I can't recommend Jhoomar Indian Cuisine enough, their food is incredible. The ambiance is also so very nice- similar to other reviews, definitely has a fine dining/banquet feel! But definitely come as you are. The interior was gorgeous, I wish I took photos but wanted to be respectful of others who were dining and eating! It did take us a bit of time to wait for our food, but the fresh and delicious food definitely is worth the wait- more on the $$ side. Food = divine. This is coming from a Houston girl who's surrounded by incredible Indian/South Asian cuisine. You're given the option of a 1-5 spice level for most of their dishes- we went with 3 and it was perfect! Enough heat to still be able to enjoy the great flavors, and enough heat to give us a bit of a kick- definitely a comfortable spice level (but my boyfriend and I have a pretty good spice tolerance). Loved their mango lassi- a mango + yogurt drink- I can't ever pass up an opportunity to get a mango lassi. Their garlic naan was thin, buttery/garlicky, and absolutely divine. Definitely can't get better than eating fresh naan, they definitely came out fresh and piping hot, and very soft/strechy, you have to get the garlic naan- one serving is 5 pieces. Their chicken tikka masala was so delicious- I know, it's a more common dish to get. It was so incredibly creamy and nutty, definitely one of the better chicken tikka masala's I've had. If you're new to Indian/South Asian cuisine, definitely a must! Kind of like a butter chicken if you're slowly branching out. I'm a lover of paneer, their Saag Paneer was pretty good- paneer itself felt a bit flat but it was still delicious. Their lamb shank was pretty good- it was a bit more on the dry end, still moist, but a bit dry. Typically like a lamb shank that falls off the bone, but the flavors were still there, and loved the sauce and definitely loved the spinach that it came with. Chicken samosa's were okay! Mostly filled with welll/seasoned shredded chicken, nothing super special but it was still delish- will likely try to veg samosa's next time. It was super crispy! Service was overall pretty good- a bit slow in getting our food out, longer than an average wait I feel, but I noticed that there was also a large gathering around when we went so it likely took some time but no biggie. Our waitress was nice! Staff all seemed very friendly. Food came out all piping hot and fresh so definitely no complaints. Will absolutely be back! read more

Amazing food. Decent prices. Seriously some of the best Americany Indian food I have ever had. The cauliflower is ridiculous.

This place is amazing. We were in town visiting and came for lunch. We were the only people here surprisingly because, wow. The service from Alexis was excellent. The food took a minute but it's all made to order fresh and delicious. My husband got the tikka masala and I got the coconut curry with butter naan and beet salad that comes with the lunch. Everything was top tier for flavor. We have eaten at a lot of Indian places all over and this place is the in the top five. read more

First, the good. I did an online order, and the staff were all so friendly as I waited and apologetic when it took longer than expected. Its a beautiful restaurant, and had really lovely music playing. Now, the not so good. I am pretty disappointed in our meals tonight. We all got butter chicken. It appears they use thigh meat and not breast, so it was pretty fatty. It wasn't as flavorful as I have come to expect butter chicken to be. The naan was really under done. It wasn't busy inside but I think there were quite a few to-go orders like mine. I'd be willing to try it again, maybe eating inside to see if the quality is better, plus there are some interesting things on the menu that I'd like to try. read more

Jhoomar Indian Cuisine - Rosemary naan - Bars Near Me - Columbus, Georgia

Absolutely amazing food. I live in Los Angeles and am visit my in-laws in Columbus. I eat Indian food 3-4 times a month at home and have eaten Indian food in London on a number of occasions. Since my mother in law loves to eat Indian food with me when she visits L.A., my wife suggested that I take her to eat somewhere in Columbus and walk her through the menu. While I was fairly skeptical, the food was extremely good. Not just extremely good for Columbus, but really good Indian food compared to all Indian food I have eaten (including London which has some of the best in the world outside of India). For appetizers we had the cauliflower, samosa and fried okra. All were good with the chutneys served with the samosa being very good. For mains, We ordered lamb biryani, chicken tikka masala, paalak paneer and cheese haryali kofta (but with korma sauce). All were outstanding. The lamb was very tender in the biryani and the tikka masala sauce and korma sauce were both great (one of the better kormas I have had). The naan was also good, though I do like my naan a little thicker and fluffier. I can't recommend this restaurant enough. read more

Incredible Food. Will be back soon. Cauliflower appetizer was fantastic, Samosa was pretty good, Cheese Haryali Kofta was the best part (amazing sauce, great vegetarian kofta), and naan was good too. Must go. read more

Best Indian food in Columbus. Service is that of a much more expensive restaurant. Ambience is shockingly nice for such an unassuming exterior. Could probably improve the naan. Don't come here, I want it all to myself. read more

It's more like a 3 1/2 rounded up to four. The space is beautiful and inviting. Our server was great and answered any questions we had about the menu. The areas that are lacking are: too expensive for what you get and the kitchen was slow. My group of 5 came in a Saturday for lunch. I was taken aback that they didn't have a lunch menu so it was more than I planned to spend for lunch. Most of the entrees were $20 and up. We ordered pretty quickly and didn't get our mains for another 35 mins or so, our small plates came out sooner. Overall, I enjoyed everything I ate. Check the pics below plus I tasted the cauliflower and garlic naan. I also enjoyed the chutneys with the (I thinks it's called papadum) at the beginning of the meal. They need thicker straws for the mango lassi. This is more upscale Indian dining, I usually stick to the more casual places but I may come here again if I'm in the area at dinner time. read more

Excellent food and wonderful cocktails--truly better than any Indian restaurant in the Atlanta area. The place is spotless, the service is top-notch, and the décor is incredibly chic. A standout dining experience all around! If we ever visit Columbus again, which might be more often due to the tennis tournaments, this will be our dinner spot without any doubt. read more

I have been wanting to try this place so I took myself for a birthday lunch. They have a lunch menu and I ordered from the pick your own sauce and protein section of the menu. I had saag paneer mild spice level. It was good and a good value for the price. It comes with naan, rice and soup/salad. The restaurant itself was very nice looking. The service however was a bit lacking. There was only one server for the tables who was also at the host stand and doing take out orders. There did appear to be a bartender at the bar but he was on his phone most of the time. There was one other what appeared to be server who seemed to just have one table but I later overheard him tell that table he was one of the 2 owners. He stood talking to that one table the entire time I was there and did not speak to any other table which might be understandable if they were regulars or old friends but as I could hear their entire conversation, they were just passing through town and happened to stop in. My waiter did a decent job was pulled in to many directions because as soon as he would try to clear a table either someone would walk in or the phone would ring or one of the tables needed something. The table beside me ended up walking up to the bar to ask for a drink menu because there was neither an alcohol menu or regular drink menu given to any of the tables which I find odd for a restaurant that does so much advertising around the bar. Overall it was not the first impression I was expecting given what I heard about this restaurant from others. read more

First, this restaurant is beautiful - the wallpaper, the tables, the plates. But most important, the food is delicious. I had Chicken Tikka, and it was a large bowl of generous chicken chunks in a tasty, spicy sauce. You can choose your spice level (1 to 5); I chose 3 and it definitely had me drinking water between bites, but I love spice so it was fine. My son, unfortunately, order a dish that had 2 at its lowest level, and he (who is not a spice lover), couldn't eat it at all. He was allowed to order another entree at the zero spice level, which he liked very much. The appetizers, samosas and shrimp, were good, and dessert (dubai chocolate brownie with pistachio ice cream) was delicious. Top it off with excellent service, and it was a great night. read more

Best Indian restaurant in Columbus. Rich flavors, appropriate portions (most times) and welcoming service. Your best bet if you are looking for Indian food in ColGA. read more

I got take out and did not dine in, so maybe that's why the food quality was so poor. The food did not taste fresh and tasted like it had been prepared earlier in the day. The chicken in the chicken tikka masala was mushy. Not tender, mushy. Tikka masala sauce was decent. The crispy okra was not crispy. It was all soggy and chewy. No way it had been just made before I picked it up. The naan bread was undercooked and chewy. Mango lassi was good. read more

P E R F E C T I O N !!! I don't have a single complaint (except no liquor license which the owner says they will have in a few days). Please go eat here! You will not be disappointed!!! read more

Just had the most delicious Indian food in my life!!! The chicken tikka masala was perfect- the chicken was so tender and the sauce was the perfect combination of creamy, tomatoey, and spices. We also got the samosas and a cauliflower appetizer. And the garlic naan was perfect. 10/10!!!!! read more

Pretty much an immediate 5 stars from us. Food was great, atmosphere was great, and service was also great. Servers were quite knowledgeable and willing to communicate if you ask (so don't be afraid to ask questions if you're not sure about something on the menu). The food is made to order and all in house (also impressive and delicious). Since we came during their lunch hour and on a weekday (despite it being Valentine's Day) it was not crowded at all! Worth checking out at least once to try! Support your local small business and try something new Hoping to be back soon but until then loved the experience and had a great first impression. Thank you Dishoom Bistro! read more

You walk through the door to this beautiful setting. Soothing Indian music. Lovely! We sat at a nice booth. Attention to detail, nothing is shabby. China plates, linen napkins, colored glass water glasses. We have eaten here before. The food will not disappoint. The service was outstanding. Everyone is friendly. We live in Lagrange, Georgia, a short distance away. I've eaten Indian food all over the world, what a treat this is in our backyard! read more

From service to food, everything is fantastic at Dishoom! Great atmosphere and without a doubt top 3 places to eat in Columbus.

Amazing service and good food. The dosa had lots of flavor and was very authentic! It was very beautiful inside for a nice dinner.

I was traveling and looking for something different. This fit the bill. I had the lamb shank and it was some of the best lamb I've ever had. The spices were just right, warm and mellow with a deep flavor. Services was great, very attentive and prompt. They had obviously just opened but they were very accommodating. read more

As an Indian, dining out for indian can always be tricky as my expectations are higher than for other cuisines. This restaurant has great service, food, and ambiance. The mild spice level is plenty and we were surprised it was so good at such a mild level. Definitely coming back. read more

Had a great time. When we went they did not have their alcohol license yet. Great vegan dishes. I will say we did not love the sauces / dip that came out with the crackers. Lacking flavor. Very attentive staff. Price was reasonable. The ambiance was nice. Great lighting. Provides a great date night atmosphere. Will come back read more

So good. I went for the first time and was hesitant bc I'm not really familiar with Indian food. It was delicious. They gave great service and suggestions.

So, I had a weird experience but don't want to take that out on the restaurant, who I don't think is entirely to blame. Long story short: someone affiliated with the restaurant was using the only van accessible spot as a general purpose "VIP" parking area, and when a friend who needed the spot asked about it, it was brushed off and suggested that it was okay for them to park there without an offer to move. We eventually got into the restaurant, with some additional positioning, but my friend was still fuming and refused to order. To keep the peace, I offered to leave and just pay for my drink. But when we went to leave the FOH staff freaked out, fetched the owner, who apologized profusely and talked us back to our seats. The food was good, as was the presentation -- you definitely get some "wow" factor when something is put in front of you. Besides the initial awkwardness, we got the sense that they were afraid of a negative review and checked in with us seemingly every 90 seconds. This wasn't entirely a bad thing, but it lent a sort of anxious energy to the evening, and we never totally relaxed. I still give this place 5 stars, not because it was a 5 star experience, but because the food and presentation are valuable and I want local places capable of this originality and quality. read more
