Adda Indian Cuisine at Purdue

I was visiting from New Jersey and had the chance to have dinner at Adda. The food was really good. Everything tasted really well and had flavor of its own. The food portions were also sufficient. I also appreciated the fact that the food was fresh and hot :)))) The restaurant was built with a lot of love and thought. From the lighting to decor to the overall ambiance, everything was beautiful. The service was my favorite part!!!!! The staff was extremely friendly and really went above and beyond to ensure our overall experience was good 🫶🏼 Would definitely come back again. :)))

Serves really good Indian cuisine. Tried Boneless Chicken Biriyani and Mango Lassi. Both tasted good. The blend was nice with spice level suitable for low spice lover. Their interior is well designed too.

Edit after 2nd visit for Bombay street food (and as a Mumbaikar, I am a street food snob with high expectations): the Pani Puri wasn't heartbreaking, but wasn't satisfactory either. They use concentrate for the teekha pani, and the puris are not the most authentic ones. Ragda wasn't hot. Small corrections can make it much better. The chhole is more like pindi chhole - it's absolutely delicious. The Mysore masala dosa was good, but the filling was very little. Sambhar is Telugu style and not Udupi style which is usually available in Bombay street food. The chaat is good but claiming it as Bombay style sets somewhat different expectations in terms of style and authenticity levels. The server was honest to tell us what to expect. Small changes can make the food even better, but i liked the food and will visit again for other items. Original review: I would give them 10 stars if i could! Amazing food. If this restaurant was in India, it would do well, and that's one hell of a compliment. Strongly recommend the baingan saraf if you like the taste of kadhi patta and coconut milk. I'm yet to try the Bombay street food, but I'm looking forward to it. I also appreciate that they have clearly labelled vegan and vegetarian dishes.

Delicious, good sized portions - and, incredibly for Indian food in the US, not super oily! Also really impressed by the diversity of the menu, with both north and South Indian influences. Highly recommended! We had the goat biryani, navaratnam korma, and chaat.

Adda Indian Cuisine is a gem near Purdue! The atmosphere is cozy and modern—perfect for hanging out with friends or grabbing a flavorful meal after class. The interior feels warm and welcoming, with subtle Indian touches that give it a casual yet elegant vibe. The food is absolutely delicious. We tried the Bombay street snacks, Tandoori Shrimp, and Podi Masala Dosa—all bursting with authentic flavor and beautifully presented. Everything was fresh, well-seasoned, and clearly made with care. What really made our experience special was our server, Pranali. She was so kind, attentive, and helpful with menu suggestions. She made us feel right at home and ensured we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Her service really elevated the whole experience. Highly recommend this spot if you're in West Lafayette or near Purdue—Adda is a flavorful escape with outstanding service. Ask for Pranali!

Adda Indian Cuisine continues to impress! I tried the Chicken 65 Biryani and it was absolutely delicious — spicy, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The chicken was crispy on the outside and juicy inside, blending perfectly with the fragrant rice. The service was top-notch, with friendly staff making the experience even better. The atmosphere is vibrant and welcoming. Definitely a must-visit spot for anyone who loves bold Indian flavors!

Had another wonderful meal at Adda Indian Cuisine! I tried the Chicken Vindaloo, Goan Shrimp Curry, Lamb Rogan Josh, and finished with their delicious Rice Pudding. Every dish was packed with bold, authentic flavors — the Chicken Vindaloo had the perfect spicy kick, the Goan Shrimp Curry was rich and flavorful, and the Lamb Rogan Josh was tender and deeply spiced. The Rice Pudding was the perfect sweet ending. A huge thank you to our server Pranali, who made the experience even better with her warm, attentive service. The welcoming atmosphere and consistently excellent food make Adda a must-visit!
