Ralph's Great Divide has a great little kabab lunch and is famous for their cheese potato soup (Hot Pot Aug). Pea salad also recomended. It's in a remote little corner of downtown off New York and Davidson, just before the interstate on the right.

Someone from SI suggested I post this message to this special group. I hope you don't mind. I am conducting focus groups to explore Hoosier’s restaurant and eating habits. We are looking for individuals to participate in this one hour study to help us learn more. Participants will receive $40. Focus groups will be held in Greenwood and Castleton on July 22 and July 23, respectively. Times include 11 a.m.-noon, 12:30-1:30 p.m., 5-6 p.m. and 6:30-7:30 p.m. If interested, I have a short form that I'm hoping I can upload to this message. If it doesn't work, please e-mail me and I will send it to you. kelly@baisecommunications.com

Thank you in advance for your time. I've enjoyed seeing your comments and look forward to being a part of this group too. Thanks.

Hi Shelly,

Janko's Little Zagreb is indeed a dive: dark lighting, bad decor, mismatched tables and chairs, smoke from the fire pit in the restaurant. And yes, they do have absolutely incredible steaks.

For the best steak EVER (never frozen meat!) visit Janko's Little Zagreb in Bloomington: 223 W 6th St, Bloomington, IN 47404
(812) 332-0694 - Closed Sundays. Well worth the drive. Also, please visit: http://indyethnicfood.com/ for a comprehensive directory of restaurants, searchable by ethnicity, chain or independent, zip code - includes reviews!

Sara,
I love Indian and Thai, and Middle Eastern. There's a great restaurant in Castleton, Mediterraneo. Their dinner menu is ok, the usual stuff, but their lunch buffet is a sight to behold. The owners are Persian so they put Persian dishes on there that are to die for. One of my very favorite dishes ever is Fessenjen, chicken slow cooked with crushed walnuts and pomegranate syrup, served over rice. Incredible.

lots of great Indian food at last. I nearly didn't move to Indy when I found there were no indian or thai restaurants in 1986! Recent lunchtime favorite buffet is Amber Indian 126 and Meridian, west side of road on set back strip.. hard to pick a favorite dish as lots to choose from but palak panneer and chicken tikka masala excellent. Fresh naan brought to your table

gyros and kebabs has a great lunchtime buffet. just west of michigan on the south side of 86th Street.usual gyros meat and great falofel, but do try the green beans in lovely, light aromatic sauce. Mixed bean salad, tabouli and humous also very good. All dishes cooked under direct supervision of the wonderful Fatima(owner)

I love the pad thai with shrimp at the Thai House.Please note that the restaurant is in the process of moving to 96th and michigan(just east of McDonalds off 465) and will reopen sometime in august as Thai Papaya. Their green chicken curry is excellent too.

Jennifer -- You are getting all that yummy stuff at the Shelbi Street Cafe. The Fountain Square Diner is now just a tiny corner in that building and the Smokehouse on Shelby occupies what used to be the larger portion of the diner.
