What I love about this place is the attention to detail that lets you know they really care about their customers. ​Not only is the to-go bag stapled in multiple places for security, but it's actually cool looking and sturdy enough to keep and reuse. ​This time around, I opted for the Chicken Butter Masala (a nod to the UK's favorite flavor profile). It was an absolute explosion of spice and flavor, and the basmati rice was some of the best I've had in a very long time. ​Since I DoorDashed, I had time to fix up some nice accompaniments--homemade roasted garlic naan (thanks, air fryer!), a medley of mint and cilantro, and one of my signature charred shishitos. Whether it's dine-in or to-go, this local trip to South Asia was spot on, scrummy and brilliant as the British might say! read more

Aahaa Modern Indian Cuisine - Butter Masala with Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

My friends and I went for happy hour and split a bunch of items. They were all so, so good!! I especially loved the samosas, chicken 65, and chili paneer. Everything was flavorful and filling! We left with a bunch of leftovers that were just as tasty the next day. read more

We were ready for a great evening and left largely satisfied. Best plate of the night? LAMB VINDALOO!! (Tangy, fiery, and bold. Tender lamb cooked in a vinegar-based chili masola with dutch potatoes). Of course, the Butter Chicken and Basmati Rice were delicious as well. Unfortunately, our naan was overcooked, drinks were not refilled until we repeatedly asked, one of our six meals came out 35 minutes after the others, and the bathroom was not stocked for use. :( With a few areas of improved service, our evening at Aahaa would have been flawless! Nonetheless, we appreciate their creative menu and loved the flavors!! (We said we were celebrating a birthday, but nothing came of it in case you were looking for that.) read more

I had eaten here with a friend a couple of years ago and although I somewhat liked it, they didn't mark the sauces as too hot, medium or mild, so I was not really happy about that. I came back with the same friend and the place was completely different. Gone was the buffet(my waistline thanks you) and I was blown away with the new set up. Very hip, mid century modern, definitely good for a date. Nothing like an Indian restaurant that actually has ambience! The servers were both very good and they explained everything nicely.The portions are large, even at lunchtime, so don't over order like we did, although I love a little takeout for the next day. The prices are nice, the service is great, and the food is excellent! Convenient parking and a great location make this a must do. read more

Yesterday I ordered takeout from Firebirds Wood Fired Grill ($34.37), and today I tried Aahaa Modern Indian Cuisine ($32.32)--both including tip. There is honestly no comparison when it comes to the quality and quantity of what I received today versus yesterday. Aahaa is EXCELLENT! You have to try it. I noticed their Wednesday special and decided to give it a shot. It was so healthy, fresh, and exquisitely delicious. Highest of high recommendations! read more

I'm gonna start off with the million dollar annoying a$$ influencer question... "dO yoU kNoW wHaT A dOsA iS???" If I hear that one more time... smh. Also y'all saying that don't even explain what it is or mention that it has a filling.. that annoys me. Like don't just swing around a long bread looking thing and not explain what it is. It's just so gimmicky. Anyway I'll hop off my soap box. The food was good! And no I didn't get the freaking dosa (I will next time). It was really good! I'd say though that it wasn't any better than some other places--but still all around amazing (I can use the dash thing and it's not AI guys lol) I didn't try anything I didn't like. Also they definitely bring the spice! My sister ate like 3 baskets of the garlic naan. My partner got the Lamb Shank Mandi and the rice had incredible flavors that personally I don't think I've ever tasted before. The lamb was fall off the bone tender. Soooo yummy. The inside was very clean and modern. I wish it wasn't as bright inside but that's my personal opinion. Especially when the food is a little pricier I want a nice warm glow lol. We'll be back. They have a very nice patio I'm looking forward to in the spring!!! read more

The service was AMAZING!! Our server was so girly pop and funny and overall had the best vibe. The chicken lollipops were not my fave just because they were extra saucy and a little too ketchup like (not bad but not my particular preference). The butter chicken and garlic naan though... phenomenal read more

Very disappointing experience. I am a vegetarian, and they served chicken in my paneer dish. This is completely unacceptable and shows a serious lack of attention to customers' dietary preferences. What made the situation even worse was the way it was handled. There was no proper apology or concern from the staff. We were charged for food that was never delivered, and despite bringing the issues to their attention, nothing was resolved. Several items listed at the bottom of the receipt were never brought to our table, yet we were still charged. We ended up paying around $270 and left in the middle of the meal because the experience was so frustrating. Poor service, inaccurate billing, and a complete lack of professionalism. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone, especially vegetarians. read more

Aahaa delivers big on flavor! Everything was delicious, fresh, and cooked to perfection. Absolutely recommend checking them out.

TL;DR: If you're looking for a spot that looks, tastes, and costs like a restaurant that describes itself as "modern Indian", this is the one for you. The flavors are fine (nothing mind-blowing), the portions are small, and the ambiance is nice. If you care more about flavor and cost than presentation, my favorite everyday southern Indian food in the KC metro is at Chettinad's at 151st and Metcalf. If you're looking for truly interesting, new American -style fusion with an Indian bent (the real "modern Indian"), check out Of Course Kitchen that's also really close by at 159th. read more

The decor and ambiance here really impressed me. Very modern and stylish, a great fit for an upscale Indian spot. The menu had a good range of options, though I do wish there were more small plates or shareable items. I like trying a variety of dishes, and the portions here are big, so it's harder to sample without committing to a full entrée. Food itself was decent. Nothing mind-blowing, but solid. The highlight of the meal was actually the berry mojito, which was refreshing and well balanced. Service was friendly, though the food took longer to come out than I'd expect given how quiet the restaurant was at the time. All in all, I'd come back if I was craving Indian with a modern vibe, but I'd probably bring a group next time so we could try more dishes. read more

I've been to this location many times before under its previous ownership and name, but this is an entirely new experience--with a fresh identity, modern decor, and a thoughtfully reimagined menu. The ambiance is upscale and stylish, with a sleek, contemporary interior and an inviting bar. There's also plenty of parking, which is always a plus. What really stood out to me was how the menu sets itself apart from other Indian restaurants in the area. It's been simplified in a way that makes it easy to navigate without sacrificing variety or creativity. Here's what we ordered: Amritsari fish, mango chicken, and lamb Rogan Josh--all of which were absolutely outstanding. Each dish was flavorful, well-balanced, and beautifully complemented by the basmati rice. They even brought us a complimentary chikoo shake, which was a fun and delicious surprise! The staff was attentive, friendly, and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our meal. This place deserves lots of love--if you're in the area, definitely bring your friends and family. And here's a great reason to return: I heard they'll be refreshing the menu soon. I can't wait to come back and try what's next! read more

My first visit to Aahaa was for a Yelp Elite Experience. I and my party enjoyed dining here. I and my wife had planned to return to try other menu items. On this visit, our experience was much the same as the first. The food was delicious though not as spicy as other restaurants serving the same items. Service, while friendly, was a bit tentative. One of the staff filled my wife's water without being asked, while our server, when asked, took a bit of time to get back to us. Another of the staff wanted to refill my water from her pitcher. I had to point out twice that I was drinking S. Pellegrino not tap water Other than that everything was great. Good food, nice atmosphere. Enjoyable. read more

Grabbed lunch to go for my office while visiting for work and it was amazing! Butter chicken, garlic naan, Mali Kofta, and of course, a mango lassie! Everything was so tasty and flavorful and perfect I knew the second I stepped out of the car and smelled the beautiful grilled spices in the air. This was going to be a fantastic lunch. Well, we didn't stay and have lunch. It was just takeout. I will be back because the restaurant was cute and everybody looked like they were having a wonderful time we were greeted in and out. They gave us plenty of utensils and napkins as well, and everything was packaged very well. read more

Aahaa Modern Indian Cuisine - Lunch - Indian Near Me - Overland Park, Kansas

Had the chance to grab a fantastic meal in one of Kansas City's newest Indian restaurants. (actually located in OPKS) As their website says it is a modern dining experience in a pretty open floor plan of booths and outdoor seating. The ambiance and the aroma are an introduction to the type of service and meal to prepare for. The music could be more complimentary to Indian heritage. After being seated and possibly ordering, you'll first enjoy a complimentary chikoo shake. It was creamy and delicious. From the menu of an array of dishes, we ordered: Masala Crab Cakes (mild spice level), Chicken tikka masala (medium spice level) and Lamb vindaloo (mild spice level), garlic naan & butter naan (each order 4 nice slices), 2 coconut rose coolers and Chai Spiced cheesecake. If you're new to the level of heat Indian food can have I'd definitely recommend mild spice level. While we waited for our food which wasn't long we were offered water 3 different times: tap, sparkling or bottled. I took it as a sign 3rd time around. The crab cakes had good flavor, however there's a chalky aftertaste. The aoili provided was good atop of it though. Both main entrees were spiced and seasoned with Indian culinary flavor. The rice and meat were perfectly cooked so it really does just melt in your mouth! I'm not a fan of coconut but I love rose water and the combination is so refreshing. The presentation with petals in the drink and coconut shavings around the rim, it was almost too pretty to drink. Overall our the service and food were above par. Our waitress Sathvika was attentive, helpful and friendly. If I had questions about the menu or ingredients she graciously informed me. read more

Indian food is my all time favorite cuisine so when I saw a place on the Restaurant Week 2025 list that I hadnt yet tried, we had to go! Very modern vibes in a large space, no reservation needed during the week. The staff was plentiful and checked on us the entire meal. We craved a little more spice in the dishes and didn't have leftovers to bring home but we did have a lovely meal at Aahaa. Chicken 65 was generous and the garlic Naan was classic. Curious to check out the rest of the menu next time around! read more

We came to Aahaa Restaurant on Saturday for dinner and had a very disappointing experience. I've been here before a few years ago when it was a different Indian restaurant and didn't have a great experience back then either. But since it was recently renovated, I thought it might be under new ownership, so we decided to give it another try. I made a reservation for our group of 7 several days in advance. When we arrived, the hostess told us they were too busy and we'd still have to wait about 25 minutes for a table. I honestly don't understand the point of making a reservation if you still end up waiting. They were clearly very busy, so we decided to sit outside at one of the patio tables while we waited for our indoor table to be ready. No one came by to even offer water or drinks for at least 15-20 minutes. We had to follow up three times to see if our table inside was ready. My husband ordered an old fashioned, and it took over 20 minutes to arrive. He eventually walked over to the bar himself and saw the drink just sitting there, so he grabbed it and brought it back to our table. Our server was nice and tried her best, but it was obvious that the staff was extremely overwhelmed. We ordered the Chicken 65 appetizer, two Chicken Tikka Masalas with different spice levels, Chicken Biryani, and three orders of naan so we could share everything family style. The menu says these are large plates, but when the food came out, the portions were shockingly small. Each tikka masala had only about 3-4 tiny cubes of chicken in it, which was extremely disappointing, especially at $22 per entree. We called our server over to ask if our orders were made correctly because the portions seemed so small. She explained that the owner decided to reduce the meat portions in the entrees, which is honestly unacceptable at that price point. We asked to speak to a manager, and someone named Luann came over. She was extremely rude and unprofessional. When we asked why the portions were reduced, she just shrugged and said, "That's just how it is," with no apology or explanation. Her attitude was terrible, and she looked completely disheveled and frazzled, which didn't help the situation at all. She could definitely benefit from training in management and customer service. Another note - drinks are non-refillable, and sodas come in cans for $3 each, which adds up quickly for a group. The food itself did taste good, but the portions were so tiny that it wasn't worth it. Even with three orders of naan, each order was so small that each person basically got just one piece. Overall, we were extremely disappointed with our visit. None of us in our group of seven plan to return. We always go to Spice and Rice down the street, and we will continue to go there instead. Their portions are huge with plenty to take home, the service is always great, and the owner is wonderful. Aahaa could really take a lesson from them on how to run a restaurant and treat their customers. Also, just a heads up - tip in cash if you go. We were told that management takes 50% of tips paid by credit or debit, which is absolutely terrible for the servers. read more

Aahaa Indian Restaurant in Overland Park is serving up rich curries, fresh naan, and those bold, crave-worthy spices you can smell before you even walk in the door. I ordered the Chicken masala and it was SO good with the rice. My dining partner had a seafood dish and it was delicious as well. Authentic, delicious, and made with heart -- this is Indian food done right read more

I absolutely love the flavor of their food.... But their medium is mild and hot is medium. When you figure that out... it's a great place to eat. My go to is Chicken Tikka Masala with Garlic naan. The chicken is tender and the sauce is savory. I give 5 stars because the I suspect that the way they do their spiciness levels is because of where they are located. I'm not going to fault them for that. If you like medium like I do... order hot. read more

The food was very delicious and the inside was nicely decorated. The house family special dosa was huge and a great value since it came with multiple chutneys including sambar and potato masala. The chicken chettinad was also delicious also with the right amount of spice. read more

The BEST Indian restaurant in Greater Kansas City can be found in Overland Park, Kansas at Aahaa.

The family-sized dosa is perfect for a large group or celebration. The chicken lollipops were flavored and cooked to perfection as well. We ended our meal with the house dessert and have been craving it ever since. This spot has great adult-beverages and a cute bar to enjoy a drink at.

Got takeout for my birthday. Lamb shank, garlic naan, Manchurian cauliflower bites, Amritstari fish fry, shrimp 65 and the Apollo chicken. Put it in at 12:30 to be picked up at 5:30. Got a notice on my phone that it was ready at 5:08. If you want it at 5:30 the have it ready at 5:30. Everything was cold and mushy. The crispy dishes were mush. If you have crispy things that need to stay crispy, then do like Chinese restaurants do and poke holes so the steam escapes. Put the shrimp, fish and cauliflower in the oven to try to crisp and heat up but only the shrimp did. Everything else completely mushy. Lamb shank and naan cold and needed to be heated up. Lamb and shrimp were the highlights. I'm sure the fish would have been better if crispy. Apollo chicken was dry and would never get again. So disappointed. read more

The samosas are deeeelicious! Really enjoyed my spicy dosa (it was 2 feet long, not even the giant 4 foot one they offer!) and my husband's mango curry chicken was SCRUMPTIOUS. We each had a cocktail- his old fashioned was yummy, and was served smoking. Mine was a martini with pistachio and saffron- I was excited for it, but it had a bitter aftertaste that I didn't care for. The total came to over $80 which is steep for Indian, but it is definitely an upscale place. I'd come here again and maybe skip the cocktail next time. The food is terrific! read more

To start with the positive, the food was great! The portion size was good and the flavors were nice, and they had varying levels of spice. However, the service was crazy slow. A waiter didn't come over until 30 minutes after we got there (and someone had to go up to the host to get a server), and then after we ordered it took another hour for our food to get there. The waiter didn't know what they were giving us so it was just confusing because they kept saying the wrong names of the dishes. Even in the waiting time, the server didn't come check on us all that much. It was also a little pricey (my regular dish was $22) but it wasn't anything crazy. Go here for good food but if you're hungry go somewhere else because you'll probably have to wait a while. read more

Aahaa Indian was such a great find. Since moving to Kansas, we've been searching for a really good Indian restaurant--and this place did not disappoint. The service was warm and attentive, and the food exceeded our expectations. The butter chicken and chicken tikka masala were rich, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. I usually look for Malabar paratha at Indian restaurants, and while they didn't have it, the naan was fresh, soft, and absolutely delicious. The ambience was inviting and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommend Aahaa for amazing food, excellent service, and a great overall dining experience. read more

This was my second time going to Aahaa because I loved the first time. To my disappointment, much of the menu items had been removed, including a lot of the unique dishes that most Indian restaurants in KC do not offer. The smaller menu still has some of the unique foods of the original menu, and fortunately they were still delicious. I think they accidentally gave me a mild goat Chettinadu when I ordered a medium, so it was a bit under seasoned for my taste but still enjoyable. Fortunately, the paneer lollipops and Amirtsari fish fry were both well seasoned and had a kick to them. The food came out fairly quickly despite being in a large group. Prices are a bit high, but it's worth it to go every once in a while to get some harder to find Southern Indian foods. read more
