This place has got to be one of my favorites. There are a couple of varying menus between the week and the weekend, but my favorite day is Sunday because on the buffet, one of the desserts is a Mango ice cream/sorbet that is amazing!! You can order entrées if the buffet isn't your preference, and there is also a bar as well. I apologize for not having food pics, but I ate it all before I could take a picture.
Was looking for a restaurant that was open on Memorial Day. I have been talking about trying to Indian food for some time and today was my lucky day! I had the Paneer Nan (Tasted the garlic Nan and it was better) that was fresh and tasty. My dinner was Chicken Choley and the flavor and heat (medium) were spot on!! I hope to visit this restaurant again some day! GO! Enjoy!!
What a fantastic buffet ! We did the lunch hours, on a Sunday - excellent quality of food on the buffet line, in a variety of Indian entrees ranging from mild to super crazy spicy hot. Creamy rice pudding was amazing, even had some strawberries & mango as a fruit choice on the buffet. Didn't like the spices in their particular blend for tea, though. Everything else was on point & absolutely delicious
Columbus, OH region has so many vibrant Indian restaurants- this one is consistently doing good. It’s a North Indian/ Punjabi style place. We stopped by for weekend brunch. It was a buffet and the place was fully packed. Majority of the customers were Americans. The food was pretty good, although the spice level is little on the lower side, but it’s definitely not bland. The buffet didn’t have lot of dishes, unlike other buffet. They had minimal dishes - but all of them were good. The potato tikki, eggplant fries, chicken tandoori, saag chicken all were flavorful, and spicy. The salad was fresh and juicy. The home made veg pickle was excellent. The gulab jamun was also great. Overall, the food was quite tasty. We ordered a mango lassi, and that was above average with right amount of sweetness and optimum dense. We ate sitting in the bar area, and their napkins, silverware everything was clean and good.
Went here on a Sunday. Was packed!! But we were given a table in under 2 mins. Food was delicious. Had good variety. Not very heavy. Lamb curry and Fried Fish were my favorite's for the day!! And the Naan was soft as a pillow!!
I have been to this place twice and eaten here 3 times! I am a traveler and I was in Columbus for work. I had my entire team come here and most (not all) enjoyed the experience!! Their ‘Special Butter Chicken’ is to die for!!! I totally enjoyed mushroom matter and kofta. However, their extremely hot caters to ‘American’ pallet! If you wanna have the total Indian experience please sit at the bar and ask Igor to order you the ‘true Indian hot.’ Also, Monica, the owner, is an amazing person. She’s very hands on and exceptional! Ask her for what’s best.. she’s going to give u an honest opinion! Loved being here!
Delicious food, wonderful service, and reasonable prices. If you’re hungry, I highly recommend the Arab India Special for a taste of everything!
We were there for lunch buffet. Price is good, starter are good, curries are okay okay, dessert very less options.We were still having lunch and received check with gratuity. I felt like they were keeping eye every time I was trying to bring something on table. No smile on any of the staffs face. They applied gratuity as well for buffet, not sure what exactly is considered as service in buffet as we take our own food.
First time trying their food and WOW! It is great food for the right price! I would also highly recommend the Garlic Naan!
I drove to Grandview yesterday because my girlfriend wanted to do an Indian buffet for lunch. We normally go to Aangan or New India but I have never been to Aab so I was kind of excited for it. I came in, took a look at the buffet and decided to order off the menu instead. That's not to say the food on the buffet looked terrible, I just didn't see a lot that interested me. I went back to the table and the server seemed irritated that we weren't ordering the buffet. She handed us some menus and that was the last we saw of her. We waited 15 minutes (during which I contemplated just eating off the buffet because I was hungry) and more people came in and were seated. At this point I said "two more minutes and we leave." And two minutes later we left. I can't speak to the quality of the food but the water looked like water and the glasses were clean.
