A day in Cleveland at the ballpark, zoo, or in the fabulous Metro parks are ones filled with making memories. But as many people know, this city has some pretty incredible restaurants to make your visit even more special.
For those who are looking for spicy or vegetarian options, don’t forget to try an Indian dish. Cleveland is a diverse city packed with different cultures and cuisines. The Indian food does not disappoint. Make sure to order Indian food for lunch or dinner when you are in town!
Order Up!
The first Indian cuisine we have to mention is, of course, Biryani. With its tasty spices and rice, this Indian dish is a staple that is sure to delight and satisfy a hungry diner. Biryani in most restaurants has several protein options, including chicken, goat, or beef. Not only that, but vegetarians can opt to order a meatless Biryani that is just as delicious.
Rice bowls are all the latest rage in restaurants of all types. Indian dishes lend themselves perfectly to a rice bowl. Take, for example, a Butter Chicken Bowl. Savory Butter Chicken blends perfectly with chana masala, rice, fresh onion, tomato, cucumber, lettuce, carrots, and lemon. A garnish of fried chili and cilantro can’t be beaten! When you see a rice bowl offered at a Cleveland Indian restaurant, definitely order one.
Eating Indian food is a great excuse to venture out into different types of proteins. When beef or chicken just won’t do, try something new. Goat is a delicacy not available on every restaurant menu. To venture into Indian cuisine, try Goat Haleem. This is a dish that is often described as a porridge or a stew. Some recipes call for crushed wheat and a blend of Indian spices. Pair it with a side of fresh Naan or Paratha.
A Perfect Snack
Wandering through Cleveland neighborhoods, museums, or shorelines can really build up an appetite. Indian cuisine has delicious appetizers that you can snack on to hold you over for meal time.
The most famously yummy starter has to be the Samosa. This handheld treat is perfect for slowing down and taking in the Cleveland sights. The mild blend of spices, peas, and potatoes makes for a delish snack.
A hot day in the summer sun calls for a refreshing Kachumber salad. Crisp vegetables of cucumber, onions, and tomatoes with cilantro, lemon, & chat masala is an excellent way to sate a hungry belly.
Relax and sit down to a plate of Pan Puri. This little snack is filled with chickpeas and potatoes with spicy flavored water as an accompaniment.
Satisfy your cravings for a taste of something deep-fried with an order or two of Pakora. A blend of unique Indian spices creates an unforgettable taste experience. Ask your waiter for their favorite dip and sauce recommendations.
An Invigorating Sip
Local Cleveland Indian restaurants often have their own unique tea recipes or Lassi recipes. When you are in town, refresh yourself in the hot months with the yogurt-based Lassi drink flavored with tropical mango. If there is a nip in the air, ask for an aromatic Masala tea!
