Lamb Saag
Gabriel G.

This is absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Columbus for Indian food :) The service staff are always a delight, the Lamb Saag is to die for, the Onion naan is so moist and delicious, and the vibe and ambiance inside is super chill. Parking close can sometimes be tough and when it is packed it can be a bit loud in there, but I find every opportunity I can to visit and enjoy this little gem! Highly recommend

A friend and I visited on a Friday night. The restaurant was crowded but we didn't have to wait. The service was inconsistent, but okay. They have such a variety of cocktails so I would love to come back for happy hour. I enjoyed my Indian Summer cocktail as it was refreshing. The bread/naan was a $2 charge but worth it as you can't go wrong with naan. I ordered the Dinner Special which was a generous amount of food for $22. It was a little taste of everything and included an appetizer and dessert. I got spice level 4 out of 5 but probably could've gone 5 as I like to sniffle a little bit when I eat my Indian food. Overall, the meal was good and I would definitely return to this spot for Indian in the future.

Date night! Post-movie dinner at Khaab Indian Kitchen & Bar in Bexley. It was our first time here and we found the restaurant quite bustling and the decor modern, but comfortable. My only complaint is that lighting was really dim,, particularly in the corner, where we sat. The service was very attentive despite how busy they were. We ordered more food than we knew we could eat, but decided to try a couple of different entrees, which looked similar but tasted very different. I ordered the Punjabi lamb and Dan got the chicken Rogan Josh. Both were very good- saucy and the regular heat level was fine for our palates, however there is milder and hotter. We shared the chef's special stuffed naan (which was our favorite) and paneer pakora with dipping sauces. It was a very filling dinner but hit the spot on a cold, dreary night. I'll be back for the happy hour specials.

Amazing Indian lunch buffet! Took my dad on his birthday for lunch and it was fast and had good selection. They have a good selection of seating and a sizeable bar but we didn't drink due to work. The service was friendly too.

I tried their lunch buffet and it turnd out great. The food was fresh and delicious. I like their lamb curry and garlic naan the most, they were well cooked. The gulab jamun were cold and they should be served hot. The service and ambiance were great. The only thing was the place is very popular so if you are planning to go on a weekend try to go early when their buffet starts.

Loved all the food I've tried in the buffet and I tried everything! The ambiance is great, chill, relaxed, and friendly. The place is a bit smaller compared to other Indian buffets, which can be a good thing.

Naan & Rice

Khaab is a a small, modernized Indian cuisine restaurant. On a Friday night for dinner it was pretty packed. Luckily with a couple empty tables. We ordered the Lamb Jalfrezi & Lamb Curry. The stew like dishes & fluffy rice was delish. The Naan is a heavenly pair to the entrees. This is a great place to try quality Indian cuisine. The high-quality food and ample servings make the price well worth it. Even my 4 year old approved on everything.

This restaurant is in Bexley with parking in the back. The lighting inside was dim and it was clean. I went with my mom for restaurant week and we each picked an appetizer, entree, and dessert. I got a fried paneer appetizer and it was okay. I attempted trying something new but didn't love it. I also tried to steer away from chicken tikka masala because I always get it so I got a lamb dish with rice and it was good. I probably wouldn't get it again. The dessert was a little too sweet for me. It was a dough with a honey substance. The service was amazing! The lady was so sweet! I would go back and try other things!

Top 5 restaurant in central Ohio. Well deserved. Nice menu, but your choices are limited. I was…read moresurprised, of the five entree choices, two were pork (we don't eat pork) and no chicken option. We settled on the steak and black cod, although we really did not want red meat. Our server Kelcie, who was 5* by the way, helped us in navigating all the intricacies to the ingredients. Lots of nuance to the menu. Our choices: lamb appetizer, black cod, sirloin, and chocolate mousse; each were tasty, presented well, and excellent dishes. The potato cake on the steak was very different and well done. Our Old Fashion had a nice taste. The place is very small and reservations are a must. The GM Michael came by and chatted us up...to thank us for coming, and glad they were able to accommodate our food needs. Nice touch. Excellent bathrooms. Thanks for that. Be prepared to spend $100 per person. Welcome to the Columbus culinary scene.

We were nervous at first because no one we talked to knew what Gene's was BUT we are SO SO SO glad we went! From the moment you step onto their property it was such an incredible experience. Who knew such a cute and quaint little restaurant could pack so much flavor and art into their food and such a personalized dining experience. While we had a reservation at 8:45, we decided to eat in at the bar after having the most incredible espresso martini of our lives and talking to John. My sister and I opted to share multiple courses - each of which was better than the last. It was an amazing experience and we were lucky enough to compliment and thank the executive chef in person. We left full and satisfied but not stuffed which is exactly what we were looking for! HIGHLY recommend Gene's if you're looking for an elevated dining experience and great service while in Dublin, Ohio!

I really, really, really love the drink menu of the Alibi. Like, a lot. Their visual chart is a…read moregodsend for cocktail explorers, and all of the drinks came out delicious and exactly as described. It's so creative, and the drinks are really the stellar stand out here. However, the atmosphere of those drinks is what gives me pause when thinking about coming back. The limited table situation, tiny cramped space, and loud music means that it doesn't feel particularly relaxing. People are constantly brushing up against you (even at 5PM), and holding a conversation at a normal distance is nearly impossible. NOTE: This place is covered in dust. No shade to the ownership as it doesn't appear to be anywhere near food prep areas (it's on the decor, on/around shelving, all over the faux plants, etc.), but if you're someone who's sensitive to dust, this is probably not a good fit. PROS: -I loooooooove how they've done their drink menu. As someone who is still exploring the potential of cocktails, their nerdy "chart" that places all of their drinks on a sweet/bitter and alcohol-forward/approachable visual chart is SUCH a help. As such, everything I ordered was absolutely amazing for me. I knew exactly what to expect from a drink because of its position on the chart, and it delivered. -Their drinks are really unique. Aqua faba? Fat washed alcohols? Lollipops or toasted marshmallows as garnishes? Super cool. Don't let some of the weirder descriptions creep you out of trying them. -All of their drinks were delicious. Everything I ordered was exactly as described. I often go places where the taste is barely related to its namesake, but they were entirely on-point here. CONS: -I'm not sure if someone called off that night as other reviewers are in love with the service, but our service was really really slow. No real rapport with the staff; just stating the name of a drink as they rushed past and then they were off to try to clean a table or take someone else's order. The drinks they made were great, but this isn't somewhere we'd go if we were in a hurry. -The pictures do not accurately convey how small this place is. Like, it's small. I'd guess less than 1000 square feet. My apartment is bigger by a lot. This isn't necessarily an issue, but it means people pile up quickly as they wait for seating (there's like 4/5 tables and then bar seating). The human walkways are small enough that the bartenders and other guests will brush against you a lot - even while seated. -I get the vibe they were going for here, but with the smaller space, I think a lot of the potential decor options had to "go" in order to fit more humans. It's giving me hardcore The Hearth Room (in Cincinnati) vibes, and I think it could honestly pull it off if it simply had more space. The "relaxed, sophisticated bourbon bar" doesn't quite come through as well when things are so focused on simply fitting in more bodies. -It's loud AF. Like, really, really loud. Between all the people and the blasting pop music, it required leaning into someone's ear in order to speak at normal volumes. We'd regularly have to pause the conversation if something in the music was building to a drop. This is not a place I'd take someone I wasn't very very comfortable with because it really requires being in someone's space to talk. -There's a single all-gender toilet here for everyone in the establishment. It's basically a revolving door of people in and out of it. The door auto-closes, however, so it's really difficult to figure out if it's open or not. There was usually a queue of people waiting in front of the door.

I never leave Alibi disappointed. They always have such a creative menu with something for…read moreeveryone. It always amazes me how quickly they crank out such creative drinks. I'm sure some of them are batched, but they don't taste like they are. Service was excellent, as always. Endlessly knowledgeable. Small place, but never feels crowded even when full.
