When I used to live in Columbus, I would frequent the North Market in the Short North almost…read moreweekly. I visited for the first time in many years and found that most vendors have changed over the years. One familiar vendor is Flavors of India at the North Market. I had a delightful experience ordering some chicken curry along with some naan. I arrived and looked around at the options. There was a small wait for a Tuesday lunch, and I asked a many questions about the dishes. While there were meat or vegetarian entrees with rice or multiple sides, I chose to stick with the small chicken dish (8 oz) with a side of garlic naan. I figured that would complement another dish I tried from another vendor. The chicken curry dish was tasty and delicious as was the garlic naan (which certainly beat out any regular naan). The prices, however, were quite high. I enjoyed the food and would come back for other dishes or even an entree with sides in the future. Flavors of India was established in 1991 as one of the oldest merchants at the North Market. It is a family business that serves home-style Northern Indian cuisine made with freshly sourced ingredients each morning. They incorporate healthy herbs and spices (turmeric, coriander, ginger, and garlic) in each dish offering truly authentic flavors of India. There are also Vegan and Gluten-Free options available. The location is on the west side of the North Market along the wall. The hours at the North Market are Monday from 9 AM to 5 PM, Tuesday through Friday from 9 AM to 7 PM, Saturday from 8 AM to 5 PM, and Sunday from 12 to 5 PM. I would assume that later during the lunch hour during the weekends (and weekdays) it is probably quite busy. You can find a bit more information on the North Market website detailing the Flavors of India restaurant: https://northmarket.org/merchant/flavors-of-india. I certainly would come back to eat there again!

First and foremost - it's ALL RICE. 1/2 your order is rice. 1/4 of your order is sauce with MAYBE some meat in it. The naan is quite possibly the worst naan I have had. It tasted like it was freezer burned, and it was clearly bought. Like, I'm trying not to be an asshole about it, but the reviews rating it 3 stars and saying "it's good"? No. It's insulting to how much BETTER Indian food can be! It is so disappointing!

The delivery was fairly quick, given the distance, and the driver was friendly. Ambiance was hard to gauge based on Delivery, but the place seems newer.

Amul India Restaurant is located on Sawmill road a major thoroughfare in Dublin, Ohio. Amul is the Sanskrit word for "Amulya" which translates in English to priceless or precious. Their curry is precious. Upon entering I noticed that I was the only one dining at the time. This happens to me often since I eat dinner at 3 pm most of the time. The restaurant is a bit upscale with a full bar, linens and booth as well as table settings. The menu is extensive and it took me awhile to decided which dish I wanted. Once I decided the chef came out and asked me what spice level. The spice levels range from 1-6 and i went with a 4. I decided on the Kadahi mahi curry $17.99, a dish consisting of shrimp and several different types of fish all served with basmati rice which was served separately. While waiting for my meal, I ordered the garlic naan. The garlic naan was super good as was the Kadahi mahi curry and the flavorful basmati rice. I will return.

We had a group of 11 for lunch during their soft opening, and every single person left full, happy, and talking about how flavorful the food was. We started with several appetizers, including the Palak Chaat, Amritsari Fish, Chicken Lollipops, and Chicken Tikka. Every appetizer was packed with flavor and arrived fresh and hot. The Amritsari Fish and Chicken Tikka were personal favorites. For the main course, we enjoyed the Fish Tikka and Lamb Vindaloo, both of which were excellent. The spices were well balanced, the ingredients tasted fresh, and you could tell the dishes were prepared with care. One surprise was their mocktail menu. If you visit, don't miss the Spicy Guava mocktail--it was refreshing with just the right amount of kick and quickly became my favorite drink of the meal. The restaurant is spacious and can easily accommodate over 100 guests, making it a great place for family gatherings, celebrations, or larger groups. Even though they are still in their soft opening phase, the service was friendly, attentive, and efficient. If this is what Tabla is serving during its soft opening, I can only imagine how great it will be once they are fully up and running. I highly recommend giving them a try if you're looking for authentic, flavorful Indian food in the Columbus area. I'll definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

We tried a few different things, I liked the sambar, chutney, and potato accompanied by the dosa.

I wish the dosas were not so oily, that was the only downside, hope they improve this next time.

We asked the waitress. She rolls her eyes and says "it's fresh, what do you want me to do". Two other plates for our table come out. Food is hot and fresh. Clear difference in quality.

The ones that were made well were good. But there's no consistency, and pointing it out gets you worse service and poor treatment.

The main Tandoori Grill location is up on Bethel Rd. This Pakistani restaurant is one of my favorites in town. So I was excited to hear that they were opening a pop-up location downtown on Capitol Square. And more than a little confused. Their announcement made it sound like they were opening in a convenice store. That couldn't be right. Could it? Yep. It is. When you walk in, they have a couple of chafing trays set up with the day's offerings. According to the friendly folks working at the store, some of the menu will vary from day to day while other dishes will be offered regularly. When I was there they had chicken tikka masala, chickpeas, grilled chicken, and ground chicken that was formed into long patties and then grilled. They're served with/over rice. Also on the menu were chicken samosa and salad. The chicken tikka masala and samosas were both delicious. I didn't give the final fifth star however because they weren't as good as when you get them from the full restaurant on Bethel. Which makes sense in light of the fact that they were cooked earlier in the day and being kept warm. So in summary, a great downtown lunch time addition. And if you do like it, visit the full service location. It's even better.

I was so excited to read this CU article about delicious Pakistani food being available at a…read moreconvenience store near me (columbusunderground.com/...). I went as soon as I could, and honestly, so should you! If you love Tandoori Grill on Bethel or haven't been there because it's too far away, this is the perfect opportunity to try its food during the lunch hour. Ideally, this would be a 3.5 star review, but I'm rounding it up because of the convenience factor. During my visit, I tried the samosa, chickpea curry, rice, and chicken seekh kebab. The seekh kebab was the star; perfectly spiced and amazingly tender. I've had so many disappointingly dry seekh kebabs, but this was was pure perfection. Next time, I'm just getting this with rice. The chickpeas and rice were good too. Loved the samosa, though it could be a tad less oily. But, heck, I chose to have fried food. My meal also came with a side salad with an Italian vinaigrette (odd choice). The salad is typically also served in the brick and mortar location and serves as a nice palate cleanser there. But since the operation in the convenience store is takeout only, getting a dressed salad, which is limp by the time I eat it, doesn't quite make sense to me. My meal cost $12, and I would've gladly paid a little less to forego the salad. Overall, a nice addition to the downtown lunch scene, which sadly lacks good Indian food. (Don't get me started on Indian Oven. Just no.) DISCLAIMER: copied over from my initial review for G&Z stores; this business was not yet added.
