Indian fusion gastropub with bold flavors & cocktails
"Midnight Temple offers market-goers an inviting environment in an intimate, moody setting to enjoy its array of Indian mainstays like hakka noodles, dosas, samosas, chicken tikka masala, plus sweet potato waffle fries with cilantro chutney. Diners can take in the club-like vibes in the bar area inside or can hang al fresco, while sipping on a cocktail from Midnight Temple’s next door neighbor, Detroit City Distillery, which features an outdoor bar area. Reservations can be made online." - Serena Maria Daniels
"Akash Sudhakara’s love letter to Indian street food is situated inside of a moody second-story gastropub in the heart of Eastern Market. Masala dosas, hakka noodles, battered and fried pakora fritters, and fusion tandoori are all delightful, and the prices are equally reasonable. Just about everything on the menu runs under $20. Sudhakara keeps the spirit of Indian street food alive in this dark, funky restaurant. Expect a lot of flavors, great portions, mom-inspired recipes, and a bit of fusion, too." - Danny Palumbo

"Midnight Temple opened its dramatic indoor space and bar after years of work, thus creating an inviting spot to enjoy dosas, samosas, and plates of hakka noodles whether inside or outdoors at the pedestrian-friendly street lounge space on Riopelle Street. In addition to the street food offerings, a full bar offers boozy takes on traditional beverages like mango lassi spiked with tequila, manzanilla sherry, honey, orange, and rosewater. Midnight also frequently collaborates with its Eastern Market neighbors for special events and offerings." - Serena Maria Daniels
"At Midnight Temple in Eastern Market, they're hosting a watch party starting at 1 p.m. and have added tandoori butter chicken wings to the playoff menu — wings sourced from Fairway Packing Co., marinated in masala, placed in a tandoor oven, then sauced again." - Serena Maria Daniels
