Information gathering: Indianapolis

[malkin]

No insight about Indianapolis, but good luck on your applications, especially those pesky essays! I've been doing edits/rewrites for my daughter for a couple months.

One thing I just thought of:

Any decent Indian restaurants in the area? It's one of the big things I miss about home. (Of course, maybe I was spoiled growing up, as there are three in a five-mile radius of my house!)

There is at least one great one, and several good ones

I'm not sure I'd call any of them "great," but there are some decent ones on each side of town. I used to love the one downtown--India Garden--but I think it's gone downhill a bit over the last couple of years. Their northside location is better. If you like Thai, we have some good places, too.

I do think the India Palace and the Shalimar (owned by the same folks) have really good food - especially on the ala cartedinner/carry out menu. I agree that the India Garden downtown, and their other location, have seen better times but it works for the occasional lunch.

Indy, where have you found a good Thai restaurant? I have given up trying to find one here that I like...

[Owlie]

Come here! We have loads of Thai places!

Siam Square on Virginia (Fountain Square. They have a southside location called Thai Spice. It's near Greenwood Park Mall. I also like Jasmine Cafe on 96th, between Keystone and Allisonville.
