Inspired by one of the earliest civilizations in ancient history, the Indus Valley, the Indian fine dining concept will honor creating food for pleasure rather than simply sustenance, as the Indus people pioneered by being one of the first to blend and combine spices for flavoring.

Restaurant not stocking lower price wines (which start around $70) pushing customers to buying high-end wine.

Loved it! I especially loved that the owners went table to table greeting diners. It’s a rare thing these days. Good was great and options on spice level. So glad it’s a new addition to the north shore!

The food at Indus was delicious and did not disappoint, and the cocktails were also creative and delicious. However, the service was very slow and the acoustics were not great. It was very loud and it was difficult to carry on a conversation without raising your voice. Overall a good dining experience and we would go back for the great food.
