Authentic regional Indian cooking at 1947 Eatery & Lounge. This is not your standard tikka masala place. The chef is from Kerala and the seafood curries are unlike anything else in Indianapolis.

The butter chicken at 1947 Eatery & Lounge is the best I have had outside of Delhi. Rich, creamy sauce and perfectly tender chicken. The garlic naan is fresh from the tandoor and worth every calorie.

Incredible lunch buffet at 1947 Eatery & Lounge in Indianapolis. Over 20 dishes and everything was fresh and flavorful. The chaat station alone is worth the price. I go every week now.

1947 Eatery & Lounge knows how to cook biryani. Aromatic rice, tender meat, and the right balance of spices. Order the raita on the side and the mango lassi to cool things down.

Best Indian food in Indianapolis hands down. 1947 Eatery & Lounge has an extensive menu covering North and South Indian cuisine. The dosas are crispy and the sambar is deeply flavored.

Took my non-Indian friends to 1947 Eatery & Lounge and they were blown away. The staff helped guide us through the menu and recommended perfectly. Everything from the samosas to the gulab jamun was exceptional.

Solid Indian restaurant in Indianapolis. 1947 Eatery & Lounge has good tikka masala and the saag paneer is nicely spiced. Vegetarian options are plentiful and everything is clearly labeled.
