Having Indian Food Cravings? - You Have To Try India's Restaurant in Shreveport, Louisiana | Ken's Restaurant Reviews
Written By Ken Hulsey
Last night, while in Shreveport, I found myself craving something for dinner but couldn't decide what exactly I wanted. Seeking inspiration, I turned to the internet to see which local eateries had received favorable reviews. Mexican food was an option, but I have that often. Chinese food was a possibility, but my wife likes it, and I didn't want to go without her. Then I remembered Indian food - something I hadn't had in a long time.
After some research, the place that seemed to have the best online reviews was a local spot called India's Restaurant. Luckily, it was only about a 15-minute drive from my hotel, so I decided to give it a try, despite the distance being a bit far, especially after a long day of driving.
Thankfully, the trip was well worth it, as the food at India's Restaurant turned out to be excellent. The restaurant is nestled in Shreveport's historic district, housed in an older building that gave me pause for a moment. But I've learned that when it comes to great food, looks can be deceiving. This place had the goods.
The young man at the front, who was juggling host, waiter, and server duties, greeted me promptly and directed me to the dining room. I perused the menu and opted for one of their combo platters, figuring it would give me a nice sampling. While I had to wait a bit for my order due to the server's multitasking, another customer who arrived after me ordered the same thing, so I felt confident I had made a good choice.
When my "India's Dinner for One" arrived, I was pleasantly surprised. The portions were generous, with four pieces of delicious naan bread, tandoori chicken, shrimp, tikka masala, and dal makhani. In fact, the amount of food was easily enough for two people to share. I managed to put away a solid 80% of it, but I was left feeling like I was about to burst, Ã la Violet Beauregarde.
Despite the risk of overindulgence, the meal was absolutely worth it. This was hands down the best Indian food I've had in at least seven years, since my days in California. I was thoroughly impressed by the quality and flavor.
As if the excellent food wasn't enough, my multitasking server went above and beyond by providing me with a complimentary mango smoothie when I paid the bill. That's the kind of customer service that keeps me coming back.
I can't recommend India's Restaurant enough, whether you're an Indian food aficionado or simply curious to try it. I'll definitely be making a return visit the next time I'm in Shreveport for work.
