Any…read morerestaurant that deviates from the Pizza, Burger, Mexican food triangle this town only focuses on is a good thing. Life is to be savored after all, and the more flavors the better! A place where you can have Indian food is great! It also does have more American food in the menu, for those who do not or have family who want to stick with what they know. My family has eaten a few times from here, taking carry out each time. Ordering is convenient as they both have a website and you can call in. The food is absolutely delicious! My family has eaten the following items: 1) Chicken Tika-Masala: Savory and spicy dish... has the right amount of kick to it: We love it! 2) Chicken Pakora: my personal favorite dish, its an appetizer. It is so good! It's salty, it's crunchy! Yum! 4) Butter Chicken: Families favorite dish. The delicious taste will melt you like butter under a. hot sun. 5) the rice and naan bread are very good. 6) Gulab Jamun. This dessert has just the right amount of sweet components! We should have bought more but will the next time! I could go on, this place is great! And we are very lucky to have this place open up! Highly recommend if you live in Van Wert! Cmon, try something new!

This restaurant brings new flavors to Van Wert's food scene and is absolutely incredible…read more My wife and I took our extended family for a pre-Christmas treat. We had a range of appetizers from samosas to padpi chaat. All we tried were delicious. Our entrees ranged from Tikka Masala to Biryani to Curries, the Biryani and Curries came with a choice of meat- adding Garlic Naan bread made the perfect meal. Don't be afraid of the spice - the medium was easy. I'll step it up to spicy next time - but not 'Indian Spicy'. The food is all homemade by the owners and incredible. The service is also from family and impeccable. Anything that we were unfamiliar were clearly explained For anyone who is looking for a change from Van Wert' standard Mexican/Chinese/Beer Barrel options, I highly recommend Lucky's Hot Spice and Rice.

The same two handsome guys were our servers again, and they are so friendly and helpful with offering suggestions from the menu. This time I had a Mango Lassi, Aloo Paratha, and Lamb Biryani. I ordered a medium level of spice, and my food was once again incredibly flavorful and spicy to a level that I really enjoyed. The portions are so generous I had some for lunch the next day. This is a very quiet little restaurant in what was definitely a former diner, and Star of India has certainly made that former diner into a cool Indian restaurant. I'm sure I will be back again for dinner in the future, this restaurant brings me a lot of joy.

We were so happy to see it was still there and the food was just as good as we remembered. Our 2 daughters (8 and 3) who love Indian food enjoyed the butter chicken and kept saying how delicious it was! Not too spicy at all for them. My husband and I had the chili chicken and aloo gobi which both were fantastic. The chili chicken was our favorite dish 15 years ago and it was still a hit! The staff were so incredibly nice and overall a great experience. Highly recommend!

So that gives you an idea of the inside, they have a mini-store with some Indian snacks, which are cool. The people there were very nice and accommodating. Each member of my family got something different and it was all banging good. No questions on this. I had the lamb korma and it was tasty and tender. Don't let him talk you off your normal spice though, he said they are hotter than other restaurants but they are not. My only real knock is the price. For north west Ohio they are expensive. AND, unbeknownst to us the rice was an extra charge beyond your dish.... Uh, what else I gonna eat with it bra!

There were 4 different types of bread included in the basket. It was nice to taste all of them, as you can order them a la carte. Overall was a good experience, just needs a little quicker service:)

The service is always efficient and very pleasant. While I could go on and on and on about just how amazingly delicious this place is, let this be your sign to just go! You will NOT regret it!!!

But we were there for lunch recently, and were pleasantly surprised. From the name of the restaurant and the decor, you'd think you're in a 1990s truck stop diner.

Literally right off I-70 (exit 59) in the BP gas station parking lot on Rt. 41 S, this food truck is GOOOOD!! Pretty extensive menu for a food truck, definitely something for just about everyone, from apps., breads, entrees, traditional drinks and desserts. I wasn't 100% excited about my dal makhani (spicy lentils w/rice) but that's on me, not them. It was a little too soupy for my liking, next time I'll try something else. My paneer paratha was a great alternative to the usual na'an, MUCH more flavor... I'd go for that option, or something similar, again. I asked for extra chutney, the green was great but the red was a watery mess. VERY reasonably priced, quick and friendly service, what's not to like?

Went on Sunday for their lunch buffet…read more Well, I have to say that the buffet was really limited compared to most others I've been to. There were some pakoras and tiny egg rolls. Not sure if these were supposed to be Anda rolls??? I think they were frozen things from Gordon's. Asian, yes, but not Indian (at least not from my perspective). The pakoras were rather dried out and cold. the chutneys didn't help very much. There were no little bowls to put the chutney in. That's kind of disappointing. There was no raita. There were no pickles. I kind of think of all of these things as being staples, or non-negotiables on Indian buffets. The 2 chutneys were (I think) a mint and the other was a tamarind. They were both pretty watery and not very flavorful. They had 2 masalas, 1 chicken and the other was a paneer. These were passable, but I've had better. The other entree was a goat curry that was pretty good to, but nothing had any real heat or spice. The kitchen was playing it safe, I guess. The rice was pretty good. Oh, I think they had some tandoor chicken pieces, but it was pretty dry. All in all, not the best I've had, but passable. I would have loved something like this when I was at OU all those years ago (GO BOBCATS!).

It's a standard diner with several booths and tables. They installed a windbreak (double doors) so everyone in the restaurant doesn't freeze when someone comes in in the winter. The food is terrific. I started going there because of their Channa Saag (vegetarians, pay attention). It's creamy and I usually get it mild but you can have it with as much heat as you want. Their naan is huge and I'm partial to their garlic naan which costs a bit extra, but worth it if you like garlic. I've dined in plenty of times but in the past few years I've just done carryout.
