The food was top tier and Howe fresh. We were able to speak to the owner about his dishes and vision. This was probably the best Indian food I've had in the city! Eric the server was attentive and engaging. Can't say enough good things about the food, the atmosphere, and the service read more

I'm really disappointed and I definitely won't order from here again. I paid $22 for a lamb biryani, and there were only a few pieces of meat on the plate. It honestly felt like I ordered a plate of rice with just a sample of lamb. Very disappointing and a waste of money. read more

Came here to try out a new Indian restaurant and bring my friend to give Indian food another shot. I heard of this place online and have been meaning to check it out so came here after a wine tasting and before I went out to a birthday celebration. It was easy to get seated right away. They have plenty of tables and a very extensive bar as well. The staff was friendly and our server was great. They are very attentive to filling water and checking in on you. I've eaten may Indian dishes so was wanting to try something different and asked the server for his reco. He said if I'm wanting to be adventurous finding's ribs so I did. Got the 6 piece tandoori ribs which comes with a few thin well seasoned potato skins and then an chilli honey sauce. The safe was amazing and made the dish the tips were very tender and pulled right off the bone. This is definitely a spicy dish with the chili honey sauce but without, anyone can eat them as the tandoori flavor was not spicy. The waiter saw I loved the sauce so much he brought me another as I was drenching the ribs in the sauce. The dish is not too filling though as I wish they had give. A bit more fries and an actual side salad vs. just the garnish of greens below it. Normally when you eat the curry dishes you get full with leftovers but this was just enough food. I got the pistachio ice cream for dessert which was absolutely delicious. It's homemade and you can tell as it's got the rich creamy taste. My friend got the saag paneer. She did not have a great first experience with Indian food as she doesn't really like the curry flavor but I knew she would like something by like the saag as the spinach and onion flavor is more powering than any of the curry spices. I she loved it! So glad I could make that happen so we can go to other Indian places. I will be back to try some other dishes and see what other new things I can try and also try some of the classic dishes I love like special chicken tikka masala to see if they do it different. read more

Flavors N Spices - 6 Piece Tandoori Pork Ribs - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Clean, classy black tablecloth vibe--Indian food served like it's wearing a tux. You'll find the usual greatest hits (and a whole entourage of naan), all executed really, really well. The owner and staff are genuinely friendly--like "we want you happy" friendly, not "we're being nice for Yelp" friendly. Pro move: call ahead. If you're lucky--and management decides you've earned their blessing--you might score the only two-top by the window. It's the kind of seat that makes you feel important even if your biggest accomplishment today was putting on pants. I'd give it a five if it were more unique... but it's not trying to reinvent India. It's just confidently, consistently excellent. And honestly? Sometimes that's the flex. read more

First the good: Best chicken biryani we have had anywhere in the U.S., the chicken momo was flavorful with a good steamed dumpling chewy texture and spicy dipping sauce. They asked what level of spice I wanted and I opted for mild, because I wasn't sure what their scale was, and the mild biryani was what I'd have deemed a 4/10 medium on a spice scale but my partner rated it 6/10. The not-as-good but still pretty good: the chicken tikka masala tasted a lot like curried tomato soup to me (sweet, but missing the creamy profile that I expect of chicken tikka masala). The chicken in the dish was very tender and flavorful--which tells me the tandoori chicken is probably amazing there--but the tikka masala sauce was not quite what I expected. It would have been really good with a grilled cheese. It was mild-mild (no spice level that I could discern, but flavorful). I see in Google reviews that other people loved it. The naan quality was similar to what I've gotten when I buy premade, packaged naan rather than freshly made. It had char marks, but wasn't fluffy with air pockets, more the texture of a pancake. Flavor was good. Service was friendly and fast (25 mins for the above dishes). I was seated at the bar while waiting for the takeout delivery and was offered a glass of water while I waited. read more

I went here on a business trip with a couple of co-workers and to be honest, wasn't expecting much. I have eaten Indian food many times over the years but am more of a thai food person. The food was excellent. Truly the best Indian food I have eaten in my 60 years on earth. You will not be disappointed. read more

Seasoned traveler looking for a delicious delivery to the hotel room and secured this gem of a menu. From placing the order to goods received, the time was less than 20 minutes! Thank you for the prompt service! Phenomenal keema mutter, followed by lamb & black lentils. Mild spice flavor, exactly the expectation when placing the order. Portions were perfect and not overwhelming. Five out of Five. The name of the restaurant says it all. read more

Delicious food, friendly service, and an attractive dining room. Great value for the price. We had the aloo tikki chaat appetizer, first time I've had this dish, and it was outstanding. I would highly recommend it. Even the garlic naan was special, fresh chopped garlic and a nice textured bottom. read more

Food here was tremendous! I highly recommend the tikka masala (so creamy and buttery) and the makhani (slightly warmer with cashews for a crunchy delight) as two standout dishes. I recommend trying the dishes at the mild spice level and then working your way up the heat levels with a dish at a time. Service was attentive and very gracious to all customers. I cannot say enough nice things about the friendliness of the staff and how welcoming we were made to feel. Such a warm and inviting atmosphere! The location's seating and decor was simple, nice, and elegant in design. I would recommend this spot to anyone interested in great Indian food at a very reasonable price. The best Indian food I've had in the downtown area! read more

I had been excitedly waiting for Flavors n Spices to open so that there would be an Indian food place downtown, and I was even more excited once I tried it. Every dish we've tried has been top notch - and it's all wonderfully spicy. The chicken 65 appetizer is as spicy as we were warned it would be, and I try to order it every time I've eaten here. The uncommon dishes we've tried have also been delicious - the fish Konkani, the lamb and black lentils, the fish madras, and gongura chicken. Our only disappointment was that they were out of the gongura mutton, but we will be back to try it soon. A wonderful addition to the downtown dining scene! read more

Everything was fantastic , service, food, and ambiance on point! Can't wait to go back. Highly recommend.

This place is incredible. Very friendly and welcoming staff with a warm inviting atmosphere. The food was delicious, one of the best meals we've had during our time in the city. Spice was a tad hotter than I'm used to getting ( medium) so I'd opt for mild next time. You definitely need this food in your life, it was like a hug for your insides. read more

See all

Probably the best experience I've had at a restaurant Downtown ever. Fantastic service. White table cloth, candle at your table. Prompt refills on water. Delicious food that is not just a facsimile of every other Indian restaurant in town (and at a lower price point!). We also were seated a great location right next to the window where we could enjoy the Downtown ambiance. Highly recommend. read more

Food was very good and you can see the effort that was put into the restaurant. Highly recommend.

The service was friendly and prompt. The ambiance was nice: nice wall decor and the music was enjoyable. The food was incredible. I had the aloo matar and my dining partner had chicken vindaloo. We shared a naan. It was wonderful and we will be back. read more

While I will forever miss Haru Korean, which used to be in this location, it's replacement, Flavors and Spices, is delicious. The lunch menu, while not as lengthy as the dinner menu, had plenty to choose from and the portions were perfectly sized. The kurma was something new to me and I thoroughly enjoyed it. And the makhani was amazingly good. I am looking very forward to getting a chance to try out their larger dinner menu and especially getting to try out their weekend specials. If you enjoy Indian food, you should absolutely give this a try. read more

Downtown has been missing an Indian restaurant for quite a while, so I was happy to see Flavors N Spices open. I went to lunch with a group of four. There were other customers there, but it wasn't crowded. We were seated quickly. I had the Chicken Makhani, and enjoyed it very much. All of my coworkers were happy with their meals and we plan on coming back. read more

A nice addition to downtown. Great food and service. The ambience is warm with nice paintings around the place. We tried bunch of appetizers and all were great. Hyderabad chicken biryani was super with lot of flavors and spices just like the name of place. We will come again with the family this time was a boys night out. read more
