The Scene
If you're looking for a taste of India, look no further than downtown Providence. You won't find the expected pictures of the Taj Mahal on the walls here, because the owners had more exotic ideas in mind. Brightly colored oils depicting scenes of Indian life give a more realistic and well-rounded portrayal of the country's rich history.
The Food
India's menu follows a nontraditional path, promising uncomplicated food geared more toward today's health-conscious lifestyles than traditional Indian cuisine. Start with an order of tulsi naan, a thin crispy white bread topped with pesto, accompanied by a cup of tasty yogurt-based raita soup. If you're looking to pack a bit more heat, go with an entree of lamb vindaloo and request it extra spicy. The servings are generous, so you'll have enough left over to continue your visit abroad tomorrow.

Can I give it "zero stars"? This is definitely NOT the greatest Indian Food in the area - or anywhere. The ambience is nice, but that's about it. Food is overpriced and definitely not authentic. If you want GOOD, decently priced Indian food, try "Not Just Snacks" right up the road. Or a little more upscale at "Rasoi" or "Kabob and Curry". One tip - if you see Indians in the restaurant, it has good authentic food - the only people I see in India are fair-skinned!!!

This place is AMAZING... see all the other reviews for proof of that... but the downtown location is closed. So check out their East Side location at 1060 Hope St... where the ambiance extends to a front and back patio, as well! It's right across from the park at Blackstone Boulevard... truly a perfect setting.

I went to dinner here on my birthday with 9 friends and it was one of the best dining experiences i have had in a long time. The first thing that struck me was how incredibly welcoming and friendly the entire staff is...I truly have not felt so comfortable and welcome in a restaurant ever. Second is the decor and the music....perfect. And of course -- the food. So many great vegetarian options - everything tastes undeniably authentic but with a bit more modern twist. Exceptional. The sampler basket of all types of naan is a must!
