Today was our very first time trying, India bistro. Wow!! This is the best experience that my wife and I have had at a restaurant ever! The owners made us feel like we were eating in their own home. We will definitely be back as the food is great and the customer experience was unmatched. Many vegetarian, and pescatarian options that can even be made with a Korean twist. Incredible! read more

My food SUCKED! I have been to lots of Indian places and this has been my worst experience by far. The chicken tiki masala tasted like canned tomato soup. I usually take the leftover sauce to go but I was struggling to eat it with naan and rice. Speaking of, the naan was dry, not buttered. The rice was just...rice. If I had one word to secretive this place it's BLAND. $14 down the drain. I am frankly shocked this place has as good as reviews as it does. If you want some of the best Indian food, go to chapati. A few dollars more but 10000x the quality. read more

India Bistro-Goan - Chicken Tiki Masala - Indian Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

Tandoori chicken was pasty and bland. It's under new ownership don't go not the same :( What upsets me the most is it used to be good under old ownership. If you ask me they should start over on reviews and all the old reviews should not count. When you took over you took over a reputation but not the flavor of the food and to top it all off they forgot three out of the four orders of samosas. read more

Yum yum and yum. We started our meal w the spring rolls. They came w two sauces the green one was spicy and the tan was sweet. They were both very good. Both my husband and I got two cauliflower meals. Mine was #65. It was soooo good. We both got mild spicy but his seemed to be a bit more on the spicy side. The meals are served w jasmine rice which is cooked to perfection. The cauliflower w both our meals was so tender you could just cut it w a fork. We got one Taj Mahal beer that was $6.99. It was a large beer but nothing special tasting. The naan is an extra charge but worth it. Many different types but we went for the garlic. Overall the food is great. The restaurant is clean and the staff is attentive. Option for meat lovers, vegetarians and vegans. read more

Now I remember why I stopped going to this place. The people, restaurant and ambience might be great however the food was not good. Either too much salty or no salt at all; too oily or no oil at all. The packaging for delivery or takeout is terrible. All the food spilled in bag. Definitely don't recommend this place for Indian food. Not going there anymore. Oh and the price is too expensive! read more

Don't waste your money if you are looking for authentic India food. They only serve extremely blend and tasteless Indian food for Americans . Owner told me as we do not get many Indians we serve Americanized version of Indian food. Deserves a much lower rating than 1 start read more

We got carry out from India Bistro. The food was hot, well-spiced and was ready on time.

India Bistro deserves 10+ stars. My husband and I have ate here a total of 5 times and every single time the food is the same delicious goodness. The food feels like a warm hug and the staff gives off the same vibe. There is no other restaurant like it. Please give these lovely people your business. You will NOT regret it. read more

I've updated my review for this particular restaurant. It was previously owned by other people who's prices on each item was outrageous and did not justify for the quantity or it's flavors. The new owners are super humble, generous in portion and reasonably priced. I've already returned far more times than my wallet has allowed but am hoping they stay in business for a long time. You won't regret this place! Please be patient with service, it's just family working here and they are doing their honest best. Every meal is always superb! read more

The food here is filled FULL of flavor. They will accommodate all levels of desired spicy (because the flavors are amazing but I have to lower the level lol). And regardless of how busy the restaurant is, the service is ALWAYS superb. Pad Thai is my ABSOLUTE favorite. For your next meal out, GO HERE and enjoy a truly mouth watering meal and experience. read more

This place is AMAZING. You walk in and you're greeted by the friendliest staff. Their food is amaaaaazing. I come here probably too often. It's my go-to. They know me by name. And I know the menu by heart. read more

Haven't been impressed with the Indian restaurants in The Indianapolis, but I am surprised this place is rated so highly. Pros: - good parking options - nicer and fresher decor than other Indian restaurants in the area. - friendly staff that try hard Cons: Food was meh. Really not impressed. Below average in my opinion. - vegetable biryani- good (nice flavour and good amount veg) - butter chicken - not nice. Tasted like cream and ketchup with chilli pepper. - Veg Korma - not nice. Didn't rate like Korma at all. More like a variation of the butter chicken sauce. Had large chunks potatoes and didn't have ingredients per the menu (e.g. raisins). Seems they just give you whatever - chicken masala - average flavour, just over salted. Chicken quality questionable. - pop arrived with a dirty glass. I feel sad for the other reviewers that think this place is good. They clearly haven't had real Indian food. read more

I would give it 2 stars. The people here are nice and they're sure proud of their food, but other than the Naan, the food's just ehh. Bland, tasteless, boring ehh! Don't know for sure, but I think the butter chicken was Campbell's tomato soup and milk. And the paneer in the palek paneer might have been foam rubber. And did I mention...no spice whatsoever...and I'm not talking about heat just flavor. read more

I enjoy this spot. I have always had a good experience here and today was no exception. The portion sizes are fare and the price is just right. Tikka masala is my choice of the many options they have. Combined with samosas and garlic naan, the meal was excellent. read more

I ate a goat, and I liked it! Oh my goodness. After trying to get into Bru and failing miserably (they had over an hour wait time), we went back to an old favorite, India Bistro. I had been curious about trying goat for a while. I finally was ready to take the plunge. I am so glad I did! I had the goat mughlai, and it was amazing! It is goat in this creamy mushroomy broth that you pour over your rice. Oh my goodness! What took me so freaking long? If you have ever been curious about trying it, go for it! Trust me! It is tender, juicy, and full of flavor. It's not gamey or gross. My husband even enjoyed what little of a bite I would give him. Our server was great. The owner/manager? came around two or three times to ensure that everything was to our satisfaction. That was so awesome. I love it when management takes an active role. Everyone here was super friendly. There is a reason they have a near-perfect rating on Yelp. read more

See all

Don't pass this place by. Great Indian food. Family restaurant with friendly and informative front staff. If you aren't familiar with Indian food they will help you. We loved everything we ordered! Lamb saag was outstanding! Chili paneer for appetizer. A chef's special and mango custard for dessert. Nice and cooling on a hot day. This place is a must try. And you will be back. It will be a regular place for us! read more

If you want Indian food this is the place to go. You cannot beat the price nor the quality of food/flavors you'll find here and super awesomely nice owners/service to match. It's easy to miss this quiet little place nestled in a strip mall of Perry Road but if you know where to find it you're in for some really good food. I come here about twice a month for the lunch buffet. They usually have 6-8 dishes and 2 desserts. The food is always hot and flavorful. It is served on a compartment plate which some might find unusual. As for me, I don't like my food to touch so I love the plates. I wish more buffets had them. The food is placed on the plate by the owners behind the counter so there is not yucky germs from everyone like normal buffets, which I'm totally cool with. My only wish (not complaint) is that I wish there were refillable fountain drinks. As a Pepsi drinker my only option is a can Pepsi. read more

Love, love, love this place. I especially enjoy coming here for lunch because I can get the cafeteria-style buffet with tons of variety. The complimentary naan is always fresh and delicious. For around $8 bucks it is the biggest bang for your buck and it never gets too busy. If dining in my favorites are the palak paneer and the tikka masala. Service is always friendly and inviting. All in all, a fantastic place if you love Indian food. But also a great place to be introduced to it. read more

India Bistro-Goan - Rice, chick peas, tikka masala, peas & paneer dish, cauliflower & potato dish - Indian Near Me - Plainfield, Indiana

One of the worst Indian food I ever ate. I took a take out and ordered chili chicken and mushroom mutter. There was only few pieces of chicken strips in the chili chicken, and it was filled with lots of onions and vinegar. The mushroom mutter had probably 6 to 7 slices of mushroom, and all the peas in it were raw. Both dishes had noticed and was a complete rip off. The food was not edible and the prices they charge for such a shitty food is astonishing. read more

My favorite place to eat ever since it opened! Amazing naan, entrees, service, and location. read more

This is the real deal! Downtown Flavortown. Had a great cauliflower appetizer and Chicken Vindaloo. Both were awesome, as was the Garlic Naan. The couple that runs this place are both warm and friendly. This will be a regular stop on my frequent visits to Indy. read more

For the two years we have been coming here, we have no bad food or experienced anything bad. The food is consistently hot and fresh. Absolutely worth the visit. read more

Love the food! We drive here from greencastle just because we think about that butter chicken!! Best butter chicken around for sure. The garlic naan is flaky and wonderful!! read more

Indian bistro is one of the best Indian restaurants out there. This is our go to Indian restaurant. The paneer Tikka masala, the chicken korma and spring rolls are all delicious and the medium spice has a nice kick of heat. The owners are super friendly and the environment is warm and inviting. Definitely recommend for dine in, carryout, or delivery. read more

Indian food prison style. First time visiting and tried the counter style buffet on school/prison cafeteria style trays. Buffet was very limited. No tandoori chicken! Chicken tikka masala looked like canned chicken in tomato soup. Very watery. The restaurant itself was nice and the staff were friendly. I probably won't ever be back though. read more

Chicken Tikka masala is delicious, a bit expensive and wish it would come with more rice. Other than that the food and service are great.

SO good! The owner cooks and his wife is the waitress and she is so unbelievably kind. The seating area itself is pretty chilly in the winter so wear an extra layer but once you get the food, you'll warm right up. It always comes out very hot and fresh. They offer 3 levels of spicy so you can choose whatever works for you. read more

I don't know why I keep forgetting this place exists in Plainfield...but I wish I wouldn't, it is SO GOOD! My husband and I have been here a couple of times now and each visit has been great. We've tried a few dishes, their chicken tikka masala is a go-to along with their garlic naan! Mmmmmm We've also tried a vegetarian dish and a lamb dish - everything has been so flavorful and good size portions, we always leave with leftovers that re-heat well. We also get their samosas to start and they are so tasty, great flavor and perfectly cooked. We like that the serving is just two so we don't eat a ton before the actual meal. This last visit we had a mango lassi and it was delicious! I can't recommend this place enough if you're craving Indian or want to try something new! The staff is friendly and helpful too if you have any questions. We'll hopefully be back very soon! read more

I love Indian food and their food is quite tasty, the staff is friendly, food is always hot and ready

Very good food. Very picky on where I get my Indian food but saw that place was highly rated. I tried it out and was back within a week to try more. Family owned and very nice people. Highly recommend read more

Some of the best Indian I've ever had. Wonderful service and kind staff. We went for the lunch buffet and the owner was super helpful and accommodating. We went back again a few weeks later and the food was top notch again. We will return. read more

Good Indian food. I'm vegan. My partner isn't. They have a good sized menu with a variety of vegan choices. I'd definitely come back. The samosas were piping hot and tasty. The roti was crispy. The dal was amazing and my partner said that the chicken biryani tasted just like the stuff made by Indian friends. The place is a little small with a very interesting decor. If I'm ever in Plainfield again, I'll definitely go back. read more

We stopped in randomly while driving through the area. This restaurant was a gem to find! The owners are so very kind. I have never had people take such an interest in our family while serving us. They treated our kids like gems and gave them the sweetest little treats! The service was just incredible. The food was a whole different level of incredible. The butter chicken and spinach creamy chicken was amazing! The mango lassi and chai were also super tasty! If we ever make it to the area again, we will for sure be back!! Thank you for serving us so well!! read more

This is my go-to restaurant for Indian food. I love the naan-it's chewy and warm. The masala dishes are my favorite, as they are just thick enough, very flavorful, and you can vary your spice level depending on your mood. Everything I've had here is great and the staff couldn't be more accommodating and friendly. Prices are very reasonable, as a take out order will last you two meals at least. Wish I had some right now. Try it!! read more

I would give ten stars if I could. The first time I came here I had only tried Indian food once and it was years ago at some forgettable place on the east side of Indy, I think. Wasn't impressed. But I wanted to try again and I am SO glad I did. I have found my favorite dish, Chicken Korma. With the delicious garlic naan, the entree is enough for two or, even better, leftovers, and just as yummy the next day. I love the creamy sauce, and the cashews are a surprising and welcome addition. The spiciness is just right. And the chicken! I have been off chicken the last couple of years and normally have to be in the mood, but THIS chicken is perfection! Each chunky bite-size morsel is, as my mother-in-law used to say, "tender as a woman's heart." Aww, but it's true. I have never had such chicken! My only regret is that there isn't a branch of India Bistro in Indy since I don't get to Plainfield often enough. Maybe they will deliver? Hmmm . . . Oh, and before I forget, the staff is just great. So welcoming and polite! read more

Was looking for a new place to try and stumbled across this gem. First time trying India food, from the minute we walked in it felt like we were home. The atmosphere and environment was unreal, food was quick and delicious, and we felt very comfortable with the menu/food after the owners wife helped us get an understanding of everything. Definitely will be going back for the food and the good vibes. read more

One of my favorite places in Plainfield!! The food is delicious! I always get the chicken vindaloo (spicy) and garlic naan! And don't forget about mom's spring rolls. If you're lucky enough to try them, you definitely should. Also, the ownership is amazing! I always feel like family any time I come in. Love love love India Bistro! read more

Great service! We had multiple employees come to our table to greet us and ask how we were doing. Everyone seemed friendly and cheerful, and the food was so good! Stopped by on our way to the Plainfield Aquatic Center with my husband and toddler. My son loved the Chicken Briyani. I had the Saag Paneer and Aloo Mutter, both were delicious. The prices were so reasonable that I opted for two dishes! So much food that we will be taking some home. No complaints here. This was our makeshift anniversary dinner, and we had a wonderful experience. We will definitely be back next time we are on this side of town. Only wish we lived closer to India Bistro. Would stop by weekly! read more

Great service inside or for take out. Online ordering is great. Delicious naan that I live for. My favorite is the garlic, but I get the bistro basket with all three types pretty regularly. I love their chicken tikka masala and everything I've had there is food. They've always been good at making things mild for my wimpy butt. I can't say enough good things about this place. read more

Veggie korma is so very good. Something about their chicken tikka masala made me think it was the BEST I've ever had. They were generous with their delicious naan also. Their owner/waitress was extremely nice and fun to talk to. I will be going back again and again. read more
