Hoosier Thai Restaurant

We walked down stairs into the subterranean dining room and were quickly greeted and seated. We snagged a booth and thumbed through the large menu. I noted an entire page of gluten-free dishes. We ordered: 🍛 #26 - The Cashew Nuts 🍛 #20 - Pad Kee Mao (Drunken Noodles) I was shocked when our food arrived in well under five minutes. I had to do a double-take! 😮 Now, we are lucky to have many Thai restaurants in Indianapolis; and I’ve been to several of them. In fact, my favorite restaurant in the city is Baan Thai Bistro, an amazing Thai spot. So understand that my basis for comparison is large and I’m tougher to impress with Thai food. 😬 That being said, both dishes came out hot and were nicely flavorful. I would put them on par with some Thai restaurants in Indy. I think local patrons will enjoy having access to authentic Thai cuisine. I found the veggies in the Drunken Noodles to lack some color and vibrancy. As I made my way to the inner noodles they were slightly undercooked and chewy. I wondered if perhaps their quick arrival played a part. 🤔 At $31, pricing was right in line with what I’ve seen elsewhere. It was the same for both lunch and dinner.

Great addition to Nashville for something different and they have a gluten-free menu. They offer heat levels for every taste, from mild to Thai spicy. The food is delicious and the service was friendly.
