    Buffet - chicken lollipop, fried fish, chicken reshami kebab, mutton rogan josh , chettinad chicken, naan
    Apurva C.

    Even though I don't live in Indianapolis anymore, I try to find time for an annual pilgrimage to India sizzling's lunch buffet on one of my visits to the city. They have one of the among the most satisfying and broad Indian buffet offerings outside of Chicago in the Midwest. Plan to be at the buffet with an empty stomach that's growling because there's just too much to choose from! There's a dosa station to custom make dosas the way you want - a masala dosa for me. Their naan is perfectly smokey and served at the table as soon as you start. The curries all have unique flavors , meaning they haven't been made from a single curry base. The goat rogan josh is perfectly cooked with the mutton turning out very tender and oozing with flavor. The gobi Manchurian batter tastes very different from the chicken 65 - which is what one would expect from an authentic Indian restaurant that cares about the food it produces. The chicken 65 is bone in and must try if it's there. Note that you probably won't find butter chicken at the buffet. The biryani whether it's vegetarian, chicken or mutton is amazing. On the vegetarian side, there are regional dishes such as rasam, sambar or potato variyal. There's puri Bhaji and chaat. The service is very attentive. The restaurant is busy with tables and buffet lines filled with families and people of all kinds. You'll leave in a food coma and with a feeling that few other Indian restaurants are going to match the experience you've just had here.

    Dosas at this place were AMAZING! They came, fast and fresh and tasted very good. The dosa maker even gave me a spoon of Nutella.

    I've been to Bawarchi in Indianapolis a few times now and have tried a good mix of their dishes…read more The place has plenty of seating and the service has always been fast. The Vijayawada Chicken 65 Biryani was really good. It has great flavor, though the chicken quantity felt a bit less compared to the rice. Their salt & sweet lime soda was also nice and refreshing. On another visit, we tried both the veg and non-veg thalis. They were decent, not amazing, but good enough. The portions were huge. Honestly, they could reduce the biryani rice in the thalis and just offer refills to avoid food waste. My absolute favorite here is the juicy chicken mandi. I've tried mandi at a few places in the US, and this is one of the best I've had. The chicken is flavorful, the portion is great, and the rice is super aromatic. It comes with yogurt sauce, curry sauce, mayo, and veggies. It's only available on weekends, but it's definitely worth it. Overall, solid service and some standout dishes. I'd definitely come back for the Mandi.

    Ate here years ago when they first opened and came back to try their Thursday evening buffet…read more Service was great, and everyone was very nice. Lots of options, but wish the food was warmer. The food was okay, not the best Indian buffet I've had. It was good for $20, but probably would not crave it. Lots of seating inside, and they make fresh dosa. There's a free parking lot right in front of the restaurant.

The aunty there was very nice and provided us info on the dishes. We enjoyed our delicious homemade butter chicken with chapatis.

    okay guys.. so it's not a restaurant but a little store front almost like how most Chinese take out…read moreis only indian food cute lil mom and pop vibe tho! nd when i tell you Its the best indian food i have ever tried,, the owner is so friendly and welcoming and will answer all and any of your questions what i think really makes this place thi is its just him and his wife making the food no chef so in his words "it's all home made home cooked" i had the butter chicken and garlic naan the chicken pieces were nice sizes and very tender the sauce was to die for way better then most places i've been it was very flavorful and thick not runny like some places. the garlic naan was very flavorful, hit and crispy still by the time i got it home. this place is not talked about enough i didn't even know it existed!! I was also given a cup of chai tea and a couple samples while I waited for my food.
