Indian Food

Excellent food. Flavoursome and spicy with dishes you will not find in more Americanised restaurants. If you want authentic Indian food, this is the restaurant for you.

Serves Halal meat.

PROS: Very good food with authentic taste at reasonable prices
CONS: Basic decor

I'm guessing Chris works for a competing Indian restaurant in the area as "Indian Food" is the best Indian restaurant in St Louis. I'm Indian myself and eat at Indian restaurants 1-2 times a week (I eat out every day). St Louis has very poor Indian restaurants compared to other major cities, the only real exceptions being "Indian Food", House of India and one take-out place I can't recall the name of. "Indian Food" is unique in that they serve home-style Indian food, not 'Restaurant-style'. What does this mean? It means their dishes do not contain the large volumes of cream and starch that restaurant-style food contains in order to make the sauces thick. Instead they use exquisite seasoning to create some fantastic flavors, and ditch the cream (much less fat). The quality of the meat is good, and the breads are all fantastic. The restaurant is family owned and run and everyone is very friendly. A huge number of people stop in for take-out food, and the restaurant actually offers "meal plans" for folks who want their daily lunch/dinner here.

PROS: Fantastic taste, Healthier than other Indian restaurants
CONS: I wish it were in the central west end

Indian Food is a great place to have authentic and fresh Indian food. Regardless of what Chris below has to say; his review is unqualified. My girlfriend and me both love Indian food and we used to go to House of India until the quality of food there dropped off due to employee dissention. That's when we found Indian Food. This is the place we go to time and time again. The lunch special is decent, but the Lamb dishes for dinner are favorites. I've asked Indian friends of mine and this is one of the most regularly recommended venues. Decoration is a bit on the cafe/diner side, but the owner is friendly and workers are earnest. Wonderful experience. If you want REAL Indian food, Indian Food is a must try. I have no idea where Chris went, but NONE of his complaints (greasy etc.) rang true for me during ANY of my own (repeated) experiences dining at this establishment.

PROS: Authentic, Cheaper than other places which serve worse food.
CONS: Decor has a cheap feel to it.

This is the worst Indian food in town. It's underseasoned, greasy, and gristly. The owner hovers over the customers and doesn't allow them to eat in peace. Avoid at all costs!
