Place was empty when we arrived (6:30 on a Saturday night). 2 other parties of 3 came in while we were there. Ordered the Aloo Tiki for an app because we normally get keema samosa but they didn't have it on the menu. The Aloo Tiki was eh... 3 out of 5. Both of us got the chicken tikka masala for an entree and though it was good, baba India, and shaan indian are better. I'd never crave this place, but it's not bad if you want to try something new. read more

Good Indian can be hard to find, but I've visited this place twice, and I'd definitely say this is some delicious food. I'm a huge fan of Chicken Saag, and their's is absolutely incredible. I usually get it a little above medium spice level, as the middle level is a bit too tame for my tastes. You get plenty of food with each meal, and their naan is also excellent. Located in Silverton, I don't have much of a reason for heading that way except for this place. It's easy to drive by or miss, but I'd definitely recommend scoping it out for some good Indian food when you're in the mood! read more

Good stuff! The lunch buffet has a bit more spice than the average Indian buffet, which I appreciate, and the sauces are a bit more tomato-y. So glad to have this place in the neighborhood. read more

Delhi Palace - A selection from the lunch buffet. Plenty for vegetarians and carnivores. - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I tried more than 15 Indian restaurants across the country, this one is in the bottom of the list: their nan is too thin, most of the time burned . And the food is not spicy even you ask for it . I'm making this review after getting food from there 2 times . read more

My sister ordered the chicken curry & a mango lassi, I got chicken shahi korma & an aloo bhatura,we also had some papadam with sauces/chutneys (tamarind, red pepper & mint) & some rice pudding for dessert. Everything was excellent, the lassi & the rice pudding weren't ridiculously sweet but just right, and the spice level of the entrees was a little better/hotter than other Indian restaurants in the area for the same rating (DP uses a scale of 1 to 6), my sister ordered a 3 & I ordered a 4 (which made me sweat but wasn't too hot - still be delightfully flavorful). The two handsome gentlemen who waited on us were very friendly, efficient & extremely charming. read more

Serves best Chicken tikka masala and chicken tikka saag in the town. Dining is great at this place. Servers are friendly and very helpful. Chicken tikka and tandoori chicken comes right from the pan with all smoke adding to the appetite. The buffet has lot of options and tastes wonderful. read more

Delhi Palace - Buffet - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I stopped by Delhi Palace to check out the Lunch Buffet with some coworkers and it did not disappoint. There were a wide array of vegetarian options, and plenty for the meat eatin' crowd as well. It's also very reasonably priced ($7.99). Not much of an ambiance, but we were just there for the food! I'd defitely recommend the lunch buffet at Delhi Palace, and would be happy to revisit them in the future. read more

I once tried to make Chicken Tikka Masala but it tasted more like a creamy Cincinnati style chili with chunks of chicken in it. Every other cuisine I've attempted I've been able to recreate with a recipe and my palate but for some reason Indian food eludes me. Maybe that's why I love Indian food SOOO much. it's complex and different from everything else. On one plate you'll find savory, sweet, spicy, sour, creamy, crunchy and chewy and somehow it all comes together into a harmonious whole. Well, it is when it's done right like it is here. I love a good buffet. I pick what and how much. I usually go through twice with the first pass being a tasting and the second where I jump in on one or two items. A buffet needs several things to be good. You NEED choices of starters, mains, sides and desserts. You need flavor but you have to make it palatable to all. Your dining room staff has to be careful not to let down their guard, buffets are much easier to serve but you have to keep glasses full and plates cleared. You know, the stuff they do so well here. The lunch buffet was terrific! Great Dal soup. The Chicken Makhani was amazing. Cabbage Masala was a delightful surprise. The Naan kept coming out fresh, hot, chewy, soft and delicious. And as so many others have pointed out, the service was incredibly friendly! I felt like a guest in the home of a dear friend not like a patron. Only thing I could say anything bad about was that the rice, like it does at most Indian buffets, came off as an obligation. I like the rice at an Indian restaurant to be something that can stand alone without any of those wonderful curries but this didn't. No flavor and I only saw one lonesome pea in the pan. I'm sure that's just for when they're running the buffet though. Can't wait to try some of the regular menu items delivered right to my front door! They deliver! Woot!!! read more

This is my favorite Indian takeout restaurant. Excellent food with still reasonable prices. Order well ahead- they are often busy (not surprisingly). Large portions, especially the biryanis! Lamb rogan josh, chicken tikka saag and vegetable biryani are favorites, as well as the bhaturas. read more

Great great Indian food. This place is not very far from my house and whenever I drive by there are always a good amount of cars in their lot, especially for the lunch buffet. I always try to get something somewhat healthy so I go for the chicken options I've never had any issues what so ever with the orders being wrong when I pick up or get it delivered. I've also eaten in the restaurant before. The atmosphere is a little weird for being an Indian restaurant but this place has switched hands several times over the past few years (up until now) it's always been clean and pleasant so no issues there either. Whenever I have the urge for Indian (which has increased thanks to Delhi palace). I highly recommend the Naan or the jalfrezi . read more

Delhi Palace - Chicken tikka, so good! - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

This is hands down the best Indian I've had not just in Cincinnati, but any city I've had Indian it.

Delicious. Delicious. Delicious. There are a few things that make this place great: 1) The people: The people here are amazing! Great staff; very nice, personal, funny, and helpful. 2) The food: Every single thing I have tried here has been amazing. Veggy and meat options alike. 3) BYOB: speaks for itself. Stop at BP in Pleasant Ride, grab a 6 pack of Madtree, and you're good to go. The tandoori chicken is probably one of my favorite dishes here! It's a must have. It's NOTHING like the buffets I have had in the past - much more flavor. It's hard to explain how good it is. My second favorite is the Chicken Curry. Delicious. Eater be warned though - their spice scale is NO joke. I feel like I can handle spicy foods pretty well, but I ordered a 4 here and could not handle it! Start low and move your way up. You can't go wrong, just point to something and try it. We usually just all order something and pass it around! read more

This restaurant is carry out only . Although the sign says open, there isn't any seating. Their website also doesn't say carry out only

Spicy and delicious! ordered the channa masala and lamb do piaza on carryout. I was pleasantly surprised by both. The prices were great, though I would say to go a spice level down. I get a 4 every time I eat Indian, and next time I'll be getting a three. Going back later this week! read more

The best Indian food outside of Clifton! Been to every Indian restaurant in Cincinnati (.... little obsessed) and this has the best lunch buffet! Dinner prices are great too! Great service, incredible food. Don't get me wrong, Shaan and Baba india are great too but this place reminds me of Deep India in Clifton! SO DELICIOUS! Will be back again and again and again! read more

This is definitely one of the best Indian restaurants around. Place is very clean,friendly, and offers fantastic lunch buffet. Everything was perfect! Great location and plenty of parking. I highly recommend. read more

Ooh la la. I went based on the recommendation of a friend. I actually rather enjoy dining alone, and if you do as well, this place is conducive to it (at least on a Monday evening). To begin, the papadam and chutneys arrived and were excellent. I thought the tamarind sauce was particularly tasty, and the other two didn't disappoint. I had a hankering for some paneer, so I ordered the paneer pakora appetizer. It arrived with a fantastic golden, crispy outside, about 6 slices, so great for sharing. Next up, was a chai tea, which was fantastic. It arrived at the perfect temperature and was spiced to perfection. My main dish was chicken tikka, which arrived on a sizzling dish with peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The chicken was tender, but not too tender. The portion was massive, definitely a dish for sharing. The rice arrived a little late, but was accompanied with a delicious, mild sauce the waiter suggested, which added a nice flavor/consistency (since tandoor items aren't saucy). Note to self: order naan next time. I expected it to accompany my tandoor dish. Portions were great (I have a boxful of glorious leftovers), the restaurant was very clean, prices were excellent (under $20 pre-tip for everything I mentioned above), and I enjoyed every part of my meal. I'll be back-- next time, I will try something with some heat and give an update. read more

The best Indian food in Cincinnati. I take my Indian food very seriously, and previously drove to Clifton for Ambar. (20mins approx) Not any more. Delhi Palace is it. Super bonus... They deliver. Love : hot and spicy naan, nav rattan korma, veggie kofta. Husband loves the chicken vindaloo and special appetizer. They always include a small complimentary sample of another dish in our carry out order, such as raita or a dessert of sorts. Nice touch. I usually get a level four spice; here I get a three.. Their spice levels are a tad more intense than anywhere else. Also of you love chutneys (mint, onion, etc..) I will admit their chutneys are just ok. read more

This place is unbelievable. I work at Crunch and I need good indian food and I could not be happier! I use Door Dash to have it delivered, and although, a bit pricey, I get the buttered chicken, the naan, the rice pudding, and the rice. It's amazing. You won't be disappointed. read more

I got a carry out order the other night and it was really good. It was my first time trying food from here and I enjoyed it. The spice levels seemed a bit high for the numbers that I ordered but I enjoyed it. It is usually the other way around. Though I did not eat there the inside seemed nice and welcoming. It is nice to know that I have a good Indian carry out so close to home. read more

Tea was delicious...too sweet though. Not sure if they can tone it down..I didn't ask. Somosa chat was delicious. Garlic naan was top notch. Really good flavor for chana saag and malai kofta aloo gobi was actually as hot as I requested. Spicy but tasty. Rice was light and fluffy. read more

This was my first taste of Indian cuisine, and I will be going back. They have a spice range from 1(not spicy) to 6 (EXTREMELY spicy), and as a wimp with zero spice tolerance, the1 was actually extremely tasty. My two friends and I had a variety of meals - one vegetarian, one chicken, and one lamb. All 3 were fantastic. We also got three different Naan breads, which were also good (paneer, chef, and garlic). The staff was very helpful for the two of us who had never been there before and was kind and cautious in allowing one of us to get a 4 (on the spice meter). Tip: It is BYOB for drinks. read more

Update: their quality and service have both steadily improved. I remain a loyal customer.

My husband and I had the pleasure of dining at this place for the first time last night and it was an absolutely amazing find. Best Indian in Cincinnati - cannot wait to go back. We shared the Lamb Korma and Chicken Tikka Masala - portions were plenty big - we definitely had enough leftover for lunch the next day AND the dishes were delicious. And the service was great. AND this place is BYOB?! If you love Indian food you need to check this out ASAP. read more

Our favorite Indian restaurant in Cincinnati - hands down! We miss visiting for the lunch buffet, but in the meantime our delivery and takeout orders have all been piping hot and delicious! read more

My favorite Indian restaurant in Cincinnati! Love the garlic naan, chicken masala, kulfi, and their vegetarian dishes. Buffet items are awesome! Great price, high quality food and always friendly service. I wouldn't go anywhere else. Also, I love it whenever I order to go or for delivery, they will add a complementary (once in a while) item such as a salad or dessert. Little touches like that aren't common at other restaurants. They truly value their customers! read more

Good, Spicy, flavourful indian food. Place to go for authentic Indian food. Friendly staff. read more

This is a wonderful, delicious restaurant. The lunch buffet is fantastic, and a great way to try new dishes! They have the friendliest staff, and lots of parking out front. They also have great portions for carry out. read more

So far, so good. Only eaten here once, but it won't be the last time. Had the saag paneer, which was delicious. The customer service was excellent. The host was very attentive and offered me various accommodations. Just down the road from Kenwood mall, it was very quiet and empty when I went on a Tuesday evening. read more

See all

The food is seriously amazing, the ambiance, not so much. We haven't had a bad meal here. The chicken makhani is to die for! The chicken tikka comes with varied vegetables, including cauliflower, onions, carrots and more. Mushroom saag..... I could eat it over and over again. Vegetable pakoras are my favorite appetizer. The portions are good, the service is pretty good. I try to go every few weeks. Hands down the best Indian in Cincinnati. read more

Ordered takeout and it was delicious. Like most Indian dishes, it was a lot of food so I had some leftovers. Good to have some good Indian food in the neighborhood so I'll be back, hopefully dining in next time. read more

I visited for the lunch buffet today and this is now by far my favorite Indian restaurant. The buffet had such a great variety and was so delicious! I'll definitely be coming back frequently. EDIT: I had previously given them a five star review but I had to edit my review after my most recent experience. Make sure there is a minimum of at least an hour left on the buffet, otherwise, there will be nothing left and they won't refill it. I should have looked to see what was left before I committed to eating there. I figured 45 minutes should be plenty of time left for there to still be a decent selection and not just get scraps. read more

Food is always exactly as ordered and spice levels as requested. Wait times are always very reasonable and staff is friendly. COVID protocols are followed for pickup orders. read more

Favorite restaurant in Cinci. Not stuffy or particularly fancy, never had a huge wait, not especially pricey, service is so friendly, and the food is excellent. I'm the furthest thing from a snob for stuff like server's attire, but it stood out to me how they were all professionally dressed, very quick service, and so so friendly! Big smiles. Really makes you feel like you're wanted. And want to go back. I usually tip 30% just because i feel the price is so good for what im getting. Get the chicken tikka masala or you're messing up. read more

Best price for the best Indian food I've had.. and I have tried MANY places. Lamb curry and garlic nan bread is ALWAYS ama read more

Delhi Palace - Lamb Curry - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Food is excellent!!! Always hot when we pick it up and the staff is very friendly. Some of the best quick Indian places I've been.

This is a very good Indian restaurant, the best I've found so far in Cincinnati. I always order the lamb vindaloo with a spiciness of 6, which contrary to other reviews has never been that spicy. I guess Cincinnati Indian restaurants just don't make food that spicy, because this is pretty spicy for Cincinnati but compared to elsewhere is still pretty mild. It's still very tasty, though, and I highly recommend it. Some Indian restaurants leave you feeling a little funny afterwards. Never Delhi Palace -- we always leave feeling great. The naan selection is strong, the lassis are good, and the appetizers are all delicious too. We always come at dinner time and see a lot of people coming in for take-out, so that seems like a great option too. I see where they must have a buffet, but we're never in the area at lunch time so we can't try it out. This is in our regular restaurant rotation. Highly recommended!! read more

My boyfriend and I regularly come here to eat, even though it is extremely out of the way for us. That goes to show that this restaurant is totally worth it. First of all, the staff is always friendly. I have never had bad service here. They always stay on top of your drinks and are always checking up on you. Even for it being a lower-priced menu, they really go above and beyond what would be expected. Secondly, I have had Indian from many places in the area and this one tops them all. The food is always consistent and fresh, unlike the other ones I have tried. I always order the Chicken Tikka Saag at a 3 out of 6 and Bhatura and leave happy with my selection each time. The price is also very manageable for the amount of food you get. If you want more rice, then you can get it free of charge. the only thing I was disappointed over was the lunch buffet but because it didn't have enough spice to my liking, which is understandable. Overall, I rate this restaurant five stars and recommend it to all my friends whom love Indian. I could easily eat here every week if it was closer! read more

We've been to 5 Indian restaurants in the area, and while all were very good, Delhi palace is by far the best. We are regulars there and I'm pretty sure all that work there know us by name now! The food is addictingly good. read more
