DAILY GRILL INDIAN RESTAURANT — Restaurant in Liberty Township

After 30 years as a foodie, ferreting out the elusive "hidden gem". Enter this nondescript eatery located inside of an old truckstop. Let me premise by saying, my being here was not a result of countless hours of research. But rather due to a mechanical failure that I addressed and merely wanted to wash up. When I entered i noticed a faint hint of, Moroccan? Or possibly Indian? . So subtle I could scarcely make it out. Unlike the hundreds of so called Indian restaurants that think heavyhandedness with spices defines it as Indian. I glanced into the almost empty restaurant, see no one in attendance. A fellow (later I discovered is the chef) poked his head from the kitchen and said something that sounded like menu, and gestured. Well, if you insist I thought. Glancing thru it I saw one of my favorites Tandoori Chicken. So i got his attention and ordered that along with some garlic naan and rice.. After some 30 minutes I began smelling increasingly pleasant aromas wafting from the kitchen. And at about the 50 min mark, an older grandpa type hustled out to my table and presented me with 2 Styrofoam containers. I looked skeptically at them , but the aromas demanded a closer look. The visual inside was unexpected and beautiful. One bite and I knew I was in the presence of a master chef! The most skillfully balanced flavors and textures, playing a glorious symphony on my tastebuds. I live 150 miles from this place, but it will be in the future. A dining...

While driving to Fort Wayne, Indiana, I noticed a sign on the highway for the “DAILY GRILL INDIAN RESTAURANT Punjabi Dhaba.” The word “Dhaba” caught my eye, so I googled it and decided to give it a try. I made a U-turn and headed to the restaurant, which is run by Billu Bhaji and Pardeep Bhaji.

From the outside, it looks like an American restaurant, and the inside ambiance is similar to an American diner. I was warmly welcomed by Billu Bhaji, and I told him I was hungry and wanted authentic Punjabi Indian food. I ordered Palak Paneer and Butter Naan.

Let me tell you, the taste was truly authentic—I haven’t had food like that in years. The service was excellent, and the owner even told me that if I didn’t like the food, I wouldn’t have to pay. Who says things like that in today’s world? If you’re ever in the area, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food is amazing, and the hospitality is exceptional. They even offered me a chai.

Good luck to them, and I will definitely try to return...

My husband and I moved into the area last year and found ourselves driving to Toledo to get Indian food and was really happy to see a closer option.

We tried to call to order takeout ahead of time but received the truck stop recording and didn't know how to reach the restaurant since we weren't familiar with that particular area. We ended up ordering and waiting at the restaurant, which didn't take too long since they're new and wasn't busy at the time.

We ordered the butter chicken, paneer tikka masala, lamb biryani, garlic naan, basmati rice, and tried the mango lassi. Though everything was absolutely delicious, my husband's favorite was the lamb in the biryani, and my favorite was the paneer tikka masala. It was much more rich, smoky, and sweeter than any other paneer tikka masala I've tasted before.

I definitely recommend, and we will surely...
