I love this little stand! This man makeses some homey indian food. I have had the jerk chicken, the masala and the vindaloo... all were flavorful and super yummy Portions are great! The naan is ok, nothing too crazy. The stand does offer a dish I have never had anywhere before... see my pictures! The spinach and cheese is not as good as the chicken one! Highly recommend it! read more

Ok, but I think I might have to go back and order differently, because I didn't leave feeling nearly as WOWED as everyone else here seemed to be. After AGES of planning to try this place, I finally convinced the Mr. that we should give it a try on a sunny Saturday late afternoon/early evening. We placed our orders (several items not available, but that's understandable; it's a HUGE menu for a food truck!!) and waited about 20-30 minutes in the shared outdoor dining area adjacent to Corner Cone. Our meals were both "fine," but about 80-90% rice. The side orders of na'an and two samosas were a good break from the rice. Not bad, not great-- I've had Indian food before, but since was the (finicky) Mr's first try, he "could take it or leave it..." Good enough, not too pricey, but not nearly "the best Indian food I've ever had!!!" Still in search of the winner of that title here in Ohiooooooooooo!! read more

Amazing food. Good levels of heat. The chicken was very tender. Naan was good. Not impressed by cheese ball, but oh well. Would have preferred rice pudding. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by Aahar India. It's a food truck next to the ice cream place. There is a big menu for a truck. It has plenty of vegetarian options and while some items are pricey, a lot are comparable in cost to food at other Indian restaurants. The service is not fast because it's made fresh, but call ahead and you won't have that problem. I think it's the best Indian place in the area. The entrees are about $12 to $15. It's not cheap but the food is better than others around. It has all the traditional items. The vegan items are marked and many others can be made by substitutes. Aloo ghobi is cauliflower and potatoes. This is a hearty meal and is mildly spicy. Baingan bhartha is eggplant with rice and spices. The eggplant is spicy and tender. The mango juice is good with anything. It also has stikunjee an Indian lemonade. It has no seats but you can sit at the ice cream place. The service is pretty slow because they make everything to order. It's recommended to call ahead. There's usually only the owner there working on everything himself but he will make everything with care and is helpful with making choices if you're not sure. I will come here again next time around. It's best to call ahead so you can eat right away. The lunch specials also will help save and you can get meals for two people that's a value. read more

Aahar India - Vegetable Biryani - Indian Near Me - Yellow Springs, Ohio

Came all the way from Los Angeles and was surprised by this little gem of a place. Ordered chicken saag and the spices and flavor were amazing. Owner/chef Akhilesh is a very nice guy and knows what he's doing with his food! He treats his customers with love and this is evident in his food as well. Stop by his place and hear his story if you ever get a chance ighly recommended! read more

Sadly, this was disappointing... While the owner was ice, the food did not seem fresh and naan is the kind you buy in the freezer section at the the grocery store. Bummer. read more

Once you have this food, sold from a house trailer, permanently situated on a parking lot, you will abandon those "authentic" Indian restaurants & buffets filled with leftover, dry and boring offerings. Guaranteed. Hands down, this is some of the best Indian food anywhere. This is a one man operation. He is a total character. Part salesman, part showman & part chef, he is full of personality. A lot is made to order. Call ahead, or expect to wait 20 minutes. You can cool your heels at the nearby brewery, ice cream shop or street bench. The menu is an extensive mix of both northern and southern fares. Samosas, pakora, lentils, eggplant, curries, Indian breads are all above average. The lamb, chunks of it, is never failing tender. The complex mix of spices in the dishes are spot on and shine through, never allowing any heat to be overpowering. Highly recommend the #49 special platter for 2. A good buy for $22, and great sampling of the menu. If you love Indian food, you will be happy you gave this place a try and will want to come back. read more

Ok, so, this place is a gem. It started with a phone call. I saw that they were open until 9pm but didn't want to show up at 8:30pm when they were trying to wind down. In a thick India accent he said "of course you come, 8:30 is not 9". We rushed over to find the coolest little "real food" permanently-parked travel trailer. Lots of vegan options and great conversation. The food is all take out and made for an awesome hotel room buffet. I can say so much more but you should experience this guy for yourself. @blahvegan approved! Check us out on FB read more

This is the best Indian food I've ever had. The owner is amazing to chat with, and the food is absolutely divine beyond my wildest expectations. When my boyfriend suggested we get food truck Indian, my expectations were super low. But then I learned that Akhilesh makes everything from scratch to order, so I recommend that you call in your order then go pick it up. We got chicken tikka masala, and he asked if we wanted any vegetables added, so we had spinach. Coupled with the pakora (gluten free! chickpea flour!), it was a spectacular meal. Generous portions too! The second visit was on my boyfriend's birthday. We got chicken tikka masala again and chicken 65. the tikka masala is a little sweet and the chicken 65 is more savory-- both amazing again and totally a ton of food. I would eat there every single day if it made financial sense, seriously. Don't miss this place. read more

Ordered take out to eat at the Yellow Springs Brewery and had a wonderful experience. The food was flavorful and comforting, with great textures. The naan was some of the best I've had!! Greatly enjoyed speaking with the owner, who was very welcoming. Would recommend! read more

Excellent, homemade Indian cuisine! Very friendly and knowledgeable owner/cook. Dont pass this place up.

Not what I expected, this is not Biryani... poor quality food at high prices, next time will drive 15 min further to get better food when craving Indian read more

Aahar India - Not biryani, too mushy and wrong rice and masalas.. nice try - Indian Near Me - Yellow Springs, Ohio

Absolutely DELICIOUS. I recommend calling ahead, as the food takes awhile to be prepared, but who cares, it's made to order! I ordered the chicken tikka masala - exceptional; had a little kick, perfect texture, and the chicken was super tender. Along with the tikka, of course, I ordered some garlic naan - the perfect medium to soak up the sauce. The whole dish burst with flavors. My mouth and tummy were happy! Be SURE to order mango juice (or a mango lassi, the owner did not have all the ingredients for a mango lassi when I placed my order but no matter,) it is as fresh as fresh gets. I cannot wait until I have the opportunity to return to this phenomenal food establishment again!! read more

Aahar India - Garlic naan, biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala - Indian Near Me - Yellow Springs, Ohio

I live in Yellow Springs and this is THE place to stop and pick up Indian food. The owner/chef is super friendly and always happy to offer suggestions if you're not sure what you want. I always ask him to make it extra spicy otherwise it might be a little bland (but I like it spicy) so your tastes might be different. Either way, he is happy to make you whatever you like, he even serves vegan entrees. He makes a yummy spinach dal! There's not a place to sit down and eat. It's take-out only! Orders take around 20 minutes to complete, so I always wander to one of the nearby establishments to have a drink while I wait for my food. Whenever my family comes to visit we always grab a sampler platter. Portion sizes are generous and I haven't had anything off his menu that I don't like. read more

Best food I've had from a truck, period. Sitting in a parking lot next to an ice cream stand, it was directly across from our AirBnb. Owner was fabulous, huge personality, and will customize anything on the menu for you. He was very excited to explain everything, and we saw some things on the menu we'd never had before. My absolute favorite was the chaat, a GF chickpea flour appetizer - that could easily be a meal - that he customized with spinach and cheese for us. It is topped with yogurt and a tamarind sauce. Blown away at how good this was. I had the lamb biryani with veggies, it was well seasoned and I liked the yogurt and crunchies on the side, although it was light on the lamb. I really dug hubby's okra with red sauce (can't remember name), was the owners favorite dish, and he was stoked we ordered. It was a ton of food, and it was ready in 30 minutes. Highly highly recommend. read more

People who care even a little about hygiene would skip this place. Not good at all. Selling his own terrible recipes in the name of Indian food is just wrong! For $12-15 bucks I can order myself a nice Indian meal, a real Indian meal. He claims that he cooks everything from scratch, which is a lie. Terrible, expensive and extremely unhygienic food truck. The people claiming that this is the best Indian food obviously don't know Indian food at all. Huge thumbs down. read more

This is a great little place! The owner is very friendly and will give you lots of different suggestions, great since I've never been here before and am not familiar with Indian food! I had the lentil naan and the jackfruit curry with okra samosas! The naan with the jackfruit curry was great! Curry had great spice and it came with rice. It was hard though so I didn't eat the rice - I was perfectly happy to use the naan instead of rice! Jackfruit was like eating meatballs - large portions of food in the order too! The samosa was good - tasty insides, hot and fresh. I was quite happy. I'm hoping to try another curry with better rice in the future. Definitely get the naan though, samosa was my least favorite of what I ordered this time but it was still good! read more

We had the Tiki Masala and naan. The food was medium spicey which was just right. I am used to more creamy sauce on the Tiki so it wasn't my favorite but it was fresh and authentic. My daughter loved the food. The naan wasn't the best but it was average. There is a nice sitting area next to the ice cream stand next door. read more

Had the Rainbow (Vegetable) Briyani and the Thai Jackfruit Curry, both the best Jackfruit I've ever had and the best Briyani I've ever had. Excellent food truck, great service, half hour wait for the food but totally worth it on a nice day when we weren't in a hurry, plus we were told how long it would take before we ordered, we weren't left wondering how long it would be. Highly recommend. read more

I had Aahar after a long hike with my family I had never been to Yellow Springs or Ohio before and didn't know what to expect. Akhilesh was so warm, funny and friendly taking our order making sure we all were happy with what we got. The food took 25mins (as he told us) because my cousin ordered something complex but it was more than worth the wait. You could tell the food was fresh and had come straight off the grill, it was the most delicious Indian food I'd ever had. I was surprised it was just him in there--a one man cooking army. I was delighted and if I ever find myself in Ohio again I will definitely go back. read more

Amazing! The REAL deal. I've been to many parts of India over the past 10+ years. Aaahar India is authentic and delicious Indian food. I love that the food is cooked to order. Well worth the wait! Will definitely come back! read more

This place was okay, we ordered then walked around for about 20 minutes then came back when they said the food would be ready. The food comes in to go boxes, so you can do that or sit in the ice cream's shop covered seating area. The cook had trouble finding us sitting in the ice cream stores covered seating area... which to me seamed like the obvious place to sit. Plus the ice cream shop has free WiFi! The food was all right not the best I have had. The vindaloo curry seamed really greasy, especially since the slogan on the trucks sign says " we always keep nutrition in mind". Seemed a little over priced for a food truck, but not for Indian food in general. I'd go back but make sure to go for the lunch specials, which are only during the week. Oh and bring your own water if you are cheap like me and don't like spending 2$ for a tiny bottle of water. read more

A tiny food truck/trailer in the small, out of the way town of Yellow Springs, OH. (Where?) On our way back home, we decided to stay in this quaint, and strangely progressive, hamlet. Across the way from our B&B was this teenie food truck thing tucked back in a small parking lot. After asking a local about it, we gave it a try. The owner and cook was a delightful gentleman who obviously has a passion for his food. The menu had items we'd never heard of despite being avid Indian food fans, so we were really impressed. He will make anything you want, however you want it, as long as he has the ingredients. So don't be afraid to be creative. Just ask! He makes the food just like one would at home. You MUST try the chaat. Great cool (gluten free) appetizer. We had the spinach and cheese one and were blown away. My wife had the lamb biryani with veggies and paneer. It was a mound of food perfectly seasoned (not too hot for the white folks) with a side of yogurt to temper the spice. If your a veggie person, ask for his okra dish. He said it's his favorite. And it showed. I loved it. Good depth of flavor with a generous helping of basmati rice. We were pleasantly stuffed. The owner was great to chat with and thoughtfully answered any questions we had. We couldn't recommend more. Please pay him a visit. It's worth it! read more

A permanent food truck located next to Corner Cones in Yellow springs. There is no seating outside but you can either take the food to-go (the owner hands it out in nice portable containers) or if its nice out you can sit on one of the picnic tables outside corner cones. The food is $10-15 a plate, which is typical of Indian cuisine. During the weekday, they offer specials to make for a more affordable lunch. The food is flavorful... nothing particularly stand out, but the portions are large and filling. The food is spicy (even if ordered mild) and the owner only sells bottled water. So unless you want to pay for that also, bring your own water before enjoying. read more

Best Indian food around! We usually have the fish masala and chicken vindaloo with an order of naan. The food is delish and so fresh! It does take a while, but it is worth the wait! We usually call 30 minutes ahead of time. read more

Awesome Indian food! We order frequently and have never been disappointed! The owner is friendly and always willing to chat while cooking. Best Indian in the area! We usually get the Chicken 65 and Sagg Paneer. My favorite thing is the Veggie Pakora. The only thing you have to know, is that it is made on the spot by a very friendly man, but every time, the dishes are a bit different. Sometimes spicier, sometimes creamier, but always good, lots of flavor, and a good portion! read more

Excellent Indian food. The owner is quite the character and his recommendations are spot on!

This is a food truck and there is no place to sit down other than the common areas around. Order took a while and food turned out to be terrible. Hygiene is also questionable. Won't be going back any time for sure. read more

Really great curry & rice! Naan is lackluster. A bit overpriced too. Great flavors though.

I love Indian food and this definitely took me to a nostalgic state. The owner is so friendly and we ended up talking to him for awhile. He joked around with us and really cared. For sure one of my favorite places. Tons of vegan options. The dal and fried zucchini (forgot what the dish is called) were to die for. read more

Truly lucky to have this treasure in Yellow Springs. Best Indian Food I've ever had. Made FRESH and will take some time, but WELL worth the Time!

This is our go to when we want delicious Indian food. There are so many delicious vegan dishes and the owner can make most dishes vegan if you ask. It is a one man operation and everything is made from scratch, so expect a little bit of a wait (it's so worth it) We drive out to Yellow Springs from Kettering once week for his veggie pakora and veggie kofta! It is a food truck so there is no direct seating, but there are picnic tables next door at the ice cream shop you can sit and eat at. Big portions and decent prices! read more

Friendly service. The food was a little more expensive than I anticipated with most entrees costing in the $12-15 dollar range. We waited about 30 minutes for the food. The portion size was average for the price. I ordered the chicken and vegetable curry which was tasty. If the meal was $8-9 I would have said the price was fair but I'd say the food was a little expensive for the quality and quantity we received. read more
