The food was DELICIOUS- I got the chana masala, garlic naan, and a mango lassi, all of which were some of the best I've ever had, and my dining companion got the chicken chow mein, which they loved and said was elevated by the two types of onions used and the lime on top. We both are wusses and only got the spice level of two- I personally would go up to a three or four next time, and my dining partner said that they would stay at a two (their spice tolerance is lower than mine). With tip, we paid around $42, which we felt was very reasonable for the amount and quality of the food. The restaurant was very empty on for a Saturday night- when we walked in around 6:00 PM, there was a couple that was packing up to leave, and a few delivery drivers came in to collect orders, but for the most part, it was just us, which needs to be rectified, as Hot N Spicy Restaurant and Bar is truly fantastic. The only thing we could think of was that the location wasn't optimal for attracting attention from potential customers passing by (it's in a strip mall, sandwiched between a Goodwill and a Habitat for Humanity ReStore), and people just don't know it's there? Overall, we can't wait to come back, and we're excited to tell all of our family and friends about this hidden gem so that they'll come try it too!

Nobody was here (6pm on Saturday), which should have told me to not go, but I starving. It's in the back of a grocery. It was super dirty inside. The floors, walls, just everything was dirty and dingy. My hunger made me think "maybe this will be a surprisingly good hole-in-the-wall situation". They had no music and these two loud beeps that happened constantly. The server was sick and sneezing and sniffing. The food took forever. Plates and silverware were wet; a puddle in the plate. Portions were small. My goat was 50% bones, not meat on the bones, just bones. The rice was dry and clumpy like it was reheated in the microwave. Nan was crispy. Normally I eat very spicy food but my stomach had been weird so we asked for 5/10 and my dude was literally sweating. It said it was a tomato sauce but this was just a bland brown flavor with cilantro. We couldn't eat but 2 bites. Paid full price and left. Luckily she didn't ask how it was because I was prepared to be honest. I think she knew. I didn't know it could get so bad. How are they open? My new low standard will be "well at least it's not as bad as the Indian restaurant in Fairfield!"

Large stuffed dumplings, dishes with layers of flavor and spice (but not heat, per my request). Attentive, friendly, service, and culinary options that are (were at that time at least?) rare to find in the region. Meeting my mentor here for a meal was such a pleasant surprise, this small strip mall location delivering some seriously great food. We each ordered appetizers, and multiple dishes, and between the two of us we didn't have a bad bite. Now, I can't remember exactly what we ordered.... but I'm more than willing to go try a few new things next time.

We both thought everything was very good. We ordered the Paneer Pakora appetizer. It's a generous size portion and the the chutneys served with it are great! I don't know that I'd order the appetizer again as it's 'heavy'. I ordered the Chicken Shahi Korma on a medium heat and my husband ordered the Lamb Vindaloo on the highest heat level. We also ordered the Garlic Naan. I had the Special Tea - chai, cardamom spice and milk - and my husband had a couple of Indian beers. Everything was delicious!

She has since passed and I recently spent a day honoring her and doing some of her favorite things. Getting momos from Hamro Restaurant was one of them. She also loved the Nepali chai tea, so I got a cup of that. This time, I tried the steamed chicken momos. Sadly they were less flavorful than usual and the chicken inside was a bit dry. I am hoping it was just an off day for them. The Nepali tea was SPOT ON and perfect for the cold, snowy day. I ordered carryout online. My order was ready when I arrived and the staff person who cashed me out was very friendly. I will be a forever customer at Hamro Restaurant and can't wait to try all of the menu items in honor of my sister.

If you're feeling poorly, this is guaranteed to fix you right up. I think it's a version of rasam, but I'm not sure. It's spicy and flavorful. I recommend getting some rice to put in it. 10/10 my favorite Indian place in Cincinnati!

TL;DR: Spent $16 on bland chicken korma, very dissapointed…read more I stopped into this place to pick up food since Om India (great restaurant btw) was closed. I came in during dinner hours and ordered chicken korma with garlic naan bread. Red flag: the korma wasn't orange like I was used to seeing from places that do it MUCH better, but I kept an open mind anyways. Gave it a try and my suspicion was confirmed, it was really bland. They also didn't trim some of the sinew, so I got some of that in there. The bread was probably the highlight of the meal, but even still, pretty bland and a lot more toasted than I've seen it normally be. I haven't tried any of their other options or been there during buffet hours, but I figure that if the food is that bland when it's fresh, it's probably not much better during buffet hours. The people there were very nice and the establishment looked interesting, but it's a shame that the food didn't hold up; needless to say, I won't be coming back unless they improve their seasoning... I can get much better food for a little over half the price elsewhere
