Such an amazing dinner with colleagues…read more I was in Troy for work and went out with some work-friends for dinner. Another local colleague recommended Ashoka and I'm so glad he did. Appetizers: * Samosas - warm and creamy filling; crunchy outside, just like you would expect * Paneer Pakoda - creamy and cheesy * Masala Dosa - absolutely the BEST with the sauces and soup We were stuffed after eating appetizers but pressed on! Main: * Chicken Tikka Masala - an old favorite, exactly what you want in Tikka * Utappam - fluffy savory pancake * Lamb Rogan Josh - the lamb melts away like it's been braised into submission; so perfect. * naan, rice and sauces all perfect And even though we were too stuffed to move... Dessert: * Rice Pudding - served cold and creamy * Gulab Jamison - the syrup was even made fresh! * Rasamalai - cheesy and the pistachio made it balanced A few other things: * hospitality is amazing, so kind and attentive * incredible attention to allergy, just let them know * don't be deceived...you can't walk out, it's more of a waddle ENJOY!

I've been to Neehee's many times and this visit I wanted to make sure to leave a note. This meal…read morewas a Tuesday early evening, and was my son's first visit. For a kid with sensory sensitivity, this was the perfect timing to dine in. I was a bit sad to see the restaurant so empty and hope it was largely our timing. However, I can't negate the construction and horrible economic conditions as questionable contributors. The space is vast, clean, and today was peaceful. Generally, it's a lively atmosphere, cricket and kids in the background, and lots of gathering and conversations. The staff is always friendly and warm. One of the staff made sure to come by our table to check in mid-meal. It's a simple gesture and it makes me feel warm and welcome. We ordered gobi manchurian, masala dosa, veg fried rice, a mango lassi for my son and sugar cane juice for me. My son's favorite was the masala dosa- a comforting blend of flavors and textures, sambar was absolutely scrumptious. I practically inhaled my gobi, which is one of my favorite dishes. Perfect spice/heat level, well balanced and nice crunch from the bell peppers and onions. The veg fried rice was a safe third dish in the event my son was craving something familiar, and it ended up being satisfying but our least favorite of the order. I will say it was prepared well and I love the threads of vegetables throughout. Mango lassi was a nice buffer for some of the heat for my son, and my sugar cane juice was a surprisingly savory/sweet quencher for the ride home. Oh. And a scoop of butterscotch ice cream for the boy. Overall I am a loyal Neehee's fan and look forward to many more visits.

I ended up getting their Mysore Masala Dosa and Dahi Samosa Chaat. The dosa was good but didn't really have that kick or the authentic flavor I was hoping for. The sambar was too watered for my taste. The samosa chaat however checker off all the flavor boxes. The chaat was tangy, but not too spicy and absolutely delish. They have a lot of seating that makes me think they probably get crowded on weekends and holidays.

I was worried when the parking lot was empty, but we were eating early for dinner that I blamed it on the time on a Tuesday. Now that we have tried their food, I really hope the crowds show up later because they deserve it. The food was fresh, piping hot and tasted (almost) like homemade. The aromas when you enter the restaurant let you know that they care about quality. The restaurant was set meticulously at small and large tables. The service was friendly and quick. The carryout was packed well and ready about 15 minutes after my online order. They do have a drive-thru, if that interests you. The chicken dishes were fantastic and came with Basmati. The Garlic Naan was fresh amd tasty. I am excited to branch out and try other entrees. I really hope they continue to thrive because their quality and service deserve it! If you like

Reviewing only for the Special Ramadan buffet for Iftar - March 2025…read more$20 buffet including salad, bread, many entrees including lamb and chicken, dessert, and a sweet punch. They do fill up, so recommend to call in advance for reservations especially for larger groups. I made a reservation for 6 a week in advance with no issues, once there, they were fully booked for 7:30 dinner (one seating at sundown for Ramadan) and had to turn others away. Decent food for the price and some dishes had some spice to it! It was a bit chaotic though getting seated and a very tight space to walk around, as it's so popular during the Iftar, and lots of kids too. Limited waiter service - they gave us a jug of water that we had to ask for refill- and later someone came by to collect dirty plates.

OMG BECKY....you want some awesome Indian food? RUN!!! Derrick and I ate there and were delighted…read more We ordered black pepper chicken, vegetable hakka noodles, vegetable momo and garlic naan. It made my taste buds sing with a joy only Indian food can provide. I have eaten plenty of Indian food and this place is the real deal. I loved the black pepper chicken and the hakka was probably the best I have ever had. The smoke from the hot wok was captured right into the noodles. Incredible. Very clean and excellent service. I can't wait to try the buffet that is offered on Sunday. Please trust me on this one.

Service: if I was basing the review off of service it would be a one star. Because not only was it slow, it almost felt non existent. I came here with my parents and we would've ordered more if we could get a server to our table. It's not even that big of a place, but the servers hung out by the reception area and weren't even looking up. We had to wait a while for drinks, then wait another while to order. There are a ton of other Indian restaurants that are so much more attentive, even if it's crowded, which this place was not. Ambiance: feels like they tried to be upscale, unnecessary in my opinion. Just serve good food and make sure your servers are paying attention and that's more than enough. It's not a spot I would come back to.

Nawab is a great addition to the Berkley strip!…read more I dinned in for the first time and was blown away by the customer service. Not only is the service friendly but the food is delicious here too! I enjoyed everything I ordered. I did find their medium spice level is on the milder side, so that might be something to keep in mind! One note I found odd: I was charged $1 for the bottled water already provided on the table. There was no mention of the charge before the bill or opt for free tap water offered. Anyway, this is the Indian food in downtown Berkley, so I'll be back when I'm in the area!

We've dined here twice now, and it's fair to say the food really hits, though the service could be…read moremuch better. So far we've tried the Chai, Rava Dosa, Aloo Paratha, Chole Bhature, and Onion Uttapam. Loved the chai because they add cinnamon, which is my favorite touch, but the Rava Dosa has to be my top pick so far. The restaurant itself is pretty clean and has a cozy Indian vibe compared to other Indian spots around the area. The only downside has been the service. Our server seemed pretty disinterested and like he didn't really want to be there. You could tell from his face and body language. That said, I'll definitely be back to try more items because the food is worth it, but I really hope the service improves!
