We saw the good reviews for this place that was within walking distance of our hotel (not an easy walk due to lack of sidewalks). We love Indian food and had not had it in awhile. No one was in the restaurant when we arrived for dinner so the service was prompt and friendly. We ordered a big bottle of Flying Horse beer. They served complimentary papadam with a selection of sauce and "sort of" a green salad which was unusual for most Indian restaurants we've been to. For our mains we ordered the chicken vindaloo and Channa masala. Both were very tasty and the right spiciness as ordered. We also got some naan and raita. Thumbs up for the food. The restaurant got a bit busier, maybe a quarter filled, and that is when the service slipped. We asked for the check at least three times before it was brought out. We waited15 minutes... Minus one star. read more

This place is bonkers. Truly a hidden gem, well hidden. The first time I drove by it I had no idea it was there. It's attached to an awful motel (use the restroom at your own risk). But this restaurant is amazing. The food was phenomenal. We love Indian food but this was on another level. We tried 4 different kinds of naan, all pillowy and fresh and so good with all the different sauces. Garlic was our fave. The rice is perfect, the chicken melts in your mouth, and for the most adventurous among us the goat was loved. Do yourself a favor if you're in the Youngstown area stop here, if you're just driving though stop here. Ignore everything around it. Super friendly service and crazy good fresh authentic food! read more

Completely hidden, tucked away between several terrible national hotel chains, you would *never* expect to find Indian Restaurant & Bar, but after one visit, you'll make a point of going out of your way to find it again. The service is outrageously friendly and welcoming, the food is about as perfect as you could hope for, with some subtle nuance in the seasonings and flavors, that will make you realize there is so much yet to discover with Indian cuisine. If you are passing through, do yourself a favor of checking this place out. What a totally unexpected hit! read more

I did not expect to find food that rivaled my favorite Indian places in New York in a joint in Youngstown Ohio that looks so deceptively plain, but I'm so glad I took a chance and stopped in. From the outside it looks like it's barely open, but step inside and you'll find a warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly staff, and outstanding freshly prepared food. My Chicken Tilka Masala was among the best I've ever had, with a complex blend of spices. I wish I had the time and room in my belly to try some of the more adventurous menu items, but now I have an excuse to return. Big credit too for the excellent music playlist, what a pleasant surprise to hear some Lata Mangeshkar after a long day of driving. Highly recommended! read more

Today I bought a combo for $35. It had two vegetables and 10 rotis along with salad. This is very very good!and also everything fresh ...... Good service... Thanks Pajiii read more

As unlikely and as delicious as other reviews indicate. We eat Indian food all over, and this is first rate. Nice folks too!

Enjoyed my vegetable korma and garlic basil naan. Would comeback if I'm ever at the TA again for my 10

Been to Indian restaurants around the world and this is definitely in my top choices! Perfect stop for a road trip because of the quick service and large portions! Odd outside but Gem inside read more

Friendly staff. Enjoyed everything immensely! Had Butter Chicken, Lamb Vindaloo and Lamb Kahari. Intense flavors and heat as requested. Unusual location, but would definitely recommend if you are looking for a good meal. read more

I ordered the lamb korma (medium), bullet naan, and rice pudding for takeout. The lamb korma was special as the sauce was spot on creamy goodness and the lamb chunks were very consistently cooked and not gristly or fatty at all. I am traveling for work and wish this place was near me. I'd have been just as happy if I had been served this in a fancier place in downtown Chicago. read more

I would never have stopped at this place if I hadn't seen their reviews. It is tucked back in an odd corner. They have the outside very well signed so you know where to go. I ordered online and picked up, the smell was incredible when I walked in, and the food matched. This is the best Indian food I have had in the states. I will make it a point to come back here every single time I am in Youngstown. read more

Yelp reviews were key to me finding and walking in to this establishment and I'm glad I did. The restaurant is connected to a small hotel but the food is excellent and service friendly and professional. The Samosas were fried precisely and were delicious. The Chicken Tikka Masala was seasoned perfectly and the chicken was tender. Will definitely come back when in the area. read more

So good! nice private area, the service was fast and the food was delicious! plus the workers were very friendly and helpful. read more

This food is so so good. Best Indian food restaurant I've been to in the states since going to India! The lamb korma was my favorite. Definitely a hole in the wall type place but still really yummy. Only complaint is that some of the entrees were a little expensive for the amount of meat in them. Overall would highly recommend! read more

To tell the truth I was disappointed. My grandson and I were in town for a sports competition and since we both love Indian food we decided to eat here. We ordered garlic naan, tikka masala and shrimp biryani. The naan was great, the tikka masala was very good, but the shrimp biryani was not good at all. Although shrimp was not an option the server asked for me and the cook said I could get shrimp with the biryani. The biryani was dry and just consisted of seasoned rice and the shrimp which was dry, hard and fishy tasting. I've had biryani prepared many different ways, sometimes with cashews, sometimes with currants, sometimes with both, but there is always fried onions and this time it was only spiced rice. I will say that the raita that was served with the biryani was probably the best I've had. After we got our food the server got a bit busy and forgot us, so by the time she came back we needed to leave, so I did not get the kheer which I always try to have. read more

We were looking for somewhere to eat lunch off the freeway and chose this Indian restaurant over a Chinese place with higher star rating but less stars. We made the right decision. Don't be deterred by it being a hotel restaurant. It was very clean and open. We received great service and the food was very tasty. I had the goat Tikka Masala and my sister had lentil soup and mix Paratha. Very good! Give a try. read more

Some of the best Indian food I've had! They were very friendly I did a to go order and it was ready really quickly! I had to walk in to pick it up and the restaurant was very clean and cozy! read more

This Indian food is so delicious, it rivals some of the best places in major cities. We don't even live in the state but stop here on every road trip west on Route 80. They are also very friendly. Cannot wait to go back! read more

Really unexpected delight! We just moved here from the SF Bay Area, where you can find any number of fine Indian restaurants without really trying. This was excellent. Although my British husband asked for "Indian hot" and was disappointed it wasn't spicy enough. I'm 100% sure after a few more visits, they'll realize he really means it! Our waitress, Jenny, was bubbly and fun. We will be returning, and probably become regulars. read more

All right. This may be one of my craziest reviews ever. This food was amazing. I would've never expected such good Indian food tucked away in a motel. Very clean inside, so don't let the area discourage you. Even if you are not sure of trying Indian food, do yourself a favor and go. The chicken tikka masala was amazing. Chaat and Naan. Just do it! read more

On our way to NY, we stopped by looking for fast food. Then found this jewel. Very clean , spacious, and comfortable restaurant augmented with friendly service. The food tasted so nice. Bread was made fresh, just melted in the mouth. Strongly recommend this place. Great service read more

The food and service were perfect. The curry sauce was so flavorful. Naan was so fresh. I loved the Indian music in the background with a music video showing on the tv. read more

Excellent food. It was our first time here and we will definitely return. The staff are so nice. The music is cool too.

I just discovered this amazing little restaurant yesterday! It is right on route 46 in Austintown and it's been there for a year. It's inside of one of the hotels behind some of the other businesses on route 46 so it's difficult to see from the road. I recommend that anyone who enjoys authentic Indian cuisine go and check it out. I had a wonderful server named Jenny who was hospitable and eager to help me explore the menu. She is a gem! It is a modest size establishment; very clean with comfortable booths. Lovely floral arrangements on the tables. There is a bar as well. The menu is extensive and reasonably priced. Jenny brought over a crisp cracker bread and 3 different tasty condiments including a tangy sweet mango chutney. The Chhole Bhatura which is an appetizer could've been an entire meal! At least for me. Jenny recommended Butter Chicken which was tender and came with fragrant basmati rice. I also tried the delightful cheese naan. Huge portion. (I took half of everything I ordered home with me. ) I had a mango lassi which was one of the best ones I've had. You could taste different flavors and spices. For dessert there was a freshly made rice pudding /Kheer with a Gulab Jamun /dough ball on top. I observed that they had a busy takeout traffic also. If you like East Indian cuisine, give this place a visit. Say hi to Jenny for me! And enjoy a fabulous meal! read more

Outstanding food in this unlikely location - in the middle of what appears to be a food wasteland. Shrimp curry and garlic naan were exceptional. read more

What a gem. We eat a lot of Indian food in the US, including many trips to India. This was possibly the best. And inside a local hotel. lamb Korma is the bomb. Anthony Bourdain "Parts Unknown" would have loved this. Worth the trip. Bravo. read more

So happy to try this Indian Restaurant (inside/connected to Quality or Hampton inn) and love it because they use our local farmer's (Witing) chicken and goat! Never have seen the foreign restaurant's supporting our local farmer but it is a breath of fresh air. It was just me this first time so I ordered Goat Korma. Korma can be made without spice and this was actually my favorite because sometimes korma is heavy and this was nicely balanced. You can get it with any meat. There's cashews and a lovely taste that is not described as a curry. Delicious. They also had baigen bharta (like mild tomato and eggplant Indian bruschetta -type dish great on their soft fresh bread called naan). This place served me a salad with lettuce and cucumber to satisfy Americans but normally you don't have such a salad. (I am fantasizing they come up with an Indian "dressing" and make it like a fusion dish idea). The naan was perfect. I get the garlic naan and it is just the perfect amount of garlic. The starter on the table at first is like an English water cracker with an aromatic spice (coriander?) with three "sauces". The chunky one is not spicy (apricot/nutmeg), green is a creamy mint with a little heat, and the third one is for spicy food lovers. They had Indian drinks. I had a type of mango coconut one but they did have lassis (light milkshake good with spicy food) read more

Excellent food, clean restaurant,excellent service. New to Youngstown. I had Lamb Rogan Josh and my friend had Chicken Saag, both were delicious. We are from the east coast and used to fine restaurants and were dreading eating at Olive Garden every night. Such a treat to find this place...and kid friendly. Yes, they will adjust the menu for picky kids! I highly recommend. It's behind a Quality Inn and sort of a discrete entrance. read more

Let me state right out that Indian food has not been on my culinary radar because I had such a bad experience at an Indian restaurant that I swore it off for a long time. Overly spicy food is not my thing. However I saw the 5 star reviews on Yelp, looked at the menu and decided to give it a try - Glad I did! You can get your food mild, medium or spicy - we got mild and it was quite good. We had the Chicken Biryani and really liked it. There is a full bar in the restaurant so you can get pretty much anything to drink. There were very nice and helpful in ordering food and the owner came over to see how things were going. The other factor that impressed me is that most of the diners were Indian - always a good sign. There is a large TV screen and they were playing Indian music videos, which I thought was great for an Indian restaurant. I give it 5 stars because the food is very good and the ambiance is very Indian. And my wife had Indian ice cream which she liked very much! Give it a try! read more

Our first time at this restaurant, excellent authentic food. Service was friendly, atmosphere was bright and inviting. Would highly recommend! read more
