The Monk's is an Indian fusion restaurant serving up things like traditional Indian favorites,…read moreChinese, and things like tikka pasta. When you walk in you're greeted by friendly staff and seated. The interior is causal and on a sunny day very bright with the large windows. They have a decent drink menu so you grab an Indian beer while you decide what to order. I decided to try the Manchurian noodles and green chili chicken (curry). It came out fast and I probably ate it even faster. The Manchurian noodles were way better than they should have been. They were savory, sweet and spicy. The star of the show was the green chili chicken though. If you like green chilis you have to try this curry. It's unique and full of flavor. I ordered it spicy but it was still on the mild side, so even if you are afraid of anything being too spicy this shouldn't kill your tongue. The naan was pretty standard that it came with, but the portion was the perfect size to match the amount of curry and rice.

While I realize their…read moreidentity is that they change their menu seasonally, we're simply disappointed that many of the things we have loved to order are not currently on the menu. We always enjoyed the blue cheese potatoes, gnocchi, and perogies, but in particular we very much miss the crab and roasted artichoke toast, which was unlike anything we have had anywhere else and may have been my favorite dish going anywhere. We are grateful at least that they haven't eliminated the pretzels, which are also unique from any other (although we miss the cheese ball it used to be served with). Will return the 5th star when they release my menu items that have been taken hostage.

I ordered the classic Ham & Biscuit Benny with an amazing homemade hash brown casserole. Amy got the tomato, spinach & feta scramble which was served with a generous side of fresh fruit and multigrain toast. We also tried Lib's amazing carrot cake, which is big enough to split. The atmosphere here is cozy and full of energy with a community table that's always fun to have a happy hour stop-over after work with your colleagues. If you haven't been in a while, check out Goodness Gracious again and I bet you'll come back for more very soon. I know we will! Cheers and my compliments to the chef and staff!

The atmosphere is a little loud but I think its the air condition unit. Service was fast. They allowed me to take my time and also answered any questions I had.

This was my first visit. There are a number of chicken options, so my husband picked up a 2-piece fried chicken meal that comes with 2 sides. The sides are from the in-store deli. The chicken is hot, fresh and juicy. The batter is crispy. The house coleslaw is light and fresh, without a ton of mayo. The roasted Brussel sprouts are fabulous. The meal came with a piece of fresh cornbread for only $7.99. What a deal! There were six fresh soups to choose from and I tried the Seafood Gumbo. The soup is really spicy (which I loved) with fresh okra and shrimp. The soup was pretty good for Indiana gumbo. They make burgers to order and have an expansive salad bar. The options are endless from the deli. Sandwiches looked amazing. The cafe is open seating with high ceilings. They were pretty busy during lunch hour. There is a water canister that was empty. We had to ask several times for the canister to be refilled and it was eventually filled. The staff is friendly and some were engaging. Most of the tables were clean. They have happy hour beer and app specials and even a trivia night. The food is reasonably priced with lots of options. The cafe is a great place to bring the family when you don't want to cook.

That's actually why I feel compelled to say something - during my visit, I saw an adult man berate a young hostess over the wait time. No one deserves to be spoken to that way, especially not a teenager doing their job in a high-pressure environment. Unfortunately, I've seen this kind of behavior more than once at restaurants, and it needs to stop. If you're frustrated, taking it out on staff is not ok. A little patience and basic respect go a long way. As someone who used to work as a hostess, I know how stressful those moments can be, and I really appreciated how gracefully the team at Juniper on Main handled everything. They deserve a lot of credit. Highly recommend this place, not just for the great food, but for the hardworking, kind staff who keep things running. If you are someone that can't control your temper and you take it out on unsuspecting people, you should order in. Your frustration doesn't give you the right to behave so awful.

We had the crab cakes and crab & artichoke dip for apps and our lunch entrees were the fried catfish sandwich with fries and the filet with mashed potatoes and collard greens. For bevvies, we tried their rosé and red zeppelin English ale. All of it, every bit and bite, was 10/10. Food breakdown: - Crab cakes: succulent lump crap meat within a lightly battered and flash fried coating. They come on a bed of arugula with a light dressing and dipping sauce for the cakes. Super yummy! - Crab & artichoke dip: ooey gooey deliciousness, perfect balance of cheese sauce too. You don't have to search for the crab or artichokes. And the fried naan chips were sliced long and thin, and could've been called naan fries actually. Perfect companion for the dip. - Fried catfish sammich: the piece of fish was huge and the batter was good. It came on Texas toast with fixins and tartar sauce. Won't lie, the only thing I wanted for was some hot sauce. That's a me problem... just gotta have hot sauce when I eat fried fish but I didn't ask for any while I was there (they may offer it) and still very much enjoyed the sandwich. - Filet: it was great... hubby got it medium and it arrived perfectly cooked. The Demi glaze sauce was so good and so were the sides. Their collard greens are seasoned up! I said does my auntie work here?! This cuisine is so comfortingly southern and didn't disappoint. Shoutout to our friendly and helpful server, Dan... our food and drinks came out quickly and so did our to-go box. His service was truly top notch. We have been living in Carmel for 5 years and this is one of the best restaurants here. If you're on the fence about trying this place, jump off and make a reservation. You won't regret it.

Seems we weren't the only ones with that idea as the restaurant was packed to the brim! After a 40min wait, we were seated within view of the kitchen, which I enjoy. Everything we got was absolutely delicious. The ramen noodles are perfectly springy and chewy, the takoyaki were full of meat and flavor, and the curry rice was rich and savory!! The only thing not enjoyable was the bao bun, just because it was 90% fat and no flavor. The wait for everything from our server was long each time, but I'm sure it was due to the event causing chaos and keeping them constantly at max capacity. I'd absolutely love to come back and try more of their ramen dishes.

Our table was ready and the Manger himself took us to our seats. This adorable three story red barn was dripping in charm and homey vibes. We sat on the second floor, we didn't know it had stairs or we would have asked for a first floor , a few of the group are not great on stairs, but as a team we made it work. Plus note is that there is a bathroom on the second floor. Speaking of the bathroom it did feel very much like a airplane bathroom, a litte Claustrophobic. The early bird dinner is the way to go, three course for a great price. We started by getting the deviled eggs and the mushroom soup. Both were amazing, the soup was so creamy and the eggs had just the right amount of firmness. I had fried chicken which was the best I have had in the Indy area. My husband had stroganoff and he felt like it was made by someone's granny. I also tasted the pork belly, and it was out of this work good. Desert was simple individual cheesecake with sauce, nice small size. We will be back and will try the rest of the menu.
