Ended up getting the Phool Makhana Bhel (roasted lotus seeds) as a crunchy, mildly spicy appetizer, which was delicious, and a generous portion. (Deeply flavorful spices, wonderful crunch.) Went with the dal (yellow lentil soup) and ghee-free crispy methi roti (fenugreek leaf spiced flatbread) for my main -- both were deeply satisfying and powerfully flavorful, as well as very filling. My friend's goat biryani was apparently terrific (according to her); we ate a pile of food, but still ended up taking containers home. For the record: medium spice was juuuuuuuust right -- didn't make the eyes water, but had a mild bit of a bite. Super interesting menu, even for vegans! Will have to try dinner here in future.

The biryani and mango lassi were both tasty.

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.

I do not like to give poor reviews to business, but Amber Indian Restaurant does deserve to be…read moregiven a review: 1) I ordered half of Tandoori Chicken which was undercooked (raw in the middle of the chicken pieces). If it was cooked in an authentic tandoor oven (900degF), it would have been cooked properly. This is not an authentic tandoor chicken and it should not be advertised as such. I had tandoor dishes in India and this dish does not resemble the real tandoor cooking; 2) I called the restaurant to give them my feedback about the Tandoor Chicken and get my refund. They refused to give my refund back on my credit card. I did not want to get the credit note from this company given my present experience. They found every excuse under the sun why they could not refund the money to my credit card. This is sharp practice which should not be allowed; 3) I spoke to one guy from the restaurant and he said that he will connect me to their manager to resolve this issue, then he put down the phone on me. When I rang couple of minutes back another guy said that their manager left for today. I could not check it but it was a lie. All in all my experience was very poor with this restaurant. This restaurant should not be allowed to trade from the point of view of food safety and their trading practices. I will be taking my experience to the Indiana Department of Health (IDOH) and Indiana Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division (IAGCPD).

DISHONEST INDIAN…read more Paid for gift certificates that were valid through December 26 and purchased under written terms that specifically listed December 24 and December 25, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, as holiday exclusions. Nothing stated or implied that an entire surrounding week would be treated as a holiday. Despite this, staff at Honest Indian Restaurant refused to honor the certificates on December 23, arbitrarily claiming the entire week was a holiday. That claim directly contradicts the written terms at purchase and improperly rewrites the conditions after payment was made. Treating the entire week as a holiday effectively renders paid gift certificates null and void while still valid, which is deceptive and unacceptable. This refusal was escalated to the manager, who upheld it. December 23 is not a holiday. Businesses do not get to invent exclusions after the fact to avoid honoring money already paid. After driving over an hour with my entire family, we were forced to leave without redeeming funds we had already purchased. I will not return and do not recommend this business. They are anything but Honest Indian. More like DISHONEST INDIAN.

If you're a meat-eater, going to an all vegetarian place might feel like you're going to have a limited food experience. Although here, it's quite the opposite. The food is quality, and the menu has so much variety. I dined in with meat eaters, and they didn't feel limited at all and enjoyed the food just as much as me. Firstly, the service was great. Food came out fast and everyone was friendly. They are happy to answer your questions and give more details on their food offerings. Now for the food, I have had a lot of dosas in my day and the Dabang Dosa was a new great find. It was stuffed with fresh sliced vegetables, served with sambar, coconut chutney, and tomato chutney. It was so crispy and airy, I could have eaten a whole dosa on my own. The Veg Hakka Noodles were flavorful. An unassuming dish that we all agreed is easy to crave. The grilled aloo veggie sandwich with cheese was stuffed with flavorful spiced potatoes, and they added cucumber and tomato, balancing out the textures and flavor well. The outside was not greasy and overly buttered too, which was nice to see, compared to others I've had in other places. The ras malai tiramisu is a combination of great desserts that can already stand-alone, but together, it was an indulgence. The cardamom was singing in it. There is much more to the menu I would like to try. They also have chaat, idli, uttapum, dosas, pulav, pizza, curries, other indo-Chinese dishes, pav bhaji, sandwiches, and drink options. I prefer the variety here over the other restaurant menus typically dominant in curries, breads, and rice.

We were seated immediately and were told we could go up for the buffet. They had an assortment of Indian foods to try.

I was looking for a pillowy soft garlic bread, but instead it was thin and crispy like a cracker and no garlic. And the only option for dessert was the rice pudding.
