    Masala dosa - excellent!
    Steve S.

    We decided to stop here and try it because another Yelper recommended it to us. It's an Indian vegetarian restaurant. It's excellent. It's a special place! We started with Pani puri, interesting puff balls with yogurt. Delicious. I had the Kattappa sandwich. Serving size here is large, I couldn't finish it and it was excellent! My son had the Masala dosa. Hard to describe but we both loved it! As Arnold said, 'I'll be back'!

    Love love love the food!!! We were told this location follows Gujarati recipes so we ordered all North Indian food. Have not tried any South Indian food here yet. Dahi puri was SO GOOD! The crunchy puri, cold sweet yogurt, spices, sev etc were all point! Pav Bhaji was really good too. The spice level was just right. The pav was toasted in butter and the bhaji was just what I was expecting from a good pav bhaji Paneer Makhani - I thought nothing can beat the dahi puri, but the paneer makhani hit it out of the park! It tasted like wedding food in India. The gravy was so well made, paneer was soft and the rice served with it made it a good combo The best thing at the end was the paan. I wouldn't say it was the best paan I have had, but it was pretty decent for ending a fantastic meal.

    Tried so many fun things tonight! You know it's legit when you're one of the only non-Indian folks in the joint. Thanks to our friends for ordering and introducing me to some great plates from across India. The puri was delicious and the yogurt was on point-eat fast so the puri crisp doesn't get soggy! Not pictured my pista (pistachio) lassi.

    Their Vada Pav tasted delish!!! This is a 100% vegetarian restaurant and they have all great food options and this is GREAT!. They have vegan options too. Their customer service is good. The place is cozy for dine in. They also do carry out. They have parking in front of them and on the side too. They are located in this shopping mall kind of area and you have more space to park on the side. They are open all day long and do not close after lunch hours. They are business casual and family friendly as well.

    Kattappa Sandwich

    We have been to both of their locations, first in Dallas and now in Cincinnati. This one is even better than the other. Went for Saturday Breakfast and it was so fresh and tasty. Kattappa sandwich was perfect in portion and taste as well! Friendly service and nice set up.

    Chana Puri
    John B.

    A chain which proudly displays its global reach, this place offers a wide variety of vegetarian Indian cuisine. I sampled a chana puri (chickpeas with fried bread) and a veg manchurian, which I asked for spicy and which were. Despite the fresh onions and a bit of pickle on the side, the chana puri here was not quite as good as the one I got at the Louisville Honest (which was incredible). Still, it is certainly quality comfort food. My manchurian was, despite being the dry version, more sauce than dumpling, but it was a zingy flavor. I would not say the service was the best, as I was waiting around without water having had some spicy and salty food. I would say that there is plenty of deliciousness to be had here.

    Samosa chaat
    Aditi R.

    Honest is honestly okay. Not for the ones looking for the most authentic Indian food. However, it somewhat satisfies Indian food cravings and taps into nostalgia. We went in last week to get some Chaat and pav bhaji. I ordered the samosa chaat and my friend got the plain pav bhaji. Upon first glances, it's common to think- wow, the prices aren't too bad. When the food arrived, we realized why. The quantity isn't generous. It's not too little, but smaller than you'd expect. The samosa chaat was okay. It was spicy and needed some more tang though. The pav bhaji was average too. Not authentic Bombay style, but I can't describe what's missing. The flavors aren't perfect, but it's not bad. All in all, I can't sum it better than this: the food is alright, just doesn't taste perfectly authentic. I appreciate the attempt though, atleast it serves pav bhaji.

    Great new spot in the neighborhood! The staff was so friendly and helpful, we had a lot of questions and our server was patient and made good recommendations. Everything here is vegetarian, but there's still plenty of options and variety on the menu. We tried the samosas, a couple entrees and garlic naan and enjoyed all of it! My favorite item was the veg hyderabadi which were veggies mixed in a spinach sauce. Would return.

    Paneer Tava Masala
    Ivy H.

    We are always looking for a new Indian restaurant to try so we decided to check this place out after seeing the reviews. We were quickly greeted at the door. The server was very friendly and answered our many questions. The food was so flavorful and the spices were next level. So many different options than we are used to seeing around the Cincinnati area. Cannot wait to go back and try some other menu items!

    It was really good! Met every expectation and I have had a lot of Indian restaurant foods in the past!

    Inside

    Had a shared feast with my friends. This place is so good! The listed food is really yummy. Recommended everything. I would say that medium spicy is around a jalapeño spiciness. The gobi Manchurian is in a sauce and is not dry. Good turnaround is quick.

    Vada-Pav
    Anmol R.

    Best Vadapav in Cincinnati hands down. The service is gotten better over the months but still some room for improvement. The ambiance is great. A must visit for vegetarians in Cincinnati.

    Absolutely delicious my favorite place to eat in Cincinnati!!!
