We always get takeout and there are a variety of fun specials during the week to encourage return trips. Prices are sneaking up a little bit as long as they don’t get too expensive I will eat here frequently. Never dined in, doesn’t seem super well suited for it.
The food here is quite authentic to say the least. The combination of herbs and spices in their entrees make the food flavorful. The basmati rice is perfect for these type of dishes. The service was good and the time to receive our food was on point. I highly recommend for first timer to get the naan flat bread; dip it in the sauces from the entree to give the full experience of Indian and Bangladesh cuisine.
Authentic and awesome! Currently no dine in.. and kind of sketch area.. but delicious.
1 star off because they dont label the dishes in your go bag and unless you're super familiar, you dont know what is what.
But yum!
I've eaten at over a dozen Indian restaurants and this is the best my husband and I have visited. The service was good, the food was excellent, the live music made me want to dance and the vibe set a romantic tone. Overall, it was a perfect experience and I highly recommend trying this place!
I immediately appreciated this restaurant for not making their food (especially the channa) oily. Naan could have been buttered but went very well with the channa. The buffet also included equally tasty lentil and aloo sabji options to have with the seasoned or basmati rice. The aloo bajjis were quite oily but this did not take away from their taste, which I enjoyed after dipping into the green/spicy chutni (sweet variety was also available). I ate the salad to start light before moving on to everything else in the lunch buffet. The cool kheer and mango custard dessert options were delicious and especially welcome on a summer day. 10/10 and will definitely return!
Great food, colorful interior, good prices, right off West River Parkway, Gandhi Mahal will become a regular stop for me.
Super nice Indian food. Somewhat on the spicy side though. All in all a great experience - but I am sucker for good Indian food.
The food is absolutely fantastic - you're going to be paying a touch more than a basic Indian restaurant, but holy moly, it's soooo good! The only complaint I have is that the wait was incredibly long - my wife placed our order last night and was told to arrive in 20-25 minutes (we ordered to go). She got there 25 minutes later, and still had to wait another 30+ minutes. They also did not have an organized to go scheme, but I believe we ordered on day 2 of their new operation, so I bet in a week or two they will be operating much more smoothly.
All that said, you've gotta go here. I had dreams about their naan and tandoori chicken last night.
My first authentic Indian food and it was great. Cool atmosphere, awesome service, generous portions, and great food. Will definitely be back.
I LOVE Gandhi Mahal!!!! This is my go-to Indian place every time I am back in the Twin Cities. I believe they grow and use all their own spices.
Be warned... if you order “spicy” it’s not midwestern-spicy. It’s the real deal.
As a lot of my buddies are in the Seward/Longfellow area we will frequently order this as delivery or pick up for a night of table-top or computer gaming.
