Thai Cafe
One of the finest Thai restaurants in the city. Dine in and watch Thai-themed films on hi-res televisions in a teeny tiny restaurant or order to go. Arrive with plenty of time, there can be a wait. Not good for large tables, but if you have a party of 6 or less you should be okay. Great for couples. With 10 levels of spice, a good start level is 2. Amazing Thai ice tea and the greatest pad thai in town.

Side Wok Cafe
Good, affordable Chinese located in Broad Ripple. Clean, friendly and basic good food. Vegan friendly.
Drink
Union Jack Pub
English pub, that may expand with a second location in Hamilton County. This location offers family and bar dining. Both rooms are littered with well-placed English and local antiques and artifacts. Busts of great English minds greet you in the bar and televisions show sports. They have the best "Chicago Style" pizza in the city. Thick, hot and amazing. Great beer selection and weekly specials. They also have a great selection of whiskey and scotch. Friendly bar staff. The Speedway location is drenched in racing memorabilia, a huge bar with good music and lots of televisions.
