Welcome to a culinary journey through India, right here in the heart of Indianapolis! 500 Cafe & Catering presents an enticing menu that beautifully blends the rich heritage of Indian cuisine with contemporary culinary artistry. Our menu is an invitation to explore the diverse flavors, spices, and traditions that make Indian food a global phenomenon.

Indian cuisine is renowned for its robust spices and diverse cooking techniques, resulting in an explosion of aromas and flavors in every dish. From the aromatic biryanis of Hyderabad to the tangy fish curries of Kerala, we've curated a menu that pays homage to the regional specialties while adding our own innovative touch.

Exploring the Rich Terrain of Indian Cuisine

Our menu is a vibrant tapestry, woven with the finest ingredients and spices sourced directly from India. It's a food lover's dream, offering an array of vegan, vegetarian, and non-vegetarian options that cater to every palate.

We believe in serving food that not only tantalizes your taste buds but also nourishes your body and soul. That's why we use traditional, natural ingredients and prepare our dishes with love and care.

A Feast for Vegetarians

Vegetarians are spoilt for choice at 500 Cafe & Catering. Our menu is peppered with vegan and vegetarian dishes that are not just healthy but also incredibly delicious. From the creamy and tangy Palak Paneer to the subtle and aromatic Makki ki Roti with Matar Paneer, our vegetarian offerings are a celebration of nature's bounty.

Don't miss out on our signature Chana Masala, a protein-packed chickpea curry that's as hearty as it is flavorful. Or, try our intricate Vegetable Biryani, a harmonious blend of basmati rice, vegetables, and fragrant spices, slow-cooked to perfection.

Delights for Non-Vegetarians

Our non-vegetarian dishes are a testament to the exotic and bold flavors that Indian cuisine is famous for. Indulge in our tender Butter Chicken, a rich and spicy tomato-based gravy, or our succulent Rogan Josh, a aromatic lamb dish from Kashmir.

For seafood lovers, our Goan Fish Curry is a must-try. It's a tangy and spicy affair, with a hint of coconut, that perfectly complements the fresh catch of the day. And let's not forget our Tandoori Special - a traditionally marinated and clay-oven cooked selection of meats that's as antioxidant-rich as it is delicious.

Satisfying Your Sweet Tooth

The meal may end, but the journey doesn't have to. Our dessert menu is a sweet symphony of Indian classics and modern interpretations. From the quintessential Rasmalai to the innovative Mango Lassi Panna Cotta, we've got desserts that are as indulgent as they are delightful.

Wash it all down with a steaming cup of our house-brewed Indian Chai, or for a refreshing alternative, try our trademark Mango Lassi - a yogurt-based drink with a burst of tangy and sweet mango flavor.
