Inspired by one of the earliest civilizations in ancient history, the Indus Valley, the Indian fine dining concept will honor creating food for pleasure rather than simply sustenance, as the Indus people pioneered by being one of the first to blend and combine spices for flavoring.

    This was our first time experiencing the Brunch at Indus. It was out of this world good. We had kids in the party, who both got the pancakes. They are picky eaters who don’t finish their food often, and they got the chocolate pancakes and ate all of them. I had a bite, arguably the best pancakes I’ve ever had. I had the crab Benedict which was so fresh, and tasty. My wife had the shakshuka, again brilliant. We sampled the overnight oats, with fresh organic berries. The flavor was unlike any overnight oats I’ve ever had, wonderful. Finally we had the Dosa, which was great as well. The service was amazing as always. You feel so well taken care of at Indus, always feel like family there, each guest is pampered and treated incredibly well. The bottom line, if you go to Indus you are going to have amazing food, with great service and it is priced incredibly well. I’d recommend it to anyone for a wonderful brunch!

    Really solid restaurant with great authentic Indian food. The ambience is not fancy or genuine Indian, but for a suburban setting, it’s quite nice. Not sure the Wagyu was a high end cut (kind of fatty), but the tikka masala was off the charts.

    Very delicious inspired Indian cuisine and cocktails. We enjoyed the lamb curry, cumin rice, daal, grilled prawns, and other amazing dishes. Friendly and attentive service. Could only get an early dining reservation as it’s so popular, but so glad we did. Looking forward to coming back other times with the family to try the brisket and brunch.

    This restaurant truly exceeded our expectations. The food was delicious and inventive, and the service was fantastic. Not your average restaurant.

    Entering this fine Indian establishment you are greeted at the door by a lovely host who makes you feel like an old friend. The space itself is light and airy. Our server was incredibly funny and knew the food and what to recommend. You will feel very comfortable here. When the place is full it does get a bit loud, but it's not overwhelming. You can still have a conversation. The Bhoomi Burger is a chargrilled, lightly spiced lamb burger. If you like lamb you will love this burger. Absolutely delicious. It is served with caramelized onions, cabbage and avocado (which adds a nice creamy texture) and Indus's special chimmichutney on the side. Add it or don't. Either way, the burger tastes amazing. I would order it again!

    Dined here with my grandson. The food was delicious. We shared several items from the brunch menu: biryani, paneer tikka masala, and an Indian pancake with a tasty sauce. The naan could have been a little softer but everything else was excellent and we had enough food to take some home for later.
