Had a fantastic lunch at Masala Theory in Madeira. We had the Chicken Makhani, Aloo Choley and Naan. Everything was flavorful and delicious! Highly recommend!

Best Indian food I've had in Cincy! Will be back soon. ITs a smal place so seating is somewhat limited. We came off hours.

Delhi Palace has the best Indian food in Cincinnati (in my opinion). I order takeout from them at…read moreleast once a week. I love their chicken shahi korma, their lamb vindaloo, and their veggie samosas (amongst other things).

I came here on a day it was just starting to snow. I had…read moreerrands to do in the area and had been in the mood for Indian food to take home and eat during my snow days. They greeted me upon walking in and took my order. I sat in the waiting area. No one else was there besides a couple that arrived a few minutes after me that was dining in. It only took about 10-15 minutes for my order. I got the Lamb Saag at a level 2 and Chicken Tikka Masala at Level 3, plus both garlic and paneer naan. I enjoy spicy food, but opted for the low end because this was a new place for me and I was going off of the reviews I saw. The lamb had nice flavor but wasn't spicy at all. I would prefer a 3-4. I let my mother have the rest because she was very fond of it even though she's not as open to different cultures cuisines as I am. I preferred the chicken. Very tasty to me. Again, level 3 did have a bit more spice but I would go even higher next time. Both types of naan were great. I would have liked if the paneer naan had more cheese though. When I'm in the mood for Indian and in the area again as I often am, I'd surely go back.

As my good friend from the planet of Erid would say "Amaze. Amaze. Amaze."…read more Truly an incredible meal, well decorated environment, and the food was just fantastic. The garlic naan was to me, what any garlic bread at any restaurant should be. Phenomenal meal. Thank you.

We made reservations for lunch on a Sunday but coming in, we definitely did not need them. There…read morewas not a lot of people there. And after having some wonderful food, that's surprised me! Service was great and very friendly. You could tell this place was clean and very well maintained. My husband and I had lunch with a friend. They have a pretty extensive menu but it's not as extensive as a lot of other Indian restaurants. I think they managed to condense it down for most people. I have the chicken tikka McGreb which is close to the masala like stuff but it's full of mushrooms which I just love! The Jasmine rice it came with was also delicious underneath it. It came with garlic naan as well which was super nice because other places we go to, you have to pay more for garlic naan. My husband had more of a fried rice dish that also came with something that has creamy lentils. I can't remember what it is called. But it was delicious! We also shared an appetizer of samosas which came with spicy onions, tamarind, and a delicious green sauce. We finished off lunch with a gulab jamun dessert. The whole place served a great food and we are very much looking forward to coming back!
