This is a surprisingly date-worthy location inside and every dish is a work of art assembled by a gourmet-inspired chef.

Taj Mahal Indian Kitchen

If you're looking for a beautifully unique experience, check out the Taj Mahal, named after the legendarily stunning tomb of an ancient queen in Agra, India. The Taj has an elegant black-and-white exterior, but the interior is bursting with color. Every wall is decorated with archways and beautiful hand-painted artwork from across the world.

Reviews rave about excellent food made with fresh ingredients and full of rich flavor. Advantages include casual patio dining, a drive-through for your take-out convenience, and they even deliver to your home.

Star of India

If you're looking fast and delicious Indian food, the Star of India is a fantastic place for lunch or a quick dinner. They offer a buffet of fresh and tasty classics along with spiced house-made Naan bread. You can also order your favorite dishes off the menu and there's always plenty to take home. Many people order Start of India takeout and enjoy the leftovers for days. But it's just as rewarding to dine in. The interior of this adorable restaurant is painted a soft dusty rose with lovely curtained archways and sculptural light fixtures over comfortable tables and booths.

GOAT Indian Bar & Restaurant

GOAT can stand for Greatest of All Time. In the case of the GOAT Indian Bar & Restaurant, it's also a clever comment on the menu. GOAT does, in fact, serve goat vindaloo, curry, korma, and kadhi in case you crave coat or are curious about what goat tastes like in classic Indian dishes. In addition, they also have a fantastic selection of dishes featuring chicken, lamb, shrimp, and vegetarian dishes. Like all great Indian restaurants, they make their own spiced Naan.

What might surprise you is the refined atmosphere. GOAT's interior is a gorgeous royal blue and dark polished wood with formal dining and bar tables, each with a tablecloth and very comfortable chairs. You can sit at the bar under soft blue lamplight or request a table for an intimate dinner with a partner or group.

Bawarchi Biryanis Indian Cuisine

Little Rock locals love Bawarchi Biryanis, especially when dining in larger groups. This is another cozy little strip mall restaurant with fantastic interior decor and a lot of charm. The long polished wood tables have made this an incredible restaurant for large groups dining together. It is very family-friendly, with many platters designed to be shared by four to ten people - including the legendary Dosa - a giant roll of flavorful bread on a platter of dipping sauces.

The biryanis are, of course, absolutely delicious, but you can find far more than rice on the menu, including family-style curry platters and thali served in a classic circle of sharable silver bowls.

Banana Leaf Indian Cuisine

If you're lucky and hungry for lunch, you might also catch the Banana Leaf food truck. They serve hot, freshly made Indian cuisine classics in beautiful takeout containers. The food truck serves an incredibly healthy range of foods. Their Indian offerings include Biryani, Tikka Masala, Vindaloo, Tandoori, and chickpea curry. But they also offer healthy grain bowls, veggie appetizers, and "curritos" (curry burritos) which the locals love. Complete your meal with a Mango Lassy or Hibiscus Tea and a square of Baklava.

Everyone who's stopped by this legendary food truck has raved about the flavor and quality, but it's not always in the same place. Keep an eye out for an opportunity for a great Indian lunch stop if you're out on the town.
