This used to be my friend’s favorite Indian restaurant, however the quality has changed. The food is not bad, but it tastes too generic. They also charged us for a tea that we had not asked for. The interior has a comfy old feel to it. The music is odd as they play covers of popular English songs.
House of India is our FAVORITE Indian restaurant. The food is authentic/tastes homemade, delicious, fairly priced and always fresh. My late father was from Goa, India and we celebrated many of his birthdays at HOI.Recently, were so lucky to have HOI cater my father’s Celebration of Life Memorial Dinner. We were blown away by the customer service, and of course, by the amazing food. Kumar, the owner, was in direct contact with me and went above and beyond to make our event perfect and even shared kind words as he remembered my Dad.I can’t recommend this family owned, quality restaurant enough.Thank you again HOI!
The food was really good! I will definitely come back. Service was a bit slow, but they also had a full room and seemed to be a bit short-handed.
This used to be my favorite Indian place in STL, but my last two visits were pretty disappointing food wise. I love the classy, yet casual vibe: white tablecloths, candlelit tables, and suited waiters and ambiance here; you are treated well for sure. The garlic naan and samosas appetizer are still the best and by all means try their delicious mango lassi, a truly delicious smoothie yogurt drink.The daal was not hot and was thin and bland on our last visit and the little touches that made this place so special seemed to be gone. They no longer serve the little flatbread crisps and chutneys that used to be served to all tables as a little appetizer. The sauces don't taste the same. The meat was overcooked and dry in both our entrees and the spices could not be found. The food was not made with love anymore. Their lamb biriyani and chicken Tikka masala used to be so delectable, I requested this for my birthday dinner for over 15 years. I hope they fix it.
Friendly staff whom accommodated some of our party’s gluten free restrictions. Very good food and service. One added bonus is one of us forgot our wallet and our waiter ran outside to let us know.Highly recommend this establishment.
great food for vegetarians and carnivores alike! Not only that, but as someone always looking for a decent level of spicy, this place always hits the spot! My only complaint is that, if you order delivery through Doordash, the desserts are often forgotten.
Great service, nice ambience, but the grilled chicken tasted stale. I’ve went because of the great reviews, and maybe the curries and breads are good, but what I had was disappointing.
Yesterday, It was our first time in this restaurant. I rate 5***** for service. I rate 5***** for Cleaning and staff. But Food is okey. You have to tell him each and every details about spiciness Nd all. We order parathas but no oil, no butter on it. Is that thing that we should mention them. I don't think so. Secondly you have to make sure about quantity. Sabji quantity is very less compared to prices. Check my photos for their food and prices.
The place looks and feels the same (last time I came was 2018) but the food quality has changed dramatically. Almost all food is catered to the American palate: the samosa breading is more like bread than crispy crust, kheer is sweeter and with less rice, the rest of the dishes on the vege thali seemed very bland. Papadum was delicious, raita was good, but those are not what I come to Indian restaurant for. Service is still great, timely and polite. To summarize, if you want authentic Indian, go to South City.
We had Bhindi (okra) and chicken saag and they didn't seem fresh. Very flavorful, but seemed like they had been cooked previously. Prices were very reasonable compared to others. Would try other Indian restaurants next time.
