BODHI

One of the nicer Asian restaurants in the neighborhood. We wanted to try this place for a long time since we were exploring Indy. First of all, this place is usually booked so it is advisable to make a reservation. The hosts are very nice and welcoming, and they accommodated our request, so we appreciate it. This place has a huge variety of different kinds of drinks which are great in my opinion. Our server was fairly new at the restaurant so he could not offer us more suggestions on what would be good. The food was different; I found it different than the traditional Thai type of food I was expecting. I was disappointed that there was probably a shortage of mushrooms when we were there and our server didn’t think to tell us when we ordered, so the order came without mushrooms. Their soup and noodle dishes are great and tasty! Overall, good vibes, decent service with a unique food and drinks experience!

Bodhi is always a 10/10 for me, and I highly recommend a visit! You will definitely want to make a reservation if you’re able to. The cocktails here are inventive and delicious, with a long list of rotating seasonal drinks to choose from, as well as the staple classics. The food is beyond delicious, and I’ve yet to try anything I didn’t enjoy here. The braised beef massaman curry is an absolute must try!!! The dish is so well balanced and flavorful, and I can’t visit Bodhi (or Indy in general) without getting it! Our server, Margo, is always such a pleasure! She brings the good vibes and good recommendations every time. If you’re in Indy and interested in some good Thai food, or some excellent cocktails, check out Bodhi!

The food was so good. We started with the crab puff and wings. The crab puffs being a traditional crab rangoon but even better. I ended up ordering the pad thai and it was very tasty! Loved all of the girly pop drinks too. The only downside is the 90 min time limit is heavily enforced and they will absolutely remind you when your time is up lol, so if you like to take your time this might not be the vibe for you, but otherwise it's worth at least one visit. Not sure if I'll go back because I don't like to be rushed especially if I'm catching up with friends.

We did our research and knew they open at 5pm and do not have online or phone reservations, so we arrived early enough. Good weather to just wait a bit outside. We got there around 4:45pm on a Friday, and there was already a line of about 20 people formed. It was worth it to be one of the first and not have to be on a long wait for sure. It was a pretty great experience overall. Service was very kind. We decided to sit outside in the garden area and it was really nice place for a date. We were really lucky, they had a new summer cocktail menu just come out (see picture). I really liked having the pictures of the cocktails to visually get an idea of what we’d be drinking. I really liked the style of the menu, and everything was shareable. Overall the cocktails were great. The fruit & fire reminded me of a summery orange margarita. I really liked the Seven Realms of Happiness drink too. We came for the pad thai noodles and it was amazing. We agreed that it was our favorite pad thai we ever had. Also really great yellow curry. 2 of the entrees were perfect size for sharing, we finished it all. We can’t wait to go back and try more!

this place is so good! one of my favorite restaurants in indy. the service is always great and the food is always delicious. the portion sizes are good too, you get a lot of food for what you pay. show up early because it fills up fast!

One of the best restaurants in Indy! Located on the popular Mass Ave strip near Bottleworks. Plenty of parking along the street or at Bottleworks. The level of flavor in every dish is outstanding. We’ve never had a dish that didn’t blow us away. So many vegetarian and vegan options. Most entrees can be made vegetarian or vegan. Their tofu is cooked to the perfect crispness! The vibe is hip and cool and perfect for a date night or night out with friends. Definitely the best Thai food in Indy!

Bodhi's is one of those restaurants that's so good you actually try to space out your visits-because you never want to get tired of it. Every time we go, it's just as amazing as the last if not better. We've been coming here for the past three years, and it has never let us down. From the savory small plates to the curries to the noodles, everything is consistently delicious. It's a family-owned spot and you can feel the pride and care in every dish they serve. My go to drink is the Seven Realms of Happiness-super refreshing, perfectly balanced, and definitely one of those drinks that makes you go "ahh" after the first sip. We try to switch up what we order, but everything is so good that sometimes we just stick to our favorites. And with the cold season coming I already know at least one of us will be choosing the yellow curry on repeat.
