1947 Eatery and Lounge brings a modern take to traditional Indian cuisine. They offer some unique options alongside the classics—and everything we tried was bold, flavorful, and delicious.
The atmosphere is sleek and modern, with a full bar and a private dining room that can host up to 50 guests for business meetings or celebrations. Service was fast, attentive, and friendly. If you enjoy Indian food, 1947 is definitely worth checking out.

This was an incredible dining experience. The food tasted awesome. The servers had a positive and professional attitude which was very pleasing. The hotel ambiences are quite esthetic. We, a family of 4 people ordered 2 mango Lassi, 1 butter chicken, 1 garlic naan, 1 cheese naan, 1 Hakka noodles, and 1 goat Biryani. The butter chicken and goat Biryani are one of the best I have tasted in a restaurant. If you are used to Indian spices the medium spice is more than sufficient. For people not used to much spices, mild may be a better option to consider. Prices were decent with taxes and tips in at $75. Will absolutely love to be back and refer the place. Only point to consider is that you should have the address because the entrance to the plaza is through a slightly back road although the restaurant itself is facing the main road.

As professional event planners, we have the privilege of working with the very best in the industry and 1947 truly stands out. The food is exceptional: beautifully executed, incredibly flavorful, and consistently impressive.
Beyond the cuisine, what truly sets 1947 apart is the people. The chef, owner, and entire team are not only incredibly accommodating and responsive, but also creative and thoughtful collaborators. They approach every event with care, professionalism, and a genuine commitment to excellence, which makes all the difference when planning high-touch, detail-driven events.
From inspired menu customization to seamless execution, the experience was flawless. We are grateful to partner with a team that delivers excellence not only on the plate, but in every interaction.

This has been one of my favorite place to go for Indian food. 1947 was one of the only restaurant in Carmel, Indianapolis and surrounding areas with a beautiful ambience. Most Indian restaurants in India will have similar ambience so it was a back home experience for me. If I have to take my family from India to a restaurant here, 1947 will be my choice because it has the class of how most restaurants are back home. I haven’t been there recently but whenever I have been there, service and food were exceptional too.

My boyfriend and I go to 1947 eatery often. Nash always greets us once we walk in and makes sure we have everything we need and everything is running smoothly. The rest of the staff are very friendly and attentive as well. The food (like the service) always exceeds our expectations. This has quickly become one of our favorite places to eat. We have truly gotten a bit of everything. Chicken curry, butter chicken, chicken wings, tandoori chicken, salmon, sea bass, shrimp, lamb chops, rice and garlic naan. We have also dabbled in a few specialty cocktails. I cannot express how nice the staff was. The food is always spot on! Our personal favorites are definitely the lamb chops, chicken wings, and sea bass. Here are a few pics I’ve taken….
