Food is good for the soul. Any foodie knows that all too well.
But there’s food that’s good for the soul… and then there’s soul food. And no, they are NOT the same.
If you’re eager to know what the H–E–double hockey sticks we’re talking about, look no further than Tastes by Indy in Clintonville. This ghost kitchen concept operates out of High St. Kitchens, slinging out items that have quickly made a name for themselves as genuinely delicious (and equally wild) soul food concoctions.
Here’s what Tastes by Indy is all about, what you need to order, and our favorite thing on the menu. Just have a napkin ready in case you start drooling.
Tastes by Indy Menu
While you won’t find a platter of stork ankles, an old cell door, a possum spine, and a human foot on their menu like in this classic Key & Peele sketch, the flavor combos on Tastes by Indy’s menu aren’t to be trifled with.
Let’s start with the Soul Food Egg Rolls. Tastes by Indy stuffs them with collard greens, candied yams, mac and cheese, then deep fries it to a beautiful golden-brown! On the side you’ll also get their hot honey dipping sauce that’ll light you up in the best way possible.
But that’s just the beginning.
Taste by Indy’s Jerk Chicken Tacos deserve every bit of praise they are given. We’re talkin’ 4 tortillas smothered with juicy and spicy jerk chicken, pico de gallo, cheese, and their jerk sauce. The same goes for their Jerk Loaded Mac and Cheese, with creamy homemade mac topped with, you guessed it, jerk chicken and a sweet Thai sauce.

The Banana Pudding of Your Dreams
Not to discredit everything else on their menu, but the Banana Pudding is on an entirely different level.
Served inside a clear, 16 oz, to-go coffee cup, the Banana Pudding shows off it’s numerous layers of pudding and vanilla wafers, with a layer of whipped cream to top it off. While it looks way too big to finish in one sitting, you’ll quickly find yourself questioning where it went as you’re scraping the bottom of the cup.
