DUSMESH INDIAN RESTAURANT REVIEWS

I visited Dusmesh Indian Restaurant last week, and it instantly became my favorite spot in Cincinnati. The Chicken Tikka Curry was outstanding—perfectly spiced, creamy, and full of flavor. The staff were warm and attentive, and the overall atmosphere felt inviting. The buffet offered a great variety of dishes, and everything tasted fresh. If you're looking for the best Indian curry in Cincinnati, OH, this place deserves the top spot!

I’ve been to many Indian restaurants in the area, but Dusmesh truly stands out. Their curries taste authentic and homemade, just like the dishes I enjoyed during my travels in India. The naan was soft and freshly baked, and the paneer dishes were exceptional. I also hired their catering service for a family gathering, and everyone was impressed. Reliable service, generous portions, and absolutely delicious food—highly recommended.

Dusmesh is a gem in Clifton! The moment you walk in, the aroma of spices sets the mood for an amazing meal. The Chicken Tikka and Butter Chicken are both must-try items. The buffet is well-stocked, and every dish delivers great flavor and quality. The staff is friendly, and the restaurant is clean and well-managed. Whether you're new to Indian food or already a fan, Dusmesh offers a memorable dining experience every time.

SHAAN INDIAN CUISINE REVIEWS

We were visiting Cincinnati and wanted to try authentic Indian cuisine. This restaurant has highest reviews, so naturally we went there. Let me tell you, the places deserves this many good reviews. Amazing food, great service, very clean space, super respectful staff and absolutely amazing food quantities. Would recommend anyone to go there if they are looking for real Indian food.

Great find for delicious, authentic, Indian food in the Cincinnati area! Portions are huge and prices are reasonable. Everything we ordered was delicious but the real menu find was the Thali which is kind of hidden in the back of the menu. Comes with so much food plus dessert, and your own basket of garlic naan. Will definitely be back for more soon!

I went here with a group of friends for my first time having Indian food. Service and staff were awesome, friendly, and kept us well taken care of. The food was phenomenal! I will definitely be back.

NEW KRISHNA RESTAURANT REVIEWS

Great little Indian restaurant in a tiny shopping strip, so unexpected . I've been here a few times and food is consistently delicious with a very attentive staff. We got chicken Tikka Masala Aloo Gobi, Dal Makini and Saag Paneer with Kasmiri Naan and garlic Naan.

New Krishna is the best Indian restaurant in Cincy. We’ve tried them all. No one even comes close. The staff family is always welcoming and so wonderful. The food is always fresh and fantastic. Bobby is an amazing owner and always takes care of each guest with excellence. Thank you New Krishna for being you!

Definitely coming back I love this place!!! I went yesterday and had the chicken curry and paneer Naan and it was amazing! The Staff was friendly and I loved the family atmosphere.
