The Indian Kitchen

"This place is a hidden gem. It’s my absolute favorite place to eat in Lake County. The food is full of flavor, fresh and delicious. We enjoy the naan basket (bullet flavor is one fav) and pretty much anything on the menu. My son loves the goat curry and I enjoy butter chicken. You can’t go wrong. Get a mango lassi or their tea for a fun drink."

"They blessed me by giving my entire meal (two entrees & appt) for free for being s regular customer. Never experienced that from any establishment in mentor and they deserve respect and admiration for that. A very unique restaurant and with very unique people that are very attentive and kind. Definitely one of the best Indian restaurants in the northeast if not all of Ohio. And they’re CONSISTENT. Never had a bad experience here and they work very hard. Much love for this place. They deserve much success."

"Second time having a meal from the Indian kitchen and the food tasted just as delicious as the first time. This was our first time dining in, and the atmosphere as well as the service were what you would hope to expect when dining out."

"Went out of my way to try this because it's a friend's favorite. It was packed on a Saturday night and a line waiting. I ordered a red wine that I had to send back it was so bad, but the substitute was better. The menu is diverse, with the usual Indian dishes and lots of vegetarian choices. I ordered the butter chicken (entrees come with rice) and samosas. The samosas were very small, hard, and disappointing, but did come with tamarind and mint sauces. The butter chicken had a lot of white meat and a flavorful tomato sauce that was on the thinner side. The star of the meal was the bread, which seemed scratch-made, light and fluffy, and delicious. I could've just eaten bread and been happy! I got some Cucumber Raita that was in a small condiment cup and a miss--especially for the $3.50 or so price! Overall, a good meal saved by the bread, but it was overpriced in some items. Worth a try if you're in Mentor and want to try something new."
