The establishment was really cute. The vibes were cool. I had heard so many good things but I doubt I'd return. I felt like I was rushed. They give you a 90-min limit which is reasonable but I felt like I needed to know what I was going to order before I got there. Our waiter was very patient and gave me suggestions. The elephant drink was different. It had a matcha with citrus flavor goin on. I ordered the chicken wings and Pad Thai. The chicken wings were bland. The Pad Thai definitely had the spice. I ordered a medium spice but it felt spicier. I didn't have a horrible experience, I've just had better. Great place if you want to get some cute photos.
An absolute hidden gem! Owned by a Thai grandmother and her daughters, the food here goes beyond standard Thai it's distinct, deeply flavorful, and incredible down to the last bite. The ambiance is equally stunning, making you feel completely transported to another dimension through its curated music, theme, and decor. However, let's talk about the rules. Bodhi runs a tight ship: reservations required, your whole group must be present, ordering happens all at once, and you're out the door in 90 minutes. We planned a fun girls' night and felt completely policed by the strictness. Sure, strict turn-times happen in big markets like New York or Chicago, but it feels heavy-handed for Indy. If capacity is an issue, extend hours or find another workflow instead of treating customers like cadets. The rules take away from an otherwise magical place.
This is a terrific Thai restaurant in the Mass Ave. District of downtown Indy. Judging by its popularity on the Monday night we visited, I'd say that's no secret to the locals. Business was quite brisk and the quality of the fare made it evident why that was. Parking is a little tricky but not too bad to navigate. There is some street parking but one of the pay surface lots or garages is probably the best bet. We spent $8.26 for two hours ($7 + fee) to park in the lot in front of the Bottleworks. It was a 3-minute walk. We were seated right away when we walked in. We were perhaps a little fortunate as I think next time I'd make a reservation. The one thing that was off-putting was the fact that they put a time limit on our meal. I thought I heard 90 minutes and my colleague thought 2 hours. We were not planning to be there any longer than that, but we all three thought that to be a negative. I understand why they do that, but they should re-think their approach to that policy. We chose to sit outside as it was a very nice evening. Their patio was nicely arranged and was a rather pleasant spot for a meal. Our server, Apple, did a good job taking care of us. The menu featured some excellent Thai and Southeast Asian choices. We started with the Spring Rolls which were wonderfully crispy and tasted very good. My colleagues had the Steak Drunken Noodles and the Chili Basil Pork and both returned good reports. I had the Penang Curry Chicken and was extremely happy with that. The spice level was perfect and it was quite tasty. Our final bill with food, drink, tax and tip was $101. At just under $34 per person, we were quite happy with the value. I'll look forward to returning.
BODHI lived up to its literal meaning, we experienced our awakening in the midst of our incredible meal journey! Establishments like BODHI highlight the true meaning of cuisine bridging together love and community - uniting people, sharing Thai cultural traditions and deepening human connections around a shared table whether in the dining room, the bar or their picture-esque patio! Jake was absolutely incredible. From our service to our desert we were left with full hearts (and of course tummies) for the duration of our trek home to Nashville. We of course had to order some cocktails, we ordered our birthstones or on their menu their collection from Gems of Siam "Black Star Sapphire" and "Ruby" The Ruby ended up being the star of the show! The most unique drink we both have tried! We have never experienced something quite like that! From the ruby chocolate swoosh with a boozy tropical gel to the coconut milk punch adding depth to the Song Cai Dry Gin I was left in awe. (Recommend a sip and then a bite of the chocolate to enhance the flavor profile) Our meals were created with such love. It was truly art. Played beautifully and tasted phenomenal. The noodles were light, fluffy, amazing. The Crab Puffs were incredibly light and delicate which gave me a new appreciation for them! I felt like I could devour them without feeling too full or guilty to finish my meal. The curry was spectacular. The spices, the aroma, the flavor profile everything was perfect. No notes. It's delicious. Each bite you understand why BODHI is a staple in the community. You taste their desire to make you happy. To fall in love again. Onto dessert! Salamat Cookies has always held a special place in my heart the moment I discovered them two years ago! As a Nashville resident, I have had their treats delivered to my door. To come to BODHI and to my surprise see Salamat on the menu could've have been a greater cherry on top. We ordered the Ube and Pandan blondies. The experience was put over the edge by the addition of a strawberry cold foam addition to the desserts. Even though we took our deserts to go they were packaged with care. Why will BODHI forever hold a special place in my heart and will always receive a visit or recommendation from me to anyone visiting, driving through or living in Indy? Simple. Love. Each bite you can taste the love that was put in. Every interaction from the staff from dining room, patio, to front of the house you feel the love. Every laugh, every clink of the glass you hear the love! BODHI was built on a strong foundation of love. Three generations of Thai women, three generations of true love, true grit, dreams coming true. (To those reluctant to give this place a whirl due to the time limit, my tip? Be mindful of how your time is spent. Of course be present with your family, friends, colleagues, guests. We were able to order 2 rounds of drinks, share an appetizer, delve into an amazing conversation, enjoy our dinner without rush AND order dessert, summing up our conversation in the allotted time. It's doable! There are also times where they may not have to strictly enforce, however if you know you like to spend more time on your meal and in conversation, try coming on a weekday or coming earlier! Peace Love and Hugs friends!)
I didn't know anything about Bodhi before my daughter took me for dinner for my birthday. We didn't have a reservation, so we lined up and waited outside. We were first in after all the reservations and we got the last two seats inside and sat at the bar The service was great, taken care of by the bartender. It was a treat watching her make the fabulous cocktails. We didn't not get an appetizer and glad we didn't because the entrees are filling. I had drunken noodles with chicken, my daughter had cashew chicken. Both were delicious!
My husband and I tried this restaurant for our anniversary, and it was the perfect date night spot! Though it was difficult to get in, we made a night of it by heading to a nearby bar while we waited. At the restaurant, I enjoyed the best mocktail I've ever had, and my husband had a delicious spicy marg. We loved all the gluten free options as well. The pad thai was worth the wait to get into the restaurant, and we will definitely be back to try other options on the menu!
2 years later and finally made it back to BODHI, once again 5 Stars!! Jack was our server tonight for our part of 6, and he was fantastic! Jack took multiple group photos for us, gave excellent menu recommendations and made sure we were well taken care of all through out our dining experience. Patio ambiance is nice, inside restaurant is beautiful! Fried Rice and shrimp is super flavorful would recommend trying it! I especially liked the tomatoes in it.
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.
In town on family business, for a couple of days, I was looking for someplace interesting for dinner on a Wednesday evening. It had been before the pandemic since my last time in Indianapolis and much has changed on the city's dining and drinking landscape. Following a recommendation from a bartender at Sundry & Vice, I made my way to BODHI. I didn't have reservations, which I'd strongly recommend, since the place was packed on Wednesday night before 6PM. Fortunately, I was able to snag a seat at the bar, which was ideal since I was dining solo. Upon scanning the hip, high-energy, yet petite dining room, I had a sense of deja vu about it before realizing that I had been in this space before back when it was Black Market. I started off with a cocktail from Bodhi's intriguing and expansive drink list, a 7 Realms of Happiness, made with Old Hamer Bourbon, Faccia Brutto Centerbe, Cappelletti amaro, saffron honey, and lemon. My thought was that it's their twist on a classic Whiskey Smash. It was bittersweet, yet balanced, and simply a delight. As for the food, BODHI's menu is concise hitting the most of the Thai food usual suspects. I had the Papaya Salad and the Shrimp Green Curry. The papaya salad came out first. I was pleasantly surprised by its plating, looking much more like an elaborate entree with its cashews, watermelon radish, and chicharrones than the humble side salad atop a leaf of lettuce or cabbage that I've usually received at virtually every Thai restaurant I've ever been. It was just a pretty plate as it tasted even better than it looked. It was fresh and flavorful as those flavors popped from the perfect balance of salty, sweet, sour, spicy, and funky. It was the best rendition of a papaya salad that I've tasted. My bowl of curry was no less successful in balancing those diverse Thai flavor profiles. Unlike some/many other curries I've had where it seems like a bowl full of sauce with bits and pieces of protein or vegetables, Bodhi's rendition achieved the perfect "solids to sauce" ratio. The shrimp were cooked to perfection and the curry itself was bold and bright on my tongue. It was a delicious spoonful. I loved it! For "dessert", I had a second cocktail, the Garnet, a booze-forward whisky drink made with Mars Iwai Tradition, Pinhook Rye, Akashi Ume Plum whisky, Veda Mushroom Liqueur, Balsamic Vermouth, celery & orange bitters, and topped with a Moon Smoke Bubble. It was very unique, tasty and satisfying, if not a bit difficult to describe. I would maybe compare it to an Asian-influenced Vieux Carre and I thought it was excellent. Service from Carli, the bartender, was stellar throughout my night as she was friendly, helpful and exceedingly outstanding in making my drinks. A definite rock star! BODHI was outstanding. I'm not sure how to best describe the place. Was it as an amazing Thai restaurant that also does incredible cocktails or an amazing cocktail bar that also does killer Thai food? Regardless, I could not have enjoyed my experience more. If/when I'm back in Indy, BODHI is at the top of my list for a visit!
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!
BODHI can be a little difficult to get into because of how popular it is. I was pleasantly surprised that it was worth the hype! The braised chicken yellow curry was divine. It is definitely a must try place in Indy.
We already knew there would be a huge line from word of mouth so we prepared accordingly! Arrive 20 minutes before opening & waited in a line of about 30ish people and waited another 15 minutes for a table which was already anticipated. I'm assuming to receive the best service and not over work their servers. Overall, this place doesn't need a long review, just a heads up for anyone who hasn't been there to expect a wait and understand that every minute is worth it. Ambiance was chill, and laid back which made for the perfect night out with my husband. We wanted to try every cocktail on the menu as they are unlike any other in the city. The food came out quick and it was amazing to say the least. This is an absolute MUST TRY in Indianapolis. Kristie was absolutely fantastic, too. We are already planning our return. Oh... and if you've never tried absinthe (like me) that stuff is no joke. read more

BODHI is such a gem in Indy! Everything from the food presentation to the flavors and cocktails is done with so much thought and creativity. We started with the papaya salad, which was fresh, bright, and perfectly balanced with a little crunch from the pork rinds on the side. The shrimp fried rice was loaded with flavor, light yet comforting, and beautifully topped with edible flowers and microgreens--it's the kind of dish you don't want to end. The cocktails were just as impressive. They're not only gorgeous but also layered with flavor. My Thai tea-inspired drink was creamy and fun with the little pastry on the side, and the craft cocktail had a smooth, balanced taste that paired perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is cozy but elevated--great for a night out with friends or a date spot if you want something special. Service was attentive without being overbearing. If you're looking for Thai-inspired dishes that feel modern and fresh without losing authenticity, BODHI is absolutely worth a visit. read more
I will always love bodhi, the food is always so good, and I love the portion sizes! The drinks are always amazing and so is the staff/ service. While they don't take reservations tables move quickly due to their seating policy. I have 0 complaints! read more

Beautiful location and absolutely divine food. I got the papaya salad (medium), and my one caveat with this restaurant is that the spicy levels are very inconsistent across dishes. I ordered medium, but it was definitely spicy. My partner got extra spicy, and it was significantly less spicy than mine. Outside of that, great service and incredibly tasty food! read more
Popular Thai restaurant and bar just off mass ave downtown. Great cozy atmosphere with both indoor and outdoor seating available as well as a spacious bar top. The pad Thai and drunken noodles were delicious. They have many vegan options and customize most dishes. They have a vast wine selection and really awesome cocktails. One important note is that they do not take reservations so you need to get there early. There will be a line forming outside before 5pm when they open. Awesome spot but can get very crowded with long wait times! read more

My coworker and I were in town on a business trip and highly recommended Bodhi to us. I was so excited, as a foodie, and in finding a highly visited/rated Asian place. We had really high hopes going in, and unfortunately we left quite underwhelmed. Place is beautiful. Reminded me of a New York restaurant. Food presentation was great! We ordered the papaya salad (not well balanced and bland), chicken wings (crispy, but dry and chicken was not well seasoned inside), pad thai (tasty but can use more acid), and pad ka prow (was okay, I prefer mine dry). I am an avid supporter of women-owned small businesses, and have a true love for Thai food (visited Thailand solely for their food), and we really wanted to like the place, but think there's some quality work to be done. Please do some QC on the food preparation and ensure that the true essence of Thai flavor shines through. read more

I want to give this place more of a 4.5/5!! Beautiful interior. great music. we got here at 430 on a sunday since they open at 5 and we were the first in line. i really enjoyed the spring rolls! they might have been my personal favorite. i split the coconut chicken soup and i enjoyed it. im not sure if i would get it again but i could really appreciate the flavors. i got a mild pad thai which was really good but also a bit too salty for my taste. our waiter was fantastic and everyone else had perfect dishes. we talked to a woman waiting outside and she said she and her husband drive down from terra haute just to eat here! the food does live up to that drive! read more

I wish I would've taken more pictures inside! If you're looking for amazing Thai food, drinks, service AND an intimate setting, look no further! Bodhi has moved to the top of my list of my favorite places! read more
Perfect way to ring in the New Year! Treated myself to a day out by myself. After exploring the State Museum for a couple of hours, I took my chances and ventured northeast on Mass Ave. fingers crossed for a table of 1. Instead of a table, I grabbed a seat at the bar & had a wonderful meal and outstanding service from Lane. Asking for recommendations, I just looked at him & said "yes!" Trusting his judgement was the smartest thing I've done all year. (Granted, it's 6pm on 1/1/25, but you get my drift!) Starting off with the pork skewer appetizer. 4 skewers- could have been a meal, with cucumber salad and spoon licking peanut sauce. I would absolutely order it again- but I'd probably share next time! That led me to a steaming hot bowl full of tender chicken, noodles, crunchy noodles & spicy greens. Holy hell, the flavor in this bowl is something I'll never forget and will quite possibly crave FOREVER! The entree could have very easily been shared as well. My only beef with BODHI? Where's the tasting menu? (And I say this with LOVE) Everything I saw brought out from the kitchen looked amazing and everything I ate was outstanding. I would totally do tasting menu! Excellent service, fabulous food, intimate atmosphere all contribute to solid 5 stars & recommendation. read more

Just an update to reiterate that this is one of our top two favorite Thai eateries in Central Indiana. From their thoughtfulness with allergies and veg/vegan options to the beautiful presentation of the food and drink. It's our go-to spot for date night and always a fun and tasty experience. So grateful to have this spot walking distance from home. read more

AMAZING! Cocktails were unique and fabulous Service was great , gave us amazing recommendations tailored to our likes. The owner Taelor was so kind and obviously cares about her business, very hands on and helping everyone. The overall experience was 10/10 Couldn't think of one thing that wasn't perfect. Only wish was that we had a restraunt like this near us. read more
Couldn't believe how busy it was on a Thursday! Unfortunately, this place still doesn't accept reservations, which is really a shame. Had to put name in and then go somewhere else to get a drink until 40 minutes when our table was ready. They don't really have any room at the bar either for people who are waiting for a table...would have rather stayed there for a drink while we waited for a table. Ordered the crab puffs, which were excellent. Then the drunken noodles with chicken, which was a very generous portion and I had a heaping full box of leftovers to take home. read more

I ordered the food to go. We had drunken noodles, spring rolls, chili & basil, and fried rice. The restaurant wouldn't pick up the phone at 5pm so came into the store and placed an order. Food got ready pretty fast so I would say service was good. The place looked bit small so wouldn't recommend a big group party. Takeout food was just ok. Our favorite was chili & basil. read more

My friends recommended Bodhi, but the only thing stopping me was the fact that there are no reservations and you would need to wait... However, I can now say it is WORTH THE WAIT! Everything we ordered was AMAZING. The appetizers and the entrees were flavorful and the presentation is so cute! The decor is very fitting for the ambiance they are going for and the staff is so attentive and prepared to explain the details of every dish! The portions are definitely generous and you can always enjoy the mass ave area while waiting. 100% coming back :) read more

Good food and service. The door can be realllllly crowded due to people checking in and trying to get a same day table. I wish they would make a bigger entrance or come up with a better flow for things. You have to make reservations a week before and they go QUICKLY! Moderate noise with great decor. Very friendly and informative staff. Food is on point every time! read more

The first time I went here was a Wednesday evening around 7:45 and we were told it would be an hr wait so we went elsewhere. I went back that Friday around 5:30 and it was again a 45 minute wait but I had more time to spare. After the wait we were seated outdoors where it started sprinkling and there is no awning or patio so thankfully it was only a sprinkle. The food was very much worth the wait. The Crab Puffs are the best crab rangoon I have ever had in my life! The Pad Thai was amazing. My date had the Yellow Curry and it was a little spicy so we traded that for the Fried Rice and that was delicious as well. If you're looking to visit make sure you have time to spare before you park and wait but its delicious and worth it. read more

I feel like I just got into an exclusive club every time I go to Bodhi! It's a perfect spot for date nights, hang outs and celebrations. The environment and decor is amazing. There are tons of quirky, cute, and fun drink options. The food is phenomenal. Be prepared for a wait as there are no reservations. No biggie though, we always plan to walk along Mass Ave and visit bookstores, shops, or even stop into Garage Food Hall or Gordon's Milkshake for a quick drink/treat while we wait for our main event! Also make this an adults only night as the establishment is 21 and up! read more

Double Date night at Bodhi was lovely. Our waiter was great. Very attentive and engaging. The place has a cool vibe. Note that they don't take reservations and you get a 90 minute max on your table. Fair rules to keep things moving and we had no problem being done right in time. Two of our party got Pad Thai (1 chicken and 1 tofu), another got the Steak Drunken Noodles and all were happy with their meals. I got the Ginger Chicken which was fresh and tasty. Including a picture of the gorgeous cocktail we got. It was as pretty as it was delicious. Only caution / portion sizes are huge. We all had to go boxes at the end so could have split entrees easily and that's without appetizers. read more

Bodhi has been on my to-visit list for as long as I've lived in Indy, so I finally made a trip on a Sunday evening after the Colts game. I arrived right at 5pm and was seated right away. Our waitress did a great job at explaining the spice variations of each dish (some dishes are defaulted at medium spice while others can contain no spice if you wish). I appreciated how many vegetarian options there were - almost every dish can be prepared with tofu as the protein. I ordered the tofu glass noodles. For an upper-scale Thai restaurant, I was expecting smaller portions - boy was I wrong! My noodle dish could have served two diners. The tofu was sauteed perfectly and wasn't soggy or too crispy. I do wish the glass noodles had a bit more oomph...maybe sesame oil? But I do love how they offer seasoning and chili oil on the side so you can season to taste. Bodhi definitely gets brownie points for their beautiful presentation. Each dish is colorfully decorated with edible flowers and herbal garnishes. I would love to come back to try more vegetarian options! read more

Hi Abigail,…
I really enjoyed our visit to BODHI recently! We visited on a Friday night and didn't have to wait too long (maybe 20 minutes) for a table. We sat outside on the most perfect summer Midwest evening! Service was great. Food was very tasty. I would come back again no question. I enjoyed the spring rolls and the pad Thai (mild). I also had a really nice glass of French rosé. Everyone enjoyed everything that we ordered and those of us with the pad Thai definitely had leftovers! read more
This is probably my favorite restaurant in Indianapolis!! Everything about it is wonderful, but the food is just next level. There is so much depth to the flavors and everything we've gotten during our two visits has been delicious. The Massaman curry is especially good, but I don't think you can go wrong with anything. Our service was also great. The waiter had great recommendations and got me an off-menu cocktail when I told him what types of flavors I was looking for but couldn't decide. I loved sitting outside. The indoor area was a little dark, but was very cute if that's the vibe you're going for. read more

In case you're looking to expand your palate and experience one of Indy's best restaurants, seriously consider Bodhi as your next option. The vibes are so unique, think urban romance meets Thai fusion (I could have sat at the bar for hours just to be in that environment - heads up they have a two hour limit so that's a no-go and also means they're THAT good). Literally ANYTHING you order will blow your mind but I highly recommend the Pad Thai. If you indulge in libations, their menu is unlike any other and again, you won't be disappointed by anything you choose. Or surprise yourself and do bartenders choice. read more

Cute restaurant vibes, the plating is all very pretty and nice too. The cocktails are unique from anything you can get anywhere else. I got the Tom Kha Chicken Coconut Soup, with medium spice, and the spring rolls and they were so delicious. The staff was very attentive and had super chill vibes. It is a bit pricey but it is worth it if you want to treat yourself to a unique and delicious experience. read more
FINALLY made it to Bodhi!!! The hour wait was definitely worth it! We were seated outside, where the vibes in the evening were amazing!! Order: Crab puffs - 10/10 Spring rolls - 7/10 (lacked flavor) Drunken noodles - 10/10 Cashew chicken - 9/10 Be careful with the spice level because they are not messing around. We got spicy thinking it wouldn't be that spicy but man it was SPICYYYY!!!! Overall, the food and ambiance were amazing here. Definitely recommend this place. Perfect for a date night! read more

We came to Bodhi yesterday with a group of friends and were excited to enjoy a night out together. While the food took quite a long time to come out, around 35-40 minutes, even our server acknowledged the delay, and we appreciated that honesty. We were in good spirits and chose not to make a big deal out of it. Thankfully, once the food did arrive, it was absolutely delicious. The vibe was great, and we felt like we were settling into a fun evening. Toward the end of the meal, I ordered another drink, and we all paid our bills. Just a few minutes later, a man approached our table and asked us to leave so they could turn the table over. At that point, there was no crowd waiting, and there were even a couple of empty tables around us. I hadn't even finished my drink. It left a sour note on an otherwise enjoyable experience. We weren't lingering for an unreasonable amount of time, and it felt unnecessary and unwelcoming. The food and service were solid overall, but that abrupt interaction really shifted the energy. A little more grace would've gone a long way. No one in our party will ever be returning. read more

Easiest 5 star review ever. I'm going to be honest, when we first walked in, I thought it was going to be another one of those places where the vibes were good but good was mid and expensive. I COULDN'T HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG. It was delicious. The chicken was so incredibly tender, and the flavors were phenomenal. We were on a bit of a time crunch because we had somewhere to be after, but the waitstaff was incredible. Very welcoming and friendly. Definitely coming back! One thing I wish they had was a mocktail menu. I loved their theme of sustainability :) read more

Know before you go: 1. Now taking reservations. Deposit required and that credit card will be charged. Maybe this is spelled out on reservations but we tried to take our son out for his birthday and as he placed the reservation his card was partially charged. 2. Vegan options! One dish a bit confusing as listed vegan yet under a section with shrimp paste that stated no modifications allowed. Did not get that clarified. 3. No desserts- at least we were not offered any 5 stars for yum yum vegan food with on point presentation, flavor, plentiful and temperature hot. Loved the space even if a bit tight. Service both somewhat underwhelming and intrusive. They must need those plates back quickly! In and out in 65 minutes- would have preferred a bit more leisure time for this celebration. read more

Easily my favorite restaurant in all of Indianapolis. We popped in on a Wednesday night around 6:30, and not surprisingly, they are pretty busy on the inside, and only had outside tables. No worries as it was a nice day out. The server quickly greeted us, and got our food and drink orders. The service was great all evening- never had to ask for drink refills and the food came out in a reasonable time. I started off with the Kinnaree cocktail. One word I would use to describe it was strong. Had a good mix of flavors in it and the presentation was great. We started off with the spring rolls. They were perfectly crispy, with the inside full of flavor. The sweet plum sauce included with them added a nice depth of flavor. Again, well presented as well. I had the braised chicken yellow curry. Oh my gosh- I'm writing this review days after eating here and now it's all I can think of. It's packed full of flavor, and had a nice spice to it. The chicken it was fall off the bone as well. This is one of those places I think I could eat at everyday of my life and never get bored of it. Can't wait to return. read more
Sadly, I just made it to Bodhi for the first time last week. I have been missing out! Everything we ordered was amazing!! We started out with the spring rolls and wings, both were delicious. For my entree I ordered the Braised Beef Massaman & Naan, and O M G, it was delicious!!! I ordered a side of rice too. I was so satisfied with my meal choice! As a note, each table has a time limit, so be mindful of that so your experience isn't cut short. Can't wait to come back and dine in soon! read more

Is this place good for teens, or is this a +21 establishment?
It's 21 and over 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!
