I have been going here for years and just realized I never added review so finally wanted to spill the secret out lol. This is the most consistent and best vegetarian food in town. Other places might deliver better food maybe one time here and there but not every single time like this place. I go here like once or twice a week. My favorite dishes are chilli paneer , saag paneer , chole bhaturey , paani poori , kadi pakora, mushroom curry . The sweets are amazing my brother in Chicago asks me to pick sweets from here when I visit him. His friends in Chicago love Brij Mohan sweets. I wish I could try more sweets but I have to watch my glucose lol Its self service and ambience is great. read more

We ordered the samosa chaat ($6.99), pani puri ($5.99), and kulfi ($4.99). All were delicious, although I wish there were more puri. The kulfi had a cardamom flavor. We ordered to-go, and service was decently fast! There is plenty of seating inside. read more

I was in the mood for some Indian comfort food and a quick search resulted in Brij Mohan so I decided to check it out. Here's my take on the experience: Quality of food: Good. I started out with Bhel Poori that comes with salty rice crispy mix with onions, tomatoes, green peppers topped with some tangy tamarind sauce. The Bhel Poori was perfectly crispy and enough to share with two people. For the entree, I got the Choley Bhature that came with chickpea curry served with two sourdough deep-fried breads with a side of onion salad. The chickpea curry was nice and hot and full of flavor. The Bhature were beautifully puffed and crispy. For drink I tried their mango lassi which was fresh and very satisfying. I didn't get to try any of the sweets as I was too full but they looked amazing. Décor: kinda meh. There isn't much decoration here but I think the food here makes up for it. Cleanliness: good. The tables were being kept clean. Service: good. You order at the counter and are given a buzzer that goes off when the food is ready. Price: reasonable. The Bhel Poori was around $5 and the Choley Bhature was around $10. If you're up for some authentic Indian food and sweets then checkout Brij Mohan. read more

If you're craving true New Delhi-style street chaat, this place absolutely delivers. They've nailed the flavors, the textures, and that authentic street-style experience. The rasmalai is honestly one of the best I've ever had--easily a standout and something I'd go back for on its own. Food quality, presentation, and taste are all top notch. As a food scientist, I pay close attention to detail, and it's clear they're consistent and know exactly what they're doing. Highly recommend--especially if you genuinely appreciate bold, well-balanced flavors and good recipes done right. read more

Ordered the chole bhatura and enjoyed. Just felt like something was missing in the chole and the bhatura got hard kind of quick. The restaurant was nice and clean inside. read more

Brij Mohan Indian Sweets & Restaurant - Chole Bhatura - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Friends of ours recommended this place so we stopped in for lunch. It's not a fancy place, especially from the outside. However, it's really good Indian food. And they are known for their sweet deserts. You order at the counter and you'll get a buzzer. When it buzzes it's time to go back to the counter & get your meal. We started with vegetable pakora. It came with 2 sauces, we both liked the red sweet sauce best. It was really good! Next I had Matar mushroom, and I asked for heat level 4 (out of 6.) it was served with rice on paper plates (with plastic tableware.) Now, given that, really enjoyed the meal and the heat was certainly up there. My son had the Matar paneer. Also served with rice on paper plates. He enjoyed it as well. We shared a garlic naan - 1 was large enough for us to share. read more

Great food! Fast carryout! Vegan and vegetarian! Sweets and treats; don't miss the mango lassi. Nice people; note: not open on Mondays...

Delhi food represented here! I grew up in Delhi and miss the true Delhi/Punjab taste of food in United States as most Indian restaurants in US have a South Indian alignment or Gujarati alignment. The sooji puris used in paani puri took me down a memory lane! The samosa also is made very Delhi style. The spices and flaky crust reminds me of the samosa I ate growing up made by a local halwai. Special mention for the sweets! They have a great rasmalai, ladoo, cham cham etc. Definitely would recommend the food. From a service perspective, it's a self serve restaurant. You stand in line and place your order, pay at the counter and they give you a buzzer which goes off when your food is ready. You go grab your food, find a table and dispose off the dishes once you are done eating. Don't really look for a 'dining experience' in here. The down side of this format is even though the food is amazing, I will not bring my non-Indian friends here, or if I am looking to go out with friends, this will not be my place of choice. read more

My girlfriend told me to try this when I told her I'd be in the Cincy area for work assignment. Nestled in a dumpy looking strip mall in Sharonville, Brij Mohan doesn't look much from the outside. It's when you see the parking lot full that you realize that it's popular. It's kind of interesting. Full vegetarian menu with prices like $10.99 for Malai Kofta, which is like 7-8 dollars cheaper than the Malai Kofta in Columbus. And good, if not better quality. Service is not there. You have to order, get a pager, and then pick your order. Water, napkins, plates, bowls are self serve. Oh yeah, all paper plates and plastic silverware. I hate, hate this. Seriously, just hire a couple dishwashers and get proper plates and silverware. Now to the food-- it's worth coming here. The food, nicely spiced, and plentiful. It's just quality Punjabi food by Punjabi food. You can't beat the price. And the samosas? Bomb. Don't go home without taking some samosas to go. Come here... weep inside for the paper and plastic but enjoy this food. Ambiance? Bare bones. I think it was "to go" for a while before dining in was back. But, they're into catering and take out more, I think. read more

I had seen some pictures indicating that the place was running takeout-only at some point, but was surprised that this was still the case even when I visited over two years after the first COVID lockdowns. I'm not sure why; it's not like any of the people here were wearing masks (nor would they need to), but I don't get why this place hasn't reopened. And it wasn't just that; they also didn't have any breads, which I would have hoped would be a highlight. The chickpeas I did end up getting were richly spiced and definitely worthwhile even without bread. The chai I got was not overly sweet and had a nice spice blend. I eyed the desserts, but for whatever reason I have not found many Indian desserts that I really like and I didn't get any here. Hard for me to say what's going on and a lot of businesses are struggling, but they didn't fulfill quite as many of my needs as I'd hoped. At least the food I was able to get was good, but I wondered if I should have gone somewhere else, sat down, and ordered off a full menu. read more

Best quality Indian food in Cincinnati. I always go here over anywhere else around. Thank you

I visited Brij Mohan for the second time. I was surprised to see that their dine-in was still closed. Anyway, what I bought and how it tasted is rated below: Dahi vada: 5/5 Gol gappay: 3/5... the Chana/potato mix was quite little and the water was way over spicy... though I'd asked for medium. Mixed mithai: 5/5 for gulabjamun, kal Akins and chamcham. 3/5 for Doda halwa.. too hard n dry Jalebi: 5/5.. best I've had in USA! read more

We are neither vegan nor vegetarian, but the food here is fantastic. You order and pickup at the counter, it is mostly self service. The price is reasonable. It is a comfortable place to dine. I highly recommend when in the area. read more

A very good vegetarian and sweets shop around Cincinnati. The place is not open for Dine-in (Google shows its open) so just be prepared. Coming to the food, Papdi chat was really good. Also Dahi Wada was very nice. They have a good selection of Indian chat items and you can't go wrong with any of them. I tried the Malai Kofta - which was nice. The koftas are cooked well and the gravy had a kick. Oh btw, they do not have any bread apart from Batura. The selection of sweets is good. Their kowa jamoon, which was my favorite. Overall a good place. I would go again. read more

I wish there was a 4.5. The food is GOOD! I've eaten here about six-seven times and it's one of the best Indian food places in Cincinnati. My friends and I shared the Papdi chat, Cholle Bhature and Paneer Makhani with Garlic naan. And it was really good! The right amount of spice, not very oily or creamy. Other recommendations: Saag Paneer, Malai kofta, Shahi Paneer. They have a massive selection of sweets. It's kinda pricey to be honest, but good too. The kalakand is okay. Gulab jamun and Rasagula are meh. Rasmalai is good. This place tends to get really crowded so be before time to grab a good seat and park. read more

Chole bhature is great, Could use more chilly n spice Service was good. looking forward to my next visit . read more

Good Indian food. They also have a variety of sweets. The ambiance is just OK but the food is excellent

Do not hesitate. Forget the paper plates and plastic silverware. This is among the finest Indian Food in the entire Midwest. I'm not kidding. You'll pay 2/3rds the price of most restaurants. You will have fabulous variety. I've eaten across Indian Food across the world, and this ranks amount the yummiest, and I do not say this without also saying that I very rarely ever give out five stars. You have to be on the ball. Your chops have to be consistently flavorful, a good value, great ingredients, and the best orchestration possible. They meet all these requirements. And OMG is the food great!!!! I've yet to go wrong, and believe me, I've tried. It's a hole in the wall. There's seating, and you can't believe the prices. You expect something to go wrong, and no, it never does. You come for the food, but the staff is friendly. There are pastries/sweets, but the rest of the menu just amazes me, and it's darn tough to do that. When I find it, I must reward it. This is the reward: Try them. It's inconveniently located in Sharonville. Go anyway. It look strange. You went for the finest in vegetarian Indian Food. No, I don't work for them. Yes, I will return every time I can-- it's worth the trip to see if I can find something they don't do well. So far, I'm simply amazed and humbled. read more

The food was very tasty. It is very popular and had a long line. I called ahead, but it didn't seem to matter as there was no easy way for people who called ahead to pick up their food, which defeated the point of calling in to save time. I highly recommend that they change their setup to allow people to place orders online or on the phone including payment. Then, all they have to do is fulfill the order and place the orders with the customer's name on the bag on a shelving unit in the front. This way customers can walk in, find their order, pick up, and go. read more

Delectable Food. Had chole bhatura, samosa, aloo tikki - everything was so sumptuous. Packed a bunch of pista roll and Kaalakand to take home. Will definitely visit again read more

I thought I'd be reviewing a "hidden gem", but there's already 200+ reviews. I'm writing another one anyway though, because small minority-owned businesses / authentically ethnic restaurants need our love! I've come here 3 times now as it's the go-to Indian spot for one of my friends that I meet up with for lunch, and perfect for the other one in our group who's a vegetarian and loves spicy food. I've only ever ordered the aloo choley (chickpea and potato curry) and samosa. I'm sure other things are good too, but I tried it my first time there and loved it so much that I haven't branched out. The portions are huge for the prices, it's no frills--in a good way--and the food is tasty. What more could you ask for? read more

Food has always been very tasty and portion filling Service is friendly There sweets are excellent read more

Phenomenal food in a small storefront. Parking is at a premium and might but be hard to come by at peak hours. The space is lacking on ambiance, but the kitchen produces amazing flavors at very reasonable prices. When you walk in, you proceed to a large, cafeteria-like counter with a menu above. There are no descriptions but printed menus are available to peruse close up. The counter also holds more Indian sweets than I've ever seen. Many of the savory dishes will be familiar if you know Indian food. There are also several times of street food appetizers and snacks. We each had lunch combos and an order of vegetable samosas, which were HUGE! The food came on disposable plates but was phenomenal and plentiful. The two of us had more than our fill and enough leftovers for another meal all for under $25. Can't wait to go back and try some of those desserts! read more

Good samosa chat ! Good Aloo chat ! This is my second visit to brijmohan after I moved to cinci. The place is very indian, mostly covers all spicy cuisines. Staff is courteous, place is clean and ventilated. Food at brijmohan is okay ! may be because i have tasted at better places (not in cinci though) The only thing i like here is samosa chat !! so if you are still hungery after a samosa chat , order another samosa chat !! read more

Brij Mohan Indian Sweets & Restaurant - Indian Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

I was traveling through the area and was looking for a good local restaurant. Brij Mohan was pretty busy for a Tuesday night. You order at the counter, pay, and they bring you the food. I asked for a suggestion when ordering and Matar Paneer was recommended with a side of garlic naan. I didn't realize this was a vegetarian restaurant before going, but Indian non meat meals are good with me. I was pretty hungry, so I was glad I had the side of naan. For a spice level I asked for a 3/6. It wasn't too spicy. The main course was decent. It was an enjoyable overall meal. read more

We are big fans of Brij Mohan and take every opportunity to 'divert' our map in that direction even t.hough we are not in the neighborhood. It is good fortune for a small-ish town like Cincinnati to have a 'sweet shop' like Brij Mohan. That said, I am concerned that Brij Mohan is now an institution that is trending down in food quality. To summarize our culinary experience today -- Chole Bhature where the Bhature was gluey when it cooled and the Chole wasn't Chole at all (it was some sort of Chole plus lentil experiment that was decidedly unexciting). The Special Chat was okay, a little sweet and a little light on the papdi. The Petha sweet tasted like sugared vegetable and lacked the stiff exterior that makes the sweet taste squirt in your mouth when you bite in. Folks, please 'get back on the wagon'. A good sweet shop is a necessity, don't fall asleep on the wheel! read more

My daughter loves to eat here, and the sweet rolls are amazing! Fast service - a bit pricey.

This is literally the best Indian food I've ever had. The sweets were amazing. Everything looked so simple but was intense with flavor. I literally was licking my bowl at the end. Went to Sharon Woods for a hike and just randomly ended up here and I am so thankful we did. Thank you for great Food. Blows Amber away IMHO. read more

Brij Mohan is THE place to get your Indian street snack fix. Of course they have all kinds of veggie dishes as well, but I am always coming here for the pani puri and samosa chaat. I tried the sweets here for the first time and it was amazing! It's worth the drive every time. read more

We visit Brij Mohan almost every time we're in town cos someone or the other in our group always craves their chaat. Of the many times we've been here, the most consistent and my personal favorite dish is the samosa chaat. I don't care much for their chole bhature or pakoras. The dahi puri that I ordered the last time was not really to my liking, the sauce was very thick. But, the gobi Manchurian is one of the best - it's crispy and savory despite not have a lot of sauce coating. Surprisingly, it comes with a side of rice. And the ras malai is divine! If you have a sweet tooth, it's a must try! It's mostly crowded during weekends. The location and interior are anything but fancy. But, the food is authentic and the people are nice. You order at the counter and grab a seat and they bring your food out to you. The price is good too. They even sell Indian sweets. Go here if you're craving chaat or North Indian vegetarian food. read more

What do I say about this place??? They serve the best sweets you can get in Ohio. This is a vegetarian restaurant that serves pretty good Indian food. They can make the food depending on your spice tolerance level. Their rasgulla sandwiches are to die for. During my latest visit, I tried their chili fritters ( mirchi bajjis) and vegetable biryani. The bajjis were amazing and so was the biryani. We ordered the hottest level possible and they exceeded our expectations as we were sweating while eating the biryani read more

We went here on recommendation from couple of friends. Apparently it is one of the most famous spots to get Indian sweets. And we were not disappointed. They do have variety if fresh sweets on display. You can buy them per piece or by the pound. They also have a vegetarian Indian food and appetizer menu. We went with chhole bhature and mix veg pakoras. They were really good. We went here for dinner. Be careful on the turn for this place because it was a weird turn and took us some time to figure out entrance for parking in the nighttime while it was raining. We also sampled the sandwich rasgulla. Really really yummy. I would like to come back here when I am hungrier and can try more items on the menu. read more

Brij Mohan is serves wonderful food with big bold flavors. It is a no frills restaurant. You order at the counter and pay at the register and the staff brings the food out to you on disposable plates. The staff is very helpful and patient was customers who are unfamiliar with the cuisine. We always order the samosa chaaat (a smothered samosa) and dahi puri (a shell filled with chickpeas and covered with sauce). The yogurt on the dahi puri balances the pepper and tamarind. The Gobhi Manchurian (cauliflower) was a wonderful special this visit. The exterior was crisp and spicy and the interior was soft and mild. Hint: This is not the place to say I love spicy food and order the highest level the first time. Go with a 2 or 3 the first time and titrate from there. read more

Having tried most Indian restaurants in Chicago & Cincinnati, I think this is as close as you can get to real Indian street food! This place is vegetarian only. But wait...before you feel a sudden lack of protein in your system.... this is still a must stop for me every time I'm in the queen city and it should be yours too. What have I not tried from the menu is the question but If I have to knuckle down couple food items that you can't miss, they are as follows in no particular order- Rasmalai, Papdi chaat, Chai (best chai I've had outside my home), Paranthe for breakfast and Samosa's. I've also tried the lunch menu. Although pretty good, I think the snacks steal all the spotlight here. They ask you your spice level for every dish- crucial for me. They also have an array of Indian sweets- jalebi, ladoos, barfi...on and on. Ambiance- I was there last month and I saw they had made some improvements. New furniture, looked a bit more sleek. Overall, not hole in the wall but still very casual. Pricing is decent, gone up a bit in my last visit- no complaints, food is still delicious! Have a small parking lot as well, pretty convenient. P.S- I love the lady behind the counter for it feels warm to speak with her in Punjabi..... read more

This is the best Indian food in the city, to put it in perspective I still think its the best despite the fact that there are no meat options its all vegetarian: I won't bother commenting on atmosphere or service because you essentially order at a counter and it is a hole in the wall Indian restaurant in sharonville that is not known for being a fine dining establishment. You are coming here for the food simply put. The menu is fairly extensive though all vegetarian. Best dishes in my opinion are the manchurian cauliflower and biryani. Everything is homemade and well spiced and the closest you are going to get to home cooked Indian food probably in a large radius read more
