If yall never seen it, royal indian grocery is the Indian market/restaurant located close to notre dame (across from smoke time and next to Blarney Stone). They’ve finally opened their restaurant after being only a grocery store for a while, it’s so underrated imo. The food is so damn good. It’s authentic as fuck and different from most Indian food I’ve had around here in the best ways possible. My favorite things to get are the chicken tikka masala or butter chicken with garlic naan and rice, but they have a pretty wide selection of different dishes! The people who work there, especially the chefs are so kind and hardworking. It seems they’re just starting out and in the process of getting everything running smoothly, so be patient with em-if there’s a wait, it’s absolutely worth it. I’d highly recommend giving it a try!!

Hiii!!! Newer to the southbend area... absolutely love to sing karaoke. Anyone know where some karaoke spots are in SB and what the daily spots are? I thought there was an impressive karaoke chart floating somewhere on this subreddit but it no longer exists.

Thanks!

Hey, all! Recent transplant to the SB/Michiana area and have been desperate to find some good places for used media, particularly DVDs and Blurays. I know about Disc Replay in Mishawaka, and of course the Half-Price Books near there, but honestly the selection at both is pretty limited with HPB having somehow more than Disc Replay. Is there any other stores around that I’m missing? Anybody been to any of the other Disc Replay stores that have a larger movie and tv selection? Would love any recommendations!

Hey everyone i need to stay in sb for two months (january-february), where should i look for a place to live at? It will be only two months

Would be grateful if anyone can recommend a home inspector they've had a good experience with. I am buying in a rural area near South Bend. Thank You!

I recently started making regular drives to Goshen and headed east on US 20, about 2 miles before the exit for Goshen College, there's this torch that seems to burn always and forever. Anyone know what's being burned or why? I assume it's some agricultural related thing. This morning it was really reaching for the sky.

I'm missing some decent live music and don't feel like moving back to Mamphis or Madison, but where are the clubs??

Sanaa chocolate is (temporarily?) closed. It's the best chocolate I've ever personally paid for in my life, and this includes MarieBelle chocolate in NYC.

I especially liked the tart fruit bonbons like raspberry. As good as the chocolate was, I think the strongly flavored fillings are what set it apart for me. The chocolate-covered dried oranges were another favorite.

Now that they're away, what other incredible luxury chocolate is available? Violet sky is good for bars of chocolate rather than truffles/bon-bons, and South Bend Chocolate Cafe is best for atmosphere or for "Here, I brought you a gift from my home city" while traveling.

I (22F) recently moved back home from college and with it all my friends. I'm having trouble making some other female friends my age in the area. I live a bit farther north (Berrien Springs), but have a car and willing to make the treck. Most clubs I've seen are for moms or kids. I really get overstimulated in places like bars. I'm a bit more of a creative person, so I want to attend some events in the maker space but don't have the money to spend $40 on an event each week. I've been to some events at Gaming stores (Fantasy Games, Warehouse, etc) but the attendance tends to lack a bit of estrogen lol. As a result I'm kind of at a standstill. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

My partner's young adult son is looking to rent a room in the Goshen or Elkhart area (possibly South Bend or Mishawaka or southern Michigan if needed)

He is reliable and can provide a security deposit and has other adults who can also provide financial security if needed. He is employed and works full time hours.

He is in a transitional phase and just need somewhere to sleep and exist for a couple of months while working until his next option is available.

Squirrel, mice, termites and maybe other else that I don't know.

Reliable mechanic on the south side that will install my own parts? - I know about Dave's, Tims, etc but they usually scoff at installing a customers parts, so anyone know if a reliable shop on the south side that will gladly do the labor?

Delete if not allowed, but I am going to be attending my first Notre dame game in south bend, and I live 1000 miles away. I need places to eat, things to do leading up to the game, and what side of the city to avoid thanks in advance

Hello! I am a recent Saint Mary’s College graduate and I am currently searching for a job in marketing or a related field in business in the SB area. I wanted to come on here in hopes of receiving some advice. Has anyone found a job in marketing in the SB area? If so, where did you look? What is the best way to put yourself out there/network? Is there anything else I should know? All advice/tips are greatly appreciated. If you know anyone who is hiring, that would also be very helpful, but I know that is really just wishful thinking haha! Thank you so much!

Hi Everyone.

I'm looking for a side gig and I have read about pressure washing.

Does anyone know anything about doing that? I have pressure washed driveways before.

I’m early in my career and want to start investing in a house or a rental property. I’ve lived in south bend 5-6 years ago with some friends in the area and talk about how much it has improved.

Would love to chat if you have experience in this!

Basically looking for structured hangouts with cool women. Any leads are appreciated!

I was wondering if anyone knew of any volunteer opportunities for kids ages 5-15 in the area. We are new here so putting out feelers to see if anyone has some specific ideas besides my google searches.

Hey so I just browse the internet for crazy cases and stories involving truck drivers to make some content on YT and this one caught my eye . I came across the news article but it was VAGUE like literally just basic information which is completely weird . Does anyone have any info on the incident. I figured I’d ask this subreddit that associated with the area. Any info will help ? Name of driver description, name of state officer who was involved. I managed to find a person that had the radio chatter back logged . And stuff about the chatter seems off and doesn’t match what was described to the news. Any info help .

Where is the place to go after the game?

For the adults, where is the party?

I'm buying tickets at Niles Scream Park for 7 people this year. Total is over $300 atm, so wondering if anyone knows of any promo codes I could use before I place this order? TIA!!

Any advice on riding the SSL with a toddler in tow?

I'll bring snacks, and some things for them to do.

Any other advice or things I should be aware of?

My kids love the houses that decorate for Halloween. Something as simple as a single skeleton on a porch they go bonkers over. Growing up almost everyone did something..... leaves stuffed into those big orange pumpkin trash bags, a scarecrow, orange luminary bags with tea candles, jack-o-lanterns or pumpkins, corn stalks, white bedsheet ghosts, and so on.

I see so many grownups who say they don't get any trick-or-treaters but then they don't put out a single decoration, don't turn on the porch light, and half their neighbors do the same.

Kids still love the hell out of the holiday. Its the adults who are letting it go to hell. It's sad that there has to be maps on Nextdoor or whatever to list that your going to be giving out candy.... as if it's it is hit or miss these days.

anybody know where to find a cheap or even free wheelchair? My budget is tight but I’m desperately in need
