Vegetable Biryani
Steve A.

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.

Chicken Saag
Rajiv S.

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!

Our delicious Indian picnic.

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.

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

Not biryani,  too mushy and wrong rice and masalas.. nice try

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

Lamb saag, amazingly delicious with a touch of spice
Kelsey L.

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!!

Garlic naan, biryani, Chicken Tikka Masala
Tommy M.

Absolutely delicious!! Very authentic. Full of flavor. Dishes made to order so can be aomg wait, but totally worth it! Friendly staff. Will be back for sure! The chickens Tikka was very tasty. Excellent biryani. My friend enjoyed her chicken vindaloo! See y'all there!!!

Making food like at a home!

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!

This place is amazing! The owner is super helpful if you don't know what you want. The food.... OMG best Indian Food I have had in a while. The food takes a min to cook but just run down the block for a beer and before you finish your food is read. I'm out of town and on my way back home I will stop again!

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

Literally right off I-70 (exit 59) in the BP gas station parking lot on Rt. 41 S, this food truck is GOOOOD!! Pretty extensive menu for a food truck, definitely something for just about everyone, from apps., breads, entrees, traditional drinks and desserts. I wasn't 100% excited about my dal makhani (spicy lentils w/rice) but that's on me, not them. It was a little too soupy for my liking, next time I'll try something else. My paneer paratha was a great alternative to the usual na'an, MUCH more flavor... I'd go for that option, or something similar, again. I asked for extra chutney, the green was great but the red was a watery mess. VERY reasonably priced, quick and friendly service, what's not to like? I'm almost POSITVE they'll get that fifth star from me on my NEXT visit!! Namaste, Nawab!!

Very nice restaurant in a plaza near our hotel. It's a nice size. It's not too big and not too…read moresmall. About 14 tables. My husband got lamb korma and I got chicken korma. We both ordered garlic naan. But honestly, I think we should've just ordered one because if you look at the picture, you'll see that the pieces are huge! We've eaten a lot of Indian food and we've never had korma so creamy! I would almost think that they added mayonnaise or sour cream to it because of the consistency and flavor. Everything was very delicious. The service was good. Everything was nice and clean. I asked for a straw and they brought me out a paper straw, which, of course is environmentally friendly. I will have to reiterate what another Yelper said, we both got spice level 3 on a scale of 1-5. And there really was no spice at all in it ! So if we ever come back to the Dayton area and visit this restaurant again, I would definitely get a spice level four or five.

Honestly, I can't recommend this place enough. The staff was so friendly! I think it's a family…read morebusiness, and the lady who served us was so nice about helping me choose (I was super indecisive!).
