Alas, New Shaan no longer offers a buffet, but they do have lunch specials on the weekends.

I would give it 6 stars if I could! We had the dinner for two. It was definitely enough food for two people and at $45 it was a great price. We got some pakora appetizer as well as garlic naan that comes with the dinner for two. You get to choose two of your entrees. So delicious! I just can't reiterate just how good it was. Service was very friendly with a smile and you could tell she was very glad to have us there. Ambiance is simple but clean nonetheless. Definitely excited to return! read more

New Shaan Indian Cuisine - Pakoora appetizer with sauces - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

My husband and I went here for a late lunch buffet on a Saturday and it was delicious. The service was attentive and the buffet was freshly-stocked. We tried each of the options on the buffet and they all were amazing! The naan, chicken tikka masala, saag mushroom and pakora were among the great options. The restaurant itself was small but very clean and welcoming. We will make it a point to come back soon! read more

The food is always delicious and everyone who works here is so nice. Trying to decide what to order is a challenge. We end up with more than we can possibly eat but the leftovers are a wonderful treat to find in the refrigerator. read more

Love the spinach paneer here! This is our take-out spot near us. I really feel this is the best rich Indian curry to be found in Cincy. My husband likes their chicken tikka masala. My only request is that they stop putting the green food dye in the chutney. read more

Always the best! Love the excellent service, quality of food, and convenient location! read more

Charged $20 for their 13.99 lunch buffet. Shady business practices as other reviewers have noted. Food is mid. See full review on google.

We enjoyed a great Indian meal at New Shaan. It has a bustling carry out business but we ate in. The food was very good. We started with Chicken Pakora, which was served piping hot from the kitchen. Delicious! For entrees we had Chicken Tikka Masala and Lamb Curry, along with garlic nan and rice. It was all excellent - the meats were tender, the sauces mild (as we ordered) and so good. The 3 of us enjoyed, even hubby for whom this was a first-time-having-Indian food experience. Ambiance is minimal - it's a nice clean strip mall restaurant, and the employees are very nice. Our dinner was not quick, but we took that as a sign that everything was freshly made to order (not precooked and reheated). We ordered "mild" on everything but I think I would up that a notch next time. Definitely try it out! read more

New Shaan Indian Cuisine - Chicken till Chicken Tikka Masala, Lamb Curry, garlic nan, rice - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Very average, conservatively spiced Indian food. Buffet was extremely limited for the relatively high price. Far better options for Indian food in the Cinci area. Only go if there's no other option. read more

This is my experience with New Shaan and DoorDash so not in restaurant service. Just their customer service for online delivery orders since the add ons are all handled by merchants not DoorDash. At any Indian restaurant I can get a side of onions with masala (very common Indian way of eating this with your food) for free and I added a note and was charged $3 extra. The meal itself was $14.50 and you're charging 20% of that for a side of sliced onions? That is absurd when an entire bag of onions costs $3. I would not order from here again for DoorDash. I get Indian food delivered all the time from Taj Indian and never get charged and they give a HUGE amount and include jalapeño peppers too. They are just taking advantage of delivery orders. The food is good though that different than many others Indian spots in the area so I will continue to get my food from unusual spot when DoorDashing so I am not unexpectedly charged extra. read more

Not just amazing Indian food. It is shockingly consistent. I have eaten here easily 50 times and each time it's great. I will say that sometimes the spice level can be a little bit off, but nothing too wild. read more

This is an addendum to my original review. As I sat waiting for my food tonight, I checked Yelp to see how Kellie was doing, and I noticed that not only had her review been put in the "Not Recommended" pile, but it had been removed from the site altogether for violating Yelp's Terms and Conditions policy. Honestly never seen that before. Way to go! I'm the words of the great Clark Griswald, "Yay, though the Hindus speak of Karma..." read more

New Shaan Indian Cuisine - Elephant art - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

We ordered Take-Out. The food was delicious. We had Lamb Curry and Chicken Tikki Masala (Both mild just like we ordered). The flavors were just right. Coming from NJ, where we get excellent Indian food, we were happy to listen to my daughter's recommendation. Service is quick and efficient. Definitely our place to come to in Cincinnati. Place looked clean - important factor for ambiance always. read more

Chicken tikka masala is the dish I enjoy there. The service is amazing and friendly. A small little shop but memorable people.

I miss going to this place a lot! Family business They truly care about their costumers (they are incredibly kind to kids). Every visit food is delicious! What else can you ask for? read more

The best Indian food in Cincinnati by a wide margin! However, perfection does take time. I wouldn't recommend going there is you were in a time crunch. However, the wait is always worth it! I drive past 4 other Indian restaurants to get to New Shaan! read more

Our favorite place to eat! The food is always 10/10, service is amazing. The Saag Paneer and Chili Chicken are so good.

I had to try the restaurant because of all the positive reviews. Now I understand. The food is exemplary: authentic Indian food achieved by using fresh ingredients and a complex combination of spices, with no shortcuts. The chicken curry was fresh and delicious. The poori was authentic -- you could tell it was made in house -- and the mango lassi was excellent. The person at the counter was very welcoming, friendly, and helpful. I was considering it for a venue for a once-a-month dining group I organize, but unfortunately the restaurant was too small to accommodate it, and didn't have public restrooms. But I'll come back for carryout for myself, and maybe occasionally for their lunchtime buffets. This is a real gem!! read more

Great food, super friendly owners! I get take out here every few weeks and it's always hot and fresh. I love their lamb curry. A hidden gem on Red Bank. read more

With the lack of Indian buffets in the area, this is my go to place for Indian food near Cincinnati. Prices are reasonable and their chicken tikka masala is to die for. My go to order is always chicken tikka masala with an order of the garlic nan. I go so often that the owner recognizes me and ask if I want the same order. 10/10 Cleanliness 10/10 Service 10/10 Flavor 10/10 Prices read more

Randomly stumbled upon this place & i'm happy i did. Have only tried the buffet so far, but everything from there was pretty good. This particular day was saag choley, punjabi curry, chicken curry, chicken tikka masala & shrimp vindaloo. Everything was pretty cool, only thing for me is if i ordered them separately, I would go up on the spice level. Aside from that, the customer service was good. Not too much of an ambiance, but it's okay since i'm there to eat & go on about my day. Would definitely try again when I'm in that part of town read more

This place is clean and the food is delicious! My coworkers and I enjoy their lunch buffet.

Food was pretty good and they took the time to explain the menu. Not much to the interior but food is good.

Wonderful Indian buffet. It is small so fewer selections but a wonderful way to try the new dishes!

I stopped in for the lunch buffet, and it was really bad. Virtually no seasoning to any of the food. Is the chef familiar with Indian cuisine, and the proper techniques for preparing it? Also, the lunch buffet was out of half the food, and there were waffle fries() on the buffet. I don't know what Cincinatti considers Indian food, but this isn't it. read more

Fantastic food & service. I personally recommend the Chicken Tikki, although you can't go wrong with the lunch buffet.

They have a lunch buffet now!! Gonna be there now a few times a week! So glad they are doing well and have great food!

Very good Indian buffet. Currently the best in the tristate area. The food is a little spicy but the flavor is superb.

Fresh and amazing food! They have a buffet also and it's great! Was so glad to finally have a great Indian buffet again!

Some of the best Indian food in the area. Everything is delicious. Can't go wrong. Heat scale of 1-6. If you like it spicy, go for a 5 1/2-6. They have a great buffet deal as well. (Inquire for exact details) Service is amazing. read more

My wife and I decided to try this new restaurant on a whim. We were pleasantly surprised. It wasn't very busy when we stopped in. We were greeted warmly and shown to a table. The menu was pretty typical of most Indian restaurants. We decided to get the dinner for two which was a great deal. The food was really good and the service was really pleasant. I'm sure we'll be back read more

I have long enjoyed the Hyde Park location owned by the same family, so I am very pleased to have another location to visit for my favorite Indian foods. Dining in the restaurant is an option here, while the original location remains carryout only, due to pandemic concerns. No alcohol is served, but they have glassware if you bring beer or wine. Lunch specials are just $7.99. read more

See all

Love this place! I have been all over the country and this Indian food compares to any major city.

Great service and great food. Everything we had was delicious. Probably the best Indian food in Cincinnati. Certainly better than anything I've had in Kentucky. The garlic nan and rice were equally tasty as the main dishes. Lunch was a real bargain at $7.99 for all the meals. read more

Great food, friendly, welcoming place. Been multiple times and never had a bad meal or any issues. It's our go to place for delicious Indian food. read more

Great food and great service with recommendations for a first timer. They really took their time laying out the menu

Had take out... first time at this location... chicken tikka masala was outstanding... very creamy flavorful with tender chicken... naan was very flavorful with a coating of fresh garlic. Quick efficient service and great food. read more

Can I give 10 stars? 20? 100? This is hands down my favorite restaurant I've ever been to. I used to eat here regularly before moving a little far out. Still stop by when I can. read more

First time trying this since my boyfriend introduced me to Indian food. They have lunch specials on chicken and lamb for $7.99. They are very friendly also. Prices are reasonable and their chicken tikka masala is to die for. When I ordered, I should have the spice level at 1 or most 3. But I did a 5 and it was spicy but I ate it anyway. I'm a bariatric patient so this will last me about two days if not more. Love the naan! I will be back soon. read more
