“ We was first time in this place. All food was delicious. This is an incredible combination of spices and vegetables. We ordered the national bread and samsa. Be sure to come and try it. We will definitely come here again. The people here are very friendly and kind. ”
“ A roadside diner that has replaced the standard chicken fried steak menu with delicious Punjabi food. The food was great and really hit the spot after a long drive. The diner is a little old and dated but the service is friendly and the food is great. A nice change of pace from the typical interstate dining offerings. ”
“ Today I discovered a restaurant called the Indian Plate here in Kimball Nebraska. I had the Chicken Curry and Garlic Nan. The chicken curry came with long grain white rice. In my opinion the chicken curry was watered down. The rice was light and fluffy. If the curry had been a little thicker I would have really enjoyed it. As it was watered down it was pretty mild. The spice that I like might not be the spice you like, but it's not a long lasting taste. For my choice of beverage I had some Jamun juice. The menu is decent with a wide variety. I took pictures to add. So check out the menu too! ”
“ Giving a 5 star on the food, service & atmosphere. The parking lot is the as it has been since the previous owner had it. The building on the outside looks almost abandoned, but yes it’s open. They are remodeling and you can see signs of the debris outside around on the ground, lol. But the food good and tasty. ”
