All around good food, very pleasant staff, and worth the visit. Definitely one of the places I stop-by when I visit Columbus. read more

I love Indian food and I travel a lot so I always look for new places to try. I saw this was a fairly new location with a healthy mixture of dishes, so I stopped in. The folks at the front desk are super friendly and this place is decorated in a more upscale fashion than most Indian joints. Appetizer - the lamb samosas were fairly bland and much smaller than other samosas I've eaten recently, but the pastry was crisp and fresh. The dipping sauce cups were basically empty when I opened them but tasty. Naan - excellent flavor and texture Main Course - the tikka, which I ordered spicy, was light on chicken. The flavors were quite robust, but the spice level could've been much hotter. Overall, great vibe, large menu, and friendly staff. Will definitely be back. read more

Went to the Sunday buffet. A mixed bag. Some of the food was excellent, some of it surprisingly bland. I checked out the men's room before I left - it wasn't clean. read more

The food here was absolutely delicious fresh prepared to order 10 stars. The atmosphere of the restaurant was probably 2 1/2 stars, but I came for the food not for the ambience. read more

The food was all around good! I would definitely recommend and wood like to go back. Palak paneer was a wonderful classic take on a classic dish. Shy Ronni ordered the biryani, not for me. Aru made a one of a kind extra spicy sauce that I think tied the whole meal together. Round of applause for that. May upgrade to 5 star if I go back and have another good experience. read more

May you be lucky enough to dine here without a yowling child at nearby booth. Certainly that's not the restaurant's fault but it did point our how loud this place is, surrounded by hard surfaces. Our meal didn't meat our expectations; the tandoori chicken pieces were from a runt chicken, the goat dish had more bones that meat, and the extra spicy vindaloo was anything but. The staff was friendly but overwhelmed by to-go orders. Prices were industry average. read more

Food was good, service was good. There is a variety of Indian and Chinese dishes, vegetarian and meat. We got the chicken tikka masala, naan, Hakka noodles and gulab jamun. They served hot and sour soup with tofu after ordering. I would come back. read more

Fantastic goat curry and lamb korma. Best Indian food in Columbus I highly recommend it!

Amazing menu with lots of choices for an Incredible India restaurant! Service was excellent with such a large group of us tonight for dinner. Background music was soothing and relaxing as well. I ordered the Butter Chicken and the Nan bread basket to share, a great variety of different kinds! My rice was so fluffy and paired perfectly with the Butter Chicken! The three of us shared a Taj Mahal beer which was cold and refreshing. Bread basket was amazing! read more

The food here is fantastic. We had Lamb Vindaloo and chicken Korma. It was the best Vindaloo I've had so far! read more

I'm a repeat customer. The food has always been yummy. The last time my husband and I went, we both got sick that day. Hours after eating, I literally had diarrhea while shopping. I'm very disappointed. The environment was an empty restaurant as usual. read more

Yum! Awadh is our go-to place for delicious Indian food! The chicken korma is amazing.

you do not come here for the ambiance. You do not care that some kids smudged the windows. You do not care about sitting on custom carved Mexican restaurant benches. You come here for consistently great food and service !! Staff is super friendly and for some reason will remember your entire order even if you have not been back in months - cannot get much better than that. plus bang / buck is solid. portions are big enough to share and in most cases there is always left overs. read more

Only 2nd time experiencing Indian cuisine, but I'm rapidly becoming a fan. This was our 1st vistit to Awadh, but I would definitely go again. We started off with Lehsuni Gobi - I'm not sure how you can make cauliflower taste so good, but I could have made a meal of just this....Springrolls were exceptional as well. Entree's of Chicken Tika Masala (no heat) for my wife & Vindaloo Lamb for me (medium heat). We both enjoyed them very much. Adding a bread basket for just two of us was massively overkill, but it was wonderful & became a late night snack for me later. :) read more

Nice, small place. We walked in and there roughly 5 tables and 4-5 booths. The waiter was very polite and allowed us to customize our orders as requested. The food came out in about 15-20 minutes so pretty good timing. The food was good. I wouldn't say it was amazing or that I'll be specifically craving this restaurant, but still good. read more

We love Awadh so much! We've been here more times that we can count! Everything we've ordered is so good and the garlic naan and mango lassi are to die for.

Fantastic service and even better flavors! The atmosphere was very pleasant and the host was very polite. Too excited for pictures. Spice level was spot on when asked for a preference. 10/10 read more

My friends threw my baby shower party for me and had food catered by Awadh. For appetizer, we had a chaat station, which had chana and then all the toppings (sev, onions, tomatoes, yogurt, tamarind, chutney) available. There was also one worker who manned the chaat station and made the chaat bowls. We loved the chaat. For dinner, we had vegetable jalfrezi, rice, naan, tandoori chicken, and fish curry. Not all the items available at their restaurant is halal, so my friends ordered chicken (which is halal) and fish. I wish they would have all halal meat options. The fish curry was good and did not have a smell to it and the tandoori chicken and naan were nice to have together. The tandoori was not dry, which was a plus. read more

Was in the mood for some delicious Indian food so decided to give this place a try. It was my first time here. We decided to do carry out because of the bad weather. We got the vegetable samosas, lamb biryani, goat bhuna masala, chettinad chicken curry, and garlic naan. It was all extremely delicious! My favorite was the goat dish and my partners favorite was the chicken. Honestly you can't go wrong with any of them! We will be back read more

Came in kinda close to closing time. The staff was excellent. The food is authentic. I started with the lamb samosa. The flavor was top tier. The outside had a seasoned salt that surprised and thrilled my palate. I had the rara lamb main course. It may be my favorite Indian dish I've had. The combination of seasonings was rich with enough heat and the meat was succulent. The garlic naan was a little thin and basic, but it soaked up the sauce and made an excellent vehicle to mop up at the end. read more

Wake up those taste buds! Tucked away in a strip mall is this hidden gem. The menu tells the story of a chef who wants to share his family recipes with the world. We were impressed with the level of service, depth of flavor and portion size for the price. The Tandoori chicken was serve grilled, on a hot plate. Four large pieces, full of spice, smoke and love! We also asked for sweet bread, which was not on the menu. We explained that we like it with coconut and raisins, and they immediately accommodated us. We also enjoyed the butter chicken, but in our haste, we did not grab a picture. Keep in mind this restaurant is in a strip mall, but don't let that called you back. The interior is clean, comfortable, and inviting. linen tablecloth's, linen napkins, and comfortable seating. We look forward to a return visit! read more

First time visitor to this restaurant and I was quite impressed. I came in 1/2 hour before the buffet closed and I was very glad to see that each offering was full and well labeled. There is a small side section with fresh salad items as well as a hot chai station I had a variety of appetizers and chicken curries over rice. Very tasty! read more

We stop here whenever we are heading to this part of town. Great variety of dishes, but my favorite is by far the pan-fried spicy paneer. I would choose it as one of my top 5 dishes in Columbus. Decor is interesting, kind of mash-up of Tex-Mex meets Grandma's living room meets fine dining...but I don't go there for the decor. Service is friendly and helpful. We are always pleased when Aru is our waiter, he is efficient and always makes us smile. read more
