The Indian Belly

The restaurant itself is a very simple restaurant. They have a few tables and chairs and a counter where you can order. The meals are around $15 a person. My mate and I went together and I got the Samosa as well as the lamb korma. My friend got the steak bowl. We both liked our meals and enjoyed it, the price was reasonable, the portion was all right. The flavor was off the chain. I just would have appreciated a little more of the protein. The bowls are definitely rice heavy.

I live in Independence, Missouri, and I drove almost 50 minutes to get here! I heard about this place from TikTok! The people are incredibly sweet! I had the best butter chicken ever, and I love that the butter naan is thinner and so good! My husband got grilled masala steak, which wasn’t too spicy. All the meat was tender! He also got garlic naan. The samosas were the best we’ve ever had! The best mint sauce I’ve ever had was creamy! I’ll definitely be back! The price was pretty good for Indian food, especially since the spices aren’t easy to get here!

We’ve been twice now. Delicious!!! We weren’t sure what to expect because this menu was different from what we’ve had for Indian food in the past. It did not disappoint! We got bowls, naan, and an egg puff. Might be the best naan we’ve ever had. Generous portions on the bowls and the egg puff was delicious. Definitely go for the bowl and if you’re hesitant on the sauces just get all 4 on the side and give them a try!

The family and I finally got to try The Indian Belly tonight! I’m so happy to have a good Indian restaurant that’s so close to home. The staff is absolutely lovely! They were so patient and happy to explain the different menu items to my family. We got the steak bowl, the mutton kofta, and the paneer tikka masala — all of which was very well seasoned and generously portioned! I was personally happily surprised by the amount of meat/protein that each bowl came with as a lot of other restaurants tend to not add as much. We also tried the masala chai, the mango lassi, and the lime mint drink. The fan favorite was the mango lassi, so definitely give it a try if you’re there. Currently, they are hosting a special to celebrate Diwali and the whole restaurant is decorated in traditional colors

Absolutely what I was looking for! Everyone in the restaurant was super friendly, service was quick and the food is phenomenal! Butter chicken was delicious and the rice and accompanying salad were perfect. Garlic naan was on point and the mango lassi was well worth getting. Please support this lovely little local business!
