We had the goat curry and chicken tiki masala. Absolutely delicious. The hot chia was not too sweat and accompanied the meal nicely. The medium spiced curry was pretty spicy, so if you can't take the heat, order mild. The restaurant was nice and clean. There is a lunch menu with special items on it. I will say, the only cinch in the armor was the service was a little slow to take our order due to only having one person taking orders. With that being said, a second man kept our water glasses full and cheerfully brought our food. We were well taken care of. If you are looking for some international fare at the LOZ, stop by Nawab's and enjoy!

Be aware that you have to drive by the truck stop and this place is right before the Days Inn. They have a metal awning over several tables with astroturf over the ground. Food is cooked to order so don't expect it to be super fast. We ordered chicken korma and chicken tiki masala. Both were very good although I liked korma more. A little spicy for us but they can make it spicier if desired. They gave us extra rice to go for our leftovers which was really nice. They do not have restrooms so plan accordingly. :-)

I don't know what are the sauces provided with the samosas, but it happened to be the highlight for my meal. It did take a while for my order to arrive, but it came in hot and fresh. They provided a lot of butter chicken curry, even if it's half of it, so there's more leftovers for me in a day or two. I might come by here for the samosas and maybe some new food to try! If anyone knows the 2 sauces, please let me know!! (I love the red sauce compared to the green one)

We arrived shortly after they opened for the dinner hour. The options picked at our table were tikka masala chicken, butter chicken, chicken madras, and goat curry. With garlic naan of course. The spice level options are: mild, medium, spicy, Indian spicy. Two dishes were mild, one was medium, and one was spicy. One individual stated, "if this was spicy they did not want to know what Indian spicy was like". The flavors make a party in your mouth. Our food came out steaming from the stove, fresh, and portions large enough to share with four people and still have leftovers. Family owned business. Has an Indian TV station playing with singing. Great friendly staff. Stop in to eat or order take out, you will not be disappointed.

Tip: Very close to B&B theatres if you want to combine your movie and dining out together.

I've always enjoyed the Ani's lunch combo, but I decided to try their dinner options this time. I…read moreordered the papidi chaat as an appetizer. It's a combination of chickpeas, papidi (fried crackers), and mint chutney that tastes refreshing. The chicken 65 didn't taste that fresh and perhaps was leftover from lunch... and unlike the lunch combo, you don't get rice or naan when you order the dinner entree, and this completely changed how it tasted (the rice/naan is essential in my opinion). So make sure to also buy rice or naan if you get the chicken 65; otherwise, it'll taste way too salty. The raita isn't as good as it used to be - it's much thicker now with consistency of actual yogurt and has less of that mint/cucumber flavor. The mango lassi is still excellent and cools down the spice from the other dishes. Overall, I still prefer the taste and value of the lunch combo over what I ordered for dinner this time.

I met my friend there on the Thursday night before Independence Day at 6 pm and there were only about 5 other people there. I consider this a major factor in the quality of experience. The fried cauliflower appetizer was wonderfully prepared and tasty. I got the red chicken curry and I thought it was only ok. Our table was hounded by some persistent house flies the entire meal. Pretty bothersome considering we were indoors and there weren't many people there. Understandably, there was no draft beer being offered. There was a good selection of bottles. Service was good and friendly. The curry was a disappointment, but there are a lot of other options that I think would be worth trying. I'm hoping Red Chili can survive the construction. I encourage people to try to support it.
