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.

My husband and I are from Southwest Florida and we frequently visit our son in Cincinnati baba India is our go to place for chicken tiki masala. It is authentic and the rice is fabulous. Their garlic Nan is one of my favorites. Of course we always do takeout but each time I pick up the service inside is courteous and attentive. The atmosphere is cozy and smells fabulous.
