A woman-owned business is a great business and Crossroads Biryani was just that. Medium was the perfect amount of spice! Family enjoyed the food and trying new things. The self service helped me feel at home because I could refill my water when I wanted instead of waiting for a server. The music on the tv provided nice ambience. A little loud for me, but it was fine for my family of teens and adults. read more

The food here is really good. If you like actual spicy food, this is the place for you. Try the goat biryani or spicy and amazing. We also really enjoy their other dishes, I don't think I've had anything I didn't like here. The restaurant itself is small and kind of a hole in the wall, but it's clean and the staff were nice. They serve on disposable dishes, but I don't think that's a big deal. The one thing that keeps them from getting a five star rating is that they don't have naan, at least when you order on DoorDash. I can't remember if they had it when we ate in. read more

The food tasted good but the quality was suspect. My dish came with a hair in it which I understand can happen but put me off considerably. I would recommend carry out as they only offer paper plates and plastic silverware if you eat in. read more

Worest quantity i have ever received from any store. I have ordered it for the first time

A must visit if you are in the area. Not only was the food incredibly cheap for the generous serving sizes, but it truly is delicious as well. We were greeted by a kind, helpful man with a moustache who sat us, gave us menus, recommendations and explained the ordering process. He continuously got us refills of water, despite it being a self service water station, was attentive and caring throughout the meal, and overall showed fantastic hospitality through the meal. The food was delicious. As someone who eats at Indian restaurants frequently I was delighted to have an authentic meal and experience. The spice level was perfect (medium spice) and the chicken was tender. The butter chicken was superb, tender, juicy, spicy, and incredibly flavorful. The Mango Lassi is head to head with the best I've had, cold, heavy on the mango flavor, and a perfect pairing with the meal, especially during the hot weather. The restaurant itself was clean, had indoor seating, and an incredibly kind and peaceful ambience with Telugu music to set the perfect vibe. Overall I would say this is one of the best small restaurants one could visit while in the area. An incredibly kind staff with the best Indian food in the area makes this a no brainer for a returning visit, and an absolute must for a first time visit. read more

Food was extremely good! Perfect level of spice (level 4 out of 5). It's a very casual dining spot. Service was great, we were checking on multiple times. Receiving the food was just a little bit slow, but it was very obvious that the food was cooked to order which I loved. read more

Mid. That about sums it up. I had a hankering for Indian food while working on base earlier today, so I put in a timed order at Crossroads for 11:45 this morning. I was delayed slightly getting out the door and left at 11:55. When I arrived, my order still wasn't ready, and I ended up waiting until around 12:15. The restaurant was fairly busy, so I gave them the benefit of the doubt and took my curry in good faith. My chicken tikka masala? All heat, little flavor. And, where nearly every other Indian place around us has customizable spice levels, Crossroads did not. I was also a bit shocked to see a giant chunk of green pepper in my sauce, which left a kind of raw pepper flavor in the food. My rice was fine, but the bread was a real disappointment. Thin, greasy, and genuinely underwhelming, the roti was literally the opposite of what I love about Indian bread. My serving size was big enough for me to have leftovers tomorrow, but after thinking it over, I went ahead and tossed them. It just wasn't worth it. With so many other fantastic Indian places around Dayton, I just don't see a reason to go to Crossroads. Hit up Jeet/Amar, Maharajah, or Gulzar's instead. read more

A local owned business run by a Indian family. The hospitality and service was good. The place had decent tables. It's a bit far away from the town but it's worth the drive. All the dishes were excellent and reminded me of home a lot. Their Cut Mirchi was amazing. Spicy, hot and flavorful. I would go here every time I crave for it. The Andhra chicken curry (bone in) was very good as well. Finally Raju gari kodi pulov was on point as well. I highly recommend this place. read more

Worst Indian food we ever had. Tried dining in for lunch, brought it out to us in to go plastic cups then we had to ask for plates which were paper stacked in the corner we got ourselves. Asked for mild, it was not, but didn't taste good either. read more

Crossroads Biryani & Grill - Fine dining in, on paper plates - Indian Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

Great, spicy authentic Indian food. Friendly service. Woman owned. Fair warning though even the mild is spicy!!!!

We recently ordered food from Biryani & Grill in Fairborn. A little background- I love Indian, Nepalese and middle eastern food and have ate it in varying regions. So to see Indian available in Ohio both makes me cautious and excited. Overall we were impressed!! The food was tasty and cooked well. Lots of fresh ingredients and the spice levels were correct for what we ordered. Be careful though if you can't handle spice start mild and work your way up. This spice is different than mexican food or hot wings. It can affect people differently. The staff were kind and joyful as well as offered a military discount. The rice was perfectly cooked and the appetizer was spot on. Our mains were butter chicken and chicken tikka marsla and tasted really good with plenty of chicken in the sauce They didnt have papadums and their garlic Naan tasted like it might of been store bought but had takeout so not sure if that affected the texture being wrapped in foil for the drive home. If we were in overseas we'd call it a good village curry. We will eat there again and hopefully dine-in next time. read more

Take out | Dinner | $10-20 Dark, dingy, doesn't follow instructions that I needed " no spice" due to medical condition that makes spicy food and I not to get along. Lady at counter assured it would be " no spice." After 20 promised minutes turned into an hour, she said "5 more mins please as this is a special request". I told her rice takes 20 mins to cook and chicken about the same so it would be 40 mins max. I then told her 5 mins or I'm getting a refund. Discovered when I got home that the chicken was beyond jalapeño with seeds hot. They left in the hot spices ( black strings) and covered it up. They don't honor requests and they make excuses. Mirror in dinning room wasn' t clean and health inspectors need to make a surprise visit based on what I saw in the kitchen from the open side window. Smells like sewer, but location makes a great police hideout for those distracted while at the light. Avoid if you want to save your taste buds and not get sick. read more

The food is usually very good. Spice level is HOT! If you like spicy Indian food, this is the place. Service is mostly slow. Think they need more help or a larger kitchen. This place has real potential if they work out the spice level and customer service issues. Really hope they do. read more

Best Indian food I've had in along time, every one was more than friendly and accommodating ,they even have Gluten-free options, just ask. You know it's good Indian cuisine when you see local Indian people eating there. read more

Hubby and I stopped at Crossroads Biryani and Grill one weekday afternoon after work. We were able to order easily Chipotle style, building our individual Bowls with different meats, vegetables, and sauces. The food was good, although it left few options for me for sauces without dairy due to the yogurt in everything. I also tried really hard to get a bowl that wasn't spicy, and I failed. I know I have restrictions, though, and hubby enjoyed it a lot more than I did. I would recommend Crossroads but not for someone with dairy issues and not for someone who doesn't enjoy the spicy. Also, after purchase, service is almost nonexistent. Then, as the afternoon turned to evening, they got really busy, and it was hard to even move around in the small restaurant to leave. I'd encourage anyone to try Crossroads. But it just wasn't for me. read more

This was hands down the best food I have had during my two week trip in Ohio. The food was super flavorful and rich. I personally love spicy food and ordered the spiciest version of the dish they had and they certainly delivered. Not to mention the hosts were exceedingly graceful and generous. My group came in with less than an hour of their restaurant open and we're in the process of closing their kitchen. They kept the kitchen open and their restaurant open to allow us to eat. read more

Discovered cross roads and tried for the first time today. Very helpful young lady at the counter who walked us through menu and helped us navigate options. Food was very fresh and tasty. We tried two different types of chicken biryani and liked both although it was a lot of rice. read more

They were very patient and helpful with ordering. My Husband and I don't eat Indian food often because we don't really know a lot about the names of the dishes. We end up googling dishes on the menu. They took the time to explain the dishes and made recommendations from what we said we liked. This made us feel so welcome and comfortable!! Food was great! read more

The food here was incredible. We catered the food for my mother's 60th birthday. We are from Goa India and are snobs when it comes to Indian food. We all loved it. Ontop of that, we came to pick up the food and they bought balloons and a card for my mother. Great hospitality and great food! They also Provided trays, stands, hot boxes to carry the food! read more

Crossroads Biryani & Grill - Hospitality card - Indian Near Me - Fairborn, Ohio

Now occupying the site where Crossroads BBQ used to sit, this tiny place is the newest jewel in the Fairborn area's cuisine crown. Do you like Indian food? Do you like reasonable prices, polite service, and good options for takeout? Then you really need to stop by. A friend and I visited for dinner and had no competition for the tables in the small dining room. We ordered a biryani, butter chicken, samosas, naan, and one soda (there's no fountain here; soda will come in cans) and all that food rang up under $16. The portions were generous! They leave to-go containers at the plastic flatware station for a good reason. My butter chicken was velvety and delicious, the chicken chunks perfectly tender. The rice was flavorful and just the right texture. The samosas were weighty, served with two tasty dipping sauces, and the garlic naan smelled a-maaaaazing. Getting in and out of the parking lot can be tricky. Do it slowly to avoid damage to your car! It's well worth some care though to get tasty food like this. read more

The only reason they get a 1 star is because the food is decent. But as a business, they are the worst. They have no idea how to keep customers. They have no consistency. It's clear they are just a family business they have no relationship/ business skills and are quite new at this. The food is descent but the quantity- not enough for even 1 person. Over priced for what they serve and how much. And charge at will whatever they please only because they are fairly new and there is nothing decent in Dayton Although, there have been several mishaps over the course of my visits, the mishaps keep getting worst and more frequent. So much so... I won't be back. I'd much drive to West Chester / Mason area for better quality, customer service, better food and larger quantity, After ordering 2 small entrees and 1 pitiful appetizer for $60 and finished paying, I asked for some chutneys which I was told was in the bag and I should've gotten with my appetizer anyway. The owner proceeded to charge me for the 2 quarter size chutneys, so I had to use my card again for $2. For Gods Sake... give the customer the pickle. And this behavior is consistent and constant. Finally just done with their ridiculously cheap tactics! read more

Visiting from Florida and we stopped for lunch. First the owners and staff were incredibly kind. My son hadn't had Indian food before. They noticed it was too spicy for him. They immediately came over and offered limes to cool his Chili Paneer down. His dish was brought away and returned less spicy. My husband had the Chicken Biryani and it was very good. I also had the Chili Paneer and loved it. We didn't realize we stayed past their lunch hours. I only saw that once I came to write this review. So sorry! read more

One of the absolute best Indian restaurants. The locals know what's up. Highly recommend the Butter chicken and /or Chicken Tiki Masala. The couple of times we've had their naan bread was divine and worth the price; very buttery and light!! This place is a hidden gem and doesn't get enough love because of its slightly awkward location, but it's sooo worth it!!! read more

Just doesn't worth it. I ordered a chapati instead I got a papad like chapati. I paid 1$ for each chapati it's very small. It's a ready to make chapati, which you they will get 20 or 30 pack from any India grocery store. When I am paying a $1 for a single chapati, I expect it to be good. It's one of the worst chapatis I ever had. I didn't expect this restaurant to be that cheap. read more

Partner brought left overs home once, omg, so good. I had to go in person. Service was good too from the amount of takeout orders they had. Definitely recommend. read more

Better than any Indian food I can get in Columbus and that is a fact!! We ordered chicken Tikka masala, chicken vindaloo, chickpea soup, and samosas, all with rice. Unfortunately, they did not have naan, which was a huge bummer. BUT the food made up for it!! I love spicy and asked for my dish to be Spicy (one down from extra spicy). Wish I would have asked for extra spicy. The flavors and spices used were wonderful and unique. The chicken vindaloo sauce was absolutely delectable! One criticism... For the amount of entree you get, you need more rice. So ask for extra rice. read more

A very small joint and not much ambience. In house dining food gets served in take away containers, paper plates, and plastic spoons. Quite a bit wait time too. But the biryani is heavenly!!! The best I have ever eaten. Ate veg and paneer tikka masala ones. I am sure their non-veg variety would be equally mouth watering. read more

The food was very good, but the dining room is cold. Very nice workers I appreciate them.

The atmosphere is really chill with just the right amount of deviled egg gas popppers chillin at the beverage pumps shaking it real nice

Great food, great service, solid location and ambiance. I'd highly recommend and will go back again.

I love Indian food so I ordered sag paneer which was a runny green thin liquid with no real flavor. I also ordered a korma which was really sweet and had a weird flavor.The samosas were burnt and really greasy. The nam was greasy. A wasted $80 Grubhub order! read more

This restaurant is one of the best family-owned Indian restaurants. I highly recommend their biryani. They greet customers with a smile. Though the place is small, they work hard to maintain a good ambiance. This place does not get enough visibility due to its location, but it is worth it! read more

Fast friendly service. They are always busy when I go in, usually end up waiting a few more minutes than quoted but we'll worth the wait! I typically will add an extra 15 minutes to whatever time the tell me and then I'm right on time ; ) read more

Food was great. Had several items from the menu. All recommended from the employee. I would say it's a must for some authentic food. I've had places in Cali that weren't as great as this spot. read more

Nice place to have south Indian cuisine. We liked the food once and went again and were not disappointed. Will visit again.

Really great flavorful food but everything is probably going to be more spicy than most people will expect so watch out!

Holy-moly mother of all things Indian cuisine-- Crossroads is definitely a hidden gem! Must have items: samosas are divine ( flaky and decadent) and the byranni with tikka masala. My two fave Indian dishes ( byranni and chicken tikka masala) combined into a delightful dish that will leave you wondering how you've never experienced this combination previously! Generous portions on nan as well. Please support local businesses and let them know how much you appreciate them -- and tip knowing that a dedicated team of individuals made your meal possible. read more

Super good authentic Indian food with nice size portions. VERY casual dine in atmosphere-- paper plates, water dispenser, plastic utensils. Would definitely get food here again. read more

This place WILL NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I have been craving Indian food for a few weeks, but haven't seemed to have much luck in the area. I came across this little golden nugget by accident & am so glad I did! I prefer buffets because I like to try several specific dishes, but the price was right & no buffets (thank you pandemic 2020) so I chose several dishes based on reviews & my own favorites. Servings are generous, staff was courteous, every bite was perfection! read more
