grounds collect. The coffee itself was excellent, but I would recommend that servers explain these details to first-time customers or at least ask whether they've had Turkish coffee before. A little guidance would make the experience even better for newcomers. We also ordered the hummus as an appetizer, and it was fantastic. The naan was served warm, and the hummus tasted incredibly fresh and flavorful. It was the perfect way to start the meal. We also ordered The Bosphorus Special, a mixed grill platter featuring doner, kofte, chicken kebab, beef kebab, Adana kebab, and chicken Adana kebab, served with vegetables and white rice. Everything was absolutely delicious. The meats were cooked perfectly, tender, and packed with flavor. I'm so glad my significant other and I decided to share this entrée because the portion was very generous, and we still had plenty of leftovers to take home. While the service could have been a bit more attentive, it did not negatively impact our overall experience. After our food was served, our waitress did not check back to see how everything was or whether we needed anything additional. We also ended up with quite a few leftovers and requested to-go containers. Initially, only one small container was brought to the table, which required two additional follow-ups before we received enough containers for the remaining food. One suggestion I would offer is that, for tables ordering larger meals, it may be helpful for servers to proactively offer to box up leftovers as dishes are cleared. For just two people, our table became overcrowded rather quickly, especially with the generous portions. Since our waitress did not return after the food was served, it made managing the table and leftovers a little challenging. That said, we had a wonderful first experience overall. The food was outstanding, the portions were generous, and we look forward to coming back again in the future.

The pita bread was the warmest, fluffiest, pita I've ever had. Would definitely order it again. I would've liked the baklava to have more honey on it so I'll be sure to ask if ordering it again.

    Went for lunch on a beautiful day in Indy. What a surprise this was. I love Mediterranean food…read moreand this was hands down the best I've ever had. The ambiance is spectacular. The beautiful tile floors and the view of the canal is perfection. Our server was so nice. Excellent customer service. This was my first time there but I was with a local so when the waitress came up she said "Do you wanna start out with hummus & pita?" I figured it would be the ordinary hummus and pita....oh no ma'am. This was pita with marinated meat and the warmest pita on the planet. I enjoyed so much of it I couldn't eat the falafel when it came. I definitely wanna go back cause there's so many things on that menu that I would love to try.

I would come back for that alone even to just sit and drink on a cool evening. Drinks were super good. We ordered the dolma, gyro platter, and shawarma platter Only reason I'm withholding a fifth star is I think the food is a bit overpriced for how good it is. It is good, but I've just had better Mediterranean food for less. The portions are big though, so you could share plates! It is worth a visit! We'll probably be back again

    Love this restaurant. Family owned, home made food was super delicious. It's a beautiful place too…read more Went on a Friday evening and was greeted and seated right away. The gentleman who helped us out was super friendly and helpful. When I mentioned some of the things I like, he suggested the gyros plate which comes with salad, rice, pita bread, and hummus. The hummus might be the best I've ever had. My SO had a beef shawarma sandwich with yellow rice. Delicious. Everything was delicious. I love the combination of flavors. The gyros meat was tender and amazing. For dessert, we had the best baklava ever. Seriously. The layers were perfect. It was sweetened perfectly. It was the first visit by my SO who was pleasantly surprised and impressed by the delicious taste and great service. I wish I lived closer to this place but am glad the great restaurant is still great after all these years.

    When my children inexplicably said that they wanted to try shawarma, I ran, not walked, to Sahara…read moreRestaurant. (Actually, I drove. But you get the picture.) Requesting something other than pizza and burgers is a big deal! I ordered the beef shawarma and the chicken shawarma, just so we could try both. Both looked like a burrito, which is familiar to my kids, so they went with it. We liked the beef, but the chicken shawarma was mind-blowing, and we will definitely be ordering this again. You can get the shawarma by itself or as a meal, which means it comes with fries. I also got the gyro, which comes with sliced beef and lamb, yellow rice, hummus, salad, tzatziki and pita. Because we got our food to go, the pita came separate from everything else, and I had to assemble my gyro myself like a little taco. It was delicious, but so much food! Honestly, the gyro plate can feed two people easily. Because I can't pass up a baba ganoush, I ordered a small one. They have some excellent baba ganoush at Sahara! I think this might even be my baba ganoush go-to now. Ordering online is very easy, and my food was ready to be picked up even before it was supposed to be. The only thing is that Sahara is located on the Broad Ripple strip, so parking can be iffy. I didn't find any parking in front of the restaurant, so I had to circle the block a bit before I found a spot.
