April 11th - Omega Restaurant

On April 11th, I went to our usual Sunday morning brunch with my family. However, we went to a very unusual place. The old Ground Round (and old IHOP) was turned into a bright and cheerful family restaurant. The food was good, but not fantastic. However, their prices are really fair. You get a ton of food for the price.
I ordered scrambled eggs with feta, but most of my family ordered pancakes and loved them. They are huge! And you can get the 2 by 2 by 2 - 2 huge pancakes, two eggs any style and 2 pieces of bacon or sausage. Plus your choice of toast. And all of that is for about 6 bucks!

April 10th - Khoury's Meditteranean Grill

On April 10th, we had a lot going on in the morning, so we were heading to pick up lunch. I of course wanted to visit a local place that wasn't too far. So I convinced Brian we needed to try Khoury's. We drive by it all the time, since its on Broad Ripple Ave just west of Keystone. So we went inside. Every day (except maybe Sundays) they have a $5.99 lunch buffet. Since I heart Greek food, that is of course what I got. Brian ordered the Magic Chicken Sandwich. He said it was really yummy.
They also offer hooka rental in the bar area. We didn't get one (because it was noon on a Saturday), but someone else did and it looked like fun.
Maybe another time...

April 3rd - Union Jack's

Sorry these are out of order, but I realized that I haven't discussed Union Jack's yet. And honestly, that is a crime against this delicious local place. Union Jack's has 2 locations - one in Speedway on Crawfordsville Road, and one in the heart of Broad Ripple. We visited the Broad Ripple location on Saturday the 3rd to watch the Butler Bulldogs play in the Final Four over some Chicago Style deep dish pizza. Although all of their food is very very good, the reason why we go is their pepperoni deep dish. In my opinion, it is the best you can get in Indy. It takes 40 mins to cook, but it is worth every minute. They also have a very extensive domestic, import and microbrew beer list that is very reasonable in price.
We personally enjoy the Broad Ripple location because of its close proximity to home, their garage door style windows that open to the Broad Ripple strip, and their no smoking policy. The Speedway location still has smoking, so they do not allow people under the age of 18 to patronize their location. But if the westside location is closer to you, and you don't mind the smoke, the food is the same. Incredibly delicious, and reasonable in price.

April 7th - Sakura

On April 7th, my husband and I went to arguably the best sushi place in the city - Sakura. Located on Keystone and 71st Street, this inconspicuous little restaurant is almost always packed. The walls are lined with signatures from famous people throughout the years (Ahmad Rashad, Bob and Tom, the Andrettis, etc) who have come to feast on authentic Japanese goodness. This place doesn't have the habachi tables that so many Japanese restaurants use as their focus. Here, the focus is fresh sushi, and a few traditional entrees such as teriyaki chicken, tempura, udon and negimayaki.
We got a side salad, the tempura appetizer, and two rolls a piece (california, shrimp tempura, Rock n' roll, and their specialty - soft shell crab). Our food was delicious and super filling. And we walked out of there with a tab of $30 (before tax and tip) and happy tummies.
Definitely something I recommend for someone looking for authentic Japanese food. If anyone wants company when they try it out, let me know! I'll happily join you!
