26 Best Indian Restaurants near Gahanna

“This is a nice spot with generous food portions and authentic flavors.
One tip — Order your spice level one notch below what you think you can handle. If you consider yourself a serious spice lover (like I did), go with Mild instead of Hot.“

“Truly the best Indian food I have ever had. The chai alone is incredible and well worth the trip. Naan is fresh and well made. Huge variety of food and the staff is very friendly. Will be back many times!“

“spinach paneer mango chutney watermelon feta cheese salad and naan is so delicious I can't wait to try other things I will be back thank you so much highly recommend them“

“My friends and I (party of five) dined last night as a part of Restaurant Week. None of us had ever visited before. The decor was nice and the atmosphere was comforting. I could smell the food as soon as we were seated. Our wait person was very nice and attentive. We all liked Indian food and I was very pleasantly surprised. The food was delicious, and plentiful. I bought home leftovers, enough for another entire meal. Will return to try the lunch Buffett. 10 out of 10, highly recommend.“

“There is a lot of average Indian food out there but Rooh is on another level. It is one that we have only experience at restaurants like Deshoom in London. The hostess was so wonderful her personality is the best way to walk into a restaurant. The wait staff was perfection and unlike so many restaurants nowadays the pacing of the 3 course meal for restaurant week was perfection. Each course more tasty and beautifully prepared than the next. We don’t come to Columbus often but I would consider coming back just to eat here, and we will for sure be back next time we are in town. I just wish we would have Indian food this good anywhere near where we live. This place is a gem.“

“Came to this little gem for the weekend buffet on a whim, as its’s right by the movie theater that we had an early afternoon matinee showing. The food was very fresh and flavorful! A good variety of dishes and large selection of desserts that were also very tasty! All at a great price! Highly recommend!“

“Was looking for quick, local indian cuisine and this place did not disappoint. Delicious and reasonably priced. Will definitely be returning. If you're looking for some great local indian food, this is certainly a place to visit!“

“Best food I’ve ever eaten. Period.“

“Khaab Indian Kitchen and Bar is truly a hidden gem in Bexley! Their lunch buffet is hands down the best around: fresh, flavorful, and packed with variety. What makes it even better is that they offer the buffet to-go, which I’ve already taken advantage of when I didn’t have time to sit down.

I first dined in at their buffet this past Sunday and was so impressed that I went back the next two days for takeout! Each time, the food somehow tasted even better than before! The atmosphere is calm, clean, and relaxing, and the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel like family. Everyone from the host to the manager is so kind, welcoming, and genuinely pleasant.

As for the food, it’s seasoned to perfection! So far, I’ve enjoyed a wide variety: chicken biryani, chicken curry, chicken 65, orange chicken, aloo cabbage, aloo choley, tandoori chicken, garlic naan, saag paneer, bhatura, chili chicken, tikka masala, lamb rogan josh, fish amritsari and Hariyali (which I tried for the first time and am now a lifelong fan). Hopefully they put it on the menu, as I found out today it was just a random surprise for the buffet today. Each dish is bursting with authentic flavor and cooked with care.

I honestly cannot say enough kind words about this place. Between the warm hospitality, relaxing atmosphere, and consistently incredible food, Khaab Indian Kitchen and Bar has quickly become one of my favorite spots. I just hope they don’t get tired of seeing me, because I’ll be back again and again!“

“The food was delicious. I had chicken masala, and the sauce was a treat, I chose the 3 star heat, and it was just right. My ol lady had the veg momo, and she loved it. Staff was very friendly.“

“We tried it here for the first time. Good service, great atmosphere and good live music. The sweet lassi was excellent and my wife’s mai tai was festive! The food was cooked fresh, great tasting and well presented. Very good good and service!!“

“I love this restaurant! I ordered takeout tonight and it was my first time trying Nepalese food. The food was phenomenal. It was packed full of flavor and cooked to perfection. I tried the pani puri, vegetable momo, and malai kofta. I live an hour away and the food was still hot by the time I got it home. The service was wonderful and the location is beautiful. I will absolutely be a returning customer and plan on getting dinner here weekly! Highly recommend this restaurant to everyone.“

“Very friendly customer service, and very good food 😋 ! There is a daily lunch buffet from 11am - 2pm . This gives the opportunity to become familiar with , and taste different foods...that you may not be familiar with , and widen your taste .“

“First time trying New Taj Mahal for lunch and I was quite impressed. From the various choices of dishes and flavors it definitely hit the spot. I would certainly be coming back!“

“For some reason people don't seem to know about this place. They have an excellent lunch buffet. It always has a great selection - saag paneer, chicken tika masala, tandoori chicken, and many vegetarian options too. You get fresh made naan, and they have some I'd the best raita that I've had.“

“Found this place approx 1 month ago and I’ve been back several times! Everything I’ve gotten so far tasted absolutely amazing and I love that they can adjust the heat level. Amazing staff super friendly! Definitely worth the 40 min drive!“

“We're first-time diners at Jjapali and we were very impressed with the restaurant. The quality of the food is great and the selection is quite extensive. Our server was very helpful as we looked through the many choices of food and drink. We plan to tell our friends about this place and we'll definitely be return diners.“

“A mesmerizing dinner with bold flavors at Agni made an evening in Columbus. OH as memorable as can be. From the dimly lit tribal rustic space, the dining space matches well with the colorful spices used in their dishes. Agni does not shy away from their use of strong piercing curry flavors in their international features, representing Thailand, China, Vietnam, Turkey and Mexico. My favorite items off their tasting menu were their caesar chaat-froid salad and creme brulee. I would easily eat the salad every day! The pistachios flavored creme brulee filled with pistachios, cardamon and kataifi as homage to the taste of Turkiye. Bravo for a brilliant team in Columbus. My only suggestion is the flavors can be too bold and salty, that an extra dinner roll or side of rice would be wonderful to help accompany the curries and sauces. that Can't wait to try what they'd come up with all the buzz behind their kitchen doors.“

“Excellent Lunch buffet, and food quality on menu also excellent“

“Great service. Diwash is a very attentive server, always checking in with us to see if we needed anything. The food is really good, and it gets out to you in pretty good time“

“I ordered Goat Biryani. It’s very flavorful. Great taste but Mutton pieces has to be cooked well. Most Indian restaurants don’t usually get the taste of yogurt (raita) and mirchi ka salan right—it’s often disappointing. But here, it’s surprisingly delicious! 😋“

“A lot of places don't pay attention to special requests, but this one does. I got the Saffron Special Pack with goat tikka masala and vegetable samosas, it also came with naan, basmati rice, and a drink--amazing value and a lot of food for the price $. I asked for extra spicy and they made sure it was extra spicy! Delicious wholesome food with plenty of meat, whole spices and fresh vegetables. When you pick up, you need to ring BOTH doorbells: the small one that says Saffron, and the big one that allows them to see who's at the door. This was new to me but they called me and explained over the phone and he was very nice about it. Impressive quality and prices, I will be back here again!“

“They are willing to accommodate the spice level of the dish if you want it spicier and experience more flavors. Most Asian restaurants I been to serve “American spicy” level dishes which in term for me taste as bland as mash potatoes and black pepper gravy. If yall want to expand your tastebuds take my advice.“

“It’s all about excellent and tasty food ever“

“I recently had the pleasure of enjoying a meal at Cinnamon Indian Grill, and their biryani truly impressed me. From the first bite, it was clear that this was something special. The rice was aromatic and fluffy, the spices were perfectly blended, and the meat was tender and cooked to perfection.

The biryani had that authentic, home-style flavor that’s hard to find, and it wasn’t overly greasy or heavy. The portion was generous, and the accompanying raita added a refreshing balance to the dish.

The restaurant itself had a warm and welcoming vibe, and the staff were friendly and attentive throughout the meal. You can tell they put care into both the food and the service.

If you’re craving real, flavorful biryani in a relaxed setting, Cinnamon Indian Grill is a must-visit. I’ll definitely be returning!“
