“This was the best meal out we've had in a while.We were very impressed with the variety offered and the quality, especially for a food truck.The food did take some time to prepare (about 20 minutes), this was no issue as it was communicated up front, and their hospitality was amazing.The Szechuan chicken rice and curry leaf wings were fresh and packed full of flavor. We loved the spice of the rice, but we're not aware there are different levels.We will definitely be back to try other menu items, and spice levels.“
“Hi CakewalkI had ordered a cake for my best friend (Indian) for her surprise anniversary party which had a lot of Indian so I decided to have a Indian touch… The guys in the frontdesk were of a great help, had ordered strawberry and mango flavor !!! Heard the mango is no.1 in ColumbusReally appreciate the effort made on cake !!Highly recommended for Cakes“
“Food is good.Their watsapp price and nonveg thali picture is misleading.Nonveg thali is $15.99 .It consists of rasam, sambhar,daal,yoghurt,one gulabjamun,one chicken curry, one chicken fried item,one mix veg fry,papad,1 roti,rice and tomato rice(No chicken biryani or mutton curry).Their chicken biryani($15.99) and 555(14.99)are really good.“
“My parents told me this place was new so we gave it a try. We ordered chicken tikka and chicken vidaloo and got the sampler appetizer. My husband got his vindaloo mildly spicy and said it was just enough to make him sweat. My Tikka (not masala) tasted like a warm hug. It was perfect. Can't wait to go back!!“
“We have a tradition of going out for Indian food for Easter dinner but it got cut off during COVID. This year was such a wonderful return to a lovely tradition. The vegetarians and omnivores in our family are both happy—we got tandoori fish, saag paneer, Navratan Korma, chicken saag, and tandoori shrimp with a naan basket and the vegetarian appetizer platter. Every bite was better than the last.TLDR: Excellent food, eat here now.Vegetarian options: I love going to places where they don’t think it’s unusual to forego meat. 10/10 recommend!“

“I recently discovered Layla's Kitchen and highly recommend it. Their food is very good, especially the butter chicken. They also have Nepalese mom's, and their menu is broad and eclectic with many selections. Lastly, their weekend buffet is also very good.“
“Clove offers a delightful culinary experience with its impeccable service and delicious dishes. From the inviting ambiance to the attentive staff, every aspect of the dining experience is top-notch. Whether you're a fan of traditional favorites or crave innovative flavors, this restaurant is sure to satisfy your palate. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a memorable dining experience.“
“OMG, THEIR MOMO'S ARE BETTER THAN MOMO GHAR's ...!!! Yea, I said it. That's speaking sacrilege in this town. But I liked Khaja Ghar's momo's better. Really. Seriously. Honestly. Better... I love the foodie town Columbus has become. When I moved here in the 1980's to go to Ohio State, there were only 3 great restaurants (Refectory, Bexley's Monk, and Ziggy's Continental), and the "ethnic cuisine" options were Mexican at El Vacquero or Chinese at Hunan Lion. That was about it. There weren't many other ethnic foods available. My, how things have changed. Today, Columbus is an amazing and very colorful tapestry of people from different backgrounds, home countries, ethnicities, and their foods. It's pretty amazing. Many of my favorite small, very authentic restaurants are on Morse Road or 161 between I-71 and Cleveland Avenue. The variety and authenticity of the restaurants in this area is incredible. Khaja Ghar is among the best I've found. The jhol momo's are pretty incredible. I think I paid $11.99 for 8 BIG momo's in an incredibly flavorful, delicious red sauce. ("Jhol" momos are drowned in delicious red chutney sauce). I had the Pork Johl Momo's, and I'd beg to get them again and again and again. They're that good. I also had the Thupka soup - flavorful and very satisfying on a grey, cold Ohio January day. As noted in other reviews, it was a little salty, and the spaghetti noodles flip around and cause you to slop a little broth on your shirt, but I love rich, flavorful soup in the winter and this was good enough to order again. The garlic naan was only OK - I'll skip the naan next time. The mango lassi was good - I'd get it again. But the momo's - OMG the momo's - SO GOOD. So delicious. Awe-inspiring. I started to write this review by saying "I have no words to tell you how much I loved their momo's", and then it came to me - I like their momo's better than Momo Ghar's, and I really love Momo Ghar. These are just bigger and better. And a better value. I'm a big guy and a bowl of these (8 big momo's for $11.99) would fill me up completely. Happily. I'm not dissing Momo Ghar - they're awesome. So is Khaja Ghar. I'll probably get hate mail. There will be protestors outside our house. I'll get impeached from Yelp Elites. Banned from Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. That's fine. I'll order Doordash from Khaja Ghar and feed everyone and make converts. Khaja Ghar is in a brightly painted building along Morse Road about halfway between Menard's and Cleveland Avenue. Think a small place opened on a budget by immigrants excited to bring their food to you. Kinda dive-y, in the best sort of way. The inside is very clean. The people are nice. I felt completely and totally welcome, even though all other patrons on this Saturday afternoon were Nepali families. The sign out front says "Nepali * Indian * American". I love that. This is a hidden gem. Go. Just go. Get a Mango Lassi and a bowl of Pork Johl Momo's and skip everything else on the menu during your first visit. You'll thank me. Then you'll go back, and you'll thank me again. It's THAT GOOD. I'm already thinking about taking my wife, and some friends, even though I'm still full... :-) (PRO TIP - if you want a REALLY multicultural experience, go grocery shopping at Saraga Market (only 1 mile west on Morse Road), then go to Khaja Ghar...“
“Mehak has become my favorite Indian restaurant. Ordered 4 entrees and 2 appetizers to share and they were all top notch. In the notes section I requested limited packaging (plastic, etc.) and was thrilled my order was placed in a cardboard box without utensils or double wrapped containers. So appreciated the care and attention given to the out of the ordinary request.“
“I am so thrilled to finally have an Indian restaurant nearby!! I have been twice so far for takeout and have loved it both times. The Gobi Manchurian (cauliflower appetizer) was to die for. I have also loved the dal makhani and matter paneer. And don’t skip the naan!!“
“If you don't like crowds, noon is the best time to go! The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the staff were friendly without constantly hanging around you. It's a small restaurant so I imagine could get crowded later in the evening. At noon it was quiet and very enjoyable! We will definitely be going back soon!“
“We were there for my birthday. The food was good but a little pricey. The service was fast. Their menu is too long, a little confusing. I ended up ordering another soup instead of a complimentary one by mistake. There was a little communication issue with the server, too. They have a buffet on Friday and the weekends that I'd like to try.“
“NEEHEE'S is such a great place to eat! The first thing I noticed when stepping in the front doors was how immaculatly clean and airy the restaurant is. The front of the restaurant is all glass and the sun shone through without a blinding glare.As you walk up to the counter to order, there are both pictures of the different dishes with the names of them. There are also computerized full menus with pictures and names. At first I didn't know how to use the computerized menu, but in a very short time a very pleasant gentleman on staff came up and showed me how to use it. It was not hard at all after he showed me and the screen is senior citizen friendly (I didn't need to get my glasses)!The gentleman also answered my questions about different dishes.The staff members at the counter were so polite and helpful. I knew already that I love Indian food from Southern India but NEEHEE'S has dishes from all over the country!The staff members were even nice enough to teach us how to pronounce what we were ordering. All we had to do was ask. It did not take long at all to get our food. I like the way the dining room is set up, it's good sized, so you can either set near others or find a quieter more intimate location.The food was excellent! We all ordered something different, but they have extra plates easily available, so we could all taste or share some of what each of us had ordered.You can see the cooks preparing all these different dishes with incredible skill and to perfection!I thought the price was very reasonable and you do not leave NEEHEE'S hungry! They also have an incredible selection of Indian Ice Cream! It's so delicious it is hard to chose which one you want. (They let you sample). Honestly I loved them all!Even though we drive over 100 miles to get to NEEHEE'S we will return in just a week or two.If you have never tried the foods of India, I suggest you do. Not all foods from that country are hot/spicy. The heat of a dish varies many times with the dips, chutneys, etc you choose. Again, all you need to do is ask a staff member and they will help you select a mild/flavorful dip, medium, or what I like: hot/spicy! They have it all!I highly recommend NEEHEE'S and have rarely come across such welcoming, well mannered, helpful, and efficient staff!Margaret Gale (retired head of restaurant department in a well known hotel).“
“My husband and I came here on a whim after seeing good reviews online. I was not prepared for how good it was! We tried the samosa of the month which was mac and cheese. I expected it to be like a mac and cheese bite or something but the mac and cheese filling was amazing! The exterior was crispy, flaky and delicious. Hands down the best samosa I've ever had! My husband got a chicken kebab wrap which came with fries and he loved it. I got the NY Gyro plate with lamb (photo) and couldn't have been happier. I'm always wary of getting lamb for fear of it being tough but it was tender and full of flavor. The bed of saffron rice was perfectly cooked and I'm usually an onion hater but the small amount of onions in it were soft and almost as flavorful as the lamb.They're moving down the block apparently but we will definitely be back! The owners were very nice and I will be recommending this place to everyone. Everything was very reasonably priced and if I loved closer, I know I'd be getting takeout regularly. A total hidden gem!“
“This has been our takeout staple for us for 5 years. In that time, we have never had an inaccurate order. The staff consistently packs things very well and have not had any spills, even with larger orders. The food is excellent and is what exposed me to Nepali food. I would recommend the chicken Momo's.They can get busy with takeout orders, and appear to be understaffed for some busier events, such as restaurant week. However, for takeout they are generally accurate in terms of pickup time and usually do not have to wait long at all. They are responsive on the phone, so I'd definitely recommend calling to place your order and pickup yourself - it saves you and the restaurant a lot of money.I definitely recommend this place to anyone who enjoys this cuisine!“
“When you first walk through the door it smells delicious! I had the Chicken Makhani and can't wait to go back for more. Very good meal. They also have a lunch buffet but they did not offer the Makhani on the buffet, but a great option to try other dishes. I recommend going here for your next lunch or dinner!“
“Absolutely amazing lamb curry and chicken tikka masala, the best I've had in ages. The establishment is pretty quiet with no music and the TV was on pause, which can be a pro or a con depending on who you are. They don't deal in "white people spicy", so if you're not a spice hound then get medium for your curry!Vegetarian options: They label all dishes that are vegetarian friendly, and whether or not it has dairy in it. They have a section on the menu dedicated to veggie curries.Dietary restrictions: Common allergies are labeled clearly.“
“This restaurant offers an average experience for vegetarians, with the regular menu providing satisfactory options. However, the buffet quality and taste falls short of expectations and may not meet the standards.Vegetarian options: The garlic naan, matar paneer, and samosa chat are delicious options at this restaurant.“
“I love this place. The food is always great! I like the lunch buffet but started getting random appetizers and meals. Last time I got the papari chat and lamb vindaloo. Soooo good. I usually get too much food.Parking: Plenty of parking. Never had an issue.“
“Went here with my brother to catch up over dinner and honestly had the best service! The server was very kind and accommodating, we also spoke to the chef who was very friendly! The food was amazing we are definitely coming back, 5 Stars⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“
“Have been there once for dinner and another time on the weekend for brunch buffet. The Dinner outing was really good, they had authentic tasting Pakistani/Indian food. Breakfast buffet, food was good, service very slow, naan and paratha would run out for a long time. Beef was tough in nehari, seemed like they were done separately. Ambiance was like a fast food restaurant. I would go again for the food though.“
“Amazing Food and Amazing owners. I ordered Nihari and Seekh Kabab and was 45 mins late but the owner kept the shop running and understood that it was out of my control. He was really nice about it too. The food was fresh and extremely tasty. I Dont live in Columbus but will definitely find reasons to go back because I wanna order more things and try them out as well!“
“"I had a delightful experience at Bawarchi with their Andhra Mutton Masala and Karappodi Kodi. The rich flavors and tender mutton combined perfectly with authentic Andhra spices, leaving a memorable impression. The staff were friendly, making it a great choice for anyone craving spicy food and authentic Andhra cuisine. I highly recommend trying their Andhra Mutton Masala with bullet naan for a satisfying meal that will leave you wanting more."“
“The inside was very nice and the service was excellent. The waitress was super helpful with helping us decide what to get and when we got the food it did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for good Indian food that is a little less Americanized than most. Delicious garlic naan too!“
“Small place that reminded me of when I’ve been in East Asia. First time I’ve had Indian food where the chicken was not all dried out. Everything was really good and the staff is friendly. And I like a buffet where I can pick what I want. A hole in the wall place I’d recommend to folks who like trying international food.“
“Place is good But sad to see no customerto dineinThey have bulk catering order for todayI ordered chicken samosa and chicken seekh kebabThe flavour resemble to pakistani food !Management needs to increase footfall for this place to make it more welcoming!Reasonable priced .Bottled water availableRaita is green in color like some chutney.“
“I always have an amazing experience at this restaurant. The staff is super friendly and really knows their stuff. Plus, the food just keeps getting better with every visit. Highly recommend! If you’re looking for high quality Indian food, this is the place for you!“
“I am vegan and they were super helpful in accommodating me and giving suggestions of what I should get! Not only was the service great but the food was just as good. Will definitely be going back here! 10/10 I also do not love spicy foods and I told the server and the stuff she told me to get was perfect and not too spicy!Dietary restrictions: Vegan“
