I love this place, I honestly eat from here at least once a week but more likely twice a week. I am a huge fan of Indian Cuisine and Nawab is my personal favorite in Roanoke. My recommendation for dishes is Kozhambu, Ananas-Kaju-Malai, Vindaloo, and of course everybody loves Tikka Masala. They have a range for spice for everybody from no spice at all to what the He*l are you trying to do to me here. They serve in LARGE bowls almost family style honestly. If you order for 2 people you can most certainly share the 2 dishes and eat more. The garlic naan is very fluffy and has plenty of flavor. I’m not opposed to more garlic maybe an option for more or less garlic would be nice to have. With naan being made in a Tandoor it will vary every time and be slightly different but still good. I have to mention the staff, the staff is amazing they are always waiting to assist and make your experience the best. I don’t recall my glass ever being empty. They are very friendly and polite, will help with the menu if you have questions. And explain the dishes and what is in them. Even the boss comes to tables and checks up to make sure his product and team is the best.

We stopped in for a quick bite but found amazing. The service was great very friendly attentive and informative about each dish. Later we learned that the manager was our server. A pleasant surprise. My dish was asked spicy 5 out of 5 and it was spicy. Amazingly so it had heat but SO SO much flavor. The heat didn’t destroy the mix of flavors and deliciousness. My wifes dish was perfectly seasoned and the meat flavorful and tender. The vegetables were also well seasoned and cooked yet had a light crunch to them. The garlic Nan was a perfect blend to our dishes. Desert was also a delight took the heat from my prior dish away and the sliced almonds in the dish gave it a great light crunch. This quick bite has turned into one of our favorite places to be. Thank you Nawab we WILL be back.

Was in the area and after reading such amazing reviews i had to visit it. But unfortunately the place did not turn out to be as expected. There was a very weird smell all over in the restaurant. We ordered for paneer biryani which was very okay

Ate here for a stop in Roanoke. Despite arriving near the closing time, the place accepted us and served us the genuinely best indian food of our lives. Portion sizes are huge and coming from NYC the place is a steal. Was very happy coming here.

I had a wonderful experience visiting here with my husband a couple weeks ago. We’ve been craving good Indian food ever since moving to the area and a friend recommended this restaurant. We were greeted with friendly service and loved the intimate ambiance inside. Everything we ordered was delicious and met our cravings! We received attentive and professional service our entire time there. I had wanted a side of French fries with my order which they happily accommodated for me. We did park in the parking lot across from the restaurant and had to pay I believe $7 on a Sunday, just a heads up. Everything was clean and COVID practice was in place. I can’t wait to come back here and try more of the delicious food!

We went here on a roadtrip without knowing what to expect. One of the best Indian restaurants I’ve ever been to. Food was incredible and the staff was amazing. I can recommend it to everyone!

The food was good. I loved the Garlic Naan and Masala saucenwith the rice. Very, very good. I had the Pubjabi Chicken Tikka and it was good. The chicken/plate didn’t come out as hot as everything else did, unfortunately, which is really my only complaint about the food.

My absolute FAVORITE restaurant in all of Roanoke. The food is incredible and the portions are big. My go-to was the Punjabi chicken tikka. The cocktails are unlike anything I’ve ever tasted before. My personal favorite was the Stylish Chamia. Don’t even get me started on the delicious, fluffy garlic naan The manager was very friendly and would always stop by our table to check in. No other Indian restaurant will ever compare to Nawab for me. Do yourself and your tastebuds a favor and try this place out.

Great food, nice place and great host. Our host Neil was really welcoming and always very warm towards his guests throughout the night. Their garlic naan was really good, so was their chicken tikka masala and the daal makhni.

I usually really like this place but I have no been in a while and I wanted to eat here before I left for college. This experience was not a good one. Me and my family got seated immediately but waited around 10 min for anyone to come to our table. We then proceeded to order our food and waited for an hour for it to arrive. When the food did arrive it was very good, as always the service was just lacking.
