14 Best Indian Restaurants near Crescent Springs

“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.“

“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.“

“I finally ate at Mayas Indian Restaurant and it was great! The Chicken Jalfrezi was very flavorful. I ate inside with my family and the customer service was outstanding. I'll definitely be going back!“

“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“

“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.“

“Good food, great service!“

“I don’t eat much Indian food, so when trying this place to takeout for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised to be guided by a friendly staff member to choose the best options to try out. I ended up choosing the Karhai Ginger Chicken and some Garlic Nan for my order and it was simply delicious. I haven’t seen another Indian restaurant taste this good. Highly recommend giving this place a try. My wife and I love the Mango Lassis too. Get those whenever you try this place out.“

“Really great Indian food. Some of the best Nan in the city and their rolls are a cool western take on Indian food but keeping true to the flavors. My only advice would be to replace the chips as a side. It's weird with Indian food. A single piece of Nan or a Samosa maybe but chips is odd. Or drop the side all together and I didnt expect anything more than the roll I ordered and the chips were a negative not a plus so cut them. This is critique of a place I love though so if the worst thing they do is give me a side of potato chips when I order a roll I'm still very happy.“

“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 keep trying different places around Cincinnati but I have failed to find another as good as Ambar. I just tried another restaurant tonight and once again, while it was very good, Ambar is better. Not sure what’s up with some of the very negative reviews, I guess the Indian restaurant biz is very competitive ;)“

“Thank you for the excellent service and food during our visit, with such a warm welcome! We miss our favorite restaurant since our move to FL. See you next time!“

“It was the first of the year. After we journeyed through the aquarium, we craved food of true substance. After a short stroll, we arrived; being treated with a warm environment and welcoming faces.
We then were flabbergasted by the extensive menu. Everything sounded so good and there was an astounding variety. We started with the appetizer platter and it was phenomenal. From the mint chutney to all the fried delights it was amazing. Our entrees were so filling and so well done. Our waitress was so kind and the service was excellent. This place was such an amazing find to end our amazing day. Would recommend this phenomal establishment to everyone!“

“Awesome Customers service“

“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.“
