We ordered carry-out because it is way too hot to cook. Order was the usual for a new Indian restaurant...Chicken Tikka Masala, Butter Chicken and 2 orders of garlic Naan. I was worried when the parking lot was empty, but we were eating early for dinner that I blamed it on the time on a Tuesday. Now that we have tried their food, I really hope the crowds show up later because they deserve it. The food was fresh, piping hot and tasted (almost) like homemade. The aromas when you enter the restaurant let you know that they care about quality. The restaurant was set meticulously at small and large tables. The service was friendly and quick. The carryout was packed well and ready about 15 minutes after my online order. They do have a drive-thru, if that interests you. The chicken dishes were fantastic and came with Basmati. The Garlic Naan was fresh amd tasty. I am excited to branch out and try other entrees. I really hope they continue to thrive because their quality and service deserve it! If you like read more

The food is very good, simple and made from scratch. Relatively inexpensive. I have my favorites. I dine there at least once every few weeks. This was my latest meal.

Went for dinner and greeted by who I believe who was the owner and he was very nice and helped answer our questions. The dishes were served with a candle to keep the dish warm which I thought was a nice touch. The dishes were flavorful with a good heat would definitely go back. They also surprised us with a complimentary rice pudding for dessert which was also very good. read more

I hate to leave this review because I'm a local and want businesses to succeed but I can't not. My lunch was inedible. $18 wasted. When this place first opened I had some really good meals there. The smell walking in was mouthwatering and the food was just as delicious. I don't know how long later I ordered palaak paneer and it was disgusting. If you can imagine American cheese with some strings of spinach mostly solidified that was the best way to describe it (Another review has a picture that pretty much shows the same thing. It wasn't even the right color.) Lesson learned, don't order the palaak paneer, but there were still other dishes. Fast forward to today: butter paneer with garlic naan. INEDIBLE. It looked good, smelled all right but it was full of shreds of almonds (pretty sure they were almonds) the size of shredded coconut. Each creamy bite came with a mouthful of strongly flavored nut grit. Not the right texture for this dish and not appetizing, and it became the sole flavor profile. Not convinced they were blanched, so it was like just eating prechewed, raw almonds. I tried to strain the dish to salvage it and got at least to tablespoons of gunk out. When rinsed it was basically just almonds. Somebody needs a mortar and pestle or a ninja blender. The strained flavor was mediocre at best and the paneer was tough, so I guess I'll have to find something else for lunch. Can't risk anymore chances here. The people are nice but I'm paying for the food and it was inedible. read more

Everything I've had here has been delicious! Special love for their chicken tikka masala and their mango lassi! Friendly service and good prices too! They've made the best with the decor as a former Coney Island. They do have a drive thru too, haven't done that yet but that's a great option! read more

This place has a drive thru which is different, but also has a really elegant looking dining area. I tried the butter chicken my first visit and I was personally not a fan compared to other places I have dined at. However, they have this coconut chicken dish that is great and that's what keeps me coming back. Spice levels seem to vary but edge on the low side. I usually get medium to hot. Their garlic naan is good too. read more

This place was pretty empty when I came but the staff was nice and the chicken 65 was very tasty. In the middle of clawson and worth the stop. Will try again. Could of been cleaner I saw a mop bucket sitting out but the tables were set up very nice. read more

This restaurant has an attentive staff in a nice assortment of Indian foods to choose from. The dining area is clean bright and pleasant. I considered it a hidden gem in Clawson! read more

Main Street Kitchen--You Never Go wrong Here! I never knew they had lunch specials--What a deal! The lentil soup is perfect. The chicken curry is perfect. The rice is perfect. The Mango pickle is untouchable. The Raitha is something to write home about! The rice pudding settles it all in nicely. I'm going to start eating here more often. We usually do takeout, but they are so nice here... read more

Main Street Kitchen - Perfect Chicken Curry with Perfect Basmati rice. - Indian Near Me - Clawson, Michigan

Ordered gobi manchurian -cauliflower, hakka noodles, and vegetable tikka masala spicy. Food: The manchurian flavor was ok but was overpowered by dough and deep fry. I couldn't even tell there was cauliflower. what's worse was it was soggy and damp, so i got a mouthful of oily doughy cauliflower. This is a classic dish but was not made to adequate standards. Hakka noodles were good. Noodles 90% chicken 10%, so be aware of that. I ordered it non-spicy, and this was my fault because it literally came without a single spice and was incredibly bland/unflavorful. We asked for additional spice (got it nonspicy to share with our kid), but they said this was unavailable. and had to ask for the spicy sauce they would normally cook this with. Do they really not have hot sauce? surprised, not in a good way. The vegetable tikka masala spicy was NOT SPICY and was a bit disappointing. The sauce was flavorful and thick/creamy, which I enjoyed. However, there was BARELY any vegetables (see my picture). it is well presented, but I didn't really come for the presentation, it was just a lot of curry and little content, similar to the hakka noodles 85% sauce 15% other content. I was hungrier than when I began. The atmosphere is ok and it is clean with tables and booths. Service was fast and run by one person who was very nice to us. I think they tried to mimic a slightly fancy Indian restaurant atmosphere, but I don't think it was achieving it. If I come back, maybe I'll ask for double portion and extra spicy. read more

The service is always amazing, super friendly. We live 4 1/2 hours away and make it a point to go here for dinner every time we're in town. We order Vegetable Samosas, Channa Masala, Butter Chicken, and Chicken Biryani, and garlic naan. We order mild spice, and the flavor in everything is just amazing! The prices are low, but the quality is high! The portions are generous. We usually find Indian food every time we travel because we don't have it in our area and this is by far our favorite! read more

Food was around 3.5. Service was attentive as expected as we were the only ones in the restaurant. Ambiance is like American breakfast booth vibe with white tablecloths and napkins. Food tasted good, but didn't feel super warm although there was a candle underneath most dishes. read more

Great Indian restaurant in heart of Clawson. Ample parking with very inviting and clean dining area. Tried the Chicken Manchurian which has phenomenal and highly recommend. Had nice chunks of breaded chicken in a tangy red sauce with perfect amount of spice. For an appetizer had the chicken hot and sour soup which was very good. If you like hot and sour soup from Thai restaurants this will def be something you want to try. For dessert ordered the Gulab Jamun which were the floured balls in a sugary syrup which were divine. Highly recommend read more

Many years ago, I had to go to the Peacock in Dearborn if I wanted Indian food. Now, there are Indian restaurants aplenty. Many are good but Main Street Kitchen takes it to 11. Their lentil soup and mattar paneer (peas and farmer's cheese cubes) were so fresh and fragrant. This isn't the closest place to me but it's worth the trip. read more

Gave this place another go. I think because this was closest to home and I needed food ASAP. This is an absolute no go, this is the last time. NEVER AGAIN. They are making money off these clawson people that don't know any better. It's wrongly overpriced for not good food and a small amount of it . read more

Everything was great! Food, Service and ambiance. I had the Lamb Vindaloo, Aloo Gobi, Garlic Naan. This is honestly the best Indian food I have had in years! Spices were perfect. The ratio of Cauliflower to potato, Lamb and potato were better than any restaurant I've ever been to. I didn't feel like I had a plate of potatoes with sauce and spice. I still have left over meat to take home! The dishes came out in metal pots with a candle underneath to keep the food warm! The table was tastefully set. Honestly the best meal I've had in a long time. The staff was friendly and attentive. If I lived closer, I would be a regular! Keep up the good work! Excellent!!!! read more

I had big hopes but wasn't super impressed. The food was good but nothing outstanding. I definitely had better Indian food. We ordered Onion Kulcha and Garlic Naan and for the main we had Chicken Tikka Masala & Gobi Manchurian. Both dishes with rice. Unfortunately we received only one cup of rice so we when we divided that by two of us, we had barely any rice. There should be two cups of rice for sure since both dishes indicated to have rice. Flavor was good, but as indicated above, we had better in other places. Portion size, I was a little disappointed. For what you pay for a dish there should be more, in comparison to what you get dinning in, this was half portion. And you pay the same. Garlic naan and onion kulcha were good. As for the pickup, we ordered online and drove to their pickup window, this is nice option during these days, but I would appreciate if the person giving out the food wear a mask. Noticed trough the window that nobody inside was wearing masks. Will I order again? Probably not. read more

This was probably the freshest food temperature-wise I've had so far during the pandemic, and it was much appreciated! I did GrubHub tonight even though I live about 5 minutes away. I had been wanting to try Main St. Kitchen for a while now - it used to be Chutney's, which was an all-vegetarian Indian restaurant, and which I tried once but wasn't that impressed with. I was tired after taking a walk tonight so I wanted to do delivery, and all 4 of the apps I use (Uber Eats, GrubHub, DoorDash, and Postmates) were offering free delivery from them. I ended up doing GrubHub since they were a few bucks cheaper than the others. What I ordered: -Chicken Korma: I usually get Chicken Tikka Masala or Butter Chicken but was in the mood for something different tonight, and I've had it before at Ashoka down the street. I got it mild and it was a teeny bit spicy, but that could just be my taste buds. Nicely sized portion too. -Garlic Naan: VERY generous portion! Two large half-sized pieces of bread. Definitely enough for two people. -Mango lassi: also very good. Very impressed by MSK and will be back to do carryout at some point - if you have the Entertainment book or app, they have a 25% off coupon in there, too. As others have mentioned, they DO have a drive-thru, also - I was told it used to be a Checkers a long time ago, so that's why. Very tasty and definitely will be ordering from them again. Fantastic that they are 5 minutes down the street, too! read more

The main street kitchen took over the previous Chutney's location they now offer meat, where the previous Chutney's did not offer any meat options. It was strictly vegetarian. I enjoyed the okra masala, chicken tikki masala, chili chicken and the chicken 65, tofu kadai paneer, veggie koomra, Manchurian isn't bad either. Their sambar soup is decent. The only downside is most of the food isn't warm at all, cooled with the open chafing dishes. I was told today's buffet is special, so I am not sure how much of it is in their normal weekly buffet. If I had to pick my favorite dish out of everything it would be the chicken chili for sure. So much flavor, spicy and good. They even have goat and lamb dishes today, several chicken, tofu and of course lots of veggie dishes. Their weekly buffet is $8.95/pp, $11.95 on the weekends. They have a few less food items during their regular weekday Buffett's. There was this unidentifiable reddish colored hard thing in the okra masala dish. It felt hard as a rock but with some force I was able to cut into it and break it into pieces with a knife. I showed it to the waiter and told him what I had found. He took it to the kitchen. The chef came out shortly afterwards and explained that the chaat masala was the hard thing we had found in the okra masala and it had dried out and thus was hard. It had hardened into a ball while cooking it seems. The food overall was good here. They are quick and efficient and attentive. The food is much better when it's hot and fresh of course. If you are there long enough you will get a few hot out of the kitchen items. read more

First time here. Drove right by because it looked closed due to plastic all around. My very first drive-thru Indian food. Ordered 2 entrees and an app. The Gobi Manchurian was delish, great flavor and spice, lots of large pieces of cauliflower. Shrimp fried rice; this is where they lost a star- menu description: "Basmati rice tossed with shrimp egg and vegetables." there was no egg! That's why this was ordered looking forward to the shrimp+egg combo, a fair number of good sized shrimp. Lastly, the mixed vegetable curry, this was amazing. All in all very tasty, strange and quick drive thru experience and super disappointed about no egg. read more

My daughter and I had the opportunity to experience Main Street Kitchen today. Sammie and Abraham was amazing!

Me and my friends always come here, and this time we ordered the Butter Chicken, Chicken Vindaloo, Garlic Naan and Chicken Biryani. While everything was good, we really enjoyed the Butter Chicken and Chicken Biryani so much with the Garlic Naan! Most of all the service is great! The guys here are so kind and sweet and are always checking if we need anything. If you don't want to dine in, it seems that so many people also enjoy their drive thru and pickup! read more

The food here is out of this world good. I cannot get enough Rogan Josh, Lamb Dopiaza, and Pulao Rice. The homemade yogurt of the Raitha is so well balanced in flavors it is something you'll want every day--and it is really good at promoting gut health. Really good. Better than any supplement or other yougurt I've had. The Rice Pudding is of a thin consistency--not like a Greek-ish version, but it is packed with flavor and satisfaction. The men running this restaurant are very friendly and welcoming, and my kids prefer eating there over takeout because of it. They are pretty fond of the Tikka, as well. We all love the Paneer Pakora (I'll bet it is home-made, too), Manchurian Chicken, and Onion Bhaje appetizers. They can be a meal unto themselves. One of us can't live without the Garlic Naan. The Chicken Jalfrezi and Goat Bhuna are great finds, too. The place is spotless and the place settings actually seem a bit elegant. One more thing--Mango Lassi. The best. Get an extra one for the next day. I'd say I eat here on average at least once a week getting enough takeout for two days at a time, and I ate here 7 days in a row on my last vacation. I'm not sure what of the spices are doing it, but my blood pressure--especially my diastolic, is lowered the night and next morning when I eat here. "Gotta go back, dear. Doctor's orders!" read more

While traveling I'm always appreciative to find solid vegetarian options. Indian food is my go-to and after 20 years in and out of all parts of India... I am picky. The Palak Paneer was fresh and I can tell that it was made with whole spinach leaves that had been hand chopped. The flavors were strong and tasty. You could tell this was someone's family recipe that had been tinkered with over the years to get it just so. The naan was hot and fresh with the right amount of charred crustiness and tang from the yogurt. This will be a steady go-to while I am in Troy. Bonus round. I ordered naan and told them to keep the rice. On my way out, the owner or at least the person who took my order said, "I gave you the rice anyway." Bonus points in my book, not because of the extra food but care. People who cut corners on quality or portions don't give things away. It's not in their wheelhouse. This is a restaurant team that cares. I look forward to more dining when I am in town. read more

OMG BECKY!!! I am totally speechless. All you have to do is eat here one time and you will come back. I love Indian cuisine and this one is superior. The owner made us feel like we were at his home. Everything we wanted he made sure we had it. The bullet Naan and the pickle were so delicious. We ordered the chicken hakka noodles they are the perfect balance of indo-chinese I have ever had. I am a noodle nut and they were outstanding, they melted in my mouth. The owner suggested the chicken kadai thank goodness. It was so incredibly tasty. I felt like I traveled home to another country and was served by his own Mother. I know good food and this is the place to go if you love Indian food. I am already planning on coming this Friday with my friend for her birthday lunch. I totally love this place and the owner. He made us a coconut drink that blew me away it was so refreshing and full of fresh coconut. I promise you will be totally happy that you came, bring an appetite trust me. I need to buy a new pair of pants now. Lol Natalie read more

My husband and I placed a DoorDash delivery here yesterday. This was our first time trying out Main Street kitchen and we loved it! We ordered the vegetable samosa, garlic naan, butter chicken, and chicken tikka masala. Everything was absolutely delicious. They also gave us generous portions so we had more then enough leftovers to enjoy tonight! We were craving Indian food and this place hit the spot, for sure! We will definitely be ordering from here again. read more

The chana masala is great! Loved the rice pudding. Also got the naan and palak paneer which were good

It took us a while to get back to Main Street Kitchen, and we won't be going back. I have a tomato allergy -- not so severe that cross contamination is an issue, but I can't eat it. This usually means I'm asking questions when we order, and double checking when we pick up. We did both of those things tonight when we ordered paneer. The dish still arrived with tomato. We sat here for a minute, not wanting to be the guys who complain, but we ultimately decided to call back -- we live super close and it would've been easy to pop back up to get another dish (so there was actually something I could eat). The first guy my partner talked to hung up on him. My partner called back, and a second guy said "there's 100% no way there's tomato" (among other things) and scooted him off the phone. I posted a photo so you can see there 100% is. I'm normally not petty like this, but it would've SO EASY for them to just make another dish instead of telling us that we're wrong. We eat Indian at least once a week, but we'll keep driving over to Sterling Heights for faster service, WAY better flavor, and guys who aren't rude AF. read more
