The guy over the phone said we do not disclose our buffet menu over the phone (red flag). Still, I insisted my husband try this place out! Ended up with another dirty/stingy buffet! Not clean! I had to ask for my cutlery as no one cares if there’s cutlery out in the buffet area (then he refills). Old salads! They do not refill food. My husband got one piece of meat after fishing it from goat saag curry. Chicken curry meat was dry. Other vegetarian options were so bad and sweet! Chai from the menu was good but they forgot to provide/add sugar. I was exhausted to ask for “sugar” at this point as they guys need to be chased!

They can do so much better but they don’t care about the food or service. They did follow the instructions, packed well but the taste and preparation was below average. The paneer 65 was something totally else. The highlight of the entire order were the breads.

Quick stop for their buffet on a Sunday afternoon. Chooses we’re ok but I would have liked more spice and more heat or at least that option. Naan was flavorful and plenty and non veg was more salad and chutney.

Delicious food, and great atmosphere. We were seated quickly and our server was very helpful. The assorted veg bites were very good as an appetizer, and the bread basket was so good! We also loved the Vegetable Tikka Masala and Mango Chicken. They came with rice, and there is plenty for leftovers. I highly recommend!

Such a great experience. This place is easy to miss and is surprisingly hasn’t been crowded either time we’ve been. The food is flavorful and cooked well. Bring your appetite because the portions are well worth the price. The naan bread was fresh and hot and the spice level can go as high as you like it. I am a chili head, while my wife and daughter can’t handle the heat and we all have no problem finding a dish that hits the spot. The staff is extremely friendly and while you can wait a little bit, it’s well worth it. Take the time to slow down and enjoy the experience.

I’ve been eating here for years and it’s always delicious. The food is high quality and the service is excellent. They are very accommodating for people with food allergies, and I’ve never had a problem with any of their food. A must-try for those visiting Wilmington!

We tried Nawab for lunch and enjoyed the atmosphere and service! However, having eaten Indian food so often, the food itself is just Okay! We enjoyed it but it’s not what I would consider the most authentic Indian cuisine. The flavors, spices are very basic and not rich and aromatic as well made Indian food should be. Their tandoori chicken is anything but tandoori chicken. It was just a normal piece of chicken and not cooked in a tandoor clay oven, at least it certainly didn’t look it or taste like it did. I would still eat there again but not on a very regular basis and only bc the choice of truly authentic Indian Cuisine is not so available in Wilmington!

We wanted Indian food while we were on vacation in Wilmington and this was close to us and had decent reviews on Google. We decided to give it a try and we were glad we did. We went on a Thursday evening in early April. There were a few other groups in the restaurant but it didn’t look too busy. The hostess at the front was very nice and even though we were a little early she offered to bring the food out to us in our van. We are still uncomfortable eating indoor at restaurants especially with our 3 younger kids. She had a mask on at all times. The inside of the restaurant looked really nice and it was sad we didn’t get a chance to eat inside. The food was packaged very nicely in a larger box for us. The location in general isn’t the nicest but let that fool you.

Fine Indian cuisine! My daughter and I ate here for her birthday and we loved it. We ordered mango Lassi, chicken soup, hummus with Naan bread, lamb Tikka massala, and goat vindaloo. Spice level was right on for me.
