Indianapolis Sister Cities International Celebration

Yesterday evening was the Indianapolis Sister Cities International Celebration. It was the first time this event was held and I think it was a great success. The event was held outside at City Market (which is one of my favorite places in Indy). It featured samples of international food, ethnic booths and music, and a brief explanation by Mayor Ballard of the celebration and honoring of representatives from Indianapolis' Sister Cities.
Here is a picture of a few of my coworkers along with Mayor Ballard.

There were probably 10-12 ethnic booths and each booth featured a few international dishes. There was a lot of good food. However, two places stole my heart. The first already had it, but I wanted to highlight it anyways because it's SO good!

India Palace is one of my favorite Indian restaurants in Indianapolis. Usually the only time I go there is for lunch for their buffet. I am not typically a fan of buffet's, but Indian food is the best kind of buffet you can get!

They didn't disappoint either and served two of my favorite dishes along with rice.

 Chicken Makhani

Mattar Paneer



The next place I wanted to highlight is somewhere new to me...and now I am dying to go eat there!

The Red Lion Grog House served homemade macaroni and cheese and shepherd's pie. It was delicious. This is on my top priority of places to eat in the near future.

It was a good time and I'm already looking forward to next year!
