Hidden gem! I dare you to find better Indian grub at better prices. Anytime I'm on the SE side of town, I get excited to remember I can swing by Biji's Best. Tucked into a unassuming gas station, Biji's offers a rotating collection of hot meals that can be ladled out for take-away. Today's selection was black lentils with perfectly cooked rice ($5.50 for a generous portion). Snagged a Mango Lassi from the fridge for a mere $3. Everything was fresh and flavorful. Give them a try!

Best Indian food in Lincoln not too expensive and really good

I had been meaning to try this place for a long time and finally got to last week and I liked it quite a bit. The food was very tasty (The Oven is better and anyone who says otherwise is fooling themselves). The person serving up the food was kind as well. It lost a star on my review because of the prices. It is expensive. Gas station, cafeteria style (not made to order) food shouldn’t be that expensive. There’s a great Indian food buffet in Omaha that’s cheaper than a full order here… I know people really like it, and I liked it too but it won’t get added to my rotation because of the price unfortunately. FYI there is one table to sit and eat at. Most people take away.

I thought I didn't like Indian, but it turns out I've been looking in all the wrong places. Hidden in a gas station on Fridays in the best Indian I've ever had. It is worth the extra planning and travel. The samosas are life changing you have to try them. Also all the menus, online and in person have allergy information for each dish right next to it so you don't have to worry. Absolutely Amazing!

I hadn't been here in years but finally got to visit again on a Friday afternoon. A small kitchen nestled within a gas station store, they have different Indian dishes each Friday. I got a half order of butter chicken and just about inhaled it. The freezer also has a wide variety of Indian dishes. With so few Indian restaurants in Lincoln, this is definitely worth a trip from the other side of town.

I've never been to India and don't know what authentic India food tastes like but this place is the best for me so far. Compares with the Oven and Aroma. I like the taste of food here better! Naan is soooo good, Tandoori chicken and Beef curry are so tasty too!

What instantly draws you in is the generosity and care evident in every serving.

For vegetarians, Biji's Best has carved a reputation as the go-to spot, especially on Fridays when the shelves brim with hearty, plant-based dishes.

The single table available speaks to a community centered on takeaway, inviting locals and visitors alike to bring the taste of authentic Indian cooking into their own homes.
