This family run business is top tier. The heat is not for the weak. So when they ask you what spice level don't try and show off. I'd start with a 3. The restaurant is small and simple but the staff is charming and makes you feel like you are a part of the family. The chickpea masala, chicken tikka, and butter chicken are staples in my rotation. This is NOT Americanized Indian food. Portions are huge and will leave you with food for at least one other meal. Pro Tip: order the mango ice cream read more

Went in for a to go order. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ambiance was great.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Service was great. My Saag Chicken was great. My wife said her "mild" entree was still too spicy... I don't know what to say.... Try it. I think you will like it. read more

I ordered butter chiken it tasted good however it gave me the worst food poisoning ive ever had. DO NOT EAT HERE !!!!

I have been here a few times for lunch during the work day and it's really great! The owner is very friendly and greets you when you walk in the door. Every time I've been there he always has a nice conversation my coworkers and I go in. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There is not much in the way of decor. One of my coworkers did mention it would be nice if they played music because it's pretty quiet in there.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Every time I've been I get the same thing - Chicken Tikka Masala - spice level 5/10 with garlic naan. The flavor and spice level are perfect. The chicken is always tender and delicious. Their flavors are very consistent and delicious. I love the garlic naan as well. They bring a large bowl of rice for the table but you can always ask for more. I love that we have multiple options for Indian food in Lakewood and I will continue to come here! read more

This was my first visit. The samosa were beautiful and light; delicate. Not a heavy dough. Excellent. The garlic Nan was perfect. The chutneys were delicious. I ordered the Chicken Curry, Spice Level 7 was perfect for me. This was my first visit and it will not be my last. Very good service, pleasant and accommodating.

Wonderful food and service. First time visiting. Great selection of entrees. Nice portion size. Amazing spices. Will return for sure.

Overall (4/10): [[HIGHLIGHT]]great service, nice music[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]], but generally lacking flavor, especially when factoring in cost of entrees being $17-$20. Mango Lassi (8/10): Great taste, fair quantity, and great consistency; could be a little colder Samosa Chaat (7/10): good balance of taste, chole was well cooked and well spiced; feel like the samosa could be crispier Paneer Tikka Masala (5/10): good spice, good consistency; lacking flavor Garlic Naan (4/10): too bready/ doughy, lacking flavor Chicken Naan (1/10): unseasoned chicken, did not finish read more

We love this family owned business! They are warm, welcoming, and helpful with their explanations of the variety of foods on the menu. Our meals were delicious, with generous portions. We went with some friends who had varying tastes in spiciness. We learned that this restaurant's "heat" scale goes from 1-10, with 10 being the spiciest. I went with a "1" and a friend went with "3". Everyone in our party of five thoroughly enjoyed his or her meal. One friend surprised us by saying how much he loves goat meat, and was happy to find it on the menu. One couple in our group took their teenaged daughter to Vintage India within the following week. She loved it, and took 2 other teenaged friends for lunch the following weekend! I think we have a new favorite on our radar! read more

That naaannnnnnnnn HIT THE SPOT. The food is so good so much deliciousness and spice. It packed a punch of flavor and I loved my aloo sag. The service was great and she was very helpful with questions I had about the menu. The vibes are family like and it's a small cute restaurant with a cozy ambience ! Definitely will be back the food was GOOD AS HECK. Spice level is rated as 1-10 and I liked that option! read more

3.5/5 stars I visited this new restaurant in Lakewood in November and December 2021. The inside design is very simple with chairs and no decor on the walls which is fine for a restaurant starting out. The light throughout is a bit dim so some brightness is needed. I chatted with the female owner when I visited in November and met her Uncle (or Dad?) who is the chef along with her brother and mother. The male chef has been cooking in the food business for over 10 years which is awesome. FOOD -- I ordered to-go (takeout) in late November 2021. I ordered the Chicken Biryani and Butter Naan. My order was ready in about 25 minutes. I then ordered takeout again on 31 December 2021 but this time I got Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan. The chicken biryani was good (and I got a BIG portion) but the Chicken Tikka Masala was okay. The chicken tikka masala just didn't taste as delicious as I've had at other restaurants. The chicken biryani had lots of flavour. The butter NAAN wasn't as fresh and soft as I would have wanted it to be and there wasn't much butter on it. Overall, instead of a takeout order, I'd love to come back to sit inside and try something different. I love supporting small business like this especially a family business. **** - 9/150 total reviews in 2022 - 487 total overall Yelp reviews - Reviewed on 5 March 2022 read more

DEFINITELY recommend Vintage India if you are looking for an authentic Indian dinner. They helped up decide what to eat and how spicy to choose. The place feels very homey and the waitress and waiter we had were both very kind! We got Samosas as an app (comes with 2), that were so good I forgot to take a pic! It came with 2 different dipping sauces that completed the dish! We got two different dinners, first, the Chicken Mango Curry with spice level 8 and it was just the right amount of sweet and spicy! And second the Chicken Saag with a spice level 6, which is always my favorite Indian dish! The saag was also delicious with the perfect amount of spice! We paired them with Garlic and Bullet Naan (which is Naan with chilis all over it - we like spicy if you couldn't tell)! Both dishes were very delicious and we even got a second meal out of it! Will deff be going back! read more

Delicious food! We ordered on Grubhub then came for pickup. Grubhub kept delaying the pick up time, but it turned out the food was ready when we went in. It's a small restaurant. But seems to be known by the locals as we saw a handful of people dining in and lots of pickup orders on the counter. We got chicken tikka masala, spice level 5; some sort of lamb Josh Rogan dish, spice level 8, and garlic naan. Really tasty and filling! For some reason, my chicken tikka masala tasted spicier than my friend's lamb. I'm guessing they forgot to add the spice or they switched the spice levels. My tikka was probably about a medium spice. Pretty good! There's quite a lot on their menu. I would definitely come back to try more! Parking around here is parallel. But Lakewood doesn't seem as overly busy as other neighborhoods in Cleveland, so we found parallel parking right in front. read more

Food and people are amazing. They do cater to your spice level. We eat Indian food all over town and this the BEST! [[HIGHLIGHT]]The decor could use some nice touches like maybe some wall decor, placemats, flowers or something but the food is THE BEST![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] And the people are so nice.

Truly enjoyed our meal and experience at Vintage India. We were greeted by friendly staff. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Nice lighting, large windows and many options on the menu.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Great service and I appreciated the option of 1-10 heat level.

LOVE this place! Great food, great service. I've never been disappointed and I've eaten at a lot of Indian restaurants!

Service is great people are nice. The dishes are slightly over salted or at least the Korma. A little less salt more cashew paste no graham masala. The meat usually tender but inconsistent with tenderness. Sometimes in the same dish. I love the people there I will continue to go hopefully some slight changes. Like above. And maybe less runny tamarind sauce Jag read more

I was very excited to see a new Indian restaurant in Lakewood. Absolutely amazing, the workers were very attentive and were able to give recommendations while understanding the menu. The food portions were very good, and the quality was fantastic. Spice level was right and very well explained as well. Recommend the shrimp korma, which is a coconut based curry. Their naan was fantastic as well. Definitely will be returning. read more

Vintage India - Indian Near Me - Lakewood, Ohio

My new favorite Indian place in Lakewood. I would go here everyday if I could. Very yummy menu

Compared to the other option in west Lakewood, (India Garden) Vintage India is a stand out with flavor and price! I wouldn't dine in as a personal choice but you can't go wrong with the take out, and they have some damn good samosas!!! read more

My husband and I have been on the hunt for great Indian food since moving from New Jersey where we were truly spoiled with the restaurants and quality of food. Vintage India could give any Indian restaurant on Inman Avenue (if you know, you know!) a run for its money. The service and ambiance were absolutely amazing too! So glad we found this gem! read more

This place is very disappointing. Ordered via DoorDash and we waited over an hour for our food just for the restaurant to say they could not fill the order and long story short WE NEVER GOT OUR FOOD. I don't know what kind of unprofessional garbage this place is but there is no excuse for someone to wait an hour and then not have the restaurant deliver what we ordered or contact us to offer an alternative at a discount. Would avoid this place like the plague. There are better places who treat customers with respect. read more

If you stopped going, go again! When we found this place it was Nirvana - great food, great service, reasonably priced. Then it got to where whatever we ordered, no matter how mild we ordered it, it was freakin' hot. So we stopped going. Went back today and they finally have mild, well...mild! It's a concept, I know. On a scale of 1-10, I like a 3-4, so I'm not a wimp, just want to taste the wonderful spices and not burn my mouth. Service was better when the owner's son was waiting tables, but he's busy with food prep now. Oh well!. Still worth a second look. OPEN ON THANKSGIVING, CHRISTMAS etc., but closed on Mondays. read more

Delicious food with lots of vegetarian (and some vegan) options! We got takeout which was ready quickly and packed efficiently. The staff were friendly on the phone and when picking up our food. We ordered aloo gobhi and baingan bharta, both of which were delicious. Definitely the best Indian food we've had in Lakewood! read more

Very tasty food. Kind service. A little expensive in my opinion but I got several meals out of the chicken curry and naan. Also got samosas for the first time which were amazingggg! read more

So terrific and highly recommend! This was our first time to visit Vintage India and I know for certain we will be back. As often as possible! The menu is extensive and it all looked wonderful. The first delight was the chia tea, then for apps we had the sampler platter and it was so fresh, hot and delicious! The tomato soup was spectacular also. I had the Butter Chicken and it was amazing and spiced to the perfect level. Others at our table had goat, and also Chicken Tikka Masala. Every single thing was so delicious, including the garlic naan! To top it off, the staff was lovely. Definitely recommend Vintage India! Can't wait to go back and sample more! read more

Had our Easter dinner here it was WONDERFUL. had our Easter dinner here it was wonderful. The owners and staff were so welcoming they made the day a very special event. The food was absolutely DELICIOUS. Best Indian restaurant in Lakewood. And the finishing touch was the wonderful coffee. It was so good we got a cup to go. We have been back several times since. read more

Don't judge Vintage India by its rather sparse, utilitarian decor-- this is some top-notch, flavorful Indian cuisine. Menu is extensive and portions are perhaps a little smaller than you'd expect, but the food is excellent and the service relaxed and kind. Definitely a place to try again. read more

my partner and I eat a lot of Indian food and we feel that this is one of the better and more authentic tasting Indian places in Cleveland. We ordered the dum aloo and palak paneer and really enjoyed the fresh tasting ingredients. The only advice that I will give someone who is considering eating here is be careful how spicy you order your food. we generally order our food with a 8-10/10 spice level. The first time we ordered our food here we opted for eight out of 10 spice level but that was far too spicy for us. I would highly recommend starting with a three or four out of 10 spice level and then working up from there. If you feel like you would like it more spicy. Aside from that the food was absolutely fantastic, and the family only uses fresh ingredients to make their food. read more

I was thrilled to see another Indian restaurant in Lakewood. We ordered takeout vegetarian entrees. They were excellent. Nice, friendly staff. The cost was reasonable, and it was ready in under 25 minutes. Our only criticism has to do with the concentration of super hot spices in the middle of my husband's dish. He likes things as hot as they can make them, and for the first several bites he said it wasn't hot enough. He then uncovered a patch of spice. I know chefs have to be careful that these spices don't get mixed in too early because the vapors can cause coughing fits if they get into the air vents, but this could have been really bad if he didn't mix up his food. However, that was minor and won't keep us from returning! read more

Ordered takeout twice and at in the restaurant once. The to-go orders are packed nicely. The inside of the restaurant is bright and tidy. Now for the food...Excellent. The sauces are smooth and have complex flavors. The spice level is consistent. A spice level 3 is less heat than a 5. The naan was light and fluffy. The samosas were huge, nicely spiced, and cooked perfectly. The staff are attentive - and the pitcher of water at the table is appreciated. Try the butter chicken and the baingan bharta. Best Indian food in Lakewood. read more

Tried this restaurant for the first time last night for carry out. My order was ready when I arrived at this quiet and comfortable shop. I must have misread the prices online because I was shocked that an order of the chef's special chicken curry was $21.99 (with rice) and garlic naan was $6.99. I will say the food was very good and was enough for two people. The menu itself was full of tempting choices, veg and non veg. But the prices are out of line with their nearby competition. Chicken curry there is $17.95 and garlic naan is $3.95, for instance. That's $7 less for the same meal. Bottom line: The food was very good, but overpriced. I wish them well. read more

The food is excellent!!! My husband and I love Indian food and are a bit picky, but our meals at Vintage did not disappoint. The portions are smaller than at some places, but IMO, just right. You won't leave hungry but might not need a to-go box. They got our spice levels just right. Great service too! This is our new place for sure. read more

If you enjoy Indian food. Definitely give this place a try. Got some samosas and chicken Tikka masala, and it all was just wonderful. Wonderfully seasoned and just absolutely delicious. I would just warn you if you are somewhat hesitant to spiciness to keep it to the lower numbers as I got mine at a 4 (out of ten), and it was still getting close to hitting my limit for spiciness. But I say that warning as a compliment, since in the end you should know what you're getting into when you get good Indian food. Easily go back. read more
