    We saw this place on tik tok and drove an hour to come and try it out! It was well worth the trip. I'm not even sure where to start, the service was amazing, Dill(the owner) and her family have a great thing going here. Very attentive and informative about things like spice levels and the menu. It is located directly next to the Arcade and Attica train, it was very cool to watch the train go by. The moment you've all been waiting for... drum roll please! The food... so good. The magi and strawberry lassi tasted like danimals drinkable yogurt! Everything was spiced to perfection. We ordered veggie samosas, chicken 65, and chicken tikka masala with a side of garlic naan. The samosas came with this sweet honey type of sauce and the two together were a delicious blend of sweet and savory. The garlic naan was fresh and chewy, the best samosas and naan I've ever had. The chicken tikka masala was so tender and the sauce was delicious, tomatoey and creamy. For me the star of the show was the chicken 65, the meat was so good, smaller pieces of meat with this almost sticky caramelized bbq-esque type of sauce. So delicious! My husband and I devoured it. Everything was made to order, super fresh and delicious. You can tell they put their heart and soul into this business.

    Appetizer platter

    Fantastic meal! The appetizer platter was delicious and our waiter was kind enough to explain what we were trying. It was delicious. We had the butter chicken and chicken curry, they were both fantastic and very flavorful. The naan could have been more garlicky but was still good! Only downside was it did take a bit to get our food but again once it came out, it was delicious! Very spacious area!

    We went to dinner with no intentions of getting Indian food but the other place was closed. We didn't even know there was an Indian place in the area so we decided to stop in and omg am I glad we did!!!! My favorite Indian place closed years ago in the north towns and haven't found a decent place until now. I had lamb biryani and my husband had the chicken vindaloo. The herbs in biryani were so delicious, the meat was so tender, and it had a slight spice- so good. The vindaloo was so so so creamy and the flavor was just right. We both devoured our plates and could've licked the plates clean. I also washed it down with a mango lassi. The cook/owner came out with samples of her dessert that were so delicious. I would've ordered some but I was so deliciously full I couldn't breathe haha. Cannot wait to go back!!!

    Dining room seating

    My husband and I came here for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! We were greeted upon entering and sat in a booth. The waiter was friendly and offered recommendations. We tried the mango and strawberry lassi. They were refreshing and good to cool your palate with the spicy meal. To start we had the aloo tiki as an appetizer which had great flavor and a side dipping sauce we really liked. I had the chicken biryani and my husband had the goat curry. Both were packed with flavor. We got a side of garlic naan to go with it, highly recommend!! I'm someone who likes "mildly spicy" and I was good with mine. The waiter was very helpful with guiding us. There is a fun floor seating table in the dining room for a unique experience! Overall we will definitely be repeat customers and will encourage others to try Indian Bistro! The food was flavorful, portions were great, prices were on point, wait was minimal, service was friendly and welcoming and we left happy! They put a lot of effort into their restaurant and it shows!!

    lamb dish

    I absolutely love that they now have a Southtowns location! We definitely need more ethnic food…read moreoptions in the area, and I'm so glad we were able to sample them at a recent event. Now I'm already anxious to head over to their restaurant. Typically, I'm not someone who orders rice dishes, but their tandoori chicken completely changed my mind. The sauce tied everything together beautifully and made the whole dish incredibly flavorful. I can't wait to bring my gluten-free mom there because I know she'll love it too. I also had the chance to try their vegetable samosa -- a delicious crispy fried pastry filled with a savory potato and veggie mixture. It honestly reminded me of a flavorful Indian-style stuffing. I would absolutely order both again. Great service at the stand, friendly staff, and they truly know how to make comforting Indian cuisine.

    This was my first time ordering food from Alibaba and I was so happy we did. We did a pick up order…read moreto get out of the house on the cold night for a little cabin fever escape. I ordered the chicken swarma and some garlic cheese naan to go with it. It was SO MUCH FOOD!!! The naan was prepared perfectly. I was able to throw my swarma on top of the naan and fold it up perfectly with no rips to make my own wrap. Game changer. They even gave me extra sauces for everything. I was so full and STILL had leftovers! Super friendly staff when we picked it up, Our order was prepared quick and, the affordable menu had a lot of options. The vibes here were on point. We will definitely be going back for more soon!

The chicken tikka masala was absolutely amazing (right amount of flavor, perfect portion size, fresh make sauces, all of it)! Spicy mojito was excellent, service was fast and friendly too. If you live in the area - go. If you're passing through town - definitely pick this place!

    First time stopping in at this establishment after passing by it hundreds of times. Started out…read morewith a mixed drink from the bar which was terrible at best. I started to panic because I thought the rest of our appetizer (coconut jumbo shrimp with Carmel drizzle) and meal were going to be just as bad, but was pleasantly surprised when the food came out! What went from a possible bad experience turned into a nice meal with my wife. She had the chicken kabob, which was perfectly cooked, that came with rice, pita bread and tzatziki. I had the Chicken tika plate which was phenomenal. It also came with rice, pita and tzatziki. Our waitress was as nice as could be and made sure we were taken care of. They did serve A salad which was pretty skimpy. The salad was definitely not big enough for us both however. We ate on the patio outdoors which was very nice. So final rankings... mixed drink from bar a 1.5/10. Salad 3/10. Appetizer 8/10. Main course 9/10. Overall the main course made up for any other issues I had.

    I craved Indian food, while on vacation in Rochester, New York and found this 4.5 star location…read more What a disappointment! My first impression once inside was there were no customers and no one to greet me. The buffet featured in photographs and reviews on Yelp was empty. The restaurant environment was cozy, as soft music played. Finally a young gentleman seated me with the menu. I inquired about the buffet and he said they had to stop the buffet due to food waste. He brought me chilled water with no ice (not my request) and I placed my order of lamb vindaloo, vegetable biryani, and plain naan bread. I asked to keep the menu for a dessert choice after my meal. Sadly, I did not take pictures of my food in the restaurant, but the food was very tasty. I requested spicy versions and both entrees were on point. When I arrived, a few minutes after 2 pm I was aware the restaurant closed at 3 pm. By the time I finished my first plate of lamb and biryani, the young man asked if I wished to choose my dessert now because they close at 3 pm. I had 16 minutes until closing. I reluctantly declined dessert because I was sensing they wanted me to leave. I took one more plate of food and he brought me my check and I requested a to go box for 3/4ths for my biryani and all but a half piece of naan bread. I finished my plate and transferred my food to the to go box. The young man left and there was about 8 minutes to closing. An older man emerged and spoke out loud from across the restaurant. I thought surely this person isn't talking to me from across the room. I continued to my bill and signed off and then the same man came closer and said are you finished? We are closed. I complained that he was rushing me and he reiterated that they close at 3 pm. I replied I arrived minutes after 2 pm and there were no patrons here. I waited patiently for my food to be prepared and I was reminded twice that the restaurant closes at 3pm. I asked him did he feel his actions were rude and if he felt any responsibility to the welfare of his customer to finish their meal peacefully? After all, I didn't walk in 30 minutes before closing, nor were they busy. I was their only customer for approximately an hour. He replied no we close at 3 pm and I need to get home and then come back later. There was no concern for me as a customer! The food was good and seasoned as requested. Customer service was disappointing and was rude. The older employee felt no responsibility or remorse for his actions. It is clear to me why there were no customers in the restaurant.
