    7 Realms of Happiness - delicious!
    Liz G.

    Ummmm of all the times I e been in Indy, why have I never been here. You need a reservation, and must show proof of being 21 and older to enter. Please note: if you use Open Table that is not the correct restaurant, so avoid that mistake. My friends and I sat on the patio and we ordered shrimp cocktail and fried tofu. Holy yum. I can't remember our drinks but they were absolutely delicious. For dinner my friends had pad Thai and I had the lemongrass soup with shrimp. All were amazing. The best part - our server was James. He was a pure delight. Really leveled up our experience. Can't wait to return.

    Cute bowl of BODHI Fried Rice with fresh vegetables and fried tofu , and some fresh sliced cucumber on the side.

    The ambiance of this place is amazing right off of Mass ave, u step into a cultural oasis, plush plants , cosy bar and dining area, very nature meets industrial vibes. Definitely gets busy and reservations are usually needed. Their playing and drinks are top tier too! The food is always made very well and the staff really seems versed in the menu, new offers and what makes the dishes a hit and how to order. Very helpful for those not used to Thai cuisine. I started off with the crispy freshly made crab rangoons with sweet chili sauce, great combination of flavor, loved them! As for the entree I ordered the vegetable fried rice and substituted their amazing tofu, cooked perfectly the fresh veggies and rice complimented the fresh cut cucumbers and fried tofu very well. Their drink menu has fun looks, from towering bubbles to elephant cups. All fun but the menu can add up but everything does taste what it cost. Won't disappoint as far as tastes goes! Will come back next time I want a fun vibe and great tasting Thai, try them on ur next date night our friend outing!

    Been to Bodhi several times and recently went in with my wife and her friend, who has gluten, dairy, and soy allergies. Can confirm it still slaps and is good for those with dietary sensitivities. We sat on the patio for the first time. Such a lovely space. Helpful for sure with the waiting time. 10/10 food, great service, and the best pad Thai I've had in a while.

    I've heard SO many good things about BODHI and finally got the chance to try it. I genuinely cannot believe it took me so long to try it, but WOW! The food was actually insanely good and I'll be dreaming of these spring rolls until i get them again. the chicken wings might be some of the best in the city with a proper sauce. for the pad thai i did heat level 2 and that was plenty for me honestly. the mocktail was delicious, i just wish it was a litttttle bit bigger. it did take quite some time to get a refill, which was the only downside because my mouth was hawwwwt lol next time i'm 100% going to go for a table on the patio if possible!

    The restaurant only offers dinner and doesn't open until 5 PM. My friend made reservations a week in advance for Sunday right at opening. They have the option to come in stand by so you can take your chances if you don't make reservations, but they do seat reservations first. The last time I visited, they didn't take reservations, so it's nice that they offer them now. Just a heads-up: they do require a card on file, and if not everyone in your party shows up, there's a $25 per person charge. I arrived around 4:30 PM and noticed there's a small parking lot in front of the building, along with metered street parking. The lot looked full at first, but I lucked up and grabbed a spot right in-front of the building. Since it was Sunday, parking was free, definitely a bonus, otherwise the parking spaces in the lot are metered. It was a beautiful day, and it looked like the outdoor seating was open. The last time I came, it was too cold, so that area wasn't available, nice to see the difference. The interior is very small, so having the outside open can accommodate for more guests. Our server, Kristy, was friendly and welcoming. They have a unique cocktail menu. I tried the 7 Realms of Happiness, a bourbon-based cocktail. It was smooth, easy to drink, and not too strong, pretty good, but on the expensive side for $20. The food menu has some tasty choices. The apps we shared were the crab puffs and the spring rolls, I love these, so good. I was stuck between a stir fry or noodles. I decided on the Chili & Basil with steak (spice level: 2 peppers) and glad I did. It had a nice kick, definitely on the spicier side, but the flavor was so good, it was delicious! The portion was generous, and I even had leftovers. There was a $5 upcharge for the steak, which felt pricey, but I loved it. We were a party of five, and an automatic 22% gratuity was included, which our server let us know upfront. I enjoy coming to Bodhi!

    Another amazing trip to Bohdi! I've been thinking about this place since the last time we visited. The special I had on my previous visit wasn't available on this visit, but tonight's special was just as amazing. I don't think this place creates anything that doesn't taste amazing. Margo is as our waitress and she was fabulous! She made recommendations and made sure we were taken care of the whole night. Another great experience! Can't wait to go back!

    My party came on a weekend night without a reservation- they said we could sit right away outside (it was chilly) we didn't want to wait a few hours so we took them up! They didn't have heaters but they did have a small fire going. Our server was attentive. We ordered the wings which were crispy but lacked seasoning- it relied on the sauce for the flavor. I got the steak drunken noodles which was flavorful and filling. My husband let me try his yellow curry which was good as well.

    Bodhi just may be my new favorite spot downtown! I visited twice in one week and it was great both times. The cocktails are amazing. The food is delicious and so beautifully presented. I love that they now take reservations but don't forget your ID! Bodhi is 21+ It's such a cool, unique vibe it's perfect for date night or girl's night! If you like Thai food or just enjoy imaginative cocktails, try Bodhi.

    Our new number one favorite restaurant in Indy! Bodhi was on our list for a long time but we were saving it for a special occasion and for a time that worked to risk a walk-in. Now that they take reservations, we figured a new year's dinner was the way to go! The restaurant decor was beautiful - low, warm lighting and moody art, cozy dining area with the fancy cocktail bar vibe. I started off with a Fruit and Fire, which was a little spicy (hot) but I really liked it. My wife had the NA Yen and she really liked it. For starters, we had the crab puffs and papaya salad. The crab Puffs were good but the papaya salad was shockingly delicious. It was very well balanced, fresh, and just so good. For the mains, my wife had the steak Drunken Noodles and our waiter recommended the Chili & Basil Pork (heat level 3). The Drunken Noodles was really good but my dish was definitely the star of the show. The heat level and flavors were just a masterpiece. I cannot wait to go back for more! The portion sizes were pretty great for the price as well. And to finish, we had the Kinnaree and the No-Sin-Aree, both refreshing! 10/10 across the board! A must-try for anyone who likes thai, cocktails, or a cute dinner date!

    In town for work so friend and I tried Bodhi. Definitely feels like a vide kinda of restaurant for local. Our server was very friendly, all the staff was actually. Food was good and full of flavor. The wings were excellent! The steak salad I found to pretty damn good as well. Chili basil pork for sure was pretty on point. The edamame.In it was a strange addition. They didn't have any Thai chilis in fish sauce but they did have a house made hot sauce that had lots of flavor. Overall great meal just not super authentic Thai, just a tad bougie. If I lived here I would be back for sure.

    WOW! who would have known that one of the best thai spots would be in Indianapolis! Everything here was AMAZING! There was an hour wait, but it was well worth it. The vibes inside were great. I loved the decor inside. We were seated at the bar, and the shelves were lined with bottles. I also loved all the greenery that lined the other side of the wall. I also want to mention that the presentation of all the food was gorgeous!! To start, we tried the spiked Thai tea. It was awesome! I've never had a spiked Thai tea before, and this blew me out of the water. You couldn't even tell that it was spiked, which is a dangerous mix LOL, but I loved that it came with the banana spring roll (like turon almost). We ordered the papaya salad, pad thai, and beef massaman curry, with a side of rice. Alot of food for two, but we had to try everything we could!! I will say that this may have been the best thai food i've in a long time. This is a must-go in Indy!!

    So much hype--had to finally see what all the fuss is about. It was a Sunday evening so we managed to walk in and snag a tiny table without a wait. The decor and ambiance is terrific. The bar is beautiful to look at. Really nice lighting and fun details & fixtures. We knew what we wanted right away and ordered almost immediately after we were seated. The food is great although not sure the pad Thai is worth $25 but nonetheless came out super fast. I love that this place is women owned and operated but not sure if any of those women were there tonight. Appreciate that it's 21+ only. A bit off putting that "audio surveillance is in use." Our server was attentive and so were the rest of the staff. So fast in fact, it felt like they were rushing us somewhat to finish up and get out of there as quickly as possible. Random moody people kept coming around to clear dishes every step of the way. It's not like this is fine dining where someone comes around to scrape crumbs off the table and give you a new crisp cloth napkin. It's more of a trying too hard/hipster vibe. While it's nice to have things cleared quickly, we didn't order a ton of food. We were there two hours before closing and decisive with our order. It really felt more like we were being rushed. This prompted me to look up the hours they're open. I was surprised they were only open from 5pm-9pm. I've worked in bars and restaurants in major metropolitan cities so I understand being exhausted and in a hurry to get home but there's no way anyone was working a double there today. My biggest pet peeve is when a table is being sprayed down next to me and I can taste the chemicals. No one wants to spend good money on food and drinks only to ingest the stuff they use to wipe down the tables. Is it really so difficult to spray into the cloth instead of like 4-5 pumps directly on the table when people are sitting two feet away? The takeaway is the food and drinks are good but I would probably go to Thaitanium for Thai on Mass Ave down the street for dinner next time and maybe just a drink at Bodhi. The menu is more limited than many traditional Thai restaurants I've been to. It was a tight squeeze in there for seating and we got the feeling the staff was just ready to go home. They were a bit pretentious and not exactly welcoming. Felt like we were more of a burden than valued patrons. Not a great first impression

    Is this place good for teens, or is this a +21 establishment?

    It's 21 and over only

    Is it kid friendly?

    It is not; it's 21+ only

    Is it loud?

    Yes! Very loud lol but the food, drinks, ambiance & photo opps are well worth the noise! Trust me on this one

    Is there outside seating and if so, dog friendly?

    Their outdoor space is lovely! If I remember correctly you have to enter the restaurant to access the patio so I don't think it is dog friendly but may be wrong on that!
