    Saag Choley, Chicken Curry, Chicken Tikka Masala, Garlic Nan, Rice Pilaf
    Trinity G.

    So so delicious! Hit the spot for my Indian food craving. First off, the garlic nan was incredible. So fluffy, flavorful, and delightful. We ordered the saag choley, spice level 2. It was delicious and would order this again! We also ordered the chicken curry, spice level 3. This one had a kick to it (as someone who doesn't really do spice) but still very good. My favorite thing we ordered was chicken tikka masala. That being said, everything we ate was remarkable. The restaurant is clean and for a Saturday night they were pretty busy! I will be back!!

    Let's bond over Indian Food shall we? I've been eating at this location for almost 14 yrs this fall and I can say with confidence that this is the best Indian Food around. Bold statement? Maybe. But I've had enough Indian Food to tell the difference in quality ingredients and consistently good food to make that statement. I'm also a creature of habit, so I tend to order the same thing when I go here lol. I will say I've tried both their lunch and dinner buffets and loved all the delicious sides and offerings on them. (I moved here almost 14 yrs ago and friends took us to another Indian place I believe in Clifton and I said, "This tastes just like Baba India!" In which my friend said "It's the same family." Anyhoo, I rarely eat inside but usually call in for pick up which is what I did this time. They do have plenty of seating inside for groups or if you're eating alone. The place is very dated and kinda dark inside, but it's clean and provides professional service. I always wonder why their building is so bland on the outside. Very very beige and old looking-BUT the food is great. Valpak coupons always have coupons for eat in or carry out. We get $4.00 off, just download the coupon and show it to them at the register. 4*'s and not 5*? Here's why: The price has nearly doubled to $40.00 for the same order I've been getting all these years and the container sizes have gotten smaller as well as the rice. Rice isn't expensive and it's at least 1/3 smaller. That being said, I may not order as often, but they deliver on flavor and quality which is worth the splurge.

    Chicken Tikka

    The chicken tikki was incredible--tender, perfectly seasoned, and full of flavor. Every bite was delicious. The service was phenomenal as well--attentive, friendly, and welcoming. Can't wait to come back!

    Fish Pakora

    For more than a decade, I have patronized Baba, mainly ordering the Saag Paneer and occasionally Garlic Naan when I have dined with friends. Their recipes are consistent and good. Today, I added the Fish Pakora appetizer to my typical order, and it was absolutely delicious! While I could go for less heavy on the salt, the flavor was all there. I ordered it for carryout, but when I arrived home, it was still hot, flaky, and fresh tasting. Baba is the closest Indian spot to my home that actually serves fish pakora, so they will definitely begin to see me more frequently. Yum! Also important to note is that the older gentleman who took my order over the phone and attended to me when I picked up my order was gentle and kind. I wish they would have had more people like him in their earlier years because his type of energy is what gives a place a "family-owned" vibe (insert heart emoji).

    I've been coming to Baba India with my dad since I was a child - so most of my life! Personally I think this is the best Indian in the city. Their rice is unique to any other rice I've had because they put saffron in it and I think it really adds something special to the rest of the meal. Their garlic naan is very garlicky and has a good crispness to it. Some restaurants use too much oil and it makes the naan greasy but here it is just right. Their mango lassi is delicious - a smooth, drinkable mango yogurt with a hint of Rosewater. The Rosewater is used perfectly, as too much Rosewater can quickly be overpowering. Chicken tikka masala is the go to for both my husband and I, and I think Baba's is the best. It's very creamy and they give you tons of sauce (very important in my book) and it has a good amount of spices. Service is always excellent here as they are very attentive and quick to provide refills and check ins on your table. Highly recommend Baba for your next Indian craving!

    My stomach was hurting for a whole day after. I believe I got food poisoning. Service was extremely rude.

    Worst food poisoning of my life. I was questioning this place at first and now you couldn't pay me to come back.

    Has quickly become my favorite Indian restaurant in the Cincinnati area. The food is very…read morefavorable and the speed of service is quite good. The one thing that sets this place apart from other Indian restaurants is value. I feel that you get your money's worth here. The portion size is reasonable and the price is also reasonable. If I am going to be critical of an aspect of the establishment, I don't care for the hours of operation. They are closed for a couple of hours during the afternoon. I would have been able to eat there several times but can't because they are closed. Would definitely recommend.

    Ok the entire time I've lived here, I've witnessed people on the internet saying that Jot is the…read morebest Indian food around. It was far away from me in Fairfield, so it took me far too long to try it (Doordash or bust). Omg it is soooo gooooddd!!! Is it Americanized? Probably but I don't know? I always assumed that I like the most Americanized Indian food, because I like sweet flavors and can't eat spicy food. Whatever is going on here, the flavors are just spot on for me in ways that other places around here have not been. Tikka masala fries are a favorite food. Geez I hope I can find something like this back in Cali. If I was eating there I would ask for double grated paneer. Bhindi masala is some of the best I've ever had - it's light and not too tomatoey and lets the okra shine through. Okra is not overcooked. Sooo tasty. I tried cholay (aloo) for the first time here and I love it. The mango chutney has the right flavor for me, super sweet. Mango lassi is really thick and not too sweet. Kheer was really good and also not too sweet. I wish they would have had gajar ka halwa on the menu because I bet it would be amazing. I have pretty basic picks because I'm pretty basic about Indian food. But I think everything here on the menu must be amazing. Don't be afraid to try anything!! One of my few regrets leaving this area is not trying Jot sooner so I could get experimental with their menu. So if you're reading this, do it in my honor please!
