You will find a range of dining options within a 15-minute walk of IU Indianapolis and the Hampton Inn. Along Indiana Avenue and near the Canal, casual options such as Naf Naf Grill and Ali’i Poke offer quick meals, while nearby sit-down restaurants such as High Velocity and Conner’s Kitchen + Bar provide convenient evening dining.
A short walk into downtown opens access to well-known Indianapolis restaurants, including St. Elmo Steak House, Harry & Izzy’s, and The Capital Grille, all of which offer reliable evening hours.
For groups with varied food preferences, The Garage Food Hall features multiple vendors in a single location with a slightly longer walk time.
