This place is sooo good and worth your time! This is my go to place and the food always has great quality and service! Definitely recommend.

I have been going to nawaab for a very long time and I've always considered it one of my favorite restaurants. the past few months, every time I've ordered my chicken I've noticed the quality of the chicken has really gone down. in the past there were all very white non fatty pieces that were super yummy. now a lot of the peices are kind of dark and fatty. I really hope that this issue gets resolved because I wouldn't want to loose my favorite place read more

I've been a massive fan of their food for years and probably order here once a week. I'm devastated that they changed their masala sauce, especially with their Paneer tiki masala. The recipe for their original dark red masala sauce was the best I've ever had. Not sure why they changed it. But it's not as good. Go back to the OG sauce read more

Food was fabulous, service was great! We were celebrating a birthday and everything went very well. We will definitely return for more!

Came in for lunch and discovered they have lunch buffet, so I went with buffet since this was my first time here. Chicken Tikka Masala and dish next to it were both delicious. I thought I didn't like Gulab Jamun dessert, until I tried it here. Wow, just wow! Their Gulab Jamun is part of the buffet, and it's absolutely amazing. The owner said this restaurant has been here for 27 years! I will be back and I'll get pics next time. read more

The lunch buffet was a little small and I wish it had more options, but for $13 I guess it's fair. The service was pretty fast and very attentive. The mango juice was excellent and the chicken tandoori was actually very moist. The butter chicken in the buffet was a little tough though. The paneer was also mediocre. I will definitely return when I get the Indian food cravings. read more

Nawab Indian Restaurant - Plate from the lunch buffet - Indian Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

My wife went here for our last date. The food and service was great! Terrific atmosphere and super friendly staff. Everyone from the server, chef, and owner spoke with us to make our experience a memorable one. Now for the food. I was so flavorful and cooked to perfection. The spice level was on point. I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

When you come into the restaurant, you are given the option of getting access to the buffet or ordering dishes from their menu. The samosas come with 2 decently sized pieces, but they charge a fee for sharing appetizers. The dishes are a bit expensive, and while the rice portions are very generous, the size of the meat dishes is very small, considering the price. The restaurant had Indian music playing as we ate and had very nice decor, creating a relaxing atmosphere while we ate and while I would be happy to eat there again the price for the small portions makes me hesitant to recommend it to those on a budget. Overall, the food and atmosphere were great but I would only eat here on special occasions due to its high prices. read more

Nawab Indian Restaurant - Chicken tikka masala Rice side Lamb do piaza Meat samosa - Indian Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Stopped in for their AYCE lunch buffet - for the price you can't complain. Everything was fresh, bright and full of flavor.

The best Indian food in Bethlehem. There's really not much more to say. ...but yelp requires more characters. read more

Very. Delicious. Call first to make a reservation! During this time of Covid, they only take reservations. But, We came right at opening so they were able to seat us. We ordered 3 different kinds of curries and enjoyed all 3 of them. My kids, 2 and 4 years old are really well too, so this is a win for me! read more

Had takeout from here and the food was ready quickly. We ordered: - Garlic Naan - Plain Naan - Vegetable Samosas - Chicken Shahi Korma - Vegetable Korma - Chicken Tikka Masala All tasted great. Lots of finely minced garlic on the garlic naan. Large pieces of chicken in the dishes we had. We will definitely eat form here again. Best Indian restaurant in Bethlehem. read more

My go to place for chicken tikka masala. Out of all the Indian places I have been to I think their's in the best. Perfect level of spicy. The service is great and the ambiance is cozy. read more

So so good! I couldn't stop eating hahah The veggie samosas are unbelievable! Don't listen to the bad reviews, just try this place! It doesn't disappoint read more

By far this is the best Indian restaurant in the Lehigh valley. I have had homemade cuisine and this is the same as I would expect. Try the samosas chatt as it is an experience I had only had here and they are fantastic! read more

Nawab Indian Restaurant - Entry way - Indian Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Got Carryout, but dining room had one party inside. Chicken is excellent quality, sauce was very good. It is getting too expensive, though.... $50 for ordinary entrees seems too high... read more

I ordered delivery food from Nawab via the GrubHub app on February 8, 2018. I was pretty excited to FINALLY see a place that delivered Indian food on GrubHub! I placed my order at 11:46, it arrived 12:15. So that was a pretty reasonable time. Food came sealed tubs, bagged in paper, then plastic. The delivery guy was polite and friendly. Dishes I ordered were: Chicken Tikka Masala (marinated chicken in a seasoned, rich, tomato cream sauce) Nav Ratten Korma (vegetables in a thick, seasoned almond sauce) Chicken Curry The two chicken dishes came with rice I also got a Papadum wrapped in foil with the order (thin, crispy lentil cracker appetizer) Order also came with 2 dipping sauces The chicken tikka masala has such a vibrant red color and a sweet, savory flavor with a hint of spice. The Nav Ratten Korma - mild and tasty, really love that almond sauce, it reminds me of Thai Satay sauce. It had peas, carrots, onion, zucchini... The chicken curry was also pretty good, more savory though. The Papadum was very thin and crisp, it reminded me of a seasoned Pringle chip, but not as salty. I liked it. The sauce dishes all had a hint of heat, but nothing that would send me racing for milk and crackers, lol. Price wise, well... Most Indian places are a little expensive because of the spices and cooking techniques required and I did order a lot. In the end, here was the price: Food: $37.85 Sales Tax: $ 2.63 Delivery fee: $ 5.99 Tip: 6.97 Total: $53.44 But to be fair, I could have knocked $12.96 off my order if I had picked it up I just had some extra money from a PTO cashout at work and I felt like treating myself. I certainly would recommend Nawab to anyone who likes Indian food. They seem to have a quality business here and I hope they keep the delivery option! read more

I ordered from here because the indian restaurant that I usually go to is closed Tuesdays. I wouldn't order from here again. Food was not great. If this was my only Indian food experience i had, I would not eat Indian food again. read more

Disappointed with the Indian cuisine here as the biryani I ordered was abysmal and although I requested medium spice, it was not spicy whatsoever. The biryani tasted like a chicken rice with no authentic flavors or aromas. The service was subpar as after the server brought the food, he went inside the kitchen and it was difficult to find him to request pepper or more water. Considering the quality of food and the interiors inside, the menu items are overpriced and not worth it. The paleek paneer was ok, but also not spicy nor did it taste very fresh. Perhaps the other North Indian dishes would be better. The samosas were bland and dry. The only decent item was pakora however the entire meal service was a letdown. read more

Went to Nawab on 5/6 for my girlfriends birthday dinner...EXCELLENT as usual...I had Chicken tikka masala and my girlfriend had Shrimp tikka masala...also had a side of onion naan...all prepared perfectly and the server was great...will return again ! read more

Great food. Not so great customer service... After day 2 at an out of town class, I just wanted to chill in my hotel room for the night. I got on the handy dandy Yelp app, as always, and looked for someplace that delivered through Yelp/GrubHub. I found this place and started my online Yelp order. One order of mild chicken makhani, one order of medium chicken mango, one order of mild Chana masala, 4 naan, two cokes and a mango lassi. Order complete at 1814 (6:14 pm for the normal world). I got all of the appropriate messages about the order being received, etc. And then, we wait for the food fairy to arrive at my hotel. GrubHub said they would be at my hotel at 1904 (7:04 pm). At 1920, I called the restaurant asking where they were. There was a nice woman that answered initially and went to look into the problem. Then a guy came on the line with a thick accent. He told me it wasn't his problem and that I needed to call GrubHub, which I promptly did. Long story made endless... My food arrived at 1946. The food was cold. The chicken mango was split open and oozing all over the bag. The lassi was hot. The cokes were warm. GrubHub refunded the money for the chicken mango, the lassi, and the cokes. The food that was still edible was not bad. It was flavorful. The naan was mostly fresh. But, if I had to make a decision for another night I would find another restaurant with a better rating on Yelp. read more

Nawab is awesome! We had it for the first time ever yesterday and liked it so much, we ordered again when my in laws were over tonight! The vegetarian platter is an awesome, diverse appetizer. Their naan is perfectly fluffy! I went back for the paneer makhani a second time tonight. Highly recommend. Everyone had rave reviews about the rest of our order. For the vegetarians, we also had vegetable palou and the malai kofta. The omnivores enjoyed the chef special and shrimp nirgisi. Since tonight we had a big order, they kindly included complimentary gulab jamun. So yummy. I have only had good Indian food in the Lehigh Valley. Nawab certainly stands out! Great takeout spot. read more

My parents and I had a pleasant dinner here a few nights ago. We had meat samosas, chicken tikka masala (mild), aloo gobi (medium), and lamb saag (medium), served with a giant platter of perfectly cooked rice. In addition to these dishes, we had garlic naan and gobi paratha. Everyone really enjoyed their dish - we each ended up taking a to go box because it was just very filling. While I appreciate how attentive our server was in refilling our water glasses, he was perhaps too eager to clear away our plates. It wasn't close to closing and there weren't any people waiting so I'm not entirely sure what the rush was. Nonetheless, I'd be happy to return here on future visits home. read more

The Quick: BYOB, amazing authentic indian food, big portions, extremely reasonable prices, plus good service. The Details: I love this place. I've ordered almost everything on the appetizer menu and have devoured it all. The prices are so reasonable i recommend getting a few things to split. The Tiki Masala, the Vindaloo, a few other names I can't pronounce -- all delicious and made fresh to order. The Damage: We've ordered multiple apps and entrees to split, enjoyed a great bottle of wine, and spent about ~$25 per couple. Price cannot be beat. read more

My wife and I ordered the vegetable samosas, regular naan and garlic naan, chicken tikka masala and chicken curry. My goodness it was soo flavorful and amazing! I love the level of medium spicy on the chicken curry, the garlic naan was different, I'm used to eating the regular but I will now order the garlic from now on. My wife and I both really enjoyed our meals and the customer service was fantastic! As for the samosas, they have a special place in my heart. My baby sitter used to make them for her kids and myself. She is from Pakistan, as soon as I bit into it, I felt instant nostalgia! Thank you so much! We will be back for more! read more

We ordered the chana masala, lamb vindaloo, chicken tikka masala (my wife's only choice at an Indian joint) and garlic naan. Overall, I found the food to be okay. The flavors weren't as well married as I have in other Indian restaurants, but when in Bethlehem, I don't think there are a bunch of other Indian joints to visit. Would I go out of my way to eat here, probably not. But if my daughter wanted to come here for dinner or lunch, I would certainly go. BTW, the service we received was very attentive and friendly. read more

Very good food. I highly recommend samosas for appetizers and masala or Korma for entrees. I love both of these sauces with chicken, paneer, or lamb. Garlic naan is a must, as well. Very nice people here! read more

Meh. There are plenty of better Indian restaurants. My food only had 1 shrimp. Just one!! I just laughed it off. But I won't return. The flavor Was meh as well read more

Indian food is pretty limited in Bethlehem, so I'm glad this place serves good food! I always get the chicken tikka masala which never fails to disappoint. I also typically get an order of naan, and it's usually spot on- slightly crispy edges, soft and easy to tear apart, and flavorful. The portion sizes are pretty generous too and I'm always able to get at least two meals out of one entree. I usually order takeout but the one time I dined in, the waiter was friendly and attentive. read more

Nawab Indian Restaurant - Curry chicken and chicken tikka masala - Indian Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

I frequently get takeout via grubhub from these guys. The food is excellent. Despite reading the negative reviews on here I have never had a bad experience. The food is always delivered within 45 minutes and never have an issue with packaging. HIGHLY recommend the Chana masala, meat samosas and bhojia. read more

Lousy food. One of those times you're ashamed to be walk into a place and 'eat' Indian food as a Indian. Nothing in the buffet was even close to good. Thankfully I don't live in Bethlehem and it was my last visit. Will try to upload a picture or two to make my point.. read more

Nawab Indian Restaurant - Dried up tandoori chicken on the buffet.. forget tasteful, it was unedible. - Indian Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

This is one of the better Indian restaurants in the Lehigh Valley area, especially on days when they have the buffet. During COVID, their takeout service has been on point for fast and reliable meals. The taste and portions are also great. read more

Was fantastic and then decided to raise every price by over five dollars after COVID. During COVID priced were reasonable and Pickup and delivery should not be the same price. Only started since they opened inside dining. Unfair to their consistent clientele. That's a change that isn't fair to the customers. read more

It was really empty when we went. I remember thinking that the food was good, but that it wasn't really worth it. (It could also be my personal taste - I don't particularly like Indian.) They also didn't have my favorite - butter chicken!! My curry dish was good (don't remember which - but it was a standard one), but my friend's lamb curry dish was subpar. read more

We absolutely LOVE Nawab! Food is always outstanding, they are so polite and we're very accommodating of my moms boyfriends diet needs! Thanks for letting us enjoy your food on Mother's Day! read more

Best Indian Food Restsurant! My husband and I dined in. He had lamb Mariani which was seasoned to perfection. I had tandoori chicken. Best I've ever had. We also had Mulligatawny soup. You won't be disappointed eating here. Can't wait to get back read more

I've been here twice for the buffet and I've liked it a lot. I know some big eaters and this is their go-to spot for value/taste/carbs. It's quiet and peaceful inside as if you're transported to a different place. Dare I say it is relaxing to eat here? If I still lived in Bethlehem Nawab would be in heavy rotation. read more
