Excellent Restaurant

by allison777

The House of India is a great restaurant. The food is excellent and the service is excellent. The portions are good, I have always taken some home with me. We have tried all the Indian restaurants in the St. Louis area and this is our favorite. Our only complaint is that we don't live closer. If we did, we would go once a week!

great food

by jerrynjess

this was our first foray into Indion food. We were unsure what to try. we had the chicken tandoori and the lamb vindoo. we found the food and the service to be excellant. We were surprised by the many layers of flavor the food had. The vindoo was awesome. The flavors and the heat built up as you ate it but the spicy did not over power the many flavors in the sauce. we plan on eating there again and soon.

• Pros: atmosphere was great
• Cons: a little intimadating menu wise do not know anything about indian cuisine

Make it take out

by gizellie

The food at house of India is INCREDIBLE! I have never had a bad meal, however, the service can be a bit off putting. We avoid this and get our weekly fix of Chicken Mahkni (sooooo good) by ordering carry out. If you order carry out they give you a discount on any purchase over 25 dollars (like 10% or something) and as we found out one night that we ate in, you also get more food when you carry out. The portions are almost double when you carry out as when you eat in. I asked the owner about this when obviously I was disappointed that the entree my husband and I normally share wasn't even really enough to feed me and he basically said, yeah, we put more food in the carry out boxes. It seems to me that they want you to carry out or at least not linger in their restaurant.

If you do decide that you would like to eat in the restaurant try going for lunch where they have a really good lunch buffet. The service is a little more relaxed and you definitely get a value.

• Pros: Good food, great carry out service
• Cons: service is iffy
