As a big Thai fan, I know what it's like to try and find a good restaurant. And let's be real here: the Midwest isn't exactly known for its outrageously awesome Thai food. But maybe it should be. As it turns out, Indianapolis is filled with top-rated, absolutely spectacular Thai spots where master chefs create dishes as colorful and elegant as they are delicious. But what if you're not terribly keen on heading to the big city and instead prefer something a little more low-key? Hiding in a little suburb not too far from Indy (but not close enough to be busy all the time) is what's quite possibly the best Thai restaurant in Indiana. It's called Zapp Thai Restaurant, and everything here is wonderful... especially the Thai dumplings.

Located in a strip mall in between a famous coffee shop and a popular cell phone retailer is this little hole-in-the-wall Indiana Thai restaurant where your tastebuds are about to have an awesome party.

It's the epitome of a mom-and-pop restaurant where, should you visit enough times (and you're gonna want to), everyone will learn your name.

The interior is modern and the vibe is low-key.

It's nothing terribly fancy, though your first bite of literally anything you order is going to make you certain you're in some kind of four-star restaurant. Nope - just the best little Thai restaurant in all of Indiana (and more affordable, too).

One of the most popular go-to dishes that Zapp serves is actually an appetizer. The Thai dumplings are a can't-miss, especially if it's your first time visiting.

They are truly perfect; if you've ever wondered where you can get awesome Thai dumplings way up here in the Midwest, this is it. No matter where you're coming from, these little morsels alone are worth the trip. When it comes to awesome Thai restaurants in Indiana, this spot is a clear winner.

In fact, everything on the menu is delicious - and colorful!

The chefs at Zapp Thai are masters of their craft; each dish is as beautiful as it is wildly flavorful.

There's also an excellent wine selection, making this Indiana Thai restaurant a great candidate for a low-key, laid-back date night.

Never tried Thai food? No worries - this place is truly a perfect introduction to the world of Thai. It's expertly crafted here, and it's perfect for deciding whether or not it's for you.

We're pretty sure it will be, though - even if you're picky.

Other than the food, folks rave about the friendly service, knowledgeable staff, and warm environment. You'll always feel welcome in this lovely little slice of culinary heaven. It's no surprise that many believe it to be the best Thai restaurant in Indiana.
