I rarely get to go our for Indian food so I ordered a lot of food knowing I'd have leftovers. I started with the Chicken 65, medium spice. It was perfectly spiced and so crispy! For my entree I ordered butter chicken, medium spice and butter naan. It was silky, perfectly spiced and the chicken was so tender. The rice was perfectly cooked as well. For my glutinous amount of leftovers I received a dish or container for each item. I was so very impressed and cannot wait to go again!

Started with chicken momo, then had chicken korma and kadai chicken, with garlic naan. Everything was absolutely delicious and I would recommend it all!

Overpriced food and not enough. I ordered chicken curry…read more And flat bread. You would think they would give more than 1 roti with all that curry I ordered but no. 15 dollars for curry, for 3 small pieces of chicken. And 3 dollars for 1 roti. These people are the most cheapest and greedy people I've ever met. You goto any restaurant and order curry, they at least give you some rice but not this place. On top of that, I placed rhe order at 9 and it arrived at 10:40pm. They charged 11 ducks for delivery services. On top of the taxes and food price. I won't be ordering from here again.

I'm not exactly sure when the current owners took over, but I'm very happy they did. I wasn't sure the food could get much better, but we stopped in today for a late lunch/early dinner and boy we were impressed with the food! We sampled the Samosa Chat, Veggie chili momos, and chicken 65. The 65 was crunchy and had the perfect sauce. We asked for spicy and the momos really delivered (more on that in a bit). The chat is a favorite of ours since we discovered it from the old owners. It's crunchy, and just delicious. For the main courses today, we sampled the chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, aloo gobi, and palak paneer. Of course we also had some garlic and plain naan. All of it surpassed our expectations. In fact, the butter chick may just be the best we've had. For all of it, we asked for "spicy", since we weren't sure what system they used. All of the food had a nice heat, but we could have handled a bit more. I'd like to call out Krishna, our waitress. I wanted a sweet lassi, but she warned me that sometimes the yogurt can get sour, so I asked her to test it and if it was, bring me a mango lassi instead. We all ended up with the mango lassi, which was delicious. That kind of service will get us in the door, the food that came out will keep us coming back.

I asked my host what's good. He told me to try the biryani. I added samosas to it because I haven't had them in years. While I waited for my food, I noticed how beautifully decorated the restaurant is. The paintings of Bollywood folks are bright, colorful and fun. It makes you feel the warmth of the place. The music was modern Pop n B with a Bollywood slant. Very nice and soothing and relaxing. Before I knew it, my samosas were there. They were delicious, hot and filled with spice. Nice flaky crust with a flavorful, soft filling on the inside. The vegetables inside tasted fresh and they popped with sweet flavor. Then the biryani came out in a bowl. It was FULL, fluffy, smelled so good and was visually pleasing. It was served with a gravy and a yogurt sauce with veggies in it. I dug in and found this dish so amazing. Just enough spice to clear my sinuses without making my palate go numb. The chicken was tender and perfectly cooked. It was so much that I only got a quarter of it in me. Very much worth the price. Great value. The next time I get to Ankeny, I will be stopping here. It's too good to pass up! Thankful to have found it.

This is a soft four star review. Closer to 3.5-3.75. They have a few minor kinks to work out to…read moreget them up to a 4 or a five. As someone who hates their food touching, I thought their attempt at thali plates was humorous. They are the exact same lunch trays you found in your elementary school cafeteria, complete with a specific square for your carton of milk. I loved it, but I could see how some people think this could be tacky. When you enter and say you want the buffet, you're offered the choice of butter naan or plain naan. This comes to the table fresh; there were two of us and we got four pieces to share. I do not know if it was refillable or if you get more if your party is bigger. They also give you a large container of water for your table. They had a setup with about 12 different dishes; it looks like they might plan to expand the buffet at some point as the back row was all empty trays. The vegan/vegetarian dishes were segregated on their buffet line; the dishes with meat were on their own line. My vegetarian friend really enjoyed the dal and said it was some of the best he'd had. I had the karampodi chicken (a dry dish; its kinda like the gobi 65 appetizer), a chicken dish, some "kebas" that were pretty much plain chicken, rice, and the veggie fritters. Huge plus for having chai on the buffet along with galub juman! I had far too many of these. Minuses: They had raita which I love, along with a chutney. These were in bowls out in the open. These should either be kept over ice or in a chilled cooler, especially the raita. It looked like they didn't do a great job of refilling some of the dishes, I was disappointed they never refilled the fritters while we were there. It looked like they were trying very hard to keep up there. The lunch buffet I believe was $18.99+tax; I didn't pay for the meal this time. Again, soft four stars; will be back to try again shortly as well as add some exterior photos. Was surprised that no one else got to this yet.

Amruth took over a space that used to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants (Mazatlan) not far from where I live. I've been wanting to get there, but just hadn't made it yet. My birthday was a perfect excuse. Parking isn't an issue. It's in a small strip of businesses along Swanson and the lot is pretty big. I was greeted as soon as I walked in. I was shown to a table; my host also ended up being my server. The interior isn't fancy. The seating is a combination of booths and low top tables and chairs. The main seating is to the Right of the front counter as you enter. To the Left is a small area with a bar they are using for overflow and as a party room space. The menu is extensive and can be found online (https://online.skytab.com/bd3b12858938ae5724425b6f04ead3bf). I'd browsed it before arriving and pretty much knew what I wanted. My server took my drink order and brought a small carafe of water to my table. I ordered the Alfredo chicken 65 pasta (medium spice level) and that comes with garlic naan. It seemed a little unconventional... Pasta with Indian food...? But it's in their Amruth Specialty section and they wouldn't put something on on the Specialty menu if it wasn't good... Right? I also ordered a Masala chai. The pasta dish was served over a penne style pasta. Kind of a take on a cajun pasta with an Indian twist. Very good! I'd order this again and again...and again. The naan was fresh and tasted great too! Chicken 65 is something I've ordered as a appetizer many times so I had a pretty good idea of what I was getting. Interesting combination with the pasta and creme sauce... I will say I'm very glad I didn't order it at the hot spice level...the medium was lighting me up a little. And I don't shy away from heat... Lol My server checked on me every now and then and we chatted a little. I'd mentioned the spots I normally go to for lunch and their buffets. At Amruth they have an all you can eat dosa special on Thursdays (don't quote me on that, but I think that's what I read...call them and ask about it) and a buffet on Sundays. The Sunday buffet I am sure on... When we were talking he mentioned they offer 25-30 items on their buffet v. the 10 or so that other restaurants seem to offer. This will be something I have to check out! Prices are reasonable. I took care of my bill at the front counter when I finished my meal. They take cash or cards There is a small discount if you pay with cash. The portion of food I received ordering off the menu was huge and this would be a great place to bring a few friends and share dishes family style...! The customer service I had today was exceptional and the food was excellent. Definitely the caliber that makes me want to come back and check out some of the more traditional items on the menu! https://amruthindiangrill.com/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61557627782966
