“The food was absolutely delicious! I’m new to trying Indian cuisine, but the server and owner Sunita was extremely helpful and gave amazing suggestions. Seriously some of the best food I’ve ever had! I really recommend the house platter and the chicken biryani (don’t forget to grab a 22oz beer while you’re there!)“

“OMG, THEIR MOMO'S ARE BETTER THAN MOMO GHAR's ...!!! Yea, I said it. That's speaking sacrilege in this town. But I liked Khaja Ghar's momo's better. Really. Seriously. Honestly. Better... I love the foodie town Columbus has become. When I moved here in the 1980's to go to Ohio State, there were only 3 great restaurants (Refectory, Bexley's Monk, and Ziggy's Continental), and the "ethnic cuisine" options were Mexican at El Vacquero or Chinese at Hunan Lion. That was about it. There weren't many other ethnic foods available. My, how things have changed. Today, Columbus is an amazing and very colorful tapestry of people from different backgrounds, home countries, ethnicities, and their foods. It's pretty amazing. Many of my favorite small, very authentic restaurants are on Morse Road or 161 between I-71 and Cleveland Avenue. The variety and authenticity of the restaurants in this area is incredible. Khaja Ghar is among the best I've found. The jhol momo's are pretty incredible. I think I paid $11.99 for 8 BIG momo's in an incredibly flavorful, delicious red sauce. ("Jhol" momos are drowned in delicious red chutney sauce). I had the Pork Johl Momo's, and I'd beg to get them again and again and again. They're that good. I also had the Thupka soup - flavorful and very satisfying on a grey, cold Ohio January day. As noted in other reviews, it was a little salty, and the spaghetti noodles flip around and cause you to slop a little broth on your shirt, but I love rich, flavorful soup in the winter and this was good enough to order again. The garlic naan was only OK - I'll skip the naan next time. The mango lassi was good - I'd get it again. But the momo's - OMG the momo's - SO GOOD. So delicious. Awe-inspiring. I started to write this review by saying "I have no words to tell you how much I loved their momo's", and then it came to me - I like their momo's better than Momo Ghar's, and I really love Momo Ghar. These are just bigger and better. And a better value. I'm a big guy and a bowl of these (8 big momo's for $11.99) would fill me up completely. Happily. I'm not dissing Momo Ghar - they're awesome. So is Khaja Ghar. I'll probably get hate mail. There will be protestors outside our house. I'll get impeached from Yelp Elites. Banned from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. That's fine. I'll order Doordash from Khaja Ghar and feed everyone and make converts. Khaja Ghar is in a brightly painted building along Morse Road about halfway between Menard's and Cleveland Avenue. Think a small place opened on a budget by immigrants excited to bring their food to you. Kinda dive-y, in the best sort of way. The inside is very clean. The people are nice. I felt completely and totally welcome, even though all other patrons on this Saturday afternoon were Nepali families. The sign out front says "Nepali * Indian * American". I love that. This is a hidden gem. Go. Just go. Get a Mango Lassi and a bowl of Pork Johl Momo's and skip everything else on the menu during your first visit. You'll thank me. Then you'll go back, and you'll thank me again. It's THAT GOOD. I'm already thinking about taking my wife, and some friends, even though I'm still full... :-) (PRO TIP - if you want a REALLY multicultural experience, go grocery shopping at Saraga Market (only 1 mile west on Morse Road), then go to Khaja Ghar...“

“Mehak has become my favorite Indian restaurant. Ordered 4 entrees and 2 appetizers to share and they were all top notch. In the notes section I requested limited packaging (plastic, etc.) and was thrilled my order was placed in a cardboard box without utensils or double wrapped containers. So appreciated the care and attention given to the out of the ordinary request.“

“Great service, friendly staff, nice ambience, great food.“

“I am so thrilled to finally have an Indian restaurant nearby!! I have been twice so far for takeout and have loved it both times. The Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower appetizer) was to die for. I have also loved the dal makhani and matter paneer. And don’t skip the naan!!“

“My husband and I came here on a whim after seeing good reviews online. I was not prepared for how good it was! We tried the samosa of the month which was mac and cheese. I expected it to be like a mac and cheese bite or something but the mac and cheese filling was amazing! The exterior was crispy, flaky and delicious. Hands down the best samosa I've ever had! My husband got a chicken kebab wrap which came with fries and he loved it. I got the NY Gyro plate with lamb (photo) and couldn't have been happier. I'm always wary of getting lamb for fear of it being tough but it was tender and full of flavor. The bed of saffron rice was perfectly cooked and I'm usually an onion hater but the small amount of onions in it were soft and almost as flavorful as the lamb.They're moving down the block apparently but we will definitely be back! The owners were very nice and I will be recommending this place to everyone. Everything was very reasonably priced and if I loved closer, I know I'd be getting takeout regularly. A total hidden gem!“

“This has been our takeout staple for us for 5 years. In that time, we have never had an inaccurate order. The staff consistently packs things very well and have not had any spills, even with larger orders. The food is excellent and is what exposed me to Nepali food. I would recommend the chicken Momo's.They can get busy with takeout orders, and appear to be understaffed for some busier events, such as restaurant week. However, for takeout they are generally accurate in terms of pickup time and usually do not have to wait long at all. They are responsive on the phone, so I'd definitely recommend calling to place your order and pickup yourself - it saves you and the restaurant a lot of money.I definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys this cuisine!“

“The food was so good I went twice, two days in a row. Loved the owners. They are super sweet. And the food was so so fresh and good. We loved Indian food and are always looking for really good, authentic places. I would 100% recommend this restaurant. Didn't think to take photos but it was just fabulous.“

“Simply the best vegetarian food with top quality service“

“This is a wonderful restaurant with very friendly staff! Great choice for Indian/Nepali meals. <3“

“Excellent Lunch buffet, and food quality on menu also excellent“

“I was looking for an Indian buffet in the Columbus area and Amul was recommended to me. The interior had a lot of seating and the buffet selection is in the back corner. There was a separate station off to the side where they have samosas, puri, etc. Such a unique buffet offering that I really enjoyed. Great selection! Veggie pakoras, saag paneer, chicken makhani, etc. The highlights for me were the goat curry, tandoori chicken, and the pani puri. The service was great. Every time there was an empty plate in the room or a low glass of water, someone came around to take care of it. Buffet lunch on a Saturday was $18.99. A bit pricier than what I'm used to, but worth it!“

“Great food, excellent service“

“Went here with my brother to catch up over dinner and honestly had the best service! The server was very kind and accommodating, we also spoke to the chef who was very friendly! The food was amazing we are definitely coming back, 5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“good Indian food, I recommend it yum“

“Amazing Food and Amazing owners. I ordered Nihari and Seekh Kabab and was 45 mins late but the owner kept the shop running and understood that it was out of my control. He was really nice about it too. The food was fresh and extremely tasty. I Dont live in Columbus but will definitely find reasons to go back because I wanna order more things and try them out as well!“

“Thali is back!!! And, like it was years ago, it’s AMAZING!!!“

“Small place that reminded me of when I’ve been in East Asia. First time I’ve had Indian food where the chicken was not all dried out. Everything was really good and the staff is friendly. And I like a buffet where I can pick what I want. A hole in the wall place I’d recommend to folks who like trying international food.“
