Don't judge a book by its cover. This place is AWESOME. I was in town for work and the guy I was traveling with recommended it. Great recommendation. We got there super early and were the only people in the restaurant. When you walk in it's definitely not the fanciest place. But the waitress was nice and attentive. I started with an Indian beer, Flying horse. It came out in a 1 L bottle and tasted pretty good. Then quickly after my lamb Tikka Masala and garlic Naan came out. Both were perfect. Probably too much food for one person but I was starving and ate it all. If I could give the food 6 out of 5 stars I would. read more

Overall pretty bland which is not what I expect for Indian food. Might be a good fit if that's what you're looking for! Great quantity! I got the Korma Vegetarian which was under chef special on the menu. It was hot and fresh just really bland. The veggie samosas were good - nice texture. read more

Wow! This was a great first experience for me trying authentic Indian food! We had a pretty large group (10 ish) on a Sunday afternoon - the staff were super friendly. They had a lot of options - since it was my first time I decided to go with butter chicken, vegetable samosas, and garlic naan. It was DELICIOUS! I could eat so much of that naan, it was great. The samosas came with two sauces and both were yum. I have plans to go back and try more! read more

This was our first time trying SHAHI and it was wonderful! I got the Chicken Tikka Masala and Garlic Naan and can't wait to go back again! The service was great and our waiter was so nice to us. This restaurant brings back memories when it used to be O Lounge and I love that some of the features remained the same. SHAHI is a great addition and a new favorite place! Thank you for the experience! :) read more

Shahi Indian Grill - Tikka Masala Chicken and Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Such a cute hidden gem in the Old Market! Loved the waterfall feature in the dining room! Our server was wonderful and everything came out super quick. And the food!! Get the Samosas for sure! I got the chicken tikka masala and was not disappointed. It also warms up well as a leftover. read more

Excellent. Delicious flavors. Samosas perfect. Tikka Masala (I know I know) was perfectly balanced. Garlic naan was fantastic. Can't be happier with my order. read more

I finally got the chance to watch out at Shahi Indian Grill and I can't wait to go back! I ordered the spicy chicken vindaloo with a piece of garlic naan. The naan was so amazing we ended up ordering two more to take home with leftovers. I also ordered hot chai which was fantastic. The inside of the restaurant is really nice with booth and table seating. The waiter was very friendly and was quick to refill chai and water whenever we were running low. read more

Shahi Indian Grill - Vindaloo Chicken - Indian Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

I had the chicken tikka marsala with a spice level 3 and it was delicious and the perfect amount of spicy for me! The food portion is great and they packed up another box of rice for us to take home with our leftovers. We also had the garlic naan which was delicious! The service was excellent. Our server was very nice and came back to fill our waters up frequently. The look and feel of the place was great too. It wasn't cold and I'm always cold in restaurants. The waterfall created a nice noise alongside the music that was playing at just the right volume. read more

I love this restaurant! They have a "Vegetarian dinner for 2" which is less than $40. It includes so much delicious food, honestly the server had to convince me that I was actually reading the menu correctly. Note: that particular deal is only good for dine-in customers. Service is great, it's a pleasant place to be. Located right by the downtown park, so you can go for a nice walk after your meal, or maybe just sit on a swinging bench if you are too full. read more

Lovely food! Consistent, tasty. A real treat on a cold day! I have Shrimp Tikke Masala. Sublime.

Everything was tasty and the staff were friendly. The Chana saag was 7-7.5/10. The vegetable korma was about the same. Good experience. Very happy they are able to make dishes vegan and the vegetable kormas seems to already come that way which isn't always the case! I would definitely come back read more

Good food and outstanding service! A great option for dining if you're in the Gene Leahy mall area in downtown. A great selection of Indian bread as well as vegan options on their menu. I recommend the garlic naan and the lamb korma. Some parts of the place can use a little refresh, but overall a great spot to wine and dine. read more

Indian is my favorite type of food, and unfortunately Shahi did not pass the test. My go-to dishes at new places are either madras or vindaloo, so here I tried chicken vindaloo. They need to change the menu wording--it is not "very hot" but rather pretty bland, and soupy; to me vindaloo should be more of a paste. The fact that it was tossed in a smooth creamy tomato sauce seemed like it was more of an instant (not homemade) base for the curry like you get in frozen Indian dishes, or perhaps they use it for multiple dishes. There was enough chicken, but the sauce ruined it for me. Garlic naan was underwhelming as well and seemed like a frozen kind. Soup was also not included with entrees which is another downside, although according to their menu their mulligatawny has meat in it, so I'm not sure about that...it shouldn't. Ambiance is pretty fancy, and we came at a pretty slow time before heading to the Orpheum to a show, and service was okay. Best part of the meal for me was sadly my Taj Mahal. I won't be back here. read more

Great service and very good Indian food. I've eaten here numerous times and the food is always flavorful with just the right amount of spice. The portions are large so you will have plenty to share or have for the next days lunch. read more

I really wanted to love this place. Unfortunately the food was horrible and the service was also pretty poor. It was pretty pricey for lunch and both of us didn't eat our food Portions of the food were cold. read more

The service was good but it took a little longer than we thought it should but maybe they were busy. I had their food at their other location in Sioux City, IA and I wanted to see if this was just as great as that one and let me tell you that it was. Is was creamy and the food was cooked to perfection, with some spiciness and full of flavor. read more

The service at this restaurant was great, the server was extremely helpful. The food was good and there was plenty of it, my son had a complete lunch for the next day. read more

Visited Omaha for the first time. Like any place I visit, I tried the local Indian restaurant. I have to say that this is a great place with awesome food, attentive service and cool ambience. We tried a lot of different dishes. All the dishes were delicious and very nicely spiced. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Omaha. Kamala was an awesome host. read more

Ive always gotten take out from here but this was my first time actually dining in the restaurant! It's really pretty on the inside. The service was very fast and out server was really nice as well. I got the combo app because i wanted to try a little of everything. The mint chutney and mango chutney complemented the fried apps really well. For my main meal, I got the madras chicken. It was really good, and the taste of coconut was not strong and over powering at all. I also liked how they label which of their menu items were dairy free! read more

Thank you Yelp for helping a business traveler who missed the last flight of day to enjoy a night in Downtown Omaha. What a great restaurant! The menu is diverse without being overwhelming. Lots of vegan and vegetarian options. I appreciated being able to order my food at a 6 out of 10 spice level - just perfect with my tall, cold beer. Garlic naan is light and tasty. The Masala is creamy and flavorful. Portion size was perfect if not a bit too much with a generous serving of rice. I dined late on a Thursday night and although there were others in the booths in front and behind me, the noise level was fine. Definitely recommend and hope to return - next time without missing my flight! read more

Chicken Tikka Masala had a very good flavor. Sauce was good consistency/thickness. Plenty of chicken. Garlic Naan was really good. Plenty of rice. They forgot one of my Naan and instead of extra sauce, they gave be a container of raw onions. So, I lost out on $8 spent... Chicken was just a chopped/cubed breast rather than pulled fresh chicken (a preference). We asked for a hot and a mild version. Neither was marked. No discernible difference in spiciness. 3.75 stars read more

Definitely food and service is really good the person working in NE very nice but I ordered the malie kovtas but in curry to much peas that was not that good I suggest next time make sure curry should be belongs to the dish read more

I was looking for a dinner spot within walking distance of our hotel while in town for work. I love Indian food and don't get it often enough so we decided to try this place. We went early in the evening (around 5 PM) and there were only a couple other tables seated. It's a very nice looking space. Serene and peaceful. The server was very helpful and letting us know the answers to all our menu questions. I ordered the lamb madras at a level 8.5. And it was delicious! It wasn't super hot. Maybe next time I would try a nine. We also had the garlic naan based on all the great yelp ratings and I would say that is a must try. We started with the vegetable samosas, and we both thought those were worth, ordering again also. Unfortunately, my coworker had a Hair in her entrée. The staff was super nice about getting her a new one made right away. But I don't think her experience was as good as mine. I didn't want to eat in front of her and she wanted to go back to the hotel so we just packed everything up and, took it back to the hotel. They were very nice about it, but unfortunately that will happen once in a while. read more

Had this restaurant the first time in Sioux City Iowa and I really loved the biryani. It was good also in omaha but was hoping to have as many raisins. Th yogurt is so good and the lamb was great too. Next time I will ask for more raisins it really makes the dish. read more

This place was really barely okay. Food was fresh, but not seasoned well. My chicken tikka was light orange instead of the bold color I'm used to seeing. The light color was commensurate with the flavor. I wasn't a big fan of all the fake and silk flowers....ah-chew. Because dust. There was also a weird and ugly dirty looking waterfall feature. read more

I sat at the bar and it was nice, clean, and well-stocked. The bar tenders were very helpful when selecting my food, not so much with selecting an Indian beer. I chose the Taj Mahal and I really enjoyed it. For my meal, I got the chicken madras with rice and regular naan. The chicken was delicious and perfectly spicy. The naan was HUGE and delicious. The rice was... rice. I will definitely return the next time I'm in Omaha. read more

My husband and I come downtown to eat here as often as we can. We get the basic butter chicken and chicken tikka masala with garlic naan. Every time, without fails, it is simply delicious. We used to go to location in Sioux Falls, SD years and years ago. So when they opened one here in Omaha, it quickly became a frequent stop. It's much busier now than when it first opened. Service and decor have only improved but the food remains consistently amazing. I highly recommend Shahi to everyone! read more

Went to Shahi on the recommendation that "this is the best Indian food" he's ever had. I agree. I ordered the lamb madras and chicken korma with garlic naan for carry out. The madras and korma came in plastic to-go tubs and the naan was packaged in its own paper bag. Both the madras and korma had plenty of spice (moderate) and had plenty of flavor. The garlic naan was well seasoned and easy to pull apart to dip in either the korma or madras. Looking forward to coming here again! read more

Staying at the Hilton and ordered Shahi delivery. My food arrived fast and it was hot and fresh. The butter chicken had great flavor and the naan is huge! It was good value and good food. read more

This place is LEGIT. Ordered via DoorDash and even with the extra fees, the price was reasonable. The food was great! Saag panneer was awesome, naan was great! I could go on, but we didn't have anything but great dishes. Zero hesitation in ordering again. And their packaging and marketing was on point, super professional. You don't find a lot of independent restaurants firing on all cylinders, but this place has it going on. Great food, solid value, fast delivery and good marketing. read more

This is the best Indian food in Omaha, in my opinion. I've had a number of meals here, and they have been consistently delicious.

On a road trip we stopped in and were pleasantly surprised. It was delicious. There were no momos (Indian dumplings). There was a weird smell in the entryway and by the bathrooms. Also, there is a water fountain, which is nice but makes a lot of background noise. One of the people with us wears hearing aids and it was hard for that person to hear the conversation. It looked really nice and the waiter was kind. We were the only people, so it was fast. read more

The food is by far the best in Nebraska. I will most definitely order again. Thank you for the great food.

Food was amazing! Great flavors. Lamb Tikka Masala was so good. Naan tasted great too. Will be coming again!

My first time having Indian food and it was delicious!! The service was great. Ambiance was very nice!! Will return!

This is by far the best Indian food i have had in Omaha and Lincoln. Every meal is packed with flavor. the garlic Naan is buttery and delicious. 100% recommend to anyone. The service was attentive and brought the food out fast and hot. Do not be fooled by the outside. you do not want to miss this place. read more

Shahi Indian Grill - Butter chicken N3. Garlic Naan - Indian Near Me - Omaha, Nebraska

Despite living blocks away, I haven't tried Shahi until this past week. Unfortunately, I personally won't be back unless I'm craving Indian food and can't be bothered to drive to my go-to restaurants. That said, I think this is a compelling restaurant in general due to its location, and the flavors are suitable for a more muted palate. If you've enjoy Indian food and have lived in larger cities/dined in India, Shahi will miss the mark. I ordered vegetable pakora, lamb vindaloo (hot), and garlic naan. Of these, the naan was the best. It's a refreshingly generous portion, and the garlic bits/flavor was robust. The pakora was not like anything I've had before. If you're looking for bits of identifiable vegetables lightly battered and fried, you will be disappointed. My guess is they process some combination of vegetables into a purée/paste like consistency, then batter and fry those. They were fairly tasty, but it felt like I was eating fried mashed vegetables, and it looked that way too. Maybe I'm wrong, but I prefer a more rustic pakora. As for the lamb vindaloo, this is where I think I am most justified in my disappointment. I ordered a spicy heat level because I enjoy that, but this tasted... mild. I didn't even break a sweat. The lamb to potato ratio was also a bit stingy for the price, even accounting for prime downtown rent overhead. But where I take the biggest issue was the sauce base. Mine had the consistency of soup. Every curry dish I've had in any Indian restaurant has been fairly thick. Thick enough to scoop onto a piece of naan. In fairness, I haven't had Indian food in India. But I've had plenty in other major cities, including London, and the consistency has never been anywhere as runny as it was at Shahi. Maybe it was an off-day in the kitchen- I don't know. What I do know is that there are a lot of restaurants in the area that I've yet to try before I'd need to think about circling back to Shahi. But if you prefer a non-spicy soup-like curry, you may crave an experience like mine. read more
