In my opinion this is the best Indian food in Indianapolis. The lunch buffet is varied and delicious.
This is my new favorite Indian place. The food is a touch more daring with the spices without being too hot and the flavors are amazing. What will k...
Restaurant Description
This restaurant is located in downtown right on illinois and Ohio st. This is a another branch of India Garden (830 Broad Ripple Ave.) .
I was visiting a friend in Indianapolis and he took me to Indian Garden for lunch. For someone who loves Indian food, I was VERY disappointed with the service. Even though the food was fine; how can one enjoy the food when your server and manager were rude--- literally rude. First when we arrived, the server did not lead us to our table. He pointed to a corner table from a distance. This was after all not a big deal. During our meal, my friend dropped his fork, so he asked the server to bring him another one twice. The server deliberately ignored him. The worst came when I left for the restroom and my friend left to get dessert from the buffet bar, the server immediately cleared our table. The server again ignored my friend when he told him that we were not done. When I got out of the restroom my friend told me that our table was cleared. I was surprised by what happened and I went to the server to ask for a glass of water. He nodded and walked away without coming back. My friend paid for lunch and got me out of the restaurant. I had him describe to me what actually happened when I was in the restroom. Upset by the rude treatment, I went back to the restaurant wanting to lodge a complain to the manager. The moment I walked in, the manager tried to look away and not talk to me. Apparently, it was not just the server who was rude. The manager knew what was going on all the time. I was finally able to corner him and tell him how I felt about their service when a couple customers came to pay the food. Never was I treated so badly in a restaurant.

I love the India Garden! I have been a regular for two years now and I'm rather addicted. The lunch buffet is great for trying out different things, and it's also very easy on the wallet. But nothing beats the dinner entrees, freshly cooked and spiced to your own taste. Also, the staff is excellent at both locations--they know me (and my friends) by name and also know exactly what I want! The first reviewer needs to go back to Mcdonalds, where (s)he obviously belongs

Although we tend to enjoy the Broad Ripple India Garden buffet moreso than the downtown location, they are both fantastic. A perfect way to experience Indian food without actually going overseas and injuring yourself with the spices.
Previous reviews...don't confuse the 'soft-spoken' service style of the servers with rudeness.
Another piece of advice to those who are trying Indian food for the first time. The first time, you may say "hmmm, that was interesting...not my first choice, but not bad." The 2nd time, you may say "that was very good!" And from then on, you may find yourself craving it! I'm going there tomorrow!
Break away from the overpriced steakhouses on every corner of downtown Indy and try something with some culture!
