This is a really good Indian restaurant. Much better than you might expect to find in southern Indiana. I try to eat here at least once a week. They have a buffet for lunch and sometimes for dinner, otherwise you just order off the menu. There are always plenty of vegetarian items on the buffet, and usually some vegan ones, too. As a previous reviewer mentioned, they have vegetarian and vegan items separately categorized on the menu, which is really nice. It's a bit hard to find, as it's kind of behind a strip mall.I would call them if you have trouble finding it.
I’ve been eating in Indian restaurants for 25 years and the food at Apna Kitchen is the best I’ve ever had. Dishes are prepared fresh with spices ground right in the kitchen. The owner is from south India where vegan and vegetarian food is the norm, so there are dozens of vegan dinner entrees, appetizers and breads to choose from, and many vegetarian dishes, too. The staff will guide you to the spiciness and animal-friendliness you desire. A lunch buffet highlights vegan items. Make a point of eating here. This new restaurant is a little out of the way, and the front entrance is a little hard to find, but, oh, you’ll be glad you did.
Apna Kitchen has an extensive menu of many different regional Indian dishes as well as IndoChinese. Everything I have ordered here has been delicious from the apps to the main courses. I particularly like how they have the vegetarian and vegan items under separate sections in the menu. The staff is friendly and very accommodating. Even if this is your first time trying Indian cuisine, they will guide you to the perfect dish!
This place offers the most authentic Indian cuisine and the best chai in Indiana! I absolutely love visiting here.
