Midnight Temple

I recently visited Midnight Temple in Eastern Market. The space is incredibly colorful and vibrant, yet still manages to feel cozy and romantic with its low lighting. It’s the perfect blend of lively and intimate. The music was on point, and they even have a DJ booth, which adds to the gastropub vibe. The only downside to the ambiance was the huge TV in the back playing movies, it felt a bit like an eyesore and distracted slightly from the otherwise beautiful aesthetic. This Indian gastropub is also great for large groups — just be sure to call ahead and RSVP so they can accommodate you comfortably. Now, the food. Everything we ordered was delicious. The butter chicken was rich and creamy, and I love that they allow you to adjust the spice level. We ordered ours spicy, and it was perfect

My best and friend and I came up from Cleveland for a weekend in Detroit. After doing much research about different restaurants to go to, we decided to come to Midnight Temple because the vibes looked great. I made a reservation online but they didn’t even ask for my name, we just got seated immediately (you get to pick wherever you want to sit). Off the bat the vibes were great. There was moderately loud music and the lights are very colorful to match the vibe but they’re like muted colors so it’s not super in your face. For drinks, my friend got the Hidden Temple. She rates it a 7/10 and it is VERY strong. I got a mule (can’t remember the name of it but it started with a K) I give it 8/10. For appetizers, we got the Pani Puri & the chicken Tikka Rollups. We didn’t love the Pani Puri due

Visited for the first time with a good friend and was instantly impressed with the stairway up and the ambiance and atmosphere. Elton was awesome and recommended some great food options and gave some good info on the preparation. We had the chicken curry, the wings, and the vindaloo. Everything was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend

For pre-Valentines Day celebration, my partner and I came here for dinner before catching a show at the Detroit Opera House. Our server/bartender Elton was wonderful, his recommendations were on point and suggestions for spice level helped us order a meal that we really enjoyed! We arrived a bit early, so they didn’t have everything quite up and running yet but we were patient and Elton was extremely helpful and informative, and still our appetizers came out before our entrees and everything was delicious! Drink selections great, food selections wonderful, flavors were impeccable, and we will definitely be back! Plus, we were well informed during our meal and on our way out about their special events and were invited to return for ongoing festivities. Thank you for a great experience Elton

Walk through the door and up the stairs, and you are immediately captured by a world of wonder that hghithens your senses. We had an amazing evening at Midnight Temple — the place is truly unique in the Detroit scene, with a perfect blend of authentic spicy food, a warm atmosphere, great lounge music, and the genuine cordiality of the staff. The owner has the charm and talent to bring all of this together. Well done!
