The wonderful buffet at the Indian Bistro on Fridays and Saturdays. Everything was delicious. Exceeded expectations!

The Indian Bistro on Ohio Pike near I-275 is a small, laid back casual restaurant run by some very pleasant people. We stopped in on a Saturday afternoon for their lunch buffet and found the restaurant very clean and bright inside. (So, my dear readers, just ignore the review below that will tell you otherwise.) This was a very nice dining experience. The buffet had a lot of Indian food options and our group probably sampled most of them. Virtually every type of food offered was top drawer....delicious. I would argue that the naan was the only item I experienced that was not excellent but merely fairly good. Everyone in our party left feeling full and well pleased. Rate our dining experience this afternoon around Four and a Quarter Stars...meaning very good. Loved it.

I never realized there were so many Indian restaurants in and nearby Anderson Township until I moved closer to the area. And thus far, I've had great experiences at each one. This particular one is definitely no exception. My boss and I decided to try this place out of lunch on a Thursday. The place itself definitely isn't huge but has plenty of seating. The owners, an older couple, are very polite and soft-spoken. Their menu is full of what you'd expect from an Indian restaurant but has a few items with a twist. One of which we tried on a whim. It was the special vegetable samosa. We ordered that along with some keema samosas. The keema samosas were packed with spicy beef goodness and went great with the accompanying sauces (especially the red one). The special vegetable samosa was unique, like a smashed vegetable samosa, loaded with chicken peas. It was very tasty too. After that, we ordered the chili chicken and chicken vindaloo along with some garlic naan. Their spice level is 0-4, so we did both dishes at a 2. We hardly waited long at all until both were ready. Everything was excellent, especially the chili chicken. The veggies were cooked just right so they kept a nice crisp crunch. Overall, I'd say we were both impressed. It's hard to pass up good Indian food and this place definitely makes it good. Now I just need to decide which one here is my favorite. I may have to bring my lady here to help me decide.

We had a large party of 19 people for a graduation party. We called a week ahead to let them know we were coming and we couldn't have been happier. The staff was amazing as usual the food was beyond. Incredible! There are no words for how accommodating and friendly everyone was. I'm so glad we chose Indian bistro for our family get together. As usual we will be coming back. This is one of our absolute favorite places and our favorite favorite favorite place to get Indian food.

I'm honestly not an Indian cuisine expert because I literally order the same two things which are the chicken tikka masala and garlic naan. These two items are just my favorite and I can't help but order the same stuff haha Anywho, I was craving chicken tikka masala and found this establishment because it was literally only four miles away. It also had pretty good ratings, so why not give it a go. We came here on a Friday night and it was fairly busy. Even though our food took forever to come out (looks like a small family business) - the food was worth the wait. The chicken tikka masala was really good and the garlic naan was so delicious. Love eating the leftovers the next day as well, so good!

Ordered takeout yesterday from this place for the first time. Delicious food and great service. We got the chicken tikka masala, chili chicken and garlic naan The chicken tikka masala was perfection. The chili chicken was a bit oily for my taste, but it is a stir-fried dish so I should've expected it. The garlic naan was chewy perfection. Mounds of perfectly cooked cumin rice came with the entrees. We will be back. Support your local mall businesses during this pandemic!

5* food, 3* atmosphere, 4*experience! My wife and came out looking for some great Indian Food and the yelp reviews have this one rated pretty high. I will agree with my yelping allies, the food is hands down amazing and very affordable. We ordered chicken tiki masala at a medium (#2) spice level; it had just enough heat that your mouth tingled but did not take away from enjoying the meal. Also, the garlic nan was fantastic! We could have gotten away with one order and shared but we doubled it just for the left overs. The down side to the restaurant is that the decor is awful and pretty bland to look at. The place was clean but the menus were pretty filthy and could use a good wipe down. Overall, I would be able to endure the looks of this place just for the food! My wife and I will certainly be back and my hopes are that maybe the owners will update the place a bit. Regardless, genuinely happy with our meal and can't wait to try more on the menu. Might have to go on a buffet day!

We ate a HUGE meal for 2 of us for $36. Today I'm sitting here eating leftovers and they're better than they were yesterday. They have a dinner buffet on some nights but you may want to call ahead to confirm if that's your thing. Also, they bring you those little crispy guys with the chutneys before the meal for free! Free indian food is my love language. If I would have known about this I would not have ordered the appetizer but it was only $4 anyways and super yummy and I'm stil giving this place 5 stars because my new year's resolution is to be more positive. read more

This is my go-to carryout Indian cuisine! The food is always made fresh and I don't know what super powers the containers they use possess, but the food stays stove top hot even 30 minutes later! I have not had the pleasure to venture out as the Aloo Matar, Chicken Tikka Saag and garlic naan are sooo good that we always order the same thing. One added bonus of doing carryout here is they usually include a few extra sides for free as a surprise when you get home. I don't know if they are just trying not to waste extra food that may be on the buffet or if they are trying to expose me to some new delicacies to try on a future visit, but either way, it's brilliant marketing! The staff is always friendly, the restaurant always looks clean and I have never had a problem with receiving the wrong order or ever being disappointed with my meal and we have been ordering from here for 4 or 5 years now. Do try them out, you will not be disappointed. A nice hidden gem in the Beechmont row. read more

There is not thing out of place in this small but excellent Indian buffet. Closed on mondays but lunch buffet all other days. Dinner buffet three maybe four nights a week. The only thing I can say bad about this place is that they don't put chicken vindaloo out enough, and sometimes the dishes get repetitive but it's probably cause I am there every week. read more

YES - 5 reviews! I am incredibly tough critic of indian restaurants, having grown up eating amazing food home cooked by mom. Most indian food at restaurants is in-authentic and bland. My mind was completely blown by Indian Bistro. Our first encounter was with catering for a party in our home. The food was good but the restaurant buffet was even better! I think this was as close as it's ever gotten to mom-cooked food at a restaurant for me. The spices were on point, the food wasn't heavily buttered and was packed with flavor. I can't wait to go back and order from the menu, but for now, I'm satisfied knowing there is a delicious place right up the street! read more

I never expected to find an Indian restaurant in Amelia that I'd fall in love with, but this place is fantastic. Until I found it, I'd only get Indian from Baba in Oakley. Glad I found this place. I've ordered it countless times on door dash now. The only recommendation I have though when you order, is that the spice level is heavy handed. I usually get a 5 or 6 of 10 & I order a 2 or 3 here. Excellent flavor. If you're an Indian fan, you'll be thrilled read more

Went for the first time to try the lunch buffet. The food was very good, for what was available. Everything was well seasoned with a better than moderate heat, did not find anything that would be considered bland. The only really down side to the experience is that the place is really small and the buffet set up makes it difficult to get to the plates then have to pivot to get to the food. When it gets busy you are literally standing in a crowd waiting your turn. Watch what you are charged for you meal. Sign on window says lunch buffet is $8.99, website says $9.99 and I was charged $10.99. At $8.99 a little high for Indian buffet lunch, at $10.99 overpriced. read more

So glad that they reopened. New location is ok, not as nice as the old but the food and service is still great. I like that they have kept a more authentic of India than most of the Indian restaurants in or near Anderson. Love not having to drive into Clifton to get our Indian food fix. We particularly like the saag paneer and the chicken makhani. My husband and I are chiliheads but find that usually getting a 2 (1-4 spice level) allows the great flavor of the spice mixes to shine. The special lunch buffets on Fridays and the weekends offer some great choices that you doen't always get at an Indian buffet. read more

It only took about 10-15 minutes for my order. I got the Lamb Saag at a level 2 and Chicken Tikka Masala at Level 3, plus both garlic and paneer naan. I enjoy spicy food, but opted for the low end because this was a new place for me and I was going off of the reviews I saw. The lamb had nice flavor but wasn't spicy at all. I would prefer a 3-4.

Carry out review only:…read more Easily placed our order online and picked it up at lunch time on a saturday. The ambiance is just like most other indian restaurants in a strip mall. Seemed clean. Service was friendly and accommodating. They even gave us a free dessert for having a large order (rice pudding). Chicken tikka was plenty of chicken breasts in a sauce comparable to buffalo. Pretty good. chicken biryani was flavorful and also had plenty of chicken chunks. Chicken shahi korma was delicious. I really enjoy the sauce (a bit sweet but also buttery curry). Chicken naan was great and you get so much with just one order. Definitely good value for the cost. Mulligatawny Soup was warm and delicious. I would definitely get it again. Neither of us like rice pudding but i did sample it and the flavor reminded me of chai.

I ate at this place for the first time since it was Klaire's years ago. I ordered the lunch…read morevegetarian thali. I thought the thali tray was very good! The 3 curries I chose tasted homemade and fresh, spice was on point, and the garlic naan was quite good. I was at first concerned by the $19 price point for the veggie lunch thali tray but it was HUGE! I think I'll get at least 2, if not 3 meals out of the it so I am fine paying a bit more than expected. Service was very friendly. I'd go back for sure. I hope they do well though, as I was the only customer in the restaurant at 2:45pm on a Saturday.

Very nice large place. Not busy in the afternoon but lots of take out orders waiting. We are not as…read morefamiliar with Indian food but the menu was large, the waitress was nice and the portions were large. Lots of rice comes with what we ordered. Also included with the meal was the flat bread. Indian food is very saucy. Hot level was one to six for curry items. A 3 level is not spicy so I played it safe. Lots of food as she kept bringing out dishes so we brought most home. If you like Indian food I highly recommend this restaurant. We got a take home menu so more orders to come.

So so delicious! Hit the spot for my Indian food craving. First off, the garlic nan was incredible…read more So fluffy, flavorful, and delightful. We ordered the saag choley, spice level 2. It was delicious and would order this again! We also ordered the chicken curry, spice level 3. This one had a kick to it (as someone who doesn't really do spice) but still very good. My favorite thing we ordered was chicken tikka masala. That being said, everything we ate was remarkable. The restaurant is clean and for a Saturday night they were pretty busy! I will be back!!

We have visited this wonderful restaurant and its loyal and gracious staff for many many years. We feel like we are family when we walk in the door, they go out of their way to make visitors feel at home. Their buffet is so fresh and varied and the ensure it is always filled with great food. For take out, their menu is extensiveand the service is just perfect. The chicken tikka masala is wonderful but I order something different for every takeout and have never been disappointed. read more
