I have been here a couple times and I am an Indian food and I want to like their food. I am not picky at all with food and easily satisfied with most things in my mouth. If I didn't have to pay for the food,I wouldn't mind the quality. But because I paid for it,my experience was below par. I want to come back but only if it's free or with a really big coupon, like 90% off

The food is fresh and delicious! The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. It’s also really convenient since it’s close to campus. I recommend trying the Paneer Lababdar and the mixed grill!

I’m from Goa, India, and this is hands down one of the most authentic Indian restaurants I’ve been to in the U.S. The food here is incredible — it seems like they’ve recently hired new chefs, and the difference really shows. Every dish I tried was bursting with unique, bold flavors, and the spices used were perfectly balanced without being overpowering. What really impressed me is that each dish had its own distinct taste.

The ingredients are super fresh, and unlike many places that rely on food coloring or too much batter to make dishes look good, here everything tasted genuinely flavorful and no food coloring etc. It’s clear they focus on authenticity and quality over gimmicks.

I study at Lehigh and have been to other Indian spots like Biryani City, Cumin N Eats, and a few others. But this place easily outshines them all. The staff is also very friendly and welcoming, which makes the experience even better.

I ordered:
Goat Biryani
Paneer Lababdar
Lamb Buna Dry Fry
Butter Chicken
Gobi 65
Nawab Mixed Grill

Honestly, every single dish was exceptional. If I had to pick a favorite, the Paneer Lababdar stood out — it’s one of the best I’ve ever had, even compared to places back home in India. The texture and richness of the gravy were just perfect — which is not easy to get right. But the other dished too are exceptional, so try them. For this quality of food, the prices too are very reasonable. The food is completely worth it for the price.

I’m genuinely happy there’s finally a place near Lehigh that serves such high-quality Indian food. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for an authentic experience!

For some reason, both Chicken Saag and Baigan Bharta were removed from the Grubhub menu, while they remain on the restaurant menu. Disappointing.

I’m really disappointed. I love Nawab. I’m not sure if there is a new cook, but my food tonight was just not good nor did it look how it normally looks. I ordered Kaddai Paneer which is usually a light orangeish color. Tonight I got something that looked like Italian arrabbiata sauce with red peppers. My fiancés meal was wrong as well. New cook? Idk but it just wasn’t the same quality.

Have yet to have a bad meal here. We always get 2 dishes we know we will love but then always try 2 new things. The naan bread is fresh and wonderful. I always get chicken tiki masala and it's amazing. Waiter is always so nice and explains anything to us. Want to try the buffet but we always get there too late!

I am new to city and my colleagues had hhyped me about this place. Ambience was great. But food was pathetic. Starters were okay. Chicken was hard in starters too. Chicken fry piece pulao was disappointing. They just give you plain flavor rice with pieces from curry and its not fry piece at all. Mutton biryani has pieces way undercooked. Ambience n service was nice but if you want to enjoy food not worthy.
