I moved to Indianapolis a couple of years ago and found Spicy Doner on DoorDash. I was very…read moresurprised by how amazing the food was and have ordered from them many times since my first order. It had been a while since I last ordered, and today I was craving chicken tikka masala. I placed my usual order, and saying I was disappointed would be an understatement. Look at the salad photo I attached and compare it to the photo on the menu. They are not even close to being the same, and what I received was quite disgusting. The plain naan bread was unusually greasy. After being disappointed by the salad and bread, I do not know why I was surprised when the main dish was lacking as well and tasted nothing like my previous orders. DoorDash still lists the restaurant as Spicy Doner, but Yelp now shows the restaurant name as Punjabi. I can only assume the restaurant is under new management due to the name change and the dramatic decline in quality. Hopefully, I can find an alternative restaurant soon because I will not be ordering from here again.

Then once restrictions eased in 2021 I tried to return and call in an order for my usual saves - Dosa and Chole + Bhature. The guy on the phone is like "we don't sell that". Wait huh?? "We don't sell South Indian food." He was super rude, and wrong as hell. All I can assume is a different family bought it but didn't change the name of the store. So yeah, with the whole no mask, no South Indian food, forget this place.

We went on a Friday night and I was super excited to try the buffet that I had heard so much about. Wonk, wonk no more buffet. I was super disappointed that I couldn't try lots of the delicious offerings. I ordered the chicken tikka masala and DH got the Sheekh kabob. The tikka was flavorful but the spices made my lips numb. A smidge hit. DH liked the kabob and the vegetables it came with had a nice acidic flavor and loved mopping the juice/sauce up with naan. They don't have a fountain for drinks and we didn't get ice for the drinks. Service was a little slow too. It's clean inside. I wish they still had the buffet but we will still be back to try other dishes.

Unfortunately, there is NO BUTTER for toast or cooking. All entries are cooked in oil or a butter/margarin mix! I was hoping to get a side of vegetables or the spinach, but that is cooked in the flat iron where they use canola oil. So I could only Eat poached eggs with dry toast for $8.99. It should have been $6.00, but the waitress charged for an egg entree instead of the sides only. For me a return visit for dry toast and eggs is not worth it. If you don't mind canola oil or margarine, that have lots of interesting options.
