Customer Reviews

"We loved this Indian Restaurant. The lunch time buffet is incredibly extensive, with soups, pakora and other appetizers along with a large selection of curry both meat and vegetarian. Salad to accompany the meal and naan bread readily available. The service is excellent and attentive. The ambience is great, unobtrusive background music and videos of India. Definitely will be returning, the food is delicious!"

"We're on a road trip back home and been missing some good Indian food. This is easy access from the I-70, so if you're like us passing through, WELL WORTH IT! We got the Palak Panner and YUM! The spice was just right and I inhaled it as quickly as it arrived. This is a legit establishment and the atmosphere is nice and clean too. There is a ton of seating if you have a large family or want to come with friends."

"This place is amazing. It is a shame it took so long for myself to check out. Awesome food with a nice staff. If your looking for something different (Indian and Nepalese food) that tastes great, give Kasthhammandap a try."

- Bob B.

"This is my favorite restaurant in Terre Haute. Every time my boyfriend and I go, we try something new and we are never disappointed! The staff is so friendly and the atmosphere is great. I love the features they have to make it feel like more of an experience of Himalayan & Indian culture. So far we have had the lamp biryani, chicken tikka masala, butter chicken, lamb dopyaza, Spicy chili momo, yak momo, mix tandoori grill and we tried the boba Thai tea today. Everything arrives to your table with incredible aromas and amazing flavor. Our staples for every meal are the vegetable samosas and the garlic naan. So yummy! You won't regret giving this place a try."

- Tevy S.

"I've eaten here about 6 times, both during the buffet and not. It's all been so, so good. I try something different every time and never been disappointed yet!"

- Karie C.

"Best Place for Biryani. I had tried so many different places but this is the best place I ever. Thanks for bringing such a wonderful cuisine in Terre Haute."

- Shay a.

"Delicious food. Had the goat saag and it was delightful. If you are not used to Indian goat, be prepared to get a little messy as there WILL be small pieces of bone throughout that you'll need to sort yourself - if you're too picky for that, the lamb is also wonderful and served boneless. Would definitely recommend."
