Modita

Stylish Asian Fusion Just Steps from Downtown Indy Concerts

Located inside the Bottleworks Hotel on buzzing Massachusetts Avenue, Modita brings a modern, elevated take on pan-Asian cuisine to the heart of Indianapolis. With an interior that’s both sleek and warm—think moody lighting, rich textures, and dramatic decor—this is a spot that feels special without being stuffy. The menu takes inspiration from across Asia, offering everything from Thai curries to sushi rolls to dim sum, all artfully plated and perfect for sharing. Whether you’re celebrating a big night out or just grabbing a bite before the show, Modita delivers an experience as memorable as the concert itself.

Why Concert-goers love it

Location, location, location—Modita is just a short walk or ride from several of Indy’s top music venues, making it a super convenient pre-show stop. The restaurant is known for its efficient service and has a menu designed for sharing, meaning you can enjoy a range of flavors without spending the whole evening at the table. The vibe is lively but not overpowering, with enough energy to get you in the mood for a show, while still allowing for good conversation. Bonus: they offer an excellent cocktail and sake list to kick off your evening in style.

Who this Restaurant is great for

• Groups of friends looking to share plates and try something new
• Solo travelers who want a seat at the sushi bar or a stylish corner table
• Couples turning a concert into a full date night
• Fans seeking a lively, upscale pre-show scene

What People Say

Reviews consistently praise Modita’s flavorful and creative dishes, especially the crispy duck, spicy noodles, and sushi selections. Diners love the chic atmosphere and often mention it’s a great place to start a night out. Service is described as attentive and professional, and many appreciate the pace of the meal—quick enough to make a show, but never rushed.

Areas for Improvement

While most guests leave happy, some note that the menu prices can run a bit high—especially for drinks and appetizers. A few reviewers mention that noise levels can rise during peak times, so if you're looking for a quiet dinner, aim for an earlier reservation. Parking in the area can be tricky on busy nights, but rideshares or the Bottleworks garage make it manageable.
