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.

    Brunch food was delicious and owner very gracious. Because if there is nothing late brunch we had, the restaurant was empty so hard to judge ambience but would definitely go again

    Our waitress was absolutely wonderful. She directed us to selections that were perfect for our group. She was extremely helpful and pleasant. The only complaint I have is that the acoustics made it difficult to hear each other. There were 5 of us at a round table and the restaurant was not very noisy but they could use some help with the acoustics. Otherwise this restaurant is one we will definitely go back to!

    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.
