26 Best Indian Restaurants near Newport

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Jot India was excellent! The restaurant was clean. And surprisingly, empty. Manpreet was absolutely fantastic. Very friendly and got our orders perfect. Since we are Indians, he said he'd ask the chef to spice it up to our levels and they absolutely did not disappoint.

We had the chicken dippers, chili chicken and malai kofta with alloo and kashmiri naan. The dippers were surprisingly good, since it was for our picky toddler who likes chicken nuggets and can't handle spice. The chili chicken and malai kofta were excellent. The malai kofta was surprising. I'm used to the kofta not having a batter around it but this one did, and it added a nice texture. Their mango lassi was also excellent. Definitely one of the best Indian food places we've been to in Cincinnati!!“

“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!“

“My husband and I were delighted to find an authentic Indian restaurant in OLD Covington. We ordered the somosas, Lamb Rogan Josh, and rice pudding- all of which was delicious.

The service was also excellent. We were greeting as soon as we entered and served quickly. The whole experience was wonderful and we're looking forward to our next visit.“

“Delicious food and great service. Great for quick lunch and the garlic naan is wonderfully crispy and chewy.“

“My favorite Indian food in the city. Best butter chicken. Everything else is also delicious: samosa, mango lassi, shrimp dishes, everything. Only thing sometimes the requested spice level is a bit of a gamble. Some days a 2 is not enough, other days a 3 is too spicy; that would be my only feedback, to standardize the spice levels a bit more. But overall, delicious food. They're very nice and carry-out is ready on time. Highly recommend.“

“Good food, great service!“

“My families experience here was amazing. It was the first time 2 of our kids had tried Indian food. I explained that we wanted to try different dishes and let the staff guide us. He went over the menu and helped with selections. We ordered Mata Paneer, Lamb Biryani, Chicken Tika, and Chicken Tika Masala. We also got garlic naan, and I got a Masala chai. The food was great. We did order mild on all of it because we didn't want to scare off the kids. Even with mild the dishes were well spiced but not a hot spicy. Layers of flavor came out as you ate. My personal favorite was the Lamb Biryani, very tender chunks of lamb with great flavor. Each kid gravitated to something else. Our pickest eater said it got 40 stars. It was a mixture of the flavor and quality of the food along with the atmosphere of the restaurant that gave us a great experience. Thank you Masala Theory. Now while on vacation they might not ask to eat chicken tenders and fries.“

“It was a great experience, love the food and customers service. 10/10 recommended restaurants.“

“The food is phenomenal! I definitely recommend Grace of India!“

“Delicious chicken makhani, lamb biryani and paneer naan. We will be back again soon!“

“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.“

“It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to have Indian food and man am I glad I chose this place. The food was absolutely perfect. Both fresh and delicious. The restaurant itself is very clean, and the service was warm and always with a smile.“

“I love this place! My favorite Indian restaurant ever. The workers are so sweet and friendly! Everything I get is soooo tasty! We go for date night and get carry out! Definitely recommend!! I went for my birthday and they were so sweet in giving me a gift certificate!“

“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! 🥰🥰“

“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 ;)“

“The food is here comes really close to authentic back-to-home food. We got chaat and it is one of the best chaat i have had in 4 years here in Cincinnati area. Chai here is exceptional! Really good! Dosa was delicious too, Must Try!!! Absolutely worth it!“

“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!“

“Baba has great food in a convenient location in Oakley. One of the best lunch buffets in Cincinnati. I always leave with leftovers for lunch the next day.“

“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.“
