22 Best Indian Restaurants near Covington

“Taj Mahal is by FAR our favorite Indian food in the entire region - we recommend it all the time. Incredibly delicious and fresh, always consistent, and the dining area has a warm atmosphere! Favorite dishes are the saag paneer and curried chicken + garlic naan. The fact that they’re open late is the cherry on top. We will be long time fans and customers here“

“I had kadai lamb here for the 1st time, recommended by The Boss himself😃! The food literally tastes like its home made! It is a popular place and that should tell you that the food is delicious. Service is the best! I come here and it feels like i'm dining with family. It's my friday p.m. dinner treat. Try it out, you'll keep coming.“

“Just ate for first time at Guru India Restaurant. Food was delicious, price reasonable and service exceptional. Special thanks to our server, Babu, who explained the menu and what dishes were favorites. He was terrific and made my first visit easy by helping with menu and suggestions. I suggest you try this place. We WILL be back!! Lloyd and Kay.“

“Amazing food and staff. I had the chicken thali which had two chicken dishes, rice, 4 slices of naan(ask for the garlic naan) and a cucumber tomato salad. If you don’t know that much about Indian cuisine ask the manager. He suggested the ginger chicken which I will try the next time I go.“

“Great place probably one of the best meals I’ve had so far this year, prices are reasonable and the service was so quick. I went on a Friday night and within 30 mins I ordered, had my food, and paid- you can’t beat speed like that. I had the butter chicken and the sauce was very thick- I ordered not spicy and I think I’ll be able to take my family members here that are sensitive to spice.“

I loved the Lentil soup. Will definitely be returning. Our hunt for a fantastic Indian restaurant has finally ended.“

“This neighborhood place has really good, nutritious food, good portions without feeling like they are skimping on the ingredients, just the right amount of spice and excellent service. Also pretty remarkable is the number of people stopping by to pick up food. Clearly a neighborhood favorite!“

“Amma’s Kitchen was wonderful. I was so homesick for some home made South Indian food and this place made me feel like I was back home. I loved the atmosphere, the selection of food, and the service very much. The taste was awesome and you can easily tell that Amma’s Kitchen really cares about their customers by the way that the food is fresh and tasty. I will definitely be visiting again. Thank you for a great Sunday! 🥰🥰“

“Been coming here for years and stop by everytime I’m in the city. Wait times are not long and is in an accessible location. The best indian food I’ve ever tried and can’t even replicate it at home. The Paneer Makhani is so full of flavor, creamy, and silky. It’s perfectly balanced and not too overpowering. Perfect bit of savory and spiciness with amazing aromatics. Its a must. The rice is very fluffy with amazing flavor. Never knew plain rice could be so tasty. The garlic naan is amazing quality and a great edition for its price. Comes free during lunch. Best indian food in the country.“

“I love Krishna so much! I get them at least once a week! The grumpy guy in the kitchen makes me so happy! I just know he’s putting on an act and is actually so excited to see me! If I had a choice between my family and Krishna I would choose Krishna!!!!“

“This is close to home, so our go to for carryout. The food is excellent, always fresh and never disappoints. As others have said they are not shy with the heat. I'm usually a 3 or 4 out of 5. Here spice level 2 is plenty. There are a few tables if you want to eat in. Family owned and friendly.“

“My favorite Indian restaurant. The food is very delicious and consistent. They do chicken shahi korma my favorite way, with chunks of cheese and golden raisins in the sauce. My fiancé loves the vindaloo and general thickness of the curries here. The naan is also top-notch.“

“Awesome Customers service“

“Had the great chicken biryani. Will order again :-)“

“This is an Indian restaurant in downtown Cincinnati near UC. It kind of focuses on like Indian street food as opposed to some of the fancier ones with the big menus and fancier dishes. There was a lot of good here as the restaurant looked very nice and the staff did a mostly good job (it took a while for them to cook the food but unless it's ridiculously long I don't complain about that and won't here either.) I went with my favourite Indian which is Lamb Vindaloo which is chunks of lamb (or whatever other meat you prefer) with a tomato based sauce with lot's of spices. I got mine a 4 out of spicy instead of my normal 5 because I had never been to this restaurant and didn't know how much they would spice it. I could have definitely gotten the 5 as the 4 wasn't all that spicy. It had some pretty good flavour and the lamb was cooked perfectly and was in pretty good sized pieces. Their naan was quite good as well which is vitally important at an Indian restaurant to soak up all of those sauces. I probably should have tried their street food which is their specialty but there will be a day for that. What I had was good but not great Indian food. When I come back and try the street food dishes I will reevaluate. I'd rate this about 6.5 out of 10.“
