I recently discovered Viji’s Kitchen, and I’m SO happy to have her nearby! Viji is incredibly sweet, and I always enjoy chatting with her. She makes absolutely delicious food — I order at least two meals from her each week. She can adjust the spice level to your preference. I usually ask her to make mine just like she would for her own family since I love authentic Indian flavors and just returned from a year of living in India. Viji’s food is perfect every time!

We had my daughter’s 8th birthday party at Viji’s Kitchen and Catering and it was such a great experience. Viji went all out. She planned a full menu that worked for everyone (including dietary restrictions) and kept the kids engaged the entire time. The kids had hands-on cooking stations — cutting bread into fun shapes, making pizzas, helping with soup, and mashing potatoes. Everything was clearly designed with kids in mind and very well organized. The food was excellent (and not just “good for a kids’ party”). The meatball soup was a hit with both kids and adults, and the Indian-spiced chicken was my favorite. The kids also loved getting a tour of her industrial kitchen. Viji hosted everything at the Galley, handled all setup and cleanup, and made the whole thing incredibly easy for us as parents. She’s wonderful with kids and it feel extra special to celebrate with her. Absolutely worth it. We’d 100% book Viji again for another kids’ party or an adult event. Highly recommend!

The food was fantastic. Viji worked with me to accommodate a group of people who I was not quite certain about their experiences with Indian food and spices. She hit the nail on the head. Everyone loved the food. It is a great value for great food. She was so easy to work with. I cannot say enough good things about Viji, her cooking, and her staff.

Viji’s Kitchen and Catering is an absolute gem in Batesville! Every dish is bursting with authentic flavor and clearly made with so much care and love. The food is consistently fresh, perfectly spiced, and incredibly comforting — you can truly taste the quality in every bite. You can order lunch and dinner for take out or dine in, order catering for your next party, or book a cooking class for your family and friends. Viji is extremely kind and will make sure you are happy with your meal. Highly recommend! 🙂

Absolutely loved the food here! The flavors truly felt like home-cooked Indian food — authentic, comforting, and at the same time very tasty. You can tell the ingredients are fresh. What really stood out to me is that the food felt light and didn’t have the usual heavy after-effects that I’ve experienced at many other restaurants. Overall, a great place for genuine Indian food that tastes like it’s made at home, gut friendly. Highly recommended!

We’ve been happily ordering from Viji for years! She is a fantastic chef and she cooks based out of our community kitchen in our town. Menu changes weekly, you can eat at one of the tables or carry out with no problem. Her ingredients are fresh, her sauces are fantastic and she always cooks the proteins to perfection! Faves include her wraps, the black eyed pea curry, chili mango chicken, bang bang shrimp/chicken, the salmon Tikka and her shrimp tacos! If you’re in the mood for fantastic creative Indian cuisine that is flavorful and healthy look no further! The location is just 1-2 minutes off I-74 right in our little downtown Batesville with plenty of parking. Vegetarian and vegan options are almost always available, check the weekly menu on her website or Facebook/Instagram.

Viji is so great! She is so helpful, and she tries her hardest to make sure that there is a variety of different meals. She is also good about allergies! We have gluten and dairy allergies in our family, so we all appreciate how hard she works to keep gluten andairybfree options on her weekly menu!
