Loved my food! We ordered take out and it came out quickly! Tons of vegetarian options, I ordered the Chana Masala with the veggie naan!

This is a nice place. The food is good and within a reasonable cost compared to some other Indian restaurants. Some of the dishes taste the same with little variations. Still yummy.

Great food. We drive 35 minutes just to eat there. Highly recommended!

We ordered biryani and veg korma from here. We were very upset as it was literally tasteless and bland. We indicted spice level 4/6, yet there was no taste to the food at all. There are so many better places nearby. I do not recommend this place. Wish I could give negative stars. Waste of money, time and taste.

One of my favorite places to eat at when I go to Cincy. Saag paneer is on point every time. Usually the tikka masala is on point but today was a bit watery. But still give it a 4.5/5!

Great spot for affordable takeout. We just had the Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Naan and the appetizer of chicken Tikka. All were delicious. The chicken Tikka ranks up there with the best I’ve ever had, including from the markets in Malaysia and singapore.

Special for those who love Indian food. This tiny carry out restaurant is your place! Food is so delicious, just like real Indian recipes. But what impressed me the most, they cook your order right in front of you. So your Indian curry is always freshly cooked.

A few years ago I was forced by one of my previous bosses to try this tucked away little restaurant on a business trip (since i had never had indian food before). Flash forward a few years later and I still to this day try to visit this restaurant as much as possible. Very decent prices especially if you make their lunch special (1-3pm), VERY generous portions, Short wait time for the amount of food prepared, and best of all is GREAT authentic indian food. This place by far has my vote for best Indian in Cincinnati and if you’ve never tried Indian food before, their Chicken Tikka Masala w Naan is what i strongly recommend

My favorite place to eat on campus. Great vegetarian food at a great price. I can call 10-15 minutes ahead and pick up very easily.

I didn’t know how much I liked Indian food until I had it here. Every dish is full of delicious flavors and both the rice and naan are perfectly cooked. The chicken and lamb are consistently tender. It’s an absolute hole in the wall and it’s easy to miss, but well worth seeking it out.
