| - It is so frustrating to find a place downtown with great food, only to find that the service is terrible. Well, I am happy to report that Indies is not one of those places. Not only is the food delicious, fresh, housemade from scratch and reasonably priced, the owners who run the business are extremely kind and wonderful.
I am a big fan of the delicious mutter paneer - a creamy curry with delicious chunks of paneer cheese, but I also am glad they have less rich vegetarian options as well.
The only thing I don't love at Indies, unfortunately, is the rice. I think it comes down to texture - I personally think that most Indian dishes, particularly the creamy ones, need a firmer rice like Basmati. I don't really care for the soft rice that they serve (similiar to Korean sticky white rice). But perhaps that is just a matter of preference.
Something cool that happened there once: Next to the restaurant portion of Indies is their lottery / soft drinks / newsstand business. I was once in line behind a guy who bought a $2 scratch-off... He scratched it at the counter, and it was a winner for $20,000!!! That was pretty exciting.
