The menu got many favorite items and inside ambiance is live, to our expectations. It was a big disappointment on food taste, knowing Amma kitchen will have some south Indian flavor and quality to ordered food items (medu vada,veggie cutlet,masala dosa,onion masala dosa). Sambar and masala dosa got no taste and completely off and chutney seemed no blend to it. Medu vada seemed fresh but veggie cutlet nothing but simple potato paste binding with crunchy stuff. Onion masala dosa seemed fancy but it's masala, the plain potato paste with fresh onions. Never had this kind of so plain stuff and price is reasonable for these items, not for the taste buds. If looking for authentic south Indian food, it’s not the place to choose from. Other menu items and buffet particulars might be good but will not try any more in this place.

I was so excited for a South Indian buffet! I don’t think I even tried any of the main course items (naan or rice or biryani or curries). They had idli, vada, pongal, dosa, 2 different chutneys, sambar, rasam, curd rice, and dahi vada as well. These are just what I remember on top of my head. I loved the food and will be looking forward to come back again.

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! 🥰🥰

the buffet when I was there all but 2 items were vegan so I had a tasty feast. I liked everything I tried and the dosas were crispy and perfect size with all the other food options available.

Absolutely disgraceful. I ordered medu vada, a pure vegetarian dish, and it reeked of fish. The staff’s excuse? “Steam exchange” because they were cooking fish next to it. That is not an explanation — it’s proof of total negligence.
For vegetarians, this is revolting and offensive. Management, shut down your kitchen until you learn how to keep vegetarian food truly vegetarian. Serving this and calling it veg is nothing short of fraud. I will never return.

South Indian vegetarian restaurant Went for a lunch. Only buffet was available no ala-carte. You can get one dosa of your choice along with the buffet option. Pongal, Idly, Sambar, chutnies were good. The desserts were not upto the mark. This place has a seating capacity of up to 96. Good South Indian restaurant in Cincinnati area.

The food is Finger licking good. Great African & Caribbean flavors! You can taste the love it was made with in every spoonful. The ambiance is also beautiful and the staff were friendly and respectful. I definitely recommend this establishment and will be back with my family!
Very delicious buffet with a wide variety and fresh dosas. Very friendly, would recommend 100%.

My husband and I drove a long way to visit this restaurant for their South Indian lunch buffet, but unfortunately, it fell short of expectations. While the variety was decent but the taste was off, and what was more concerning was that most of the items were served cold. Despite bringing this to the staff's attention, no corrective action was taken, which was disappointing.
The service was also lacking, and to top it off, the restroom was not in a great shape. Given the price point of $15.99 plus tax, I expected a much better experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this place and won't be visiting again.

Had dinner at Amma’s Kitchen in Cincinnati and loved it! The fresh dosa was crisp and tasty, and the gobi Manchurian was absolutely delicious. Great spot with plenty of vegetarian options. Highly recommend!

I visited Cincy for the Open and had sambar vada and rava dosa, and took dahi vada to go. The food was pretty bad. Sambar was bland and watery and garnished with fresh onion and cilantro, something no self-respecting SI veggie cook would do. The rava dosa also had onion, even though I didn't request that. The taste was so-so. I'm dreading eating the dahi vada. I daresay that Amma's Kitchen is possibly the worst South Indian vegetarian restaurant in the US.
Mysore dosa was not upto the
