They have brought back their weekday lunch buffet which was beloved by downtown office workers. It's only $10.99 and is one of the best deals in the city.

India Garden, I'm coming for you. It's been too long. It has been way too long and I Neeeeeeeed you.

India Garden, they could never make me hate you! India Garden is one of my go-to spots for flavorful vegetarian fare. Not everyone offers yummy meatless dishes that are both filling and flavorful. India Garden gets it right. I'm a huge fan of the Channa Masala, which makes chickpeas (which are NOT my favorite) a savory delight for the palate. I'll also never say no to one of their samosas. I love that you can find India Garden conveniently on most mobile ordering apps. If you're craving Indian food, you should give them a try

I wandered around downtown Indianapolis Indiana on a random Thursday afternoon in May 2023 and found an Indian restaurant that has awards from the local newspaper, among others, displayed near the entrance. Yup, I literally wandered in without the Yelp app to guide me. I wanted Indian for dinner during my short stay in downtown Indianapolis. It definitely wouldn't hurt picking up dinner here that serves up awards from the Indy Star. With that said, I arrived here by foot around 7:30pm and it wasn't busy at all. I ordered take out, which consisted of lamb madras curry with rice, an order of vegetable Samoas, 1 order of regular naan, and a cheese naan I wanted to try. The price was quite reasonable at $27 total with tax, since I've paid more locally at home. It would very likely be closer to $40 if done in Honolulu, where I am from, so the price difference is very much welcomed! I spent about a good 20 or so minutes here from ordering to pick up. The restaurant was so nice and elegant, but decided to eat in my hotel room versus at the restaurant. The ambiance at the restaurant was nice and quiet for sure. It was too bad that I didn't dine in though. It would have been lovely and nice. The service here was quite quick and friendly. The food itself was quite delicious as usual. It was interesting to have the vegetable samosas wrapped in tin foil versus a take out foam container. I guess it's either to save money or something else. Regardless of that, it was just great that I found this Indian restaurant in the heart of downtown Indianapolis. The overall experience here at the India Garden Indian restaurant was fast and good at the same time. While it was a take out affair, it would have been cool to dine in, but next time for sure if my travels permit me to return. In any event, the wait was about 20 minutes but I felt like it was less, due to the not so busy dining room of the Thursday evening when i was there. I was surprised at how cheaper the food was, especially it being Indian fare comparative to what I know of in my hometown. I guess everything is generally cheaper versus being shipped over water (Hawaii) vs driven in locally in state or from another state. I enjoyed the lamb madras curry very much with the rice. Made an excellent meal while watching television from my hotel room seem exotic that night. The veggie samoas were great, as usual. The naan was gorgeous as well. I prefer the garlic naan, but the cheese naan was good as well. For the most part though, it was nice to be able to walk around downtown Indianapolis and stumble upon the Indian Garden Indian restaurant. Consider the India Garden Indian restaurant if you are in downtown Indianapolis or just passing thru for your fix. India Garden Indian restaurant is located at 207 N Delaware Street in downtown Indianapolis, Indiana. Their menu is limited but extensive at the same time. They have many of the classic curries, appetizers, and an assortment of naans that will excite your taste buds. The curries are always a hit, I'm sure. I should have ordered two curries instead of one, since I had an early flight the next morning. Oh well. It is what it is. They accept major credit cards, as well as cash. As far as parking, I would assume that street parking is always a good thing, as there was plenty around the restaurant. Or maybe there are paid parking garages nearby you can park in. For myself though, I walked about 0.5 miles or so from my hotel on W Washington Street to get here. And walked back with the food in tow. There's also the IndyGo bus system to get you here, but best to look up the routes you need to get here from your location. And Uber / Lyft can be of assistance if you need to. However you get here, get here. Indian food is such a blessing! I loved coming here and hope you will too. 4.5 stars for the overall experience. 4.5 stars for the food. 4.0 stars for the ambiance and service. 4.0 stars for the prices. 3.0 stars for the location (had to walk lol) Support local!

GREAT PLACE - I've only been to Indianapolis a few times over the last 3 years. I've walked by this establishment several times but never really stopped to look at the place or the menu. My son moved to Downtown Indy about a year ago. We were looking for a place to go tonight for dinner and my son suggested India Garden, so we all decided to go here for dinner. My son and his roommate have only ordered their food to go and said it was good. They were not wrong. This place is clean, the staff is very helpful and friendly. Found out tonight that they have been in business for over 23 years. I know why, the food is very good and flavorful. We started with Chicken Pakora as an appetizer. Then we moved to the main course: Tandoori Chicken (very nice), Lamb Curry (Really good), Chicken Tikka Masala (very tasty), Mixed Vegetables in (I think) a Korma Sauce (Wow very nicely prepared vegetables and the sauce was made with cashews - so it had a very nice creamy texture with a great flavor) - we ordered Garlic Naan to soak up all the sauces. Very nicely baked bread. This restaurant can accommodate small and large groups and also do a lot of catering if needed. Stop by if you want a good meal that won't break the bank either. I will be going back for sure.

We enjoyed our lunch here this past week. The chicken tikki was spot on, the tandoori was yummy as well. The veggie dish was just sparse, they need to put more veggies in it and a little less sauce. We enjoyed the naan and they give you PLENTY as well as a big dish of rice. We're not big on carbs, but If you are.... You're all set! Service was good, we had ice teas as well. Lunch was about $30 for both meals.
