11. Garlic Naan and 6. Chicken Tikka Masala
Alan G.

I've been reading reviews on this place. I've driven past this place many times and rarely saw cars in the parking lot. So we wanted India food and was on that side of town so we decided to stop in. It was dark and was a little hard seeing the driveway but we were the only ones in the parking lot. We went in and we were seated right away. I got the tikka chicken saag and a garlic naan and my wife got the Chicken Tikka Masala. I would have to agree with the people who reviewed this place. This is a diamond in the rough. The food was excellent and I got a heat rating of a 6. Was supposed to be super hot but it wasn't but a pleasant hot. I would definitely go back when I want Indian food. I have to say they get a lot of carry out orders.

10. Saag Paneer
Scott N.

As others have said, AAP India does not look like much from the outside. Given we were the first customers the day we went, parking in what looked like a deserted building gave me pause. We were, however, ready for some Indian food, we drove here and, by golly, we were going in! Thank goodness we didn't retreat, because the food waiting for us was truly delicious Indian food. I got my favorite, Saag Paneer. I believe Mark go Chicken Vindaloo. The Naan was wonderfully soft and flavorful. The Saag, which I ordered a little big spicier than I normally would, was outstanding. I couldn't get enough! Mark loved his meal as well. The place is comfortable inside. I'm sure it was a different chain restaurant before it became AAP India. Given the proximity to our home, this will become our go-to spot for eating Indian food out.

Just decadent delicious Paneer Tikka Masala.

WOW! The food here is absolutely gourmet and delicious! Don't let the drab, rough exterior of the restaurant and parking lot fool you, deliciousness is awaiting you inside! I was slightly disappointed that their buffet was standing but not operating, but I still wanted to try the food. I got a cup of lentil Punjabi soup and it was absolutely delicious. I love it when Indian dishes have complex flavors, with herbs, spices, and seeds. The paneer tikka masala was also amazing, nice and spicy (I order 6/6 spice level) and very fresh tasting with that "party in your mouth" taste. Prices weren't cheap, but weren't excessive. My bill after tax was over $22, but I was happy to pay that intermediate price point for such delicious food. Again, as I've mentioned in previous reviews I don't tip at Indian restaurants. I noticed the culture not tipping and I asked questions. I was told that tipping was not customary and they work on purely "salary" (price of the food is raised accordingly). I wish I was in the area more often because the food here is a KNOCKOUT!

5. Special Tea

I know this is the Yelp standard text that floats in before you right a review, but this restaurant seriously did not look like much from the outside. The parking lot could definitely use some resurfacing. The interior, however, was pretty pleasant if you like Pakistani soap operas playing in the background. The name of the place was odd, and no explanation presented itself (apparently AAP is an Indian political party...?). But the bottom line of course is the food, and I had a hankering for the classic chickpea curry and fried bread which they offer. I find it odd that this place, like others in the area, brings rice with your chickpeas; it seems to me that the whole point is that you're using the bread to eat them. It's a shame because it was fluffy rice with a hint of spices, but I didn't eat all of it. My chickpeas were ordered at the maximum level of spiciness and delivered a slow burn kind of experience. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't come with any accoutrements (instead of the rice I would much sooner have had some fresh onions and a bit of pickled mango or something). The quality of what I received, however, was evident, with brightly flavored, freshly cooked chickpeas with ample spices and an indulgent bread. My milk tea on the side likewise was robust in flavor. It wasn't perfect, but I left satisfied.

See all

Best Indian food in Cincinnati. I grew up on eastside, but venture to the west solely for this Indian spot.

Pretty good food and decent service. The food is not very spicy, if you like spicy ask for at least a 6.

Pumped to find this place. Used to have to drive all over town for Indian living on the west side. Just as good as any I have had.
