Cold weather and Indian food go together like peas and carrots. I work downtown, and the more the snow accumulates in the weather, the stronger my craving for Indian food from Indie’s.
Located in the Old Arcade on the south side of Euclid near E. 4th, a co-worker introduced me to Indie’s about two years ago when it was just a small stall. It’s since expanded to two side-by-side stalls and is run by a husband and wife team of Indian descent.
The food is fantastic. I’ve tried the chicken tikka marsala, the chicken makhani and other dishes, but usually gravitate toward the chicken korma, which has chunks of tender chicken bathed in a warm, creamy gravy sauce with onions and served over rice. You can score a dish and two pieces of naan for less than $6.
There are tables to eat lunch and read the paper by your lonesome or with a friend. A couple of our Indian friends swear this spot is the best place for authentic Indian food in Cleveland.
When I’m on the East side, I usually head to Café Tandoor for some saffron rice, paneer makhani and matar paneer. Also delish.
Indies is the best! I highly recommend the Chicken Vindaloo...it is nothing short of amazing.
